Transfers

Market Forces – Gameweek 7

Sergio Aguero’s unfortunate Amsterdam collision saved many Fantasy managers from another weekend behind the sofa.

But the curveball of the Argentine’s motor vehicle mishap sparked a flurry of transfer activity late in the week, which has granted his former owners a wad of spare cash.

That, together with a weekend of contrasting fortunes for some major Fantasy assets has dictated the market trends as we ease into the second international break.

Continuing our series of weekly articles, we at whogottheassist.com are reviewing and commenting on patterns and behaviours in the market, looking at common themes and giving our view on the viability of the transfers taking place.

Kane gains from pranged Aguero and pinged Morata

The enforced departure of the unfortunate Aguero (sold by 129,000+ so far for this round) caused a spike in interest across all the premium striker options prior to the weekend matches.

Managers chose between Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku, the straight swap to Jesus, the in-form Alvaro Morata or the gamble on Alexandre Lacazette’s Emirates form ahead of Brighton’s visit.

All bar Jesus enjoyed a pre-Gameweek rise in price, but the replacements suffered mixed fortunes.

Kane’s third consecutive away brace in the Premier League provided reassurance for those nervy of the early armband.

That prompted a rise to 12.6 on Monday morning and more than 203,000 new owners so far.

People are continuing to cast Aguero aside for the Spurs hitman, with 45,000+ making that swap since Saturday’s deadline.

Not surprisingly, a huge swathe of Kane’s new ownership has also streamed from Morata. It’s the Gameweek’s second most popular swap, with 59,000 transactions.

The latest in a long line of de-railed bandwagons, Morata lasted just 34 minutes in the Gameweek 7 clash with Man City, having gone into that match backed by 519,000 new owners.

Indeed, cruelly, it was Morata who went into Gameweek 7 as the most favoured replacement for Aguero. More than 206,000 managers moved from the stricken City striker, only to see their replacement break down early on Saturday evening.

Morata was the most bought last week, the most sold this. Over 204,000 managers have ejected him from their squad. Confirmation of his twanged hamstring – a grade two tear – has only accelerated the sales since Saturday’s early withdrawal.

Chelsea have strong fixtures to come but, according to reports, Morata could face anything from two to four, or even eight, weeks on the sidelines.

However, not content with the Spanish FA’s scans and prognosis, Chelsea are reportedly running their own tests. Only when we have confirmation will we know the length of Morata’s absence, if indeed he is to miss Gameweek 8. Morata himself has only recently taken to Instagram to stress that he is still targeting that match against Palace, only for the post to be edited sometime later.

However, the impact on the market has already been significant, although Kane has not been the most popular benefactor of the Morata fallout.

Jesus has seen his stock boom, despite claiming just an assist from Gameweek 7.

He has picked up 132,000 new owners since the deadline, with many pinpointing him as a route into the highly productive City attack with Aguero sidelined. Over 62,000 have made the swap from Morata, with the two strikers sitting in the same bracket at 10.4 and 10.5.

In contrast, Lacazette has simmered following a fruitless 70 minutes against Brighton. He has suffered over 33,000 sales and almost an identical number of acquisitions. Over 12,000 of those selling have swapped straight to Kane, with 8000+ moving to Jesus.

Romelu Lukaku went into Gameweek 7 bolstered by a gain of 248,000 managers. They were rewarded with just a single goal against the listless Crystal Palace, causing disappointment for those who were anticipating a double-digit haul.

That has significantly reduced interest in the Belgian, who is heading for a modest increase in ownership ahead of the Gameweek 8 deadline. Currently, 45,000+ have acquired Lukaku for the Liverpool visit, with almost 39,000 releasing the United striker.

Over 17,000 have swapped for Kane as their replacement, with Jesus again picking up traffic here, claiming 8,400 new owners.

The volatile trading of the big-hitting forwards is set to run and run, with the funds tied up in these players allowing for many combinations.

One thing is certain: Kane is currently dominant, with Jesus also enjoying a renaissance with his fixtures and his monopoly on a City starting role.

However, we should not discount the impact that another Wembley blank for Kane, or news of an early Aguero return, would have on the market coming out of Gameweek 8.

Mkhitaryan bosses less than impressed

Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s 1.7 million owners would have identified the Palace home match-up as a source of points for a player who has been United’s creator-in-chief so far.

However, the disappointing 65-minute blank that followed has prompted many to dispense with the playmaker’s services, with over 75,000 having sold him since Saturday.

Over 13,000 have made the straight swap to the cross-city creator David Silva, whose strong fixtures after the break look a key attraction for buyers: he has over 85,000 new owners so far.

We wrote just two weeks ago that Mkhitaryan was the first player to rise 0.5 since the start of the season, but with fixtures stiffening, consecutive blanks and the rising attractiveness of other similarly priced options, the bubble looks to be bursting.

Defenders make their point once more

Another double-figure performance by Spurs’ Ben Davies has seen interest in the Welshman spike once more, with 109,000+ new owners gained since Saturday.

A key asset sold off by those moving on Davies is Eric Bailly, who has been dumped by more than 46,000 so far after his unexpected rest against Palace. More than 10,000 of those have gone straight to Davies.

It was a week where a few defences – Arsenal, Bournemouth, City and United – also kept a clean sheet, but one player who deserves to be singled out is Burnley’s unsung hero Stephen Ward.

His assist and all three bonus points elicited 12 points as the Clarets shocked Everton at Goodison Park. Ward now ranks top for points per million value and is in the top ten for transfers-in, with over 63,000 new managers prompting his rise to 4.6.

As we’ve seen with West Brom’s Ahmed Hegazi, with the cheaper defenders it’s very much the case of being in the right place at the right time and, in this price bracket, there may well be a shelf life involved.

However, Burnley’s current form is strong, and Ward might even give his new owners a 0.2 profit, as enjoyed by Hegazi’s early adopters.

Not a dazzler, Bobby

The final encounter of the weekend delivered early disappointment as news filtered through that Roberto Firmino – seemingly the ideal third striker in the early Gameweeks – was benched for Liverpool’s trip to Newcastle.

Firmino has lost his place in 90,000+ teams so far, with Harry Kane (21,000 new owners from Firmino swaps) Jamie Vardy (17,000) and Jesus (almost 10,000) the main beneficiaries of the Brazilian’s gradual decline.

Vardy is a replacement in the same bracket, but with Aguero and Morata funds also in the mix, managers could be conducting significant surgery and using their stack of cash to step up from Firmino.

Final thoughts

We will continue to see movement in the market as managers redistribute funds they may have released from selling Aguero and now Morata.

The impact of this will reverberate in the market for weeks to come.

The upcoming international break also seems to be a time that many have decided to pull out their Wildcard, though just 66,000 have activated so far.

We’d caution those managers not to expect the explosive rises we’ve seen previously from day-to-day.

If anything, this is the time to avoid continuing falls from the likes of Dele Alli, Mohamed Salah and Firmino.

Selling off and buying again at a cheaper price – if indeed you want to retain their services – might be a route to explore. That could work with Salah and Firmino – they have United and Spurs as their next two with a favourable run of fixtures to follow.

Selling with the Wildcard could pave the way to bring them back at a considerably lower price ahead of Gameweek 10. Though, of course, there is a risk that both will overcome the current Liverpool malaise and deliver.

Finally, one word of advice: when swapping players in and out with the Wildcard active, be sure to double check player prices before confirming sales. You may not have realised that a player has accrued a rise in value during your ownership, meaning that you will have to pay 0.1 more should you wish to reverse the decision before Gameweek 8.

        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I know but I fancy a double Chelsea defence and would like at least 2 City players. Pretty sure its what I am going to do

  12. FPL_WILDCARD
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Morata and Mane to Vardy and Hazard for a -4?

    Bought Morata at 10.0, dropping from 10.4 tonight so will lose one of my increases. Vardy getting a rest from international duty so should be no concern really?

    Transfer to Hazard can wait till Friday before GW8, in case others get injured on duty.

    Decent moves?

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I think I'd do those moves.

    Elliot
    Kolasinac, Davies, Cresswell,
    Carroll, Coutinho, Alli, Ritchie
    Kane, Lukaku, Vardy

    Not keen on dropping Lukaku this week, perhaps save my FT and bring in 2 of them next week?

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Stones for kola & alli for hazard?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Stones always seems to be a rotation risk when Kompany returns. I think Haz is more a player to get once he starts scoring a few, but I think he'll be a great option. Thanks!

        1. Tommyg
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          True but for the last two Yeats how many games has kompany been fit for? Think stones is safe at least for the next three or four years.

          1. Tommyg
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

    2. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      The obvious would be Kaku to Jesus and Alli to Hazard, but not completely sold on Haz just yet.

  14. The Hobbit
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Do some of you folks have a bit of spare time to advice one young Hobbit? Or maybe simply discuss a matter at his hand?

    Most of us are amateurs in case of 4-3-3, although I am very excited to use it on my WC this week. It is a formation more conservative players like myself never used before and I am still not sure about certain things.

    The one I'd like to address right now is third midfielder spot. Do you see it as the "fourth midfielder" spot in 3-4-3 (aka mid priced set piece spec in a crap team or some goalscoring bandwagon), or should all three mids in 4-3-3 be premium? I will give you my own example. It concerns people with front three of Kane-Jesus-Vardy or similar, not the crazy heavy forward line with three superbig hitters.

    Right now I am considering two options for the same amount of money:
    A) My third midfield is Coutinho. This gives me really decent back four of: Bavies, Cedric, Monreal, Ward (and Wimmer on bench to rotate with Ward).
    B) My third midfielder is Choupa-Chups. This gives me sick back four of: Bavies, Azpi, Otamendi, Bellerin (and Ward as sub).

    I know that many of you dont fance Arsenal defence. But Monreal in option A could easily be Cresswell and Bellerin in option B could be Jones or something. Its all debatable, I chose to go with Arsenal.

    I still dont know witch option I should choose. I made some very basic research and it brings me this:

    1. Option A scored 179 points so far this season, option B scored 192. This is not very accurate cause Coutinho missed four and a half games. If we replace Cout with Salah (assuming he should've scored similar) points scored are 197 vs 192 (option A in a slight lead).
    2. Option A scored 338.64 during GW 8-13 on FFS members Rate my team tool. Option B scored 337.34 on the same tool.
    3. Option B has slightly better fixtures cause contains Chelsea, City defence and Choupa-machupa has better fixtures than Coutinho (he is much worse player and playing for much worse team, I remember that!).

    For the record, the rest of the team is as follows. You dont have to judge my other decisions cause I have strong feeling about them:

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Ward, ____, ____, ____, ____
    Eriksen, Sterling, ____, RLC, Carrol
    Kane, Jesus, Vardy

    So... what are your thoughts about 4-3-3 third midfielder position in situations like this? I think many of you drafted something similar.

    Rate my team favors option A, but it is very similar scores. For now I am slightly more tempted to go with option A. Coutinho is class and that defence is decent enough. Also we could get burned with premium defenders and 4.5-5.0 could emerge as true value.

    Sorry for long post.

    4. Enzo the Baker
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I think the better option this season is to go for option B : get stacked with Davies, Azpi, City-def, Cresswell/Cedric and Ward. 3rd mid can be one of Choupo or Richarlison (I prefer the latter). My ideal team is something like this in a 4-3-3 :

      Elliot
      Davies Azpi Otamendi Cress
      Pool-mid City-mid Richarlison
      Kane Lukaku Jesus/Morata

      with a bunch of 4.5s/4/0s on the bench

        • 6 Years

        +1 just for the serious response.

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        You're in luck used my time machine to finish reading your post and not 70 😉 . A of those options, defence is strong enough for me but most seem to be going down the route Enzo has suggested, with the big 3 up top and cheaper mid in third spot

        1. The Hobbit

          • 7 Years

          Thanks for using your time machine, fuel prices are crazy these days. 🙂

          I can see the lure of big3 up top, but I dont like how the rest of team is shaping in that way. And dead wood on a bench is not something I'd advice on a WC with Christmas in mind.

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            No worries, I'll just fut the bill to my employers. I understand I have a 343 with Kane Kaku Vardy and like the balance a lot more, I'd personally go down the route you suggested with A

      3. The Hobbit
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for replying! Your suggested bench is too weak for my liking (Christmas are cominn!) and Elliot alone is risky at GK, but I can see your point. Premium defence and front three kills everything so far.

        I would go A.
        Cout should be better than a Bellerin.

        Then again I am going 523 😉

        Wouldn't you rather double up on Che defenders for the next 3.
        Luiz instead of Bellerin in the next 3? I would, though Bellerin is the Arse to own if you don't.

        1. The Hobbit
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Could be a good option. But Arsenal also has good next 3 fixtures, only then it turns.

          1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            I don't think they do and I own Bellerin and Kola.
            Been very lucky to get those clean sheets these 2 past games.
            Can't see Watford not scoring next week, Everton a better chance but not great either as they have to start scoring.
            I will keep Bellerin though if I lose one of them(depending on Morata and a possible but not likely wc), will do Kola to Luiz to shift my double up to Che(own Alonso) from Arse.

        Honestly, both sets of players look really good, as does the rest of your team. Leaning slightly towards A.

      On WC, going to have Coutinho but has 2 awful fixtures up next, worth putting someone else with better fixtures in for 2 weeks then changing to him or is that a waste of an ft and probably 0.1 in value?

            Ha. You gotta feel for them. For the first season every decision us now in technicolor. Plus they can never make up ground if every move they make is followed by the sheepol.

              I think the ScoutCast has really livened up recently.

              Still think they should have a weekly guest picked from us bunch of trolls.

      with aguero gone,jesus could be an excellent choice for near future. confused between

      b.lukaku to jesus

      what is your advice on this issue as fixtures change for many teams,have 2 ft .

            And rightly so.

            For the whole season, barring injuries, it's Kane > Morata > Aguero > Lukaku > Jesus > Lacazette.

            Everyone will agree or disagree but I'm 100% convinced that order is right

        Trying to get Hazard in. Thinking Mkhi is who I will drop to do so

        Foster, Elliot
        Bavies, Kola, Alonso, Jones, Mbemba
        Salah, Sane, RLC, Gross, Mkhi*
        Kane, Jesus, Quaner

        Need 1.1 mil for Hazard if swapping for Mkhi and have 2FT

        First thought is Alonso to Luiz but I seem to recall Alonso getting his attacking returns from Hazard drawing defenders last season.

        Second thought is Kola to Monreal and Foster to Pereira for a -4

        Third is Gross to Fellaini and Foster to Pereira for a -4

        Any thoughts appreciated.
