Scouting The Doubles

Scouting The Doubles – Sunderland

For some, there are many better things to do with a Tuesday night than watch Sunderland v Reading, but that’s never stopped us before – and braving a few Fantasy bucks can distil a dram of excitement from even the most brackish encounter. Indeed for those Fantasy managers who, like me, are accustomed to finding their excitement in a glum waltz of foreboding, despair and regret, this double Gameweek could be a veritable humdinger.

The optimism that attended Martin O’Neill’s arrival at the Stadium of Light has wilted over the course of Sunderland’s graceless slump towards a relegation dogfight, and with only one win on the books since September, hope is beginning to displace expectation on weary Wearside. With just 14 goals from their 15 games, Fantasy managers might be forgiven for casting a suspicious glance at O’Neill’s attacking assets, but with the spoils confined to a narrow clique, Sunderland’s poverty of plan-Bs does serve to enrich the ease of our deliberations. In defence the mood music is more upbeat and investors might justly repose a degree of confidence in the affordable options abounding in a Black Cats’ back line sitting mid-table in terms of clean sheets accrued.

With a couplet of home clashes against Chelsea and Reading on the cards, a constellation of capital letters lights up a season ticker torn betwixt red and blue, and with storm clouds ahead on the fixture list, investors will be looking primarily to Tuesday’s game to eke out a subsistence from their Sunderland selections.

The Likely Lads

Nailed on between the sticks and perched precariously atop the stoppers’ Watchlist, Simon Mignolet offers guaranteed game time and an average of over three saves per appearance to compliment Sunderland’s four clean sheets. Priced at 5.1 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) and 4.4 in the Sky Sports game, the Belgian is the costliest FPL route into the back line, but an 18 point-advantage over his nearest defensive competitor highlights his appeal.

With three long-range strikes in the 2010/11 season, foraging full-back Phil Bardsley enjoys a marginal, and probably ill-deserved, pre-eminence over his defensive contemporaries in the collective memory of the Fantasy Football community. Missing the start of the season through injury, Bardsley is back with a bang and peppering opposing keepers at the rate of a shot every three games. Despite this tour-de-force of attacking intent, 99.9% of FPL managers think 4.8 is a bit steep – a price of 5.8 in the Sky game is likely to deter many.

Coming in at 4.6 in FPL and 4.8 in the Sky game, Carlos Cuellar is the most well-trodden route into the Sunderland defence – and with good reason. Garnering a whopping 145 FPL points in his last full season with Villa (by way of context the free-scoring Thomas Vermaelen is yet to break the 140 point barrier in any season) he’s the cheapest guaranteed starter, has a goal to his credit, and has already recorded as many shots as the rest of the Sunderland defence combined. In terms of bang for your defensive buck – look no further.

Severely restricted for game time over his final two seasons at Manchester City, Adam Johnson still achieved the minor miracle of bringing home triple digits in both campaigns. Hotly tipped following his summer move to Sunderland, Johnson seems to have fallen victim to the general attacking malaise on Wearside. Showing signs of life in recent weeks with a goal and three assists in his last five, his returns remain a pallid reflection of his explosive exploits at the Etihad. Priced at a middle-of-the-road 6.8 in FPL, the rediscovery of his wonted vim and vigour would make a mockery of that valuation – a cost of 5.8 in the Sky looks even more enticing.

Another casualty of Sunderland’s lacklustre start is the industrious Stephane Sessegnon. Kicking off the FPL season at 8.0 in light of his 161 point haul last time out, the Benin international has a paltry two goals and one assist to show for his exertions thus far. With all of his returns coming in the last four weeks we can delineate an upward trajectory in form, just not as easily as his downward trajectory in price. Currently tipping the FPL and Sky scales at 7.5 and 7.7 respectively, Sessegnon offered plenty goal threat in recent weeks from his support role behind Steven Fletcher –a proven performer and a genuine out-of-position pick, he is sure to attract interest.

Currently priced at 7.2 in FPL and 7.7 in the Sky game, Steven Fletcher has been an oasis of productivity in Sunderland’s goalscoring desert since his summer move from Wolves. With six goals, two assists and 16 bonus points he is sitting pretty as the Black Cats’ leading point scorer on 69 FPL points. Whilst the goals have dried up somewhat since his opening burst of five in four, he remains the pivotal figure in a misfiring attack, and the most likely goalscorer from the Sunderland ranks on any given day. Subbed off with an ankle injury in Sunday’s defeat at the hands of Norwich, potential investors will need to monitor the updates from the Stadium of Light over the coming days before taking the plunge.

Cheeky Punt

Deployed for much of the campaign as a makeshift fullback, and only returning to his customary central midfield berth in Gameweek 13, it may be surprising to discover that Craig Gardner is level with Stephane Sessegnon in terms of shots for the season. Scoring twice already since his return to the central fray, Gardner has also offered plenty threat thanks to his lion’s share of set-pieces duties. Playing the full 90 minutes on Sunday, question marks over his game time since his repositioning appear to be easing, and tipping the scales at an uber-cheeky 4.9 in FPL and 5.2 in the Sky game, he offers speculators a viable cut price punt for the forthcoming double.

    Alright peeps, have decided to ship Tevez who has been a loyal servant but is now too risky on the merry-go-round with no CL so who comes in:

    A. Giroud – good fixtures but not nailed on and I have Santi;
    B. Berbatov – great fixtures and nailed on but with no Ruiz will he get the service;
    C. Defoe – kind fixtures after this week but with Ade back will he get a change in role/ rotation?

    Currently have RVP and Fletch who will become Suarez next week.
    Have already discounted others for several reasons so would appreciate your advice.

        Thinking he will get at least 6 points over two games, which would mean a goal from any other (c) options to match it, and may even get CS to take him up around 10 point mark.

                    article says averages 3 saves per game, so would need to conceed 4 goals in one game to get less than 4 points, yellow cards aside.

                      It's a pretty unadventurous captaincy option...at least if it's Cuellar you can pray for an assist or a goal and possible Baps. Also you might be making too much of the DGW. Chances are one of your mids or strikers will score big so treat it like a normal week and captain the best choice I say.

                            I'd go AJ over Mignolet anyway, if you're going to captain a DGW. You'd be so mad with yourself if AJ scored and you'd captained Mignolet for his save points. That's the way I see it anyway. Of those other 3, all are good options. If Berb was in better form I'd go him.

                      Its not. He could easily get 6 points without a clean sheet and with the lack of obvious (c) options its a decent shout.

                      Goalkeepers are more likely to get sent off for one-off incidents and he has little to no access to bonus points and there is zero chance of attacking points.

                          with refs no days anyone can get sent off, difficult to take that into equation.
                          Baps I accept but I am comaring it to trying to find right captain from rest of team being harder prediction. So thinking if he brings in 6 points for week it would mean I would need to get a goalscorer with any other captain choice to beat him.
                          Obviously he isnt going to give me 30 pointer, but that is a once in a blue moon for me.

                                That's a bizarre factor to take into account - keepers are FAR less likely to get a red card than an outfield player. 22 reds this season by my count, none for a keeper. Just weird logic.

                                    It's not logic or going by anything that's happened this season. It's just me pointing out that this kind of thing has happened in the past. A keeper can get sent off for one silly mistake. And I meant 'one-off incidents' as in they usually don't get a second warning if they clip a striker who's through on goal. You surely know what I mean...it's happened in pretty much every season

                                      It's just total nonsense though. There are many reasons not to captain a goal keeper, but to say they're more likely to get sent off for a one-off incident than an outfield player is patently untrue.

                                      There were 35 straight reds last season, how many of those went to goalkeepers, what would you say? The majority of them? Half of them? What do you reckon?

                                    if only i had one. as soon as I buy them they go off form
                                    hence the act of a desperate man

                                      Jonny I wasn't trying to say GKs get sent off more often. I just was pointing out the possible pitfalls.

                          Good captaincy candidate, albeit lower chance of getting baps

                          Anyone remember the Fulham double week years ago and a lot captained Schwarzer!?

                          No!?

                          Do you have Michu, Sess or any other Sunderland or Reading player? 🙂 If so, I'd highly recommend captaining them IMO.

                          a) keep and save FT or sell Sterling

                          b) Sell to Sess (would have to play him at OT)

                            You don't seem to be as injury affected as many. Possibly just save. 2frees could be very handy next week.

                              That said, I've already shipped Bale for Michu. Looks to be out for at least 2 gws and price will keep dropping.

                                I had hughes myself a while ago and got rid of him but i think Hangeland should solidify the defence now that hes back and senderos is out of the starting 11. should keep a clean sheet to Newcastle who have been poor.

                                Monday night could have been a different game if it stayed 11 v 11

                          Are people not getting berba because without Ruiz he will 1) get no service or 2) play too deep.

                            Probably because he hasn't been scoring any goals recently.

                            A) do you think berbatov to defoe for a hit is a wise move/ for me its hard to see berba being consistent enough.

                            or

                            B) should i do berbatov to fletcher. then at least fletchers 4pts over the 2games gaurantee's cover fo the hit?

                              On another note, I won't be having any DGW players because it's the worst DGW in history. Can't even justify it with nice runs following the DGW.

                              A DGW player in means a wasted transfer later.

                            Mignolet (Begovic)
                            Cuellar, Baines, Clark, Davies (Hughes)
                            Michu, Fellaini, Walcott (Nolan), (Bale)
                            RVP, Fletcher, Berbatov

                            Good to go? I'm still undecided over the captaincy, prob Michu, may take a punt on Fletcher if confirmed fit.
