How to use teams’ specific weaknesses to pick the right FPL assets

2,522 Comments
Share

Despite selling Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) for a hit on Friday, Gameweek 12 turned out to be a pretty good one for me.

After taking my second minus four of the season to accommodate Mohamed Salah (£12.3m), I returned a total of 70 points and as a result, now sit 202,736th overall, with my Wildcard still intact.

So, as focus turns to Gameweek 13, I’m going to have a look at where teams have been conceding most of their chances from this season, in the hope of identifying one or two transfer targets for the Christmas period. 

I’ll then have a closer look at some of the players who stood out, and also discuss plans going forward.

WHERE TEAMS CONCEDE THE MOST CHANCES FROM

Using data from the Premium Members Area, I’ve had a look at where each team is most susceptible to conceding chances. This is something I like to keep track of during the season, in an attempt to find out which fantasy options can exploit those weaknesses.

    Jota out...Soucek ok to rotate with 4th defender? Could you the cash to get Son for Grealish when it gets tougher for Grealish.
    Other option is Maddisson or Zaha but then will be harder to get Son or Kane except losing big hitters.
    Whats the plan?

      Would take that as a KDB and Dias owner.

      Would prefer Mahrez over Torres as feel KDB can provide assists for Mahrez moreso than Torres and Mahrez more likely to win KDB a penalty than Torres.

      But KDB starting would be enough for me. 😀

      I can see Foden/Bernado starting instead of Sterling. Mendy for Cancelo and Laporte for Stones.

      These don't weaken the starting XI and should get the result against WBA, while reting players for the more difficult Soton game.
