Monitor – Anthony Pilkington

With so many new statistics available in our Members section this season, the ability to compare players’ performances from last time round becomes handier than ever. Ahead of Norwich’s home clash against West Ham this weekend, we cast an eye on the Canaries midfield and, bypassing their top scoring Fantasy Premier League (FPL) player Robert Snodgrass, delve deeper into the displays of Anthony Pilkington instead:

Pilkington was a frustrating pick last season. Too often susceptible to Paul Lambert’s rotation policy at Carrow Road, the left winger started just 23 games and racked up a total of 1975 minutes but still managed to find the net on eight occasions. This time round, Chris Hughton has installed him as a key figure in the Norwich starting XI, with Pilkington playing every minutes of the club’s three matches so far – while he’s yet to find the net, Pilkington has provided an assist and, as the figures suggest, his potential for attacking returns has definitely taken a turn for the better.

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

          My Team looks shite, but I have refused to wc 🙂

          Rvp and Nolan in, Ba and Kags out.

          I'm looking lamps and Bale to do the biz 😉

            You captaining RVP?

            Have done Zab+Bale -> Ridgewell+Hazard earlier this week.

            Looks like this:

            DDG
            Terry-Ridgewell-Cuellar
            Hazard-Kags-Michu-Larsson
            RVP-Tevez-Graham

            Subs: Fed-Guthrie-Demel-Fabio

            Next week I plan on doing Kags->Barfa.
            Week after: Terry->Baines

            Thoughts?

              Yep, Rvp captain (he scores when he wants)

              Looks like a very good team, and decent trades ahead.

              Shame that you have probably sold Bale to soon 😉

                  To be honest, I usually got my 'magic' spreadsheet on the go from gw1 (shows 6 weeks trades ahead, linked to ticker etc) but with work and rugby commitments haven't had chance to populate.

                  So no, not yet mate.

    I never took much notice of Snodgrass when he moved to Norwich. Pilkington was always the mid i had my eye on. Just thought Snodgrass was a typical run of the mill midfielder who did great in the Championship, but his performances would peter out as he made the step up to the Prem. Is his FPL hype justified? I haven't watched him this season at all.

    The plan was to offload Swansea players for Norwich assets around GW 9, as their fixtures become decent when Swansea's turn poor.

    Graham, Dyer, Michu, Rangel, Vorm > Holt, Pilkington, Snodgrass, Martin, Ruddy... could be the way to go

    Bennett may return from injury soon which is making me doubt Pilkington slightly. For those who are members, or have seen Snodgrass play this season, what are your thoughts on him for FPL?

      I saw the game against Tottenham. He was their most influential player, attacking wise. That said, he had a team putting a massive shift behind him.

      He's quality mate.

      I was actually thinking the same thing that GW9 the turning point for fixtures. Have been eyeing it myself. Need to watch a few matches myself for a clearer picture (Snod vs Pilk). Honestly i do not think they are as poor defensivley as people seem to think. Cheap defenders might be a best way into their line up.

      I think SOT fixtures are equally as strong during that same period. Michu/Graham> Lallama/Lambert?

        Thing is, if a player is a doubt, SAF will sometimes deliberately mislead in his press conf to put the opposition manager on the backfoot. Let Martinez plan to defend against a United team without RVP then, surprise surprise, RVP starts and scores a brace before being rested after 60 mins with game all but wrapped up.

      Pienaar. Personally, I'm not a massive fan of either.

      McClean.

      You already have Jelavic so a bad week for Everton would end up a disaster and don't forget that Sunderland will have a DGW in the not too distant future, if you get McC in now you could save a transfer later. Both decent shouts though, like you say.
