Versus – Mata, Hazard, Sterling and Ramsey

There may be under a week left under the 2014/15 season gets underway but for many Fantasy managers, the midfield dilemma is yet to be resolved. In the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, in particular, the player price list has handed us numerous options to consider for our five-man midfields, with ten players coming in at 9.0 or over:

In this, our latest article for members, we take a look at four of the main contenders – Eden Hazard, Aaron Ramsey, Juan Mata and Raheem Sterling – currently on Fantasy radars.

Sterling has netted in two of his last four appearances and, after notching nine times last term, is backed by many to step up for Liverpool after Luis Suarez’ departure. Ramsey’s 10 goals and nine assists in just 23 appearances last season has catapulted the Welshman into the premium bracket at 9.0, with his strike in yesterday’s Community Shield handing us a timely reminder of his talents. Mata (9.0) has been one of Louis van Gaal’s star performers in the role in “the hole” in a new 3-4-1-2 formation, whilst the 10.0-priced Hazard, despite only returning to pre-season action last week, sits in 22% of squads ahead of fixtures against promoted pair Burnley and Leicester in his first two fixtures.

Casting an eye back to last season, then, we delve into the data and compare their respective displays. First up, we assess each player’s creativity and distribution.

      Hey big spender, think you might be going a bit too large in defence considering you will have to play Bojan every week. Perhaps you could go:

      Taylor to Bartley
      Shawcross to Huth
      Coloccini to Hutton/Moore/Wisdom

      Then use the spare 1.5 to change Isgrove to Siggy and rotate him with Bojan?

      Just a thought.

        I agree, I would like to have Siggy in there to rotare with Bojan but the defence then seems so weak. Thanks for the comment!

          Taylor to Bartley is an easy way of saving 0.5 on Swansea defence, Huth is not as nailed as Shawcross, but he is the second most likely to play in Stoke's back 4, and it seems a bit much to pay 5.5 for a Stoke defender, despite their history. Coloccini seems to be a random afterthought in that defence because you had 4.5 left for your last spot. To be honest, I can't see you needing your 5th defender, and with the 3 I mentioned all at 4.0 and seeming likely to nail a spot early doors, it would just be the easiest way to skim that last 0.5 you need to get a decent mid that rotates perfectly with Bojan.

          Seems pretty elementary to me.

    What do you think about dropping Ramsey for Siggy to upgrade Long to Giroud? It makes it much more balanced imo, and Giroud will surely do well with Ramsey, Sanchez, Ozil, Cazorla, etc. feeding him?

    Mids/Forwards would be

    Siggy/Mata/Lamela/Hazard/4.5
    Rooney/Costa/Giroud

      Not sure whether Long is the best option at his price in attack, but don't quite me on that. That being said, I have both Ramsey and Siggy and they are the most nailed in my midfield 5, wouldn't get rid of either imo.

        Starting to get cold feet on Siggy a little, but with that extra 3M, that's a lot of improvement to the team which could very easily make up the point difference, so getting hard to turn down.

          Turn down for what?...Pun intended but the point still stands. At his price, I can't see any better alternatives, and because he is so kindly priced, it makes a world of difference to the rest of your team.

    Oh great, I've started to want Silva in my midfield now. Silva, Hazard, Ramsey, Fabregas, Mata, Lamela, Sterling and I'm supposed to pick 3 or 4 at a stretch. Can you imagine if Ozil and Walcott were fit or Lallana was still at Saints. Far too many options this year, I wish they'd priced some of them out of contention.

      Overpriced, but at the very least gives you some flexibility to jump down to Sanchez/Hazard/9m mid if you need to. Also gives flexibility for a 4-pt. hit, which may be a popular thing to do in the first 2-3 weeks.

      Removing bias, I would feel most comfortable having a rotating partner with him to start off. I don't think Palace are in the "auto-start against all except top 4" category just yet - though they may emerge to fit that qualification as the season wears on. But you could do a lot worse than playing him every week as Palace were just as good defensively last year after TP took over as any club in the Prem.

      It's a sick team. Good balance even though lots of big hitters. If anything I'd possibly try to upgrade defence a bit so you have one big hitter. Cahill, baines etc. but if you can't it's fine that team will still get you off to a flier.

      Nothing to fault here. You could swap Krul for a 4.0 and one of your 5's to Evans. But that's just personal preference. Nice team.

      If you have two 4.0s you're going to have a bad time. They are all crap options, just take one for absolute last spot and never start unless in an emergency. Find that .5 somewhere to have a 4.5 4th defender.
