Technical Area – The Rise of Ben Davies

It’s been quite a start to the season for Ben Davies. Currently leading all defenders in terms of points with 49 – a number which trails only Sergio Aguero and Romelu Lukaku at any position – the Welshman’s form is inarguable.

In the six matches in which he has featured (Davies was rested for Spurs’ home encounter with Swansea in Gameweek 5), he has returned an average of 8.2 points per match (ppm) – more than a point clear of his closest rival (Antonio Valencia’s 6.7).

Last season, Davies performed admirably while deputising for the injured Danny Rose – racking up a goal and three assists, in addition to his share of Spurs’ league-leading clean sheet total. However, his attacking returns this campaign (two goals, three assists) have already exceeded last season’s totals in just 30% of the minutes.

In order to better interpret this attacking leap, we’ll be breaking down Davies’ early-season heroics, and looking for players who might serve as good benchmarks for projecting the Welshman’s performance over the remainder of the campaign.

      Sexy defence! Different, I like it.

        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Although personally I'd dial it down a bit and put Jones in for Valencia, and use the money to upgrade Pedro. Does ruin the slightly maverick quality of the team a bit though 🙂

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I'd love to save the money but Jones has a knock, is a massive injury risk anyway and has no attacking threat. Who would you upgrade Pedro too?

          1. grumpyman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Sterling, Silva, Sane, Mkhi? Jones will deffo play, he's basically being rested this IB, straight back in after the IB and provides great long term value.

    2. IWR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Like it all bar Dier. Look elsewhere, defence is nice.

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Would not waste a spurs pick with Dier.
      Valencia hard fixtures and expensive
      Prefer Pope over Fab
      Pedro rotation risk.
      6/10

    4. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years

      Jones for Valencia?

    6. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

      I'd get the man in the article ahead of every premium defender you have

    7. Colonial
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Dier is a fantastic holding MF but like Matic not for FFpoints

    8. dimitros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Team is built up in order to play 5-3-2 if this is what you want..

  2. IWR
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Best midfielder under 7.5?

    To make a midfield of: Eriksen / Silva / ______ / RLC (Carroll)

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ramsey? Or maybe Willian..

      1. IWR
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Looking at points per match Richardson at 5.7 is fantastic. Two terrible fixtures but he's looked great so far. Can play.

    2. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Richalrison

    3. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Richalison or Ritchie.

      1. Blonde Faith
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah this was my dilemma recently. Long and short: Ritchie works far too hard without reward – goals, assists, BPs – compared to Richarlison, making the latter sure to outscore him in fantasy terms. No brainer really...

        1. IWR
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yep, Richarlison over Ritchie every day of the week.

    4. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Lanzini for potential or Richarlison after 2 games.

      1. IWR
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Don't mind the Lanzini shout

    5. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not much at that 6.5-7.5 range that stands out.

      Would go lower (Richarlison/Ritchie) and use the cash elsewhere.

    6. Ole's at the wheel
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Richarlison looks too good to not draft in

    7. IWR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      The only thing thats turning me off Richardson is the next two fixtures. From there he looks amazing, might just bite the bullet. Arsenal home might have some goals in it.

      1. CABAYE4
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'd be very surprised if Watford don't score against Arsenal.

        Richarlison and Gray will have too much pace for their back 3.

    8. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Redmond will come big.

    9. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Stay away from Willian....had him for 7 GW's and he did nowt for that price tag.

      I currently have Ritchie in that price bracket but he'll become Richarlison in GW10 once Wat get Ars and Che out the way next 2.

      I hope you're not banking on RLC as your fourth mid yet. 4 tough games before fixture turn in GW 12 and playing Chelsea this week so cannot play against parent team

  3. Ole's at the wheel

    Need some opinions on this one cheers

        Ok thanks!

    2. IWR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No FT? Looks good if so. If WC I'd be looking at a Haz downgrade to try and get Quaner up to Jesus.

      1. J T
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Have 1FT but no WC, Only just got Hazard as their fixtures look great and he could be a great differential, he's got 2 weeks to do something or he's gone and 3rd striker comes in 😀

        1. IWR
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          G2G then. Good luck

    3. Ole's at the wheel
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Gtg but Jesus might be difficult try vardy maybe?

      1. J T
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah this crossed my mind! Going to give Haz a chance to do something but if he's not performing he's gone and Jesus/Vardy will come in

        Already did the transfer. Just don't feel it's right with Kane in every team in my fantasy league too....

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years

          It is a case of not do without him.

    3 questions this Friday morning.

    Best 4.5 Keeper ?
    Best 5m defender ?
    Best 4.5 Mid ?

    Thanks

    1. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pope
      Mee
      Carroll

    2. IWR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pope
      Ward
      RLC after next week

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Elliot, Mee and Carroll.

      Keep the change.

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

    Too early to get Hazard this GW?

    1. IWR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I think so. He's not exciting me as a pick this year. Better value for money elsewhere I feel

    2. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nope if you can get him with our a hit then I would

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Is gameweek 8 too early? No.

      Is it too early in the international break? Yes.

      1. Homer21
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Unless you are on a WC of course

      2. Urchin
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        The question was the former actually, sorry for confusion, of course I will wait for Belgium's match... 🙂

    4. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nope think he'll do well.

      All depends who you have to sacrifice to get him in.

      I can't seem to afford a team with Kane, Jesus, Lukaku, Alonso and Hazard in it.

      1. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        This. I think I go for 2 big on top (Jesus / Lukaku) with Hazard / Eriksen in midfield. Also own Alonso. This is for until GW11 and then using WC.

        Just difficult to find good budget forward..., surprise.

    5. Urchin
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks guys,
      Currently on Mkhi & Firmino to Hazard & Joselu,

      Will wait till all Intl matches are over....

    7. Sune

      Yes

    8. Johqvist

      I'm getting him on my WC.

  9. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Good morning All,

    Work doing Mkhitaryan and Atsu out for Iwobi and Sterling Minus 4

    Mid Sterling Silva Iwobi Salah?

    1. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Worth

    2. IWR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Iwobi very far from nailed

    3. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Iwobi not worth a hit.

      Was last GW not his first goal in 9 months or something like that?

    4. Ole's at the wheel
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nimo if u already have Silva tbh

    5. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No way Atsu to Iwobi is worth a hit. Atsu a much better pick. Iwobi is a terrible footballer. It's just like when Xhaka hauled, he won't now roll the points in each week.

      Jones - Lukaku - Ritchie plays. Morata, RLC Hunemeier wont.

      Morata to budget forward (Joselu/Abraham..?) and upgrade 4.5 mid (to Sterling / Silva?) -4

      1. lasmons
        • 9 Years

        Yup, might do that. Or could even do Morata -> Jesus and leave it like that. (And hope for rest to play)

      Very good. Can you do Lacazette to Jesus?

      1. Sune
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Well, it would give me 4 city players 🙂 shame about Morata! Quite happy with Laca though. Not really feeling Jesus and I like both Sterling and Sané as picks. Might be punished though.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          If you did Sané to Groß or Iwobi, you could do Niasse to Vardy, no?

            Unfortunately not. However, I hope Niasse may prove great value over the coming GWs.

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years

      Yes, it suits United better. Valencia the only one with a late return. But Mané & Salah only play once so that helps Liverpool, they only have issues with Coutinho and Firmino. And with their defence, of course, but that has nothing to do with international fixtures. 😉

    3. Karan14

      Groß, Ritchie, Brady & Choupo-Moting.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Ritchie or Gross if you're going dullard or maybe Redmond/Tadic if you can afford it and fancy a maverick move!

    5. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

      Just get Richarlison. I'd expect Watford to score a couple v Arsenal - strong, pacey, physical side who actually like to attack.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          That is very kind - thank you. But I am afraid Guardiola's manipulations are beyond me. The bloke to ask, is Syd.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Sterling, perhaps?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Exactly.

    4. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

      Valid point but Pep rates him and says he's capable of playing striker...

  29. troj@n
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Which two moves ?!
    A) Miki -->sterling
    B) Alli --> hazard
    C) memba --> otamendi
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years

      A+C. Alli have Bournemouth next

    2. Prokoptas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      A & C for me, I think Alli could be strong over the next few weeks.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Only C.. and if you have Kane then also B. Would avoid Sterling. But that is against what people in this site seems to believe. I think he is a rotation risk.

  30. The Seagulls and the Trawle…
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any idea who's more nailed between Martina and Holgate? I know Everton are poor at the moment, but they should get better, at least defenssively, with easier fixtures to come.

    Thx!

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
