The Watchlist Updated – Young Guns
Filed under: The Watchlist - Posted by: Mark
Our Watchlist rankings have had their regular weekly refresh and can be found in their usual location – in the lower right sidebar. Once again, we’re seeing City’s assets slip with form, fixtures and injuries working against them. Budget defenders continue to offer exceptional value, and while there looks to be just a single slot up for grabs in our attacks, the midfields are seeing plenty of movement, with strong mid-price and budget options pushing for selection.
Goalkeepers
Adam Bogdan remains at the top of the goalkeeper rankings – partly due to the wealth of defensive alternatives available to cover returns from other teams. The likes of Steven Caulker, Stephen Kelly, Andy Wilkinson, Gareth McAuley and Benoit Assou-Ekotto all offer cheaper or more favourable routes to their respective defences.
Bogdan’s clean sheet potential may be limited but, at 4.0 in the FPL and with exceptionally strong fixtures, the Hungarian offers the cheapest option in Bolton’s defence, allowing us to cover other teams with the aforementioned defenders – all of whom look more favorable than their respective goalkeepers. It should also be noted that Bogdan has returned nine points from saves in his last nine games, including four points in the last three matches – for a miserly 4.0, that’s not a bad solution. He also works well in tandem with both of the top owned keepers – Michel Vorm and Tim Krul, over their run of tough fixtures in the next month.
David De Gea is your heavyweight option with exceptional form and fixtures in his favour. Anders Lindegaard’s imminent return to fitness is a mild concern but, right now, you can be confident in De Gea’s starts for another three to four Gameweeks, with strong clean sheet potential available.
In the mid-price bracket, Fulham’s Mark Schwarzer and Tottenham’s Brad Friedel both offer assured quality acquisitions with decent fixtures ahead. Again though, Kelly for Fulham and Assou-Ekotto for Spurs look stronger routes to the defensive returns on offer. Likewise, while West Brom’s Ben Foster looks to have potential, his appeal is reduced by the availability of Gareth McAuley as an outstanding budget prospect.
In terms of goalkeeping rotation, we like Bogdan with Schwarzer until Gameweek 34, with Sunderland’s Simon Mignolet then replacing Bogdan and rotating nicely with the Fulham stopper until the penultimate Gameweek. The final day lottery is the issue there, with Schwarzer facing Spurs away and Mignolet up against United. Friedel and Mignolet is another pairing worth investigating – they swap home and away up until Gameweek 35 but have favourable fixtures between them right until the season end.
Defenders
Jonny Evans continues to look an essential bargain purchase who just can’t be ignored for United’s run-in. He’s being chased by Liverpool’s Martin Skrtel, who for us just has the edge on Jose Enrique with greater goal threat. The Glen Johnson/Martin Kelly situation is worth monitoring here though – should Johnson’s injury see him sidelined for a number of weeks, Kelly’s potential, at 5.2 in the FPL, could rival Skrtel on our Watchlists.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto is back on the radar ahead of a run of favourable opponents which should see him supplement assist potential with a clean sheet or two. Steven Caulker, Stephen Kelly and Gareth McAuley then rank next – all offering outstanding value coverage for the Swansea, Fulham and West Brom defences.
City’s defence has seen a decline over the past week or so, hindered by injuries to both Vincent Kompany and Joleon Lescott. That leaves Micah Richards as the most likely name right now – even he could be under threat once again once Pablo Zabaleta returns to fitness. Suddenly, from being prime stock, the City defence is now in flux with a rough run of fixtures and insecurity playing their part. There looks to be better value elsewhere.
Midfielders
Gareth Bale holds the top spot – but only on the promise of delivering returns over a favourable run of opponents. He’s now under severe threat from both United’s Ashley Young and Arsenal’s Theo Walcott.
Both have very strong form going forward, with the fixtues to translate that into returns. The pair also play second fiddle to heavy-hitting strikers and are therefore “double-up” options respectively. Few Fantasy managers will be concerned by that – both Arsenal and United look good for goals and we could see many squads adopt the duo in the coming weeks. While Young has the edge with a better short-term fixture, Walcott offers greater security and is also cheaper at 8.9. Long-term, then, the Arsenal man could be set for a jump above Young, particularly once the tricky trip to Everton is out of the way.
Clint Dempsey is clinging to a top five ranking – based mainly on favourable home fixtures. He’ll likely need to deliver against Swansea to stave off FPL sales, although with Norwich and Bolton also in the frame in the next four Gameweeks, patience appears to be the best policy.
West Brom’s James Morrison and Bolton’s Ryo Miyaichi – both with fixtures and form in their favour, are your budget option differentials available to shake things up. Newcastle’s Hatem Ben Arfa is also an intriguing option. He could be set for a run of starts following his goal at the Emirates – particularly if Ryan Taylor’s calf injury keeps him out for a number of weeks.
Forwards
Both Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney look rock solid at the top of the rankings – positions that they could well hold from now until the end of the season. Their form and fixtures could potentially mean that most Fantasy managers are looking to fill just one slot in their forward line – with budget likely to be the deciding factor.
Tottenham’s Emmanuel Adebayor looks to have fixtures on his side and could be the on the cusp of another spurt of profit. West Brom’s Peter Odemwingie is our favoured option further down the price brackets, with City’s Mario Balotelli, stepping over team-mate Sergio Aguero to offer a cheaper route into City’s attacking potential.
Down in the budget market, Norwich City’s Grant Holt and the Blackburn pairing of Yakubu and Junior Hoilett remain decent options. Although with a tag of 6.4, Fulham’s Pavel Pogrebnyak looks to offer the stronger value and will likely be the option of choice, with tempting Craven Cottage fixtures ahead.

March 14 at 10:58 pm

March 14 at 10:58 pm
EpicFAIL - Sporting Lisbon <3 says:
Yeah I reckon he will. Or at least I think there’s a good chance. We need goals from somewhere and he’s up there with Villa’s best chance of scoring right now.
Having said that, sometimes McLeish’s choices are rather questionable, so it wont surprise me if something completely different happens.
March 14 at 11:00 pm
Declan says:
Thanks mate, I’ll stick with my plan and keep him.
March 14 at 10:55 pm
Manamongst says:
He did look like an idiot. In all fairness the most blatant one (the one where space ghost punches him in the eye) looked to be one to keep himself from being booked. He did sell it like Denzel though.

Evening gents.
Hope all is well.
Question.
Do I drop Ba or Suarez for Rooney.
I’m really leaning on keeping Suarez but the Newcastle fixture against Norwich is tempting.
On the flip side, Liverpool’s fixtures are decent.
Also – is Roo drop a price rise soon?
I really want to avoid making the transfer until tomorrows game but I will need to take a hit if he goes up 0.1
Thanks.
March 14 at 10:59 pm
Hutton dressed as Lahm says:
I dropped Ba. Norwich are actually not bad, ie don’t concede many, and Cisse will steal his goals too.
Suarez v Wigans back three though is too tempting
March 14 at 11:01 pm
Tin of Directors says:
Know anything about a potential Roo price rise?
March 14 at 11:24 pm
Yes the Sess! says:
Going up tonight
March 14 at 11:11 pm

Rooney is a machine. Get him now for Ba. Suarez is looking good for the next couple of matches.

Now back to the conspiracy... says:
Guys what do you think
Krul
Kaboul Enrique Evans Richards
Dempsey Bale N’Zogbia
Suarez Rooney RVP
Mignolet McLean Senderos Taarabt (1.3 in the bank, 1FT)
Save the transfer? Get rid of Taarabt for Sigurdsson, Morrison, Andrews and play them instead of Enrique? Lose Richards for Evra? What do you think.
March 14 at 10:57 pm

Save it imo
March 14 at 11:01 pm

Brilliant team for this week. Save the transfer.

Ok i’ll be boring and save it. Cheers boys.
March 14 at 11:05 pm
Manamongst says:
McClean to Miyachi and/or Taarabt to Sig. Can’t see Villa scoring many goals either…Zogs to Andrews/Morrison(WBA) wouldn’t be bad at all.

Now back to the conspiracy... says:
Zog is going next week for Valencia or Rosicky.

Funny how Andrews suddenly is in fantasy contention. I never thought that day would come. Heck I have even thought about it.

give McClean a run out over Richards IMO. Chelsea will score.

Yeah i probably will. I still don’t rate him though.
March 14 at 11:20 pm

Same. I’m not sure whether to bring him in instead of Adebayor.
March 14 at 11:02 pm

March 14 at 11:07 pm

I wouldn’t be bringing Bale or Ade in, they are stuck on stupid as of late and I’m steering clear of them and Newcastle (Sunderland as well) for a while. I’ll get Tevez before Ade.

Drogba was immense today. One silly little moment of madness with a phantom elbow and everyone’s a hater. He’s cleaned up his act regarding diving; he was much worse.. Yet he is still tarred with the same brush by haters. Get over it, you’d love him in your team, and he’d fit into any premiership side.

4vetti - i Rossoneri! il Diavolo! says:
A little conroversial, but I’m getting the feeling that there is acceptable cheating (diving, pretending to be hit in the face etc. e.g. Drogs) and unacceptable cheating e.g. Suarez.
Views?

You are a Liverpudlian. No views.
March 14 at 11:03 pm
chazza of shamrock says:
Cheating is unacceptable, especially in games of such importance. Diving and pretending to be hit in the face i.e. falsely winning a free-kick/pen could be critical- unfairly, not to mention how stupid Drogba looks when he does that and it’s such a bad message to send out to children.
March 14 at 11:03 pm
Bad Pen says:
I don’t find any of it to be acceptable personally, but I accept the fact that it is now part of the game and all teams do it. No use denying it.

G-G-Granville says:
Easy to explain, depends on who you support.
March 14 at 11:07 pm
4vetti - i Rossoneri! il Diavolo! says:
I disagree, Granville. I have been disgusted and embarrassed by Suarez’s antics but Drogs is called a “hero” by some on here tonight. It all seems so very hypocritical.
March 14 at 11:10 pm
G-G-Granville says:
That’s because you have a conscience. I’ve spoken to Liverpool fans who insist he does nothing wrong.
I utterly hated it when Ronaldo was diving when playing for us. He did cut most of it out eventually mind you.
March 14 at 11:13 pm
4vetti - i Rossoneri! il Diavolo! says:
I guess I’m just a little surprised at some fans lauding Drogs but also wanting to kill Suarez. It makes little sense to me.
Cheers anyway
March 14 at 11:16 pm
Chris_Oblivion says:
There’s a difference between someone who put in a great performance for his team in a vital champions league game but forgetting all of that and reprimanding him for one dive, than not liking someone for being a racist.

Cheating isn’t acceptable, but it’s understandable.
Just imagine yourself in a world cup final, it might be your only chance at winning the world cup. Would you deny yourself the trophy because of morals? Or would you purposely sneak a handball or a quick dive to help your team to victory?
March 14 at 11:10 pm
4vetti - i Rossoneri! il Diavolo! says:
I’m with you on that but how come some chaeting is acceptable but others greeted by a lynch mob. I feel it’s the fans who have to reflect on their morals.
March 14 at 11:16 pm
Pasqualinho says:
It will go on until the laws change. We all saw it – Chelsea fans saw it, Sepp Blatter saw it. But will Drogba be punished? Nope – and that’s why he (and Gerrard and Lampard and Suarez and Iniesta and all the others) do it. And you can’t really blame them. But it’ll only stop when FIFA/UEFA say it’s punishable after the event. Expecting the ref to see it going on makes their job much harder – let the video ref/citing committee (whatever you want to call it) take care of it and it will stop. But I think the powers that be accept that conning the ref is part of the game.
March 14 at 11:17 pm
Chris_Oblivion says:

March 14 at 11:20 pm
EpicFAIL - Sporting Lisbon <3 says:
I totally agree with you. I’m talking from a players and/or fans perspective. If they punished players retrospectivally then we probably wouldn’t even need to have this conversation, but until then, they may aswell carry on trying to do whatever they can do to help their team win. It’s a dog eat dog world.

FISO recalculated Valencia’s target NTI this morning when his flag turned from red to yellow, and so his percentage suddenly jumped from -61% to -119%. But his net NTI today is in fact positive (+14) i.e. more people have bought him than sold him.

Can anyone tell me if it was a case of Chelsea playing really well or Napoli playing really badly? Or both?
March 14 at 11:04 pm

Chelsea deserve credit, Napoli weren’t at their best but that was because of Chelsea not allowing them to be.

great game worth the highlights. should have been more goals. chelsea deserved to go through
March 14 at 11:04 pm
Goaltastic says:
Chelsea looked pretty good, took their chances and restricted a oretty nifty looking Napoli’s chances. Good value.
March 14 at 11:05 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo says:
Napoli can’t defend very well. It was the Morgan De Sanctis show at the back but Chelsea raised their game and the big guns all performed on the night. Napoli were always looking lively going forward but the Chelsea defence were on top form.
March 14 at 11:03 pm
Goaltastic says:
Okay, been looking at my team, and not really sure what I can realistically do to improve over the coming weeks…
Krul/Vorm
Clichy/Skrtel/Jevans/Shotton/Bosingwa
Bale/Valencia/Siggy/Yaya/Sess
Rooney/Persie/Ba
Suggestions welcome. The only one on my watchlist at the minute is Adebayor for Ba.
March 14 at 11:07 pm
Mac says:
Bosingwa would be a major concern for me – I’d swap for Kaboul. I’d also downgrade Clichy to Caulker or upgrade him to Kompany when he returns and then balance that out with one of Sess/Yaya
March 14 at 11:09 pm
Goaltastic says:
I’d be loathed to upgrade my defence, as I nearly always play three at the back – defenders are so boring donchathink?
March 14 at 11:11 pm
Mac says:
Go uber cheap and indulge your pleasures up top then. Skrtel, Jevans and one of Shotton/Kelly/Caulker/McCauley will do you for the rest of the season and gives you and extra 3 million quid.
March 14 at 11:10 pm
TheRedFeathers says:
So it’s time to get rid of Lindegaard to make room for a 3rd man U player. It leaves me with 4.4mil.
I’ve been happy playing Vorm every week until now so bogdan would give me some extra cash however mignolet is clearly going to get more clean sheets.
The question is bogdan or mignolet?
March 14 at 11:17 pm
Hatliz says:
Bogdan for the money and he could get a DGW where you’ll get 2x 1 pt
March 14 at 11:19 pm
TheRedFeathers says:
Haha
Also removes the selection headache.
March 14 at 11:18 pm
jkisthe1 - Hola Los Colchoneros says:
If you’re happy playing Vorm every week then just get Tremell. If you want a keeper to rotate with Vorm then get Bogdan, Mignolet and Vorm have no rotation.
March 14 at 11:23 pm
TheRedFeathers says:
Cheers, looking like Bogdan is the answer.
March 14 at 11:10 pm
Tin of Directors says:
Sorry to repost but only 1 answer above.
Do I drop Ba or Suarez for Rooney.
I’m really leaning on keeping Suarez but the Newcastle fixture against Norwich is tempting.
On the flip side, Liverpool’s fixtures are decent.
Also – is Roo drop a price rise soon?
I really want to avoid making the transfer until tomorrows game but I will need to take a hit if he goes up 0.1
Thanks.

I’d drop Ba – fixtures falling for Liverpool, and they may hit a bit of form, whereas Ba looked, to coina phrase, knackered last time out, needs a rest IMO.

anyone out there bored enough to give me some feedback for my team for this week. tips on my best back 4 would be greatly appreciated. im thinking of fielding
Krul (Reina)
Skrtel,, Senderos, Evans, King, (Simpson)
Gerrard. Dempsey, Valencia. (Siggy, Oxlade)
Van Persie Pog (v/c) Rooney (C)
is it best to go 2 Newcastle def’s at home to Norwich, or 2 Liverpool away to QPR, as you can see i’m thinking of sharing the love as it is just now. Cheers

Great side…I’d like to play Simpson but I can’t see who he can replace!
March 14 at 11:21 pm
GREENDREAMS11 says:
Thanks for the feedback Dog. I’m thinking Skrtel more of a threat than Simpson but worried that either Bobby Z or Cisse might score against the Pool.

Ok – sorry, you have got me – bad news, I know.
You will have a problem with who’s at Home. I think that boat needs some Caulker, say, for Simpson. Imo, obviously.
March 14 at 11:22 pm
GREENDREAMS11 says:
lol. all advice is appreciated. even you Doos ;P
March 14 at 11:24 pm
GREENDREAMS11 says:
Caulker is looking very good, i am tempted. Just not sure I would play him away from home though

McAuley or Ridgewell?

Question for people still with a wildcard… When are you planning on using it?
March 14 at 11:13 pm
Tiki-Taka says:
who to bench for the upcoming GW? currently my starting XI looks like:
Bogdan
Enrique / Kelly(fulham) / Evans / Richards
Dempsey / Silva / Moses
RVP / Rooney(c) / Suarez
Sorensen / Rosicky / O’hara / Santon
Santon being subbed off at half time past few GW’s has me concerned thats why hes last sub, and I’m expecting Arsenal to struggle at Everton hence Rosicky benched, O’Hara im not confident vs Manu tbh and Sorensen is simple cos he doesnt play.
March 14 at 11:17 pm
dogtanion says:
Perfect..leave as it is. If Santon was definite to start then I would but hard to know
March 14 at 11:14 pm
Eddie says:
Out Ba in Drogs – Forwards will read RVP – Suarez and Drogs. No that’s not right. I need another diver for RVP to get the balance right !!!

jkisthe1 - Hola Los Colchoneros says:
ok new plan.
GW31 Young
Valencia and Taiwo 
Ridgwell
GW32 Ba
Drogba and Santon 
Huth/Kaboul (-4)
March 14 at 11:19 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo says:
Robert Huth back on the menu. Fixtures pick up then I guess. He is long overdue a headed goal.
March 14 at 11:20 pm
jkisthe1 - Hola Los Colchoneros says:
or a free kick powered in.
March 14 at 11:20 pm
Eddie says:
Good move getting the Drogs in. It looks like I’m joking with my post above but Drogs is definitely in my plans – 2% ownership and 10.1 has got to be a +

Do we do it now, or next week?
March 14 at 11:24 pm
jkisthe1 - Hola Los Colchoneros says:
wait and see what the games bring, think it’s still too early (plus i can afford him just yet) GW32 at home to Wigan is the time.
March 14 at 11:27 pm
Doosra - Αθλητική Ένωσις Κωνσταντινουπόλεως - 1924 says:
Good. I agree. Will get more Spurs.
March 14 at 11:29 pm
jkisthe1 - Hola Los Colchoneros says:
Huth GWs 32, 33 and 34 then Kaboul in.

4vetti - i Rossoneri! il Diavolo! says:
I asked this earlier this afternoon but would prefer the drunk mob’s reply
2 to bench out of Richards, Squirts, Jevans, Riise, Santon & Ryo.
Have Schwarzer in goal.
Cheers.
March 14 at 11:19 pm
jkisthe1 - Hola Los Colchoneros says:
Right now Richards and Riise.
March 14 at 11:21 pm

Ryowhatsit and Riise, then.
o Hic! o
March 14 at 11:22 pm
dogtanion says:
Santon and Ryo. I fancy a Richards cleanie in a tight game.
March 14 at 11:22 pm
Chris_White says:
Richards & Ryo, imo.

4vetti - i Rossoneri! il Diavolo! says:
Heh… cheers guys, there is no consensus as yet. I’ll see what tomorrow brings. Thanx again.

Suarez-Rooney done. My favourite transfer this season. Sure to end in tears. Of Joy! Or sorrow. Whatever.

Joy, Holy One, joy… it is what you bring.

Suarez actually has a negative NTI of 1000 after scoring 12pts the previous week
I guess everyone’s doing the same move you are, glad I got both last week

Must be pretty embarrassing for Di Matteo acting as a puppet for Terry and co, funny how they wouldn’t try a leg for AVB

MAD says:
Cech and Lampard wouldn’t be starting for that team if they didn’t have that power in the locker-room. They’ve both been poor the last two seasons… say what you want, but thems are the facts.

Brookins says:
94 points without Messi, can’t complain.
March 14 at 11:22 pm
Tin of Directors says:
Another question.
Would you take a 4pt hit for Gerrard (thinking about dumping Silva)
Chasing a 61 pt deficit.
March 14 at 11:24 pm
MAD says:
No, Gerrard won’t be playing Everton every week and he has an FA Cup game after the deadline this week. Silva is a big game player and I can see goals in the Chelsea game midweek.
