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.

    Which combo is better for next three GWs

    A. Cavaleiro, Reece James
    B. Lookman, Dias

    Please consider rotation risks when responding

    2. Alan_T

      A

    3. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Please state reasons if possible

      1. BeWater
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Lookman to me just seems a better player than Cavaleiro. With Dias I think City have a long run of good fixtures and look defensively very solid with 2 DMs in every game regardless of opposition. I can't see Dias missing out too much.

        1. Tcheco
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Exactly this

  3. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Jota and Mitchell -> Stones and Benhrama +.1 ( great for my bench)
    Jota and Fofana -> Greenwood and Stones (punt)
    Jota and Adams (would prefer to keep Adams tbh) -> DCL and Lookman

    1 FT 0 ITB

    Martinez
    Chillwell Fofana Targett Mitchell Lamptey
    Salah Burke KDB Bruno Jota
    Bamford Kane Adams.

    1. Alan_T
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

  4. Alan_T
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like I’m ditching DCL for a few weeks.

    Anyone joining me?

    1. andres

      Me too, look just below

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Got rid for ings last week but considering bringing him back against arsenal for vardy if Everton continue to look good

      1. Alan_T
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Feels like we can get away with it whilst fixtures aren’t great. If he only gets 1 return, he struggles for bonus

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, to be honest I was surprised how good they looked against Chelsea, if they keep that up I’ll get him back

    3. gart888
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I wish I had the luxury to consider ditching DCL. Need to put out a Jota fire instead. 🙁

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Did it last week

    5. Hint
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Already done to help fund Ziyech to Salah last GW

  5. andres
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    No spurs and no Grealish... and obviously there is the JOTA problem

    McCarthy (forster)
    Chilwell James targett (coufal mitchell)
    Kdb bruno salah soucek (JOTA)
    Bamford DCL adams
    1. Ft, 2.2

    A. Jota to Grealish (and worry how to get spurs attacker later)
    B Jota to Lookman (and DCL to Kane next GW)
    C Jota to up to 6.8 (and DCL/Chillwell to Kane/Dier next GW, -4)

    1. andres
      • 12 Years

      Anyone?

    1. OleBall

      No no no

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Fixtures aren't there but I like Eze.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years

      Not a bad call, not great fixtures but on set pieces and a decent threat

    1. Camzy

  9. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Transfer which one in first?

    A) James (wol)
    B) Taylor (avl)

    The other will be next week...

    1. andres
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They are just guessing

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Hope they are right though, I’ve had a punt on Foden

      2. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, but still gives me second thoughts on getting in Dias... He will be ofc rested at some point, question is when

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No Cancelo, Dias, Jesus and Mahrez...

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

      God it's really hard to pick the lineup for this week. 9/11 last week (got Walker and Fernandinho wrong).

      I'm gonna go with:

      Ederson
      Walker Dias Laporte Mendy
      Rodri Gundogan KdB
      Mahrez Torres Foden

      But I'm very unsure so this could be wildly wrong.

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

      Everything would be different had Mahrez taken the chance he had vs. Utd....

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

        Proper miffed...

  10. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    2 FT and 0.0m itb. Any obvious changes to be made here?

    Martinez
    Chillwell Cresswell KWP
    KDB Salah Son Grealish
    DCL Vardy Bamford
    P-F Lamptey Stephens Mitchell

  11. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Son & Adams or Gross & Kane

  12. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Slowly leaning away from KDB to Bruno (c) for this GW.

    Bruno's getting most of his points away and Sheffield are absolutely dire this season.

    Slight chance KDB is rested or has reduced minutes too.

    1. Parsnips
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeh might do as well

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’ve gone with Bruno

    3. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bruno has as much chance to be rested as KDB.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not after that West Ham game surely.

        That'll probably be his rest before Ole runs him into the ground over Xmas.

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not after what happened last time

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

      KDB 2 home games Vs WBA. 1 Goal + 1 Assist in each of them...
      Anyway I'm gonna sell him for Bruno this or next gw and captain him

  13. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Soucek for the bench, or 4.5 mil mid and 0.5 in the bank?

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

      Soucek for the bench. Could come handy in the coming weeks.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I've gone with Romeu.
      Extra money can be good, and he's always on the bench.

  14. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I’ve 2FT but not sure what I want to do with them yet. Thinking I’ll just make a minor change with 1 of them, and then reevaluate next week.

    Who should I sell this week?
    A) Lamptey
    B) Targett
    C) other
    D) nobody

    On basis of A or B, who is best 4.5 defender?
    1) Coufal
    2) Alioski/Cooper
    3) Fuchs
    4) Lewis
    5) Clyne
    6) other

  15. gart888
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    a) Jota + Kane to KDB + Adams for a -4 hit
    b) Jota to Anguissa and bank money
    c) Jota to Bowen and use him.

  16. It’s gonna Ben Mee

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

      I’d punt on Torres this GW if I had my WC

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years

        I'm considering the same

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years

          Nope

          1. Totti
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            vardy jota-> bamford kdb -4
            or
            jota -> torres one wek punt

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

              Jota to Torres. I'm probably doing the same move!

  19. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance Bruno doesn't rises today?

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      i think he will

  20. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    a) Transfer now:
    Guaita vs West Ham > Martinez vs Burnley

    b) or wait til next gameweek:
    Guaita vs Liverpool > Martinez vs West Brom

  21. southcoastbeast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Martinez
    Chilwell, Zouma, Bednarek
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Son, Grealish
    DCL, Bamford

    (Steer, Brewster, Kilman*, Mitchell*)

    With only Brewster on the bench would you:

    A) Take a hit for Kilman & Mitchell -> Taylor & 3.8
    B) Save FT and do A next GW for free (and hope everyone starts!)

    Assuming B.

    Team look OK or should I make Jota a priority to replace? Would bench definitely bench and replace next GW but slightly concerned that he'll drop in price

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      He was taking off the early at the weekend. If he starts, it could be profitable

    2. Oggle22
      • 7 Years

      I've got him and was debating transferring him out worried he won't start!
