Can Soucek command a starting place in FPL squads this season?

Tomas Soucek (£5.0m) could compete with a number of mid-priced midfielders for a starting place in Fantasy Premier League teams this season.

The West Ham man finished the 2019/20 campaign in relatively encouraging form, scoring three times across the final nine Gameweeks and averaging 4.1 points per matches.

Those three strikes could easily have been added to as Soucek developed a real eye for shots during the Project Restart period.

A nailed-on route into West Ham’s midfield, the Czech Republic international could continue his assault on opposing goals in 2020/21, which makes him an interesting prospect compared the £4.5m assets and even some £5.5m options.

To assess his true Fantasy worth, we have examined Soucek’s underlying statistics from the final nine Gameweeks of 2019/20. As this uses Opta data, only those with a valid Fantasy Football Scout subscription can access it in full.

What is Soucek’s average position?

    The race is on to see which 4.5 defender rotates best with Tommy Soucek

      You don't rotate Soucek...

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        They wont rotate him if he is priced 6m

      It'll be fun dodging Soucek's goals 🙂

      Leeds are predicted to finish like 13th this season. Not a plum fixture, especially with Bielsa and his disciplined system. I don't expect them to get smashed.

      Why

      1. ElliotJHP
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Fulham then West Ham, the only time you'd want the man.

        Was slightly tounge in cheek with the speed of fixtures dropped but no city and I'll switch to him

    No United or City GW1

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

        At all? Or they play midweek as part of gw1

      • Srv210
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good for my balance for gw1 as I have Aubameyang

      • Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Or Villa & Burnley

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Champions Liverpool will begin the defence of their Premier League title against newly-promoted Leeds United at Anfield.

        The other two newly-promoted sides begin the season at home, with Fulham hosting London rivals Arsenal and West Brom taking on Leicester.

        Manchester City's opening fixture is against Aston Villa, though the game will be rescheduled because of City's involvement in Europe. The same applies to Manchester United's opener against Burnley.

        Chelsea and Wolves' opening games are both scheduled for Monday, 14 September after going out in the quarter-finals of Europe.

        The Blues are at Brighton, while Wolves go to Sheffield United.

        The other fixtures are Crystal Palace v Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur v Everton and West Ham United v Newcastle United.

    10. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      So it's pretty much double Liverpool defence vs double Liverpool attack.

    11. bitm2007

      So are Burnley v Manchester United and Manchester City v Villa off or are they going to be played in midweek ?

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Off, they will have a double gameweek later

    15. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      With Pool's opening 6, I'm thinking of Salah out and Auba in.

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

        After the first 2 GW's, Arsenal's matches are quite tough until GW8, actually

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Team name Plummet FC?

      3. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Sorry guys I meant KDB potentially instead of Mo. And yes on review, Arsenal's fixtures do look tough but anything can happen in this crazy league, eh?

    19. Holmes

      For some reason, those fixtures looks better for Mane

    20. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      1. Pompel

        3 years, 8 months ago

        He only looked good for 4GW's last season, after which I got him for a long walk in the desert. Never again.
