Monitor – Raheem Sterling

29 October 2014 3613 comments

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

    Silva to hazard. Looks like a straightforward move now, right?

    I need to do this tonight just in case hazard's value sneakily jumps up

    With 2FT and 0.0 ITB, should I do Downing > Boyd to free up money and still have 2FT next week?

    Forster (Hamer)
    Clyne Moore Wisdom (Duff Naylor)

        Would only have 6.2 swapping Naylor for Baines for the midfield spot. Not sure any 6.2 and less mid plus Baines is better than Naylor and Sterling at the moment, tough one.

        Cheers, that's been an idea. The sad thing is I only really want Baines in as I feel with Clyne in there, it would then be a good balance, however impossible to get him in without removing a player I want to keep 🙁

      Annoyingly good team to have 2 FTs! Downing has some good fixtures lined up. What about a keeper change or an uber cheap defender?

      I had this problem until i logged in 10 minutes ago and heard Silba was injured. Best to leave the transfer until saturday morning, whatever you decide to do

        Ha cheers! I think I plan keeping Forster the season unless something goes wrong and not too bothered Hamer not playing.

        Unfortunately with 0 ITB only sideway moves unless I downgrade a mid, though only the ones I want to keep provide the funds to upgrade to Baines.

        Think I'll wait till Friday evening / Saturday morning yeah, been the best idea so far regarding injuries cropping up. Cheers 🙂

        Yeah that's been going around in my head!

        Siggy not great form alike Sterling in a sense, though in a way now I see Sterling more a differential (at least I believe for the non-casuals of FF) and Siggy has set-pieces with Bony looking dangerous of late.

        Will wait till Friday or Saturday then make a decision, feels unnatural not making any with 2FT!

        I am, undecided for now. As a United fan I find it very tough to captain Aguero but he always scores against us and we will definitely concede. Hazard has more potential for a haul but could equally come back with a 2.

    Ivanovic owners me included. Aren't we delusional a little bit? he scored 2 goals, yeah I agree but he has 4 shots on target in total. Surely a regression candidate. And he has only 1 shot on target in last 5 PL games. I checked this stat too.

    I am thinking of downgrading. But on the other hand he is assured of starts and Che fixtures are starting to be awesome after the Liv game. Surely he will get the license to bomb forward again...

    Is it pure luck or someone could argue pro or against Ivanovic from now on. Forget the past. BTW Have in mind that I/we already own Baines, Ivanovic is possible supplement for me, not a replacement.

    Thanks

    Hello all! Which of these do you prefer?

    A) Sigurdsson to Sanchez for free and Welbeck to Pelle next week for free.
    B) Sterling to Sanchez and Welbeck to Costa for -4?
    C) Sterling to Sanchez for free, Naylor to 4.9 def for free, then following week Welbeck to Costa. No hits.

    If I do (A) I can't afford to get Costa in and I am afraid he will get a big haul against QPR also. Think (A) is the most sensible option though..

      I toyed with bringing Oscar in too. He might score big but let's face it, Hazard is who you really want this week.

    A) Adm-->sanchez
    Or
    B) Sterling-->fabregas

    Only Chelsea cover is Costa. Have no arsenal players.

      B of those options though I'd probably just save the transfer instead.

      You appear to have the same issue as me ----> No arsenal cover for this weekend

      Pelle --> Welbeck?

    Am I correct in thinking Southampton have only had one televised fixture so far(vs Liverpool in GW1)?

    No surprise i'm yet to watch a full 90 minutes of them this season.

    Any changes needed or am I good to go:

    Begovic (Krul)
    Clyne Baines PVA (Wisdom Tomkins)
    Fab Siggy Sterling ADM (Jones)
    Pelle Aguero Berahino

    1FT and £1.5 ITB

    Tempted to stick, but the Def is a bit weak, and I'm scared of No Arsenal cover....

    In order to (maybe) make me feel better about transfers made and such, how would you rate this team going forward?

    Heaton (McCarthy)

    Baines - Chambers - Clyne (Taylor, Moore)

    Sanchez - Hazard - Sterling - Sigurdsson (Boyd)

    Aguero - Pelle - Welbeck
