Assessing The Coleman Replacements

1,070 Comments
Share

As one of the most popular and consistent defenders in Fantasy Premier League, Seamus Coleman’s season-ending injury has sent many managers scouring the market in search of a replacement.

More than 153,000 have parted company over the international break, with Antonio Valencia, Leighton Baines and Kyle Walker currently the three most popular alternatives for the Irishman’s former owners.

With double Gameweek drama set to get underway in Gameweek 34, though, many are already starting to piece together their Wildcard plans for the run-in.

For now, then, a short-term replacement for Coleman, taking care of the next four rounds of fixtures, may well be enough for most before we start to focus further on the doubles.

In this latest article for Members, we mine the data to assess some of the main candidates across the price brackets.

    Sadio Mane scored the fastest hat-trick in Premier League history
    (2 mins 56 secs) in May 2015 in THE EARLY SATURDAY KICK OFF.

    It was against Aston Villa though (sorry Villa fans!).

    The lad obviously doesn't mind getting up early, Captain material this week?

      Cedric is a bit of a troll.... I do think C though. No way you can stretch to Bertrand or go with Stephens (same defensive benefit but a lot cheaper)?

          He's played 90mins the last 5 games give or take (might be 6) for 90 mins and kept 1 or 2 CS (can't be bothered checking I'm knackered, sorry lad). No goals or assists or BPS but seems to be a guaranteed starter, for the time being, for 4m.

      Should have said. If I McAuley -> Cedric then Mee is benched.

      Also, the captain dilemma is in full swing... Costa seems a popular choice, but there's big potential for him to blank. Alli maybe?

        Yeah the point is i need a good bench as well as a starting 11. I need to bring a certain player before price changes (such as Pedro). Need to use my free transfer, need to consider future fixtures, need to get rid of long term injured players (Antonio).
