Sky Sports Focus

Our Sky Sports Fantasy Football community come into focus on Fridays, having given the Fantasy Premier League frontrunners some oxygen way back when Gameweek 7 came to a close – a distant memory. As always, we focus on the top of the Scout League, track the latest movements in the Sky Sports transfer market and check on Fenners and Merse before tonight’s Fantasy Football Club episode…

The Scout League

There’s movement on top of the Scout League, with Jonathan Lenharth toppling long-time leader, Paul Hennessy, to nudge back to the summit. Jonathan’s “BetterThanLastYear” lineup nicks the lead by six points with a total of 488 points. That’s enough to place him in eighth place overall, a full 28 points behind the leader in the race for the 25k top prize.

Ben Salter is settled in third place in the Scout League, with Gary Paterson and Chris Tuck breathing down his neck. Scout contributor Andy has slipped to 24th spot in the league – a decline, but still a fine showing.

Fantasy Football Scout’s top five still sits comfortably on top of the Private League leaderboard – with a ten point gap on the league in second.

Market Forces

Santi Cazorla was the apple of our eye in this week’s ScoutCast and, it seems, our enthusiasm has leaked across into the Sky Sports transfer market. Arsenal’s Spaniard has been the most popular target over the international break, claiming over 6% of the transfers in since Gameweek 7 drew to a close. His goal and a third man of the match award of the season at West Ham, no doubt whipping up the enthusiasm for a player who looks well placed to reward investment for a modest fee of 6.7 in this game. Cazorla is now in the top five most owned players, with over 26% of managers acquiring his services.

Cazorla’s team-mate, Carl Jenkinson, goes on attracting suitors who are either oblivious to the threat of Bacary Sagna or confident that the young full-back will retain his start in the coming weeks. Jenkinson ranks second for “transfers in” this week with Chelsea pairing Branislav Ivanovic and Petr Cech coming next. With Leighton Baines in fifth, it’s significant that four of the top five targets this week are defenders – a reflection of the value they are currently offering in this game.

At the other end of the market, Carlos Tevez continues to top the transfers out as frustration builds on his recent rotation and lack of returns, although he is clinging to a 24% ownership, second only to Robin Van Persie who has amassed 38% coverage amongst the forwards.

Fantasy Football Club

Out of position Fantasy Football hero, Ryan Taylor, shimmies into the studio with Fenners and Merse ahead of Sunday’s Tyne-Wear derby for tonight’s episode of the Fantasy Football Club. You can clock in from 10pm tonight and look out for the ITK’s tips for the weekend.

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

    Concerned about injuries, should I transfer any of these defenders out for a hit:

    Gibbs/Demel/Saylor/Ridgewell (Baines)

    Or if not which two should I play from above!

      is Ridgewell fit? if not, Rigwell to Rafael.

    Hi guys, if you wouldn't mind I really, really could use some opinions on something I'm contemplating this week.....

    2 FT...

    RVP > Podolski
    Lambert > Berbatov

    Those transfers would then enable me to do a straight swap next week of Michu > Bale.

    Am I mad to be considering selling RVP this week?

    The general consensus on Reading forums is that Guthrie will return to the side eventually. With plans to get Berbatov/Mata in + Sterling rising to about 0.7ish more expensive this would be a pleasant surprise.

          That's what Guthrie said, but there were rumours about it being because of a Twitter rant.
          Either way, I personally expected him to be back (given the 2 week break) so went onto their forum and thought I'd share this.

    I've looked at every available stat, studied video footage, and looked at form of both real life football action and their points. I've also looked at away attacking potential, assist potential and goal threat and all roads have lead to the same conclusion

    Haz - Caz (c)

    That's me done for the week. No hits and ready for action.

        Its too soon yet for me to opt for Giroud, but I agree he's getting better and finding more dangerous positions. With rotation though and the attackers at Arsenal finding their feet there's still not enough to go on.

          Just a gut feeling Suarez is in for a big game again, and something about Cazorla makes me think he's a little bit of a points dodger so reluctant to captain him. But the stats may change my mind!

      Very good but not sold on Giroud - You also have no City or Chelsea players which is potentially a worry (even if the latter don't have great fixtures).

      Looking at your whole team I'd be inclined to do Pienaar to Nolan or Morrison and Giroud to Tevez if you can afford it.
