After scoring 16 goals and providing eight assists in his maiden campaign in the Premier League, hopes were high for Alexis Sanchez coming into the new season, despite concerns over the Chilean’s fitness levels after his exploits for his country in this summer’s Copa America.

With just a single assist to show from the first four Gameweeks, though, many of Sanchez’ 12% ownership in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) will soon start questioning whether the Arsenal attacker is worth his considerable 11.0 price tag. In this ‘Monitor’ article for members, we compare the former Barcelona man’s underlying statistics from last season to this in order to ascertain just why he is failing to live up to his 2014/15 exploits.

    This series of articles is one of the many reasons why you should get membership to this site!

    Definitely worth it 😀

          You won't, you know. A member will win it. 😛 😉

            The prize is ironical as those who are members would become members anyway and it is the members who will win it......but still "Expect the Unexpected" and I might just bowl a DOOSRA !!! 😀 😀 😀

    Let me follow this question up with another question... who will keep more cleanies this season, Soton or Spurs?

    1. Jazz!
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Another close one.

      Southampton I think, van Dijk and Bertrand back will only improve their defence

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Southampton. Spurs defence is on the 'never again' list, right up there with Lukaku.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I couldn't agree more on the Spurs defence point.

    3. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Just forget the Spurs defence.

    4. Fanta sea
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say that this is more similar since the tactics are very similar between the two teams. I'd say spurs at the end of the day because they have more experience playing together. Soton changed 2 of the back 4 and their goalkeeper is also out. Spurs have only changed one of the back four and still have their same keeper from last year. Also with mason and the extra protection from dier in front of them, it would be hard to see how they can concede many goals. They just won't score as much.

  4. lasmons
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Exactly how urgent is it to have a City defender atm?

    I`ve got Clyne - Cedric - Azpi - Huth - O`shea

    Worth doing Azpi -> Kolarov? Or just save?

    1. Jazz!
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Do it.

      1. ASAP Rocky
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Seems smart to me.

    2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Look at their fixtures...

      1. lasmons
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Then it will be done! Thanks!

    3. RustyBz
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not urgent if you have 3 City attackers/midfielders 😀

      1. lasmons
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Got Kun + Yaya. Was thinking of doing Hazard -> Silva, but Azpi -> Kolarov feels like a better deal. Still believe in Hazard finding his form.

        1. RustyBz
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah do Azpi-> Kolarov. I would do the same but already own Sterling, Silva & Kun.

  5. Beautiful Game

    Diouf out for how many weeks?

    1. Dynamic Duos

      It's hasn't been confirmed he is out.

      Left my crystal ball at work, sorry.

  6. Frank Black
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So United's offer for Muller was actually real, 80M euros, wow. Basically they went from wanting to spend 80M for Muller to spending 50M + a lot of insane bonuses for Martial.

    1. RustyBz

      Them United cats cray.

    3. internal error

      they also went from bidding £22mil for Martial to £56 inc bonuses within a week

      1. internal error

        *56 mil

          think we got that bit 😉

    4. FISSH

      absolute desperation

    5. Davido989
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Huge risk with potential rewards. Massive panic buy nonetheless

      1. Frank Black
        11 years, 1 month ago

        They could have offered 100M euros for Muller and it would have made much more sense.

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 1 month ago

          they turned down the chance to get Reus for £60mil.

          1. RustyBz
            11 years, 1 month ago

            That's pure speculation

            1. internal error
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 years, 1 month ago

              but speculation that makes sense given what happened with Pedro

              1. RustyBz
                11 years, 1 month ago

                That doesn't make sense to me 🙁

              2. Frank Black
                11 years, 1 month ago

                No it doesn't make sense, Zorc confirmed that Reus still has a 35M euros release clause in his contract but he has never asked to be sold.

                  i didn't say it would happen or that Reus would want to go to them. Just that Utd stalled on Pedro even though he is atm a much better player than Martial is and much cheaper

                  1. RustyBz
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    Put it this way, United would have spent £60mil on Reus if that's what it would take. Hands down

                    He's a 10x better investment than Martial

                      but then id say pedro is as well but Utd weren't convinced

                      1. RustyBz
                        11 years, 1 month ago

                        Reus >>>>>>>>>>>>> Pedro

          2. The Light Knight

            Reus did his ankle last weekend so I doubt there's anything to that

      Big money indeed but can we keep to saying £60m instead of inflating numbers by quoting Euros?

      1. Frank Black
        11 years, 1 month ago

        The news that reported this report the amount in euros because, you know, £ is used in the UK only, and plus it wouldn't be £60m since they've only paid £36m for now.

        1. ​
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough, I was referencing £ for the Muller bid but yeah your point still stands.

        2. Somalion
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Not to mention the extras for Martial will be paid only if he becomes one of the best strikers in Europe, and the best player in the world for one season.

  7. ASAP Rocky
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Debating a Spurs or Swans defender...

    Swans have Naughton and Williams. Both seem quite boring to me.

    Spurs have Alderweireld who appears to be a bonus point magnet, the inconsistent Kyle Walker, and the rotation risk Danny Rose.

    I'm leaning toward Toby, what what you do?

    Defense is:

    Kompany - Shaw - Gomez - Oxford - Delaney

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If you think it's close, always go for the not Tottenham one.

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Williams is much more of a bap magnet than Alderweireld, and should be better for clean sheets.

    3. Hooky
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Toby hardly ever gets any baps. Only 4 last season and not been close this year yet.

    4. Return Of Chamakh
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Why set on Spurs defender in particular? Spurs defence isn't exactly going to get you many points.

      i'd say Williams or Naughton both good picks, I particularly like Williams for consistency of points (nice amount of bonus too)

    5. Fanta sea
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Even though Spurs will keep more clean sheets this season than swansea in my opinion, I think you should go for Williams for now because of their upcoming fixtures for the swans and the high morale within the team.

  8. ASAP Rocky
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Final question, more cleanies this season...Swans or Soton?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Now that is a close one. I have one of each because I think they are both good options. I will say Swans as they are the more settled defence.

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Swansea, I also think they will be more likely to concede 2 or more when they concede though.

    3. RustyBz
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Swansea look like a very very solid team this season.

      The loss of Morgan will affect Southampton's cleansheets, so Swansea.

    4. Dr Dream
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Toss a coin.

    5. Fanta sea
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to know but if I were to take a guess I'd go for Southampton purely based on the Wanyama protection for the back 4

  9. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 1 month ago

    5.4 in the bank. I wonder if I should spend some before the next GW. It would take a hit though.

    1. RustyBz
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it.

    2. Fanta sea
      11 years, 1 month ago

      depends on your team. Maybe you can post it and I'll tell you what I'd do.

  10. ASAP Rocky

    Thanks Chesseoid and Nuttman.

    1. The Nuttmxn

      No problem, am always here to help, don't let any other posters tell you otherwise.

    2. RustyBz

      I'll just go play with traffic

    3. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No probs. My advice comes with a no return policy though.

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Mine does as well now after a poster got angry at me for convincing them not get Lukaku in his GW1 side.

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 1 month ago

          You can only give advice upon the information you have available. If people want advice they have to accept you do not have a crystal ball.

            Totally agree.

    Think I have decided to captain Alexis over Aguero this week 😯

    1. RustyBz
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero has a Tuesday game vs Juventus. There's every chance he will come off around the hour mark!

      Mahrez(C)

      1. Davido989

        Are city away or home?

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐

          away to Palace

          1. Davido989
            11 years, 1 month ago

            For the Juve game

        2. RustyBz
          11 years, 1 month ago

          At home v Juve I think. If that's what you meant!

          1. Davido989
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I'll have Aguero captain then

            1. RustyBz
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Why does that affect your decision? haha

              1. Davido989
                11 years, 1 month ago

                No european travel = less likely to be subbed vs Palace

                1. Cheeseoid
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  True but he will have a few miles under his belt from before.

                2. RustyBz
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Travel? What, to Italy? Hardly straining haha.

                  He'll probably get subbed off around 60/70mins vs Palace if things are going well, which they probably will be.

                  The H/W problem is not a problem

                  1. RustyBz

      What logic do you have behind this decision Bubz???

      1. Bubz
        11 years, 1 month ago

        His underlying stats are better, playing at home, Stoke's form and defensive stats are poor.

        1. Heydudes13
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Same, I read this as Kolarov instead of Alexis a moment ago though. 😮

      Tough one. I'd be tempted to bring in Sanchez, don't know who for

      1. Davido989
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Was thinking Mane to Sanchez but the fella scored well last season. Can afford Albrighton to Sanchez also.

        1. Davido989

          Last week**

        2. RustyBz
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I'd be a bit twitchy about not owning Mahrez though. You'll also give yourself a massive benching headache.

          I'd go Mane->Alexis

          1. Davido989
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Albrighton is my 4th mid so he plays for every week.

            Cheers

              11 years, 1 month ago

              Oh yes, my bad I didn't realise that. Do Albrighton then

          i'm not all that convinced by Mane. Great player but Norwich going a man down made it so easy for Southampton last week

          1. Davido989

            Yep

      Chadli to Sanchez

      1. FBorges
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Chadli plays Sunderland this week and hes basically a striker, so i couldnt disagree more...

        1. RustyBz
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Agree with the disagree

          1. Davido989
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Agree with the disagree that disagreed

    3. The Sarjeant
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I would have suggested getting rid of Coates. But he dropped the other day. I managed to ship before the drop!

    4. Fanta sea
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd swap Westwood for Pedro and just collect on the increased value. Build that team value otherwise you won't give yourself the best chance towards the end of the season

  14. FBorges
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Id probably save since Coates already fell and next week you can have a mini wilcard for -4 to improve defense, Albrighton and someone else...

    Players I want to swap out over the next few weeks. Lecott, Sagna, Payet, Mane, Wilson.

    Some of these are down to form and some are down to the end of favourable fixtures &injuries. I wonder how long I can avoid a hit for?

    1. 2 Girls 1 Schlupp

      Why sell Payet & Wilson when they've got favorable fixtures coming??

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I guess Wilson doesn't need to go for a while really as you say. I can't help but feel there is a bit more potential out there for the Payet money.

  17. Dr Dream
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Mmmm...Alexis Sanchez. It doesn't matter what pts he scores he's just a joy to watch. No self respecting FPL team should be without him.

    1. The Sarjeant

      And Agüero too!

      1. Dr Dream

        Aye...Aguero is fine but he doesn't quite have the Joi de Vivre of Alexis.

              Exactly, and who better to read Sanchez's forward runs than Sanchez.

    3. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

      11 years, 1 month ago

      + 42. Plus the cheeky grin. And Cazorla's! 🙂

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah...Caz as well. I'd have them both at my club just for the feel good factor alone.

      2. The Nuttmxn

        + Ozil, that man plays the sexy football.

    How the feck do you pick between Sanchez and Kun for (c)

    fecking nightmare

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If you don't own one it makes it easier.

    2. RustyBz
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Easy: neither.

      Mahrez (C)

    3. Milner4eva
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm picking Kun purely based on the fact that he scored two goals and got three assists against Bolivia the other day.

      1. RustyBz
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Emphasis on BOLIVIA though

        1. Wouter
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Pretty much the PL equivalent of Watford or something

          1. RustyBz
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Not quite!

            1. Wouter

              1. RustyBz

                Bolivia conceided something like 25 in their last 6 😆

      Aguero of course.

    5. Heydudes13

      On Sanch atm.

    6. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine for each of them a page of people spamming that each of them scored, captain which ever one makes you feel more gutted reading having not captained.

  19. Cheeseoid

    If White wine vinegar was unavailable would you rather sub in red wine vinegar or rice wine vinegar?

    1. The Sarjeant
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rice sounds more like white. Go for that one.

    2. The Light Knight
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Just add white wine and vinegar

      1. The Sarjeant
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Or just vinegar, it's easier!

        1. The Light Knight
          11 years, 1 month ago

          ^This, and have a glass of white wine yourself to make it even easier 😉

          1. The Sarjeant
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Haha! 😆

          2. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            If only I had white wine...

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I just use apple cider vinegar for everything as I think it's simply fantastic.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Out of that too. Must go vinegar shopping.

    4. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Red wine vinegar.

      (c) Balsamic vinegar, Sainsbury's Organic 3-leaf, £2.49

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Too late! I went for rice wine. it is a 45 min drive to Sainsburys from where I live. No matter how good the vinegar is that journey is not worth it.

        1. The Nuttmxn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I have walked 45 mins for Apple Cider Vinegar and I'd do it again.

      2. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Bit of a risky Captain choice.

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 1 month ago

          It is the best value vinegar to be had. Anywhere in the UK. 🙂

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Next time I am driving past the store I promise I will drop in and get some.

          2. The Nuttmxn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 1 month ago

            But where is the table to prove it?

    5. Jonny Bananas
      11 years, 1 month ago

      what's the dish? I ruined a recipe the other day doing the exact same thing.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        BBQ pork steaks with smokey corn.

        1. Jonny Bananas
          11 years, 1 month ago

          oof, that sound delicious.

          Yeah I reckon that'll be totally fine mate, smokey corn sounds lovely!

          100% the red and it'll only be a subtle difference as you're cooking the booze out.

    6. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Red, rice is too much of a variation.

    If you haven't already checked it out, here's my new weekly article - Team Form Focus.

    1. megatronaldinho
      11 years, 1 month ago

      i'd change the name, simply cos it looks too much like ford focus

  21. Pariße
    11 years, 1 month ago

    A lot of talk about Alexis vs Aguero (C), my opinion is that it's more risky to go with Sanchez as most will probably be going for Aguero. At the same time Aguero is a forward and Sanchez a midfielder, so if both score one, Sanchez is probably going to get more points.

    1. FISSH
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I honestly think Mahrez is a better option. At home against Villa. Both teams will want to win.

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Will they?

      2. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This.

      3. The Sarjeant
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Don't both teams always want to win?

      4. Pariße
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Although a stupid one, but the ''he's due'' rule is making me choose between Kun and Alexis 🙂

  22. Fanta sea
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What about Gomis as captain this week?

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A good shout.

    2. Eden Hazardous
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not against the Watford Bus surely

      1. Fanta sea
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He scored against united and they didn't concede for 3 games. I have a feeling about this one.

  23. The Light Knight
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Redmond at home to Bournemouth's back up LB looks tasty this week

    1. Eden Hazardous
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Well we all thought Mane would be tasty against Everton's 3rd choice LB and look what that got us here!

  24. Somalion
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I have 2 FTs and no idea where to use them. Assuming all stays as is, Richards out the best call? Or drop one of my front 8 for bench fodder? Opinions welcome, my head is not up for it 🙂

    Kasper Butland

    Shaw Williams Kolarov Richards Prodl

    YYT Alexis Payet Ayew Mahrez

    Sakho Kun Diouf

    1. The Light Knight
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Having 2 from Wham! is a little excessive, not sure who to suggest though

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 1 month ago

        If I were to sell one it'd be a cheap bench player to avoid benching headaches.

    2. Heydudes13
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm wondering about Richards > Francis this week too with one of my 2FTs.

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Aye, that's my main thought.

      2. Heydudes13
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Super team though. 🙂

        1. Somalion
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Managed to bench the wrong player from that front 8 two weeks on the trot 😀 But thank you 🙂 I reckon Richards to Francis is a goer!

    3. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Richards to Francis, 100%.

      Unless you are willing to do Diouf to Gomis ...

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 1 month ago

        0.1 off the Diouf to Gomis moves, in some ways I don't mind because if Diouf is flagged with a bad hammy it means I don't need to worry about the bench this week 🙂

        Think I'll go Richards to Francis, thank you kindly!

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 1 month ago

          No worries. 🙂

    4. Jebiga
      11 years, 1 month ago

      sakho and diouf for wilson and gomis/benteke ?

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 1 month ago

        A possibility I hadn't considered at all. Will mull that one over 🙂

        1. Jebiga
          11 years, 1 month ago

          😉

    5. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 1 month ago

      late transfer for Diouf who with a hammy injury is likely to miss the weekend game

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking of just plopping him on the bench IE, I could play 352 no problem (and probably would bench Diouf this week out of the lot of them anyway).

  25. Dr Dream

    Being as Alexis and Aguero is a hot topic...I'll just leave this here

        I went for the top one on that first table with the top one of the second table.....#playingthegame

  26. Jebiga

    last night i dumped coates before fall, and got muniesa. think that better pick was watfortd or bournmouth defender...

    1. Eden Hazardous
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If I were you , I would have chosen Francis

  27. Eden Hazardous
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Saido Berahino? Is he a bargain at 6.3m considering WBA's fixtures (from an attacking perspective)? Will he start ?

    1. Jebiga
      11 years, 1 month ago

      when he start, he will be nice pick

    2. Dr Dream
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Dunno. Seems like trouble brewing between the board, Berahino and now the manager.Dunno what to make of it all.

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Simples. WBA are fecked.

    I'm guessing no one has seen the Diouf injured tweet yet?

      Was on the previous page

    2. Valar(Keith)
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Now that i have your attention.. would you do Hazard to Pedro for free if it freed up cash for Chadli to Sterling next week(only 2 city players atm.. kolarov and aguero)

      1. Fanta sea
        11 years, 1 month ago

        yes hazard to pedro is the smart move at the moment. If chelsea do well, you can bet that it'll come through pedro instead of hazard at the moment

  29. Heydudes13
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What's happened with Diouf?

    1. Wouter
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hammy injury apparently in the Senegal game.

    2. Eden Hazardous
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He has the COSTA 😀
