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

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.

      RMT has the answer.
      What score Pool vs Spurs decides.

    Roll FT?

    Martinez
    Chilwell Zouma Cancelo
    Mo Bruno(c) Son Grealish
    DCL Vardy Bamford

    Bench: Vestergaard Soucek Lewis
    1 FT, 0.3m ITB

      Roll and hope KDB is quiet.

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

    I have two teams (don’t ask) very different but surprising on similar points.

    My main team I’ll go with KDB (c) but in my other team (where I have KDB and Bruno) do I (c):

    1. KDB again (better fixture)
    2. Bruno (more rest)

    Cheers

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2. More rest and better fixture

    2. noquarternt

      I wouldn't admit to that around here if I were you

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Great discussion on the previous page for KDB and Salah rotation

    1. Dain Bramage
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Never bench them boys

  7. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    McCarthy
    Robbo Chilwell Coufal
    KDB Bruno Grealish Jota
    Kane Dcl Bamford

    4.0 Dallas Lamptey Bissouma

    2FT and 0.8itb . Any ideas? Thinking just Jota out right now.

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota to Zaha imo

      1. ooooo
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        A bit scared without salah though

  8. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    McCarthy
    Chillwell, Justin, Lewis
    Salah, KDB, Soucek, Grealish
    Bamford, DCL, Vardy
    Subs: Steer, Anguissa, Kilman, Feurgeson

    1 FT... wwyd?
    A) "DCL" + Anguissa ---> Brewster + "Bruno" (for a hit to play Bruno instead of DCL, zero value is tied to dcl)
    B) Justin (EVE, tot, MUN) ---> Targett (BUR, wba, CRY)
    C) Kilman (Che, bur, TOT) ---> Targett (BUR, wba, CRY)
    D) Lewis (lee, FUL, mci) ---> Targett (BUR, wba, CRY)
    E) Mccarthy ---> Martinez ( I think he'll get way more points over the next 3, then I play the wc chip)

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years

    OK it comes down to:

    GET:

    A) Che Adams
    B) Wellbeck

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A. Welbz isn't really dat guy anymore

    3. northernmuppet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    4. Reckoner
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I guess it's settled then; Che it is!

  10. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Jota > Cavaleiro done. Can't wait until Soucek scores.

  11. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    a) Jota > Foden
    b) Jota > Torres
    c) Jota & Kane > Bruno & Adams (-4)
    d) Jota & Kane > Bruno & Wilson (-4)

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B if you have a decent 1st sub. C otherwise

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I did B and I feel pretty good about it

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

    Is Ferran Torres likely to start against WBA?

    1. nimbin_headers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That i would like to know what about mahrez sterling?

  13. Parsnips
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So who is everyone captaining?

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

      I think there will be a tonne of KDB or Bruno questions

  14. tbhogal
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guys is Welbeck worth a punt over the next few games ??

    1. northernmuppet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Price and fixtures look good so if you need the funds elsewhere yes.. if not go Bamford or Watkins

    2. nimbin_headers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dont think so. Much better options

    3. Puncheon Guly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I've brought him in to rotate with Soucek. No doubt he'll get injured but I'll just have to deal with it

  15. northernmuppet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A) DCL / Bowen
    B) Brewster / Son

    A) gives me strength in depth.. B) gives me a big 5 mid of KDB/Salah/Bruno/Grealish/Son

  16. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Gtg???

    Fluttering at captain as I think Torres starts and we smash it!

    Martinez
    Robbo Chilwell Coufal
    Son Salah(v) Grealish Torres(c) Mahrez

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        1. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I think he will start after the derby... But very brave, not sure I would go near personally

        2. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

    1. northernmuppet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can you downgrade Robbo to get Bruno?

      1. DagheMunegu
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Bruno for shoy?

        1. DagheMunegu
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Who ?

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks like It's either hokey-cokey with Salah or Son & Robbo to Bruno & ... (not sure sell values but someone like James)?

      1. DagheMunegu
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Would you save instead ?

        1. Bram
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I'd prob go the Son & Robbo route - not convinced Pool FB worth it without VVD. They are still good but not 2m better than Chelsea options.

          In fact I guess I have - don't own Son (have Kane) - have 2 Che defs

  20. Meme2011

      Yes

  21. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

    Soton in ECL would be something

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Let's think about that at a later date, shall we 😉

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They're playing some nice footy atm.

      1. Gabbiadini

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That's how I have it.

  23. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Rival has 60 points more than me and he wont have KdB vs WBA. He will C Bruno who i own. Is KdB the way to go?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yessir

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      In exactly the same position

    3. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Point of difference is not always effective, I would punt on this one.

    4. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yes in your case. although he may get KDB in, you dont know

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He wont mate.

        Cheers.

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

      Or you could C Bruno and hope KDB closes the gap on his own without risking falling further behind.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This is good advice..

    What are those with Kilman doing?
    I'm currently holding as I don't see an alternative but is close to dropping.

              Yes.

    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Evening all, so which so we think is my best option after this gameweek???
    A- KDB, Bruno, Son and Kane
    B- KDB, Bruno, Salah and Ings
    C- Salah, Bruno, Son and Kane

    And to raise the 0.6 needed is Chilwell to James an okay move?? Or do Zouma to Coufal or Targett with a view to the doubles and free up a little more cash??
    Cheers everyone!!

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What about Salah, Bruno, Son, KDB?

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I have looked at the mate I must admit, would mean losing Grealish and I’m not sure I want to do that with him having 2 doubles, also I’m not sure I want to have a Watkins in my team as I don’t think he’s reliable enough and I have Bamford or DCL as my other two, definitely an option to consider tho mate thanks for that!!
