Our next members article of the week takes a closer look at goal threat from the back. We focus on Fantasy Premier League defenders priced at 5.0 or below as we delve into the Opta data in an attempt to seek out value in our five-man backlines.

A lot of differenitals, this could be either full win or total debacle. The bad thing is I won't have WC to fix it if debacle happens.
I like it
Thanks. 🙂
No worries mate
I like it. Collins a bit too short term for me, but otherwise nice,.
Thank you. 🙂 Yeah, he is concerning me also. Could get Mee, Adam Smith or Friend instead of him.
Nice. Don't like Zaza with Defoe, Benteke & Bony around. Not a fan of Bolasie either, rest looks good!
Couldn't afford the team with any of those 3. 😀 Also, if I downgrade Nolito to 5.5 mid when Kun is back, I can switch to one of those if they are in form.
Bolasie doesn't give me some confidence, but I need their attacking cover also, so let's try with this.
Thank you. 🙂
Jakupović, I wouldn't go there if I wasn't 100% sure he's nailed. Very nice otherwise.
Will monitor that situation. Could get Pickford then. Thanks.
An indicator of a good team is wondering how you fit all those players in 🙂
Had to sacrifice Valencia, but United's fixtures aren't so great. 😀
Indeed. Your decision made me realize that too.
Pieters may be dropping tonight so get rid and get back
Thanks!
Asked earlier but only got 1 reply?
How confident are you that Giroud starts this weekend?
50%
Wouldn't risk with him
85% for me
Started for France and scored
If he start again Im sure he will start for Ars too
Wenger loves him and always played him when he was fit
Also they are playing South with Fonte and VVD..he will be needed to defend set pieces tooSo actually 95%
I reckon he will
Hmm too much of a gamble I think
100%
Reasonably
lets see what he gets in Belarus
100% - he needs games now. Sanchez will be flying back from Chile but will probably start but on the wing
99% he will start.
Is the Sterling bandwagon justified? Wouldn't be too surprised seing him rotated with CL games coming up, even though he seems to be more nailed than players like Nolito.
I do think Firmino/Mane are superior to him, but Sterling play in a way better team. Can't decide.
Still lacks end product imo
Only time will tell. I think he'll get rotated in the future, at the minute he seems nailed though
Rotation is making me avoid all midfielders. Stones and Aguero only for me. Plus it is still Sterling. Nolito better IMO but more rotation I think
Yes. Great player getting greater. Goals will come.
its tough as City look full of points but who will get them or even the mins on the field bar Kun?
City will score sh!tloads of goals. Sterling will be involved in several of them. Seems like good value.
Please RMWCT
Foster / Pickford
Baines / Valencia / McAuley / (5.0) / Amat
Sanchez / Hazard / Antonio / Lamela / Capoue
Ibra / Benteke / Defoe
Leaves 0.9 ITB and will change Foster to Heaton and McAuley to Evans once they rise so im not doubling up and can cash in 0.2. 5.0 Def will be Masuaku / PVA / Ward
Lack of City attack is maybe an oversight?
Trying to get Sanchez into mine but had to settle for Carzola for Arsenal coverThanks, Kun only City attacker I want
Very nice except for Defoe, but that's more because of my a personal resistance from him. I can't get past the fact he's a player that's already ended up in the US as a forgotten man and returned to be a Sunderland player 🙂
Right, last one.
Would you do Jagielka & Redmond -------> Coleman & Snodgrass in a draft league?
TaDefinitely
Yep
Seriously intent on playing my All-Out Attack Chip this GW.
DDG
Walker - Collins
Sanchez(C) - Hazard(vc) - Lamela - Coutinho - Barkley
Defoe - Costa - Negredo
Foster - Valencia - Kingley - Amat
Only things I'm questioning...
Keeper choice right?
Collins a better choice than Valencia or not?
I'd personally play Foster but it seems like it could be one of them games where DDG ends up with 15 saves from Sterling shooting straight at him
Best midfield for next few gameweeks?
A. Ozil
B. Sanchez
C. Antonio (He will play as winger)
D. Payet
E. Sterling
F. Nolito
G. Kevin De BruyneD
E
BCF
I assume you meant pick 3?
Sanchez great captain choice and you can afford him over Ozil...
if you pick Antonio over Payet who I think might need some game time, Antonio has shown form already.
Nolito is who I think will play false 9 if Pep decides to.
ABE Hazard, Mane
Which of those would you drop for Antonio, Woy?
Sterling 🙂
haha you can tell I'm really struggling with this...
if Sterling proves his worth then he's much easier to get in than either Mane or Ozil would be.
BAD
B

More potential points over the next 3 game weeks
A Costa, Sanchez (better def)
B Ibra, OzilTough for me as I have all except Sanchez. Probably B for me over 3 GW
A

This one is down to fixtures imo. I think B.
...which is contradictory...idk
I'm set.
Foster
Masuaka Shaw Baines
Antonio(C) Ozil Sterling Hazard(VC)
Benteke Ibra Lukaku
Pickford Capoue Pieters Amat
Don't think there will be a better week all year to have a punt on captain, so Antonio it is.
Antonio (C)? You're gonna regret this. Make Hazard or Sterling.
Sterling isn't even on my radar for captain this week.
May change to Hazard but like I said if you're ever going to have a punt this is the week to do it.
Change Antonio from Captain
Santi cazorla is being massively overlooked on here imo, 19 pts in 3 games!
At 7.5m
On pens
Probably because he's short
True
Will not be as prolific with Alexis, Ozil and Giroud coming back into the fray.
he still is on pens and set pieces.
Any news on gray?? I haven't done anything with team yet and I'm a kun owner. Fact is I don't what to do.
He is fecking FA about and will probably get a longer ban. Could make this GW or not. Nothing confirmed yet.
is it a good idea to go ozil and sanchez or use money for another good attacking option?
Jeepers double up already? 2 weeks ago nobody had any Arsenal attackers!!
They were all being rested. Looks good as all Arsenal players are back now, with a very favourable run of games, plus the additions of Perez and Mustafi in the xfer window.
I am so tempted to do this, but I have no idea how to do it without having to sacrifice Hazard whilst keeping a solid front line.
if i do go ahead and do it .. i will probably end up playing 3 5 2
but also at the same time it be a great differential
I would only get one. Toss up based on your strategy. [thanks mods for deleting my trilogy of posting errors]
this is my two options
team 1
pickford Foster
williams valencia mcauley amat smith
sterling antonio sanchez hazard capoue
ibra lukaku defoe
Team 2
pickford foster
wiliams valencia mcauley amat smith
ozil sanchez (7.8) hazard capoue
lukaku ibra stuani
which is better?
and what options for midfield player for 7.8 for team 2?I like team 1. Maybe others will opine as well. Good luck.
Oh, go to gravatar for a grav, and become a member!
Would you wildcard with this team:
Courtios 4.0
Stones Valencia Morgan friend b.smith
Hazard Firmino Deulofeu Redmond Fletcher
Aguero Ibra Gray
0 in bank
Thinking Aguero & Deulofeu to Lukaku & Ozil or Payet for a -4. Or I could rip the whole thing up??
puncheon or snodgrass? thinking punch for the short term and transferring to snoddy once his fixtures improve
Snoddy for me. Set pieces are a huge part of Hulls game and he hogs them. Delivery is awesome too
Can't argue with that
Snoddy
At this point do you not think you'd get more joy from a 5.5 defender? Puncheon for me otherwise, simply due to fix.
JohnRoss Most important gadget I've ever bought, possibly would have it ahead of an iPhone on a desert island (with leccy). Oral B 2500 and get some Oral B satin tape to floss as well. Go and see a dental hygenist once every six months. Avoid mouthwash in most cases, particularly Cordosyl as it will stain your teeth. Use Colgate red packaging 3x whiter toothpaste.
but would you C Hazard or Sanchez?
Been on Sanchez all week but could easily slide to Hazard by the deadline.
hazard to dazzle the molars
His oscillating is incredible.
I'm torn between bringing in Williams and Coleman?
Think Seamus could thrive. I'll prob end up going Leighton like everyone else.
Baines on pens is hard to ignore but I just like picking Coleman... He knows where the net is. And his name rhymes with Goal man. What's not to like ??
Williams by miles. Loves his baps
Is Alexis worth a hit this week?
Assuming Gray can play this weekend and I get one of Costa, Benteke, or Lukaku in for Aguero...
Is it worth getting rid of Lamela or Redmond for a (-4) ?I think many scouts are taking a hit for a substitute stud attacker in lieu of Aguero. Depends on how aggressive you play the game...
Would appreciate some feedback on this WC team please;
Foster Pickford
Amat Valencia McAuley Masuaku Baines
Sanchez Haz Antonio Sterling Capoue
Benteke Defoe Ibra
0.3m ITB
Seamus or Leighton?
The one on pens/some set pieces
God i hope he doesn't give up his pens
Baines
price taking pens is magical
Which defenders will outscore shawcross
baines
Lots
Lots. Not even considering any stoke. The new defensive non "wrestling" refereeing is making them look Very average defensively.
Do we think that the West Ham attack will be up to last season's quality with Payet and Lanzini coming back? Considering taking a punt on one of those two.
rotation team imo
The rotation is what is putting me off Antonio. Of course Payet will be nailed when fit, and from I know, Lanzini should be nailed. IIRC many West Ham fans attribute their poor start to the lack of these two. The only problem is, there are too many mids catching my eye, and I can't fit them all in!
i dont like the idea of punting at this stage
fwiw i cant see bilic dropping antonio (both lanz and payet coming back from inj)I guess that's where we differ 🙂 Personally, if it goes wrong now, I have 35 or so weeks to play catch up.
The injuries is a big thing putting me off Payet. Think he will go back to scoring big, but don't know if it'll be immediate. But the fixtures are good. I might leave him out for now and give him this week to assess.
Anyone considering Kane as an Aguero replacement?
Terrible form yes, but nice fixtures and Dembele is back.
If it fails Aguero back in in two weeks is an easy option.back after the next game*.
Considering him. Dembele back soon and didn't look too convincing in the midfield, hopefully meaning Poch plays him up top.
It is worth a shot. No one striker is an obvious replacement. They all could do well. Kane is pricier, so all things being equal, I'd get a cheaper replacement. I do agree that Dembele makes a difference. He controls the game for the Spurs, retains possession and build up their play. Moooooooosah Dembeeeleeeee...
A) Valencia + Williams
B) Baines + Van Aanholt
A
Tough. But A
I've got Valencia PVA atm...
Any of the top teams spending 9.5m or more on their keepers?
I currently have Heaton and foster but have already been burnt leaving 10pts on the bench twice from away CS. Considering Cech + 4.0 so I don't have to keep switching.
Thoughts on spending the extra 0.5-1.0m here??Spending 8.5. Pick / Jaku and Foster ss No.1
Shakhtar! Run me through your team again.
I`m really considering it.
Cech loves bonus points
GK Cech/Pickford
DEF Stones, Peiters, Bailly (or valencia), Williams, Evans
MID Hazard, Ozil, Sterling,Capoue, Feghouli (Or Januzai)
FWD Ibra, Costa, Benteke.
May well go Lukaku over Costa and getting Sanchez instead of OzilI'm doing a 8.5 with Heaton/Pickford. I'm happy enough racking in save points and the occasional cs and bps. Burnley have shown glimpses of defensive organization against Liverpool, and if he gets 2 save points every game, I'll be happy.
I can't see myself spending much money on keepers when there are so many tempting big hitters.
Cech is the only big keeper I wouldn't say no to if you fancy Arsenal defence. Cheapest option in and not a bad choice.Cheers all!
Since I'm likely to keep Evans I may trade out Foster to not double up on WBA (on a wc)
We're probably talking 20-30 points between Heaton and the 5.5 keepers but is it worth spending 1.0m....
Is now the right time to replace Negrado and if so who with, I have 1.9m in the bank
Downgrade Negredo to bench fodder (4.6 diomode) and use the 4 mil to upgrade 5th mid. Then play 3-5-2.
Don't really want to take a hit
on a wc
pickford/foster
mccauley/pieters/amat/vertonghen/williams
hazard/payet/ozil/sterling/snodgrass
diomande/ibra/lukaku
.2 itb
gonna do payet and lukaku to aguero and capoue once aguero is back
good to go?
Some advice please
a) Aguero -> Kane + Baines
b) Aguero -> Lukaku + Payet
For the next 2 games only. Considering im gonna save my GW5 trf for 2FT on GW6.I'm not wildcarding and have 1ft with Barkley...
I really want Lukaku but not really sure in the double up.. what do you think ?
It's either him or Defoe... Want to make the tranny now so I won't lose cash on kunNo rush, Kun needs another 430,000 net sales ex WC's to fall.
Ah fair enough cheers Nets.. may make a cuppa and ponder on it some more. What you think to the double up ?
I could see Everton scoring a few with those fixtures. Lukaku has good enough stats to say doubling up isn't a bad idea. I'd do it.
Flashback to when Barkley kept assisting Lukaku and a few refused to get them because they were "trolls" and for casuals.
I wouldn't double up.
Yeah it's kind of my thinking too. I mean I wouldn't double up on say Arse or City attack right now so prob eve is a no-no.
I just can't for the life of me decide on a replacement for kun.
I very well may end up with a 'punt' on Hazza Kane
People WC'ing hows your midfield looking?
I'm set on Hazard, Ozil & Puncheon. Other spot looking to be between Lamela / Antonio / Sterling / Firmino / Snoddy... Thoughts?I think I'm set on Sanchez - Hazard - Mane - Sterling - Capoue but I'm tempted by West Ham/Spurs mid and potentially Silva, but I'm scared of rotation when Gundogan and Sane come in.
Sterling - Ozil - Lanzini - Hazard (Capoue)
Depends on your Kun plan I guess?
set on puncheon.. i had him last season. i think he scored 1 goal all season. dont do it to yourself.. no matter what the stats are saying. they are lying#
this is my two options
team 1
pickford Foster
williams valencia mcauley amat smith
sterling antonio sanchez hazard capoue
ibra lukaku defoe
Team 2
pickford foster
wiliams valencia mcauley amat smith
ozil sanchez (7.8) hazard capoue
lukaku ibra stuani
which is better?
and what options for midfield player for 7.8 for team 2?
