Moneyball – Jason Puncheon
Filed under: Members - Posted by: Chris Glover
This series has generally been engaged in looking for the “next prospect”, the unheralded and the unfashionable. This week, we’re going to go in a slightly different direction and re-examine someone who was first mentioned in these pages back in Gameweek 6, after which he was promptly benched to seemingly slip back into obscurity. As last weekend’s performance at QPR demonstrated, however, the underlying potential of Jason Puncheon was never in doubt: pitch-time looks to be the key factor in his prosperity as a Fantasy asset.

I think I would like to see one or two more consistent games from Puncheon before I invest.

At £4.5m, maybe invest is the wrong word! Commit.

November 23 at 5:36 pm
thetinkerman says:
I’m not sold on Valencia’s merits this season I’m afraid. The raw goal threat of Fellaini is surely too much to ignore and one of Rooney/RVP is the best route into Utd attack IMO. I think people may regret selling Fellaini as well. If you have a decent bench player, I’d hold tight.
November 23 at 5:37 pm
Evs says:
Sterling is my bench player.
This weeks mf…
Sterling, bale, Michu, Nolan (Felliani)
WHM have awful run of games ahead… Wish I could do straight Nolan to Valencia upgrade but a little shy on the £s
November 23 at 5:44 pm
thetinkerman says:
I’d save the transfer myself if there are no other pressing issues. I still think Nolan is an seasoned enough PL player to be able to offer goal threat regardless of the opponent.
If you’re still not happy next week maybe downgrade elsewhere and upgrade Nolan.
November 23 at 5:30 pm
JohnnyRev7.0 says:
Have to switch to 4 at the back this GW with Fellaini and Guthrie red-flagged.

Begovic
Rafael , baines v , huth
Sess , Carzorla , Maloney , Walcott
Ba , RVP c , Tevez
Bench sterling,Clyne,Gunter
Sterling plays for Theo I I guess
Had to take 4 pt hit this week ,but looks ok right ?
November 23 at 5:34 pm
ZaKNaFeiN says:
Seems alright
November 23 at 5:31 pm
Bemba Da says:
Will monitor him v newcastle, if he does well might consider bringing him in for maloney
November 23 at 5:32 pm

Very hopeful of Maloney this week
November 23 at 5:32 pm
Evs says:
Good call.
November 23 at 5:31 pm
Ⓕⓘⓝⓐⓛ Ⓕⓛⓐⓢⓗ says:
need more opinions on this:
i’m looking to get in arsenal or city coverage. i’m looking at doing either maloney -> walcott or berba ->aguero. i’m leaning towards the walcott trade since arsenal’s fixtures are alot easier, and berba is still good value and in good form. what do you think?
November 23 at 5:32 pm
Bemba Da says:
walcott is injured
November 23 at 5:35 pm
Ⓕⓘⓝⓐⓛ Ⓕⓛⓐⓢⓗ says:
i forgot the mention this transfer is for next week. hopefully we know more about his injury by then. though he’s expected to be back for the midweek game in gw 14.
November 23 at 5:33 pm
In Tommy We Trust says:
Anyway to get Silva as City coverage?
November 23 at 5:37 pm
Ⓕⓘⓝⓐⓛ Ⓕⓛⓐⓢⓗ says:
i could have if i opted for gorkss instead of cuellar. but looking at their fixtures of cuellar, gorkss, silva and walcott, i decided that cuellar and walcott would be the best move. but i just found out i could get aguero if i lost berba, although i’m not too keen on this
November 23 at 5:32 pm
Kamikaze says:
2 FT, 0.1 in the bank.
Begovic Tremmel
Baines Cuellar McCartney Gorkss Williamson
Bale Mata Fellaini Michu Maloney
RVP Tevez Ba
Anything to do?
November 23 at 5:33 pm
Jubilanus says:
Valencia or Bale?
Bale seems sensible option, but can see UTD destroying QPR tomorrow.
November 23 at 5:34 pm
fredwestham says:
Bale
November 23 at 5:35 pm
Leaf says:
I’d say Bale , fixtures get so good in a few weeks he will be essential
November 23 at 5:37 pm
thetinkerman says:
Bale for me. I don’t think they’re comparable. You could argue that Valencia has the better assist threat but he has nowhere near the same goal threat as Bale.
November 23 at 5:42 pm
Jubilanus says:
yeah you are right.
Just tempting to try and be the guy who got Valencia the week he went loco!
November 23 at 5:45 pm
thetinkerman says:
Do you want to be the guy who sold Bale the week when he went loco though?

+1. I’m not sure how’s he’s managed it, but now i’m starting to think Rooney is a viable RVP alternative
November 23 at 5:38 pm
thetinkerman says:
Perhaps because he is!
RVP has dominated up to now and Rooney has become unfashionable. The reason you’re doubting yourself is because no-one has been talking about him probably.
November 23 at 5:42 pm

Santiagounreal - proud owner of garrido says:
I think he is too. Just doesn’t come with that added ‘when in doubt captain the dutchess of scoring when he wants’ factor
November 23 at 5:41 pm
Jonny says:
After last weekend I’m starting to think that could be a good thing – didn’t even consider Tevez, which in retrospect was pretty stupid. Does having RVP make you overlook other, better captaincy options?
November 23 at 5:43 pm
Twisted Saltergater says:
It does. Definitely. It’s the fear factor of him exploding.
November 23 at 5:46 pm
Santiagounreal - proud owner of garrido says:
Definitely, especially because of his price tag. It’s unfortunate for Tevez owners like yourself that he hadn’t done anything in 2 games…which made your faith in captaining him non-existent perhaps. Look on the brightside, at least you got the 19 points!
November 23 at 5:49 pm
Jonny says:
I can’t see the brightside I’m afraid, my main rival and my H2H opponent both captained Suarez. I was in a deep state of despair all weekend.
November 23 at 5:47 pm
thetinkerman says:
I don’t know. I captain Berba last weekend and (VC) RVP. Turns out they were the only two players in my attack to draw blanks! D’oh.
November 23 at 5:48 pm

Been without RVP since gameweek 7 and although its not really bitten me just yet the wife has to do 1 Extra washload on a Saturday now. :p

Seems like a very sensible one, especially if you have Michu/Suarez/Fellaini bans to cover.

Just Michu hanging around for me….definitely sensible, but this article offers hope that it could be exciting too!

My transfer too this week. I was so pleased to get rid of Guthrie, and plan on playing Puncheon
November 23 at 5:42 pm
Snake Juice says:
Puncheon is the only viable way out from Guthrie atm. Did the transfer this week as well. Punch could come in handy when Michu gets his 5th yellow.
November 23 at 5:45 pm
Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgrim says:
Agree, had no exit from Guthrie until Puncheon. Good fixtures for saints too, gives me renewed interest after I stupidly sold lambert.
November 23 at 5:47 pm

Agreed; the next 4 fixtures for Soton look promising.

ManTree(v2!) or just JAY! says:
Hey folks
I have 2 FT and £1.5m in the bank.
Foster, Begovic
Baines, Davies, Demel, Cuellar, Gorkks
Nolan, Michu, Bale, Fellaini, Sterling
Ba, RVP, Aguero
Pick one of these:
1. Foster and Davies out for Ruddy and Jose Enrique.
2. Foster to Ruddy to free up funds and save FT.
3. Foster to Mignolet and save FT
Thoughts please?!
Thank you!!

keep berba, he’s class
November 23 at 5:38 pm
greggles says:
i know, that’s why i’m holding off… I’m definitely doing McAuley > Cuellar, and then it’s up for grabs whether Nolan gets the chop for Puncheon or Berba for Giroud…
November 23 at 5:41 pm
thetinkerman says:
There’s no way I’d do Berba > Giroud personally. Don’t forget it’s only Giroud’s first season and he might not be able to keep up this consistency.
McCauley > Cuellar seems sensible
November 23 at 5:45 pm
greggles says:
Thanks for your advice. Would you ditch Nolan at this point, and if so, for whom?
November 23 at 5:51 pm
thetinkerman says:
Not sure. I have a feeling that Nolan/West Ham won’t be too fussed about playing ‘big’ teams and will still offer some value. If I had him I’d still be tempted to sell for the right player. Not sure who that would be sorry!

If one day Guthrie will be able to play again, does he has a chance to appear in the starting 11? Or will he be bench fodder for Reading like he is for me? I don’t need him until gw19.

November 23 at 5:41 pm
The Viper says:
Team for the weekend:
Jaask
Baines Cameron Cuellar
Bale Cazorla (vc) Sterling Michu
RVP(c) Berba Tevez
Fed; Ridgewell, Demel, Fellaini
I have 2 free tranfers, nothing obvious to do so i’m gonna go for Demel -> Davies/Clyne and save the other transfer, any suggestions?
November 23 at 5:45 pm
Twisted Saltergater says:
Great team, Viper. Get rid of Cazorla
I like the Demel to Davies given that Southampton miss a game in GW18, i think.
November 23 at 5:47 pm
The Viper says:
Cazorla is staying put, we’ve been through this
Yeah, i’m thinking Davies purely because Swansea are a much better team than Southampton..
Cazorla -> Walcott in a couple weeks could be on the cards. It will be a move that involves Tevez -> Suarez most likely..
November 23 at 5:47 pm
evilfuk says:
billy jones or wisdom probably better options in the budget range, as is michael turner (possibly injured for this week)

Gazza2000 says:
Bale, Ba, Suarez, team is linked
November 23 at 5:48 pm
Snake Juice says:
Take a chance with Bale.
November 23 at 5:56 pm
Gazza2000 says:
Last 2 times I did that he gave me 4 points in return, lost a bit of faith I guess…
November 23 at 5:53 pm
thetinkerman says:
I like Bale Ba Suarez in that order, but there’s probably not much in it.
The reason I chose Bale over Ba is due to Newcastle’s injury ‘crisis’
November 23 at 6:02 pm
Gazza2000 says:
yeah, my first thought was Ba as well, but the injuries made me hesitate..
What about Baines ? I know the “Baines rule” but it could work out well this time…

Cazorla or Bale are decent options imo..

playing deep, persie is the clearly the guy to have but we all know he is one of those explosive players a score of 15 wouldnt really suprese anyone would it
November 23 at 5:48 pm
Bemba Da says:
one key thing to note for the next 3 gws is make sure you have a good bench.
If you are making transfers like berbatov to fletcher for example and you have ben arfa and walcott you may want to think twice. Get rid of the injuries and make sure you bring in someone who will play even if they are to be benched.
I expect alot of rotation with 3 games in space of 7 days

OMG!! you feeling ok Bemba? This is really sound advice.

Brian says:
Just saw a stat, but it was not sourced so take it with a pinch of salt.
Apparently, it takes on average 57 crosses to score a goal.
I’m only trudging through this now, but anyone interested in Everton/Baines here is two links.
http://www.shotsontarget.co.uk.....m-and.html
http://theexecutionersbong.wordpress.com/
November 23 at 5:55 pm
Santiagounreal - proud owner of garrido says:
Cheers Brian, Baines still has the second most assists of any defender. And Riise has one more, one of which was a flukey penalty assist. I personally don’t think his average of an assist every 4 games is bad. You can discuss why he hasn’t had more assists but that’s football! They can’t all go in.
November 23 at 6:00 pm
Brian says:
Np. More interesting readings then anything else. The 2nd link has some stuff on why Everton create so much, but score a bit less then you’d expect for the number and how a formation change to Fellaini going into midfield might change things. Could be relevant to Baines potential going forward.
Or just a long (interesting) read on real life tactics
November 23 at 5:55 pm
Brian says:
The 2nd link has posts that pretty much deconstruct the Everton attack and shooting accuracy.
Very interesting.
For the lazy, it is enough to re-ignite some worries about Baines. Basically Everton shoot from every angle in the box, over a quarter of the goals from areas wide of the goal, but in the box. That is..odd.
November 23 at 6:02 pm
thetinkerman says:
That was mentioned in the scoutcast actually (if I remember correctly). It could be that they’re going for a lot of shots on goal rather than trying to walk it in.
I’ve not checked the stats or anything though, purely speculation, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
November 23 at 6:04 pm
Brian says:
http://theexecutionersbong.wor.....-accuracy/
November 23 at 6:11 pm
thetinkerman says:
Nice one.
Not sure where this leaves us really. Are we expecting them to continue getting a lot of shots but converting them at a much lower rate than other teams? As long as they’ve got goals in them, I’m happy owning Everton players.
I wonder how important this is:
“Over a quarter of them (marked with an x) have come from areas wide of the goal (unsurprisingly, the left side). This is very unusual amongst the sides who score a lot of goals.”
Assuming it is true, does it necessarily mean that it’s harder to score goals from crosses from the left side?
November 23 at 6:19 pm
Brian says:
Id expect Jelavic to start converting at his normal rate soon after this slump. Might help a tad, not by great amounts though.
From the other players, Fellaini, Osman and Mirallas, sounds like we can expect more of the same.
If they start creating less chances against the better sides, ill be pretty worried. For now, it is so-so.
Id assume so, if the crosses aren’t hitting a more central area of the box or players are just shooting on sight from every angle (Suarez syndrome last year). It would help explain the Baines question, alongside the poorer conversion rate of the aforementioned players.
Might explain why they aren’t regressing to the mean (in a positive manner).
November 23 at 6:00 pm
thetinkerman says:

Made a mistake with early transfer but was get annoyed with Newcastle’s form as well as HBA who I transferred for Walcott. Will my team do OK? Never played with 3 MID’s before.
Begovic (Federici)
Clyne – Cuellar – Baines – Cameron
Michu – Nolan – Mata (Walcott & Fellaini)
RVP – Tevez – Berbatov

Agree. I wouldn’t want both Mata & Hazard and considering no city cover it would seem a logical move.
