Fixtures

Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 23 – The Strong

Next up, we turn our attentions to the upcoming schedule and analyse those teams with the strongest fixtures over the next four to six Gameweeks. Everton have every reason for optimism at both ends of the pitch, whilst West Ham and West Brom are also braced for a kind run of matches.

EVERTON

frisking

Having scored 17 goals in their last six home matches, and coming up against lowly Swansea and Newcastle over the next two Gameweeks, Toffees attacking assets should continue to flourish in the short term. Newcastle have allowed more shots from inside the box (44) than any other side over the last four Gameweeks, and have also conceded nine big chances, the second most in the top flight over the same period. Swansea have managed just one clean sheet on their travels this season, so Romelu Lukaku (9.2), in particular, looks a great option for our three-man frontlines. The trip to Aston Villa in Gameweek 28 offers another favourable match-up, while West Brom have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six away matches.

Villa, Swansea and West Brom have created the fewest big chances over the last four Gameweeks, so the prospect of defensive returns for members of the Everton rearguard appear fairly hopeful in those matches. Newcastle and Liverpool do feature in the top three for shots from inside the box over the last four Gameweeks, though, while Stoke have averaged two goals per match over the same period. The fact Roberto Martinez’s side have only kept three clean sheets in their last 16 matches means Everton defenders are unlikely to be high on Fantasy managers shopping lists, but the two assists registered by Leighton Baines (6.1) against Chelsea may persuade some to invest in the left-back, with returns at either end of the pitch looking possible over the coming period. At 5.1, Phil Jagielka is the cheaper alternative here.

WEST BROM

frisking

It’s West Brom’s defence that has attracted much of our attention this season as regards to possible investment in Baggies Fantasy assets, but Tony Pulis’ men have surprisingly only managed one shut-out over the last 12 Gameweeks. As already mentioned, though, the Baggies’ next two opponents, Aston Villa and Swansea, are both struggling to create many clear-cut opportunities at present, so the chances of picking up clean sheets in those matches appear fairly bright. The other team to visit the Hawthorns on the current slate are Crystal Palace, and having failed to score in their last five matches, that also represents a reasonably favourable match-up, although much will depend on whether Yannick Bolasie is back in action by Gameweek 27. The three away matches (new, eve, lei) all look pretty tricky in terms of keeping things tight at the back, though, so while those who own the likes of Craig Dawson (5.1) will be happy to hold at the moment, we may see some sales after the next two home matches, particularly if the backline fail to produce the goods. Boaz Myhill owners may be looking for a way out soon, with Ben Foster back in contention.

With Newcastle, Everton, Swansea and Villa all ranked in the top 10 for big chances conceded over the last four Gameweeks, the prospects for the Baggies’ attackers look promising. The other two fixtures over the next six Gameweeks (CPL, lei) also don’t appear that unfavourable given the Eagles have conceded eight goals in their last four matches, while only Newcastle have allowed more shots from inside the box than Leicester over the last four Gameweeks. With no stand-out option among the midfield or forward line, though, it’s unlikely many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bosses will be looking to the Hawthorns to fill their front eight positions.

WEST HAM

frisking

Two plum home fixtures against Aston Villa and Sunderland should prove very fruitful for the Hammers from an attacking point of view. The Black Cats have conceded 16 goals in their last five away trips, while the vulnerability of the Villa rearguard has already been touched upon. The trip to Southampton in Gameweek 25 looks a tougher proposition on the back of consecutive clean sheets at home for the Saints, but the Carrow Road encounter that follows is likely to offer more potential. In saying that, the Canaries have also kept shut-outs in their last two outings on home turf. Although the home clashes against Man City and Tottenham will offer tougher match-ups, though, those that have invested in Dimitri Payet (8.0) and, to a lesser extent, Michail Antonio (5.2), will still be optimistic that the pair can bring in the points.

It goes without saying it will be tough for the Hammers to keep out either City or Tottenham when they visit East London over the next few weeks. Sunderland could also be hard to keep at bay, given Sam Allardyce’s men have scored in each of their last five away matches, including at the Emirates, the Etihad and White Hart Lane. Southampton have also found their scoring boots over the last two Gameweeks, so it’s perhaps only the matches against Villa and Norwich where there appears to be a good chance of defensive returns for the likes of Adrian (5.0) and Aaron Cresswell (5.6).

ALSO CONSIDER…

Crystal Palace
With Swansea, Watford and, to a slightly lesser extent, West Brom generally figuring towards the bottom of the key attacking categories such as big chances created and shots from inside the box, members of the Palace backline could be handy investments over the coming period. While Bournemouth and Sunderland have both been improving in front of goal of late, both fixtures are also reasonable match-ups, so Scott Dann (5.8) in particular should continue to be a sought-after option for our five-man backlines.

As previously mentioned, the goals have dried up for the Eagles over the past month, so while the home fixture against Bournemouth in particular looks favourable with the Cherries allowing more big chances (11) than any other team over the last four Gameweeks, it’s only perhaps Yohan Cabaye (6.5) who looks worthy of consideration until Bolasie returns to full fitness. The rest of Palace’s upcoming schedule (TOT, BOU, swa, WAT, wba, sun) is reasonably favourable though.

Liverpool
With only the home clash against Man City in Gameweek 28 looking too unfavourable in the next six (nor, lei, SUN, avl, EVE, MCI), the prospects for Reds attackers appear pretty promising. Leicester have been a much improved defensive unit of late, only conceding two goals in their last five matches, but having scored freely at both Chelsea and Man City, Jurgen Klopp’s men have shown their capabilities on the road against top opposition. Roberto Firmino (7.8) offers a genuine differential option with his ownership standing at just 2.6% in FPL, with the Brazilian currently playing out of position in the “false nine” role.

The matches against Norwich, Sunderland and Aston Villa should offer reasonable chances for defensive returns, but with Liverpool likely to concede in the other three matches over the next six Gameweeks, Reds defenders perhaps have a limited ceiling over the coming period. Alberto Moreno (4.9) should still represent decent value for Fantasy bosses, though.

Aston Villa
There have been signs of a mini-revival at Villa Park over the last two Gameweeks, and matches against West Brom and Norwich in the next three could prove profitable for the likes of Jordan Ayew (5.5). With West Ham, Liverpool, Stoke and Everton to face in their other four fixtures, though, it still looks unlikely that Villa attackers will make their way onto our radars any time soon.

At the other end of the pitch it looks much the same story, with the West Brom and Norwich clashes holding the most potential. Liverpool have struggled on the road to some of the sides towards the wrong end of the table, but with plenty of more appealing budget options for us to consider, the likes of Joleon Lescott (4.7) are probably unlikely to capture the imagination of FPL managers.

Bournemouth
Eddie Howe’s side have kept three clean sheets in their last five matches, and with some decent upcoming fixtures (sun, cpl, ARS, STO, wat, SOT), members of the Bournemouth backline could continue to pick up steady defensive returns. Charlie Daniels (4.5) definitely looks the pick of the bunch given he currently has penalty duties and loves to push forward from left-back.

The fixtures aren’t very favourable from an attacking point of view, though, so while Benik Afobe (6.1) got on the scoresheet against Norwich last time out, investment in any Cherries attacker appears unlikely to reap any significant rewards. Junior Stanislas (4.2) continues to feature in Howe’s first-team plans and retains some appeal as a cheap fifth midfielder, though it remains to be seen whether he’ll retain his start once Matt Ritchie is fit and Juan Iturbe finds his feet.

    Adding players like Klose (4.3m) at price points that don't end in a .0 or a .5 is new this year isn't it?

      I think someone said it was the same last year but I don't recall that to be the case.

        No its not. I realy like that player. Im saying that ppls on this site told me to sell him and to lose a huge value...he was season keeper for me..

          There are many people who overly rely on short them fixtures when making decisions. It's only natural that now that Evertons schedule looks better that people are bringing him back in again.

    2. il Brutto

      Agree altough I have no idea what I'm agreeing with.

        i am confused as well

  5. The Raging Bull
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What's the score with Adrian? close to a price drop. After this GW, could be a good acquisition for 4.9m. Has a penalty save or two in him.

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If only West Ham learnt to defend 😛

      1. The Raging Bull
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Villa (h)
        Southampton (a)
        Norwich (a)
        Sunderland (h)

        I'd say there's a chance of minimum 2 clean sheets in there.

        1. Sjaugen
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly. Looking to ditch Ward and they look as good as any.
          Any idea which defender to grab?

          1. The Raging Bull
            • 10 Years

            Reid at 4.8m

                8 years, 2 months ago

                hold, if West Ham concede a few against City, his price could drop to 4.7. 😉

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Newcastle at home are a decent proposition and have variance in attack. The same Newcastle who pounded Man U and came close to scoring against Arsenal, two defensively 'good' teams.

    I find it hard to look myself in the mirror sometimes when I have picks from certain clubs.
    LVG's version of United being one and WBA another..

    Some teams however I always like and am more than happy with those picks even if doomed.
    I'm glad Newcastle appear to be on the up and back in the game for picks...just need Palace to follow suit now.

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I can still get behind United but West Brom are horrible horrible horrible. Their players play foul , sometimes it seems they are purposely injuring their opponents

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I always admired the United brand of football of old. I can't be doing with the current rubbish. It's been more like chess at times.

        I like chess btw but I'd be bit miffed if it was shown as part of Super Sunday.

        1. Pochecinno
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Chess is more exciting. LVG's brand of football is like trying to play chess without losing any of your pawns

        2. Eden Hazardous
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Its boring European football at Man united atm with the wrong personnel. And I don't understand LVG at all as he has spent ~150 million....

          Ha! I like Chess , but only when I am playing 😛

    Would like to keep KDB but not enough $$$ for Kun. Or wait next week to do it?

      Good player.

        8 years, 2 months ago

        Sure is a good buy for Norwich
        Will surely play as a CAM but is down as a forward on FPL

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Won't matter. Some players playing CAM or even on the wing end up with more touches in the box, and shots, than the forwards.

          He played as a winger for Everton didn't he?

    1. Venom Snake

      Save. Keep an eye out for the Spurs squad to see if rose starts

      1. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Yes, hoping Davies plays tonight. I haven't done Stanislas ➡ Mirallas yet. Would you get rid of Arnie instead? I'm thinking of saving him for Stoke's 'turn of fixtures'.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          If your benching him this week you might as well sell. Keep Stanislas as 5th mid as you will need funds soon

          1. Pochecinno
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Stanislas good enough off the bench if Mirallas is a no-show? I suppose that's my bigger concern

            1. Venom Snake
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              That is the risk you take

              1. Pochecinno
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                Indeed. Cheers

              More likely to make a cameo than not appear at all I think

          2. F_Ivanovic
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Sorry I disagree. Leicester (A) isn't going to be easy for Stoke - I'm currently benching him this week too (between him, Mahrez and Alli for me) Plenty of easier fixtures on the horizon (bou/VIL/NEW) and at least he's a good bench option in case Mirallas is a no-show.

            Keep 2 transfers now and when the time comes that you want the funds to get a Sanchez in then go to a cheap 5h mid. Better to rotate now though.

    2. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Miralles is a nice punt. I'd rotate Miralles, Mahrez and Arnie rather than ship Arnie

      1. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Bench Arnie out of those this week?

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Definately

    Butland / Hennessey
    Smalling / Bellerin / Dawson / Simpson / Souare
    KdB / Ozil / Mahrez / Alli / Stanislas
    Aguero / Kane / Ighalo
    2 FT & 0.7 ITB

    A) Mahrez + Smalling -> Barkley/Payet + Ake/Daniels
    B) Ighalo + Smalling -> Lukaku + Ake

    Which looks better?

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B looks decent. I'd consider saving one transfer tho, teams solid

    Gabriele Ambrosetti on the coaching team at Swansea now!

    How do these Premier League misfits find their way back here.

    Slavisa Jokanovic & Remi Garde come to mind.

    Any utd fans around. Whats up with Herreras form? He usually does well when given the chance but he looks out of form atm

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Think he was much better last year in a 4-3-3 rather than as a number 10 in a 4-2-3-1. Fellaini was also better in that system so it's quite baffling why we've chosen to play a 4-2-3-1 without a number 10 (Mata's seen as a RW).

      Generally though, the whole team has been poor from an offensive POV, we've only really seen a few glimpses of Martial, Rooney (only in the last 3-4 games) and that's about it. Best performers have been defensive players like DDG, Smalling and Schneiderlin.

      no

    2. Pochecinno

      It would be good for Liverpool. I think he would know how to man-manage him

  17. Morgs
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Any changes to this team?

    Gomes
    Smith, Alder, Targett
    Payet, Mahrez, KDB, Ozil
    Lukaku, Kane, Kun

    Elliot, Alli, Bellerin, Moreno

    Thanks!

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not sure about your starting defence at all

      1. Morgs
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Smith (sun), Alder (cry), Targett (utd), Bellerin (CHE), Moreno (nor)

        Chelsea always do well against Arsenal so think clean sheet points are gonna be unlikely, and and Liverpool's defense at the moment is terrible.

        Plus United can't score at home at the moment...

        Can I ask which combo you would choose?

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Bench Smith and debate the attacking potential of the remaining 3, Sunderland and particularly Defoe are on fire. If Smith was Daniels I'd say go for it.

      2. il Brutto
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I'd bench both Simth and Targett and play Bellerin and Moreno.

  18. mikess
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Anything that maybe worth a hit?

    De Gea
    Baines, Alderweireld, Darmien
    Ozil, Mahrez, Payet, Alli
    Agüero, Rooney, Igalho

    Willian, Bellerin, Wollscheild

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney to Naismith

      Nice. Quite a few mild punts in there 😉

      1. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Need to stand out from the crowd. First green arrow was after a cheeky punt last week

    6. il Brutto
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd play Bellerin over Darmian especially as you have David in goal.

    Zarate looks to be on his way to Fiorentina, so West Ham may be in the market for another striker shortly...

        McCarthy, King, Wolly, Francis.

        not for me. Stoke to keep more CS's than Everton

  23. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Just looking at the BPS system and who has the most points throughout the season.... Yann M'Villa is 4th overall! He got 1 assist against Villa in their 3-1 win and came away with 2 BPs. 4.9 a bit pricey for a bench fodder defensive mid but he's not bad at all. More points than Hazard this season 😛

    1. drokkeh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      "More points than Hazard this season"

      ^ This isnt hard 🙂

    2. fancy111
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Pantilimon has more points than Hazard this season

  24. S.Agueroooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku or Aguero captain?

    1. fancy111
      • 8 Years

      The million dollar question it seems... I'm currently on Luk

  25. fancy111
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    The majority of Alli's points have come away from White Hart Lane... Alli (C)?

  26. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Francis ---> Daniels too sideways or worth it with no other pressing matters?

  27. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • 8 Years

    thinking of shipping out KDB/Mahrez next week for Silva/Wijnaldum or Payet. thoughts?

    1. JimmySnuka
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      City attacking potential in midfield seems a it cluttered, so not sure about KDB to Silva. Would definitely be shipping KDB though. Payet over Wijnaldum for me.

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        thanks. agree that City attack is cluttered, but Silva looked sharp last GW, and City is up against Sunderland next GW.

        KDB to Silva enables me too upgrade Mahrez to Payet or Wijnaldum

        1. JimmySnuka
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Might well be worth a punt so.

          1. JimmySnuka
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Maybe KDB to Firmino? I'm considering bringing him in. Likely to start up front in the "false no 9" for the next few games. Don't think Benteke is going to start for a while..

    1. Skogen89
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Im thinking of KDB --> Sanchez (when fit)
      Have also considered Mahrez --> Wijnaldum
