Watchlist

The Watchlist – Jobi McAnuff

In the search for attacking points at a bargain basement price, savvy Fantasy managers need to look for the unlikeliest of players in the most improbable of places. At first glance, perhaps, Reading’s Jobi McAnuff, the 31-year journeyman midfielder with just one international cap to his name for Jamaica, represents a ludicrous route to Fantasy football glory.

Dig deeper, however, and he emerges as not only a solid Fantasy prospect but a possible contender for bargain of the season. Those eagle-eyed Fantasy managers who have already taken a close look at the assists table will have seen that McAnuff nestles in joint third place with Juan Mata on five, just behind Eden Hazard and Carlos Tevez – despite playing for one of the Premier League’s least attacking sides.

This ability to lay on chances for others has been a hallmark of his career, spent largely in the second tier of English football. In Reading’s successful promotion season of 2011/12 he registered 12 assists as well as five goals and, over the previous six seasons, where he also played for Championship stalwarts Watford and Crystal Palace, McAnuff amassed a total of 48 assists.

Aside from his clear attacking potential, a favourable run of fixtures over the next five Gameweeks (qpr, NOR, EVE, wig, avl) have propelled the Royals winger onto our newly-updated Watchlist rankings. Price is another factor. In the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, McAnuff started at 5.5 but is now available at just 5.1, with an ownership of 1% making him a standout selection among the game’s differentials. In the Sky Sports game he is priced similarly (5.0) but only 0.3% of managers have noticed that he has now amassed 38 points, four more than Steven Pienaar and five more than Hatem Ben Arfa, who is owned by a quarter of Sky players.

With 31 points in the FPL game he is Reading’s most impressive Fantasy performer so far and has accrued the same number of points as the similarly priced Raheem Sterling, for example, though investing in McAnuff comes with a slight health warning. As shown by Tuesday’s Capital One Cup clash with Arsenal, clean sheet points are certainly unlikely for McAnuff, as Reading have conceded in every game so far this campaign. In addition, McDermott’s men have only mustered 11 goals so far, notching four on the road, meaning McAnuff’s team mates will need to step up their game if the wide man’s creative endeavours are to be further realised.

While the 7-5 home cup defeat by Arsenal last Tuesday may have felt like “a funeral” according to the Reading manager, the signs are positive that the team will improve and gather more attacking returns over their forthcoming kind run of fixtures, though. McDermott has moved away from a more cautious 4-4-1-1 in recent games, with a shift in formation to 4-4-2 in three of the last four Gameweeks producing seven goals. If Reading can pick their chins off the floor after the midweek Madejski defeat, the short-term at least looks potentially prosperous for McAnuff’s possible suitors.

      How does getting Bale ruin your defence?

      Just get Bale in and figure out a transfer or to to fix your defence next week.

      Pienaar is pounching above his weight in my opinion. As for Lennon, no way

    Thoughts on Oscar as a 3rd/4th mid, not instead of Mata but alongside him?

    Unlucky not to score more points so far, lots of upside for his cost and plays pretty high up the pitch. Not scared to shoot and does not compare badly with his peers at Chelsea. Clearly Mata is the pick of the midfield, but Oscar ain't half bad either. Surprised to see him play so often, but if he continues to do so, well he has showed what he can do in the Champs league.

    To give a simple comparison, look at him and the popular Barfa, they aren't too far apart in stats with Oscar playing much less minutes.

    He is young and the not the full deal yet, but he might just be a nice little risk if you fancy Chelsea to continue doing well in the league.

    What are peoples opinions on Walcott now after his hat-trick in league cup and giroud struggling for goals - will walcott get a chance as the main striker? I think he could be the main explosive points scorer in that arsenal team with cazorla a more steady and consistent points type of player.

      Look at RVP's fixtures after Arsenal. Come back and tell me you don't want him.

      Nice keepers
      Good defence although it could be argued you have too much money in it with 3 4.5m players fighting for one spot.
      Midfield is fantastic. Sterling/McAnuff over Maloney though
      Forwards are weak. Berbatov has tough fixtures and Defoe is at risk of rotation.

        RVP always looks good, still debating him, its all about that captaincy, cause for cost he ain't brilliant.

        You may have a point about that defense, allot of money in those last 3 spots.

        Defoe has had the risk of rotation for a while now, one of those things I guess you have to live with. When he plays, he brings back the bacon.

          Sterling and Maolney rotate pretty well too, assuming you'll sub one of them every week.
          I really think Michu, RVP and Sterling/Maloney will outscore Caz, Defoe and Oscar every week!
          Plus you have the RVP captaincy option which is gonna double your delight most weeks.

          But I think every team has a doppleganger in this game. It dont matter tho, every team be different again in 2 weeks 🙂
