The Technical Area – Firmino’s Opening Gameweeks

Heading into the 2017/18 season, the Fantasy Premier League reclassification of Roberto Firmino from midfielder to forward was a source of much chatter.

Three Gameweeks in and Firmino has made fools of those of us who shied away.

The Brazilian sits joint-top in the overall standings on 26 points, having notched two goals, a pair assists, and twice taken home a maximum bonus points haul. Indeed, only Manchester United’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan (106) leads Firmino (101) in the Bonus Points System (BPS) to date.

Over this international break, interest in the Liverpool man has been understandably high. He has experienced one price hike already (from 8.5 to 8.6), and could possibly rise again between now and the Gameweek 4 deadline.

With Liverpool in rampant form – as evidenced by last week’s 4-0 demolition of Arsenal – Firmino offers managers an opportunity to save valuable funds by downgrading a premium forward option to a lower-priced alternative who has hitherto managed to outperform his more expensive rivals.

Here in the Technical Area, we thought that this week represented a good opportunity to dig into Firmino’s game in greater depth.

Specifically, we will be exploring how his profile compares to that of other FPL forwards and whether that early-season form can continue as the campaign unfolds.

    Kane's price drops tonight because he blanked for England! His price stopped dropping last week because he scored for England! I do not understand this game!

      Thank you Captain Obvious

      'Demand for a player who scores and less demand for a player who blanks, blasphemy!'

        It should not have an impact to your FPL team! Lukaku just scored 5 goals in 2 games for Belgium, I see people taking himout of their team.

      What's not to understand!

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years

        I don't understand the bit about him dropping tonight. I don't think he will for a few days yet.

        1. bojack
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Nope not close. -94 or something.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          6 years, 8 months ago

          He is on -94.6 and dropping in FPLstats, and projected to drop tonight by FFFix

          1. Pasqualinho
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            FFFix have had him dropping for about 5 days now. I think we can safely say they're overestimating.

              He is not dropping before next gw
              Maybe if he blanks Vs Stoke he will.

              1. Pasqualinho

                6 years, 8 months ago

                Everton, you mean? I think he might go before then - transfers will pick up after Wednesday.

              I was monitoring his price, they had him dropping until he scored against Malta, then it was removed. After today, they have him dropping again.

      2. ALegendJ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I do not understand the people who are doing their transfers based on international results.

    4. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lots of people are on the wildcard and need to decide whether he is worth including at that price...no goal today makes people wonder if 1 goal vs Malta is reason enough to bring him in, with a tricky fixture this weekend....meanwhile, Eriksen looks unstoppable

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        People with wildcard activated do not affect price changes..

        1. Seanigula
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I thought it did but to a lesser degree...but the same thought process applies....the majority of players are casuals who are loose with their transfers...I wouldn't bring him in now, but probably wouldn't waste a transfer to remove him....he's going to have to start scoring at an amazing rate to be a better choice then other cheaper options

      2. ALegendJ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        As I understand, transfers on wildcards do not affect the market, is that correct?

      Great Article.

      But I'm still sticking with Salah.

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Why is Salah so poor at getting bonus?

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Because he misses several chances, gets dispossessed a lot, shoots off target etc.

        Out of a test history of two games? give it time, maybe a signal of things to come but it is early days.

      3. Chenku╰☆╮

        Poor conversion and can o Lu score from 5 yards

      4. TheTwelfthMan
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Poor finisher, bad shot accuracy, 78% pass accuracy, misses big chances.

      thank you, good article. I have firmino so not buying into Liverpool kids just yet. When I do your article will influence my choice.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Mids not kids

      2. TheTwelfthMan

        I prefer Firmino over both of them too, personally. Pens is huge.

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years

          and baps

          1. TheTwelfthMan
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Baps as well, yeah. Plus the price. I'd honestly pay 10m for him, 8.6m is a steal and a half.

    7. SC not pearls before swine

      One thing to keep an eye on is if Mane is regularly subbed off early with the game won like he was against Arsenal. I think Liverpool are going to turn over a lot of teams this season and garbage time of a blowout can be a great time to run up fantasy numbers. Mane may start more games than Salah but if the minutes played wind up roughly equal that advantage is lessened.

  6. DIOCCÁ
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Here's a dilemma for you lot:

    Hazard + Brady

    or

    Mkhi + Antonio

    (other mids are Alli, Atsu, Carroll)

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mkhi and Brady.

      But if I had to choose, I'd pick the first one.

      1. DIOCCÁ
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Way to complicate things! 😀
        Fixtures are better for the next few for the first one...

        1. DIOCCÁ
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          No, actually, they're better for the second one...?

  8. Viper

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Save a FT?

    Foster

    Jones Mee Alonso (Hegazi Mbemba)

    Richarlison Eriksen Mhki Ramsey

    Kane Lukaku Chicarito

    1. We Will Klopp you

      Yep, looking good mate

  9. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Better combination?

    A) Fabianski, Mee & Simpson

    B) Foster, Naughton & Clark (Newcastle)

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      B but have Mee instead of Clark

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, would love to have Mee instead of Clark but unfortunately they clash in gw5, if I was sure Mbemba would be starting I'd go for it

  10. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hey guys, wondering if you could help me with something.

    What midfielders are good picks for 7.1m or below. My other midfielders are Atsu, Carroll, Salah and Pogba.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Only two that come to mind right now are Fabregas and Brady, Knockaert is one to monitor but Brighton don't look like scoring much

    2. AllanM
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Richarlison has decent attacking stats if you think Watford can continue with their early season form

              We are 3 weeks into the season dude.... Stick with that team and come back to me at GW38.

              1. StalkingDwarf
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                People said the same thing last season about Aguero and Ibra.

                1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 8 months ago

                  Some people yes, but not me. Not having one of either Kane or Lukaku is silly (IMO)

                  1. StalkingDwarf
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 8 Years
                    6 years, 8 months ago

                    I'm saying this as someone with both Kane and Lukaku. I think both will have phenomenal seasons. They are not necessary. You get points from your starting XI, not from 2 players. You could easily spend money elsewhere and match/beat their points. Sure, individually they might be great goal scorers, but other cheaper combinations can be made and still match their points.

              2. Heavy Data
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                Your on!! I'll make another profile on FPL and stick this team in and leave it until the end of the season and see what happens. But realistically im not going with this squad.

                1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 8 months ago

                  My point is 3 Gameweeks are not the biggest indicator of who not to go for. Xhaka is up there!

                  Look at Kane's stats! Look at Lukaku's ownership.

                  1. StalkingDwarf
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 8 Years
                    6 years, 8 months ago

                    Ownership means nothing imo. At the end of they day it's about points. If Lukaku stops scoring, who's laughing? Not the 58%. The flip side can be applied too. I think he should get who he thinks will get the most points, regardless of ownership. I think ownership only applied late in the season when you are trying to maintain your rank.

                    1. Heavy Data
                      • 7 Years
                      6 years, 8 months ago

                      The way i look at this team i have put together is that having Pogba and Miki should cover the points that Lukaku scores. The same goes for having Eriksen and Alli to cover Kane.

            2. Seanigula
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              I agree with you that those mids may be better options for points vs cost...I'd want someone like Lukaku for captaining. I think he is more like to score and to score higher on a weekly basis then Mik (I don't feel that way about Kane at this point)

              1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                Exactly - nightmare picking a captain with those mids.

          • 8 Years

          I like it. Just not sold on Mounie. Would rather have a 4th defender or a Swansea attacker instead.

        4. MTPockets
            6 years, 8 months ago

            I'd upgrade Mounie, downgrade GK/defence on that formation.

          Think i'm sorted on my WC team. Maybe Alli -> Eriksen?

          Foster
          Jones - Cedric - Naughton - Hegazi
          Salah - Mhiki - Alli
          Kane - Lukaku - Firmino

          Subs: Elliot, Carroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

            Looks good. Personally I would rather have Eriksen but Alli is just as good.

            Good team, stick with Alli as no CL games for first 3.

                You're on WC. Think about who you want long term. Alli might be better for the next 3 but I wouldn't base a WC decision on just that. Mind you Alli could outscore Eriksen long term as well.

          3. I Member
            • 8 Years

            I can't find a team I'm happy with if I have Kane, Lukaku and Firmino up top. This is not a bad team by any means, it's good, I just don't feel comfortable with having to play Naughton, Carroll or Chalobah every week. Hegazi could also lose his place with Evans back.

            1. Turns
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Thanks for the views. Agreed, but there has to be a sacrifice somewhere. Just believe best points return for cheap options are in defence. Will ship out Hegazi if Evans takes his spot. Swansea have tasty fixtures for the next 4 GW or so, meaning Naughton offers short term value

              1. I Member
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                Naughton will definitely be in my team. Right now I have Bertrand, Brady and Morata in place of Hegazi, Carroll and Lukaku, otherwise our teams are the same. No Lukaku does scare me.

                  1. So I can flag something I think is Hot Topic material? (use the flag option for good)

                  2. Can the feature be abused? Say I get triggered by all the Alli jokes and flag all of them - what happens?

                  (I loved the Alli jokes - wouldn't do that. Just wondering what happens when trigglypuff arrives)

          City v Liverpool could have few goals so is Firmino worth giving captaincy to over Kane or Lukaku?

            • 8 Years

            I would if I was 100% confident he's going to start. He probably will but I'm always wary of South Americans returning from international break.

            1. I Member
              • 8 Years

              If Kompany is out it makes it even more appealing.

            • 8 Years

            Liverpool do have quite a good record against the top 6. Could work well with Liverpool's scoring form, but I wouldn't do it personally. Too risky for me.

              B although an annoying price point if doesn't work out.

              I'd rather have none. I would wait to see how Lanzini changes the team when he plays again.

              If I had to choose, I think Chicarito slightly edges it.

            Best pairing?

                    He made a Hot Topic about. Happened near the beginning of the break.

                        I thought his team looked good before the wildcard personally. To be fair though, many wildcarded around the same time last season and worked well with it.

              Thoughts on Jones?

              over 8 seasons only scored over 100 once (108 2011/12) 2 goals in 8 seasons, average about 65 points, and rarely plays half a season

              whilst under Mourinho he's an obvious pick at 5.1, perhaps long term we are kidding ourselves that he is worth it?

              Maguire/Mawson a better pick in that price range? attacking returns and more nailed with less injuries

              what do we think ffs comrades?

                He's been playing very well with Bailly. Putting in great defensive performances. I don't see Lindeloff displacing him soon. I think his price for a way into the stable United defence is a steal.

                pick him while he's scoring points

                Only takes a transfer to get rid.

                Foster for me.

                WBA or Swansea are cheap options for the foreseeable .

                  Already have Naughton, Carroll and Abraham though. Fabianski would have been ideal.

              I am slightly satisfied with my team but need some more edge and got 1,9 in the bank.

              Foster, Eliott

              Alderweireld, Jones, Cedric, Schindler, Mbemba

              Mane, Dele Ali, Eriksen, Willian, Carrol

              Lukaku, Firmino, J.Ayew

              I am in a wildcard so free to move, what should i do uppgrade Carrol or Ayew or the defense?
              Any suggestion is welcome.

                Toby>Davies, more assist/goal threat
                Willian>Pogba or Mkhi
                Keep the change

                  *or get Tammy*

                    Yes i will def change for Davies, thanks. I dont want any more United players tho.
                    Ill think Ayew is favour over Tammy to play because he got 90 minuts in everygame and Bony is more simular to Tammy.
