Monitor – Andros Townsend

26 March 2013 1825 comments

A goal in each of the last couple of Gameweeks has brought Andros Townsend onto Fantasy radars over the international break. Since arriving on loan at Loftus Road, the winger seems to have firmly established himself as a key member of Harry Redknapp’s first-team – starting five of the last six matches, he has also chipped in with a pair of assists and received six bonus points in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, averaging 6.6 points per game. In this latest article for members, we take a look at the underlying Opta statistics to see how he’s been performing and examine whether he really is a viable target for the fifth midfield slot in our squads.

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

              Depends on when you need him for. If you only need him for this week, I'd say go for it. If it's long term, you may need to reconsider.

                it'd be some of both. i'd hope he'd at least play in the dgw though. else it might be best to hold off and get fab in for bunn instead

                  Both are at risk of losing their spots. I'd focus more on your front 8, unless you can't field XI

                    My suggestion is no. Jelavic showing specs of last season's form with that late goal vs City. Nowhere near a certain starter.

                    What if you consider that Fellaini AND Pienaar are out too? Surely Anichebe would be at least guaranteed starting spots?

                    My logic is you want a 3rd striker that plays 90 mins consistently. Anichebe won't get that. I'm looking at Berbatov personally.

                    That late goal against City that was a massive counter, with him only scoring because of a huge deflection...

                    Speaking of 90 minutes, would you consider Jermaine Jenas then? (Can't get Townsend due to financial constraints, Jenas is a touch lower at 4.2). His stats were actually better than Townsend's (in fact it was as good as Remy's). We can discuss this quicker on TFPL if you want, I'm there already

      I'd wait until nearer the time. Obviously less than £5m for a player whose team has a DGW with two home games is very tempting, but if you bring in Fabianski/Jenkinson and they lose their spot, you're back to square one and will have to take a hit.

      I'm waiting until GW33 to make a decision on Szczesney. I may do a double swap, including Juusi/Schwarzer/DDG and Jenkinson/Sagna. Hopefully I won't have to.

      Think you're ok (for this week). The very worst thing that could happen to you is that Walcott doesn't play, mata is rested and both your defenders come on, which isn't the worst thing in the world. I'd save. You don't have THAT much more downside while the upsides are still quite huge 🙂 Good luck

      Saving transfers at this stage of the season can be gold, especially if you haver no pressing transfers to be made!

      What about Marv? Will he play? if not, Marv > a Fulham mid or even Osman might not be a bad punt considering you have Wally, Mata and Rooney as doubts to play.

      Fergie says he'll play his freshest players on Saturday but I doubt that will be his main team selection. In reality, he'll just pick his team for Chelsea on Monday, then play whoever isn't in it.

      This is the problem with Utd attackers. They've all played over the International break.

      Welbeck and Hernandez have played the least I think. Its feasible that those 2 start the Sunderland game and Rooney and RVP play in the cup.

      But, in all honesty, its pointless trying to second guess what Sir Alex is going to do.

      I just have a feeling that I will have an in-form-again RVP inactive for the early Saturday kick off!

            Hernandez will definitely play against Chelsea. SAF always starts him due to his amazing record against them and he has had a long flight.

            It'll be between Welbeck, RVP & Rooney for Sunderland.

            As it's pointed out above, it's always difficult trying to predict what Fergie will do but my guess is RVP & Welbeck.

            RVP because we could do with him continuing this return to form and Welbeck because SAF always seems to pick players against their old team (albeit a stint on loan).

        The Wembley game against Montenegro will pretty much decide the group I think.

      I know. It's all of the players in our team who don't have 'pure blood'.

      Luckily you don't have that 'problem'.

      most people seem to be looking at Suarez or Santi for (c) this GW, have a nagging suspicion that RVP will do better than both

      Just second guessing my (c) choice I guess 😀

        Oh, ok. Good. Because Berbatov(c) is the real deal. I remember Stilicho or Jonty doing a post on players after international breaks and how those that are rested perform the best.
