Fixtures

Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 16 – The Strong

We cast an eye over the festive schedule this evening and focus on those sides with favourable sets of fixtures over the next four to six Gameweeks. Both halves of Manchester have reason for optimism, whilst Swansea and Everton have the platform to push on from disappointing weekend defeats.

Man City

“frisking

Could there have been a worse time for Sergio Aguero to succumb to injury? Not only had the Argentine hit a run of form that was beginning to rival that of Luis Suarez’s last year, but the oncoming fixture list was set to offer him the chance to raise his stock even further. On the back of four consecutive league victories, City now face a plum next five, with Etihad encounters against Crystal Palace, Burnley and Sunderland married with trips to out-of-sorts Leicester and West Brom.

City have this evening confirmed a four-to-six-week absence and, as Aguero’s 31% ownership search for an exit route, that schedule affords both Edin Dzeko and Stefan Jovetic a chance to force their way into Fantasy managers’ plans. Much depends on whether Manuel Pellegrini opts for a lone striker set-up or a two man frontline; should it be the former, managers are likely to steer clear until a clearer picture emerges of who is the front runner. Jovetic seems to have overcome the knock that kept him out of this weekend’s win over of Everton and has two goals in his last three appearances, and whilst Dzeko has failed to make a start since Gameweek 9 due to injury, he arguably looks the most suited to the lone forward role.

With so much uncertainty now hanging round the forward positions, the 10.7-priced Yaya Toure has stepped up his performances at just the right time – with goals in three of his last four outings, and penalty duties now in the bag, the Ivorian’s form could see him rack up the returns before he heads off to the Africa Cup of Nations (ACoN) next month. The downside, of course, is that he sits on four yellows – just one shy of a suspension. Meanwhile, at the back, City have clocked up two shut-outs in their last three, with Gael Clichy scoring once and earning bonus points on both of those occasions, but with Aleksandar Kolarov back from injury, it remains to be seen whether he remains a secure starter. Vincent Kompany looks likely to be back in time for tomorrow’s clash with Roma and still remains the most reliable option for starts in the champions’ back-four.

Swansea

“frisking

With two wins and a couple of losses in their last five fixtures, the Swans are amid a streaky patch of form but now have some cracking Christmas fixtures to help improve their consistency. Trips to Hull, Liverpool and QPR will offer hope aplenty, whilst Aston Villa’s visit to the Liberty also looks promising for Garry Monk’s outfit.

It’s all about Wilfried Bony in the Swans’ attack, though managers should be wary that the 8.4-valued striker, who has fetched returns in seven of his last nine appearances, is set to leave for the ACoN in January. Before then, however, the Ivorian has the chance to ensure he finishes 2014 as the league’s top-scoring player in the calendar year.

Gylfi Sigurdsson’s creativity is likely to prove essential to Bony’s cause, and the midfielder, now up to 7.0, will be looking to add to his tally of eight assists across the coming weeks. At the back, all of the Swans rearguard assets continue to fly relatively under the radar, despite their defensive solidity this season. Lukasz Fabianski’s (5.2) red card last Sunday could see the keeper miss this weekend’s clash with Spurs if an appeal falls through, though the Pole still looks a prime candidate for a spot between the sticks beyond that. Neil Taylor does, however, offer managers a route into the Swans’ rearguard for just 4.8 and should tempt investment now he has served out a one-match suspension.

Man United

“frisking

Last night’s performance at Southampton may have been unconvincing, but the result fell in Louis van Gaal’s favour and took the Red Devils’ winning streak to five. A top-of-the-bill clash with rivals Liverpool is next on the cards for United, who then face enticing fixtures against Aston Villa, Newcastle and Stoke in their following four.

With Van Gaal’s defence still in limbo, only David De Gea really warrants our attention at the back at the moment – at 5.5, the Spaniard’s commanding performances have ensured that United have conceded more than a single goal in just one of the last 10 Gameweeks. In midfield, De Gea’s compatriot Juan Mata has the chance to further his cause whilst Angel Di Maria remains sidelined with a hamstring problem – the 8.4-priced man has started every match since the former Real Madrid star’s injury, and highlighted his potential with a goal in Gameweek 14.

Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are now set to go head-to-head for the affections of Aguero’s owners, with both having impressed in their recent displays. Van Persie’s brace at St Mary’s earned the Dutchman a second double-figure haul in his last three, and suggested the 2.3%-owned striker may yet prove to be an explosive differential from here on in.

Everton

“frisking

Just one win in their last six league outings means that Roberto Martinez’s side will be desperate to rediscover their best form as imminently as possible, and the schedule will certainly offer a helping hand. The Toffees’ next five all look promising, with Goodison Park clashes against QPR and Stoke either side of a trip to Southampton in Gameweek 17, with subsequent away days to Newcastle and Hull then following on.

The Merseysiders have let themselves slip defensively in recent weeks, and are without a clean sheet since Gameweek 10, whilst Leighton Baines, often so reliable for atoning for a lack of defensive returns with attacking performances, has blanked in his last three appearances. The 7.3-priced left-back will now be hoping to re-establish himself as a mainstay in our backlines, though Seamus Coleman is also on the radar after being fielded on the right wing against Man City on Saturday evening. Kevin Mirallas’ return to fitness has finally offered us a viable option in the Toffees’ midfield – the Belgian has been amongst the points in two of his last three displays – whilst Romelu Lukaku’s goalscoring consistency could make the 9.0 priced-striker a target for some of Aguero’s current crop of owners.

Also to consider

Aston Villa 
A hard-fought win over Leicester ensured that the Villains have now managed back-to-back victories and are without a loss since Gameweek 10. The goals are also beginning to flow for Paul Lambert’s side, who now square up to West Brom, Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Leicester once again in their next six. Alan Hutton underlined his budget value with a strike against the Foxes, and with just three goals conceded in their last five, the Midlanders’ rearguard is warranting plenty of attention right now. Up top, the 7.9-valued Christian Benteke has bagged a goal and an assist in his last two since his return from injury, and with an ownership of just 1.0%, looks a ready-made differential for our frontlines across the festive period.

Sunderland
A run of five matches without a win doesn’t justly represent the hard work and spirit the Black Cats have shown in recent weeks – they’ve managed clean sheets in three of those, including resilient displays against Chelsea and Liverpool. The fixture list now begins to turn in their favour, with home encounters against West Ham and Hull and visits to Newcastle and Villa in their next four. Costel Pantilimon has vindicated Gus Poyet’s decision to turn to his services between the sticks with a series of impressive performances and, at 4.4, looks a great pick for managers in the market for a keeper. Further forward, the pickings are admittedly slim – Seb Larsson has started every match of the season so far and notched two goals and three assists, whilst the 5.6-rated Connor Wickham will be looking to build on his Gameweek 14 goal against Man City.

Liverpool
Granted, the next two (mun, ARS) for Brendan Rodgers’ inconsistent Reds are sure to prove a mighty challenge, but the schedule then shines favourably beyond that, with meetings against Burnley, Leicester and Sunderland in the following four. The Merseysiders have picked up their defensive performances of late, conceding just once in their last three outings since Lucas returned to midfield, and Martin Skrtel’s guaranteed starts and penchant for bonus points make the Slovakian the most obvious pick in their rearguard. Elsewhere, the impending fixtures could see Raheem Sterling’s prospects pick up and allow Rickie Lambert to impress up top in Daniel Sturridge’s continued absence.

    Is there a defender other than yun under 4.0 who is nailed

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No

      Wasilewski.

      Saylor probably will be as well when he returns from suspension.

  2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

    What's the story with Pienaar? Is/was he injured and is he likely to come back in on the left side? Gonna ship Baines if Mirallas keeps getting the start

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Mirallas will always be preferred to Pienaar unless Martinez gives him a rest.

        thanks lads, that first article is from 27/11 🙂

          At least he tried googling for you, instead of suggesting you do it yourself (like many would)! 🙂

  3. RangerMouse

    Is it worth doing either???

    A)Boyd -> Ramsey -4
    B)Boyd -> Silva -4

    1. Indian_Ronaldo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not IMO.

    3. Teror
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      To Ramsey is the lesser gamble. He's shown form recently while Silva hasn't even come back from injury.

    4. enrico.palazzo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Out of curiosity, how about the same for free? (Cork instead too)

      1. RangerMouse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I would do it for sure, to Ramsey.

    @La Roja.. still with me in captaining Lukaku? Who else wants to join us?! 😛

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Armband on him and reluctant to move it.

      Less people joins, more chances for ranking improvement.

      1. Kurtinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Good point. I don't think many are crazy enough to risk it haha.

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

      Been there done that, never, ever, again

      Never get deceived coz of fixtures in case of Lukaku. Likely 2*2 =4.
      Have been suffered last season.

      1. La Roja

        Sometimes u just wanna risk it.

        It is that moment...

        1. Kurtinho
          • 9 Years

          Never a better week.

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years

            +1

  5. Saint & Reevesy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Don't normally ask these but am genuinely unsure of this........

    Current:

    Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, downing
    Rooney, Bentekkers, Kun

    A - hazard and Kun out - in come Toure and Costa
    B - Siggy and Kun out I in come Toure and Bony

    Thoughts?

    1. Indian_Ronaldo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kun to Aguero
      No bullshit

      1. Saint & Reevesy
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        What?

    2. Kurtinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard out?! He's the player most want to captain this week.

      1. Kurtinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Seriously, I like B.

        1. Saint & Reevesy
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I like both that's what's killing me. I want to keep haz but I think Costa is a more reliable captain pick..... I want Toure but can't afford Toure,Haz and Costa...... So was leaning towards A.

      Nice...PL killers obviously

  7. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    So the Man City defence is a big question this week, with Clichy and Zabaleta being talked up. In your opinion, which of Kolarov and Sagna offer the greatest rotation risk to the former players?

    1. Kostja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kolarov for sure

    2. The Light Knight
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kolarov- Clichy's HAD to play every game for a while

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        this is a very good point +1, clichy will get a rest as your right, played every game. zabaleta it is

    3. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      kolarov. It's not even close. 50% of clichy's gametime is gone now

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        50% wow, clichy is getting worse by the minute

    4. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kolorov but you'd expect everyone to get a rest at some point shirly.

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I am serious and don't call be shirly! So you could argue it comes down too:

        Kompany + 4yc's + nailed-on-ness vs Zabaleta + rotation with Sagna for possibly 1 game

        1. Delhidynamo
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Attacking threat of Zaba swings it imo

    Is it worth a -4 to upgrade any weak spots? Want Ramsey, but if I was to swap Boyd for Ramsey i'd have too many good midfielders and too weak a defence. Thoughts?

    Mr Yaya Toure ....what a conundrum! Is it worth -4 to accommodate him? Or go for A? .....
    .

    A.) Aguero & Chambers ---> Lukaku & Baines

    or

    B.) Aguero, Chambers, Downing ---> Sakho, Coleman/Terry, Yaya (-4)

    ???

      There's a Spurs league, about 7 in it I think. Townsend, Mason, Dier are the only names I can remember.

        Nice one

      heaps would. Spurs players have their own league. Imagine being able to select yourself 🙂

        I wonder if they would 🙂

      match fixing , anyone?

      Think Crouch also plays. He took himself out too cos he wasn't playing so well.

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        That' funny 😀

      Stoke definitely had a mini league.

      And Leon Osman talked about dropping Baines from his team once.

    wtf is wrong with redskin fans/owners? Losers

    Thanks for all the chat and debate over man city defence over the last few pages, Zabaleta it is

  23. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years

    Lukaku or Costa (C)?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku if u have big balls

      Costa if you're p*ssy

      😀

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Ooops oh well... 😀

      2. Kurtinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I bet Lukaku has the bigger balls.

    So it seems a red flag doesn't protect a player's price? WTF?

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think it means more people need to take them out, three times more maybe. I guess that happened with Aguero.

      1. Sad Ken
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        F&*@ beans!

        1. Black Knights
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          It's a real shame. I'm going to end up doing Aguero out and Sanchez in, and there was a 0.2m swing on that for me last night. Silly!

    I just had a very weird dream... Hazard scored a hat-trick and got an assist against Hull.

    1. Kurtinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Also had a very weird dream. It is probably too dirty to disclose on the internet, however.

  26. For Fuchs Sake

    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who's punting on Dzeko then?

    1. thetinkerman
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If he plays around 60 mins tonight and looks lively, I don't think I'll be able to resist!

    2. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah depending on tonight goes, it looks like he's in for me.

      1. Think Tank
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He's my next transfer.

        Should be nailed, playing in one of the most free-scoring teams in the league with the best fixtures till January wc.

        1. Black Knights
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Likewise! What more could you ask for, perfect storm. And 3m cheaper than Aguero!

    3. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm keeping an eye on him tonight.

      With Costa at home to Hull it seems a bit too risky atm but we'll see.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'll have Costa and Dzeko though. Can't get Bony in. City's fixtures too good to ignore.

        1. CABAYE4
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yep someone's going to score a lot of points.

          Not really sure who though!

    4. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Me, already brought him in

      *bricking it*

  27. Screaming Midget
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Which do you prefer?

    A: Boyd > Yaya + Aguero > Sakho (or anyone =< 6.6)
    B: Fabregas > Yaya + Aguero > Costa/Rooney (or anyone =< 11.5)

    I've got Hazard/Sanchez/Siggy/Austin/Bony

    1. Your Mum's Athletic

      A will give you a headache every week so B

    I held back on starting my Advent Calendar for a few days and now counts down to the January WC opening. 22 days to go!

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      sorry to be rude but that is sad

      1. Screaming Midget
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I think he's kidding.

        1. Your Mum's Athletic
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I hope so 😉

        2. Tony Warner Fan Club
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Of course I'm kidding.

          I bought a second advent calendar instead.

    2. Black Knights

      Nice! Although nothing ever happens on day one.

    3. Screaming Midget

      When you using it? In time for GW23?

      1. Tony Warner Fan Club
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hopefully as late as possible but I succumb to the temptation too quickly.

    I am starting to consider the xmas schedule and its rotation risk and I was wondering. Is Ivanovic threatened by any rotation risk actually? Azpi can be rotated to Felipe Luiz but who could actually replace Ivanovic in the chelsea squad?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi

      Becaue Azpi is primarily a right back. And Luiz will play left back if this happens.

      1. rnrd001
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        interesting, thanks
        So you consider Azpi more nailed than Ivanovic then?

  30. SpaceCadet

    im leading in my ML so played it safe and did kun to costa.....now need a 'safe' replacement for chambers........zaba or big mert??
