Monitor – Alexis Sanchez

With a single goal in his last six league appearances, Alexis Sanchez’s debut season in the Premier League seems in danger of grinding to a halt. After serving up 12 strikes and seven assists in the opening 21 Gameweeks, the Chilean’s displays made him a must-have for Fantasy managers but, in spite of Arsenal’s late surge up the table, his recent output has been minimal.

There’s no disputing the fact that Sanchez’ downturn has coincided with the return to action of Mesut Ozil. The German has started each of the last seven Gameweeks and managed two goals and five assists over that period, whilst Olivier Giroud has developed a source of consistency which has harvested six strikes and a trio of assists in his previous eight outings.

Despite his price of 11.4 in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, Sanchez is still the third most popular midfielder – only Eden Hazard and Raheem Sterling currently sit in more sides. With some of his 30% ownership starting to scour the market for alternatives, we delve into the data to asses his displays over the two time frames in order to ascertain just what has gone wrong.

      You actually ended up selling Kun after all? If so, I'm really proud of you.

      Looking good, even more so if you've got the money in the bank to upgrade Tekkers after the DGW

      1. Not Irish
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        3.1m to be exact.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          So you'll need two transfers to bring in Rooney or Costa - I should sneak back above you in the DZ league then in a weak or two 😉

          1. Not Irish
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Meh. Have to downgrade a mid next week anyway.

      Evening, Scab.

      1. Scab
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Like the tekkers move, seriously considering it myself. Would only lose 0.3 bringing aguero back in if needed

        1. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, honestly seems obvious to me. Tekkers in form. Good short term fixtures and a DGW. Why not.

          1. Gloria Kanchelskis
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

              Will be gone for Rooney come blank time.

                reckon rooney will keep playing up front?

        as a non owner of silva, not much to dump.

  4. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Foster and Santi to...

    A. Forster and Siggy (double up Saints defence)
    B. Courtoius and Siggy (double up Chelsea defence)

    Have no other pressing needs currently, so these would 'luxury' moves...
    Cazorla (as my fifth midfielder... yes, fifth) will have a blank on gw 33, and Siggy has great fixtures upcoming - raising money to bank, to give more flexibility.

    In B, cannot get Costa, which might cause problems....?

    Thanks!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      I wont get Courtois anyway. So A

  5. La Roja

    So tempted with Kun out and Costa in for FT

    Kun looks shocking lately and Wbrom will park the bus.

    Hull City however, free toll gate at the back

            ...these bloody stats....check what happens if you look at NEW big chances conceded in last 6....but filter it to only show "at home"...in other words 3 games...

            😕

            • 14 Years

            Think again.

      3. La Roja
        • 12 Years

        Their opponents were crap though

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          City was one of them.

    2. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hull City haven't been all that bad defensively lately. Only thing that stops me from putting the captaincy on Haz and forgetting about it

    3. Holmes

    4. Moin

      Kun --> Tekkers --> Costa..........do this

      1. Not Irish
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He can't do this out of principle.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yes I wont, absolutely no way I will go for Tekkers vs Swans, maybe just maybe for the DGW.

          You getting carried away with Villa and Benteke. They played vs Sunderland ffs

          1. Not Irish
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Goal and an assist versus WBrom the week before.

          2. Moin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

            true

          3. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            I bet you will go Benteke(c) in the DGW.

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Meh, better options

              1. Christina.
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                okey dokey

          4. RubeRx
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            I agree. That was a 1-off. 4/19 total goals is ~21% of Villa's output this season. Not even tempted by him for the double tbh. Swansea will likely shut them out this wknd.

            The only Kun transfer/replacement I would consider is Kun ➡ Costa
            assuming you already own Kane+Gru.

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Yep! I probably will pull the trigger on that.

    5. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You reckon? Only 4 goals conceded in last 6. Mind you the opponents were crap.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly, I don't understand why people judging their defense based on that.

        Plus no Huddlestone in midfield

    6. kalmoffit

      West Brom bus still looking a little shabby

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years

        4 cs out of last 5

        shabby eh?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Now check their last 5 opponents 😉

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            well played

            you're a winner

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              I'm neither wrong nor right, but that reason isnt good enough to do Kun---> Costa 🙂

              1. La Roja
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                lets not be too modest here

                You nailed in and I am ashamed of myself 😆

  6. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone thinking a rested Hazard is a good shout for CPT this GW? Gone off Kun and reckon he'll be shattered for the early KO on Sat.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      As good as other options

  7. Eze Really?
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    AVL QPR DGW 31. Only Austin and Benteke worth it? Abonghalor for a punt but will have to discard Kane.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Agbonlahor worth a punt if you want to go for 4-4-2/3-5-2

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Explain?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          He is cheap enough to bench and potentially have a chance of providing more than 5.2m midfielder. So play in DGW and then you can shift him to bench. Will give cash for better 4th defender/5th midfielder 🙂

          1. Eze Really?
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Ok I understand. What is your view on Giroud, Kane and Costa/Kun for the run in?
            I think Kane has shown points all year and discarding him might hurt foe Abonghalor. No matter what mid one can get.

      If it's big chances conceded, then don't forget to filter it to "at home only".

      1. La Roja

        It doesnt make any difference imo, especially with those injuries and suspensions Newcastle have

    Gday from down under

    Punchy>Mane looking good or is there a better option?

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Looks solid to me. Siggy the other alternative.

    2. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      As good as it gets, unless you prefer Siggy

    Hello.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yo

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is it tea you're looking for?

  12. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Best of this bunch given I have a WC in hand?

    A) Foster -> Guzan (benching Myhill)
    B) Santi -> Mane
    C) Save

    If doing C) then i'd be looking at Santi & Ayoze -> Siggy & Austin (for free) next week (0.1m short of Mane& Austin)

    Myhill
    Terry, Berty, Bellerin
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Eriksen, Santi
    Aguero, Kane

    Foster, Haidara, PVA, Ayoze
    Bank 0.1m, 1FT, 1WC

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Still A

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Tough call I think. Keeper transfers always feel a bit meh. Plus there's the issue in GW33 if Foster is back by then.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Guzan has DGW though. And you would use your WC by GW 33? Or afterwards?

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Most likely use it for GW34, so with Guzan having a blank in GW33 I'd have no keeper if Foster is back (very possible).

            The fact Myhill has a decent fixture in the GW31 DGW makes me think Guzan is not worth using a transfer on.

    2. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I would do Santi to Mane, myself.

  13. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    No one thinking Mane(c) is a good option this week?

    1. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Having Mane is much of a differential, IMO.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Everyone is bringing in Mane..not much of a differential now

        1. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No need to cap him

    3. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years

      'Tis the week for a differential captain.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Aggy(c) differential this week, especially after last night.

        Hatty incoming.

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Good choice.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        thinking of going for it

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Just go for it. 😎

    2. Saniul

      I am considering Agbonlahor, meself.

      1. Not Irish
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Go for the big guy instead.

        1. Saniul
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Wish I had the cash.

        1. Saniul

          9 years, 3 months ago

          Austin, probably.

          1. Eze Really?
            • 10 Years

            he has DGW31

    3. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wishful thinking.
      I admire the gamble especially for GW31 but don't expect 13 or 12 pt returns this week. 6-8 points more likely.

      1. Not Irish
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Which would be fine with me.

    3 home games in the next 5 with an away game at Palace and the derby and there's talk of selling City assets.

    I have seen it all.

            All good Tina.

            Just a bit busier these days with work. On my day off today though as India is playing the QF now. 🙂

            FPL has been tough. Slipped down the rankings in the last few weeks. Hope the dgws help me claw back some ground.

            How are things at your end?

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Can't complain. Yeah, FPL has been a mare since Jan WC. Can't see myself clawing anything back.

              At least I had a good run in the LAWR FA cup. Made the last 8 with Sporting and Berbilly. Pity the competition was rigged. Ginkapo just not m̶o̶n̶k̶e̶y̶ enough to run a competition of such magnitude without Doos.

              1. pundit of punts

  17. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Narrowed down the options to these 2 - whatcha reckon?

    (A)
    GW30: Save
    GW31: Santi & Ayoze -> Siggy & Austin

    (B)
    GW30: Santi -> Mane
    GW31: Ayoze & Aguero -> Costa & Benteke (4 points)

    Myhill
    Terry, Berty, Bellerin
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Eriksen, Santi
    Aguero, Kane

    Foster, Haidara, PVA, Ayoze
    Bank 0.1m, 1FT, 1WC

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why not Mane & Austin in for Santi/Ayo? Cash?

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, 0.1m light unforts

      2. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'm warming towards B if I'm honest - don't have much cash tied up in Aggy and I fancy Costa to outscore him over GW 31-33 (i.e. before I WC). No major benching headaches that route either.

  18. Not Irish
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Alright then. Transfers done. Triumphantly I lay down in my bed.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why did you make an early transfer you vampire?

      1. Not Irish
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Because I got the feeling. That's why.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          That's a vampire and hasty move. You can't have put that feeling on hold until Friday.

          1. Not Irish
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            I have Silva on the bench, FFS. What the worst that can happen? A vampire is never hasty.

      A lurker is a member?

      1. La Roja

          So how do you define the paid members?

            Those with a badge like yours?

            those who make full use of the website

              9 years, 3 months ago

              are they?

              +90% of the members only use the members area to decide who to captain when all they options score the previous week, the rest is hundreds or maybe thousands of pages of words about which of the last weeks scorers(FPL pts.) to buy next.

                9 years, 3 months ago

                how can you prove the figure of +90%...I think many of us use comparison tools, stats table, and Avg. Position Map to decide on a player

                1. mookie
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 3 months ago

                  maybe they do until they find the stat that makes last week point scorer the obvious option.

                  Sakho has most SiB in last 4(fwds.)
                  Siggy has most goal attempts in last 4(mids.)
                  Sanchez most SiB last 4(being sold cause he didn't score)

                  ^not a lot of talk about these ones.

                    true

                    9 years, 3 months ago

                    I quite often use the stats to work out who not to buy because they scored this week.

          Quite a few. The lurkers would be more of a surprise. The traffic on the site has gone up rapidly recently.

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Interesting

            Mat not be appropriate question but how does this website sustain itself financially? I would imagine advertisement?

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Apart from paid members obviously

              • 15 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Ads and members fees seem the main sources of income.

                • 12 Years

                Thought so, was just curious, cheers.

    5. Ziro Becomes One
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      And when was this site started?

      Percentage of FPL 1k rankers who are members?

      😆 Mods don't worry, not thinking of a rival site, just want to ascertain the amount of risk i should take against the herd during the season.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Minimum 08/09
        Someone can look at the table for top 1K.

        1. Ziro Becomes One
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Which table?
          Members only?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years

            Depends if you are talking paid or either type.

            1. Ziro Becomes One
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              I wanted to know of the percentage of registered members of this site who finish in the top 1k for the season.

              And I want to know the average percentage across all the seasons that the site has been active for.

              😆

    Looks like a different bunch are online now.

    RMT for the weekend

    Pants
    Terry - Clyne - Alder
    Haz - Mane - Eriksen - Sanchez
    Giroud - Kane (c) - Aguero (vc)

    My transfers were PVA > Alder and Caz > Mane if anyone was interested

    1. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No Siva. Brave but a fair call.

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      looks good to me, although i fancy Siggy over Mane

    3. Diva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good.

  24. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Foster - Panti are my GKs

    Foster ➡

    A. Forster (5.6)
    B. Fabianski (5.2)
    C. Begovic (4.8) - rotates nicely with Panti

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on your defenders and whether you want to double up...

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, I do have Clyne. No SWA nor STK though.

        Is doubling a better here rather than spreading the risk and chances ?

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          spreading is better..I think if you don't have SWA you can go for Fabianski...you can also look at Adrian for good fixtures..but for 0.1 less you can get Jenkinson as well...

    2. Diva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I have the same keepers. I hadn't considered Begovic as a replacement, but he does look an option. Home against a Southampton team that are not exactly banging the goals in looks quite good for GW33.

  25. Gideons Rolling Another One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    On Monday I posted the question below. The general consensus was B.

    Has opinion changed after two CL games?

    A: Aguero and Costa
    B: Aguero and Sanchez
    C: Costa and Sanchez

    Which pair would you choose? I'm pretty tempted to go C.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I said C and still C

      1. Gideons Rolling Another One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yes I remember. And I said C and still say C too!

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          No I said C and still saying C

          1. Gideons Rolling Another One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Ok Good. Are you going to do it though?

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I like A

    3. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A

    4. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A

    5. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

      I think I have to say B because to avoid a one match ban Costa still has to navigate 3 more games without picking up two more bookings.

    7. Gideons Rolling Another One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      General consensus appears to have switched to A. Interesting.

  26. Diva

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hello DZ, I have a headache because Foster was my GW33 keeper. He might be back by then, but "at least 4 weeks" doesn't sound hopeful so I'd appreciate your thoughts please.

    (Advocaat willing) I have Pantilimon to cover the next Gameweeks 30-32, so do I:

    A. Max DGW31 & cover GW33: Foster -> Guzan -> Schwarter/Heaton/Myhill(Foster)/Speroni -> WC GW34
    B. Max DGW31 and miss GW33: Foster -> Guzan -> WC GW34
    C. Cover GW33 only: Foster -> Schwarter/Heaton/Speroni -> WC GW34
    D. Do nothing, hope Foster's back GW33 and then WC GW34
    E. Something else (if so, any suggestions?)

    Other relevant details: 1FT, 0.5 ITB, Puncheon and Wollscheid also injured, and Sanchez, Eriksen and Aguero not doing much. Thanks!

      Anyone?

        9 years, 3 months ago

        GK transfers are annoying. The fact you are thinking about getting rid of big hitters means GKs are less important. Pants only for me and probably won't bother with another GK.

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks for the thoughts TM. Slightly nervous in case Advocaat decides to switch keepers, but if Panti stays hopefully we won't see too many more drubbings for Sunderland.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Foster to Schwarzer/Myhill/Heaton but thats for GW33. I would stick with Pantilimon.

      1. Diva
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks! It may effectively only be a -2 hit to bring a keeper in GW33 if I have other matters to address with my FT that week.

  27. Angin out the Begović

    Can anyone give me a decent predicted line up for Arsenal back 4 against newcastle ?

    Bellerin, Kosc , Mert , (Gibbs or Monreal) ?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Chambers // Kosc // Mert // Monreal

        • 12 Years

        Bellerin Kos mert gibbs

      slight rotation/early sub risk?...giroud is a player who tires easily and doesnt perform well when hes tired....will be 270 mins in 8 days if he plays the full 90....cant see it myself....prob start due to excellent form but early sub

          yh but watching him he only plays well when fresh and gets tired quickly....wenger knows this and always manages his minutes.....hel start but if arsenal comfortable i reckon hel b withdrawn....ofc could still get haul in that time but i try not to captain players i feel are early sub risk
