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.

    So.... Stones?

      Rotation risk over Christmas period imo. Go for it if you have a strong bench.

        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Getting him over Laporte would allow me to strengthen my bench further. Started 8 from 12 and last 5 in a row (though I guess that coincides with Ota injury?) I'm assuming he's first choice.

    1. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      No

    2. Brosstan

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

  5. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Sancho looks dangerous.

    But no doubt Rashford will start instead of him in the Nations League. 🙄

  6. Champions united
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Dunk or digne
    Tending towards dunk

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Digne more likely to get clean sheet

      1. Champions united
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Whos the best for next4

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Probably Dunk but don't trust Brighton defence.
          This from a Duffy owner

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Digne imo

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

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Crocked, a few weeks minimum, yes.

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

      6-8 weeks

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

      4-5 gws maybe
      He has twitted that get another captain so might take at least a Month

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

      6 weeks which is about 8GWs I think

  8. Kun Tozser
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Best Everton defender?

    Keane better than Digne for baps alone?

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

      Goal threat too.
      But would still prefer digne

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Shaun Maloney a coach for Belgium. Pretty mad.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Whooos

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

    Vardy to Lacazette worth a hit?

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

      Probably.

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not for me

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

    So changes locked in. How’s she looking fellas....?

    Ederson
    Alonso - Robertson - Doherty - Dunk
    Salah - Hazard - Martial - Richarlison
    Aguero - Arnie/Jiminez

    Subs: Hamer - WB - Hojbjerg

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Looks ok..

      Awesome

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

        Thanks!

    3. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not exciting. Needs more 'wow.'

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

        How would you spice it up then??!

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

          Salah to Sterling. Hojberg to Anderson.

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

            No pool attack?? No thanks!

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

              On an individual effort, Sterling is averaging 7.9ppm vs Salah's 6.3ppm (& $2.8m more). Man City also has recorded 13 more goals then Liverpool. Even Arsenal has three more goals then Liverpool.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Digne instead of dunk?

      1. Goat
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Digne getting rammed down people’s throats from all angles

        1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Keane a better choice. Better points ration and more of a goal threat 100% nailed

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

        No cash left to get Digne

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Jiminez > Ings allows it?

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

  11. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What do we think of Mendy and Mane to TAA and Sterling for free?

    (I own Dilva and Robbo)

    Yay or nay?

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

      Yeah

      1. Robe Wan

        Cheers Epic

        How’s the library?

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

          I've never been to Arsenal's stadium before.

          1. Robe Wan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            I have. Both of them

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

              The Emirates looks like a decent stadium to be fair. Wouldn't mind watching a game there one of the days.

              1. Robe Wan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                It’s soulless. Like watching England at Wembley

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

                  Haha and that's saying something. I better keep my money in my wallet then.

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

      Not keen on bringing TAA in

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Deli alli wearing lion print suspenders.

  13. Champagne supernova
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Is it madness to replace Mendy with TAA, I already have Robertson, the top teams have that double up.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Im considering him or Gomez for a Liverpool double up.

      1. Champagne supernova
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I’m just a bit concerned that TAA will get rotated, so I may do stones.
        Good we have another 9 days to think it over

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

          Stones could easily be rotated too. TAA probably more nailed than Stones.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      TAA will be FPL gold over Christmas I feel. Only a matter of time until he scores & Liverpool are tighter than a duck’s anus at the back

      1. Champagne supernova
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Also if I get TAA I can upgrade one my defenders to tripper and one of my strikers to Lacazette for the fixture wing

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

      I wouldn’t double up on pool defence, see them shipping some goals in the coming games. I own Alisson and Robbo and I’ll be getting rid of Alisson this week

  14. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Shaun Maloney a coach for Belgium. Thats pretty mad.

  15. BigBarn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Theoretically, if Sancho rocked up at, say, Chelsea next year for 40mil or whatever, how much would he be in FPL? Assume he carries on having a great season in Dortmund. 7.5?

  16. Champions united
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Which is beter
    1.Laporte+fraser
    2.Dunk/digne+martial (-4)

    1. Monya Meow Meow
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I would say the first is better if you don't have any other City def.

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

      1 & 2 with Digne score similar imo so depends who you would want long term

  17. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What a finish that from jlingz

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years

      Amazing.

  18. Robe Wan

    Got Lingard in auction league. Nothing yet. Do you think he'll start to perform?

  23. Neevesy
    • 7 Years

    TAA essential

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    TAA Wagon gonna be full up soon

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

      Just until next bench

  25. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Lingard is quality, he really should be 1st choice in this England team.

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

      Who for?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Probably in a 4231

        .....................Kane
        ....Sterling....Lingard....Sancho
        ...............Dier.....Foden
        Shaw...Maguire,,,Stones..Walker

  27. diesel001

    Hopefully Trent is benched against Croatia so he has enough recovery time for the PL match.
