This evening’s Members article brings with it a new approach. With winter wildcards being flourished at a furious pace, we’ve put together a new article template to run the rule over a couple of very topical transfer targets: Stephane Sessegnon and Jonathan Walters.

Both players have received heavy investment ahead of the weekend. Sessegnon is facing a couple of enticing home clashes with Swansea and Norwich, while Walters, with four home fixtures in the next six Gameweeks (WBA, SUN, SWA, NOR), is also racking up the transfers on the back of a home average 6.8 points per game in Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

In terms of Fantasy output, there is very little between them. Walters is the pricier, by 6.7 to 6.6, and has returned a single point more than Sessegnon, by 95 to 94. The only real difference is in ownership, with the Stoke man currently selected by 16% of Fantasy managers compared to Sessegnon’s 13%. The latter has attracted the most suitors of late, though, rising by 0.4 since the end of gameweek 19.

Using both the Opta stats and our very own ICT Index available to our Members, we examine their last few gameweeks, offering a direct comparison between the two players’ performances.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          You have Dempsey, no point as it will be a defender against an attacker. We don't think Bale has a great chance of points but most think that he will outscore Barfa and McLean.

    Evening all,
    Just wanted a quick spot of advice about captaincy and to make sure my subs are in the right order,

    Team is
    Lindegaard (Vorm)
    Baines Enrique Wilkinson
    Sess (c) Bale Silva Drenthe
    Rooney Sturridge Fletcher

    Subs: Moses Simpson BAE

    right captain, right sub order?

    Initial thoughts on GW22 team?

    Krul (Vorm)
    Enrique Jones Brown
    Walters Sessegnon(v) Nani Bale Valencia
    Sturridge RVP(c)

    Subs: Simpson BAE (Adebayor)
    Bank: 0.9

    The only move I can see is Brown out if it's clear he won't make the weekend and bring Kelly/Senderous/ShawX in

    May sound like a stupid question but Bale or Moses for this GW?

    Bale has an average of 2.6 pts against top sides this season (mun,MCI,LIV,ARS,CHE)

    Moses averages 3.8 pts in away games this season.

      I think you're right to ask the question. It feels funny putting a big hitter on the bench, but I can't see Tot doing much damage to City's back line.
