The Stock Check

The Stock Check – Sunday

Brede Hangeland’s dismissal hands Sunderland the chance to register their first away win of the season. Steven Fletcher and Adam Johnson both play a part in two of the Black Cats’ three goals, while Dimitar Berbatov draws a rare blank as Fulham lose for the first time with the Bulgarian in their starting XI:

On the Up

Steven Fletcher
Without a strike since Gameweek 5, the Scot returned to form with a goal and assist as Sunderland made full use of their extra-man advantage following Brede Hangeland’s first-half dismissal. With four home fixtures in the next four, including double Gameweek 16, Fletcher chose the perfect time to serve a reminder of his capabilities.

Adam Johnson
The winger added to last week’s goal at Everton by providing a pair of assists as the Black Cats scored more than a single goal for only the second time this season. Johnson had previously failed to produce any attacking returns prior to Gameweek 11 but is starting to suggest he may be finally settling at the Stadium of Light.

Carlos Cuellar
Providing he’s injury-free, the Spaniard seems nailed-on at the heart of the Sunderland defence and found the net for the first time since moving to Wearside. His cut-price valuation means Cuellar is another likely candidate for his side’s upcoming fixtures, bearing in mind O’Neill’s side have conceded just three goals in four home games so far.

Stephane Sessegnon
For many a month he’s flattered to deceive but the Benin international fired home a superb effort to score for the first time since March. If Sessegnon can return to the form that produced seven goals and 12 assists last term, he could be another differential to consider over the next few.

Going Down

Brede Hangeland
Dismissed for a two-footed challenge on Lee Cattermole, the Cottagers centre-half now faces a three-match ban. Hangeland’s absence should afford Philippe Senderos a chance alongside Aaron Hughes ahead of trips to Stoke and Chelsea and a home clash against Spurs.

James McClean
A nailed-on starter under Martin O’Neill last term, the winger was omitted from the starting line-up for today’s showdown. The return of Lee Cattermole saw Seb Larsson move to the right and Adam Johnson shift over to the left as McClean dropped out for the second time in three Gameweeks.

Dimitar Berbatov
The Bulgarian was snapped up by over 230,000 FPL managers heading into today’s game after producing returns in five of his first six starts for the Cottagers. With injuries and dismissals disrupting the hosts’ rhythm, Berbatov returned a rare blank but was nevertheless full of creativity and attacking threat for Jol’s side.

Fulham Defence
There’s no denying Hangeland’s sending off played a part in today’s result but Jol’s defence continue to leak goals at an alarming rate. Fulham have now conceded three goals in all but one of their last four matches and have shipped 22 this term – only QPR and Southampton have conceded more.

    As a rookie to the game after some experienced advice.
    I got michu early and he is now worth 6.9 to me but would be 7.3 to buy back.
    Can I ever ship him or is he a forced season keeper??? What does the experienced player do?

      Dont care about the price. If you wanna keep him long term, do not sell. If you like someone better, get someone and dont worry about the 'loss' of money which is actually profit you made.

      0.4 isn't that much to worry about. If you strongly think his returns will dry up in the next few, he may even drop a few 100k plus when you weigh in any price rises for his replacement it's basically a non-issue.

      That said, I'd just keep him. He is a forced season keeper ATM due to his consistency of returns, not his price rises.

      i still have him since gw1

      so sometimes i benched him for sterling
      i think he is still doing very well so dnt see a reason why i should ship him off

      Hmmm... yeah, defence could take some work but at the moment no-one is really producing the goods.
      IMO, Baines too simply too much cash consuming. By getting rid of him it would help me free up some funds to upgrade where needed.

      Don't recommend a Silva swap? At the end of the day, I have no City players otherwise and Silva is hit for a price hike and a point boost.
      Lambert and Ba need to leave, don't have faith in the one bit.

    Season keepers. This is the group just below 'must-have' players (I dont believe there are any of those btw). I define them as players you can play every week without worry, and could reasonably keep and never drop, barring injury. Who do you think is on this list? My initial thoughts:

    GK: none
    DEF: Baines, Rafael
    MF: Hazard, Mata, Bale, Cazorla, Silva, Fellaini, Michu, Morrison
    FWD: RVP, Suarez, Tevez, Berbatov

    Any others?

          Even I think he's United's best RB. But if they're in the Champions League by Jan I don't see him having played every game in the season. And the worst part about rotation is that you miss the easy home game. Just ask Patrice.

      defenders are never season keepers for me
      sterling and michu if bought with their initial price are
      rvp and suarez too because they can score as well as assist so even when they go through a dry spell they still return couple of assists
      this season one of hazard mata is a season keeper and also rotating between the two is not such a bad idea but with the lack of chelsea strikers these two will provide the most firepower

            Baines -> Cuellar
            Fellaini -> AJ/Sess

            in the next few weeks.

      Too close to call imo. Suarez would shave it as hes the focal point of Liverpools attack while Citys goals can come from Aguero, Dzeko, Silva, even Kolarov and Toure! Liverpools goals dont seem to be coming from anyone else atm

    @Tinkerman...when I said Ba is better value than Suarez I didn't literally mean he has scored more points than Suarez since I bought him. I mean he is better value because he has got a lot of points and is cheaper...yes I probably would have been 20 points better off with Suarez...but I wouldn't have had other players in my team because of it. Therefore he is better value as I could accomodate other points scorers in other areas.

    7.7 vs 9.5 (Suarez's price back then)

    I don't regret buying Ba for one second over Suarez.

        Of course, I just get annoyed that it's all about who is the most 'supreme' value. It's all relative to your team's setup. And no-one anticipated this Suarez form...Ba has more history of form in the league so it was a no brainer.

          not really
          while suarez did not always score heavily, he was always a dangerous man in front of goal
          everybody anticipated this run for suarez especially since borini' injury
          the only history ba has is scoring 16 goals in 20 games and then scoring 1 in the remainig of the season

            He played out of position when Cisse arrived. Now he's back being the main man. 16 goals in 20 games!! This is why I bought him you buffoon!

    With the emergence of "Tier 2" strikers in the 8-10m range such as Ba, Giroud, Tevez and Suarez, is anyone considering downgrading RVP for them? You could save up a significant amount of cash (5m) and get pretty much the same kind of scores.

    I'm not quite brave enough to do this as I know how RVP can explode but it could be a nice tactic that could pay off.

      1) You'll lose a lot of value.

      If you've got the marbles though its a decent move.
