Monitor – Gareth Bale

2,051 Comments
Share

With Eden Hazard flourishing and attracting huge Fantasy investment, Tottenham’s Gareth Bale is already in danger of becoming a forgotten man just a couple of Gameweeks into the season. The Welshman returned double figures for both goals and assists last term and began the season hotly tipped to contest the top position in the midfield rankings. However, already we’re seeing Fantasy managers lose faith, no doubt shifting allegiance to Chelsea’s Belgian.

The arrival of Andre Villas-Boas has, to this point, failed to spark Spurs and Bale has epitomised their slow start to the season. With a hefty price tag around his neck, it’s clear that Fantasy managers cannot sit still on an ailing heavy-hitter but are the doubters right to shed Bale and move on?

In this latest article for members, we examine Bale’s numbers so far, assessing the averages gathered to this point in comparison to last season’s data in attempt to assess how the arrival of Villas-Boas has affected his form and his potential to deliver Fantasy returns.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    My back 6:
    ddg
    hangeland kaboul cole (clyne gorkss)

    I have used my FT but thinking of doing another one (by taking a hit) to get rid of cole and a get a defender upto 5.5 which will allow me to do nasri to hazard in gw4. so
    1) is it worth it? coz i normally dont like to take a hit for a defender
    2) who is the best defender upto 5.5? rangel or rafael?

      If it lets us get someone a bit more all-round might be OK, but Gus is looking to strengthen us up front. I don't see him being keen unless he already has another lined up due to the time factor.

    Fee agreed with Pablo (£5.5m) but not all signed yet. He is on his way to Swansea.

          Could be worth sticking on the old watchlist then. Laudrup is all about the goals

      Any chance he could be 5.5 on fpl too? I am guessing 6.5.

    This weekend will be Bale's last chance saloon. If he can't do anything against Norwich at home hes getting the boot.

      And if he performs, then I'll have to wait until GW5 for Hazard..

        I wouldn't mind waiting at all if there wasn't another 0,3 on his price then.
