A run of three home matches in the next four gameweeks elevates Scott Sinclair in our recently updated Watchlist rankings. The winger, priced at 6.2, has been one of the main beneficiaries of Swansea’s outstanding record at the Liberty Stadium and with 50 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points to date, is second only to Michel Vorm (55) amongst the options in Brendan Rodgers’ squad.

With the Swans conceding just once in front of their own fans, Sinclair’s classification as a FPL midfielder has helped boost his points, with clean sheets bumping up his returns four times out of five in the first eleven gameweeks.

His penalty duties have also been essential to Sinclair’s Fantasy prospects- despite having failed to find the net from open play this season, he has scored in the last three home games in succession from the spot. As a result, he has returned 36 points from five Liberty Stadium games- an average of 7.2 per game.

Compare this to his 14 points from six away visits- an average of just over 2.3 per game; the difference of almost 5 points in home/away Fantasy returns is indicative of Swansea’s contrasting fortunes and highlights just why their home performances will be so critical to their top-flight survival.

Up next, then, is (MUN, AVL, bla, FUL). While the visit of Man United will provide the stiffest test of their home form to date, Rodgers’ side will stick to the passing principles that saw them pick up a draw and clapped off the field for their display at Anfield last time round.

Home showdowns with Aston Villa and Fulham will certainly hold no fear either; the former have yet to win on the road, while Fulham’s only away victory came at off-form Wigan. If anything, Swansea will go into both clashes as favourites. Sandwiched in between is the trip to Blackburn- it’s fair to say that with the Venky’s owners still firmly behind Steve Kean, Rovers are a possible source of points for any team right now and Sinclair -fully recovered from the hamstring problem that restricted his role to that of a sub at Liverpool last time out- will fancy his chances of breaking that barren run on the road come gameweek fourteen at Ewood Park.

    Can't understand how you've managed without RVP, not with his returns,he is essential,ditch Boswinga, no idea about Suarez.

    Hey all

    Got a couple of free transfers this week but wondering what to do.

    Al Habsi Vorm
    Shawx, Enrique, Richards, Simpson, Taylor (swansea)
    VDV, Ramsey, Silva (VC), Walters, Milner
    VP (C), Ade, Sturridge

    Am thinking of:
    Sturridge to Bendtner (good run of home fixtures)

    I know there is rotation risk with Milner and injury risk for VDV and Shawx but can't really see too many other changes to make unless I go for three and a 4 point hit.

    Any advice would be appreciated!

      Simpson is another possible consideration.

      Sunderland have low priced defenders and you should consider trading out Simpson for either Brown £4.5M (the #4 defender on the watchlist) or Turner £4.3M.

      Newcastle's next 3 fixtures - cit, utd, CHE. Simpson also has minimal scope to increase in price, he is £4.2M and owned by 24% of managers.

    Need to get rid of Hernandez to free up some cash. Was considering jumping on the Bendy bus, but that leaves my only options as Reo-Coker, the Holy One or Johson (have 3 Swans and other money is earmarked elsewhere) am I mad to consider putting Long in?

    team news suggests heijtinga to play instead of distin, guardian says distin.

    as a distin owner cant help feeling (hoping) FFS are wrong on this one heijtinga had a mare last time out and distin was recovering from injury

      Depends on what you have already but I would classify it as:
      - Ramsey for the access to Arsenal goals
      - Walters for the nice set of fixtures for Stoke (and penalty duties)
      - Drenthe for the differential

    Get on the Dyer and Allen buses as they provide better value for money.
