Moneyball – Esteban Granero

This is very likely the first and last time a former Real Madrid player graces the pages of the Moneyball series. Esteban Granero made an astonishing 31 appearances in the league in 2009-10 for Los Blancos, more than Guti, Rafael van der Vaart, Kaka and even Cristiano Ronaldo. The arrivals of Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil pushed Granero out of favour in future years, though he still managed to finish his time in Madrid with almost 100 appearances in three seasons before making his way to Loftus Road this season.

Despite that pedigree, his arrival in England barely registered on the transfer radar and he’s hardly captured the collective eye of Fantasy managers – Granero has just a 0.5% ownership in the Fantasy Premier League game, which has risen by just 10,000 or so transfers all year. Given that this is a Moneyball piece, though, we’re not going to settle on a player based on his CV: it’s when we delve into his statistics so far this term that Granero really catches the eye.

      Leave it till next week. There's a decent chance mata will be knackered after travelling to Panama which may affect his minutes.

      well if you haven't got Mata yet then i would keep Hazard for ONLY this week since theres a big chance Mata wouldn't play full 90 mins. and of course if you don't care about the money.

    Bale and Tevez > Fellaini and Suarez
    or
    Bale and Jelavic >Fellaini and Suarez

    or keep Bale and Tevez? I have two freebies, no spare cash, and a rather weak defense, but I really want to get Suarez in for his upcoming fixtures and Bale is so inconsistent, but hard to pass up for those massive hauls...

    Afternoon! My team for the week –

    Frederici (Foster)
    Ivanovic, Baines, Rafael, Cameron (Demel)
    Mata, Yaya, Michu (El Ahmadi, Marveaux)
    RVP, Tevez, Berbatov

    2FT, 0.5 in the bank

    Thinknig of doing Ivan To Cuellar to free up some cash, Yaya to Silva (maybe) and Marveaux to Maloney

    Yay or nay? Any other suggestions? Was thinking of getting rid of Federici but that can wait I think, plus he’s got DGW soon so may just stick with him…
