The Stock Check

The Stock Check – Sunday

Brede Hangeland’s dismissal hands Sunderland the chance to register their first away win of the season. Steven Fletcher and Adam Johnson both play a part in two of the Black Cats’ three goals, while Dimitar Berbatov draws a rare blank as Fulham lose for the first time with the Bulgarian in their starting XI:

On the Up

Steven Fletcher
Without a strike since Gameweek 5, the Scot returned to form with a goal and assist as Sunderland made full use of their extra-man advantage following Brede Hangeland’s first-half dismissal. With four home fixtures in the next four, including double Gameweek 16, Fletcher chose the perfect time to serve a reminder of his capabilities.

Adam Johnson
The winger added to last week’s goal at Everton by providing a pair of assists as the Black Cats scored more than a single goal for only the second time this season. Johnson had previously failed to produce any attacking returns prior to Gameweek 11 but is starting to suggest he may be finally settling at the Stadium of Light.

Carlos Cuellar
Providing he’s injury-free, the Spaniard seems nailed-on at the heart of the Sunderland defence and found the net for the first time since moving to Wearside. His cut-price valuation means Cuellar is another likely candidate for his side’s upcoming fixtures, bearing in mind O’Neill’s side have conceded just three goals in four home games so far.

Stephane Sessegnon
For many a month he’s flattered to deceive but the Benin international fired home a superb effort to score for the first time since March. If Sessegnon can return to the form that produced seven goals and 12 assists last term, he could be another differential to consider over the next few.

Going Down

Brede Hangeland
Dismissed for a two-footed challenge on Lee Cattermole, the Cottagers centre-half now faces a three-match ban. Hangeland’s absence should afford Philippe Senderos a chance alongside Aaron Hughes ahead of trips to Stoke and Chelsea and a home clash against Spurs.

James McClean
A nailed-on starter under Martin O’Neill last term, the winger was omitted from the starting line-up for today’s showdown. The return of Lee Cattermole saw Seb Larsson move to the right and Adam Johnson shift over to the left as McClean dropped out for the second time in three Gameweeks.

Dimitar Berbatov
The Bulgarian was snapped up by over 230,000 FPL managers heading into today’s game after producing returns in five of his first six starts for the Cottagers. With injuries and dismissals disrupting the hosts’ rhythm, Berbatov returned a rare blank but was nevertheless full of creativity and attacking threat for Jol’s side.

Fulham Defence
There’s no denying Hangeland’s sending off played a part in today’s result but Jol’s defence continue to leak goals at an alarming rate. Fulham have now conceded three goals in all but one of their last four matches and have shipped 22 this term – only QPR and Southampton have conceded more.

** Just a heads-up to let you know that the Big Numbers article, which usually follows Sunday evening’s Stock Check, should now be published tomorrow. Mark has been laid low by a bug and is having a rare night off.

    My decision making is truly awful 😆

    I took out Michu and Hazard this week for Fellaini and Mata for a hit.
    And I put Cuellar 3rd sub over Gorkss 2nd sub who'll be coming on for Evans.

      I think you are mixing decision making with fortune here.

      Imo it was a good decision to prefer Gorkss to Cuellar. Now, if you KNEW Cuellar was going to score his first ever Sunderland goal however, then it would be bad decision making.

      The Michu move however, is questionable.

    Please give me some advice people. it's killing me here the lack of discussion.

    Would you prioritise the buying of two defenders with these 2FT:

    Bego Foster
    Baines Rafael Gorkss DEMEL* RIISE*
    MATA* Cazorla Nolan Sterling FELLAINI*
    RVP Ba Berbatov

    4 Options really:

    DEMEL > Turner/Garrido (or alternative)
    Riise > CUELLAR (pretty much convinced about this one)
    Fellaini > ANYONE? (Bad idea, right?)
    Mata > Silva (Total knee-jerk, right?)

    Thank you and please if you can offer something constructive it would be greatly greatly appreciated.

      To be honest that's the only transfer that makes sense.

      I think Fellani given his physical attributes is worth keeping for the ARS clash.

        No worries..

        I'm in the same dilema with silva, i have no city coverage and want him in,

        Currently have mata bale and caz

        With Caz's fixtures i think he stays, matas form is great and if i get rid of bale it could free up some cash! Just cant bring myself to transfer out a goalscorer for a player who will get more assists

          Well that was my take on the Caz > Silva thing last week. Caz will be more of a threat for goals. If I was in your position I would be tempted to ditch Bale but I would not necessarily say that is good advice. As you say he has more goals in him. But for me City coverage is something I desperately lack and Silva would be a really nice avenue into their team.

          It's actually killing me inside. Silva is possibly my favourite player in the league and he's now getting everyone's attention. He'd be in my team so fast if it wasn't for other situations. Arrrgh!

      Walcott has almost single handedly turned that side into an attacking force once more. Since he has arrived Arsenal have looked far more threatening. He offers the extra pace and spark Arsenal have been lacking. He is as nailed on as Fellaini is at Everton imo. Arsenal need him.

      Although it depends on the rest of your team, Id say Giroud ahead of Podolski (just). There's better value amongst the midfielders than Walcott. Santi would be enough coverage from Arsenal at the moment however until after the Everton game imo.

      For his price you can afford Fellaini, Michu, Morrison or Nolan. All of whom should score more points. Nevertheless HBA has the quality to return big points in 1 or 2 games just not so consistent as the others.

    Is anyone else absolutely terrified by City players? The 5-0 reminded me of their form last year and how they demolished teams. Oh and Silva is back, WHAT A COINCIDENCE! 🙄

    I really really hope Silva doesn't explode next week against Chelsea. I need him to stay quiet and for his price not to go soaring upwards.

    But is he even the best City cover? Aguero is awesome but hard to own with RVP. Tevez delivers a monster score when everyone was selling.

    I have to say I think City were a tad lucky though, 2 penalties and one was a phantom handball. Silva gets two assists from handballs. And Tevez gets a goal because Aguero was being nice to him. It was all a bit surreal. But that said I am still terrified of having no coverage.

    I hope it's ok for next week as City have Chelsea away. A tough fixture and I expect them to drop points to Chelsea. Chelsea really need a strong performance.

              yeah, I didn't pay attention one week and that's when his value dropped by.2 or .3, I had the depth in the squad to cover but I was being hard headed on not selling him.

          4.7m in bank, 1 FT.

          Thoughts on doing Tevez -> RVP? It would give me a solid captain choice this week, and RVP undoubtedly has better fixtures over the next few weeks.

          If not, is there a better way I could accommodate RVP into my team?

          Thanks.

          So, I'm pretty set on doing these transfers.

          Riise > Cuellar
          Demel > Garrido

          2FT, leaves me with 0.8m in the bank and two players with better fixtures and that are rising.

          Sound good?

          My frontline is
          Mata Cazorla Fellaini Nolan Sterling
          RVP Ba Berba

          Don't see any reason to tinker with it this week. Am I right?

            actually garridos fixtures aren't as solid as i thought (with reference to my earlier reply to you)
            but he's an attacking def in a weirdly in-form backline
            you could always plump for shorey at 4.1 too-he's a crossing set piece cannon foot machine
