Team Analysis – Assessing Clement’s Swansea

783 Comments
Share

Having checked up on Hull City’s progress under Marco Silva, we now take time to assess Paul Clement’s impact on the fortunes of Swansea City.

Wins against Palace, Liverpool, Southampton and Leicester in six matches since the new manager’s appointment have lifted the Welsh outfit out of the bottom three and brought them to the attention of Fantasy Premier League managers.

Swansea’s upcoming schedule has heightened their appeal as a means to navigate the blanks brought on by domestic cup postponements – indeed, they are one of only eight sides set to offer a fixture in both Gameweek 26 and 28.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Feel like I now have to get a Liverpool mid in for GW28 even though their fixtures around it are bobbins.

    Heaton to Jakupovic for a hit could well pay off over the next 4 fixtures, maybe even this week. Feels weird ditching Heaton, especially for a hit but Burnley's fixtures are not looking good at all !

        I can understand why, many wouldn't, but Burnley's away record is awful, they only have 5 home games left between now and the end of the season, 2 of which are Man U and Spurs. Hull on the other hand have some great fixtures and Jakupovic is just as likely to get save points as Heaton.

      no feels like a Waste
      Phillips has just been unlucky last few Game weeks.Could easily had goal or two and 2-3 assists.When you see his Total points tally so far and his price it just shows he has been a brilliant value .If he had scored those or Rondon scored with his assists then he would have been over 130 points easily....That's brilliant for a 5.8 mid...

        The only fixture I would play Heaton over Jakupovic between now and the DGW's is when Hull face City in 32. I'd rather have the extra .7 WC will be at play before DGW anyway. I'd feel comfortable playing Jakupovic every fixture between now and then but not Heaton as Burnley away record is awful, rotation makes no sense with those 2 in my opinion.

        I'm gradually talking myself out of a Lukaku captaincy... you look at the average position of the opposition's backline when Lukaku hauls and my hypothesis is "Lukaku tends to score better against teams with high backlines'' and then you look at Sunderland's backline (especially away from home) under Moyes and they're ridiculously deep... A little unscientific and I'll probably look at it in more detail nearer the deadline but I think this may be being overlooked...

    A week ago, I felt like we couldn't lose regardless of the result in the Bayern match, yet we still managed to find a way. Now I feel like we can't win today, either we throttle a weaker team and prove nothing, struggle against a plucky upstart, or absolutely implode with an all-time shocker. It's all just so gross.

    So, just fired up Football Manager 2017 and started a Juve save. Can't say I watch a lot of Serie A, so first thing I notice is that teams are allowed to name 12 subs in league games. Just throwing this out there, pros and cons of a similar system here in the PL?

    Initial thoughts are that it could be a great idea - particularly over the congested winter period. Might perhaps allow for more youth team prospects to have a run in the first team as well.

          I think it's neither 343 or 352 which to my style and thinking doesn't maximise the budget.

          Obviously you feel going forward you need cash hence the chat about keeper transfer but surely there's a bit to be made sorting your structure out.

          Although at the minute for me the focus should be navigating blank gws.

              Brunt, Alonson and Coleman have strong attacking threat. Think of them as mids. Brunt especially at home.

              Evans strong CS

              Maguire strong CS - against woeful Burnley away attack.

              Nothing wrong with that.

              This is probably the most riskfree week to play that quintet.

              good luck.

                Thanks Jonty, I'm looking at playing 5-4-1 formation this GW. But was relying on that back 5

      They probably only have 14 players on the books

      I would just love to see a Sutton v Lincoln 1/4 final - the winner to play at Wembley

    My squad as it stands for GW 28:

    Grant
    Alonso McAuley Holebas
    Ali De Roon Hazard Phillips
    Costa Llorente

    Subs:Pickford,Love,Sanchez,Ibra & Friend

    2 FT and 0.5 ITB

    What's the best option regarding GW 28?

    A) Ibra > Lukaku (bank 2 FT for GW 27

    B) Sanchez > Mane (bank 2 FT's for GW 27)

    C) Ibra & Sanchez > Lukaku & Mane (don't bank any for GW 27)

    Do we think Westbrom can keep a CS at home to Bournemouth and if so is it worth doubling up on their defence this GW

          Guess it depends on who you would play instead but I'm doubling up with Foster and Nyom. Brunt and Evans sounds a lot better than what I have so I'd do it.

      I think they will but I wouldn't make a transfer that's dependent on a clean sheet.

      They can but I don't think they will. Even so, nothing wrong with doubling up. McAuley and Brunt capable of attacking points.
