Monitor – Andros Townsend

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

    How utterly embarrassing England are.

    I always look forward to our games and end up fed up.

    I'd be interested in what percentage of our goals are from set pieces over the years as that's how we always seem to score.

    Hart keeps launching the ball up to Rooney! Hardly a target man.

    If we are going to play like Stoke then get Crouch up there to hold the ball up.

    Rubbish.

    “Then came the war, old sport. It was a great relief, and I tried very hard to die, but I seemed to bear an enchanted life. I accepted a commission as first lieutenant when it began. In the Argonne Forest I took two machine-gun detachments so far forward that there was a half mile gap on either side of us where the infantry couldn’t advance. We stayed there two days and two nights, a hundred and thirty men with sixteen Lewis guns, and when the infantry came up at last they found the insignia of three German divisions among the piles of dead. I was promoted to be a major, and every Allied government gave me a decoration — even Montenegro, little Montenegro down on the Adriatic Sea!”

    Little Montenegro! He lifted up the words and nodded at them — with his smile. The smile comprehended Montenegro’s troubled history and sympathized with the brave struggles of the Montenegrin people. It appreciated fully the chain of national circumstances which had elicited this tribute from Montenegro’s warm little heart. My incredulity was submerged in fascination now; it was like skimming hastily through a dozen magazines.

    He reached in his pocket, and a piece of metal, slung on a ribbon, fell into my palm.

    “That’s the one from Montenegro.”

    To my astonishment, the thing had an authentic look.

    “Orderi di Danilo,” ran the circular legend, “Montenegro, Nicolas Rex.”

    “Turn it.”

    “Major Jay Gatsby,” I read, “For Valour Extraordinary.”

          Even in this game he rarely lost the ball, has nice close control and lays it off nicely when he has support. Especially the reason why Fergie chose him for both of the real games. As they needed him to help keep the ball up and get some pressure off the defense. Also a decent option on a counter. If he could just get himself half decent at finishing, he would be great.
          The main reason everyone does not rate him cause they view him as a striker while he has played a whole season on the wing for United and even as a forward he is a bit deeper.

      No but he's considerably better than Conor Sammon & Paul Green. In fact, he's better than a lot of players who have played ahead of him. Yeah there's a lot made about of him, most of it is exaggerated but Wes is a very good passer of the ball and honestly I think with him playing in the hole behind Long we would have won tonight.
