Questions

Will7o20602: Is £4.5m-rated Fikayo Tomori an option and what of Chelsea’s defence in general?

FPL Heisenberg: I’m avoiding the Chelsea defence personally, as they are shipping too many goals for my liking.

They have got great fixtures coming up and Tomori is a good price at £4.5m so if you fancy them to improve with their favourable fixtures, go for it.

Joe: I’m not sold on the Chelsea defence yet and favour waiting to see how they perform at the start of their kind fixture run, which kicks off against Brighton this weekend.

Their underlying statistics certainly show promise.

While they have shipped eight goals over the last four Gameweeks, the expected goals conceded statistics suggests that they should only have let four to five of those in.

In addition, they have given up seven big chances to opponents over their last quartet of matches but 12 teams have let in more.

It is also worth noting that their 31 shots conceded over the last four matches is the third-best in the league.

If they can translate those promising figures into actual clean sheets then Tomori is a strong value option indeed, if he can keep his place.

FPL Hints: In seasons gone by, it would almost seem like a bit of a hack if you were to suggest that there was a starting defender from a team like Chelsea priced at less than £5m. But under Lampard’s youth policy that is exactly what you’re getting in the case of Tomori. 

It goes without saying that Chelsea have a generous fixture run from Gameweek 7 to 12. During this time they won’t face any Premier League teams that finished in the top eight last season. The fact Tomori has started during the last three Gameweeks is a positive sign.

However, as good as it may seem, there are some caveats. Chelsea have yet to keep a single clean sheet in the Premier League since August. In fact, they’ve conceded at least two goals per game since Gameweek 3. But then again, there haven’t been many clean sheets as a whole. 

Tomori could act as the perfect enabler when downsizing from a premium defender if it means you then have extra cash to obtain additional attacking cover from City.  He’s also a differential at 1.3% and definitely on my radar but I may wait for Chelsea to keep clean sheets before I consider their backline options.

Rod: Is Firmino a better option than Mane and Salah right now?

FPL Hints: If the form book is anything to go by, the Brazil international is certainly making a case for himself. The fact that he is cheaper than Mane and Salah is also a positive sign and I actually considered buying him as part of doubling up with Salah. 

His three goals and four assists this season can’t be ignored and is currently on course to exceed his tallies from last season. Firmino is the clear centre-forward option for Liverpool at the moment, with Divock Origi playing second fiddle and highly unlikely to challenge him in the immediate future.

The fact that Firmino was benched in Gameweek 5 had more to do with managing minutes post-international break than a rotation policy under Klopp. He ended up coming off the bench and assisting in that match, which also bodes well.

I would strongly recommend Firmino as a ‘double-up’ option alongside either Salah or Mane.

FPL General: Firmino has been excellent so far this season but I’m reluctant to say he’s better than Mo and Sadio just yet. He is offering great value at £9.5m but I still view Salah and Mane as the more explosive options who I trust a lot more for captaincy than Firmino.

That being said, when I Wildcard in a couple of weeks time, if Firmino is still delivering consistently then I’ll be giving him serious consideration – but it’s likely to be alongside one of Salah/Mane, rather than instead of.  

Joe: I’m going to be a pain again and suggest that the wrong question is being asked. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Robert Firmino are all good options so instead FPL managers should ask themselves how many of them should they own, not is Roberto Firmino the best.

Doubling up on attackers is a hugely viable tactic. Adding Firmino to a team turns the well-owned Mane and Salah from a shield pick to a rank busting sword. This is especially the case when you consider they have scored 11 goals between them this season. Also, each of them has between 38% to 41% goal involvement.

Yes, Firmino has eight shots on target this campaign, but Salah has only one less and Mane has six.

Firmino is not a better option. He is a great option, but that doesn’t mean Salah and Mane should be forgotten.

Hansel: I have Haller but is it worth taking a hit to get Abraham in? And could the same be said for Barnes and King owners?

FPL General: This is something I’ve been pondering myself this week. I’d love to have Tammy for Brighton this weekend but it would mean losing Barnes for a -4. Selling Barnes for a -4 doesn’t feel right with two decent fixtures coming up, so I think I’ll end up being patient with him.

If I wasn’t planning to Wildcard soon, I would be more likely to take the hit to get Abraham. In terms of Haller to Tammy for a -4, I think that’s easier to do with Haller failing to register a shot on target last two games and Lanzini being out is a big loss to their attack. I expect Abraham to continue his good form in the next couple of weeks. 

FPL Hints: The fact that Haller, King and Barnes all blanked in Gameweek 6 was rather unfortunate. I own neither of them but I see their merit as budget options. 

West Ham still have a good fixture run ahead and it does seem a bit premature to sell Haller so suddenly. After all, Abraham also blanked last weekend and if you were to switch them for a hit, you would have to somehow hope that Abraham scored a brace and gets maximum bonus points to make it worthwhile (and for Haller to blank), which all seems a bit risky.

Of course, it makes sense to move towards buying Abraham for those Fantasy managers that have a free transfer at hand. 

His 30% ownership is almost making him a must-have and he is more than capable of scoring 20+ goals this season if he is able to retain his starting berth and current strike rate. However, it may be worth giving our other budget options one last chance before we opt for him.

FPL Heisenberg: Tough one as it depends on the rest of your squad if you should take a hit for Haller to Abraham. However, I think it’s a good move as Tammy looks a great pick. Go for it!

Darrell b: With many options appearing up front and ‘big at the back’ not really working out, who should we look for in defence? Mid-price options like Otamendi or Aurier? Or do we go even cheaper down to Söyüncü or a Villa, Brighton or Burnley option?

Joe: The discussion around big at the back I think misses the point. Instead, FPL managers should look at their team as a whole and have a balanced approach across the board that can hop on bandwagons, value and emerging strategies quickly.

For defence, I favour one to three defenders that offer attacking threat that can be played almost every week. The top candidates here for me are Liverpool’s Trent Alexander Arnold, who is top for key passes over the last four Gameweeks among defenders.

Everton’s Lucas Digne is second to the Liverpool man for chances over the same period among defenders and has taken more corners over that time than any other rearguard option.

Another is Manchester City’s Nicolas Otamendi. No other defender can beat his six shots in the box over the last four Gameweeks. He already has a goal and assist to his name.

More than three of this kind of defender I think upsets the balance of the rest of the team.

I then favour filling the remaining defensive slots with those that offer mainly just clean sheet potential and bonus points. This is where fixtures, value and rotating options via the bench comes in.

Çaglar Söyüncü of Leicester is a gift. Priced initially at £4.5m, even with a small price rise, he is around £0.5m to £1m under-valued in a team with great fixtures coming up.

Sheffield United’s John Lundstram is another gem. A box-to-box sure-starting midfielder that FPL misclassified and underpriced as one of the cheapest defenders in the game.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa’s Tyrone Mings, Burnley’s Erik Pieters and Brighton’s Lewis Dunk are among the top five defenders in FPL’s bonus points system.

    aww Lundstram given the night off, many goals incoming this weekend!

    Sterling owners.
    I guess this week the sensible play is to hold for now?
    Are you captaining though?

    I'm so tempted to do Sterling and Barnes to Son and Firmino but I guess another week to look at Sterling is wise? Just worried I will be in the same boat for the next few weeks being scared to drop him. Thoughts?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Probably won't captain. Not selling either just yet.

    2. user.n
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling gonna score but when? I'm losing point also

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Let's face it, if you have Sterling then you should be capping him.

      I did not cap Sterling ONCE GW1 to 4 and brought in KDB for GW5 and turned out for the better. If I am not going to cap Sterling, he is of no use to me.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Never follow this argument.

        Two of KdB Sterling Kun are terrific right now given fixtures and the most explosive attack the PL has ever seen. You defo want two but you can only captain one.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          If I have Salah and Kun then two of the best capping choices ro have.

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            *to*

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Hear me out. What if you had Salah, Kun/Sterling and KDB??

            The point of the game is to get the most points, so why would you say a player who is most likely a top 5 scorer at the end of the season is useless.

            Aside from your captain, you still have 10 players...

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

      Hold

      He had a poorish game v Norwich but he’s had his rest and is looking great generally. City have amazing fixtures.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Are you capping Sterling this weekend?

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          No

          Sold him last week as I read rotation and wanted to captain KdB over Kun and to get defender in.

          I will though almost certainly be moving from Kun to Sterling in a couple of weeks.

    5. Karhumies
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Who are your remaining captain options if you drop Sterling and get 2x 9.5 in? I'd prefer trading a heavy hitter captain to a heavy hitter captain: Aguero, Salah, Mane, possibly Aubameyang. Don't get me wrong, both Son and Firmino are great, but are you going to captain them?

    6. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'm captaining sterling. I'd be gutted if I didn't and he hauled.

  3. user.n

    Sterling + James for KDB and Son?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      nah not worth it this week Sterling and James probably both return, big chance it hurts you

      1. user.n
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Maybe you are right

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          dont get me wrong KDB and Son are amazing, but i assume your doing this for a hit. Long run KDB and Son pay off ez, but I think Sterling and James can both return this week even if Kdb and Son do as well. Will you really be positive with the hit? If you have 2 ft then its probably fine.
          Is it for -4 or -8?

          1. user.n

      If no penalty hits, go for it! Otherwise do Sterling->KDB now and upgrade James->Son next week.

      Simplified version of my recommended WC template:

      GKs
      4.5, McGovern

      DEFs
      TAA, Otamendi, Soyuncu, Lundstram, differential XI pick (6.5 - 4.0)

      MIDs
      KDB, Salah/Mane, Mount, differential XI pick (12.1 - 5.5), Cantwell/Saka

      FWDs
      Aguero/Firmino, Abraham/Pukki, Abraham/Pukki/differential pick (11.0 - 5.1)

      Recommended differential picks:
      DEF: Azpilicueta/Aurier/Tomori
      MID: Son/Martial/Maddison
      FWD: Vardy/C.Wilson/Haller

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Azpi if they can actually keep a clean
        Son
        Vardy

        4 years, 8 months ago

        Sterling will be a top 5 fantasy player by the end of the season. Cant say that he isnt template. It should be Aguero/Sterling

        1. Karhumies
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I'd say that if you missed most of the KDB, Mount, Abraham, Pukki and Lundstram rises, you might not be able to comfortably afford Sterling/Aguero without sacrificing something else. At which point, KDB + Mane + Firmino + the most expensive differential mid you can get seems pretty legit to me.

      3. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        That’s my exact team - although my ‘differential picks’ aren’t so pretty

        AWB, Sterling, Greenwood

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

        No Auba? Fantastic returns already and glorious fixtures. He’s one of the top strikers in the world and you’d back him to continue scoring and scoring.

        1. TheDragon
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Auba is an FPL mystery to me - has started this season great and was a v high point scorer last year but...

          .... he is barely on my radar (and many other peoples) - and I’m not even sure why

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Maybe you listen to the plebs on here too much?

            1. TheDragon
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Maybe - although I feel like I’ve got fairly good at filtering out the rubbish on here

          2. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            the guy is giving away charity goals to Pepe thats how sure he is that he gets Golden Boot, epic skill levels. Never blanked more than 3 games on the trot...

        2. Karhumies
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I've had Auba since GW2, but I have to say that downgrading him to Firmino or Abraham would have allowed me to have a much better 4th mid in the XI. I may have gotten off lucky playing Cantwell vs MCity but that was not going to happen every week.

    8. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Pedro pen G

      Lol @ Frank saying Barkley was the peno taker.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It was obvious he was just trying to save Barkley's face.

    9. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Pedro scores a penalty when Ross Barkley was on the pitch tonight.

      Didn’t Lampard reiterate that Barkley was his number 1 penalty taker after the previous squabble in Champions League.

      So if no Pedro on the pitch is Tammy now number 1 penalty taker ?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years

        Lampard clearly weak as is Azpil and whoever is captain tonight

        After the Super Cup, maybe not.

      Is Dendoncker ever going to fall in price?

    12. Dirty Harry

      4 years, 8 months ago

      On a WC, anything you can pick apart?

      Pope (4.0)
      TAA Soyu/Lund/Tomori/Rico
      Salah KDB Son Cantwell/Guendouzi
      Kun Pukki Tammy

      I know defence looks pretty light but I feel I can rotate between Soyu / Lund / Tomori / Rico and also Cantwell / Guendouzi.

      Not having Sterling sucks but I'm hoping I can find points through Kun

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I am considering the same front 7 if I WCing this week .. but not confident on that 4th mid spot

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I know what you mean, I would love to have Mount as a 4th mid but there just isn't enough funds unless losing a big player to make up the 1.5m difference

      2. flashcheeks
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I'm on WC too. Same team apart from

        Lund -> Otamendi
        Son -> Mount
        Guen -> McGinn

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 8 Years

          Not a bad shout there with those different three

        Son to Mount gives you enough cash to include Otamendi instead of Rico. Then you have 4-3-3. Saka could be worth considering until Lacazette returns.

    13. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      Why the rush about Son lately? Have you seen Spurs play? They are in very poor form.

      1. have you seen cyan

        Does the SON rise?

        16 points in a similar game two weeks ago...

      3. Coys96

        Spurs need to step up. 3 easy fixtures.

      4. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Many are transfering sterling out for son. Crazy imo

    14. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      1. Zinchenko -> Otamendi (-4)

      2. Don’t take hit, play Zinchenko and Lundstram most likely comes on. Zinc -> Ota next GW

      3. Kelly -> Tomori (-4). Bench Cantwell and if Zinc doesn’t play Cantwell comes on. Zinc -> Ota for free next week

        Rochdale, have not checked lately but what division are they playing in? That said, for CHE to concede not looking good when it comes to Lampard's defensive know how. Would not touch their defence with a barge pole.

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Tomori not a bad shout for the home games against the likes of Brighton/Newcastle/Palace etc

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Have you checked CHE's gome results up to date?

                He's 4.5m starter. I'm happy to take the punt an play him in the green fixtures. That price enables funds elsewhere.

                Surely Chelsea won't go all season without a clean.

    17. Ci Siamo

      Sterling or Kane captain?

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Kane since you still have him.

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        If you have Kane he is captain for the next 3, its why you have him. Wreck those who dont

      3. My heart goes Salalalalah

        I’ve got Jota over Abraham this week - pray for me

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I have Jota too

          1. TheDragon
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            All I want is a hattrick at home to Watford. Is that too much to ask

        2. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Rather Abrahams all day long.

          1. TheDragon
            • 6 Years

            Agreed (after this week)

      Does Madison being out of the Newcastle game make Vardy a less attractive option?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        no

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Less for sure.

      3. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Only a bit. But Newcastle very probably will be dogged as f@#$ so could be tricky even with Maddison.

      4. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes

      5. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Might start making Perez an attractive option lol

      6. Party time
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Sometimes Maddison holds on to the ball too much & kills the attack so it is a wait & see thing but I don't think Newcastle will be a rollercoaster ride for Leicester, if Tielemans plays further forward then Vardy could be in for a massive return

          1. Party time
              4 years, 8 months ago

              then maybe*

            • 7 Years

            I would say so yes

          3. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Absolutely. Maddison is their best player

            1. Party time
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Remove Maddison from leicester & Perez/ Tielemans could easily fit in. Remove Vardy & who fits in?

            2. Shineonme
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I'd say so

              He’s a poor mans Lundstram

          5. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Defenders who get subbed on don’t get a CS do they? Like if a defender comes on in the 90th minute and the game finishes 0-0 how many will the player get?

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              1 point, they have to complete 60 with cs intact

            2. THFC4LIFE
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Have to play 60mins or more to get the clean sheet

            3. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              1 point, if not booked.

              Need to play 60 minutes minimum to qualify for CS points.

            4. Pukki Party
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              1. Need to play 60 mins to get a cs

            5. Coys96

              Thanks all 🙂

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                best scenario is subbed of at 61 with cs and then they concede at 62 😀
                Some defender got similar to the recently

                1. Coys96
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Yeah haha 😀

                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  I personally love it when that happens. I feel a sense of relief when my defender gets subbed off with a CS intact. The chances of them assisting/scoring are far less likely than conceding a goal or picking up a yellow/red card

            6. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

              Annoyingly, they do in the Sun game, even it's just for one second.

            7. GreennRed
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              If they're 5-0 on 29 minutes and he plays dubs in and plays the rest of the game and doesn't concede he gets a cleansheet bonus.

            Another week another captain headache, who to go with?

            Sterling, Salah, KDB or Tammy

            1. TheDragon
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Sterling if brave

              Salah/ KDB if safe

              Tammy if living life on the edge

            2. Coys96
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Sterling

              tammy for a cheeky punt !
              salah/kdb/kun/ster etc will be the popular picks,

            4. Shineonme
              • 7 Years
