The Stock Check – Wednesday

2,049 Comments
Share

A frustrating evening for Gareth Bale and Fantasy managers as Spurs and Chelsea play out a stalemate at the Bridge with the goals shared amongst unlikely differentials. Here’s the Stock Check from Wednesday’s Gameweek climax.

On the Up

Oscar
The young Brazilian was identified as our headline act in our Differentials article prior to the Gameweek deadline and duly delivered. Tonight’s tap in was his third goal in four games for Oscar, who has started five of the last six league outings. Owned by under 2% of Fantasy Premier League managers, we picked him this week out as a possible replacement for the injured Michu over the final two matches and, with tonight’s returns, many could now look in his direction.

Emmanuel Adebayor
The Togo striker put on a superb showing, earning goal and assist returns for the second time in his last four starts. Adebayor has endured a hugely disappointing season back in Spurs colours and has in no way justified his lofty FPL price tag. His end of season form is, however, looking strong and he could yet be considered as a potential differential for the final two fixtures by those with cash to spare up top.

Going Down

Eden Hazard
While Juan Mata kept ticking over and came out of the double Gameweek with an assist, his fellow playmaker was given just 72 minutes to earn returns for his investors and come up short. Hazard’s failure was compounded by Oscar’s profits and the Belgian’s owners will now have to hope for consecutive starts over the final two fixtures and a rapid turnaround in fortunes.

Jermain Defoe
Dropped to the bench after an ineffective display against Southampton, Adebayor’s performance will surely make a huge dent in Defoe’s prospects over the remaining fixtures and kill off any thoughts that the England striker could be an effective differential for the season climax.

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

    Team:

    Bunn (WBA)

    Baines (WHU) - Dawson (stk) - Kompany (rdg)

    Fellaini (WHU) - Ramires (avl) - Bale (stk) - Silva (rdg)

    Bentekkers (CHE) - RVP (SWA) - Lukkaku (nor)

    Bench jussi - Gomez - Wilson - Fig

    1. Gomez > Hendo
    2. Gomez > Cout - Lukkaku > Jrod
    3. Lukkaku > Studge and Gomez > Hendo
    4. Lukkaku/Gomez/Silva > Studge Rosicky and mid 8.4 or under
    5. Same as above > Podolski - Coutinho and Hendo/Rosicky/mid under 6.3

    Or what do you think? I have no arsenal cover and don't want Walcott as opponent has him!

    Thanks!

            yea you could, just commenting that not the smartest way of doing it, a more secure passcode would be more sensible. Currently everyone could join the members league, or the 'contributors league' or any other league they fancied just by looking it up. Would get really annoying though

    Why the Countinho love? Without Gerrard, Pool are a different team, and I don't mean that positively ..

      Many Michu owners I would think

      My current thinking is...

      1. Fellaini
      2. Oscar
      3. Coutinho

      Slight rotation concern with Oscar, although I think he'll be OK for the weekend.

    Is anyone keeping Mata? Have no idea what to do with him, and am wondering if Lampard is just a sideways move.
