The Stock Check – Wednesday

A frustrating evening for Gareth Bale and Fantasy managers as Spurs and Chelsea play out a stalemate at the Bridge with the goals shared amongst unlikely differentials. Here’s the Stock Check from Wednesday’s Gameweek climax.

On the Up

Oscar
The young Brazilian was identified as our headline act in our Differentials article prior to the Gameweek deadline and duly delivered. Tonight’s tap in was his third goal in four games for Oscar, who has started five of the last six league outings. Owned by under 2% of Fantasy Premier League managers, we picked him this week out as a possible replacement for the injured Michu over the final two matches and, with tonight’s returns, many could now look in his direction.

Emmanuel Adebayor
The Togo striker put on a superb showing, earning goal and assist returns for the second time in his last four starts. Adebayor has endured a hugely disappointing season back in Spurs colours and has in no way justified his lofty FPL price tag. His end of season form is, however, looking strong and he could yet be considered as a potential differential for the final two fixtures by those with cash to spare up top.

Going Down

Eden Hazard
While Juan Mata kept ticking over and came out of the double Gameweek with an assist, his fellow playmaker was given just 72 minutes to earn returns for his investors and come up short. Hazard’s failure was compounded by Oscar’s profits and the Belgian’s owners will now have to hope for consecutive starts over the final two fixtures and a rapid turnaround in fortunes.

Jermain Defoe
Dropped to the bench after an ineffective display against Southampton, Adebayor’s performance will surely make a huge dent in Defoe’s prospects over the remaining fixtures and kill off any thoughts that the England striker could be an effective differential for the season climax.

Team:

Bunn (WBA)

Baines (WHU) - Dawson (stk) - Kompany (rdg)

Fellaini (WHU) - Ramires (avl) - Bale (stk) - Silva (rdg)

Bentekkers (CHE) - RVP (SWA) - Lukkaku (nor)

Bench jussi - Gomez - Wilson - Fig

1. Gomez > Hendo
2. Gomez > Cout - Lukkaku > Jrod
3. Lukkaku > Studge and Gomez > Hendo
4. Lukkaku/Gomez/Silva > Studge Rosicky and mid 8.4 or under
5. Same as above > Podolski - Coutinho and Hendo/Rosicky/mid under 6.3

Or what do you think? I have no arsenal cover and don't want Walcott as opponent has him!

Thanks!

        yea you could, just commenting that not the smartest way of doing it, a more secure passcode would be more sensible. Currently everyone could join the members league, or the 'contributors league' or any other league they fancied just by looking it up. Would get really annoying though

Best midfielder for 8.5m that isn't Coutinho? (Have Walcott)

Ben Arfa & Lampard are the two that spring to mind. Would love a differential with the potential of a haul. Fellaini is another option but not a differential.. (looking to push up the overall rank, mini leagues are more less done & dusted)

  Barfa for me, think I'll get him in for Hazard.
  
  Most creative NUFC player, they're desperately in need of points and Sissoko is out so he'll be playing in the hole.
  
  Worth the punt for QPR away alone imo.

Guess all the talk is on our next manager?

As an everton fan I don't fancy Roberto Martinez - he doesn't seem right for the club.

Personally I like Gus Poyet, either Neville or Zola (if Watford and palace don't go up respectively)

AB is right, Bale has been trash in all the last 3 games, and is incredibly lucky to have come out of them with 24 points.
