Today’s FPL Player Values
Filed under: Fantasy Football Games - Posted by: Paul
Twelve down and just several hundred to go, then. For the fourth successive day we were handed three more player values from the official Fantasy Premier League (FPL) twitter stream to mull over, with last season’s top scoring midfielder amongst them. Tomorrow, we learn the fate of another trio, including a couple of promoted players, Kevin Nolan and Rickie Lambert…
Clint Dempsey has been handed a valuation of 9.5 for the upcoming campaign. After returning 17 goals, seven assists and 22 FPL bonus points last term, the US international accrued a total of 209 points – leaving Gareth Bale trailing in his wake in the midfield charts by 14 points. The new cost sees Dempsey’s starting value rise by 1.0 from 2011/12 and still looks fairly reasonable for a player who proved a strong captaincy option, with eight double figure returns and a points per game (ppg) average of 5.6 in FPL.
Looking at the other prices so far, this mirrors the price tag of Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, though the Belgian’s classification still remains unclear. The pricing could, perhaps, be a hint towards the rest of the midfield values – last season saw Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard arrive at 12.0 and 11.0 respectively but if Dempsey, as last term’s top scorer, costs 9.5, then it’s feasible that this will be close to the ceiling for midfield prices. In the Sky Sports game, Dempsey is fifth costliest midfielder available – a price of 8.6 is indicative of his exploits last time round, with David Silva the dearest option at 9.0.
Perhaps a little surprisingly, Luis Suarez keeps the same starting price as the previous campaign. Despite a hugely disappointing season, the Uruguayan remains at 9.5 – on a par with Papiss Cisse and more than both Carlos Tevez (9.0) and Nikica Jelavic (8.5). Clearly, FPL reckon he is capable of producing the goods this time round after notching just 136 points from 31 appearances – an average of 4.4 ppg. Bearing in mind that Cisse averaged 7.5 ppg after joining Newcastle in January, a punt on the Magpies forward looks more appealing at that price, though the Brendan Rodgers effect may well see Suarez prosper as a Fantasy force in the season ahead. Sky Sports have also maintained faith is the Liverpool man – Suarez is the fourth most expensive frontman at 9.6, just behind Wayne Rooney (9.8).
Finally today, we learned that Jonathan Walters will come in at 6.5 in FPL next season – crucially, though, we still don’t know if the Stoke player will be listed as a midfielder or forward for the campaign ahead. Although classified as a midfielder last term, Walters started the vast majority of his games up front and, for the first half of the season at least, was a strong out-of-position alternative. Tony Pulis did, however, start him in midfield in nine of the Potters’ fixtures – clearly, the Irishman would receive far more Fantasy interest if he remained a midfielder, though the idea is admittedly unlikely. The Sky Sports game certainly agrees; Walters comes in as a 7.9 priced forward there and, with spot-kicks under his belt, offers a cheaper alternative to Peter Crouch at 8.8 for Pulis’ side.

YAY, can’t wait!

thetinkerman says:
I know it’s totally annoying and not very useful without all the other players, but Nolan and Lambert are actually on quite a lot of people’s watchlists, will be interesting to see how much they’re priced at. Anything less than 6m would be great!
July 15 at 10:10 am
ReinaMan says:
I’m going to guess 6.5m for Nolan and 6m for Lambert

Morning all. last day of my hols today, hopefully I can get up tomorrow and have a shiny new FPL game waiting for me.

Portugal?
Oh, and this: http://www.caughtoffside.com/2.....-berbatov/

don’t understand why we didn’t take 15-20 from PSG when it was on offer

FORCA INTER says:
wow,Berba is such a class,i am interested to see how much he will cost if he sign for QPR
July 15 at 9:59 am
H says:
Hopefully he moves before the game comes out so he’s cheaper
July 15 at 10:00 am
FORCA INTER says:
it would be hard to pick 3rd striker this year
i am going for Adebayour+Rooney and 3rdspot is open for likes of Jelavic,Berba (if he moves and come cheap),Petric,Cisse,Suarez(i’ll get him in after gw 6 anyways)
July 15 at 10:03 am
The Parmtree..... says:
No Aguero for GW1?
July 15 at 10:04 am
FORCA INTER says:
only if tevez/dzeko leave and RVP dont sign
and i rather have Balotelli than aguero to be honest
July 15 at 10:05 am
H says:
It already is and berba will only make it harder. I might go Torres, Tevez and Berba providing tevez is playing and rvp isn’t at city and berba is cheap at qpr. Might wait a bit to see if suarez is better this season under Rodgers
July 15 at 10:09 am
FORCA INTER says:
i am really not sure about Tevez…i think balotelli will get more chanses this year and seems like Mancini likes him
specialy if he will be mature like he been at euro
July 15 at 10:10 am
The Parmtree..... says:
I think i’ll go Aguero and Torres from the start and switch Torrees to Rooney GW2 and go from there.
May end up with Rooney, Adebayor & Berbatov eventually.
July 15 at 10:13 am
FORCA INTER says:
my plan is to switch Torres to adebayour in GW2
looking to end up with Jelavic,Rooney and Adebayour
July 15 at 10:17 am
H says:
I don’t think Jelavic will be worth it this year especially with Evertons usual slow start to the season.

Could be a good buy if he follows Fellini’s example and clean up his act. Not sure he will though.

Ha. I can beat both of you:
GK = Mignolet, Jaaskelainen = 9.5m?
DEF = SWA/FUL/WIG/QPR/CHE ? = 25m
MF = 35.5m
STR = Adebayor/?/? = 30m
Morning btw

I think Dempsey could actually be owned by over 40% of people by the GW1 deadline.

He might well be if he stays at Fulham. Not so sure of that if he goes to Liverpool…
July 15 at 10:10 am
thetinkerman says:
Yeah that’s true. I certainly wouldn’t look at him in that case.

Lanley Staurel says:
Went to the Arsenal and Saints tournament last night. Only Arsenal players of note were Gervinho, Gibbs, Djourou and Lansbury. Gervinho was very lively and scored with Lansbury also picking up one. Saints used most of their squad mixed between both games (Anderlect) were there too and the stand outs for me were Rodriguez (who scored against Arsenal), Fox and De Ridder. Lallana was OK in patches.

What do ppl think the best GK combo will be for under £10.0m?

Mignolet/Vorm?
July 15 at 10:01 am

I’m going for Foster + Given personally….

Felt a bit sorry for Khan last night. His big time is all but over.

JoeySamSam says:
He lost to Garcia I take it then? What about the Haye fight, who won?
July 15 at 10:11 am
The Parmtree..... says:
Haye, round 5 KO (I think)
July 15 at 10:15 am
JoeySamSam says:
Ah good good!
July 15 at 10:14 am
Damo says:
Haye put him down twice int he 5th and it was stopped. I thought it was turning in to a good fight too.
July 15 at 10:16 am
spectrum says:
He is not good enough, got his tactics all wrong after the first knockdown, not fit enough to lace up Mayweather’s boots
July 15 at 10:15 am
FORCA INTER says:
if Baines sign for UTD his price surely has to go down,right?
he wont be so dangerous and he wont be taking penalties
everything over 7-7.5M is overprice
July 15 at 10:16 am
The Parmtree..... says:
Nope, more CS potential + Good FPL History = Overpriced.
July 15 at 10:17 am
spectrum says:
More chance of clean sheets though so could go either way
