Fixtures

Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 19 – The Weak

After looking at the sides with the kindest upcoming schedules over the next four-to-six Gameweeks, we now turn our attention to the teams who look destinted for a challenging start to 2017.

There looks to be no light at the end of the tunnel for both Swansea City and Hull City, while Chelsea’s stiffening schedule should test Antonio Conte’s side at both ends of the pitch.

Swansea City

(BOU, cpl, ARS, liv, SOT, mci)

The Swans have lurched into another crisis, with the 4-1 defeat to West Ham United bringing an end to Bob Bradley’s brief reign in charge.

While in the short-term, matches against Bournemouth, and to a lesser extent Crystal Palace, mean Gylfi Sigurdsson may earn a stay of execution in many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) squads, the Iceland international looks set to attract plenty of sales in the near future.

Goals look set to be hard to come by against Liverpool, given that the Reds have allowed fewer shots from inside the box (12) than any other side over the last four matches, while Manchester City have kept clean sheets in two of their last three.

Arsenal and Southampton also represent testing opposition, so Swans’ attackers look to hold very little appeal after the Bournemouth match.

The outlook is even gloomier at the other end of the pitch, given that Palace were able to breach the Swansea defence four times last month, leaving perhaps only the Bournemouth match as a realistic chance of a clean sheet in the next six.

Even that appears unlikely in the current predicament, while Arsenal, Liverpool and City all have to be fancied to run riot against a Swans backline that has conceded more goals (41) than any other side.

Jordi Amat, who is current owned by 13% of FPL managers, also lost his place in the starting XI on Boxing Day, but his price tag means many may be happy to keep him on the bench until the opportunity arises to move him on.

Chelsea

(STO, tot, lei, HUL, liv, ARS)

It’s been plain sailing for Antonio Conte’s side over the past few months, but trips to White Hart Lane and Anfield, along with a home clash against Arsenal, mean we should perhaps be a little wary of our Chelsea assets over the coming spell.

Spurs and Liverpool have conceded just two and three goals respectively over the past four matches, so Chelsea’s profits in attack face a decline.

Arsenal should be boosted by the return to fitness of Shkodran Mustafi by the time the two teams meet in Gameweek 24, making that another difficult fixture, although the home encounters against Stoke City and Hull City are hugely favourable.

Owning one of Eden Hazard or Diego Costa should continue to pay dividends, then, but loading up on the Blues attack may not pay off over the coming weeks.

Doubling up has also been a viable option in defence of late, but Spurs and Liverpool are the two highest scoring teams over the last four matches with 10 goals apiece, while Arsenal have netted in every away match since the goalless draw against Leicester City in Gameweek 2.

Once the Stoke tie is out of the way, then, there may only be the need to own one Chelsea defender, with Marcos Alonso remaining the star attraction due to his attacking threat from left wing-back.

Hull City

(EVE, wba, BOU, che, mun, LIV)

The Tigers face three very difficult away trips and also host both Merseyside clubs over the next six Gameweeks.

Hull defenders look to have very little realistic chance of mustering any defensive returns, then, with only the Bournemouth clash in Gameweek 21 offering a glimmer of hope in that regard.

Everton do sit in the bottom half for total goal attempts over the last four matches, with 39, but given that they’ve created seven big chances over the same period, it’s likely they’ll be able to find the back of the net in Friday’s Gameweek 19 opener.

Tigers defenders should remain an afterthought for Fantasy managers, then.

Robert Snodgrass has been a viable option for parts of this season, but the midfielder looks to offer little appeal over the coming stretch.

Goals appear unlikely against both Chelsea and Liverpool in particular, with the Blues having kept four consecutive cleans sheets, while the Reds, as already mentioned, are limiting teams to very few goal attempts.

Manchester United are also shining in that regard of late, while Everton and West Brom appear unlikely to concede more than once against Mike Phelan’s men.

Bournemouth have conceded nine goals in their last four matches, but that one decent match-up doesn’t look enough to warrant keeping faith in Snodgrass, who is currently sitting in 5.2% of FPL squads.

Also be wary of…

Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp’s men face three of the current top six (MCI, mun, CHE) over the coming period, denting the appeal of Reds players, although they also face the current bottom three (sun, SWA, hul) over the next six Gameweeks.

Those three plum fixtures should ensure the need for at least one Reds midfielder in our 15-man squads, but choosing the right one will be crucial given that the next six fixtures don’t appear to warrant big investment.

The Liverpool rearguard continues to impress in a lot of defensive statistics, but with clean sheet points only appearing likely in three matches, there should be stronger alternatives for the upcoming period.

Dejan Lovren does offer solid value at 5.0 in FPL, though, given his added goal threat, having already scored twice this season.

Burnley
Once Saturday’s plum home tie with Sunderland has passed, the fixture list (mci, SOT, ars, LEI, wat) isn’t too promising for the Clarets.

Trips to the Etihad and the Emirates may see Sean Dyche’s side leak a few goals, and although they are strong defensively at home, clashes against Southampton and Leicester look far from straightforward.

Tom Heaton should continue to offer excellent value due to his save points alone, but the upside of all Burnley defenders appears somewhat limited over the coming period.

City, Southampton and Arsenal all boast fairly strong defences, so Clarets attackers, as has been the case for the majority of the season, appear unlikely to break onto the radar.

West Ham United
The Hammers face a mixed upcoming schedule, with three difficult encounters (MUN, MCI, sot) combined with three kinder match-ups (lei, CPL, mid).

Given that Slaven Bilic’s side only mustered two goals in home matches against Burnley and Hull City, it’s difficult to see them scoring many against United and City, while Middlesbrough are also hard to break down at the Riverside.

The likes of Dimitri Payet, Michail Antonio and Andy Carroll don’t appear likely to muster many double-digit hauls, then, with perhaps stronger options available in their respective price brackets.

Defensive returns could be on the cards against Palace, Saints and ‘Boro, but unless you currently own a West Ham defender, now doesn’t look the time to invest given those two home fixtures against the Manchester clubs.

    Ibra, Costa, Origi

    Pickford*, walker*, Amat, de roon

    1ft, 0.0itb

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'd say save...

    2. YTUMAMMA
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Similar team and same predicament here...
      I'm leaning towards Heaton and Ake this week, would also be taking a -4, and maybe Holebas to Brunt next week or so. Just not sure whether it's worth the hit?...

      1. S.Agueroooooo
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Spurs fixtures arent the best for the mid term plus walker is out this week.. rose is probably the better long twrm option and is only 5.9 so im thinking walker to brunt and get rose at a slightly later date?

  3. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Baines, Cedric, Jones or Blind? Bringing in Brunt too.

    With January just around the corner, how do the current top 6 goal scorers generally perform in the upcoming month? Note: Official assists only.

    Lukaku (9.4m):
    15/16: P 4, G 0, A 1
    14/15: P 4, G 1, A 0
    13/14: P 4, G 0, A 2
    Total: P 12, G 1, A 3

    Hazard (10.4m)
    15/16: P 2, G 0, A 0
    14/15: P 4, G 1, A 1
    13/14: P 4, G 1, A 1
    Total: P 10, G 2, A 2

    Costa (10.7m):
    15/16: P 4, G 3, A 2
    14/15: P 3, G 4, A 1
    13/14: P 4, G 0, A 1 (Spain)
    Total: P 11, G 7, A 4

    Ibrahimovic (11.6m):
    15/16: P 4, G 4, A 0 (France)
    14/15: P 4, G 1, A 1 (France)
    13/14: P 4, G 3, A 3 (France)
    Total: P 12, G 8, A 4

    Sanchez (11.9m):
    15/16: P 1, G 0, A 0
    14/15: P 3, G 2, A 1
    13/14: P 4, G 4, A 1 (Spain)
    Total: P 8, G 6, A 2

    Aguero (12.8m):
    15/16: P 4, G 5, A 1
    14/15: P 3, G 0, A 1
    13/14: P 2, G 2, A 1
    Total: P 9, G 7, A 3

    Conclusion: The Belgian duo doesn’t seem to thrive during January.

    Costa, Ibrahimovic, Sanchez and Aguero all average at least one attacking return each game. Aguero had a blip in 2015 but fixtures against Chelsea, Arsenal and a sub appearance vs Everton could explain that.

    Costa seems to be the real standout option judging by his two seasons in the PL, with 10 attacking returns in 7 games.

    This doesn’t have to mean much but it can actually have a significant effect. Sport psychologists will argue that past experiences are a vital element of performance, i.e. if you know you perform well at the start of a new year your self-efficacy and confidence will be higher at the start of the next year, and vice versa.

      Pointless. But thanks for the effort 🙂

      Yes, pointless, by this logic we should put our money on Leicester to win the league because they did well at this point last season.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Well if you go back to March/April then you'll see several Leicester players saying they were drawing experiences from their 13/14 Championship winning run to prepare for the PL run-in. That could have been the reason why they managed to win the title, whilst Liverpool and Arsenal (who have been in similar positions in the past seasons) have bottled it when they were close to the title.

        Besides, 'this logic' doesn't say 'Leicester will win the league again'. The numbers I posted are from the previous three years. Your comparison is just silly.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Repost:
    By the next deadline(gw20), Lallana probably cost the same as Sterling.
    Fancy Siggy to Yaya? No need for fork out extra fund to do it.

    1. A.T
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Too much of a rotation risk.

  6. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    If I wait till tomorrow the price changes may cause that I wont be able to get Lallana and any playing GK.

    A) Walcott, Pickford -> Lallana, up to 4.4 GK (who) TODAY
    B) Clyne, Pickfrod -> Ake, Valdes
    C) wait as A&B are for a hit and field a team w/o GK

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      wait for news on wally...he might play
      and you could get grant next gw... has only 2 unfavourable matchups in the next 9 after chelsea ie. Manutd and tot...remaining look good

  7. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Fast one - Pick one for the best points/value ratio:
    A) Jones
    B) Baines
    C) Valencia
    D) Coleman
    E) Other up to 5.5 - not Brunt

    Cheers !

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Baines, only 5.3 - attacking defender, on set-pieces, probably pens.

    Is this dialup? - Walcott to miss the next game

    on the Ox, Gibbs, Walcott and Welbeck…
    Alex looks like he could join in normal training on Saturday. From the last game, I think we lose Kieran Gibbs. It’s not big damage to his knee but he has inflammation and I don’t think he will be available. Danny Welbeck is doing well in training, so we have plenty of options. Theo Walcott will still be short.

      Feels a little better now after I reluctantly took out Wally for Lallana, knowing that he's likely to miss out again.

    Predictions for Liverpool v City.
    I'm going for 5-2!

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Cue 0-0.

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        In all seriousness, I reckon 3-1 Pool.

      2. Gazj11
        • 10 Years

        Yeah probably! Seriously though, there must be goals.

        Nayy. Pool hardly can keep cs. Especially against Manchester clubs.

        1. Gazj11

    3. goriuanx
      • 14 Years

      Bobby Firmino to hand City a beating. But fear KDB and Aguero will tear our defence too.

    GTG? Or any changes/transfers anyone would make? 0.2 ITB and 1 FT.

    Foster
    Jones McAuley Alonso
    Haz Sanchez Siggy Eriksen
    Costa Ibra Anichebe

    Sub: Pickford, Allen, Amat, Pieters

    Was thinking maybe McAuley -> Brunt for the upcoming WBA fixtures but perhaps too sideways and a waste of an FT? Save for next week?

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looks fine. Maybe just Pickford

  17. Paul
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    One of the major decisions for me this season to sell Walker
    Owned him since GW1 gonna loose a lot of value but spurs fixture don't look enticing...and probably getting rid for season

    Best Walker replacement

    a) VVD
    b) Brunt
    c) Bellerin
    d) Valencia
    e) keep

    Help much appreciated guys

      I think I'm also going for C) Bellerin

    5. Paul
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Bellerin seems the popular choice 😀

  18. UCL Fantasy

    Got Walcott in and he did better than Sanchez earlier in season. Then got rid for injury. Against better judgement got back, did poor. Shipped for Sanchez, he scored twice. Got him back for this run of fixtures. Injured for first game and out for 2nd so getting rid again.

    He's going to become one of those I just have to ignore full time 🙂

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd put Lukaku in that bracket too 😉

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't say full time. Close to gold when fit and firing.

    3. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      happens...

    4. A.T
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      So frustrating but I'll probably bring him back anyway.

      1. UCL Fantasy
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        To be fair....me too if he's passed fit next GW as I'm looking for Sigurdsson replacement most likely 😆

        1. A.T
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I'm swapping for Mkhitaryan so I'm quite excited really.

    5. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Hate when that happens. I ignored Costa because I was afraid he'll get suspended. That went well...

    6. Kroosin'
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      You expected him to miss on of these games when you brought him in right ?

      Someone posted earlier he started training - separate from the rest of the squad. If he is in line to start GW 20, I would not sell.

    7. Hamish
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      After getting rid of eriksen for him last week and having to double back on myself this week Walcott is very much on my ignore list along with Lukaku, Barkley and Kane

  19. YoungPretender
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Guna move Walcott on, have 8.5 to spend.

    A) Alli
    B) Phillips
    C) Sterling
    D) Other? (Already have 3 Liverpool).

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      alli

    3. Gazj11
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A

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

      Alli / or find the extra 0.4 to Mkhitaryan

    5. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Pogba if you're feeling lucky

    6. CechYourHead
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Phillips has great fixtures coming up, and would free up some cash to use elsewhere

      1. YoungPretender
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks for suggestions. Think I'll go with Alli. Will probably do Siggy > Phillips if he fails to deliver again this week. Don't fancy punting on Pogba/Mkhi just yet.

    7. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Eriksen over alli still, surely...

  20. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Baines, Cedric, Jones or Blind? Bringing in Brunt too

    1. Oven Glover
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Baines for the fixtures, possible pens and set pieces. Also likely to play wingback.

    2. The Greenback Boogie
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Baines out of those.

  21. martyhan

        Yeah it's 106 million. Think aguero is going to punish me not having him though

        1. TokyoRisingSun
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Nah that team looks fine. I'd hold

  22. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    did Amat start in the gwks when Curtis managed Swansea?

  23. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I decided to keep Iheanacho because I don't want unnecessary hits.

    a) Play Iheanacho and hope he comes on.
    b) Play Amat (BOU)
    c) Fletcher (sou)

    Thanks.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      He will come on late, so that Aguero starts on 2nd as well...

      1. Giovanni Giorgio
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I know...Think I'll go with him anyways. Don't see much potential in the others anyways.

    Hi guys n gals
    A little luck this season has given me a o/a rank of 1100,have made 22 transfers,a 100 point lead in my mini league but 140 points behind o/a leader am i now mad to take a -12 to reshuffle to get Kun in?

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

      Not fancy wildcarding next week for him?

    Mane being transferred out at lightning pace, Jesus.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He really could destroy City and Sunderland

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Walcott has double the sales.

    3. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Mane vs Kolarov will be brutal

    4. Viprin
      • 9 Years

      -91 already on fpl statistics

    5. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      People forget Mane is a big game player...

    1. TokyoRisingSun

      Depends. Do you have Hazard?

      1. Stupendous

        Suggestions? Downgrade Theo and upgrade Origi to Lukaku maybe?

          Siggy Wally out but not for -8

            Siggy Wally out keep origi as he'll keep starting but upgrade Anichebe

            1. Stupendous
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              I'm in a 3 5 2 mate. Origi was too cheap to pass on

                Agree don't but at least two of CIA are essential

    2. La Roja

      I'd leave it as it is, nothing worth a hit

        That was the idea at first Cheers

          Wenger reckons Walcott “will still be short” of fitness for Arsenal’s clash with Palace.

          1. Stupendous
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Mee starting

  28. UCL Fantasy
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Chances of Walcott falling and Mkhitaryan rising are pretty likely tonight right?

    Don't want to miss any price changes, would prefer to wait for tomorrows United press conference but don't think I can

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Walcott only on -60%. Is he being transferred out at a rate of knots?!

      1. A.T
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Dropped last night so that's quite a bit.

    2. Clump
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      There seems to be a high volume of transfers today. It's very possible.
      Would have loved more detail on Walcott from Wenger.

    3. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I am 100% Mhki starts from now on. He's too good to not.
      He's a potential route into Aguero too if you dare to go without Ibra
