Monitor – Stephane Sessegnon

616 Comments
Share

Sold by Sunderland on the final day of the summer transfer window after then-manager Paolo Di Canio decided ”he was not capable anymore to give his best”, Stephane Sessegnon has been handed the chance to resurrect his top-flight career at the Hawthorns:

The Benin international made an immediate impact on his debut – ironically at his former manager’s expense. Handed the role in “the hole” as Steve Clarke returned to the 4-2-3-1 formation of 2012/13, Sessegnon dazzled in the Baggies’ 3-0 Gameweek 5 home win over the Black Cats and turned in a display that suggested his former manager was perhaps a little rash in his decision to sell.

Sessegnon has failed to produce a goal or assist in his following four appearances for the Baggies – given that run included games against United, Arsenal and Liverpool, in addition to a derby trip to Stoke, it’s fair to say the fixtures have been firmly against the 6.6 priced Fantasy Premier League (FPL) midfielder. With five home games in the next eight, supplemented by trips to Newcastle and Cardiff, the schedule is starting to smile a little kinder on Clarke’s side and with Sessegnon at the hub of their attacking ploys, we delve into the data to assess him displays thus far.

    I don't really have a stand out captain to pick this week. I think I might end up going with Suarez even though he's playing against Arsenal just because how good he is.

    Another option is Michu but he hasn't produced in a few games.

    I could go a bit ballsy and put it as Ravel Morrison

    Or I could bring in Oscar and make him my captain

      Never trust Oscar, I have been.

      Suarez is not a bad choice. He's in form and usually do well away from home.

      After being punished by Michu's misfiring the week before, I put the armband on Townsend last week, which yielded a solid three points.
      This is why now I've opted for a -4 on Aguero, who will be the next one to let me down in a third consecutive week.

    Hi,

    Right starting and bench order?

    Ramsey - Lallana - Michu - Ozil
    Sturridge - Lukaku - Giroud

    Bench: Lewis, Barkley (TOT), Dawson (eve), Turner (SWA)

    Sagna--------Mert-------Kos-------Gibbs
    --------------Arteta-----Wilshere
    -----Ramsey-----Ozil---------Cazorla
    --------------------Giroud

    ------------Suarez-----Sturridge
    -------------Henderson/Coutinho
    Cissokho---Lucas---Gerrard----Johnson
    ---------Sakho---Skrtel----Toure

    I can't see a cleanie for either team lol. Lots of goals on the cards.

    Think Pool will have a lot of joy in front of goal with Flamini out and Suarez/Sturridge ideally suited to the counterattack where Arsenal have been horribly punished of late.

    I think Arsenal's best hope is putting Liverpool's central midfield out of the game, with Cazorla and Ramsey drifting inside to dominate the centre through numbers. If we press them hard I think we can show the cracks in that midfield trio.

    Might see Pool knocking it long to Suarez and Sturridge. The more time they spend on the ball, the better Pool's chances.

      Can't wait to see Coutinho operates behind those two.

      Thought Wilshere and rambo would be the other way around?

      We don't do knocking it long 😛
      I don't think the midfield battle is where this game will be decided. You guys will control it and we'll look to keep it tight.
      The thing arsenal should be worried about is our wing backs linking up with midfield

    Re Benteke v Lukaku on last page. Lukaku has crazy potential for sure but tekkers is a much more complete and consistent player. Not many strikers can match him in that respect. Lukaku tends to be unplayable or terrible which is why Chelsea haven't been willing to rely on him.

      He's never been terrible. Aguero has been unplayable or terrible last season. Lukaku is either unplayable or average, a lot more the former than the latter. Agree about Benteke though.

        I have seen him play some stinkers. Usually he is absolutely brilliant but when he's off he's really off. Only 20 so that's to be expected. Tekkers is a freak in terms of consistency for a young striker

      Not sure I'm convinced by the "more complete" argument.
      Did the fact that Pippo Inzaghi was so one-dimensional make him a worse player?
      And more importantly, would his one-sidedness make Inzaghi a less attractive player FPL-wise?

        Yes you're right it doesn't necessarily mean he's worse. I should have explained better, tekkers is more complete imo but the thing that really separates them is consistency. Lukaku is the better player on his day and if he can play at his best weekly like tekkers he'd be better

          Isn't consistency of the team he's playing in a really big factor in this? Everton are way more consistent than Villa. Last week was billed as Battle of the Belgians. Lukaku came out on top. I expect him to better Benteke most weeks. Everton will create loads more goal scoring opportunities than Villa and Lukaku will put them away.

    Harper (Migs)
    Coleman, Chico, Clyne (Walker, Faye)
    Ravel, Michu, Ozil, Oscar, (Barkley)
    Giroud, Rooney, Sturridge

    0.5m in the bank and 2FTs.

    Been quite happy with the side for a while, wanting to give Michu another chance.

    Who would be your first priority?

    Thoughts on getting Ivanovic to partner JT in my team from GW12 onwards?
