How Aubameyang compares to other FPL midfielders after positional change

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£12.0m) will be a midfielder in Fantasy Premier League next season following the game’s relaunch.

The move comes about following Aubameyang’s half-season spell on the left flank, with Mikel Arteta’s appointment as Arsenal manager in December signalling a change of role for the Gabon international in the Gunners’ attack.

The reclassification further swells the premium options available to us in the middle of the park, with Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) also making the move to ‘FPL midfielder’ and Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) and Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) rising considerably in price.

How does Aubameyang compare with the other heavy hitters after his positional switch, then?

Our Members article below delves into the data.

      Assumed they were just testing it works properly but could be I suppose

      Reckon they'll be accurate. They got them from somewhere. The season starts soon, I guess they'd have draft fixtures in place by now. Could be waiting for United result to finalise/adjust.

        *Takes auba out of team*

          Not with Calamity Dave in net

      Can't be accurate as they have both Manc teams playing at home

      1. Andy_Social

        No crowd control/policing issues at the moment though.

      Why would you not just put the Manchester Derby on the week one schedule? Move it back to wherever you need to move it and let the rest of the league get on with playing?

      There's already so much congestion in this year's schedule. Why create more games that need to be made up than you absolutely have to?

      How many scheduling conflicts are you really dealing with given empty stadiums?

    Every season I pretty much automatically set up my team for a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2.

    Looking at the lack of value forwards, the number of big-hitting midfielders and great-value, cheap defenders, I can't look beyond a 4-5-1 for this season.

    I'd much rather have someone like Martial/Werner as the sole striker and rotate 4.5 Burnley, Wolves etc defenders than have mid-priced forwards like Wood/Mitrovic/Adams.

    This could change if we have another Ings situation though.

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Could be but i just think strikers are nearest to the goal and that’s where the points are so I am going 352

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think you're wrong. I think the forwards present a lot of value this year now that they're all under 11.0m.

      Remember that 200 points usually will run you like 11m. And the likes of Martial and Werner could easily make that. Add on some very good players like Antonio and Mitrovic coming in under expectations, and there are at least a few good choices in attack.

      I will play 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 for sure.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That's my thinking too, except 4-4-2 and 4-5-1 are the only ways I can squeeze in three premiums in the midfield without unbalancing the team. Hopefully later on can switch to 3-5-2 ot 3-4-3 with better team value.

      2. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well explained, this

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

      Need to find some courage to do that tbh.
      I'm also thinking about that. These midpriced attackers are my doom

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not this simple but - Robbo and Wood vs Werner and 4.5 def - Werner is going to need to start on fire

    5. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm looking at this starting 11:

      Ryan

      TAA, Taylor, Vinagre, 4.5/4.0 defenders (rotating)

      Salah, Auba, KDB, Greenwood, Saint-Maximin

      Martial

    6. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It’s all relative...
      If you want Auba and/or Rashford - you are playing last season 343, now it’s just 352 etc...

    7. zes
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’ve been playing with a few formations and nothing feels as flexible as 343. Every season everyone’s preseason ideas of what makes a good squad goes out the window after 3 or 4 games, so I want to be able to jump on any player that emerges. I think that is easier with 343 than a 451 with 2 non starting 4.5 strikers

      1. Mweene
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good point.

    8. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      For me, the typical reason to play 3-4-3 is the lack of playing strikers at the 4.5 price point. Do we think there will be a starting 4.5 or 5.0 sticker this year?

      1. jaguar shark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It’s just too restrictive to have a bench player that doesn’t play at all.

  2. Amey

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Yesterday after Raz missed that open net chance i came here to post LOL & missed Lyon's 3rd goal 😀

    Reminded me of, if anyone remember Dortmund scored 2 late goals in CL in 12/13 season i guess, I turned off TV thinking they can't and then Boom !

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The worst that I've ever done for that was when Liverpool were 3 up against Palace and drew 3-3 under Rodgers to effectively end their title hopes, I turned off because I was sure they'd won, managed to catch the equaliser at least.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Amazing 😀

    2. Jo Melon
      • 3 Years

      MU in CL final comes to mind.

      1. Amey

        Bloody Hell !

  3. Mornar Bar
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I’m almost there.

    *** 4.0
    TAA Vinagre Dallas 4.0 4.0
    KDB Bruno Salah Greenwood ***
    *** Antonio 4.5

    Pope + Soucek + Ings / Ryan + Puli + Mitro ?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ryan, Soucek and Werner.

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This

      2. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Who is Soucek? As there are no guaranteed 4.5m starters this year, I have gone Saint-Maxim for 5.5 but would love to downgrade him if possible.

        1. JabariParkersEyelid
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Soucek is this year's early FFS darling. West Ham mid with an eye for goal at 5.0

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers! Is he actually going to play?

              yes

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      You can’t say you’re almost there when no fixtures are even announced...

  4. Greek Freak
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    This is a pointless question without fixtures, but...

    Would you rather have Walker-Peters or one of the Leeds wing-backs?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KWP

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Unless they have a horror start I'm probably doubling up on the Leeds pair

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hold those horses !

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Love a defensive double up, especially if capable of attacking returns

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Enjoy the game !
            🙂

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I had Doherty AND Jonny when one set up the other for a goal (also had Patricio CS) it was glorious

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Wow
                !

      2. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Why? Their attacking threat looks encouraging but the hot topic on Leeds' defence doesn't fill me with great confidence they can back it up with consistent clean sheets.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Why are you picking up Auba ahead of anyone ?
          😉

          1. Greek Freak
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Because I'm deluded 😉

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              🙂

          2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Very good point Amey.

            With this logic, nobody should pick auba as hes mor expensive than others and has worse stats.....

        2. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          They are 4.5, can play both, one, or bench both - easy

          And it's my team so I don't have to justify it 😀

          1. Greek Freak
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            You can do whatever you want in your team of course, but normally there is a reason behind the players we pick! 😀

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              He means he is a Leeds fan !

              1. Greek Freak
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                I thought he was a Man City and Liverpool fan!

                1. SADIO SANÉ
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Woah woah hold on there

                  LOL

    3. Bubz

      KWP

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      PL experience leads to kwp ?

      I'm on Dallas atm as people are saying his OOP 😀

      Southampton Don't put me confidence as a CS team tbh. Reason why I'm not going with McCarthy

      1. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I don't know about Southampton. I had McCarthy for a stretch last year and he was ok but not sure they can be an above average defence (for FPL purposes that is) as they are.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Too busy team.
          We need duds like Burnley who know they can't score so don't concede either 😛

      2. Avery
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It looks like he didn’t play many games last season though?

    5. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Leeds, I suppose. It's not beyond Arteta to tidy things up consistently, but I need to see more evidence of it first.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I thought KWP is at Southampton 😮
        Or you are wrong ?

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Oh, blimey - Leeds then. Missed that little nugget.

          1. Drexl Spivey
            • 5 Years

            Was thinking AMN, btw. Doh.

            1. Greek Freak
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              😀

              I wonder whether he'll end up somewhere else - rumours that he might be leaving Arsenal.

              1. Drexl Spivey
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Literally about seven clubs linked.

            2. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              😀

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          He is... And Arteta isn't coaching Saints, but we all make mistakes 😉

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I do expensive mistakes 😆

    6. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fixtures will probably decide for me.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That's the best reply I think!

  5. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Notwithstanding the horror open goal miss, I thought Sterling looked really good last night. Very tempted to start the season with him

    1. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling will be a good pick again, and mostly overlooked because of KDB.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Him and KDB too?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Depends on fixtures but I’m thinking I will pick Sterling over KDB

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

      Your post says about him.
      He's all poo no sh.t 😆

      Stats don't give us points. Can het him if he's looking dangerous scoring form again. But i like what KDB offers for that price. A double up can be considered if fixtures are amazing though

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He produced a ridiculous amount of points at the end of last season so I don’t think it can be said that hes all poo no sh!t. He’s one of the most explosive players in the league

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          He produced sh.t at the start of the season too.
          He was the reason i had bad start. I'm biased !

          As i said can double up with KDB if fixtures are amazing. But he's not that great asset in FPL or real life that everyone think he is.

          1. Greek Freak
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            You're just blinded by that miss yesterday. He's not a big-game player but he'll still bang in hat-tricks vs. the likes of Fulham or West Brom.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I had him for fist 10 gw's of last season which is making me think twice before getting him 🙂

              1. Greek Freak
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                You had him for his opening day hat-trick then!

                1. Amey
                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Yes

                • 13 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Similar for me, I kept captaining him.

                1. Amey
                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  You know my pain 🙂

            2. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Not saying I would never pick him. Saying I'm circumspect about his finishing skills. Which does affect output right ?
              Imagine Kun getting so many chances 😀

          2. Bubz
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            The key to Sterling is to get him in when he is in top form. He is in top form right now. Its clear to see. Again, notwithstanding that freak miss

    4. altan8797
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I always loved having both sterling and kdb, but auba's reclassification made everything a bit harder for me. I'll decide when they announce the fixtures

    5. Fit of Pique
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I intended to start the season with Sterling over KDB, but KDB's ownership makes me think it's too risky not to start with him.

      And don't think I'll try and squeeze both in unless City have extremely good fixtures and Liverpool and Arsenal have horrible fixtures

  6. have you seen cyan

    is Ritchie nailed?

    1. CONNERS
      • 5 Years

      Played the last 4 so pretty much. A lot will depend on transfers though...

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty much, but still... kills it a bit now.

    When is Kev expected to start his paternity leave?

    1. Zimo

      When his baby is here

  8. LangerznMash
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So many £4.5m defenders that I thought would have been £5.0m
    Ayling, Dallas, Taylor, Saliba, Vinagre, Justin
    You can almost enable 5 premium mids/forwards using these.

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

      you get what you pay for tho. It seems good, but dont expect many points at the back. People putting a lot of faith in Leeds defence.
      Plus those last 4 arent even guaranteed to start, Vinagre pretty much is and Taylor but both could lose their places.

        The last two especially look good - 4.5 players for elite defences.

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Certain amount of safely in numbers here. If you get 4 x 4.5s you only need to field two at once. That makes fixture/form rotation easier and allows for one "duff" choice anyway.

        I'd add KWP as a likely candidate.

        Thought the analysis from Hedge was that there is certainly some mileage in looking at one 4.5 rotation ahead of a premium using season value as a guide. You get what you pay for applies less at the back than in the middle.

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Got to a set up with 5 players over 9.0 using this. Didn't really look that unbalanced and it had a first bench anyway

    Hello guys. Are there any money leagues that I could join?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Can you tell me one so that i can report ?
      😉

    2. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeb, it's called fanteam

  10. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    To what extent does initial ownership dictate price fluctuations in the short term anyway? Is it the case that if the player is very highly owned early on then it becomes harder for him to rise and fall significantly?

    Wondering here mostly about KdB. If he starts at 60% or is does that more or less lock his price in for a while or mean that it won't vary much? By contrast are the United assets with very low ownership numbers more likely to rocket?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Early price drop for KDB when Auba and Raz bang in hattricks GW1

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That didn't address your question 😀

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        The fall certainly feels more likely than a rise if he's already close to 60% - locking 11.5 in almost as his ceiling early on. But maybe that's misunderstanding how price changes work.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          And we have no idea if KdB is going to play first game. Or at least I don't.

        2. JabariParkersEyelid
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          That comes down to potential injuries which slow price drops. Say KDB goes down for 3 months he might only drop .2, but when he's back his value could rocket.

          If he doesn't get injured you'd think there will be minimal price fluctuation.

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KDB will likely not see much variation all year imo.

      I think Werner is a prime candidate to see significant price drops if he doesn't start on fire, given his very high ownership at this embryonic stage.

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      High ownership means more sales are required for a drop. But there is more scope for a lot of sales because there are a lot of owners available and ready to sell. I think in general it doesn't matter whether a player is highly owned or not initially, they still need the same % of owners to ship for a drop as someone not quite so highly owned.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        So many players creates team at the start of the season & leaves them alone which acts like zombies though ?
        Am i right ?

        Hence the players which aren't in template if early season tend to have more price volatility ?

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep

        The drop looks plausible especially if another supermid fires with lower ownership. The rise though looks as if it can only follow a drop if his ownership is so massive.

        I'm wondering about VVD last season here. He started and ended the season as easily the highest owned defender. I'm thinking that was largely a function of casual ownership early on when he was value. Could the same happen with KdB? Lots pile in early, forget the game and help "lock" his price simply because a disproportionate number of his owners have no interest in how he does as they're playing Starcraft instead 🙂

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It makes huge impact IMO.
      10% of Overall ownership generally makes those prices tick right ??

      Might be a case of United assets having a very volatile season then as they won't be available in GW 1 at least ?

  11. LangerznMash
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My initial squad has turned out most unexpected. 3 players from Arsenal and Villa... no Man City!

    1. altan8797
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      good luck on your second draft 🙂

      1. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        lol

  12. LangerznMash
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Brewster to be this season's Greenwood? Looks like Origi going out on loan.

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Greenwood was essentially nailed on tho. Brewster won't even come close to that.

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mane Salah Firmino a tad harder to break into than a front 3 including Dan James.

      1. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        True, Origi played half the minutes that Greenwood did last season. So maybe expect Brewster to get similar, however would expect him to get more goalscoring chances due to Liverpool's attacking threat.

    3. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A few cameo goals 1st half of the season then earn a place if an injury comes along - not impossible

    4. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I had Brewster in my 15 in my first draft last year. He'd been doing so well in the friendlies, and was on penalties in several of those I think. He of course did not get a chance at all in the league. Don't think the time at Swansea did him any good.

      1. Mweene
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Getting regular first-team football and playing well and scoring goals didn't do him any good?

        1. CroatianHammer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Do you think he's going to get 1200 minutes total with LFC this season? I wouldn't think so. Is that progress for a player like him? Others were kept in the U23s and saw cup games.

  13. altan8797
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    how do you feel about Kane? I cant remember the last time he was valued under 11M. could he be of good value?

    1. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Because both him and his team have regressed. Fair price imo, likewise for Aguero who is old and rotation prone. They'll be good for when they go on their runs, but not season keepers by a long stretch

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

        Is Kun really rotation prone?

        Just looking at his "blanks" the overwhelming majority appear to come in long stretches thanks to injuries or either side of them when he was getting back to full fitness.

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He was the first name in most people's GW38+ FH team. I reckon he doesn't scream value when you ignore fixtures but a decent start could bring him into the conversation

      1. A-L
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Also Kane classically absent for the first few GWs

    3. thegame983
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Never under estimate the misery of Mourinho.

    4. Loftus cheeky nandos
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Too many premium options i want in midfield doesn't fit him in

  14. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Surprised to see Fulham's Joe Bryan at 5.0m. Any reason why he should be 0.5 more than Ayling/Dallas?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      PL experience ?

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      One season in the PL playing for a relegated side hardly shouts Premier League pedigree, especially given the alternatives on offer at that price.

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Scored two in play off final and that’s probably it really

    4. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The 2 goals in the Playoff final added the 0.5 to his price imo

    5. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Championship final is probably the only EFL game the interns at FPL watch.

  15. Muller Reus Corner
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How's my first draft looking?
    Ryan, Nyland
    TAA, Doherty, Taylor, Dallas, Justin
    Salah, KDB, Son, Greenwood, Romeu
    Werner, Mitrovic, Davis

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bench probably a bit thin. I'd consider some of the 8-10m midfielders instead of Salah/KDB as can only captain one, and beef up the bench

  16. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone going without TAA and just rotating Taylor, KWP, Salina, Justin, Vinagre. You can use the 3mil to upgrade elsewhere.

    I'm targeting premium mids and 8.5-9mil forwards.

    1. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      All about whether those 9m forwards can outscore their cheaper counterparts by more than TAA can outscoure your 4.5m rotation.

      Tough call - you know you're getting 200+ points from TAA (barring injuries).

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Can we say same about VVD Robbo & Doherty ?
        Maybe 180 season ?

        1. Greek Freak
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Probably - I don't think I'd expect any less from the two Liverpool guys. Doherty could surpass that too if you consider that Wolves had an awful start to last season with their EL commitments and then lost Boly for a while, and still scored 167.

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

            Doherty had 90 points from week 25 on in 14 weeks. That is TAA territory plus. 🙂

          2. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers

    2. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Thing is I'd fancy TAA to outscore those premium mids and forwards

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

      No chance. For me, the only difficult decision is who else to fit around him.

    Aubameyang is only remotely worth £12M against opponents rated 2 or less in FDR. And at home. Against opponents rated 3 or more, or on the road against all opponents), he averaged 5 or fewer points per game last year. Thus I completely agree with the assertion in the article that Auba is only good for specific flyers. Over a longer run of fixtures he is minus EV versus many other MID options, including Fernandes, KDB, Salah, Son (£0.7 price drop is a gift), Rashford (if he's on pens), Mahrez (when he plays), and Greenwood (if you think his post restart form as a starter will continue). Yes you're getting MID points for Auba this year (+11% versus his points as a FWD last year), but you're paying over £1M more than his ending price last season for them (+9%), so he's barely better EV than he was last year, which wasn't great. Too many better options IMO at his price range.

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Completely agree, wait for the form and fixtures combination

      Nketiah could be interesting if Laca leaves.
