The Stock Check January 1

The Stock Check – Tuesday – Part Two

Southampton battle for a point at St Mary’s as Theo Walcott endures a frustrating evening on his return to his former stamping ground. Here’s the Stock Check on Saturday’s evening kick-off…

On the Up

Gaston Ramirez
Back in the side having been kept out of the heat of the Britannia battle, the Uruguayan fired home his third goal of the season to give the Saints the advantage. Ramirez has promised much since his arrival, without really catching fire as a Fantasy asset. With Adam Lallana seemingly sidelined for the foreseeable future, however, he looks to be a key figure in Southampton’s battle for survival and my yet draw our interest when fixtures fall kinder for Nigel Adkins’ men.

Jason Puncheon
A prime budget option, Puncheon has disappointed of late having looked to be making a mockery of his price tag. Nonetheless, the assist for tonight’s goal took him to six for the season and with two goals and a record that shows he’s started the last ten league matches, Puncheon is a reliable budget midfielder who offers attacking intent. He could yet show his worth if the Saints can improve their goal output.

The Southampton Defence
Prior to conceding three at Stoke, Nigel Adkins’ side had let in just four goals in six league outings. Tonight, the new resolute defence was again on show as Southampton worked tirelessly to stifle the Arsenal threat. Nathaniel Clyne missed out again with a knee problem but he and Jose Fonte are emerging as decent budget options in the light of the new emphasis on keeping things tight.

Going Down

Theo Walcott
While the Gunners man returned the assist for Do Prado’s own goal, Walcott suffered a miserable night back at his former club. Having seen little joy in the lone striker role, he was shifted to a wide role on the introduction of Oliver Giroud. Walcott cut a forlorn figure at the whistle and this was a far cry from the stunning display that helped see off Newcastle at the weekend.

Santi Cazorla
It’s just one assist in three matches now for the playmaker who has found himself dissolve into the background in Fantasy terms, as Walcott has come to the fore. Owners of Cazorla will surely have one eye on the double fixture in Gameweek 23 and hoping for a revival, while tonight’s showing from Walcott will perhaps do little to prompt the straight swap.

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

    I hope Sessegnon goes wild tomorrow, for everyone who just dumped him out and wiped 0.1 off my team value.

            Personally I'd go Walcott over Santi, and Zabaleta over JEvans.

              Luiz is in contention too but lots of options to consider 8)

    The value of a WC is actually in the boring transfers. Not the heavy hitter ones which make sense on a weekly basis because they can pay off the first week, but the goalkeeper and defender ones that pay off over months in some cases.

    If your defence can last til gw24 I'd wait til then.

    I have
    Foster Begovic
    Johnson Sagna Demel Olsson Davies

    Think I can last just about.

        Sadly nah, I'd be pleased with one. Collins missed out today and his other rival McCartney is missing with an injury so Demel was expected to play. With either back it's touch and go. For rotation he may well play one.

          Does BIG Sam rotate? For what it's worth i always had him down as a manager that liked a consistent back 4 as far as possible. I'm pretty sure Demel was first choice before his illness, i didn't see the game today though. Perhaps he will get dropped?

            Sadly Demel seems to have never quite got nailed on as I discovered from getting burnt a lot the last two months. GWs 11,12,13 and 16 are the red flags with rotation with O'Brien and McCartney. Players like Reid on the other hand seem to play them all. I think the fullbacks tire more so Sam rotates then.

          Yeah I try to get goal threats hence Boyce dragging me down for so long. Bassong came after the points sadly, but he can wait until WC and may score again who knows.

          I was VERY close to pulling the WC for a couple of weeks there. Turns out the teams I was ready to put in would have done worse than what I had anyway, so the patience paid off.

          Well with 2FT I could probably fix my defensive weaknesses. But I'll have to monitor whether Aguero is going to be fit to play in 2 weeks. I also think there could be developments later on in the window like new signings or injuries that would make having a WC handy...maybe more so than now?

        Ah right...

        Ok I'll keep A Cole and remove Aguero for Tevez. Sound good?

        Begovic/Jussi
        A Cole/Demel/Nastasic/Gibbs/Clyne
        Michu/Bale/Walcott/Fellaini/Marveaux
        Ba/RVP/Tevez

          If it's only 10 days, Tevez probably isn't a wise option. I'll stick with Hughes, but then my defense is looking very weak indeed

      No idea, so i went for the more expensive option O'Brien.

          Demel then, Tomkins seems more like a utility player that can play several positions

      Next game will let us know as Collins will be back, but I have a hunch it will be Demel. Big Sam seems to really like him, was excellent today and Tomkins is a Championship player.

    Gunna play my WC after the DGW, I'm trying to find a cheap attacking duo who rotate well to avoid selection headaches every week, the best I've got so far is Ruiz & Walters (£12m).

    Can anyone think of a better value pair who rotate well?

        I'm going to play 3 at the back every week which means I only need to bench one mid/forward, if I have a cheap mid/forward duo who rotate well it will free up money, comprende?

      His price tag is getting out of control isn't it. I'm glad I got at 8.9m and suffered the rests...he really is a class apart when it comes to consistency of goals/assists. I'm wondering the same with Bale...to Bale or not to Bale...it's good that his price is frozen for a while.

      How strongly do you want to get Mata? Would you pay that price now for him?

        I want him, but only after the DGW, but what price is he going to be in 3 weeks? 😮

        I might just suck it up and hold off on him 😐

    To captain birdseye. I'm not sure that I would bring in marveaux on a WC, unless you have a back up plan, as his place in the team isn't assured when cabeye and barfa are back. He's certainly a great option this month though. There is some argument for keeping him as a cheap 5th midfielder (ala ferguson), even if he doesn't start.
