The Stock Check – Gameweek 34 – Wednesday

Spurs grind out a vital victory, Arsenal need help to triumph and Middlesbrough pick up their first three points of the year on a dour but important night of Premier League fare. A long and meandering Gameweek 34 is nearly over, with few well-owned assets enjoying a profitable Wednesday night.

Here’s the Stock Check…

On the Rise

Christian Eriksen
In the rush to pick up Spurs stars for their Double Gameweek 37, the Danish midfielder has been rather left behind.

More than 30,000 managers sold Eriksen ahead of their trip to Selhurst Park and he duly punished that lack of faith with a stunning winner to keep the title race alive and his loyal 18% ownership happy.

That’s three goals and as many assists over the last six Gameweeks for Eriksen. Add in nine bonus points, including a maximum last night, and he’s provided 49 points over that period – the 35.2%-owned Dele Alli has 42 points from the same haul of goal and assists, but can’t match his team-mate for bonus awards.

The pair remain key assets for the run-in, with Harry Kane’s assist for Eriksen keeping his own output simmering ahead of Sunday’s decidedly crucial North London derby.

Indeed, Kane remains the top FPL transfer target since the previous deadline passed, with over 34,000 new owners snapping him up.

Nacho Monreal, Gabriel
The Spanish defender is thriving in Arsene Wenger’s brave new world of three at the back.

The 3-4-2-1 formation was rolled out again in the 1-0 win over Leicester City, though the Gunners’ manager’s decision to play Kieran Gibbs at left wing-back allowed Monreal to switch to left centre-back at the expense of Rob Holding.

That derails plans to exploit the young centre-half’s 4.0 price as we consider how best to take advantage of Arsenal’s two Double Gameweeks still to come.

But it should boost Monreal’s attractiveness. He’s not the cheapest at 5.8, but Wenger has used the versatile Spaniard in all but two league matches this season.

His 12-point haul last night included an assist for Robert Huth’s own goal, a clean sheet and maximum bonus points.

A cheaper option involves Gabriel (4.8), who has started all three matches of Wenger’s new-look Arsenal in light of Shkodran Mustafi’s ongoing injury absence.

Choosing Gunners defenders remains risky, however – last night’s clean sheet was only a third since Gameweek 21 and they face Spurs and Southampton away and host Manchester United over the next three fixtures.

A knee injury picked up by Laurent Koscielny last night clouds the issue further. Although the Frenchman managed to play through the pain to finish the Leicester match, Wenger conceded post-match that he’s yet to ascertain the extent of the problem.

In Decline

Alvaro Negredo
More than 150,000 managers rolled the dice and captained the striker for Middlesbrough’s Double Gameweek and the Spaniard duly produced the slimmest of pickings.

Negredo’s 14.9% ownership base was never likely to hold onto him anyway – Boro still have to face three of the top four – but four measly points from his two Gameweek 34 outings has sparked an early, and probably rage-fuelled, exodus, with nearly 26,000 managers selling him already.

We can expect that to escalate over the next two days, though – Negredo has been sold by over 10,000 managers in the last 24 hours, more than any other player.

Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean midfielder remains the game’s riskiest proposition.

Ignore him and Fantasy Premier League’s leading points scorer has six matches to show that ignorance is not always bliss.

Keep or buy him in and we’ll be betting the house – or at least a hefty 11.5 – on a player with just two goals and an underwhelming 25 points from his last six league starts.

The jury remains out on the impact Arsenal’s new formation is having on Sanchez. He was moved back to the central striker role against Leicester City, with Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil flanking him, but that didn’t improve his output.

He managed just two shots, both from outside the area, with one hitting the bar. But he has scored twice in three matches in all competitions since the switch to a defensive three took place.

Sticking or twisting on Sanchez looks like being one of the biggest decisions as we prepare for our crucial final Wildcard of the season.

Son Heung-min
The general wisdom is that we’ll need three Spurs players in our sides from here on in.

Until recently, one of them was likely to be the South Korean midfielder.

But Mauricio Pochettino has created considerable doubt in our minds now. He used Son as a wing-back in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final and benched him at Selhurst Park last night.

A half-time switch to a four-man defence gave Son a second chance and he was a key part of an improved Spurs performance after the break, but there is no place for doubt when Pochettino’s charges have just five matches left to garner us points.

With Kane, Alli and Eriksen looking undroppable, Son’s 12.2% ownership have a decision to make – over 6,000 have already jumped ship over the last 24 hours.

Mamadou Sakho
A mini-rush to tap into Palace’s defensive assets for their Double Gameweek 34 didn’t include Sakho as he was ineligible to play in the first match against parent club Liverpool.

But the Eagles are undoubtedly a far tougher proposition with the Frenchman at the heart of their defence, so the knee injury he sustained against Spurs last night weakens the attraction of holding on to relatively cheap Palace defenders throughout the run-in.

Sakho looks highly likely to have played his final match this season, according to Sam Allardyce.

“He has hyperextended the knee. It is certainly serious enough to keep him out for who knows how long, we won’t know until we diagnose it, but if it is ligament it may be the end (of his loan spell), it may not.”

Those of us with Wildcards can weather the storm, but it’s not quite so simple for the rest.

With James Tomkins also currently sidelined, those looking for a budget enabler from the Palace back line ahead of attractive home matches with Burnley and their (albeit single) Gameweek 37 clash with Hull City could well be drawn to the 4.2-priced Martin Kelly.

Wilfried Zaha
Snapped up by over 144,000 FPL managers for Palace’s pair of fixtures, Zaha proved a bitter disappointment.

While Christian Benteke backers were rewarded with 14 points over the Double Gameweek, Zaha limped in with just three points to show for his troubles, with last night’s late booking merely adding injury to insult.

Already, Zaha is the third most transferred out midfielder in the Gameweek, despite that favourable upcoming home clash with the Clarets.

Although some 17% owners may look to hold for the Burnley encounter, trips to Man City and Man United in the final three suggest that Zaha looks set to depart many more squads once the weekend has passed, particularly for those set to wield wildcards in time for Double Gameweek 36.

    Play Zaha,Coutinho,Lukaku or bench one of them and get Gabby in for Carrol for a hit?

      Davies game time risk with Rose coming back

      • 8 Years

      About right I think - just a case of checking Jesus fitness tonight - are you doing this week?

      1. Razak Ping Pong
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        will probably do it right after the trade deadline on saturday

    3. seanysheep
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Are Stephens, holgate,gabriel and Davies all starters?

      1. Razak Ping Pong
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        all rotation risks, but at that price level not many surefire starters i'm afraid:)

  3. Bubz

    Starting to realise my team is a bit of a shambles for the GW37 Bench Boost.

    So many crap non DGWers - Benteke, Zaha, Gibson, Holgate, Valdes, De Roon. Going to have to take some HITS

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Benteke and Holgate worth keeping IMO

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        But yes, not for the DGW bench boost as such.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha & Benteke have a decent fixture Hull at home. You can keep one of them.

      Holgate looks good for a clean sheet against Watford at home.

      Rest need to leave the team.

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Priority of getting rid should be : Gibson,Valdes,Zaha,De Roon,Benteke,Holgate
      Valdes before Gibson If u dont have a keeper with a decent fixture

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years

        Aye, cheers

  4. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years

    is anyone concerned about Sane being a rotation risk? When Silva is back I'm thinking if Pep gives Sterling another run?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure what's happening with sterling

      Although if Jesus comes in we could see sane out as pep said he wouldn't play with wingers if Jesus and aguero played

      1. seanie3
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Sane wont' be coming out of the team, Pep loves him and was one of his buys...

    2. rnrd
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      As crazy as it sounds, I think that from GK to Striker, I can't name a 100% nailed City player until the end of the season

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Nope, I would agree with that. I'd say De Bruyne might be most likely

        1. rnrd
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I agree, KDB and Kompany if the latter can remain fit

  5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Play Zaha,Coutinho,Lukaku or bench one of them and get Gabby in for Carrol for a hit

    1. Chris_H

      Play them all

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers so keep Carroll for one more week and get Gabbi next week?

    2. Forza Juventus
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Would probably just play them and avoid the hit. I love Gabbi but worried about Hull's desperation and recent resilience at the back..

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years

        Cheers mate Im just doing Valencia to Bailly then!

  14. dunas_dog

    Assuming Jesus has some playing time tonight would you rather have Jesus or Sane in your squad for final few weeks?

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Jesus no brainer.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years

      Jesus.

    3. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Neither. If one plays the other doesn't i reckon, and they'll be rotated

    4. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Jesus. There are not good striker for DGW (Vardy and Costa is on consideration).

    5. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Jesus.

    Bedknobs and boomsticks put up a great analysis earlier making a case against Sanchez for the doubles. As a riposte, I’ve done a crude bit of fixture analysis.
    Sanchez’s 4 DGW matches are: Man Utd (H), Southampton (A), Stoke (A), Sunderland (H). I’ve compared the other top 5 midfielders in the game in the corresponding fixtures:

    Man Utd (H) – Hazard (8), Alli (TBC), Eriksen (TBC), Firmino (3). Average = 5.5
    Southampton (A) – Hazard (14), Alli (15), Eriksen (10), Firmino (3). Average = 10.5
    Stoke (A) – Hazard (inj), Alli (8), Eriksen (11), Firmino (5). Average = 8
    Sunderland (H) – Hazard (TBC), Alli (6), Eriksen (inj), Firmino (3). Average = 4.5

    A somewhat crude analysis I know, small sample size and these guys all play in different ways, but it does give an indication of midfield big hitter performance versus the teams in question. It surprised me just how generous Southampton appear to be when facing top sides, and how tight Sunderland were! All 4 teams are on average giving up a return a game to a big hitter though, and the overall average across the 4 fixtures is 7 points.

    TLDR: 7 points per DGW fixture is a fair expectation of Sanchez.

      Despite this being 'back of the fag packet' stuff this is great analysis

      1. The Rumour Mill
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Haha sometimes dumbing it down isn't a bad thing, the large number of Costa owners in my minileague this week can attest to that!

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He's going to be my TC. I just want more than 9 points.

    3. Bedknobs and Boomsticks

      I like this. The sot thing is interesting

  16. seanie3
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    really want monreal but can't afford him so will probably get gabriel, however is he nailed on even when mustafi returns. do you think wengers starting 11 most weeks will be

    gabriel kos mustafi
    bellerin/ox ramsey xhaka monreal
    ozil sanchez
    giroud

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Think he'd go Holding for some games

    2. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Gabriel isn't nailed, no. Can't see him starting every league match, though to be fair even Monreal may be rotated with Gibbs because of the fixture congestion.

      I think that could be the team, but he will also play Walcott, Gibbs and Holding occasionally

  17. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Who's more important to get in this week before I WC?

    A) King

    B) Gabbiadini

    1. dhamphiir

      King

        Alright thanks

  18. jamie1972

    Yet another WC template post....

    (avoiding the Man City rotation minefield altogether)

    Cech / Pick

    Alonso / Gabriel / Yoshi / Holgate / Dawson

    Sanchez / Hazard / Alli / Eriksen / JWP

    Anichibe / Kane / Costa

    (Playing 352 & BB in 37 so anything Anichibe can fluke for me then's a small bonus)

    Downgrade Sanchez to Ozil to beef the def or stick?

    Or rip it up for the umpteenth time (today)

    1. Sickboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I really like it, but isn't Gabriel a rotation risk?

      1. jamie1972
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Downgraded Cech to Boruc to upgrade Gabriel to Monreal (also Dawson to Stephens)

        Happy with it now, barring any injury news pre-deadline sticking..

  19. I Member

    6 years, 11 months ago

    De Gea
    Alonso - Vertonghen - Bailly
    Sanchez - Hazard - Alli - King - Zaha
    Kane - Benteke

    Pickford, Yoshida, Negredo, Holgate

    1 FT 1.2 ITB

    A) Save
    B) Negredo -> Gabbiadini (bench Zaha)

    Seems wiser to save as I've already played my WC and could use the extra week to help decide if I really want Gabbiadini.

    1. frenchfries
      • 7 Years

      Zaha might outscore gabbi this GW

    Son plays at wing back and Spurs lose.
    He's benched and Spurs can't score until he comes on.
    Surely Poch will see the error of his ways.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He should be proud of his "Son" 😉

    2. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He can use Son as super sub

    3. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 9 Years

      Overhyped and overestimated manager. Poch is a poor man's Wenger. Won nothing.

      Tbf Spurs were playing the 2nd best team in the league in last 8 matches according to form.

      I was never expecting it to be a goal fest even though I did own Triple Spurs attack.

    Need confirmation before pulling the trigger on Valencia--->Bailly on my FT
    (Have to BB in 37 and dont have WC)
    Jaku(Pickford)
    Walker Valencia Stephens(Holgate)(Gibson)
    Coutinho Sanchez Zaha Alli King
    Kane Lukaku(Carroll)

      Yeah. More nailed.

        Is my team G2G after that move?

          Yeah, he needs to go I think, then you look fairly solid.

      Yep I might do Clichy instead of Bailly but yep agree with shipping Valencia

    Can someone explain where all the Jesus hype has come from? He's coming back from serious injury, Aguero has form, and Pep loves to change his system and rotate anyway, regardless of Jesus's lack of fitness

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      We have seen what Jesus can do

      The biggest differential of them all

      Although pep said he's not fully fit but i understand people considering him

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Pep has been very negative on his fitness so far I thought. Can't see him getting through 90 minutes for several weeks

    2. The Rumour Mill
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Because last time he was fit he started 2 games, played 90 mins in both and scored 24 points across those 2 matches.

    A. Stones & Costa

    Or

    B. Alonso & Jesus

    ?

      Jesus doubt, lets see how he does tonight

      Inclined towards B, let's see after tonight.

    3. Bunk Moreland

      Too early for Jesus, so A.

    No replies on last post, trying one more time 🙂
    What is the better WC team?

    A)
    Pickford Jaku
    Alonso Clichy Gabriel Stephens Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard Alli King JWP
    Gabbi Kane Costa

    B)
    Pickford Cech
    Alonso Clichy Bailly Yoshida Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard Alli King Coutinho
    Gabbi Kane Anichebe

    BB and TC still available

    A is more focused on defence and B more in the attack

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I like the balance of A actually mate. Gives you more throughout the team, and the actual core xi is great.

      1. frenchfries
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, seems like the most popular one. Was set on the Kane Gabbi Anichebe before Costa went nuts.

    2. Jimjam

      A

        Thanks mate

        Thanks 🙂

    4. Hooky
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Much prefer A due to Costa over Anichebe

      1. frenchfries
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, seem to be the main reasoning, before yesterday he wasnt even considered :p

  25. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Heaton, Jakupovic
    Valencia, Davies, Robertson, Stephens, Wilson
    Sanchez, Alli, King, Zaha, Carroll
    Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

    1) Zaha & Lukaku --> Hazard & Gabbiadini (-4)

    2) Save FT

    1. Jimjam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      (No WC by the way)

    2. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I'd keep Zaha for Bur and then bring Haz in for MID in 36. Why not do Gabbi with Hull and the double double afterwards in for Kaku only?

  26. Bunk Moreland
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team guys? Appreciate it immensely!

    Gomes Pickford

    Monreal Rose/Vertongen Clichy Stephens Holgate

    Hazard Coutinho Sane King JWP

    Costa Kane Vardy

    Also, if I went for this team, would you get it in 35 or 36?

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Ohh Gomes to save a pen lol

      Only concern is lack of a Spurs mid for me. Rose/Vert down to Yoshi and King to Alli/Eriksen?

      I'd get it in 36.

      1. Bunk Moreland
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks a lot!

        Yeah, that is the conundrum. I rate King a lot, but you are probably right that Eriksen will outscore him. However I don't see a Saints CS, whereas Spurs could get CS in any match... so I think I am happy with prioritizing a Spurs def over a mid.

        yeah, I remember that Gomes 20 pointer from last year 😉 It's his time to shine!

    2. Scheister
      • 11 Years

      Looks nice, Spurs mid and/or Sanchez wouldn't hurt.

      1. Bunk Moreland
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers Scheister.

    All chips left. Seems like this is the reasonable week to WC. Can't seem to get things straight though.
    Have Walker cheap, and would hate to get rid now, not sure on Stones, any other suggestions?? Cheers

    Pickford ____
    Walker Monreal Yoshida Stones Maguire
    Sanchez Hazard Alli King ____
    Kane Gabbi ____

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      If you got Walker for 5,5 I would keep for sure.

      Could you shift Yoshida to Stephens and Stones to Clichy for example?

      How much money ITB for the remaining positions?

      Grateful for any comment on my team above.

    Which MF would you look to be getting rid off first out of

    Redmond - especially with the rotation risk of Boufal
    Lanzini

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I'd sell Lanzini because Redmond is still likely to get a least a game a DGW, and he might get two as Boufal is injury prone.

      Lanzini has one maximum and west ham look dire atm.

    GW:35 AOA
    Pickford
    Baily Yoshida Sanchez, King(VC), Hazard, Alli,
    Zaha
    Gabbi, Kane(C), Tekkers

    Subs: Alonso, Stephens, Gibson

    G2G? Bench propely arranged? 🙂

    Anyone else captaining Aguero this week??

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 8 Years

      Providing he looks rotation proof tonight (Based on fitness and Jesusness)

    2. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I want to, but I am afraid of Jesus...
