Monitor – Moussa Sissoko

8 February 2013 773 comments

Mark

With two goals and an assist in his first two outings for Newcatle, it’s fair to say that Moussa Sissoko has announced his arrival in the Premier League with a bang. Fantasy managers have taken little time to react. Sissoko has earned over 80,000 new owners in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) in the last six days, second only to the Liverpool assets who are about to enjoy two fixtures in the Gameweek.

Sissoko’s immediate appeal is obvious – thrust into a “number 10” role in support of Papiss Cisse from a central position in Newcastle’s attacking midfield three, the omens look good for continued profit to put a smile on the face of Alan Pardew and Sissoko’s new owners alike.

Is he the real deal? With just two appearances so far, the data available affords a limited sample but can, nonetheless, offer a barometer to Sissoko’s potential next to the established midfielders on offer. In this latest article for members, we investigate how Sissoko’s numbers stack up, both against the Premier League’s best and the assets on offer in Alan Pardew’s squad.

I don't count Sturridge as being unfit BTW, as it's all just a ploy not to arouse suspicion over his 'international injury'. The ice pack, the late fitness test, it's like Oceans 13.

REPOST:

Keep Fellaini or lose him for Michu?
Free transfer. Only have Davies and Suarez as DGW cover at the moment. Also with Fellaini dropping tonight, I wont lose any value on him.

Only issue is that if I lose Fellaini, I might not get him back soon.
Plan to do Suarez to Aguero and Fletcher to Cisse next week as my next two transfers.

It was pretty 50/50 on who to lose for Gerrard this week. I chose Bale as I wouldn't lose any value on him and Fellaini looked good for a 0.2m rise after a 15 point haul. Instead Fellaini is dropping in price, didn't see that coming! 🙂
