Fixtures

Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 26 – The Weak

After assessing the teams who appear best placed to thrive through this turbulent upcoming period of fixtures, we now turn our attention to those who present a more rocky outlook over the next four to six Gameweeks.

Arsenal look to have the most unfavourable schedule, suffering a pair of blanks and some testing fixtures, while both Manchester City and Southampton assets demand hands-on management over the month ahead.

Arsenal

((bla), liv, (bla), wba, MCI, WHM)

With two blank Gameweeks, and difficult match-ups with Liverpool and Manchester City, in particular, the outlook for Arsenal assets remains gloomy in the short-term, and, bar the obvious appeal of the double Gameweeks (DGW), the Gunners’ run-in also appears testing.

Both City and Liverpool are among the teams that have allowed the fewest number of shots from inside the box over the last four Gameweeks, so Arsenal may struggle to harvest attacking points in those ties.

West Bromwich Albion have also kept clean sheets in their last two clashes at The Hawthorns, leaving the West Ham United showdown as the only reasonably appealing fixture for Arsenal over the next six Gameweeks.

Alexis Sanchez is easily the most viable attacking option among Arsene Wenger’s charges and yet it’s no surprise that over 87,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers have opted to ditch the Chilean ahead of Gameweek 26.

Equally, there looks little need to claim or hold an Arsenal defender through this period.

Aside from the blanks, there is no favourable match-up from a defensive point of view, with City and West Ham having scored 10 and eight goals respectively over the last four Gameweeks, while Liverpool and West Brom also have to be fancied on home soil.

Southampton

((bla), wat, (bla), tot, BOU, CPL)

Claude Puel’s men also endure two blanks over the next three, while, outside of the double Gameweeks, it’s only a spell of three home matches in four from Gameweek 30 that offers any real appeal.

From a defensive standpoint, matches against Watford, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace may well yield a shut-outs for those that decide to stick with a Southampton defender through this period.

No available Saints defender currently boasts an ownership of more than 1.8%, though, and that seems unlikely to change in the short-term.

It’s a similar story when assessing the attacking prospects, with those same three fixtures offering the potential for profit.

Despite the blanks, Manolo Gabbiadini’s three goals in two matches has urged more than 108,000 FPL managers to snap up the Italian striker.

He could prosper from Gameweek 30, but non-owners will certainly be content to reserve judgement until that point.

Also be wary of…

Manchester City
City’s outlook swung dramatically with yesterday’s announcement of a potential double Gameweek 27.

Pep Guardiola’s men still have to navigate past Huddersfield in their FA Cup replay next Wednesday before that can be confirmed.

Even so, with a trip to Sunderland and a visit to Stoke City on the cards for Gameweek 27, there is no doubt that we’re viewing City’s assets far differently following Wednesday’s revelation.

Having said that, City remain out of bounds for Gameweek 26 and will also suffer a blank in Gameweek 28.

In addition, following the two blanks, Guardiola’s men suffer an evil run of three matches (LIV ars che) that will test their ability to contend the title race with leaders Chelsea.

While Fantasy managers will clearly target short-term investment in City ahead of Gameweek 27, that schedule looks certain to ensure that exit plans are considered soon after.

Outside of John Stones, who still boasts an FPL ownership of 14.9%, City defenders have barely featured on our radars. That is likely to remain the case, despite the possible double Gameweek.

It’s the City attack that clearly warrants interest, with Sergio Aguero inevitably now earmarked as a potential Gameweek 27 captain.

Wingers Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling also deserve our attention but, following Gameweek 27, they seem likely to give way as we switch attention to alternative double Gameweek assets and consider a midfield recall for Sanchez.

Stoke City
Like City, our views of the Potters changed with news that a possible double Gameweek 27 was looming.

And, like City, around that scenario, Stoke remain a no-go zone.

Even considering the likely improved returns in Gameweek 27, Mark Hughes men fail to sustain that appeal, with Spurs and Chelsea among their opponents in the next three, along with the Etihad trip.

Those holding Stoke assets – particularly Peter Crouch and Joe Allen – will clearly preserve them ahead of the potential double-header with Middlesbrough (home) and City (away) but need to be aware that a blank in Gameweek 28 now looms as a possibility.

Following that, Hughes’ men will be tested by a visit from Chelsea, with trips to relegation-threatened Leicester City and Burnley after that.

While, on paper, those latter fixtures look winnable, Stoke’s away form is far from encouraging. Two clean sheets and 14 goals from 12 road trips would suggest that we should temper our expectations and prepare an exit plan should the Gameweek 27 double materialise.

Crystal Palace
In the short-term, Palace’s schedule appears reasonable, with home clashes against Middlesbrough and Watford over the next four Gameweeks.

Sam Allardyce’s men also face a blank in Gameweek 28, though, along with a trip to leaders Chelsea in Gameweek 30. Meanwhile, the run-in combines favourable home fixtures with difficult away trips, pairing them with title contenders and relegation battlers – a punishing combination.

Those clinging to Palace assets should consider holding in the short-term, with the awareness that the mid and long-term prospects appear bleak unless there is a marked improvement in form and fortune.

Sunderland
The outlook for the Black Cats looks very grim in the short-term, with matches against Everton and Manchester City, followed by a blank in Gameweek 28.

The home fixture against Burnley in Gameweek 29 looks mission critical for David Moyes’ side, then, with equally vital away trips to Watford and Leicester City to follow.

Jermain Defoe will need to prove fixture proof over next three Gameweeks, then, with his 28.9% ownership perhaps likely to diminish should he falter.

As for the Sunderland defence, they will surely remain ignored, with the likes of Lamine Kone filed as a future option when news of the double Gameweek breaks.

Bournemouth
Despite having guaranteed fixtures in Gameweeks 26 and 28, we should be wary of overinvestment in Cherries assets. Their fixture list turns dramatically from Gameweek 30 onwards, handing them a tortuous path through the Easter period (sot, liv, CHE, tot).

Eddie Howe’s charges present reasonable short-term prospects with Josh King the main target thanks to his new role as the Cherries’ lone striker.

King dropped back into a No 10 role against City last time out, though, and with Benik Afobe an option to Howe, there are no guarantees of a sustained spell in that position for the 5.3 midfielder.

Those who have stubbornly retained Junior Stanislas will be hoping for a recall at The Hawthorns on Saturday, while their terrible defensive record of late leaves members of their backline classified as “undesirable”.

      With so much waiting for so long to decide upon my transfers after the spurs match... Suddenly no idea what i'm looking towards transfer wise after the DGW 27 announcement

      Really confused what to do

      Grant Pick
      Azpi Alonso Walker Coleman Amat
      Sanchez Alli Eriksen Phillips Deroon
      Carroll Benteke Ibra

      2 FT 1.5itb

      Any suggestions??? cause i'm at a loss

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

        Pretty easy. Sanchez and Benteke to Aguero and Sterling with 2 FTs

    5. MTPockets
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Bottomed... Still have Sanchez, but Chambers doubt risks only 10 playing. This look ok?

        26: Sanchez >> Firmino
        27. Costa + Alli >> Aguero + Sterling (-4)
        28. Amat + Sterling >> Robertson + Snodgrass (9 playing & -4)
        29. Phillips >> Sanchez

        1. KUNingas

                Just due to selling Aguero recently & crappy defence.

              not exactly early though, both nailed in matches that matter

                      Sterling I think, but not 100% on having 2 mci yet.

                  If you don't know now it's unlikely the situation will change in the meantime. Difficult decision but to cloud the issue even more I wouldn't be ruling out Firmino .

                Given (i) the Carroll news & (ii) I'm WCing next week, best move here?

                A) Sanchez & Ibra -> Hazard & Costa/Lukaku (-4)
                B) Sanchez, Sterling & Ibra -> Mane, Hazard & Costa/Lukaku (-8)

                    Not really feasible given my team. I want Lukaku this week and Ibra, triple MCY (incl Aguero) & Siggy next week. Plus I have big GW28 issues.

                  Wow , desperate days Jins.

                  If you are convinced re WC then A would be my move

                    • 14 Years
                    7 years, 8 months ago

                    Yeah I think so. I was on the fence before the likely MCY DGW was announced, which I think has tipped me over.

                    You think Carroll starts this w/e? If not then I think the extra hit would be worth it.

                Anyone know why lukaku has gone from +60 to +01 on statistics?! And Sanchez is showing as if he's being bought and going away from price drop!

                    But he was plus 60 this morning, surely he can't be reset because someone decided that "he will be ok for next game" required a flag?

                1) or 2)? 🙂

                1)
                GW27: Stanislas-> Sterling
                GW28: Sterling -> Siggy
                (8 playing)
                GW29: Hazard -> Sanchez

                2)
                GW27: Lukaku -> Aguero
                GW28: Aguero -> Lukaku
                (7 playing, 8 with Stanislas)
                GW29: Hazard/Mane -> Sanchez

                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  2 but I still would want Siggy

                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 8 months ago

                    Then I have to do Alli -> Siggy for -4 in GW27 or doing Rose and Phillips -> Robertson/Maguire for -8. Worth it?

                      First one or none.

                Would you sell IBRA or KANE for AGUERO?

                  I'd sell Kane but not in caps

                Who scores more?
                A) Ibra (BOU), Lukaku (tot) + Eriksen (EVE) + 8pts
                B) Aguero (C) (sun,STK) + Sterling (sun,STK)

                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  Assume Ibra Cpt with A ?
                  Who knows , but all about Aguero getting both starts.
                  Or If he plays a part at least in both games, then B.

                    No . They have to beat Huddersfield reserves first.

                0.5 off Defoe to Kun next week. Probably a good thing. Saves hassle. But I do like hassle. Mmmm, hassle.

                2 of Mane/Firmino.Coutinho looks good for GW28. Everyone will be doubling up eventually

                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  I went Coutinho and Firmino. Surely now Mane is only who scores 😀

                  I'm doing it so I have the option of either Costa or Ibra > Aguero next week.

                      Or not at all, if no DGW, might just get Siggy and LIV mid, with GW27 & 28 transfers....

                So FPL towers has now typing "none" for the fixture if any player got blank.

                Unlucky Gabbiadini owners, blame Mark at your peril.

                Sanchez owners who bought him at 10.9. What are you gna do/done? Currently can sell him for 11.3. Anyone reckon he'll be that price by gw 28

                  check Mane's last 9 fixtures.. he looks a must than Sanchez

                  worry about getting back Sanchez later

                  Selling him tonight. I reckon he'll go down .3 by 29

                4. MTPockets
                    7 years, 8 months ago

                    Bought @ 11 so can take another drop, but he's going by sat and hope drops a lot more.

                    Sell. Points are King. Though always tough to loose so much value
                    Always a way to compensate though , always

                      My rights exactly. Most lent will get mane today but just need that push from someone to tell me it's ok to do so

                        • 11 Years

                        Yeah . We're all in similar ships at the moment , icebergs all around

                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 8 months ago

                    I'm going to ship him out for Mane later prior to price drop and take the 0.4 made .. Hopefully he drops a few times in the next 3 weeks

                  • Holmes
                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 8 months ago

                    11.6 by weekend, then atleast one drop I guess and then another drop for GW28, so should be 11.4 or if lucky, even less

                    1. Reggie Nainggolan
                      • 7 Years
                      7 years, 8 months ago

                      Hope so. Planning on getting him back after the two blanks. Not worried about LIV A as arsenal always struggle in the big games

                    • 9 Years
                    7 years, 8 months ago

                    He will probably fall about 0.2-0.3m more IMO. Already sold him.

                  What are people thinking for the TC? Sounds like 37 will be best for the BB so that looks to me like the candidates are:

                  a) Aguero next week (STO, sun)
                  b) Sanchez in 34 (SUN, sot/LEI?)

                  A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Sanchez could be injured come GW34....

                    If arsenal reach the semi finals of the FA cup they wont have a double in GW34

                      Ah, good point. Pretty unlikely they lose also given their draw. So when do we think their other DGW would be?

                          Yep, so long as MCY win their FA cup tie i'll be pushing the button

                            TC isn't an option then.

                      He'll still have to have a DGW sometime other than 37 though..

                        Likely a CL midweek so GW35 or 36. They play Spurs GW35 and United GW36 iirc.

                          Advantage Sergio

                          Makes the case for Aguero in 27 that bit stronger...hmmm

                        He certainly will not sure when that will be. Whats your plans for the chips? Really we should all just follow what you do 😉

                      Thought Aguero tc was silly; not so sure now. Sanchez could be injured as you say, or if Walcott's injured that risks formation changed back again.

                      Seriously tempted to wack it on Sergio in 27.

                    7 years, 8 months ago

                    Made a mistake in my previous post, this is correct:
                    Who scores more?
                    A) 8pts + KDB (C)(sun,STK) + Lukaku (tot)
                    B) Aguero (C)(sun,STK) + Sterling (sun,STK)

                    A is effectively 5 players plus 8 points, B is 6 players but with arguably a better captain. It's a gamble that the city guys all play, of course.

                    The transfers I'd do to obtain B are:
                    27: Eriksen, Lukaku > Aguero, Sterling (-4) ||||| 28: Aguero, Sterling > Lukaku, Coutinho/Firmino (-4)
                    The transfers to obtain A are:
                    27: Eriksen > KDB ||||| 28: KDB > Coutinho/Firmino

                    Is (C) Kun (also effectively gives me an extra fixture) worth 8 points?

                    1. The Tinkerman
                      • 9 Years
                      7 years, 8 months ago

                      Also, the 8pt hit opens up the possibility of (TC) Aguero, I wouldn't risk that on a city midfielder.

                    2. MTPockets
                        7 years, 8 months ago

                        Don't think KDB's the best points option now, so B.

                      Need your help!

                      Jaku
                      Walker, Alonso, Nyom
                      Eriksen, Siggy, Alli, Phillips
                      Lukaku, Costa, Barnes

                      Grant, Holgate, Sanchez, Yoshi

                      Obviously Sanchez and Yoshi are inactive this week. Used a transfer to get Costa in for Ibra, got £2m in the bank.

                      So the problem comes with Jonny Evans return. Nyom and Phillips are at risk, and with Holgate not getting a game in recent weeks I could be stuck with 10 men this GW.

                      Any ideas?

                      My only idea so far was to bring Mawson in for Yoshi, I know short term it's not the best especially for a hit with them playing Chelsea away next but after that their fixtures are very nice. Don't have a wildcard so need to do everything with GW 28 in mind.

                      Is it worth taking a hit to bring Costa in for Defoe. I dont have hazard. I also plan on swapping him for Ibra the next week. The way i see it is that Costa at home to swansea is too good to turn down.

                      (a) Yes
                      (b) No

                        Possibly but not by loads immediately. He can't be trusted to haul.-

                        He's scored more vs. Swansea than any other EPL club.

                        Bring him in and captain him. If you don't want to captain him I'd leave it as he's not explosive enough to get a huge haul to make up for the -4

                      Just figured it out. Can't believe it took so long. It's obvious who is going to come to the rescue in GW26 and GW28. Who is the cheap bench fodder player who delivers points hauls when, and ONLY when, you have nobody else who can play - it's George Boyd of course. He's going to do it again, isnt he. Same price as Stanislas.

                        It's gonna be so tempting to keep Aguero if he does well in the DGW...

                          Nah, I'm having a dirty one week stand with Kun then chucking him to the curb for some Lukaku loving

                        This might sound a bit crackers but kinda glad I'm not getting a LIV mid now.

                        Which everyone you get, there's four others ready to steal their points.

                        Mane - Firmino - Coutinho - Lallana - Milner.

                        I can live without that frustration. I think.

                          Get 2 of the first 3 mentioned and you're sorted

                          Crackers is what you/we do
                          But yeah , getting in any Liverpool mid for the short term seems high risk for possible low reward
                          Who knows which one if for a 2 or 3 week punt

                            In so saying still gonna punt on 1 for 28
