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.

      Next week. First auto sub.

    3. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He should get 7

  2. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Current wildcard team (3-5-2):

    Fabianski / 4.0

    Alonso / TAA / Bennett / Digne / Kiko

    Hazard / Salah / Fraser / Martial / Richarlison

    Aguero / Arnautovic / Success

    Any ideas?

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

      Fabianski and Alonso to ederson and Luiz?

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Can you squeeze Jimenez in over Fraser maybe

        1. Ian Davis
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Fraser currently the best pick in that price category

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

        If you hate points then this is a great suggestion

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

          West ham and Chelsea defense vs city and Chelsea defense???

      3. Ian Davis
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        It’s a good shout. Alonso currently the top scoring FPL player though

    2. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Fabianski can become Ryan or Hart for two gameweeks. Not sure on Kiko with the fixtures.

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

    Hello, can I get some insights?

    Ederson
    Robbo Luiz Pereira *
    Haz salah richarlison *
    Arnie Kun

    Hamer awb success odoi

    Mendy to Doherty and:

    A) Fraser to martial
    B) Fraser to bilva

    Thanks

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

      Wonder exact the same thing. I think Martial just edges it with Silva only permorming at home atm, and the majority of his next matches is away

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

      Why move Fraser...has more points than either of your choices.....got easy game next with Hudders and Brighton in between tough game.

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

        Just think they will outscore him in next 3-4 weeks before WC

  4. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Struggling to decide whether Chilwell looks more like Leighton Baines love child, or one of the Kray twins.

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

      Why is everyone on chillwell and overlooking pereira? Can't get the hype

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

        Think you’ve misread what he said

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

          Yep. Sorry.

    2. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Baines + Tom Holland's love child absolutely

  5. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Dilva or Martial if money doesn't matter? (Already have Aguero & Sterling)

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

      A

      1. Mackans
        • 6 Years

        ?

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

          Silva

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

            Convince me pls

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

              He plays for Man City. Martial plays for Man Utd.

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

        Martial, but just because you have city attack double

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

      A

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

      Martial

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

        Why?

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

          Cheaper, great form, good fixtures and you already have double city attack.

  6. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Wilson disgracing himself on debut 🙄

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      what do you mean

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Dived in the box and deliberately elbowed an opponent

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          oh dear! Rooney to come on for him 🙂

  7. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Got 2FT, and 0.2 ITB. One will likely be spent on Mendy to Digne, leaving 1.7 ITB. Where to spend the other FT?

    Fab Hamer
    Alonso Robertson *Digne* Doherty AWB
    Salah Hazard DSilva Fraser Diangana
    Aguero Arnautovic Quaner

    Quaner to Jiminez (favoured right now)? Fraser to Martial? Other?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Jimenez

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

      A will give you a bench headache. B for me

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

    So Laporte is best one to replace Mendy?

    Current team:

    Alisson
    Alonso - Robbo - Mendy - Doherty
    Hazard - Mane - D. Silva - Fraser
    Aguero - Jimenez

    Hamer - Arnautovic - N. Mendy - AWB

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

      Yes

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

      Mendy > Laporte

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

    Peoples thoughts on Sane?

    He went on a ridiculous run last year after Mendy got injured in like GW4. I can do Mendy + Fraser to Doherty + Sane, no brainer or not?

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

      It's definitely not a no brainer.

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

      Wrong kind of no brainer.

  10. Spartac Mac
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed.

    Help us out lads, not sure who to swap out for.

    Mendy (6.4) + Barkley (5.8) to who?

    2 free transfers.

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Digne and Martial

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        this

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

        Don’t think he has enough

    2. Spartac Mac
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Good shouts, was thinking TAA & Richarlison could work too.

  11. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Ederson
    Alonso Doherty Robertson Duffy Mendy
    Hazard Salah Fraser Barkley Pererya
    Aguero Arnie Success

    2 FT 0.1 itb

    1. Mendy, Barkley > Digne, Martial/Richarlison
    2. Mendy, Pererya, Success > Schindler, Richarlison, Jimenez (-4)
    3. Mendy Pererya Barkley > Bennett Richarlison Martial (-4)
    4. Mendy Barkley Pererya Success Salah > Schindler Richarlison Martial Jimenez Sterling (-12)

  12. Egg noodle

    Is Mendy out for long then?

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

      Highly likely.

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

      Something like 4 weeks

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

        Four gws or 4 weeks incl the international break? I'm not keen on taking him out only to bring him back again

  13. Cookie Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Robertson or Laporte arggggh

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

      Robbo no brainer

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

    4. Cookie Kid

      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I forgot to say that I have TAA, if that made any difference.

      Logically it shouldn't, as it makes sense just to pick the best individual player...

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

    Got to say.. Chilwell is really impressing..!

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

      Yep. Probably better than Shaw atm.

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

      he is england's best lb

  15. Fred54
    • 9 Years

    Has Rooney had a touch?

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

      He's got a hole in his pocket.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      benched 🙂

    3. Jimmers

    1. DeathoftheParty

      5 years, 5 months ago

      Very not bad...

  16. DeathoftheParty
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Wildcard team... Anything glaring here?

    Ed / Hamer

    Alonso / Robbo / Doherty / Balbuelo / AWB

    Salah / Hazard / Richalison / D Gray / Camarasa

    Aguero / Arnie / Jimenez

    Many thanks x

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

      Yeah I can see why you feel the need to use it.

      What's your new team gonna look like?

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

        Bantz

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Attack is okay though. Needs just to ditch Salah and get City players. Balbuelo is interesting choice also.

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

      I like your front 8

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

        Ta...

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

      Not keen on gray but limited options in that price range

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

        Very correct.

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

      I’d rather select Fernandinho or Paterson in that price range

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

        Paterson and Camarasa scares me...

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

          Yeah it’s not ideal, the way you’re teams structured means you’re going to have two cheap kids, I just think Paterson is a better pick than gray

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

            Mids lol

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

              Preferred kids

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

                  I'm listening

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

          I imagine Camarasa will be 3rd bench Fodder so kind of irrelevant considering you have a nailed team

  17. S3
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Best option to replace Mendy

    A. Robertson
    B. TAA
    C.Laporte
    D.Digne

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

      Definitely not Digne. The others all have a case to be made.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Okay I’ll bite. Why?

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

          Nothing to bite, the others are just far better options than Digne. Digne plays for Everton.

          1. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Got good fixtures though, and is attacking with some set piece duties too. Also over a mil cheaper than laporte

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

              Good fixtures or not it's still comparing an Everton defender with the 2 best teams in the league, all who have attacking threat too.

              It wouldn't be a surprise if Everton conceded in every single one of those 'easy' fixtures.

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

              The other 3 are season keepers and you can play them every single game. Digne is a rotation player.

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

      My order of pref would be CABD

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Depends what you can do with the funds elsewhere. Digne if it allows you a vital midfield upgrade

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

    Hmmm, found a new combo I quite like....thoughts on this team guys??

    Allison
    Laporte - Alonso - Robbo - Doherty - WB
    Hazard - Mane - Martial - Dilva - Hojbjerg
    Aguero - Arnie - Jiminez

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Good team. Benching headache maybe

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

        Cheers. Would mainly bench WB - Hoj - Doherty or Jiminez depending on fixtures

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

      I like it. If you went with a 4.5 Gk you could upgrade WB or hoiberg though if interested. But I like the liv double up at the back

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

        Cheers mix! I was considering getting a 4.5/4.6gk and dunk which would allow Dilva to become Sterling. But a bit worried that’s too weak at the back?? What do you reckon? Feels more balanced at mo I think....?

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

          It looks good as is. I’m a fan of going big at the back. Triple pool and city picks you have looks good, can’t go wrong there . Go with your gut

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I am currently on

      Patricio / Lössl
      Laporte, Alonso, Robbo, Doherty, WB
      Sterling, Hazard, Martial, Richarlison, Camarasa
      Aguero, Arnie, Jimenez

      So our wc teams are quite similar, but it is basicly your Alisson, Mane and Dilva vs my Patricio/ Lösll, Sterling, Richarlison.

  19. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Croatia-Spain 1:0

    1. CRO KLOPP

      Croatia Spain 1:1

    2. caldracula

      1-1, that was quick!

      1. CRO KLOPP

        Yes,2 mins

    3. CRO KLOPP

      Croatia leads again 2:1

  20. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Dilva or Martial if money doesn't matter?? (Already have Aguero & Sterling)

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mate this is the third time today I’ve seen you ask this. You got lots of responses last time.

  21. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years

    Quite like Delph. Solid defensively and intelligent passer. At only 28 years old, he still has a valuable place in this squad.

      Delph is 28? lol I thought he was around 22.

        I thought he would be nearer 32. Can remember he had a season at Leeds, seems a decade ago now. 🙂

    Mendy>Laporte
    Stekelenburg>Fabianski/4.5
    What do you think? I want some City cover in the back and I also have Patricio as a goalkeeper and then I can rotate these 2. I’ll have good fixtures until gw22 then

    Should I do Mendy to Robbo now or wait?
    Robbo is rising.

    (A) Mendy > Digne this week so I can upgrade Fab > Ederson next week?
    (B) Mendy > Laporte and keep Fab.

    Haz is so good. What a pass.

    Success + Mendy to Jimenez and X (5.7m)

    Find X 🙂 Doherty?

    Would be for a -4. Rest of defence is Alisson (Hamer), Alonso Robbo AWB Bennet

    Mendy, Fraser, Wilson -> Digne, D Silva, Jimenez?

    Hmmmmm.... what do we think about Liverpool’s defence next 6 weeks? 4 away games, and the two home games are derbies with Utd & Everton

      Risky for CS reliance potentially, but I won’t be selling Andy Robertson any time soon

      Have Alisson and Robertson, will be getting rid of Alisson, wouldn’t recommend bringing any one in.
