Monitor – Alexis Sanchez

With a single goal in his last six league appearances, Alexis Sanchez’s debut season in the Premier League seems in danger of grinding to a halt. After serving up 12 strikes and seven assists in the opening 21 Gameweeks, the Chilean’s displays made him a must-have for Fantasy managers but, in spite of Arsenal’s late surge up the table, his recent output has been minimal.

There’s no disputing the fact that Sanchez’ downturn has coincided with the return to action of Mesut Ozil. The German has started each of the last seven Gameweeks and managed two goals and five assists over that period, whilst Olivier Giroud has developed a source of consistency which has harvested six strikes and a trio of assists in his previous eight outings.

Despite his price of 11.4 in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, Sanchez is still the third most popular midfielder – only Eden Hazard and Raheem Sterling currently sit in more sides. With some of his 30% ownership starting to scour the market for alternatives, we delve into the data to asses his displays over the two time frames in order to ascertain just what has gone wrong.

    G'Day Gents,
    I have 2FT's and struggling for ideas, any advice would be golden!

    Foster Krul
    Terry Clyne Rose Naughton PVA
    Hazard Sanchez Sterling Eriksen Wanyama
    Aguero Giroud Kane

    0.5ITB

    I was thinking Krul > Ospina (hopefully Foster is back for Palace hame)
    and Sterling > Mane

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd just use 1FT this game week and I'd get Guzan in for Foster ahead of DGW31

      1. Rick James
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        thanks for the reply, I'll think about that one as I reckon Villa wont keep any clean sheets

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Do both of the moves you stated imo

  3. The Enlightener
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    This close to pullin' the trigger on Aguero to Costa. Just thought I'd run that by some peeps who might have somethin' to say about it.

    1. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For the DGW sure if Aguero keeps stuttering but dont exactly see any advantages to owning Costa over him at the minute. He's also not firing like Aguero, just as expensive, and could still get a suspension. Fixtures look decent though

      1. The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. Actually probably gonna go for Benteker instead.

        1. The Enlightener
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Imagine if you had picked him up and captained him for the last two GWs. Ah, the stuff the fantasy football dreams are made of.

          1. BeachBadger
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah no guts no glory. Innsie going to captain Fonte this week. I hope it comes off for him 😆

        2. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Might be a decent punt. Might backfire horribly. Such is the risk with Aguero. You wont know til Captain Hindsight comes around 😆

          1. The Enlightener
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Captain Hindsight knows it all. Just a little late on the uptake.

            1. The Enlightener
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I need to get in contact with Captain Foresight.

              1. BeachBadger
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Puntmaster is as close as we've got I think 😆

              1FT

              Sanchez - - > Hindsight?

    2. Rick James
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hold for at least 1 more week I reckon

      1. The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        'Twas considering that Rick. Aguero could be a superfreak on Saturday morning. I don't know, though. City have been ghastly as of late. Yaya is a mess, which affects whole team. Only player who looked half decent against Barca was Hart. That game could have easily been 7-0. Not feeling it right now for any of the City players.

        1. Rick James
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He's still the best player in the league. His form can change quickly, he only needs a couple of chances. Can you take a look at my conundrum above?

          cheers mate

          1. The Enlightener
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Sterling is a weird one. Could easily get a goal or two against Man U. Might actually hold, if not for just one more week. I would probs get Wanyama out. Maybe for Matty Phillips, especially with a QPR double coming up.

    3. dmhomag
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Costa has 10 remaining games vs Aguero 9. 10% more game time + 2 starter points (x2 if c).

      DGW 34 obvious (c) choice for Costa.

      Costa outscoring Aguero last few game weeks.

      Costa is main striker. Aguero now shares with Dzeko/Bony (no chance of November's sole striker explosiveness)

      1. The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This pretty much sums up a lot of my thinking on it.

      2. Hymie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Costa won't play v LEI

    4. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      High chance you'll feel like a fool for doing it, but I think there's no better week to do it than this week considering City's dire form and Chelsea up against Hull.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Worry about the possible failure has blocked me from making what would have been a great move before, many a times. I often find I don't listen to my gut, only to get burned. That is the only thing that really frustrates me with this game. If I over analyze, that's it. Shite starts hitting the fan.

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          read Trigger's article below then 🙂

  4. Shifty

    Good morning DZ. Aguero's confidence has been shot to sh*t hasn't it

    1. mipola
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He was my captain for this week. After yesterday's match I am strongly considering someone else.

  5. Four Four Boyz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry if I have missed the chat, but has anybody been considering Sinclair for the DGW? He has looked lively (admittedly only watched him in highlights).

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hes not a bad shout. The thing with any of the double GW31 mids is who will you drop in favour?

      If you have a mid with Sanchez, Silva, Mane, Ozil, Erik Hazard etc would you play Sincliar/N Zogbia/ Phillips etc over one of these? Dont think i would

      1. Four Four Boyz
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm I hadn't though of that. I have got Ozil, Silva, Hazard Erik and..Theo at the moment. Guess I should just be sensible and bring in Mane for Theo but he burnt me right at the beginning of his time there!

        Thanks for the advice.

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Looking at your linked team i would be looking at

          Walcott right down to fund a defender to Ivan

    2. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. But if chasing your MLs, any of the DGW mids will be a strong differential.

      If the big guns fire this GW though....you're going to be very nervous benching any of them in 31.

  6. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    moving forward - after this GW, what would be your order on freeing up some funds?

    A) Sanchez
    B) Augero
    C) Silva

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would all depend on how this GW goes but Silva at this stage I still think Sanchez and Aguero still have pretty of goals in them till the end of season.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Plenty

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      *sorry
      B) Aguero

    3. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A or C

  7. Your Mum Zohore
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys, need some help here:

    Thinking of doing Sanchez + Barnes => Giroud + 8.2m

    Any suggestions?

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sinclair

    2. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mane.

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Was just thinking of that actually, seems like a good shout.

      2. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mane looks promising for this week

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm just basing it completely on his performance against Chelsea - very good. Southampton played fantastic as well. Will be confident.

          I can see Burnley being a tad overconfident and overstretch themselves this game.

    3. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Already have Sterling though, but might swap him for Coutinho in the next few weeks.

    4. warchild

  9. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

    Play Heaton or Pants? apart from that another template team set?

    Heaton
    Ivan Bertrand Bellerin
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Eriksen(C)
    Aguero Kane Giroud(VC)

    Pants Ameobi PVA Haidara

      Sunderland might perform for new manager, i would play panti

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Trigger Just thinking West Ham have more of a goal threat than Saints, Saints replying on Mane if he doesn't turn up then 0-0

    1. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      like the "Self Attribution" bit.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      *salute*
      Other than Costa I dont see any other replacement for Aguero, so thats my reason of holding him. Since start of the season, I have decided that 1 spot is for Kun and Costa. If I take out Kun, it'll be for Costa.

    3. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      There are simply no other choices at the moment.

  10. Joga Bonito®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So what do you think the top four will look like at the end of the season. I don't remember a season with so many positions up for grabs.

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      At the moment Liverpool and Man U Arsenal have the form, Liverpool I think have the best run in Chelsea Arsenal Man City Liverpool

      1. Joga Bonito®
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I hope you're right. This Sunday is massive. If Man Utd win then things might be different.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea
      City or Arsenal
      Arsenal or City
      Man U

  12. coran2123

    Probably going to completely ignore the Villa/QPR DGW, transfers are precious at this time of year (especially without a WC)

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i'm the same.
      I cant justify the risk

    2. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably just Giroud > Benteke/Austin for me if I make a transfer.

      Just too few options like in GW28. But those 2 will be popular. Might just have to get one of them in to keep up. Definitely not getting more than 1 player. Single week players have good fixtures that week.

      1. coran2123
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Would you dare let go of the goalscoring machine that is Giroud?

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I might - depending on how the lead up to the week goes. Was going to remove Giroud in GW32/GW33 and play my WC in GW34 anyway.

          1. coran2123
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Ah I see, having the WC makes all the difference with all the DGWs flying around

  13. Shifty
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero still the heavy favourite for the armband this week according to RMT 😎

    Would just be typical of this season if Aguero explodes while Kane blanks.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both will blank 😉

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      RMT just misleading poorly coded garbage , anyone basing any decisions on it would be doomed to failure

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years

        so much this!

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      equally the catain polls have a flaw.

      People vote for who they want to be the best captain rather than who they think is the best captain

      Small difference but vital

      1. Shifty
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Caz>Mane(c) is on the cards, unless I bottle it

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Nice shout!

          I have different pressure so cant go for these diff picks. Leading a cash league by around 40 points and 500 pounds for the winner.

          If i was playing solo for overall rank now is the time for a Mane/ Benteke punt. Its meant to be fun. Mine is more stress

          1. Shifty
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            i'm leading 2 competitive MLs by 30-40 points with 550 pounds at stake, and still considering it! Too punty? 😕

            1. Joggers Nipple
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Mate, dont want to advise on that. To me if my rank falls and i extend my lead over mates im happy. Not just the cash. 6 of us work together so the rivalry and giving of grief to others is a big part to me

              1. Shifty
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                haha i understand. Yea we're pretty close and plenty of banter in my ML. It's either Mane or Hazard (c) this week for me.

                But Mane is 99% coming in for Caz as an FT at least. Just want to make sure there are no injuries at the PCs

                1. Joggers Nipple
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  The transfer- do that for sure

    The more I think about it, the more I feel like ditching Kane for Costa for the DGW. Few weeks away yet. Lets see what the future holds.

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gotta put this money to good use somehow. All the big boys are stuttering. Need Costa, Aguero and Sanchez to up their game and burn the peasants 😆

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm potentially going all in with Costa, Sturridge, giroud. I'm a sucker for a dgw

      1. BeachBadger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Studge nice. Would likely mean a hit for me to bring him in too though so will go without I reckon

  15. Sylvester the Investor
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Panti
    Fonte, Azpi, Bellerin
    Hazard, Silva, Eriksen, Sanchez,
    Kun, Giroud, Kane (C)

    Krul | Zouma, Boyd, Baird

    1FT, 1.4 ITB

    All good to save here lads? Have been tossing up Baird to Toby.

    1. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Save. Possibly play Zouma too

      1. Sylvester the Investor
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Zouma instead of Bellerin? Any chance he'll get a Cameo?

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Unlikely. I suppose it could happen though

          1. Sylvester the Investor
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            You're right, recently he either plays or he doesn't. Changed my team. Thanks!

            1. BeachBadger
              • 10 Years

              Watch him come on for a cameo now Ive changed your mind 😆

    aguero/kane/sanchez/mane

    this weeks captaincy will be one of my hardest yet. can't see much between em

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      kun and sanchez have basically been the captaincy bankers. with both struggling to put em away now its getting interesting

    2. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Boring as it sounds I may just go Aguero again. He has the highest ceiling.

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        i'd say kane and sanchez have similar points ceiling. Mane however has been a lot more reliable. this is a decision for tomorrows champ 🙂

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Well I did say Aguero not Kane or Sanchez :roll; lol Im tempted by Giroud and his consistency myself. Tomorrow's Champ and Badger have tough times ahead 😆

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            what I mean is kane and sanchez have similar ceiling as aguero.

            they do indeed. glad its not our problem 😀

            1. BeachBadger
              • 10 Years

    Thoughts on Eriksen > Mane?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen has decent fixtures now. Not sure its worth ditching him

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The more i go round and around as a non-wc owner it keeps coming back to one decision. Costa or Ivan for the 33 and 34 to go with Terry and Haz? I feel there is no right answer to this. I was so set on Ivan but wavering to Costa now

      If i could decide on that (plus know ARS double is 34) i think i would be pretty set

      1. BeachBadger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        DOing the same thing myself. May go Ivan simply cos its less hassle to fit him in and can get other decent strikers

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          it is so much easier for Ivan.

          Captain Costa in that double week could kill me though.

          Yellow cards, Aguero form and Arsenal double. These variables will help decide

          1. BeachBadger
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yep so many variables. At least I have a few weeks to set my stall in order. Hopefully will become clearer which one to get by then

            1. Joggers Nipple
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Ignoring Benteke would make it loads easier too. Finding that hard too

              1. BeachBadger
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Im finding that quite easy 😆 Bigger fish to fry

                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Breaking my own rule- Bentekke and Lukkaku are never the answer

                  1. BeachBadger
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    Laukaku for sure. Dont think I wrote Benteke off my list fully

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Tough decision

    4. Shifty

      Giroud has form and fixtures. The issue is that when we overwhelmingly expect him to perform, he becomes BS. Once a donkey forever a donkey.

    Morning Dzzzz, how you guys doing?

    Havnt been here in a while...will pretty much win my ML and this is my best ever rank which i doubt i will ever achieve again :-/ have 2FT and 5m itb

    Krul ---- panti
    Ivanovic naughton bellerin -- caulker dawson
    Hazard silva siggy ozil --- boyd
    kan kun austin

    1) Start krul (ARS) or panti (whm)
    2) start naughton (avl) and bellerin (new) over caulker (EVE)?
    3) can't remove caulker so keeping him for the dgw
    4) Potential transfers
    A: bellerin >> saints def // whm def?
    B: siggy >> mane
    not sure what else

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years

      I like A but would prefer Caulker to Saints. A double for a QPR def doesn't mean anything imo

    2. Sylvester the Investor

    Thinking of moving either Bell or Punch this week.

    1. davies

      Puncheon > Mane and bench Ki.

      1. Guidinho
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just did said move 1 min ago reassured by the stats in this article and their fixtures

  26. Guidinho
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    For the first time in ages we have a serious conundrum for Captain with 4 realistic choices between Kane, Aguero, Giroud and Hazard. Prob 90% will opt for the first two (including me to defend my league position) but genuinely the way Arsenal are playing and what Chelsea might do to Hull, anyone brave enough to go with the latter could make some headway on ML deficits.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All very true. Leading so Aguero for me.

      Nice rank btw! Any thoughts on the 31 double? Ignoring?

      1. Guidinho
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed. Have Phillips which is enough, really don't see the value in adjusting team when people should be preparing for 34. Not to mention it clashes with some good fixtures for many of the main players during 31 and the run up to 34 I think there may be some short term gain but when looking back I highly doubt it will be worth while. It's often a habit I see on here where people only look at their DGW score and ignore the opportunity cost of the GWs after. a great example is Benteke who has Spurs, blank, Man City in the following 3 game weeks,

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Who is your (c) next week?

          1. Guidinho
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Currently looking at Hazard. I think Chelsea are due a blow out victory soon as I imagine Mou has given them an earful after last few games. I really think we could see them turn over Hull by 4 goals so just hope my decision is not a week too late!

    2. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Makes sense. Will probably go with Kane but would go for Giroud if I had him

    3. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not really. The choice of captain who will not blank is always a difficult task.

      1. Guidinho
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm fairly confident that we will see a much greater variation in scores this week compared to the last few solely because not everyone will be in the same captain boat. The last few weeks have been tame as even in cases when the captain has blanked something like 90% have picked the same player so it makes no difference. This week looking at the captain poll if either of Aguero or Kane blanked and the other say got a brace we could easily see point variations of 25-30 points which in most leagues would b significant

  27. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Austin+Cameron>Giroud+Upson (- 4) on Saturday 6.30 pm GMT

          I'd like to see the Spanish waiter back but even he couldn't cause City to implode.

          Yaya doesn't look interested ( needs more birthday cake 😆 ) and Kompany is bang out of form.

          Arsenal could beat them for 2nd but I'd be surprised if they slipped below third 🙁

    2. Guidinho
      • 13 Years

      Wouldn't go that far, now that the pressure is off them I would not be surprised to see a team or two get a hiding.
