Monitor – Theo Walcott

Filed under: Members - Posted by: Paul

Having failed to score in each of his last four matches, Theo Walcott has been sold on by significant numbers of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers ahead of the weekend’s deadline. Similar to our other Monitor subject, Juan Mata, Walcott has been mainly sacrificed due to a blank Gameweek 29; over 54,000 have parted company with the Gunners wide man and, as a result, we cast an eye over his key attacking statistics in order to establish just why he has dropped in performance.

Prior to Gameweek 25, Walcott had served up a series of scintillating performances across his previous eight matches. Between Gameweek 17-24, he produced seven goals, five assists and 8 FPL bonus points – with attacking returns in all but one of those matches, a tally of 75 points, or 9.3 points per game (ppg), saw the bandwagon reach breakneck speed as he moved from 8.6 to 9.4 in price. Since then, although he’s managed to maintain his consistency by producing an assist in three of the last four, he has racked up 20 points over that period – dropping down to five ppt from Gameweek 25 onwards.

      Does he not have to be in the PL squad first then go on loan to show up there?

      1966 was a great year for English football - Eric was born says:

    Totally agree with this article, Walcott is an inform player with good games to come and also a clear run of games until the season end. Looks like the midfield template is being split up along with the RVP sales this could provide opportunities to climb the ladder soon enough.

    1 FT – 10 players
    Baines-> Glen Johnson?

    can play this 4-3-3 then:

    Bego
    Johnson-Dawson-Davies-Mariappa (Zabaleta)
    Bale-Sissoko-Michu (Mata-Fellaini)
    Suarez-Sturridge-Lambert

“I am happy with the way I’ve started, but on the other hand, I should have scored four or five more, so that’s something for me to work on.”
