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

    Baines has had an incredible start to the season. The fixtures were tough to start with for Everton but he has still managed to deliver excellent returns.

    Already on 1 goal and 6 assists. Whereas he manged 5 assists in the whole of last season.

    Looks like he's is in for a big season as the fixtures look bright going forward.

    Is Baines 'essential' then?

        What does he have to do to be essential then?

        He is just 8 points behind the highest scoring player in FPL atm.

        7m price tag for such a player seems essential to me.

          'Essential' means you HAVE to have him... in other words, the only way you can win FPL is by having Baines in your side... I don't think that's the case.

            He has achieved that status atm imo.

            If a 7m forward would have returned 51 points by now, you'd be raving about him, wouldn't you? And he would also be labelled as a 'bargain'.

            So why not Baines when he has the added CS potential?

              Like I said... he's a very effective weapon, not knocking him one bit. But you asked if he was essential... and I'm saying he isn't, because a manager could still win FPL without owning him. We aren't going to agree on the essential side... so we'll just agree Baines is a great FPL player (just not an essential one) haha!

    Aguero - class
    Pelle - on fire and good next few fixtures
    Welbeck - BUR next

    And then there's

    Costa - essential before his injury and QPR next

    Options...talk to me....

    A. PVA / Pelle > Chambers / Costa (c) - the original plan

    B. PVA / AdM > Baines / Hazard (c) - but then can't get Costa again without losing Aguero, hits or a WC

    C. PVA / Aguero > Chambers / Costa - crazy talk right? Right??

    D. Sterling / Welbeck > Tadic / Costa (could add PVA > Chambers for -4)

    E. AdM / Welbeck > Ramsey (or Tadic) / Costa (ditto re -4 option)

      I am leaning towards a solution of drafting in Sanchez for Sterling this week, make him captain, and find a way to get in Costa for Welbeck during the next couple of gameweeks. Scrificing Baines most likely. It would be criminal to drop Pelle on current form, and I am not comfortable covering Chelsea with hazard instead of Costa, alongside Fabregas. Chelsea offensive shape is different this season with Costa included. It is not given that Hazard will return the same as last year.

    People that think of Baines as a midfielder with the possibility of clean sheet, do you play him as a midfielder also in a 4-3-3? Since he is so expensive, it can become difficult to get a solid midfield and attack with baines in the team, but if you count him as a midfielder it would make sense to have 2 cheap midfielders in the team instead of 1 and play 4-3-3?

      Pretty much, but I still play 3-4-3 as often as possible, even if it means a cheaper mid playing

      Wouldn't It be better to play 8 attackers then?

    This week is a brain buster - I sold Costa for Kun last week (sigh). Anyhow, I want him back in my life but absolutely have to lose one of these big boys to do it.

    Who would you choose to make way for Costa:??

    A) Fab
    B) Di Maria
    C) Baines
    D) Kun

    Its my order of preference atm (Chadli would come in for Mid and Welbeck would go)

    I feel this a choice is one a lot of FPLers will have to make soonish and Costa v QPR could be a massacre.

      Leave it.

      Those four players are pretty much guaranteed to start and play 90 mins. Costa may or may not.

    Ok so I have 2FT 1.4 in the bank so what's the best move?

    A) Sterling + Moreno ---> Sanchez + Tomkins
    B) Sterling + Siggy ---> Sanchez + Downing
    C) Sterling + Welbeck ---> Sanchez + Valencia
    or
    D) Sterling ---> Tadic, and keep the FT + 1.0 extra cash
