Where FPL teams concede the most chances from – Part 1

We are using the latest international break to identify trends in the opening 12 Gameweeks of the 2018/19 season.

This study aims to assess where each FPL team is most susceptible when it comes to conceding goals.

Using data available in the Members Area, we have looked at chances conceded from set pieces, through the middle and down the left or right flank.

With the relevant areas pinpointed for the first 10 teams, this first part then compares these with the upcoming schedule to find out which players stand to benefit.

Across the articles in this series the hope is the build a picture of which FPL assets have the most favourable match-ups with specific team weakness over the next six Gameweeks.

    Watching Scoutcas Extra when J0E said he enjoy international break...

    Ross:
    I'm kind of going through a dry spell, FPL wise...
    Joey:
    Oh. For, like, days ?
    Ross:
    Four, to be... lying. Twelve.
    Joey:
    Twelve? That's rough.
    Ross:
    It's not all bad, I'm learning to appreciate the small things like the sound of a bird and like the colour of the sky.
    Joey:
    The sky's blue, Ross, and there is no freakin PL games for 2 weeks!!!

      Nice... not many Friends fans on here I guess.

      At least, none that will admit it.

      1. FOMFF

        1. frenchfries
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, ManC might be rough

    4. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If it’s only two games then probably Jiménez

  4. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    My defense is Mendy Balbuena Doherty Yedlin Trippier

    Who should I replace Mendy with?

      Alonso

  5. frenchfries

    Which for the next 5 GW?

    A) Jimenez, DSilva (-4)

    B) Wilson, Martial

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Jimmy/rondon + martial

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Rondon??

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Punt

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Rondon is shite.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Ohh
              Sorry then mate !!

                No problem fella. Don't let it happen again.

      2. frenchfries
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Rondon is a trap, might consider Jimenez+Martial

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers

      B

  6. Henning
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Many injuries in this team
    Any suggestions?

    Thinking of

    1. Mendy and Mane out for Duffy and Hazard /Sterling

    2. Mendy out for Laporte

    Fabianski Hamer

    Robertson Alonso Mendy Wan-Bissaka Doherty

    Salah Mane Fraser Capoue Sigurdsson

    Agüero Arnautovic Ings

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      1
      With hazard

    2. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      2

      Prefer Mane to Hazard over next few games.

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      1 with Haz

  7. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Lots of England first teamers rested tonight (Kane, Walker, Sterling etc). Hopefully they only play against Croatia to keep them ticking over and then they won't be benched in the PL.

  8. XabiAlonso
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Would you bench Arnie against city and play kenedy against Burnley instead

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah
      I'm playing Bennett 😀

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I would never bench Arnie.

    3. FOMFF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      yeah

    4. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I had him on the bench pre Mendy injury news but I'm now playing him

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Does losing Mendy make them worse defensively? If anything Delph is more defensive minded than Mendy.

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          They've never conceded a goal with Mendy off the pitch :O

        2. Ghost Gooner
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          It was easier to bench Arnie with Mendy as I don't like pitting my defenders against my strikers. I didn't see it as Mendy made City better defensively

    5. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No way. Arnie is a big game player

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I always bench everyone who faces City regardless of who they are.

      1. Maddamotha
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Even Salah?

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Yes, benched him with great success earlier. Benching Robertson didnt pay off though.

    7. I Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It's a tough one. I have to make that same decision. Feels wrong benching Arnie but Kenedy playing in the Monday night game against a terrible Burnley defence looks quite nice.

    8. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yup I will

    9. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn’t bench a 7 mil striker for a 5 mil midfielder, let alone Arnautovic

    10. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks everyone

  9. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hopefully Laporte goes up in price tonight to start the avalanche of transfers in and make me some money

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Haha. I'm wondering whether to buy him or not.

      Whatever my team looks like, I'm sure you'll suggest me to buy him! 😉

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully he gets injured in the window to punish early transfers.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        That be be interesting as he’s not playing in the break...

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Maybe hes clubbing in Amsterdam at the weekend.

  11. Epic Fail
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    So that's what Callum Wilson looks like.

  12. Begbie.
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Is Mane to Richarlison worth a punt?

    Already have Salah fwiw.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Potentially. You know Mane is capable of hauling though.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        His luck has been gone though... So Richa IN!

  13. chilli con kone
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Why do the French not value Laporte??

    Madness that Kurt Zouma got.called up and he didn't

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Because they think about FPL! :>

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Manager might not like him.
      He is a beast though !!
      Great on the ball,agile + great header

    2. Pascal's Triangle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      You can probably wait a night.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I don't think so...

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Very nice team, would probably go for it

    5. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No, I’d save

    6. COYfootball

  15. THFC4LIFE

    Who would you play for the upcoming gw?

    Arnie or Brooks?

    Cheers

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Brooks
      Arsenal defense 😛

    2. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Arnie. No question.

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Brooks surely.Arsenal defense vs city defense nobrainer

    4. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      As you're a member, look at the defensive stats for Arsenal down the right, centre and left - bearing in mind Brooks plays centre or left 😉

  16. el polako
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Repost. Intrested in different crowd opinion.
    May even let RMT tool decide.

    In the light of Mendy's injury & likelyhood of Sane getting starts would you rather have ?
    A) David Silva, Martial & TAA
    B) Sane, Richarlison & Digne

    On WC and really intrested in community's opinion.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A with digne

    2. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

  17. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    On a WC is Doherty worth the 0.4 over jonny?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes for me - Doherty seems to be a slightly better player which leads to more time in the box and assist potential. Jonny is good, but he just seems a little worse than Doherty.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely
      He is worth 5.9 mate
      He is basically a rw getting CS points.

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He's a better pick than Jonny, yes.
      You have to decide what else you can do with .4 though.

    4. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

    5. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Depends what the 0.4 gets you elsewhere. Can't answer Q without knowing the bigger picture.

        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I’m 0.2 short of Maddis to Martial 🙁 How would you sort it? Get another one instead, or take a hit to free up cash elsewhere?

    2. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Get rid of Mendy

      1. merin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Who to get instead?

        1. caldracula
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Laporte/Digne popular picks, depends what you can do with the cash saved elsewhere

  19. tricpic
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Question
    If you make some transfers for -4 but then later need to make more...and hit the wildcard button...does the original -4 not get deducted?
    Need to make some changes now to catch price rises, but nervous about doing so early in a two week break...but have the option of wildcarding if needs be.
    Thanks for advice

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, WC cancels hits.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No. All transfers are free.
      Even done before wc for the same gw

    3. norwegian-forest-cats
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, the -4 will be wiped.

  20. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Like my team to be honest and handing 2 FTs. The only issue is what to do with Mendy.

    Patricio
    Alonso - Robertson - Mendy* - Doherty - AWB
    Hazard - Mane - Martial - Richarlison - Billing
    Aguero - Arnie - Wilson

    Mendy ➡

    A) VVD - double Pool def
    B) Luiz - double Chelsea def
    C) Laporte - City def coverage
    D) Digne - saves cash for further upgrades

    ??

    Thoughts, from gw15:
    Laca Hazard Mendy ---> Kane Sterling Schindler

    1. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Gonna have Mendy in your squad till gw 15?

      1. hjalmarekdal
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Nope, making Mendy out now, and the other two until gw15 when Kane’s fixture getting better

        Holy sh...
        Sleepy 1.32 am here
        Thanks for pointing out mate.
        Hazard should not be transferred imo !!

    On a WC, is this team worth it?

    Flappy 4.0
    Alonso Robbo Jonny Bennett Awb
    Salah Sterling Haza Diangana Gunarsson
    Kun Arnie Jiminez

    Plan is to play 4-3-3, play one of bennett, awb , diangana and gunarsson each week, a small cost for all the heavy hitters?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Can work !!

    2. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Decent team with plenty of captain options too.

    3. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If you do Robbo > TAA/Gomez
      You can do Jonny>Doherty and 4.4mid to Paterson.
      Gives you a much stronger bench on Christmas period.

    4. FFSbet.com

      Too much,downgrade one of Kun/Sterling and upgrade.

    Obv internationals and potential injuries and “injuries” to come but this is how I’m lining up after using my FT. WC still to play:

    £0.5itb
    Fab
    Alonso, Robbo, Laporte, Doherty
    Salah (C), Haz, Martial, Fraser
    Aguero, Wilson

    (Foster) (Duffy, Diangana, Success)

    Look ok?

    1. Maddamotha

      Im fukkin widit

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Lol is that a yes?

  27. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Fabianski
    Doherty, Alonso, Trent
    Hazard, Martial, Salah, Sterling, Rich
    Arnie, Jimenez

    Hamer, Mendy, AWB, Success

    Do you think Mendy > Digne is worth a -4? If all my starting 11 play then it's unnecessary... but obviously Doherty / Rich / Martial are all risks. Don't want to be relying on my bench this week who are all guaranteed 2 pointers.

    1. Epic Fail

      No

    Just playing around with what WC might look like if played around week 15 or 16. Thoughts on this welcome- also trying to get full playing bench for busy Christmas games?

    Patricio Fabianski
    Alonso Doherty Bellerin Dunk AWB
    Hazard Mané DSilva Kenedy Camarasa
    Kane Arnautovic Lacazette

    Which midfield do you guys prefer:

    Salah - Haz - Martial - Richarlison
    or
    Mane - Haz - Martial - Sterling

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      1st one for me

    2. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Tough but purely as Salah is a more reliable captain option, I'd go A. Depends what captain options you have up front though.

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Got Kun - Arnie - Jiminez up front

        1. Tony Moon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Defo A then. Gives good captain choices in Salah and Aguero.

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Salah and Rich
      Vs
      Mane and Sterling

      Salah and Rich for me

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Cheers mate

    Haven't logged on all week... What is the consensus on Mendy? How long is he expected to be out for?

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago
