The Watchlist – Adam Lallana

563 Comments
Share

When Southampton manager Nigel Adkins told Adam Lallana he had been called up by England manager Roy Hodgson for the World Cup qualifier with Ukraine in September, the 24 year-old midfielder thought his boss was joking. Even though he plays for an unfashionable club and has only a handful of Premier League appearances under his belt, the call-up was genuine and shows just how highly-regarded the Saints captain is becoming:

Having joined the club as a 12-year-old, Lallana has shown a keen eye for goal, scoring 37 times in 175 appearances, while a constant source of left flank creativity has produced 11 and 13 assists respectively in Southampton’s last two seasons. Already this term, Lallana has scored once in the Premier League and has also notched up four assists to take his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) tally to 39 points, with 37 points also accrued in the Sky Sports game.

With a price tag of 6.0 in FPL and 4.9 in the Sky game, Lallana is priced attractively and has a kind run of fixtures on his side (SWA, qpr, NEW, NOR, liv, REA). This should offer Adkins’ side the perfect opportunity to bounce back after a 2-0 defeat at West Brom last Monday saw them slip to the foot of the Premier League table, with just one win and 28 goals conceded thus far.

Despite the team’s poor form and woeful defence, Southampton are still grinding out attacking chances. This indicates that even if the team lose, Lallana and Southampton’s attacking assets could still benefit from that upcoming schedule. They have only failed to score twice so far and with 14 goals accrued, have found the net more often than 10 other Premier League teams including Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham.

While Gaston Ramirez offers another alternative in the Saints midfield and Rickie Lambert is bound to acquire interest up top, Lallana’s strong source of consistency gets the nod; he has produced attacking returns in five of his opening 10 Gameweeks. Indeed, for those looking for a cheap to lower mid-priced midfielder, Lallana is among the best on offer; only Swansea’s Wayne Routledge has scored more FPL points in the 6.0 and below category.

      keep nolan will get more goals than fellaini

      Reason fellaini may be shifted back at times , Nolan will always be just off the striker.

        I think short term fellaini will get more Points than Nolan, concidering WHUs fixtures the following matches. imo get Fellaini, and look to WHU when their fixtures improve

    Hi guys,
    I already did my transfers on Sunday with 4 pts hit but i ve been thinking of activating the wc since then. I changed the wc team 500 times on my mind and end up with the below team:

    Bego Jaas
    ??? ??? Cameron Gorkss Nelsen
    Mata Walcott Fellaini Sterling Maloney
    RvP Roon Ba

    Q1: Who shuld i fill the defender slots with?
    A - Baines + 4.0 (prob Davies)
    B - Rafael + Sagna

    Q2: Do you think rooney and walcott punt would work?

    Q2: The real question: Is it the right time to wc? Should I wait a little more, maybe until GW14? see my current team:

    Bego Jaas
    Baines Cameron Cuellar Gorkss Clyne
    Mata Bale Fellaini Michu Sterling
    RvP Berba Tevez

    I'm happy with my XI, and I need to prepare to watch my team rise to the top of the Championship tonight.

    To my fellow soldiers of fortune, may your goals flow like the wildest river, and may your assists come to you from all corners of the Earth. Let every decision be vindicated and your captain to rise above fear and hostility to lead your warriors to the land of the green arrows.

    Farewell for now.
