The Watchlist Updated – Gameweek 23
Filed under: The Watchlist - Posted by: Mark
With our second double Gameweek in view, Arsenal’s assets at both ends of the field dominate our Watchlist thinking. The Gunners ease out of their pair of fixtures into a stretch of home matches, reducing any apparent risk involved in short-term acquisition, as Arsene Wenger’s main protagonists top the rankings across three positions.
You can view our current standings in your sidebar and read on for the details behind the recent movements and the factors at play behind our thinking.
Goalkeepers
With the double to come, giving the Gunners four home matches in the next five Gameweeks, it’s no surprise to see Wojciech Szczesny climb to the top of our goalkeeper rankings. At 5.3, the Pole, along with Bacary Sagna and Kieran Gibbs, offers a secure route into Arsene Wenger’s back four for that favourable run.
In truth, Simon Mignolet is unfortunate to be toppled by the Arsenal stopper. With the Belgian helping Sunderland to their eighth clean sheet of the season with the win over West Ham, Mignolet continues to flourish as a Fantasy asset and is now the second ranked keeper in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game. With fixtures remaining kind and no real stand out contender in the Sunderland defence, Mignolet remains a strong option as a mid-price one-stop shop selection.
In many respects, those top two stand alone – ahead of the other contenders by quite some distance, not least because they are arguably the favoured defensive acquisitions for their respective teams.
The same cannot be said for both Asmir Begovic and Michel Vorm – there are potentially cheaper and more profitable options within the Stoke and Swansea back four which will doubtless have Fantasy managers thinking twice. Begovic may well be ranked as the top FPL keeper on show but, with just a single clean sheet in the last six outings, the form of the Stoke defence is a concern. The fixture list does fall in their favour, however, with the Potters facing up to Wigan, Reading and West Ham at the Britannia in their next three home matches: that should offer plenty of opportunity for Begovic to reinstate himself as the prime keeper option, although the availability of Marc Wilson, as a 4.0 defender, will likely reduce his stock considerably. Wilson is said to be just a few weeks from a return to contention and will be a top Fantasy target once reinstated in Tony Pulis’ rearguard.
As for Vorm, he has Ben Davies playing in front of him and available for just 4.2 but, with Stoke and QPR arriving at the Liberty Stadium next, and trips to Sunderland and West Ham in the sandwich, the Dutchman has obvious appeal as a keeper option.
West Ham’s Jussi Jaaskaleinen has some favourable opponents on the horizon while this week’s double Gameweek also reinforces his potential. Again though, the availability of prime defensive options, in this case Guy Demel at just 4.0, dents Jaaskaleinen’s appeal somewhat.
For views on effective goalkeeper pairings, our Wildcard article discusses our pick of those on offer, featuring the cast mentioned above and more.
Defenders
In defence we find Arsenal’s Kieran Gibbs holding firm, despite Sunday’s 2-0 reverse to City. Like Szczesny, Gibbs benefits form a run of Emirates matches and appears to offer good value on his 5.6 FPL price tag.
He holds off Everton’s Leighton Baines and Chelsea’s David Luiz, then, both of whom continue to offer strong attacking presence and the promise of goals and assists from both open play and set-pieces. Baines returned his first clean sheet in 16 league outings with the 0-0 at Swansea and, over the next three, appears to have the platform to build on that progress. As for Luiz, he got shifted back into defence at Stoke but will be expected to take up a midfield role now that John Terry is available to marshall Rafa Benitez’s rearguard.
City’s Pablo Zabaleta and West Ham’s Guy Demel complete our top five – two players at different ends of the price spectrum. Matija Nastasic runs Zabeleta close for the pick from the City defence but the Argentine’s raids forward are enough to make him our preferred option. As for Demel, he looks exceptional value at just 4.0 to offer coverage of Sam Allardyce’s backline for their forthcoming run of decent fixtures. West Ham will have to improve markedly on their defensive showing at Sunderland in order to offer returns, however.
Swansea’s Ben Davies is another outstanding option in the budget bracket and has a favourable four Gameweek spell, starting with the weekend clash with Stoke. We also like Wigan’s Emmerson Boyce, although there is some concern that, with the injury to Ivan Ramis at Fulham, he may well be forced back to centre-back role. Much depends on the availability of Antolin Alcaraz – it’s believed that he is close to a return after months on the sidelines.
Below this, we have more expensive options – notably United’s Patrice Evra who has stormed to the top of the defender FPL standings, despite keeping just four clean sheets all season. United’s back four remains questionable, although the fixture list is kind to Sir Alex Ferguson’s men and may tempted investors to look at Evra, despite a hefty 7.1 price tag. With rumours circulating that Nemanja Vidic has suffered further ligament damage in Sunday’s victory over Liverpool, there will be continued concerns of further fragility but, at the same time, the likes of Jonny Evans could also earn interest, with his start more assured – again, though, we await prognosis on the hamstring problem that kept him out of Sunday’s game against Liverpool.
Midfielders
Theo Walcott finds himself labeled as the “most wanted” going into Gameweek 23. The winger turned forward faces up to Chelsea and West Ham having returned in seven of his last nine league outings. Potentially devastating, Walcott will be expected to flourish over Arsenal’s four home fixtures in the next five Gameweeks.
Team-mate Santi Cazorla slides into relative obscurity as a result of Walcott’s ascent and the Spaniard, whilst fancied for Gameweek 23, seems unlikely to tempt Fantasy managers to double up in the mid-term, with the likes of Gareth Bale and Juan Mata remaining strong in the same price bracket. Neither can compete with Cazorla on fixtures but, with Walcott offering the coverage of Arsene Wenger’s attack, both Bale and Mata will likely retain their position in many squads, whilst earning a share of new owners.
That pairing can’t quite rival both Michu and Marouane Fellaini for value and goal threat, however. Deployed in advanced roles for Swansea and Everton respectively, the duo have always looked like season keepers and, with strong fixtures ahead of them in the short-term, we have to expect further returns from both.
Outside of the top six, we find two more heavy-hitters as both City’s David Silva and Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard struggle to break the template midfield. Gerrard’s form remains superb but, with both Luis Suarez and now Daniel Sturridge offering coverage, the Liverpool skipper’s appeal takes a dent. As for Silva, he has simmered with a run of four assists in the last six matches but, with Edin Dzeko a mid-price option up front, the Spanish playmaker is struggling to establish himself as anything but a differential right now. Silva still has a modest 5% ownership.
The mid-price bracket remains flooded with differentials, with Kevin Nolan, Jon Walters and Stephane Sessegnon all viable routes for those opting to break up the template and seek out something a little different. You can add Adam Johnson to that list, with little to choose between the former City winger and his team-mate, Sessegnon.
Forwards
There’s a shake-up below the top two of Robin Van Persie and Luis Suarez, with both City’s Edin Dzeko and Arsenal’s Lukas Podolski emerging as excellent short-term options. Dzeko faces up to the obliging Fulham defence this weekend having scored four goals in three league starts, while Podolski looks set to take on spot-kick duties with Mikel Arteta out and, in addition to his double Gameweek, enjoys the aforementioned run of Emirates encounters over the next month.
Those two topple Demba Ba who slips in our reckoning, at least until we form a view on the severity of the rotation problem at the Bridge with Fernando Torres. Daniel Sturridge, a player formerly the victim of few opportunities at the London club, now becomes a serious factor in our Fantasy seasons and takes his place in our Watchlist rankings. A goal at Old Trafford on his Liverpool league debut signaled Sturridge’s intent and, once he’s established and confirmed fully fit, we expect to see the former Chelsea man climb further and dent the appeal of Luis Suarez, given the significant price difference between the pair.
Steven Fletcher and Rickie Lambert head up a pack of excellent mid-price differentials, with Romelu Lukaku and the budget friendly Pavel Pogrebnyak offering further options for those shopping for a cheap third striker in a preferred 3-5-2 FPL set-up.

I’ve pencilled in Gwk 26, when Liverpool’s fixtures become sumptious, for Daniel Sturridge. Liverpool are basically on a par with Bolton of a few seasons ago these days and he did miracles for them. Could have a great end to the season.

what about
Ba – Aguero
Lambert – Sturridge?
January 15 at 3:48 pm
Eunuch Jelly says:
An acceptable non-RVP solution, but risky at this time. Aguero is just now back from injury–are we sure he plays 90 or well? Rodgers still, even today, referred to Sturreidge as being not yet match fit, so perhaps he starts on the bench. If you have RVP, BA, and Lambert you have a very good chance of three top strikers starting.
January 15 at 3:55 pm
Nice2Michu says:
I could go
Ba – Rooney
Lambert – fletcher
which would allow me to keep the power 5?
January 15 at 4:01 pm
Eunuch Jelly says:
Well, at least that gives you two that are pretty sure to start. The real problem is the the Aguero/Sturridge pairing is better if they start, and by GW24 we’ll pretty much know if they will regularly start and play well. Maybe just punt Lambert (or Ba if he plays a lot Wednesday) to Podolski and save a transfer for your double-switch next week.

Bowstring92 - Torino FC representing from Dublin says:
Just to clarify from the last page:
People expect Bale + Sturridge to outscore Michu + Suarez in the long-term? That’s basically the difference in my two WC proposals
January 15 at 3:31 pm
Nice2Michu says:
oooh tthats tough
January 15 at 3:32 pm
Bowstring92 - Torino FC representing from Dublin says:
Michu + Suarez just looks so much safer – between AVB’s often-failing tactics and Sterling-Sturridge rotation it’s a very tough call
January 15 at 3:34 pm
Dealbert says:
Michu has 3,2,2 in his last three starts. He’s finito as an FPL monster…
January 15 at 3:35 pm
Bowstring92 - Torino FC representing from Dublin says:
I have been worried about this I must say.. think Bale’s season will start from here til the end. Just unconvinced by Sturridge at the moment
January 15 at 3:37 pm
Dealbert says:
Yeah, understood, I will get to monitor him for two more games before I make the same decision…
January 15 at 3:31 pm
Kostja says:
Depends on how they play, if sturridge continues up front than I would pick him over suarez even if they were at the same price
January 15 at 3:33 pm
Bowstring92 - Torino FC representing from Dublin says:
Is Suarez’ assurance of starts and FKs worth more than Sturridge’s rotation risk with Sterling? Hard one
January 15 at 3:35 pm
Kostja says:
The cool think with Sturridge is that he is not a straight up rotation risk with Sterling. He could fit into the team instead of any of the midfield or attacking players. I mean he came on instead of Lucas on the weekend. The versatility of Suarez who can play both wings and behind the striker and Gerrard who can pretty much play any position on the field help him out a lot.
January 15 at 3:36 pm
Kostja says:
and they looked so much better with him playing so I think long term he will be nailed on. only concearn now is the match fitness
January 15 at 3:31 pm
Dealbert says:
Yes, I do!

Well I’m set on playing 3-4-3 because I’m sick of hearing of the ‘power 5′. Aguero and RVP up front with definitely Mata, Walcott and Fellaini in midfield. Toss up between Michu or Bale for the 4th spot. If Michu, then Suarez/Sturridge.. If Bale then Sturridge.
January 15 at 3:38 pm
The Mata is CR7 is Hazardous to Messi says:
I think Michu can outscore Walcott in the rest of the fixtures after the Arsenal DGW…

I just don’t see Cole getting 2 starts, Chamakh may start v QPR, can see Carlton being taken off early v Arsenal. Don’t see that Carlton is an option for DGW as he won’t play 2 games. Think I may just get Pod. Can then sell Fellaini to Nani for a 1 GW punt pre-wc.

January 15 at 3:44 pm
Bowstring92 - Torino FC representing from Dublin says:
Rooney was credited an assist I think it was against Bolton, but everyone was going mad because it took a hit of the CB before going to Rooney (outside the penalty area). And I think that same GW (or the week before) RVP had an assist removed because Gervinho got an atomic-size touch on the ball before getting the the goalscorer… So FPL wen’t into a mad one because all the Rooney (c) outscored the RVP ones
January 15 at 3:44 pm
Fratboy says:
Rooney got 2 assists last season, neither which really should’ve counted but both did at home to Bolton. It was bloody brilliant because he missed a penalty that day and lots of people had him captained for that game. Everyone who didn’t have him was maaaaad
January 15 at 3:38 pm
RoysCallerAnne says:
I see Sturridge in a lot of peoples thoughts. I can understand for Norwich at home as a one week punt.
But if you’re WCing at the weekend, I think it’s best to avoid until GW26.
How about Jelavic as an alternative for GW24 & 25? WBA, AV…..he’s got to find his shooting boots in those two fixtures, surely?

I have a similar problem. If Torres plays the loin’s share of tomorrow’s match thenI say A. If not, or if his price looks like dropping, C.

Michu Mata Hazard Walcott Marveaux

1 FT and 0.3 in the bank. Was thinking of Hazard -> Cazorla for the DGW. Or should i do something else?
Thoughts would be very much appreciated

anyone still hungover from last weeks intense wildcard team selections?? needed a day or two off myself to recharge my batteries.
dont feel like logging onto fantasy football at the moment kinda like when i have a poor score and dont wana see my red arrow lol
January 15 at 3:51 pm

Yeah, I’m there .. just waiting for the Arsenal replay tomorrow then hopefully back on it.
January 15 at 3:52 pm

well i kind of know what my next move is too which helps. but i feel like i need a little break. last week was intense
January 15 at 3:54 pm

Exactly the same boat. Real intense. Had a good week though, thankfully.

if i didnt have baines would have had clyne and lambert lol. so baines is actually making me lose points indirectly
January 15 at 4:00 pm

Haha, that’s true in a way. Still got you 4 more points than my Gibbs did. Davies and Pog sneaking decent scores sat on my bench was annoying. Should have benched Michu!

you going for Sturridge this week?
January 15 at 3:57 pm
rvp786 says:
not sure yet dago. kinda relaxing the brain at the moment. going to analyse it on friday. too many options at the moment:
keep ba
swap to pod/dzeko/studge/jelavic
January 15 at 3:59 pm
The Dago says:
ive ruled out Podolski and Jelavic from that list. Toss up between Sturridge and Dzeko for Berba. Thinking City cover is probably more important at the moment.
January 15 at 4:02 pm
rvp786 says:
jelavic just came into it now when that guy above mentioned it. might be worth a 3 game punt.
podolski might be worth a 2 game punt. less likely to lose out.
studge is tempting but he might not start and then has 2 tough games afterwards. long term though he will be in my front 3.
id prefer ageuro over dzeko
January 15 at 4:05 pm
The Dago says:
yer Dzeko the short term fix for me until cash can be free’d up from the back for Sergio.

Jenkinson looks like falling to 4.1m tonight. What a steal he would be if Sagna was to miss a few!
January 15 at 3:51 pm
roscola says:
I’m sure I heard talk of Sagna being disillusioned at Arsenal and wanting out. His recent performances hardly refute that
January 15 at 3:51 pm
Lateriser12 - "I am a consulting detective. The only one in the world" says:
I think he’ll soon be first choice if Sagna continues this way.
January 15 at 3:54 pm
The Viper says:
Yeah he hasn’t been brilliant lately. Would hate to see him go though, still a top quality right back when he finds his feet again.
January 15 at 3:57 pm
Dial Square says:
I think we should have bought Debuchy to replace Sagna, he looks completely lost atm
January 15 at 3:53 pm
Give The Todd Some Love says:
Jenkinson has played much better than Sagna this season
January 15 at 3:56 pm
cassanata says:
I used to think Sagna was the best RB in the premiership. This season he is more like Paul Parker
January 15 at 3:52 pm
Give The Todd Some Love says:
What’s everyone doing with Ba then? Selling for Pod if he plays tonight? Also is it just me, or does it seem really improbable that he’ll start…
January 15 at 3:58 pm

He’ll start he’ll play he’ll score

Really tough but Bale would slightly edge it for me. Both if possible though..

Both are essential.

Mata is streets ahead of any other midfielder in the PL, in a midfield that is superior to Spurs in my humble opinion.
January 15 at 4:00 pm
Hatter says:
hmmmm both…? Onlly way i could do that is by doing a 3-5-2 which im not sure about and it would mean comprising on my 3rd striker which is dzeko/ sturridge / podolski

Will most likely only be a 1/2 game punt anyway before I decide on someone more ‘permanent’

with your team woud you not go Luiz -> cheapie and Ba -> Aguero. I think no City cover is going to hurt eventually.

Ivanovic + Suarez + Ba
Ivanovic + Sturridge + Aguero
