The Stock Check

The Stock Check – Boxing Day – Part Two

Gareth Bale blasts a hat-trick to confirm his returns to fitness and heavy-hitting fantasy status, while the Potters find a cutting edge to recover from an early setback and consign Liverpool to defeat. Here’s part two of the Boxing Day Stock Check…

On the Up

Gareth Bale
A devastating hat-trick took Bale to nine goals for the season and gives the Welshman six goals in his last six league appearances. Incredibly, Bale has scored just two goals and only one of his four assists at White Hart Lane, proving to be a deadly weapon on the road. With strong fixtures to come, Bale’s form will bring him huge investment with significant FPL price rises to follow.

Jermain Defoe
His opening strike for Spurs took the England man to ten for the season and keeps Defoe bubbling in the FPL rankings, some 11 points ahead of Wayne Rooney. Bale’s form and his popularity as a midfield acquisition will doubtless dent Defoe’s appeal but Defoe shouldn’t be dismissed lightly. He has started every league match since Gameweek 11 and has never gone more than three starts without scoring.

The Spurs Defence
Their strong run continues: Andre Villas-Boas’ rearguard have now kept four clean sheets in the last five after earning their third consecutive shut-out this evening. With their fixtures remaining strong (sun RDG qpr), there’s no reason to suggest that this kind of form won’t continue in the short-term at least, with Jan Vertonghen and Hugo Lloris justifying their current rankings in our Watchlist.

Steven Gerrard
The converted spot-kick at the Britannia gave Gerrard a third goal in three league starts and means that he’s now delivered returns in five of his last six outings. As tonight’s display demonstrated, however, consistency remains an issue in the Liverpool camp.

Jon Walters
One of the most unfashionable Fantasy assets around, Walters demonstrated what he is capable of by delivering a brace to notch his biggest returns of the season. With five goals and three assists so far, Walters has delivered strong value for his 6.4 price tag and, if Michael Kightly retains the right-wing role shifting Walters up in support of the lone striker, he could yet go on providing profit.

Kenwyne Jones
With strong and reliable budget options thin on the ground up front, Jones has quietly established a starting role in Tony Pulis’ side at the expense of Peter Crouch and is taking his opportunity. While the Potters attack is far from potent, Jones looks an effective blunt instrument and has provided two goals in three games, with an assist tonight – a good return on a 5.0 FPL price tag.

Going Down

Ryan Shawcross & Geoff Cameron
Both were teetering on the tightrope and both toppled off with bookings in the victory over Liverpool. The Stoke defensive stalwarts, with over 40% FPL ownership between them, will now miss the home league clash with Southampton this coming weekend.

The Villa Defence
Having conceded just two goals in five matches between Gameweeks 12-17, Paul Lambert’s back four have simply capitulated in the last two matches, shipping 12 goals to Chelsea and Spurs. With five conceded to City and three to United, it’s becoming clear that Villa are all too easily disposed of by the bigger sides. While fixtures are obliging in the coming weeks, confidence in the Villa rearguard has been shattered.

Steven Caulker
Caulker has, on occasions, looked a strong option within the Spurs back four, having enjoyed a run of starts from Gameweek 6-11. Since then, however, he has been subject to heavy rotation with the likes of Michael Dawson, William Gallas and Jan Vertonghen all vying for the centre-back roles. Caulker was benched again today and with Benoit Assou-Ekotto close to a return at left-back, it appears the Vertonghen/Gallas partnership could emerge as the established first choice option.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Aguero to Suarez? Both aren't really in form, Aguero has better fixtures, but may be rested at any point. Any other replacement? Not Hernandez, I think having RVP is enough. Or do I just keep Aguero for a bit longer?

      Aguero->Suarez/Defoe is a decent move. I think you should get rid of Aguero though, I doubt he will start the next game.

      Not too confident about most of the strikers at the moment. I have RVP, Defoe and Berba and font feel there are any strikers screaming to be transferred in. In your case I'd be tempted to stick for now unless you can do something with the money raised.

    Who should I lose?
    Sterling, who I bought for 4.6, would give me 9.4 for another mid.
    Puncheon, who i also bought for 4.6 would give me 9.0 for another mid.
    Taarabt, who I bought for 5.5, would give me 9.9 for another mid.

            Who though? I think you are a fan of Berbatov and I know he scored yesterday but Fulham were still very poor. Not convinced but we will have plenty of time to see what is going on by then, which is why I am thinking as late as possible.

    I want Defoe but already have 3 spurs players. I took a gamble and doubled up on Lennon / Bale and have Caulker in defence.

    I have narrowed it down to two choices

    1) Rooney to Berba / hernandez (already have RVP)
    2) Rooney to Defoe and Caulker to O'Brien / Reid (depending on money needed elsewhere) for a 4 point hit

    If Caulker doesn't play then my defence will be Cuellar, Clyne, ridgewell (shorey)

    A. Cameron -> O'Brien (I'll get Stoke defender after January WC);

      Fantastic and GJ will give you two defenders. Leave it at that.

      I really think you need to prioritise Caz/Wal. Pointless getting rid of Cameron-doubling up on STK has been working well.

    bego/ tremel
    nasta / GJ / baines / shorey / nelsen
    mata/ bale / michu / tarrabt / puncheon
    RVP/ Suarez / berba

    if michu, nelsen, shorey are out should i go:

    shorey - > sagna
    baines/tarrabt -> sagna and walcott (-4)

    as then i would field only 11 and if rotations come in that would screw me up...

    or save it for now n hope no rotations?

        rotating who with nolan? Nolan is a nice mid priced player but i want: Michu, felaini, and walcott as 3 higher mid value players and then 2 of: Mata, Caz, Bale, Silva through rest of season

        Then i would only need 2 strikers: RVP, ?, Le fondre and that frees up cash to invest in defence.

        Plan? Makes sense to me at least

          BOTH! but walcott up front will score points regularly...santi will get nice big weeks but more occasional. Due to price if you had to choose 1: Walcott

      Santi to Walcott and Silva to Mata. But I'm not sure if its worth a hit.

        Yeah, I was thinking to roll the trade and do that next week.

        Or do Silva/Garrido->Mata/4.6m next week.

      Wouldn't get both. Cazorla OR Walcott + Arsenal Defender + Jussi for me.

      Gotta have Mata imo.
      I have Walcott now (for Nolan, the useless arse) but Mata is a better player in a better team and he averages over 8 points when starting (since his 2 wks rest)

    Epic Fail is having a very consistent season under the radar as well.

    Hasn't moved out of the Top 1K in 11 weeks, and that takes some doing!

        Triple up on Hammers defense? No way. Get rid of Sess if you want Bale although I think it's not worth the hit.

      Is it worth to pay 0.3m more for Gibbs instead of Sagna?

      Looking for Gorkss' replacement with budget upto 5.5m.

      GJ - Nelsen - Demel - Shorey - Gorkss
