Team Analysis – Assessing Clement’s Swansea

Having checked up on Hull City’s progress under Marco Silva, we now take time to assess Paul Clement’s impact on the fortunes of Swansea City.

Wins against Palace, Liverpool, Southampton and Leicester in six matches since the new manager’s appointment have lifted the Welsh outfit out of the bottom three and brought them to the attention of Fantasy Premier League managers.

Swansea’s upcoming schedule has heightened their appeal as a means to navigate the blanks brought on by domestic cup postponements – indeed, they are one of only eight sides set to offer a fixture in both Gameweek 26 and 28.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    "Clattenburg u-turn... expected to ref PL games again after talks with Mike Riley."

    He's just an attention seeking clown.

    Thoughts on ibra and jones to walker and kaku (free)
    And then azpi and hazard to clyne and mane in gw28 (free) before clyne to alonso in gw29

    Gives me potential starters of these for gw28
    Foster
    Nyom baines holgate clyne
    Mane snodgrass
    Kaku

    Thinking of bringing hull defender in for holgate

    1. skeyrd
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like the initial move of getting walker and kaku for this week for free

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso will outscore clyne from now until GW29 and beyond

      he has sunderland give him one last chance!!

  6. skeyrd

    would you take a hit to bring in someone for kdb to play over allen or roll with these guys

    Randolph
    Funes Mori, Robertson, PvA, Coleman
    Eriksen, Phillips, Allen
    Costa, Kane, Lukaku

    Foster, Pieters, Sterling, KDB 1.5 itb

    1. Debauchy

      1. skeyrd
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        yeah Mane is the one im considering

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    what do people prefer?

    1. Pieters and Sanchez to Brunt and Mane (free) - Already have another w brom def

    2. Stanislas and Sanchez to Mane and Firmino (Free)

    1. skeyrd

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yep thinking 2 thanks, firmino just because he is likely to play as false 9 but I may be swerved by coutinho

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I think Firmino edges Cout . Would like Mane but going forward dont think I can afford

    5. tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      2 is the dream transfer, imo.

      1. b✪mber

        WBA loses appeal after GW28, so loading on WBA is a bit too late now imo (don't think I'll own Brunt this season 🙁 )

    7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Tired of waiting here for Friday to roll around. Such a long frustrating wait this has been.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      There must be something else you can do ?

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not really. This is pretty much it for me.

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years

          Damn , ok , hang tough

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Will undoubtedly be a really low scoring week now as well

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Better not be the case, GW28 is shaping up to be a shocker too.

  10. denial

    Team FTW:

    Heaton
    Baines Coleman Brunt Alonso
    Mane SIggy Phillips Alli
    Lukaku Benteke

    // Stanislas / Ibra / Love

    3.8ITB

    Would you make any other changes for a hit?

    a) Benteke to Costa
    b) Stan to Firmino
    c) Stan to Eriksen
    d) Leave it

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      D, though A is tempting

    2. b✪mber
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be tempted to do B for a hit and I think it might be the right thing to do, but you'll have some bench headache and may end up with points on the bench, so your call really.

      1. denial

        Thanks

  11. JustPark
    • 8 Years

    Take a hit for Alli/Eriksen to Mane this week or just do it next week for free?

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      not worth a hit.

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Next week against Arsenal could be tempting. Liverpool against top 6 is better than relegation-threaten clubs.

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      hmmm let me know what you decide, might do the same...

  12. Netley Lucas
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Be interesting to see if JAyew can force his way into the team on the RW or even CF?

  13. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Costa 7 goals in his last 4 games against Swansea....

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I have all the big hitters this week, might take a punt on captaincy since I will be halfway covered.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who might you punt on?

        1. tm245
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          One of the mids - Alli, Hazard, Mane. Can't decide between Lukaku, Costa, Kane.

          Alonso would be a flair pick, but I'm not sure it would even be worth it.

          1. Bubz
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Certainly not a bad idea

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Would you get him in for -4 ?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No

    3. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He is Good Captaincy option always against Swansea

      After the Match
      Costa 7 goals in his last 5* games against Swansea....

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        10 goals* 😉

    4. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I fancy him but I do think Lukaku's ceiling is higher. Prefer Kaku against sh*te Sunderland.

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

        Swansea in good form as well.

      2. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Kaku's injury niggle concerns me. He always plays sh*te when hes carrying a niggling injury. HIs movement can be terrible

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          problem is it's sunderland, a one legged player could score a hat-trick against them

          1. Bubz
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            True. But they have a lot to play for, and put in a performance away at palace. Dont sunderland usually go on a run of form at this stage of the season?

            1. Debauchy
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Yep . And they often perform better away too

            2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              all very true

              They do, but it's usually when they've fired the previous manager ...

                • 10 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Big fat Sam to come in and save them?

  14. tm245

    GW28 fixture list is looking grim.

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      why?

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Great for Chasers

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        West Ham and Liverpool load up could pay off going forward from those fixtures, too.

        I might have about 40m on the bench!

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah , Im still pretty much "up in the air" but hope I can find the right path

          1. tm245
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed, have no idea how many I will have for that gameweek.

      I'm loving it.

  15. Kun Tozser
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anything worth a hit here?

    Foster
    Baines Alonso Coleman Brunt Mee
    Snodgrass Alli Siggurdsson Coutinho
    Lukaku

    Pickford Barnes Sanchez Ibra

    Best captain pick? Lukaku safe pick?

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No fine. I'm not sure on (c) yet.

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku safe pick, everyone else is punt.

  16. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    when your mini league leader only has 2 players for GW 28 and your trying to turn around a 61 point deficit, looking good 🙂

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      hehe

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years

      Nice Mini League 😮

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He might WC?

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        hes got no more chips left and hes on -4 going into GW 26

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sounds like he has no chance of winning your league then

          1. Bruno Bruno!!
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            here is his team, can you try and help figure out his 2 transfers.

            https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/2215373/event/25

            1. Bubz
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Ibra to Lukaku look svery likely

              1. Bruno Bruno!!
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                thanks, ive already got lukaku, I was more concerned about mane. I'm hoping hes made some rash transfers as he made his transfers straight after gw25 without considering fa cup

    4. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm leading my ML by 5 points and 2nd place has kept Ibra & Sanchez also has Ake & Yoshida on his bench.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Your in good shape then to extend your lead, how far off is 3rd place from you.

  17. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is the 2 week gap between Gameweek 29 & 30 the International Break?

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      sure

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        That sucks I wanted to get Sanchez back in GW29 but if he's going to Chile after that I might want to wait a week.

  18. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys. Need some help. Have to do two transfers to field 11. Sanchez PP is 11.5

    A) Cedric -> Brunt
    B) Sanchez -> Mane
    C) Anichebe -> Niasse
    D) Anichebe -> Carroll

    Grant
    Alonso, Coleman, Holebas
    Alli, Coutinho, Phillips, Stanislas
    Lukaku

    Pickford, Ibra, Valencia, Sanchez, Cedric, Anichebe

    1. Visionaries
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B & C

      1. KUNingas
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Comments why not A?

        1. Visionaries
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          A is also a good option. I like Brunt, I have him in mine, but you do have Phillips and you don't have a Hull player. I think B'mouth will score as well.

          1. KUNingas
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks!

  19. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Pickford to Jaku for a hit and play him this week and GW28 ? I think there is a chance he may make up for -4 in just these 2 games.
    Also have Grant.
    Thoughts ??

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why not just do it in 28 since Grant has a fixture this week?

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Jaku has good fixture this week and I want Lanzini before 28

    2. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Could pay off. Nobody knows will Pickford claim his starting berth

  20. The Overthinker

    Lost on last page, so repost

    My team as of now. Thinking to take a hit and bring in mane and lukaku for sanchez and ibra for 3 weeks. Once they both are back, they'll be back in my team .

    Jaku
    Azpi-coleman-pieters-alonso-brunt

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years

      go for it..Worth it Probably

  21. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Do you ever just crave the satisfaction of confirming a transfer? I want to pull the trigger on Sanchez to Mane, for no reason whatsoever. No imminent price changes, several days and other games to come before the weekend, yet here I am wanting to press the button.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just to go to my team, press Bubz

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same here lol.. If I want a Player I just want to get him in as soon as possible and get satisfied after seeing him in my team even though I know I am going to get him before the deadline anyway
      😛 ...

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly. Maybe its because I know I can just stop thinking about it once Iv confirmed it. I dunno, it's so tempting but stupid

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      ive been tempted to do that transfer all weekend but gonna hold out till tomorrow and after the scoutcast

    4. b✪mber
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, but than I realize that's dumb (I'm dumb) and I just let it go

  22. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think Haz could be da man to Captain.
    Yeah Swans improved , but time for a reality check ?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Costa looked really lively in the FA cup

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah , but I only have Haz. Home game . With most above me likely to go Lukaku , is worth the risk maybe ?

          Ah right. You never know with Hazard. Could be a good pick but he's pretty unpredicatble these days you just dont know which Hazard will show up

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yep, as below. Chasing so need the odd risk

      Idk, I don't trust him, another very poor display against the Wolves, he really is so inconsistent in his performances this year. I think I might ship him for Sanchez somewhere after gw 28

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yep , just want to get one game right , gut tells me this is the game. Gut been poorly of late though

        1. JÆKS ⭐

          Tell me about it, wanted to have a differential captain in the last 2 weeks, ended up with Alli C Lukaku VC and Siggy C Sanchez VC

    Firmino vs Coutinho

    thoughts?

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tough. Firmino for me though I have Coutinho

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Such a lottery. Honestly dont have a clue. Firmino edges it due to his OOPness I think

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Coin flip. My coin landed on Firmino

    4. FFPro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers guys, makes sense. Was leaning towards Firmino due to minutes, OOP, and some semblance of form.

    Thank you for this article...Siggy & Fernandez in and Caroll is a no go for me...

    Is a Firmino captaincy too punty?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Better options about surely

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐

      Having Him is enough lol

        He's due a haul plus no-one else in my mini league has him, I do have Costa, Lukaku and Mane though.

    A followup question I suppose, who would you play out of these 2 in GW 26:

    Fletcher (Bou)
    Fonte (Wat)

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fonte

      1. LakhaneeFC
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, thinking of going that way - hopefully they strong together a clean sheet this week

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fletch

      1. LakhaneeFC
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It's just that I don't think West Ham have quite figured out their defence yet, and will concede. While Fletcher is unlikely to give me more than 2/3 points

        Hence leaning towards Fonte, who has an upside - even though miniscule

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fonte

      1. LakhaneeFC
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you!

        Definitely leaning towards him out of the two

      Play sigurdsson.

      I told you.

      1. LakhaneeFC
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, hence the followup 🙂

        Am playing Siggy, but still need to play one of the other two right?

    5. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years

      Fonte

      1. LakhaneeFC
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks! Almost unanimous, will go with him

    I know this has probably been answered a million times but do we know the teams with blanks on game week 28 now ?

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A trillion times I think , check hot topics

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years

        sextillion times actually

        1. Debauchy

          haha googled and Yep

    is it worth trying to get 11 players for GW28 when half the players in your team will only get 2 or 3 points max. Instead would it better to have 7 or 8 players and really focus on those players who will score more points.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Look at the long term. Don't think ruining your team for one GW is worth it.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        this is my exact thoughts, I'm seeing to many people trying to have 11 players for gw 28, I don't think its worth it

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yep, no point in bringing in the likes of Caroll (either the Swansea or WHU one) just because they have a fixture.

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yep. A fighting fit Caroll (WH) would be a no brainer.
            But he aint that these days is he

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. Im thinking 8 or 9 max. Getting 11 at all costs will leave you short going forward imo. Such poor teams playing and you will need to shed with hits to get back on track

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        this is my exact thoughts, I'm seeing to many people trying to have 11 players for gw 28, I don't think its worth it

        1. Debauchy

          Agree. Many twists and turns follow GW 28
