Frisking The Fixtures – Gameweek Fourteen

15 November 2010 1125 comments

Andy

We’ve had a frenzied seven days. Three Gameweeks have passed so quickly that a team’s run of good fixtures may now have transformed into a nightmare schedule, and vice versa of course.

Take a breath then, crack out your “Season Ticker”, and let’s stroll through the hot and cold spells ahead as we build up to the hectic Christmas programme…

The Highs…

Bolton
Members can click on “sort by difficulty” on the next six ticker and get an immediate indication on why Bolton are looking like a good investment right now. Their next six Gameweeks look outstanding (NEW, BLP, mcy, BLA, sun, WBA) with Reebok encounters against all three promoted clubs for starters. This schedule also arrives on top of an incredible run of form, a run that has seen them climb to fifth place in the league table.

In defence, Gary Cahill, at 5.4 in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, has picked up 11 bonus points in his last six fixtures and points could continue flowing as he looks to add clean sheets and maybe a first goal of the season. Chung-Yong Lee (5.2) has started notching assists and impressed at the weekend, while strikers Kevin Davies (6.4) and Johan Elmander (6.0) continue to offer good budget striking options. A Bolton representative looks a very wise move for the coming weeks.

Wolves
The Wanderers remain the only team this season without a clean sheet but their forthcoming fixtures promise the potential for improvement, with more goals to follow at the other end of the pitch. Mick McCarthy’s side face trips to Blackpool, Blackburn and West Brom and have home games against Sunderland, Birmingham and Wigan. A very decent run of opponents which could see investment in the likes of Matt Jarvis (5.3), Stephen Hunt (5.3) and Kevin Doyle (5.1), reap healthy dividends for Fantasy Managers looking for some low-to-mid price fodder.

Man United
Manchester United will face Arsenal and Chelsea in the next six but, in the short-term, they have three strong fixtures to come (WIG, BLA, blp). Despite an almighty scare at Villa Park this weekend, United remain the only unbeaten side in the league. With form at Old Trafford always strong and two plum home ties to come, continued or added investment looks to be a good call. Wayne Rooney returned from his week’s boot camp in USA and if he’s ready, following a price drop to £11.3m, he may prove a handy little investment for those in the hat for a gamble. Nani has returned from a short spell on the sidelines and his price (9.0) rising once more, while Nemanja Vidic (7.5), comes at a price but is solidifying a partnership with Rio Ferdinand (6.5) and is just one short of his best Premier League season goal tally with three to his name so far.

Fulham
A dark horse. Trips to Arsenal and Liverpool skew their Season Ticker rating somewhat, but four Craven Cottage encounters (MCY BIR ars SUN liv WHM) in the next six appears to offer some true potential for results and Fantasy returns. While Clint Dempsey’s stock may have declined as a result of his shift back to a midfield role, Mousa Dembele could well be worth another look, while the defensive talents of Brede Hangeland, complete with his knack for late goals, should enter our thoughts once again.

Also to consider: Liverpool – Roy Hodgson’s men have the fixtures on their side, starting with an Anfield meet with West Ham this weekend. West Brom – form is faltering but their run of decent opponents continues, with a Hawthorns clash against Stoke up next. Stoke – the Potters also have reasonable fixtures in their coming schedule and, unlike the Baggies, are on a run of form. Man City – despite having four away games in their next six, the list of opponents may give them opportunity to earn results. Everton – besides trips to Chelsea and Man City the Toffees have some good games on the horizon, with some kind looking Goodison encounters in the next six.

The Lows…

Chelsea
Chelsea’s Fantasy output has faltered badly and the fixture list is not about to grant them any favours to help improve matters. Didier Drogba is battling to regain full strength after malaria, Frank Lampard’s prolonged absence through injury continues, Florent Malouda has scored just one goal in his last eight games and Michael Essien is suspended for two more matches. In a nutshell, Carlo Ancelotti’s side are depleted and troubled. The real kicker is that their upcoming schedule gets very rough, very soon. Two away games at Birmingham and Newcastle “ease” them in somewhat, but they follow that with trips to Spurs and Arsenal, with a home clash with United sandwiched in between. An immediate improvement this Gameweek is surely required otherwise the Chelsea sales will start to ramp up rapidly.

Wigan
Wigan are only reliable at one thing it seems – being unreliable. Their upcoming slate of games (mun, whm, STK, eve, AVL, wol) appears to make it harder than normal to invest in their assets. Paraguayan international Antolin Alcaraz has proved to be one of the few solid £4.5m defenders out there, but choosing if/when the next clean sheet may arrive looks very tricky. Charles N’Zogbia could remain a shrewd pick as he snaffles up Bonus Points, but that often relies on the Latics earning a positive result. With four from six on the road, Roberto Martinez’ side will have to recapture their away form if they are to offer returns. They remain a gamblers choice.

Tottenham
Gareth Bale has just picked up his first big haul in months – a mammoth 18 FPL points. Rafael Van Der Vaart has oozed class and been highly consistent, while a Jermain Defoe return appears to be on the cards sooner rather than later. Positive stuff then, although the fixture list is about to turn against them. Of their upcoming six games (ars, LIV, bir, CHE, blp, avl) the away game at Blackpool looks the most promising, and even then a clean sheet would seem unlikely. It’s not to say their players should be avoided; if anything, options like Bale seem to be “big game” players. Investment definitely needs to be considered carefully however, particularly if you’re tempted by the Van der Vaart/Bale midfield double act.

Be wary of: West Ham – Apart from a home fixture with Wigan in Gameweek 15, the bottom of the table club don’t appear to have many promising opponents on the horizon. Arsenal – the Gunners will need to maintain form – they don’t have an easy schedule, with Fulham at home in Gameweek 16 the closest they come to a comfortable ride. Birmingham – a strong result at City, but the tests keep coming in the weeks ahead.

    Basically the rule of thumb on the rises is that above 100% it will go up 0.1m in price. Practically this seems to trigger at circa 110% plus. Worth bearining in mind this seems to be based on the minimum (might be wrong though there have been occassion where there is a huge gap between the max and min and it hasnt risen if below the 100%). Protected normally refers to something has changed eg swapped to a new team, back from injury etc and means the price wont change whatever the min and max's .. reality is that this doesnt always seem to matter eg a number have recently been Protected and still risen in price. I think the prices take effect at circa 2am daily

      it will never rise more than 0.1m in a day eg 300% still only yields a 0.1m rise or drop

  When a player has their yellow/red flag removed, they usually are immune from price rises for 8-10 days, hence the term protected. However, it seems to be all arse about face this year and I don't think anyone really knows what is going on.
  
  Percentages represent how close a player is to a rise or fall in price. The Price rises represent net transfers in, and the falls represent net transfers out.

      I am not sure what the actual number of transfers required to trigger the rise. There are others on here far more knowledgeable than me that could probably tell you. Total FPL is quite accurate on the rises so I would use that if you are not already.

Blimey, the glazers are paying off the entirety of their PIK loan debt. That's over 200m and it'll cut the debt by a 3rd in total! It'll also be where that Ronaldo money has gone. Ah well, no GBale mega bid then.

  “Only once has Fergie talked about one of my players, and that was Valencia, and bugger me he bought him!” said Bruce. “He had spoken to me about him. ‘Keep me informed’ were his words, then he signed him. He has said the same about Jordan, but to be fair they have all asked to be kept informed. He has caught the eye because he is a very good player. If you are Chelsea, Manchester United, or Liverpool, there is a 20-year-old who is playing in the Premier League week in, week out." - Steve Bruce 😀

    Henderson is a great talent but G Bale is the only player who can fill the Ronaldo void i reckon. Gill (the liar that he is) has said the money is there, and Spurs said silly money would force their hand. Bale is 21, £50m?

        No chance Nani's going to Madrid, he absolutely loves utd plus more to the point Madrid don't need him.
        
        There'd still be more than enough games for Tony V to play, and neither would suffer burn out. Ideal.

        Also, there are 'rumours' the glazers could be taking 95m out of the clubs finances to pay off the total 220m. If that's true, Gill is going to have a lot to answer for, as he said the PIKs were nothing to do with the club. Roll on tomorrows financial results!

Is anyone out there a medical doctor? If so, could you give your opinion on how well a top athlete is likely to perform when having a recent bout of malaria? Carlo says "not to worry" about Drogba, but malaria is not the same as a "slight knock".

  both my parents are doctors. a player such as drogba at the highest level, will definetly be affected by malaria it would take about a month for him to fully recover properly. then he would have to get into his groove. so all in all about a month a nd 2 weeks and drogba is back to his best. 😉

Really disappointing news that Hudd is out for three months. I know he's not a big player in FPL terms but he really is very important for Spurs and it may well impact how far up the field Modric etc. play. Hopefully Defoe's return will cushion the blow a little (although it would be crazy to give him anything more than 20 mins against Le Arse).

Got to make a decision on Elmo soon.

Would love to keep him but can't carry deadwood in this game.

I like Sunderland defenders for the cleanie potential but if he's not going to start then its a waste of £5m.

I think Bramble or Enouha are now the Sunderland defenders to get in. I'm seriously thinking of getting Adam in for Arteta and Vidic for Elmo this week. BUt that gives me no players for the Monday Night game.

The 1st time I've been stuck on transfers really, needing some help. 😛 My team at the moment is:

Foster (CHE), [Mignolet (EVE)]

Konchesky (WHM), Bosingwa (bir), Simpson (bol) [Carr (CHE), Elmohamady (EVE)]

Malouda (bir), Nani (WIG), VDV (ars), N'Zogbia (mun) [Dempsey (MCY)]

Carroll (bol) Berbatov (WIG) Drogba (bir)

I'm debating on Dempsey to Jarvis (bpl) this week and playing him over Carroll if injured or N'Zogbia but think there may better transfer options.

      Dempsey is no longer OOP and the fixtures are:
      
      MCY (10 man defence)
      BIR (likewise, I predicted 0-0 with BIR and MCY)
      ars (Arenal away enough said. :P)
      SUN (Great defensive record even though Sunderland are away)
      WHM (OK I guess but still not great fixtures IMO)
      
      Compared to Jarvis where I'd play him almsot every week until GW21
      
      Who do you suggest I transfer in then?

For all you undecided Malouda owners:

After weeks of soul-searching (I'm a Chelski and also have Cole/Drogs), I took him out GW11 for Tim Cahill. Based on Flo Mo's scoring and Cahill's fixtures. Even though Everton didn't get the results expected over those 3 GWs (2 draws, 1 defeat) the punt on Cahill was worth it as he scored 18 compared to Malouda's 6. I've not regretted it. Now I've ditched Cahill for Nani for the next 4 GWs based on Nani's fixtures. Rather than chasing points I'm tending to look at fixtures for the next 2,3 or 4 weeks but it's all variable decisions depending on the team/player. And a whole lot of luck. I'm new to this game but quickly realising there's no room for sentiment in FPL team selection but there's nothing better than taking a punt and the new boy doing good!

Excuse the ramblings of a rookie. 😉

  I'm probably going to get rid this week. But it's going to be tough getting him back in if I need him. I've had him since the start when he was 9.5, now he's 10.4. But as you said, he's been doing feck all and there's no room for sentiment!

  I personally think that malouda has been playing quite well over the last few weeks (apart from sunday). It's the rest of the chelski team who have been shit, they have really miss essien who is their best player by a country mile. When he is fit and the CBs + fatty are all back a lot of people will regret getting rid of him.
