Monitor – Antonio Valencia
Filed under: Members - Posted by: Mark
Our latest Monitor article for Members examines the progress of Antonio Valencia, a player who, over recent weeks, has emerged from the shadow of team-mate Nani to become a hugely popular Fantasy midfield option. With Wildcards in play and Nani struggling for returns, Valencia has been an established transfer target of late, attracting investment that triggered his first Fantasy Premier League (FPL) price rise this week.
We examine his progress over his recent spell of form, compare his raw statistics with those produced by Nani and place Valencia’s great strength – his ability to create chances – alongside the top performers over the last eight Gameweeks.

January 30 at 8:08 pm
Tommytour59 - Timmy Loving says:
Raylor > Santon
Shotton > Huth
January 30 at 8:12 pm
ryan8565 says:
debating raylor to santon. and shotton to huth. but if cabaye is suspended dont u think raylor will play?
January 30 at 8:15 pm
AXER says:

January 30 at 8:20 pm
ryan8565 says:

i like it -not sure on gerard. personally i have dumped walters and bae to recycle money. i will link my team below. wonder what you reckon!
January 30 at 8:11 pm
Tommytour59 - Timmy Loving says:
Gerrard > Silva either this week or next up to you! Very risky defense, Taylor > Cahill now Terry out or Shotton > Shawcross?
January 30 at 7:56 pm
joe12 says:
do people think turner will play for sunderland now? good fixtures
January 30 at 7:58 pm
Chris_White (Ballur) says:
after this week they dont have a good fixture until gw30, especially defensively
January 30 at 7:57 pm
Ginkapo says:
Sudan 2-1 Burkina Faso
Ivory Coast 2-0 Angola
Ivory Coast qualify as group leaders
Sudan go though second
So we get;
Ivory Coast v Equatorial Guinea
Zambia v Sudan
January 30 at 7:58 pm
Mull says:
Tripling up on both of them.
January 30 at 7:59 pm
Mull says:
Or how ever may Ivorians/Zambians you can fit into one team.
January 30 at 8:01 pm
Ginkapo says:
that would be 6. Seems a bit like overkill
January 30 at 7:59 pm
Ginkapo says:
You can go more than triple now
January 30 at 7:58 pm
Gargamel says:
I’m definitely loading up on maximum number of Ivorians in the acon game with that tie!
January 30 at 7:59 pm
CatMac says:
I’ve just come back on my pc to see Angola is out and no Yaya tonight!!
January 30 at 8:00 pm
Ginkapo says:
Nope just Kolo and Sol were in the second string team.
Drogba did make an appearance to get me those win points though
January 30 at 8:04 pm
CatMac says:
I had Kolo and Drogba as sub, so not too bad. Also had Khalifa, Sudan defender who was heading for a CS until the last minute.
January 30 at 8:05 pm
CatMac says:
Drogba as sub, Kolo I had in starting 11.
January 30 at 8:10 pm
Ginkapo says:
Good stuff, you should be getting through this game week reasonably well too then.
January 30 at 8:00 pm
applebonkers says:
3 clean sheets out of 3 for ivory coast, good stuff
January 30 at 8:01 pm
Ginkapo says:
How many of their defenders did you have?
January 30 at 8:02 pm
applebonkers says:
first game 2 but one was eboue, second game 2, and this game only 1 due to resting fears
January 30 at 8:07 pm
Ginkapo says:
I had the Kolo and Eboue, then Kolo and Sol who I kept. I felt the fear, but doubted my ability to pick a definite starter so stayed.
January 30 at 8:11 pm
applebonkers says:
ah so you kept bamba. i sold him and yaya, in hindsight silly, should have just benched bamba
January 30 at 7:58 pm
Pat Mustard says:
What strikers are Fulham linked with? A good enough one to shift Dempsey back to midfield?…

Mr_T says:
Nice team. I would look to get bale in.. but then again I am a yid
January 30 at 8:09 pm
joe12 says:
i wish! its bale or dempsey and dempsey has the better fixtures.
January 30 at 8:01 pm
joe12 says:
any suggestions for a cheapy defender i can switch from BAE into (trying to raise dollars) ??
January 30 at 8:07 pm
Archie says:
Senderos, Santon, Taiwo, Evans.
All good options from 4-4.5
January 30 at 8:09 pm

n taylor?
January 30 at 8:05 pm
Dhubanmonkey says:
best defender for 4.9 or under please?
January 30 at 8:06 pm
Tommytour59 - Timmy Loving says:
Can’t see any exciting transfers to make untill GW28 when we can start loading up on Man Utd Liverpool and Spurs players until the finish! Plus potential DGWs!
January 30 at 8:12 pm
Ginkapo says:
DEMBA BA!
But yeah I am just doing my preplanned defencive transfers to get Komps and Vermaelen in
January 30 at 8:13 pm
Tommytour59 - Timmy Loving says:
Valencia Torres > Silva Ba next week for me, excited!
January 30 at 8:08 pm
deccoo says:
RMT and how do I get Ba in here for next week! A poxy 0.2 in the bank!
Mignolet
BAE/Kelly/Simpson
Bale(C)/Sess/Silva/Dempsey
RVP/Aguero/Fletcher
HBA/Enrique/Caulker
Am thinking sacrificing Enrique for J Evans or Bardsley this week and then Fletcher for Ba next gameweek – any better options?
January 30 at 8:24 pm
joe12 says:
i had this problem – i downgraded bae to caulker. my team is below
January 30 at 8:19 pm
In Like Flynn says:
FPL already has Cabaye as suspended, is this correct?
January 30 at 8:35 pm
Mark says:
The policy is to mark as suspended when a charge which results in immediate suspension is dished out, at least until an appeal is confirmed which could delay the suspension for the Gameweek that immediately follows. This has been applied with all previous charges this season – Alcaraz, N’Zonzi and Kompany.

Great piece on Valencia, was saying the exact same thing on here last week!!!
I hope people continue to get him in and get disappointed though. Sorry, but that’s the name of the game!

how does the fpl site work in terms of the deadline day players- i.e is it going to be updated for players like jelavic or cisse for this gameweek?
