The Stock Check – Gameweek 14 – Saturday

A lunging Sergio Aguero takes himself out of the equation, while a red-hot Alexis Sanchez submits a renewed and convincing bid for “essential” status. That pair are enough to overshadow a Harry Kane brace, plus further returns for Chelsea’s tri-force of Fantasy assets. Here’s the Stock Check following Saturday’s events…

Alexis Sanchez
A merciless one-man show tore a fragile and depleted West Ham United apart and elevated Sanchez to a new level as a Fantasy asset.

The Chilean continues to relish the central attacking role and, with the goals flowing, he has surely banished Olivier Giroud’s recent renaissance to cement that position.

The devastating 23-point haul delivered a massive blow to his non-owners and with Sergio Aguero’s millions now unlocked, forced them to investigate a route to recruit Sanchez. Even so, with a rise to 11.5 overnight, acquiring his services will still require compromise, creating yet another round of difficult transfer decisions.

Harry Kane
Overshadowed by Sanchez’ performance and points-haul, Kane nonetheless delivered his side of the bargain having topped this week’s Captain Poll.

Orchestrating the 5-0 drubbing of Swansea City, Kane converted a third penalty in the last three Gameweeks, before firing a second from a Son Heung-min assist.

Those goals took Kane to seven in his last six Premier League outings, eight from 11 games in all competitions this season.

It represented an instant reward for early adopters, although they will now feel frustrated having seen Aguero’s suspension drive inevitable traffic they way of the Spurs striker.

Kane’s enjoyed a price rise overnight and his form, coupled with Aguero’s ban, will likely see him established as part of the new front three template.

Christian Eriksen
Both Son and Dele Alli both provided returns in the 5-0 win, but Eriksen surpassed the pair to promote his stock as the Spurs midfield option.

The Dane delivered a brace and an assist to amass an 18-point haul. In any other Gameweek, that would have ensured a significant spike in transfers, although with Sanchez and the hunt for Aguero’s replacement the current priority, Eriksen remains largely overlooked.

Kane’s newfound popularity could also curb interest, ensuring that Eriksen remains an effective midfield differential.

Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Marcos Alonso
The dominant Chelsea trio all overcame a testing fixture at Manchester City to deliver points in the 3-1 win.

Costa claimed an 11th goal of the season, ensuring that he’s now delivered returns in 12 of 14 Gameweeks – an incredible level of consistency. Again he avoided that fifth booking and now, against the odds, seems on track to pass the Gameweek 19 cut off and avoid suspension.

Withdrawn late on with what appeared to be cramp in his hamstrings due to fatigue, Conte stated post-match that he “expected” Costa to recover to face West Brom in Gameweek 15.

Meanwhile, Hazard regained momentum with a first goal in three Gameweeks, converting a Marcos Alonso pass as the Spanish wing-back fetched a second assist of the season.

All three now look poised to enjoy significant returns throughout December, as the fixtures smile kindly and hand Antonio Conte’s side the platform to cement top spot.

Chris Brunt
Once again deployed in midfield, Brunt chose Gameweek 14 to underline his potential as an out of position prospect.

While deprived of a clean sheet, he nonetheless provided the delivery for Jonny Evans’ opener, before firing a deflected effort from 25-yards.

As indicated in our recent Frisking the Fixtures article, Brunt’s prospects are somewhat dented by a testing forthcoming schedule. However, given his attacking prospects, he arguably challenges and perhaps supersedes Gareth McAuley as the optimum route into Tony Pulis’ rearguard.

Matt Phillips
Elsewhere in the Baggies camp, Phillips continued an unexpected level of consistency with a third goal of the season, returning for the fourth successive Gameweek.

Again, West Brom’s fixtures promote caution. While the home tie with Swansea City in Gameweek 16 promises a further haul, trips to Chelsea, Arsenal and Southampton, plus a Hawthorns meeting with Manchester United, will severely test the Phillips’ momentum.

Lee Grant
The veteran stand-in earned back-to-back clean sheets and a fourth shut-out of the season as Stoke City kept Burnley at bay.

With Mark Hughes expressing concerns on another Jack Butland injury setback, Grant’s stock enjoyed a significant hike.

The fixtures turn against him but, at just 4.2, there is no doubting Grant’s potential as another cheap enabler.

Christian Benteke
The Belgian exploited an uncharacteristically obliging Southampton defence to earn a brace, taking him to four goals in as many Gameweeks.

His first two goals in front of the home Palace fans, Benteke has timed his ascent to coincide with Aguero’s ban to put promote his services as a cut-price replacement.

In Decline

Sergio Aguero
Incredibly, the Argentine is now poised to miss seven matches in all competitions and six Gameweeks due to suspension this season.

A four-match ban, covering the next four Gameweeks, looks guaranteed following Aguero’s horrific lunge on Chelsea’s David Luiz – it could even be extended further.

Having already missed three matches and two Gameweeks early in the season, this latest incident represents a disturbing new development for Aguero as a Fantasy asset.

Already shipped by over 250,000 managers to this point, it remains to be seen if the City striker can be forgiven and can regain his former status as a Fantasy royalty.

Theo Walcott
Hooked off on 65 minutes and drowned out by Sanchez’ outstanding hat-trick, Walcott’s stock suffers a major blow.

Suddenly, with funds flooded by the Aguero sale, Fantasy managers no longer need to risk compromise with their choice of Arsenal’s midfield, easing the route to Sanchez.

Walcott will, therefore, be an obvious fall-guy, although, with Stoke City at the Emirates up next, he has an immediate opportunity to address matters.

Pedro
Another cheaper alternative to suffer a blow, the Spanish winger was withdrawn on 49 minutes and watched on while his replacement Willian scored a crucial Chelsea goal.

The threat from the Brazilian was always present but has now escalated ahead of Chelsea’s favourable run of opponents.

With Hazard, Costa and Alonso the clear trio of top targets in Conte’s ranks, we have to question the merits of holding or investing in Pedro at this time.

Joe Allen
The Welshman returned from suspension for Stoke City but was unable to break into a winning side, taking his place on the Potters bench.

Introduced on the hour-mark, Allen is nonetheless uncertain to work his way into the starting XI for the Gameweek 15 trip to Arsenal, with Xherdan Shaqiri currently occupying the role behind lone striker Jon Walters.

Sam Vokes
The budget striker joined Steven Defour and Matt Lowton on the bench as Sean Dyche shuffled his pack for the visit to Stoke. Andre Gray was restored to the starting XI, having been largely kept in reserve in recent weeks.

While the changes failed to halt a run of dismal away results, an instant return for Vokes is far from certain ahead of the Gameweek 15 meeting with Bournemouth.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

            What's YMA?

      Jury is out on Bobby and his silly hair. I'm nonetheless worried after selling him. Hope he's quiet as his output hasn't been amazing.

    3. n-doggg
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard

      1. Scotty B
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Why Hazard over the others?

    4. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Alexis will surely be the leading captain pick so probably the safest bet.

    5. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard for me but a lot depends on YMA's article.

      1. Scotty B
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Hazard over Sanchez? Any particular reason why?

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Have a look at Hazard's home form.
          Not ruling out Sanchez yet if he's rested in CL he might be a good option too.

    6. BB-8
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard if I had him.

      1. Scotty B
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Interesting that people are saying Hazard out of the 4

    7. Worzel Gummidge
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Don't you have the pick 4 captain chip?

        1. Scotty B
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Haha if only Worzel!

        Just choose one and hope they all score well anyway.

      • AndyCook
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I always say if you don't know captain the most expensive one, there's a reason they are priced like that

      • Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Would you loose both Firmino & Austin for Costa & a 5.2m mid?

        1. NestorC
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          If Firmino do well today,no.

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Not even if Firmino doesn't do well.

            1. Karan14
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Double Chelsea defence & Hazard over Costa & loosing those 2?

            2. NestorC
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Yes,but than he can think about it,otherwise its clear no.

        2. Bleach †
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          No

          1. Karan14
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Would you just get double Chelsea defence Alonso & Cahill and keep Firmino & Austin?
            Have Hazard.

            1. Bleach †
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              If possible, I would go with one premium defender and spend money elsewhere. Definetly would keep Firmino and Austin has good fixtures incoming.

              1. Karan14
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                Don't need to spend it elsewhere honestly. I can get Alonso & Rose.

        3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Nope Firmino & Austin can score against anyone & are nice & cheap

        4. O Fenomeno
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          No way

      • NestorC
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        A) Lallana and Alonso
        OR
        B) Firmino and Pieters

        1. BB-8
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          A

      • BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Holebas to Alonso for a -4. Yay or Nay?

        1. NestorC
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Y

        2. Worzel Gummidge
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I'm doing it. Was going to be Williams but now I did Aguero to Kane I can do it with Holebas. Williams has a better fixture and allows me to get a better defence out this week.

            1. BB-8
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              I haven't seen Williams fixtures but I'm selling Holebas over Pieters and Evans. Watford are awful

        3. n-doggg

          Took a -4 for this last night feels good. Well, until it all changes again next weekend

          7 years, 11 months ago

          KDB & Defoe > Siggy & Costa (-4) gives the 'dream' template front 7. But I am not convinced that the template 2 will outscore the 2 I currently have.

          Should I ignore my hunch and go template?

          1. NestorC
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Why Defoe out? Swa next. I got him last night for Austin.

          2. Jazz!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            No way. KDB and Defoe are brilliant picks. Don't be swayed in by the template.

            1. Demel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              That's what I am thinking. If KDB gets a 20 pointer (especially when I captain him against Hull then my rank might rocket).

          3. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Defoe out? 😀

            1. Demel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              It is just seeing everyone talk about the template. I think that Defoe and KDB are better than Costa and Siggy. But I also thought that Carroll would be a great differential in GW1. I was just checking this wasn't another Carroll moment.

              1. Epic Fail
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                Ignore template. Simply go with who you feel are the best picks. I've got Defoe and he isn't leaving my team for anyone right now.

            • 10 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Decent chance of KDB playing false 9 in a few matches imo. Worth keeping

        5. Petr Chec Yourself

          take a -4 to do Austin to kane or wait until after the utd game?
          cheers

            1. Ginola14
              • 12 Years

              yes got a .4 buffer

        7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Hypothetical question... But...if Lukaku scores well today, what are owners doing? Still selling for Costa??

          1. Ginola14
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            get rid

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              If he blanks today yes... Would find it hard to do Lukaku > Costa though if Lukaku gets 12 or 15 points today. Utd are rubbish & Jose hasn't been paying his taxes so it could well happen...

          Currently weighing up whether to cop a -8. Would you do it?

          2FT, 0.3ITB

          Can do Heaton->Grant & Lukaku->Kane

          Could also then do Walker->Alonso and Evans->Nyom

          Pickford Heaton
          Walker Holebas Smith Evans Amat
          Sanchez Hazard Firmino Siggy DeRoon
          Costa Lukaku Austin

          I wanted to sit with Lukaku as he'll be a top 6 striker over the season. Kane's form is proving too good however so I want to jump aboard the Kane-train. To get Alonso I need to save money elsewhere - worth the -8? With Walker away to Man Utd this week, I'm considering doing it....

            where are you getting the money from to upgrade luk to kane?

                id wait a week on kane, utd away is hardly a plum fix, just get Alonso and grant

                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 11 months ago

                  I can afford the moves exactly atm. So any price rise and I'm stuffed. This is the only way I can see myself getting Kane + Alonso, without structural changes to the team (e.g. Siggy to Phillips).

                  Do you consider that relevant?

        10. La Roja
          • 12 Years

          What to do here?

                Think he'll only miss the Stoke game. Mid and bou on either side of that could see him do well

              I have done B last night,those fixtures are not so easy. All those teams play good defense,and SOU doesn't score a lot.

            Can't decide in getting in siggy or Alonso for a hit

          A) Chadli -> Hazard -4
          B) Chadli -> KDB -4
          C) Save and play Amat

          With C I got more options next week:
          1: Austin -> Kane
          2: Austin -> Ibra
          3: Chadli -> Haz
          4: Chadli -> KDB

          Chadli is the weak link this week, but can come good Home to Swansea next if he can find a starting place in Pulis team.

          Not having Spurs against HULL and BURNEY frightens me.

          Heaton

              Ta. It's not in my nature to gloat and obviously I'm not naive enough to think that I've won anything yet. But, I thought while not enjoy being at the summit of all of them at the same time!

        19. Ginkapo FPL
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Hang on. Eriksen's form is 8.0, Kane's is 9.0. Kane costs 3.8M more than Eriksen.

          Why are people getting Kane?

          1. Swan - Villa Proud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Striker , on pens , historically more consistent than Eriksen and most people's midfields are full

          2. Nabs Kebabs
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Seriously?

            1. Kane is a more reliable captain choice.
            2. Kun is suspended so people are looking for a replacement, most template mids are doing fine.

            Coming from someone who took a hit to get both for this current GW.

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Look at the numbers.

              1. Utter BS
              2. Fair enough, its silly reasoning though

              1. Nabs Kebabs
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                1. is utter BS??? You do realise Kane has missed half the season...

          3. NestorC
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Because it fills the spot on att and he is on pens. Not sure Erik will continue like that.

              • 13 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Lol...don't think how many times he has trolled you effects his prospects as an fpl option.

                • 13 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                nope but it affects my opinion on him.........burnt fingers n all
                as i say rational thinking does not apply

            • 11 Years

            Bit more proven, I guess.

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              They are both proven.

            • 12 Years

        24. Baked baines
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Does anyone now feel that it's all gone a bit flat.
          Everyone is now going to have the same team.
          The Aguero suspension has thrown the game in to similarity.
          Players who had Costa, kane & Sanchez prior to this weekend had the advantage. Now every team will have the same front 8 template.
          Next 5 weeks the scoring is going to be the same for most!

          1. KneejerkJoe
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            True.. If Aguero gets in insane form in January/February he can be a great differential to Captain.

          2. Sims
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Captain choices will be different which will make a big difference

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              this, so many choices now

            2. RoysCallerAnne
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              This is it really. Sanchez, Hazard, Costa, Firmino/ Mane. Even Siggy or Walcott
              look great (c) options next GW

          3. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah I agree. The Aguero suspension has made the game so much worse off. With Sanchez and Kane scoring high, among others it would have been very interesting had Aguero still been in play.

            1. The Hindu Monkey
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              total nonsense, have you watched this season? new and old players being tossed up every week

              what if lukaku or zlatan score 4 in 2, it all changes again

              next week kane could easily blank away at United and Costa could get suspended

              brilliant season just got better

              1. Crystal
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                Exactly, very short sighted, you haven't even mentioned Defoe away to a woeful Swansea next week. There are always differentials if you look for them, don't get locked into the FFS group think

          4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            There's a lot of twists yet to come with 6 Gameweeks in the next 3 weeks, there is no way the "template" will still be in place in three weeks time. Imagine the scenes if sanchez gets a 2 pointer at home to stoke & costa gets booked, for example. Iheanacho & KDB could put Leicester to the sword. Ibra could go large... So many permutations.

          Have a front 3 of Costa Aguero Kane,

          Want to take Aguero out for a striker (6.3m) and upgrade Phillips to Hazard

          Is Anichebe a good option for next week?
