The Numbers Game – Relegation Candidates

19 April 2012 1747 comments

Paul

As the scrap for survival enters the final four Gameweeks of the season, today’s Members article assesses the top performers from the bottom five sides over each side’s respective last four fixtures. Using our own ICT Index and the Opta stats available, we analyse the top five from each of the relegation candidates, assessing their form and the potential offered ahead of what will prove to be a frantic finish to the 2011/12 Premier League campaign. As luck would have it, this also doubles up as an assessment of those players in form amongst the ranks of Villa and Bolton – those teams with two fixtures in Gameweek 35…

Honestly, I haven’t RMT in ages EXCEPT ON BOTTOM OF LAST POST ; any comments much appreciated.

GW35 no transfers

Schwarzer (Szczeney)
Santon, Evans, Richards (Caulker, McAuley)
Walcott, Dempsey (VC), Sigurdsson, Valencia (Brunt)
RVP, Rooney, Suarez (C)

GW36

Brunt to Bale
Richards to Walker
Rooney to Adebayor…………..4 point hit for 7 DGWers…..I’m backing Spurs to bounce back in a big way

    Though Dempsey can rip it up, just the fact that he is away on BOTH the games is a bit worrysome for me. He can definitely score..but his away history doesn't suggest so.

  Keep Richards and play caulker,
  
  If you want to increase your dgws her by taking a 4pt hit, better pic'ig to be had than in defence eg... Mata, Gerrard, cisse, jelly etc.
  
  Def not much gain to be had from single week payer with good fixture eg caulker.

  Just kidding mate
  
  Not sure on Schwarzer, Fulham have been dreadful away most of the season, but he's a better option the Chesney.
  
  BAE or Kaboul (if fit) over Walker IMO.
  
  Not touching Ade myself, they guy has let me down too many times, getting Jelavic instead and enjoying the spare cash it leaves me.

Huge debate in over who to bench and captain;

Bogdan (SWA,avl) Mingolet (avl)
JEvans (EVE) , Kompany (wol), Simpson (STO), Kelly (WIG), Enrique (WBA)
BArfa (STO), Nasri (wol), Valencia (EVE), Bale (qpr), Miyachi (SWA, avl)
Suarez (WBA) , Van Persie (CHE) , Rooney (EVE).

Leaning towards captaining suarez and benching mingolet, valencia, enrique and kelly.

  I actually would bench Miyaichi over Valencia. He'll probably only get about 110 minutes or so. Suarez is risky but a decent gamble I guess. I'd rather go with the security of an RvP or Bale.

  I'd rethink Suarez, apart from any other factor, Woy aint gonna want to get turned over at Anfield! Bench choice tricky, but I'd play Val before Ryo, who looks like he'll be struggling for gametime. Nasri? Could be genius, could be , well, Nasri...

I've changed my opinion on getting Suarez as he is unlikely to play both games in the double whilst Cisse is.
I'm going to do Rooney -> Cisse and Moses -> Dempsey for a 4 point hit which leaves this team.

Vorm (Sorensen)
Kompany, Evans, Williamson (Kelly, Skrtel)
Dempsey(C), Valencia, Walcott, Sessegnon, Sigurdsson
RVP, Cisse(VC), (Jelavic)

Thoughts?

  I'd go Sess > Dempsey; Moses for Wigan over last 2 games looks profitable - more motivated than Sunderland. Would look at shipping Skrtel instead of moving on Dempsey - maybe BAE?

      I suppose they're 'due one', but I've not faith in them at all. Agger is back I suppos but I'd prefer BAE given they've still got something to play for.

Assuming you are going to captain Tevez/Aguero if you bring them in for Rooney and otherwise lose Rooney next week for a DGW player the question becomes:

Is 2 x Tevez > Rooney + Alternative captain + 4?

If your alternative captain is Rooney this simplifies to:

Is Tevez > Rooney + 2?, i.e. do you expect Tevez to outscore Rooney by more than 2 points?

Hello clever people. First ever post. Don't really know what to do with DGW.

Team is

Vorm Krul

Verm Evans Naylor Komp Cahill

Walcott Valenicia McClean Bale Siggy

RVP Rooney Cisse

2.3 in bank

Thinking of Walcott - Demps this week

Rooney to Ade & McClean to Pienar/ VDV next week for no hit

That would give me 8 for DGW

Could do three transfers next week for 4 point hit

Would really appreciate comments or advice

  Not sure Everton are so attractive now that Baines will probably be out for the season and I think VdV and Bale is too much. One or the other there is better.

      Seven's plenty (I hope!) Mata would be great if he played twice, but that result last night makes that even less likely I reckon. Agree with Nomar that VDV/Bale is prob an either/or if you're getting Ade as well.
      
      BTW, is no-one concerned about Defoe/Saha taking gametime from Ade in dgw? (In case you didn't have enough to worry about!)

    Dempsey has a double GW and I predict he will outscore Sess this week by a lot.
    Then the 2 DGWers just playing cancels out the hit in GW36.

If there's any a time, this website should have another voting poll on her to compliment the captain one it's this week.

' best city forward to bring in v wolves'

Aguero?
Tevez?
