The Digest – Gameweek 8

We turn our backs on Gameweek 8 with the regular Digest treatment, checking in on Watford’s Greek wing-back, the blossoming cast of talent within Eddie Howe’s ranks and the mystery surrounding the big investment in a prospering Potter.

The Player

Only last week, we rolled out a Burning Question on the merits of investing in premium priced defensive options at Arsenal and Tottenham as a result of improved returns in north London.

But, seven days later, Watford’s Jose Holebas’ 15-point haul away to Middlesbrough served a timely reminder of the value still available for our five-man defences.

A switch to 5-4-1 allowed Watford to chalk up a first clean sheet of the season as the Greek international netted for the second time this term.

After eight rounds of fixtures, he leads all defenders for goal attempts and shots on target.

Moving onto 31 points – on a par with Spurs pair Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen – Holebas has earned over 44,000 new owners this week and climbed to 4.6 price point in Fantasy Premier League.

While his place on the Suspension Tightrope is frustrating, investing in the Hornets’ defender could continue to reap reward as Walter Mazzarri’s men face up to Swansea City, Hull City, Stoke and West Brom over the next six Gameweeks.

Certainly, his form, coupled with the lack of clean sheets for Arsenal and Spurs, offered food for thought for those planning on heavy defensive investment.

The Team

Bournemouth’s 6-1 home thrashing of Hull City highlighted the confidence levels currently sweeping around the Vitality Stadium.

Following back-to-back home wins over Everton and West Brom, the Cherries third straight victory in front of their own fans served up Fantasy returns right across the pitch.

There’s no doubt that Junior Stanislas was the star performer.

A 21-point haul means he’s racked up three goals and a trio of assists in three matches since being shifted onto the right flank. It’s worth noting, though, that despite converting a penalty, Stanislas remains behind Callum Wilson for spot-kick duties, according to the striker himself.

In defence, Charlie Daniels’ raids down the left brought home a goal and assist, with centre-half Steve Cook also finding the net. Factor in a couple of clean sheets in the last three home matches and that pair are now joint-fifth amongst FPL defenders.

The in-form Callum Wilson strengthened his claim as a cut-price frontman with a goal and assist – he’s now scored in three of the last five Gameweeks.

There are options aplenty on offer amongst Howe’s ever-improving unit right now and while a weekend visit from Tottenham has the potential to disrupt their momentum, the following three fixtures – against Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Stoke – could see them plunder the points again.

The Talking Point

With over 120,000 transfers in already this Gameweek, Joe Allen has become the most unexpected of sought after Fantasy assets.

A summer move to Stoke seems to have transformed the former defensive midfielder. Recently shifted into a central support berth by Mark Hughes, the impish Welshman has netted four times in the last three fixtures and is undisputedly the Potters’ in-form player ahead of a very favourable schedule.

At such a budget price point, Allen’s position in our squads is a tricky one.

As we’ve seen already this season with Etienne Capoue, there’s almost a reluctance to start our cut-priced midfielders, as if, regardless of form, they should be no more than back-up options off the bench.

Furthermore, can we really rely on a player who has never scored more than four times in a single season?

Certainly, Allen’s current conversion rate of 40% looks unsustainable and the player even acknowledges his own surprise at his tally so far.

As discussed in last night’s ScoutCast, Allen’s current role as a Fantasy asset is troubling.

Does he really have the staying power to provide a valid fourth midfielder option? Given the current landscape, with the likes of Adam Lallana and Theo Walcott offering extreme value in the sub-8.0 bracket, that seems a questionable strategy.

Equally, if a shift to 3-5-2 is behind Allen’s popularity, you have to question whether that’s a wise move given the apparent value offered by the aforementioned Callum Wilson and Southampton’s Charlie Austin as third strikers.

We’ve already seen a move to invest big funds in our defences questioned by Holebas’ returns – making it all the more puzzling as to why active FPL managers are so quick to swoop for Allen.

Perhaps the Welshman is being seen purely as a money-maker; a means of generating 0.1 or more following the stagnation of Capoue.

    How long before Pep realise he cannot just win the league with attack alone?
    The defence is a shambles, with the obsession of passing the ball out is starting
    to look rather silly. Bravo takes it to a ridiculous extreme.
    They look a much less complete team than Arsenal or Tottenham, and hopefully the
    wheels are starting to fall off the wagon

      That's my hope too.

      Guardiola is just as arrogant as Mourinho in my opinion. He just expresses it in a softer voice. 😕

        Arrogance is essential in their line of work though, you need to believe you're the best and you know best. Otherwise you drown in a sea of a thousand different voices.

          Well.. is Klopp arrogant?

        Yep guess you have to be when you are at the top.

      city will be fine and will probably win the league

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years

      He had done it in Barca and Bayern as they had better and younger defenders plus top class keepers. Not in City though esp with the aging defence against the fast-pace football in EPL. Hence no clean sheets up till now. Won't bet against Soton scoring this weekend.

        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        fair assessment-the FBs and CBs and GKs are just not up to it

    4. Delhidynamo

      Pep's like a jaded ex lover who moved on thinking he was too good for her and now he roams around the world trying to find/convert someone to his ex, then take her to the ex's house and embarrass himself trying to prove how much of a better man he is now.

          Klopp seems like a good guy, Guardiola less so. Has treated players like garbage, that has to be noted by the others, some of whom must be friends with Hart and Yaya

            • 9 Years

              Have the utmost respect for your thoughts and posts but please do not go back 5 posts and post a reply. You make me lost each time you do this 😀

    My WC so far:

    Grant- Pickford
    Lovren-Pieters-Morgan-Amat-Wilson
    Sanchez-De Bruyne-Lallana-Allen-Coquelin
    Aguero-Lukaku-Costa

    .4 ITB
    Im also thinking Holebas/Moses instead of Morgan/Allen
    (I hate having money on my bench)

    What do you all think?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Well done on getting 5 big hitters up front. This WC boils down to whether the defenders picked on medium term good fixtures can deliver or not. Don't know the answer to that.

    2. Exotica
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      For me, I think to have both Sanchez and KDB is way too much invest. I will suggest you to pick ozil or walcott instead of Sanchez and also Holebas instead of morgan. Then you will have some budget to upgrade some mid like lalana to Coutinho, Coq to someone.

    3. @SirAustinDangerPowers
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      The 5 big hitters make this team look wonderful but then the Defence makes it a bit too risky long term.
      Also if Coq is 4.5 or 4.4 then downgrade to 4.3 Whelan and upgrade Wilson to 4.5 defender.
      If not then
      Wilson >>> to a playing 4.4 defender

    4. noquarternt
      • 8 Years

      different and risky. Good luck.

  3. Exotica
    • 8 Years

    Plz RMT

    Grant (Foster)

    Smith Holebas Cameron (Kingsley, McAulley)

    Coutinho Walcott Alli Son (Capoue)

    Kun Costa Lukaku(C)

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      With Spurs fixtures two in Ana k seems a bit much. I would lose Son before Alli though.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Attack

  4. zzquack
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Would Son to Walcott for (-4) be a good move this week?

    1. @SirAustinDangerPowers
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No.
      Yes Walcott looked dangerous but then Son only really didn't play in the PL last week to save himself for UCL.
      He will start this weekend no worries.

    2. NLB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Son, he was just rested for the CL tie.

    3. Let-me-tiger-you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not for a hit

  5. Weeb Kakashi

    Can anyone give me a sure prediction on any of tonight's Europa league game?

    1. noquarternt

      No one can see the future...

  6. Schliegs
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    quick trade advice

    1 Ft 2.5m itb

    Pickford (Heaton)
    Smith Williams Valencia (Amat, McCauley)
    Sanchez Sterling Lallana Antonio Capoue
    Kun Lukaku (Diomande)

    Options

    Diomande > Deeney/Wilson/Austin
    Sterling > Theo

    Thinking get in Theo this week and Wilson after Spurs game

    1. Schliegs
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      3rd option is McCauley > Clyne

    2. @SirAustinDangerPowers
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      With your money ITB Antonio To Walcott this week and then Diomande to Wilson/Austin next week.

  7. KUN+10
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Hello all!

    I have Ozil, Sanchez and Koscielny. I want to get walcott in...what moves would you recommend?

    A- Straight swap Ozil for Walcott
    B- Sanchez to walcott (i could then do Son to KDB)
    C-No changes

    full team:
    jaku/pickford
    holebas kos amat kingsley mcauley
    ozil sanchez allen marney son
    kun costa luk
    .2 itb no transfers

    Thanks for the hell!

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        KUN+10 is giving me hell.

        You may need to change to just +11 soon.

    2. NLB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say save the transfer. Sanchez and Ozil should deliver the goods this week alongside Walcott

    3. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Leaning towards save FT here. All three of Ozil, Sanchez and Theo have a great chance of scoring well this week. Would've been easy to say Ozil a week ago but not so after 4 goals in 2 games

    4. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'd save. No need to take a hit with that team

    5. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks all for the replies. I'll stay put for this week.

  8. NLB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Stones Pieters Friend Amat
    Haz Lallana Antonio Capoue Fletcher
    Kun Ibra Lukaku
    2 FT, WC available

    Wanted to panic and click WC, but think I can get by with my two frees:
    Ibra/Capoue to Wilson/Walcott (also leaves me with 2.5 in the bank).

    Good moves?
    Cheers

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      who do you want long term?
      Sanchez or Walcott?

      1. NLB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Probably Sanchez, but I want to keep Antonio and Haz at the moment. Walcott price point sells me.

    2. youknowho
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Would suggest you get austin instead of wilson

    3. noquarternt

      Yeah good moves, don't need to WC.

  9. Dosh
    • 10 Years

    Choose one please.

    a. Ozil --> Sanchez

    b. Payet --> Sanchez

    c. Antonio --> Walcott

    Thanks!

  10. fijuhmon
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Benteke & Antonio -> Wilson/Austin & Theo (have Sanchez already) / Lallana (have Mane already) for a hit? If yes, which combination? Need to do this before price rises.

    1. youknowho
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Get austin and theo no doubt. I wish i had the funds to do this move. My striker is Rondon sadly.

  11. youknowho
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Looking the rise in Walcott ownership and his goal threat , do you think it is worth taking a hit to bring him in for Antonio who is probably gonna play at RB?
    Here is my team:
    Heaton,Pickford
    Bellerin,Valencia,stones,amat,love
    sanchez,firmi,Antonio,capoue, redmond.
    aguero,lukaku,rondon
    1FT, 0.6 ITB

    A.Stones,antonio>Holebas,walcott (-4)
    B.Stones,antonio>Pieters,walcott (-4)
    C.antonio>Son

    F.Rondon>austin
    G.Save

    1. fijuhmon
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      See above, I'm considering doing Antonio to Walcott for a hit because of team value and the fact that Antonio is downgraded to RB

      1. youknowho
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, but worth downgrading Stones for it? if yes, the pieters? or Holebas?

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years

      think i'll be doing D in a couple of weeks - maybe next week

      1. youknowho
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Lallana was benched last week , that is what's making me lean towards to wally with a hit.

        1. Mini Mane Mo
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Lallana was fit for the whole match as he was recovering from injury. He will most likely feature this weekend.

      No. I'd be more worried about having to pick from Capoue and Allen each week. Even Antonio should be on thinner ice than Son.

      look at Ruth NZ post @5 hours ago to understand the world of the pep
      I think he's wrong and misguided but he did play the first half with a pressing midfield and some success.The quality of his players;misfortune(ferdi) and stupidity(bravo) of others let him down.
      all in all Kun may not be the 'go to ' fpl default captain much more....

  19. Lecky Legs FC
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Can't convince myself to put Sanchez as (C) this GW and Aguero'a non starting in the last three games could be seen as an issue too, might have Mane as a differential captain this weekend.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Why not Sanchez?

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Everytime I do have him as captain he's been nothing more than a letdown only getting assist or nothing Mane could be gold vs WBA this weekend.

        My competitor in my Mini League has a full Arsenal midfield so looking to be different

      Get a Spurs defender by removing Shaw. Walker will be good.

    Snoddy to Theo -4?
    I can't decide

  22. FPL Maldini

    With Evans being banned how much worse does it make West Brom defence?

  23. SpaceCadet

    Anyone know if the Liverpool presser is today or tomorrow?

  24. FPL Maldini

    7 years, 8 months ago

    Which one to get ?

    A) Mustafi

    B) Stoke defender

    1. Professor Red
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You need context. Obviously about Arsenal defender is gonna be better than a Stoke one

  25. Professor Red

    7 years, 8 months ago

    Walcott nice and rested for the weekend. High as a kite on confidence. Beard is on point. What more do you need??

    Who do bring in for Bailly this GW?

    A) Clyne
    B) Fuchs

    1. Mini Mane Mo

      None...Mou will park the bus again this week.

  28. Rolls-Royce

    Looking for Toby replacements. Which option is the best?

    A. Mustafi/Bellerin
    B. Walker/Vertongen
    C. Fuchs
    D. Lovren/Clyne

    Other defs are : A.Smith, Holebas, Williams, Amat.

    1. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Walker/mustafi

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      D as their fixtures are better. C (Morgan too) would be an option at home as only Swansea have scored against them this season

    3. Kante Be Bothered
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      walker

    4. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years

      I have been sick and in hospital over the last few days and stupidly used 2 FT's on Wimmer and Zaba. Probably the most stupid moves I have made since playing the game. The reason I say this is Toby might not be that badly injured. Unless value will suffer or it is confirmed he is out for weeks, hold on. If not, the rotation and position risk of Spurs defenders are too great.

        Cheers all.

    Which player needs to be upgraded this week most ?

    A) Kingsley

    B) Snod

    C) Antonio

    Got 4.1m in the bank

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      C...you can afford any mids you like except for Sanchez

      1. FPL Maldini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Who do you suggest?

    2. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Expect Antonio to play RB so maybe take a safer mid option. Snod nothing wrong as a 5th mid and the remainder of your defence makes the Kingsley decision impossible to answer.

      1. FPL Maldini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Rest of defence is Amat, Walker,Evans, Williams

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          You can get away with that defence. Amat play time will be the key and Kingsley will be a throw away most of the time.

    Hello guys!

    What's the consensus on Sterling-->Wally for free. Having also Baines in my squad and only one free transfert, my initial thought was that he should be the one to go. No other issue in my squad. Thanks for the feedback as usual 😉

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on the defenders you have. Otherwise Wally looks great to have against Boro

    2. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      do it, wally looks 'essential'

    3. adam28193
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I have the same issue I'm gonna wait for pressers on Baines before making a decision. I have Amat for this week if he's out but I think I'm definitely gonna do sterling > wally

      1. Let-me-tiger-you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        So tempting... Pep has not won any of his last four matches now. I could see Sane getting a chance this weekend and Sterling rotated.

        1. Brap.
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Sane started the last game & was ropey

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years

      Keep sterling
