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

    Interesting article. As a matter of curiosity, does anybody know what the average goal conversion % is? Or at least what you'd expect a top midfielder like Sterling to be achieving?

    6% seems ridiculously low and given the attempts he's sure to start firing again in the future.

      I'd expect him to be doing better than 6%. It's the fact that the forward line isn't helping him. Like the article said, I think once Sturridge is back then he'll start racking em up again.

      Balotelli is too greedy and just shoots from everywhere. Hence to 22 attempts and 0 goals...

            Reckon Sanchez will be involved in a goal, Hazard should be against QPR but not too sure.

            Sterling, despite the form that has annoyed me no end, could do well against Newcastle and it's those points plus the -8 that could hurt you.

            Alcarez v Bert there's only one winner though.

              Cabella interview in L'Equipe said he's really struggling with the pace of the premier league and after 45mins he's wrecked.

                cheers mate. think im going w Oberta. sure, boyd is the obvious 90 min nailed. but that team cant score, only 5 goals. and news last 4 won 3 and in firm.
                Obertan was very good bak in france, thinking its him + sisoko and that 3rd spot btn cabella and gouffran and even amoebi.
                upfront cisse/riviere.
                risk is rotation but thinking bertan can get his 60-70 min p/ game.
                cabella is very talented also.

      Probably Saylor of them.

      I trust Newcastle defence over Leicester defence.

        I am worried about Raylor and Williamson threatening Dummet and Saylor starting spots.

        Yun? TH you know more about him? Do you think he is gonna be starter from now on? I must choose now, I don't believe I will have time to sell my 4,0 defender later on

          I like what I see in Yun he looks very good on the ball and from the two games I saw him play I was impressed.

          I'm thinking of going there myself.

          He was highly praised by Harry Redknapp and Gary Neville after the Villa game. If I think who his competition is you'd think Clint Hill or A.Traore I'd say he ahead of both not sure about Onouha but he's injured at the mo.
