Moving Target

Moving Target – Saido Berahino

In what has been one of the most protracted transfer sagas in Premier League history, Stoke City finally got their man last Friday, signing West Bromwich Albion forward Saido Berahino for a guaranteed £12 million, which could rise to a possible £15 million.

The 23-year-old has signed a five-and-a-half year contract with the Potters and could even be in line to make his debut against Everton on February 1.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Stoke boss Mark Hughes believes Berahino can kick-start his career after a difficult few years in the wilderness at West Brom:

“He has a lot of untapped potential. Clearly, he is a player of good talent and somebody who has a lot of growth in the game still to come. He has already displayed his talents in the Premier League and proven that he can score goals at this level, which was a real attraction not only to us, but also to a lot of other clubs who were interested in him. I just feel that he has the potential to be the striker that we have been looking for for a long time – he is capable of creating chances and he is certainly capable of converting chances too.”

The History

Born in Burundi, Berahino moved to England at the age of 10, and linked up with the West Bromwich Albion academy a year later.

He progressed all the way to the first-team, signing his first professional contract in the summer of 2011.

Berahino spent loan spells at then League Two side Northampton Town and then League One outfit Brentford during the 2011/12 campaign, scoring six goals in 14 league appearances for the Cobblers, while he struck four times in eight outings for Brentford.

He made his West Brom debut in a League Cup tie against Yeovil Town in August 2012, before joining Championship side Peterborough United on loan.

In 10 league appearances for Peterborough, Berahino registered two goals and a pair of assists, but he’d have to wait until the 2013/14 season to make his Premier League debut for the Baggies.

Berahino gained the support of then Baggies boss Steve Clarke and would enjoy a successful first season in the top flight, registering five goals and two assists in 32 outings.

The 2014/15 campaign then saw Berahino really establish himself as one of the most promising young forwards in the Premier League, totalling 14 goals and one assist from 38 appearances.

But Berahino has struggled over the past 18 months, firstly managing just four goals in 31 matches in 2015/16, while he has featured only four times in the Premier League this season.

Berahino has represented England in all the age groups through to the U21s, but despite being called up to the senior squad in November 2014, the striker has yet to make his full debut.

The Prospects

Given that Stoke have been in desperate need of a striker for a number of seasons, and are long-time suitors of Berahino, everything looks to be in place for the 23-year-old to fulfil his potential at the bet365 Stadium.

As Hughes touched upon in his quotes, Berahino is a player who boasts many different qualities.

His finishing is probably his main strength, with his predatory instincts similar to those of a player such as Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe.

The problem in the short-term at least is it’s been a while since we saw Berahino burst onto the scene, and with the forward having been the subject of some off the field issues in recent years, it’s his attitude that will be under the microscope just as much as his football.

His fitness levels will also be interesting to assess at Stoke, given that Tony Pulis twice sent him to France earlier this season to undergo specialist programmes.

From a footballing point of view, Berahino has proven he can operate as a lone striker and could thrive in the 4-2-3-1 formation currently being used by Hughes.

Marko Arnautovic, Joe Allen and Xherdan Shaqiri provide plenty of creativity from the attacking midfield positions and could be well suited to playing alongside a frontman such as Berahino, who also offers an option on the left flank.

But the former West Brom forward also enjoyed success alongside a “target man” such as Victor Anichebe, and given that Hughes has experimented with many different formations this season, he could also thrive alongside current first-choice Peter Crouch in either a 3-5-2 or perhaps even a 4-4-2.

That could see Allen drop into a slightly deeper midfield role, though, which would hurt the stock of the 11.5% owned midfielder.

Interestingly, Crouch has come out this week and said he would relish the chance to form a strike partnership with Berahino, similar to the one he and Defoe struck up earlier in his career:

“Hopefully with Berahino coming in we can work together rather than replacing each other. I had a fantastic relationship with Jermain Defoe and it would be great to try to get that kind of partnership going with Saido. Obviously, I’ve played up there with Jon Walters before he got his injury and if that’s the case then it would be great.”

There’s little doubt the acquisition has placed some doubt as to whether Crouch will remain a regular starter for the Potters, though, which will come as a blow to his 4.1% ownership in Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

His place may well be safe in the short-term, however, given that it’s unlikely Berahino will have the required match sharpness to make an immediate impact on Hughes’ first XI.

The uncertainty clearly isn’t great news regarding the prospects for either player, then, given that Stoke have a pretty kind run of fixtures (EVE, wba, CPL, tot, MID) over the next month or so.

After starting the season priced at 6.5 in FPL, Berahino is now available for just 6.0.

Considering that the new signing would also seem likely to claim Stoke’s spot-kicks, that price, once an established figure in Hughes’ side, begins to look very attractive.

If Hughes is able to bring the best out of the 23-year-old, that could well prove to be something of a bargain over the coming months. But with Crouch in such great form of late, and uncertainty surrounding Berahino’s fitness levels, it may take some time before we see the new boy establish himself in the starting XI.

      What happens if you haven't subbed Aké yet and now you have 3 Burnley players + Snoddy aswell.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Good question.....

      Curious to know who the third Burnley player in your team is?
      Barnes, Heaton and?

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Mee of course

        It's a joke

  2. Pep says
    • 8 Years

    What happens if I play four (keeper included) players that are unavailable. Will all 4be automatically substituted or is there an auto subs limit of 3??

    1. Sess!
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      All subs can and will be used

  3. Jafooli

    Just put 'for my car keys' in the search bar. Still haven't found them.

    Membership fee back?

      Is your car still there?

  4. The Big Fella

    For those chasing in mini leagues, which differentials are you planning on bringing in/have already brought in and why?

    1. sheixt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ability.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I wish I were as good as you

        1. sheixt
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Lol, excuse the stupid response.... although to be fair many people that fill out my mini leagues are part-timers and so it's not hugely difficult.

          Who's in your team already to consider other differentials?

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Pickford Grant
            Alonso Baines McAuley Ake Holgate
            Sanchez Lallana Alli Stanislas Phillips
            Ibra Aguero Anichebe
            1.8m ITB
            I am debating Lallana to Antonio and Holgate to Coleman but Holgate himself might be a cheap way of picking up points. Ake to Yoshida maybe. Aguero has 3 games to bring in hauls or he is gone.

    2. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Antonio/Mirallas are on the watchlist as of this week.
      But new options seem to pop out every week and show some form like lanzini , thriving very well without Payet hogging the ball I assume .
      The former two due to almost being OOP, average positions last week were higher up than Carroll and Lukaku Acc to what I know .

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Antonio is on my list too. Very seriously debating Lallana to Antonio. Mirallas rarely plays a full game though.

        1. Toure The Route
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Agreed
          Antonio> Mirallas

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Attacking full backs. Rose and Coleman for me.

    4. sheixt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Getting on bandwagons early is almost more beneficial than a full-blown differential. You'll get the price rises and the points before others in mini-leagues.

      I got on Eriksson & Alonso early. Rose has served me well.

      1. Toure The Route
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Nice point

      2. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I debated Alonso for weeks when he was 5.9 but there was always something more pressing. When I eventually did bring him in, everybody else already had too.

    5. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Cedric and Brunt are my biggest differentials at the moment, along with Alli captain this week. Keeping a close eye on Jesus too.

      Also, keeping on top tactically is important to me. I have a deep squad, hoping that others fail to prepare for non-fixtures, and hoping rotation will work out for me.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I've just got rid of Cedric.... and then he got a double point haul. He is so frustrating.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I don't understand getting rid of him, unless for Brunt or premium defender. He was coming back from injury with great fixtures. I had Bertrand too, and just sold him this week, but only because Brunt is better value.

          Antonio also worth looking at, as others have said.

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Because, I bought him 8-9GW ago and then he didn't play fr 2 games. In those 2 games, S'ton got 2 clean sheets. Then he started and got 2 points. The S'ton conceded 4 goals and he got 0 points. Then he played 5 minutes and didn't play at all the following game and then the other game he got 1 point. At this point I sold him. I brought in Baines. Much better and less of a troll.

  5. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Got Yoshida in last GW, thinking he play alongside VvD.

    Might now sell him next GW for Stephens.

    #everypennycounts

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That VvD 3 month thing confirmed?

      Southampton will surely have to get another CB now?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Buy back Fonte from West Ham?

        Wonder if that's ever happened in the same transfer window? Or al player sold to one club, who then sell him to another in the same window?

        1. Toure The Route
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Would pay to see this happen

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Look up Didi Hamann and his one day move to Bolton in 2006.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietmar_Hamann#Manchester_City

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years

            Wow, remember him....

        3. McEwan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Somehow Robert Jarni went to Coventry before Real Madrid wanted him and he ended up there very quickly! Must be one of the biggest gaps in terms of clubs!

  6. IWR
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Baines, Daniels, Brunt (Chambers, Yoshi)
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Phillips (Stan)
    Ibra, Lukaku, Gru

    A) Daniels-Rose
    B) Daniels

    1. IWR
      • 8 Years

      B) Daniels-Alonso
      C) Stan-Carroll and Gru-Kane
      D) Save 1FT

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years

      B

  7. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Are Sane or Jesus likely to start against Swansea?

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Won'tknow until the press conferences

      1. Sess!
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Won't know after them either

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Haaha true. Pep did imply post-match that Sane would be a more regular starter now though.... Who knows with him though. He'll probably play him net. That said, he can't be worse than Bravo.

    2. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Likely but don't know which one
      Sane IMO looked very good himself, I think he is very likely to take the left flank.
      Only problem is Pep changes formations every week almost, some players fit some systems for him , things like that.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        If had that squad, I'd have Jesus one wing and Sane on the other with Aguero up front. Pep will of course not do this, but that is what I would do.

        1. Toure The Route
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yea looks very desirable to do that
          Which means Sterling will be left out but can't see that happening
          Pep still believes Sterling has potential to be unlocked ,
          So as I said, either way you look at it for now, those three might get rotated in all likelihood. Too much chaos there .
          But some gobsmackingly tasty fixtures for sure

    3. tikitakaFC
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sane will for sure start more games now. Every game hes played hes looked dangerous and direct. As a city fan I hope he plays more often.

      In terms of FPL I would wait for the Swansea game to start him, he seems to thrive on pitches, having said that west hams new ground is massive too. Plus pep just can't afford to drop any points to teams outside the the top 6.

      Im so tempted to put him in this week, but ill wait till swansea game.

  8. Delhidynamo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Help me bench one from

    A. Barnes(LEI)
    B. Defoe (TOT)

    and

    1. Holgate (sto)
    2. Alonso (liv)

    1. sheixt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B1

      1. sheixt
        • 8 Years

        Sorry meant A1

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A1

    3. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A1
      As bad as Leicester are it should be a tight 1-0 or 0-0 game most likely .
      Defoe has the quality plus good at home games.

  9. A.T
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Any ideas what to do here?

    Heaton Robinson
    Alonso Lovren Chambers Amat clackstone
    Hazard Alli Sanchez Phillips de Roon
    Kane lukaku Ibra

    1ft, 0.1itb

    I'm thinking Hazard to Barkley/Eriksen maybe.
    Is triple Spurs attack too much?
    Barkley allows more funds for the defence.

    1. sheixt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I just did the Haz to Ali (already having Eriksson) move... Not completely comfortable having 3 Spurs (as I have Rose too) but I figure having both Ali & Erik is only a short lived thing.... I'll move one on once form dictates.

      With that front 3 do you need more money in defence? Surely you're going to be going 3-4-3?

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        2 non playing defs though

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

      Barkley and save room for one of Walker and Rose

    3. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd consider saving Timbo? 2 x FTs soon to become very handy.

      Although who is Clackstone?

      1. A.T

    4. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      i'm looking at Barkley.
      Could be a good differential with fixtures as well as releasing a chunk of funds.

  10. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Best sub 8,5m option for upcoming weeks?

    A. Pogba
    B. Siggy
    C. Liverpool option (Lallana, Cout or Firm)
    D. Someone else

    Leaning towards A with fixtures in mind.

    Your thoughts?

    1. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Already have Alli (and 2 other Spurs assets) so Eriksen is not an option

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

      A OR B

    3. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If A blanks in 26,28 will you still have him?
      I'd go B or C (Cout/Firm) easily.

      Pogba is still inconsistent and plays a bit deeper naturally.
      Siggy partnering Llorente with set pieces looks much more consistent , as is the team who have scored the most goals in the league.

      Just remember Siggy and Firmino are already pretty big differentials right now, pogba is just a plain risk.

    4. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Pedro, Ramsey, Antonio, Tadic interesting options

    Heaton
    Alonso, Rose, Brunt, Coleman, Amat
    Sanchez, Eriksen, Alli, Lallana, Phillips
    Ibrahimovic, Defoe, Rondon

    Already used my two frees to do Francis & Hazard > Coleman & Eriksen...

    Thoughts on Lallana > Sigurdsson - 4?

      No, Liverpool play Hull next week.

      Not worth a hit

    Hi, All. Tough to keep my transfer this week, but I probably should. Thoughts?

    Foster
    Cedric - Williams - Daniels
    Sanchez (C) - Eriksen - Lallana - Phillips
    Ibra - Giroud - Kane (vc)

    Grant; DeRoon, Holebas, Amat

    1.9 ITB, 1 FT

    A) Lallana > Barkley/Sterling (punt)
    B) Holebas > Rose/Walker and play a 4-4-2 with Lallana on bench
    C) Save

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

      If I don't take a hit this week, I've opted for something similar to B

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thoughts on keeping Holebas for next week? Burnley (H), could see a CS and attacking return.

        I have no other transfers to make anyways, so might go to Rose.

        If I do, which 2 of Rose, Daniels, Lallana?

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

          Play the two defenders. Holebas may indeed get a haul the following week but overall is now a fairly poor option imo

    2. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Holebas to Walker , Phillips on the bench ?

    3. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      4-4-2 with those fixtures will again deliver this week, will be a good differential in itself .
      Lots of games will be tight by the looks of it so pts for Phillips/Lallana look less likely than a CS for those 4 defenders.

    4. IWR
      • 8 Years

      I like Holebas-Rose in your position mate. I don't own him but if I did he'd be 100% going this week and Rose looks a great buy.

      Think you've convinced me to grab him too.

      Holebas will continue to rack up yellows and -2's. Get rid while you can

      1. IWR
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I think I'd also go Kane C if I had him this week.

  15. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Niang going to Watford

    Watch out for him, could be a steal if he is 7m or less

    1. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      no Watford player is a steal mate

  16. IWR
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else not have Alonso and feel the boat may have sailed?

    Rose could out score him from here, or at the very least keep pace.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I dropped him for his haul, not planning on getting him back. Think I'll go with Rose and almost like him more, see my situation a few posts above. Thoughts?

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

      Cahill, Walker, Brunt/McAuley and Coleman/Baines capable of competing if you can't stretch to Alonso

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

      I have both and was lucky enough to get Alonso at 5.9.

      If you have spare funds I'd say worth it given he has a clean sheet or attacking points in basically every match he's played.

      If it's a question of Rose or Alonso, I agree that Rose can easily keep pace

      1. IWR
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I've got the cash for him but I'm sure paying 6.6 will limit me down the track.

        Sold on a WC the week he hauled after buying for 6.3 a while back.

        Feel like Rose at 6.1 is the best bet for a fresh start? Got a feeling he'll have plenty of points in him from here.

        1. Guba
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          If I didn't have either at this point I'd get rose. Personally prefer walker based on yc's

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

    Foster (Pickford)
    Brunt, Rose, Alonso, Chambers (Wasilewski)
    Sanchez, Mikhy, Phillips, Alli (Davies)
    Aguero, Kane (Crouch)

    Anything worth changing here? 1FT and 1.8 itb, was saving for an upgrade to Crouch if/when he loses pitch time.

    Alli,Sanchez, Zlatan,Kane - Best captain shout for next week ?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years

      Sanchez

    Afternoon All

    I have the following;

    Heaton
    Van Dijk, Azpilicueta, McCauly
    Alli, Eriksen, Lallana, Philips
    Carroll, Iba, Lukaku

    Subs:- Jakupovic, Allen, Ake, Nsue.

    Now Nsue has gone to Birmingham, I have used my transfer this window for Alli over Hazard. I have £2.2m in the bank.

    What would you do? Nsue for Brunt? But then I have two WBA defenders? Maybe Baines?

  20. saikado
    • 10 Years

    Ake to Brunt or Funes Mori?

  21. adam28193

    How many players are we hoping to have for GW28?! I've looked at it and I see 3 games being played..

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      How can you tell? Do you know the draw for the next round of the cup? If you do, can you let me know as I need to somehow pay for a new kitchen.

  22. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Yoshida or Holgate ???

  23. Deus
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    GTG?

    Heaton (Foster)
    Gibson, McAuley, Baines (Alonso, Mee)
    Sanchez(C), Alli, Philips, Stanislas (Antonio)
    Kane, Ibra, Crouch

    I doubt Alonso the most.

  24. Kane Train

  25. ♤TeddyBear♤
    • 9 Years

    Am I reading this wrong or do Man City blank in GW26 if united get in the final?

    1. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think that happens.

  26. ♤TeddyBear♤
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Tottenham and liverpool dont blank in GW26 right? So im safe to bring them in?
