Sky Sports Focus – Gameweek 13

With Gameweek 12 behind us, we look back at the stats that matter in the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game once again. We cast an eye over the Man of the Match (MoTM) awards and bonus point beneficiaries before assessing the Scout team and our plans for Gameweek 13.

Gameweek 12 Man of the Match Awards

Listed below are the players who caught the eye of the Sky Sports reporters from last weekend’s fixtures, achieving the Man of the Match award (worth an additional 5 points).

FixtureMoTM
Newcastle vs LiverpoolFabricio Coloccini
Arsenal vs BurnleyAlexis Sanchez
Chelsea vs QPROscar
Everton vs SwanseaSeamus Coleman
Hull vs SouthamptonVictor Wanyama
Leicester vs West BromSaido Berahino
Stoke vs West HamStewart Downing
Man City vs Man UnitedYaya Toure
Aston Villa vs TottenhamNacer Chadli
Crystal Palace vs SunderlandSteven Fletcher

Alexis Sanchez made it three MoTM awards in a row as he moved to the top of the Sky Sport game with 76 points last weekend. A hard-working goal scorer ticks the boxes for Sky in terms of MoTM as highlighted in our pre-season article and the Chilean’s form is irresistible right now – if you’re not on board already, I suggest you snap him up before it’s too late. Stewart Downing also deserves a mention after his haul at the Britannia elevated him to the second highest scoring midfielder in the game behind Cesc Fabregas – with some tasty fixtures on the horizon and costing just 6.2m, he look another great asset moving forward.

Gameweek 12 Bonus Points

Five goalkeepers achieved bonus points from collecting five or more saves. Ben Foster bagged the biggest haul of the Gameweek, earning saves bonus and a clean sheet to earn a tidy nine points. Robert Green still leads the way for keepers with ten additional points.

In defence, 16 players grabbed bonus, 11 for tackles and five for passes completed – Filipe Luis came closest to earning both, missing out by just a few completed passes. Centre-backs are currently dominating the bonus points, with four all on ten points.

In midfield, there were 20 beneficiaries in total: 15 for tackling and seven for passes. Midfield enforcers Nemanja Matic and Morgan Schneiderlin were the players to earn both and bonus king Schneiderlin now finds himself way out in front on any other midfielder with 24 extra points.

It’s extremely rare a forward picks up any bonus points but this week Connor Wickham, Bojan Krkic and Ayoze Perez all managed to pick up bonus points – a welcome addition for any of their owners.

Fantasy Football Scout members can access all information regarding bonus points using player stats and clicking the Sky Sports tab.

My Team

Fabianski
Moore Hutton Van Aanholt
Hazard Sterling Eriksen Tadic Di Maria
Aguero© Costa

ITB: 0.6m
Transfers remaining: 29/40
Last week’s points: 49
Overall points: 590
Rank: 2,782

Notes
It’s time to try and stop the rot, having slid down the rankings considerably in the last two Gameweeks. Injuries and rotation have somewhat forced my hand and out go Liam Moore, Patrick Van Aanholt, Christian Eriksen and Dusan Tadic for Ryan Bertrand, Andrew Robertson, Rolando Aarons and Alexis Sanchez. A big punt to say the least as Southampton and Hull’s fixtures are ugly but you have to think long term with defence in Sky; hopefully I won’t need to make another transfer in that department all season.

The other massive gamble is on Aarons – to be honest he’s basically an enabler for the red hot Sanchez but I sense he could offer good value at just 3.8m if he’s given the minutes. With Newcastle’s injuries in that department he should get his chance and – providing he recovers from a knock – will hopefully impress enough to take it. Eden Hazard keeps his place ahead of Cesc Fabregas for now, like many I’m still waiting for that ever elusive big haul.

Captain plan
For Saturday my captain is locked into Sergio Aguero, who’s away to QPR and then I’ll swap the armband to my new signing Alexis Sanchez for his clash at the Liberty Stadium the following day.

A reminder that with the international break in Gameweek 14 you can use a free captain swap to set yourself up for Gameweek 15 if need be.

      Hey Zlatan, what do you think of Sterling --> Chadli / Downing? Not sure how similar our teams are looking now!

      Krul - Myhill
      Cahill - Baines - Clyne - Wisdom - Dummett
      Hazard - Di Maria - Sterling - Sigurdsson - Marney
      Costa - Pellè - Berahino

      2FT and 1.4m ITB

        I think downing is a great pick over the next few weeks.
        Liverpool look a mess. I say do it.

          I'm debating between Downing or Chadli and am currently leaning towards Downing too. Thanks.

          Reckon I should hold off anything else and leave 2FT's for next week? (Plan to shift out Berahino with tough fixtures for him!)

            I'm actually considering an 8 point hit.

            Haz and welbeck > sakho and Sanchez.

            Already done Siggy > downing.

            Thoughts?

              8 point hit apart, that's a very tough decision.

              On this GW alone, I'd say Sakho and Sanchez will indeed outscore Hazard and Welbeck. And going forward, I personally think Hazard and Sanchez will score similarly for the next few GW's owing to Chelsea's kinder fixtures. And with Sakho's fixtures, I'd love to get him in too, so although it's risky, I'm very tempted to do it if I were in your position.

              Also wouldn't be surprised if Welbeck was rotated a bit with Walcott / Ox back and Wenger perhaps playing Sanchez up top possibly?

              Think I should just hold with that one transfer of Sterling --> Downing and give myself 2FT next week?

                Sterling keeps goin down in price. Depends if u think he can get u returns.

                I personally would ship sterling and bring him back in when liverpools form improves.

                  Sorry I worded that poorly. I meant should I just do that one transfer this week (I have 2FT) and leave 2 for next week, OR, do use both of my 2 FT's this week.

                  The former with Sterling --> Downing is what I've done so far. Thinking I'll just re-assess next week.
