Monitor – Raheem Sterling

3,613 Comments
Share

The season could barely have started brighter for Raheem Sterling after the youngster grabbed two goals and an assist in the opening three Gameweeks for Liverpool. With Daniel Sturridge sidelined ever since, however, Sterling has struggled to replicate his early form, scoring just once and earning a pair of assists in the subsequent six Gameweeks.

Despite a weekend showdown against Newcastle on his agenda, Sterling is the most sold player in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, with over 65,000 owners parting company in order to acquire the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Dusan Tadic and Cesc Fabregas.

In our second members article of the week, we take a look at his displays with and without Sturridge on the park in order to ascertain just why he’s failed to deliver.

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

      They have been dismantling Dortmund for a while now.

      With that said, some blame needs to be placed at the feet of the players. Considering Gotze and Lewandowski became what they are today thanks to Dortmund's hard work, turning around and asking to go to Bayern/refusing to sign a new contract at the club is spitting in their face.

      Gotze was a Dortmund school boy player ffs, Lewandowski was a good striker in a meh league before they nabbed him.

      I can only hope Reus doesn't do the same thing but in football, especially in Germany it seems, loyalty is hard to come by.

          Yeah sure it's a concern, but Downing has been playing well and still getting into good positions. If Soton had Hull at home I'd say roll with them both but as it is I think it's a good idea to hedge there as it isn't the easiest place to keep clean....small sample size but Hull have yet to be shut out at home this term. But, as my NZ Kiwi friend said, your gut has been treating you this year so go with it! If it's telling you to sit Downing then go on 🙂

    Really struggling with this: DDG/Chadli/Sterling - Krul/Downing/Sanchez for an 8pnt hit?

        You're probably right, if I could gain 0.2 then I can do Wilson to Naylor in a couple of weeks, but that would mean Saylor - how nailed on do we think he is?

    Well, I've always hated S Davis since the second week for picking him as my fifth midfielder. Has dropped to 4.8, stopped me from getting Pelle/Bertrand, and also been hardly fashionable.

    But looks like he's doing fine. Nailed-on in the midfield three, getting forward well, and he has got me 9 points in the two games I needed him off the bench.

    Ah, already with an assist and two shots on target tonight.
