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.

      I done something similar last week. Sold vardy and got mane -4 for differential (could get salah). Now i am 5th in league.... So, dont try to be maverick if u dont really need that

    2. dang_wood_chuck
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      i say bench needs some work.. i say go for burke to soucek/bissouma to get a real playing bench player.

  4. drughi

    Very tempted by salah>KDB I must say, cant go without city for west brom at home I just cant

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking same. Other options involved hits

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Might work out as well as selling DCL, you never know.

    3. oshsan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same, also considering Stones or Foden but really KDB is where it’s at

  5. PlayUpPompey
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you go with Bowen or Grealish?

    1. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish

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

      Grealish. However, I'm not convinced you need him between G16-G23. Monitor their DGW date.
      Otherwise, if you want the $, Bowen is a shout.

  6. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bellerin to
    A) Coufal
    B) Balbuena + 0.2 mil

    1. Rashers
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Coufal

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks mate

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

          Yep Coufal just, however, it depends how reliant you may be on that 0.2.

          1. CRO KLOPP
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks, right now I don't need it that badly

    2. ooooo

      1. CRO KLOPP

        Cheers

  7. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    For GW 13-15 would you rather have:

    A) KDB (no Spurs)
    B) Son

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

      A

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

      KDB.

    3. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks, think I'll have to come to peace with losing Son for a little while, City's fixtures too good to ignore.

  8. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you start this GW-
    1. Lamptey (ful)
    2. Dallas (NEW)

    1. Rashers
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lamptey for me

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

      A

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

      I'd lean towards Dallas.

  9. 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 . Jota to Zaha and roll other?

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

      Yep, Zaha would seem the best option for 1 transfer.
      How much does downgrading Robbo give you?

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

        Not enough for Salah but depends who i downs grade to

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

          How much does, say a 4.6 option give you?

    2. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes,Zaha is Great value,only fixtures are not so good,maybe Bowen could be Nice pick

        Thsnks

  12. The VAR Team
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What do you think about Mount? Will he keep his place and be involved enough to justify?

  13. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ahhh I can’t decide... differential and go Torres?? Gamble on Aguero or go safe with Salah to kdb

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

      Play safe,

  14. Milk Milk Lemonade
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who to start this gw .... DCL or Bowen.?

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

      Dcl

      1. Milk Milk Lemonade
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I was thinking the same. I brought in Bowen to replace Jota and this was pretty much the only decision left

  15. Mooster©️
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you sell first of Mitchell or Kilman?

    1. The VAR Team
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      kilman

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

      Kilman close to a price drop, Mitchell OK for a while so Kilman if the price drop matters to you

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mitchell for me. I think Kilmam gets his place back if Wolves revert to a back 5, whereas I’m not sure Mitch is even first choice back-up to PVA at present?

  16. dang_wood_chuck
    • 3 Years

    Am I G2G?
    starters:
    Mccarthy
    chilwell, coufal, cancelo
    salah, KDB, Bruno, Son,
    Welbeck, Watkins, Bamford

    BENCH: Nyland, Burke, Ayling, KWP.

    -12 over two wks or a - 8 nxt wk.

    Vardy➡️Kane
    Jota➡️fodder
    Robbo➡️Dier
    Grealish➡️Salah

    Front 7

    Salah/Kdb/Bruno/Soucek
    Dcl/Bam/Kane

    I'm okay with a big hit when there's a quick turnaround in games.

    Defence
    PVA/Dallas/Coufal/Dier

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Got to be honest, not optimal timing for the last two transfers you've listed.

  18. Who are all Lukakus
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any more press conference tomorrow before the deadline?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yes

  19. stefanbkanev
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Though question - Who is the best defender for 4.5 or under? Already have 1 villa and 1 west ham defender.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Scoutcast covered it earlier.

      1. stefanbkanev
        • 3 Years

        Send me link, please.

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        I didn't tune in. Spill the beans? Timestamp? 😉

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          No spoilers, you can see the defender table etc.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Boo. I'm not even making a transfer this GW. Just being cheeky!

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years

              Might need to once the pressers are over.
              You can check out the attackers part instead.

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

      Lewis (on 4 yc though)

  20. AlsoRanLove
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who to play/who to bench?
    Dallas (NEW) V Justin (EVE)
    Mendy (WOL) V Martinez (BUR)

    Currently:
    Mendy
    Justin, Zouma, Cancello,
    KDB (c), Sarah, Grealish, Bruno
    Wilson, Bamford, DCL
    Bench: Martinez, Dallas

  21. Who are all Lukakus
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Robbo Jota to Dias Mahrez for free? Or just Jota to 7.4m mid and save a FT?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota to Torres?

      1. Who are all Lukakus
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Torres has higher chance of starting than Mahrez you reckon?

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe torress up top if Aguero still not fit? Who knows

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

          Yes

  22. Mr.SHaMBLes
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Evening all! Soucek & Cresswell, I need to play one, the other is first sub. Currently Soucek playing. Am I doing the right thing?

    1. robert1116336
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’ve got the same issue between coufal and soucek.

      I’ve gone with coufal on the basis the odds of a West Ham clean sheet 2/1 are better than soucek scoring 200/1.

  23. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A) Kane, Salah, 5.8m(Neto/McGinn/Soucek)
    B) Werner, Mane, Grealish

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A for me

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Asked a couple of pages back who to bench out of Werner and Taylor. Got 3 replies all saying Taylor, but noone alluded to it being a stupid question.

    Conclusion: Werner is a crap pick

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Werner just zips about on his wee motorbike hitting brutal shots every game.

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

      He’s frustrating to own.. should be so much better.. always the fear of a haul when you sell. Perfect candidate for a rage transfer after another blank!

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Luckily I've got just enough in the bank to do Werner to Kane after his 2 pointer tomorrow

  25. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Predictions on City’s front 3?

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

      Sterling Jesus Mahrez

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bilva Delap Foden

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

      Bilva Torres Sterling

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

    Best replacement for Jota:
    A) Soucek
    B) Bowen
    C) Foden
    D) Lookman

    Bowen passed the eye test in recent games but Soucek form and price is likely the winner at the mo.. if only Foden played...

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

      A

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

      A. I did the same. Great enabler. Decent fixtures. DGW upcoming.

    3. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be tempted by Bowen.

  27. fridge
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any ideas here, obviously want KDB or Salah but not sure where to sacrifice... 2FT, 0.3 ITB

    McCarthy
    Chilwell. Dallas. Lamptey
    Son. Mahrez. Bruno. Jota
    Kane. Brady. DCL
    4.0. McCarthy. Taylor. 4.0

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

      Who’s Brady?

      Jota to Soucek helps.. but you likely have to move Son to make room for KDB or Salah

  28. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you swap?

    Mahrez for Grealish or Bruno

    Werner for Giourd or bamford

    Or keep I have 2 free transfers

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

      Bruno and Bam

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If you keep you lose the transfers - Werner out Bamford in

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

      Bruno & Bamford

  29. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Werner to Jesus anyone?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Before he finally hauls?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Oh you tease

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Prob unlikely but it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Torres was preferred, so no, not keen on that move.

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

      Feels a bit sideways.. would rather upgrade to Kane / Vardy or invest in mid and downgrade to Bam / Adam’s etc

  30. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ignore KDB if you have these 7? I need your help...
    Salah Son Bruno Grealish
    DCL Bamford Kane

    *Can have KDB for Salah and then revert for gw15

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

      I have the same front 7 - also trying to decide Salah > KDB for one week only

    2. tinear
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Have the same 7 and ignoring KdB but I too am not too sure about that

    3. oshsan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’ve gone for Stones as City cover. Playing JWP ahead of Bamford too. Could backfire!
