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.

    Good to go gents?

    Martinez
    Chilwell Coufal Ayling
    KDB Grealish Son Bruno Salah
    DCL Bamford

    4m - Lamptey Mitchell Brewster

    Cheers

      Same as every other team here,so probably ok 🙂

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      8/11 the same as me so good to go I guess... I really need some differentials...

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Did you do your Vardy + Jota to Bruno + Bamford transfer?

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

          Yes. It made too much sense.

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You and I have pretty much identical teams, only difference being you have Coufal +Ayling to my James + Lamptey. I would like to think you are GTG with KDB captain

      Thanks lads

    2 FT up my sleeve to get KDB (c) in. Son & Vardy > KDB & Wilson. Yay or nay?

    McCarthy
    Chillwell - Lamptey - Dallas
    Son - Bruno - Salah - Grealish
    Vardy - DCL - Bamford

    Steer - Soucek - Konsa - Mitchell    

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

      Nay for me. Team is in good shape.
      Maybe burn one transfer on moving Mitchell?

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Konsa over Dallas ?

  3. MikeLowrey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best Jota replacement?

    A) Soucek
    B) Lookman
    C) Foden (punt)
    D) Mount (punt)

    Like Torres but too much of a punt with a weak bench of KWP/Lamptey, Brewster & Mitchell

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

      Soucek safest out of those I think

      Foden the ultimate punt but likely the highest ceiling

    2. Kip
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldnt punt this time of the year. Lookman out of those

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

        Unless you still have the WC. Then i’d go Torres

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

    Foden or Torres for a one week punt?

    1. MoeZe3bi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Torres I think

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Torres

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

      Thinking the same. Cheers

  5. Nate(U)dog(ie)

    McCarthy (Martinez)
    Robbo Zouma Dias (Justin Mitchell)
    KDB Bruno Son Gross Raphinha
    Vardy DCL (Brewster)

    Was trying to find a way to get Salah in after Vardy > Ings next week but seemed like it would take too much work and not really be doable unless I got rid of KDB/Bruno/Son. Figured a bit of a workaround though

    Robbo, Son, Vardy > Taylor, Salah, Kane (-4)

    Leaves me with 0itb but I can downgrade Raphinha / Gross to sort out Mitchell. Is this a no brainer? I've not had Salah all season but the Jota injury is making me think he's as important as ever as he's even less likely now to be benched for a while. I really want Ings especially for the next few fixtures but I could even try work my way to him through DCL in a few weeks by downgrading a mid/def.m

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

      Keep, I think you have a great team

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, you really think I don't need Salah?

  6. MoeZe3bi
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Choose one please

    A) Salah>Bruno (just for the upcoming 2 GWs then I’ll get Salah back)
    B) Mahrez+DCL>Bruno+Welbeck
    C) None

    1. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

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

    Do you see any flaws or have some transfer-ideas?

    McCarthy
    James Zouma Targett
    KDB Bruno(c) Mahrez Grealish
    Vardy DCL Watkins

    Forster Soucek Coufal Lewis

    0.6 itb, 1FT

    1. MoeZe3bi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Save

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Save ft

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

      Save but seems you'll have some bench points from those West Ham lads.

      Coufal for Targett maybe?

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

        Yea it's a bit of a headache, but it's good to have a good bench in case of injuries and postponements.

  8. RealSocialDads

    GTG?

    Mccarthy

  10. Pep Roulette

    GTG? Plan is Jota to Torres for free.

    McCarthy
    Robbo Lamptey Dallas

    Button Anguissa Mitchell Ferguson

    1. RealSocialDads

      1. Pep Roulette

        Cheers mate

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

      You’re a lucky guy since you could upgrade Jota to a decent player.

      I’m dealing with scraps here. See my post below

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

        Haha cheers man

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

    Who’s the best option for the next three GWs

    A. Cavaleiro
    B. Lookman
    C. Gross
    D. Eze
    E. Neto
    F. Podence

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A OOP and on pens

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gross but not overly excited by any of them

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    4. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      probably the order you've already listed them in.

    5. HNI
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Order is correct

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

      Gross imo

  12. HNI
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Worth doing Bruno to Son and get back Son for Fulham onwards? If I save I will get double Spurs for Lei Wolves which can work both ways

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

      If you have no value tied up in son I would say yes. Otherwise, no.

    2. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You mean Son to Bruno? I’m confused but I think that’s what you meant. I would, but you absolutely want Son back for wk 16

  13. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which scores more ?
    A Salah & Bruno(C) or
    B KdB(C) & Bruno-4 for the transfer Salah to KdB

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

      I have A... considering switching to B.

      I would say B, but selling salah doesn't make sense in my head.

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        True I would like to have all 3 but for now I'll settle for the hokey-cokey

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think Salah may end up getting a goal in the games you least expect him to. It is a home game after all, so I would say A scores more

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'm only thinking about g/w 13 for now
        In the long term I want to accommodate all 3

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

    Best 4.5 defender? To replace Targett/Lamptey with, rolling 2FT otherwise.

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

      I got Taylor.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Taylor

      1. acidicleo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Are lowton and taylor nailed?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Both full backs are nailed

          1. acidicleo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      Villa has some nice fixtures... Why get rid?

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

        Martinez in goals, and the double up hasn’t worked so far 🙁

    4. Kip
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      One of the Burnley lads

    5. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lowton or Taylor @ Burnley good fixtures & only £4.4m

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

      What's wrong with Targett and Lamptey?

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

        Martinez in goals, looking to get off of the double up. Lamptey hasn’t done me any favours as of yet and the 0.2 I could make my downgrading could come in handy.

        Should I just stick with what I’ve got?

  15. SalahFingers
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez (Ryan)
    Chilwell, Vestergaard, Taylor (Lamptey, Mitchell)
    Salah (VC), Fernandes (C), Son, Grealish (Podence)
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    1 FT 0.3 ITB

    GTG? or should I get KDB in somewhere?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      DCL and Son to Adams and KDB?

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

        I see that as 2 downgrades to be honest, at the cost of -4

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Sounds like you are GTG then

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

            Thanks - didn't mean to be negative, but I'll only want Son back straight away and DCL is one of the best value strikers in the game.

            1. fedolefan
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              May be then narrow it down to a few choices yourself instead of posting the entire team and then offering rebuttals to suggestions.

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

                Is your suggestion for me to just accept every suggestion given or figure it out myself? Why would anyone post anything here then?

                He suggested getting rid of almost literally the 2 best players in the game. I didn't even complain and I apologized for appearing negative in my response.

    2. Kip
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      G2G imo.

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

        Cheers

        I want KDB, but it makes no sense for me to remove anyone for him. Might just have to hope for the best.

  16. Kip
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    We’d you prefer as a Jota replacement? Already got Soucek as 5th mid in a 343 who can be rotated.

    A) JWP
    B) Mount
    C) Lookman
    D) Barkley ( already have Watkins)
    E) Podence
    F) Eze
    G) other

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

      E

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      G

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

      I like A

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

      I have Podence and he's only a good replacement if you want someone to bench every week.

      So maybe JWP or Bowen.

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

      Whoever is cheapest

  17. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bench Ayling (NEW) or Soucek (CRY)?

    1. Matsy123
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Soucek

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ayling

    3. Kip
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bench Ayling

  18. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Attack the GW or play safe?
    A) Salah to KDB for free (captain KDB)
    B) Jota, Brewster and Salah to Bamford, Soucek and KDB (captain KDB) for 8 point hit

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

      I’d save and do Jota Brewster=> Bamford Soucek for free next week.

      A) if you must

  19. Matsy123
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you bench boost this?
    4.0 welbeck Lamptey dallas

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

      Sure!

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years

      No

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

    Play Guaita vs West Ham, or Martinez vs Burnley this week?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Martinez

  21. acidicleo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who will you have if you can't have both and why?

    A) Kane
    B) Son

    Cheers..

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

      Son. More cheap striker options not far from each other. But want both regardless

      1. acidicleo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes will look at both..
        But a power mid of Salah KDB Bruno Son Grealish looks very good..

    2. Kip
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A) pens

  22. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bench 1 from Dias, Cresswell, Chilwell and Dallas.

    1. Matsy123
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dallas will autosub anyway if dias rested

    2. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dallas

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dallas easy

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

      Cresswell

    5. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers boys!

    6. Kip
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dallas

  23. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you start:

    a) Reguilion (away vs.Liverpool)
    b) Dallas (home vs. Newcastle)

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. wilsonito
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      b

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

      Both have easy clean sheets so no problems 😉

  24. KDB United
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Should I sell Grealish or DCL to fund a better bench over Xmas period?

    Martinez
    Chilwell Cresswell KWP Taylor (4.0*)
    Salah KDB Bruno Grealish (Bissouma*)
    Kane DCL (Brewster*)

    2 FT and 0 ITB

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

      I’m thinking of chillwell to james

      1. KDB United
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That will allow Bissouma to Soucek. Thanks for the idea! It would I be better getting another playing defender?

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

      for sure you're not gonna sell grealish this gw

      1. KDB United
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I know I brought him in for these nice fixtures but I’ve been punished in the last few weeks by my shoddy bench (multiple Brewster 1 pointers). Would you waste a free transfer instead of changing it around?

    3. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I like your team so wouldn’t be in a rush to change anything yet.

      Probably Grealish and you get milions in difference to spend elsewhere

      Grealish

    McCarthy
    Chillwell, Justin, Lewis
    Salah, KDB(C), 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)
    B) Justin (EVE, tot, MUN) ---> Targett (BUR, wba, CRY)
    C) Kilman (Che, bur, TOT) ---> Targett (BUR, wba, CRY)

    Additional info: I have 3.7 ITB and plan to use my WC on gw15/16 so I mainly care about the next 3-4 gws now.
    I bought Kilman for 4.0 (now 4.3), Justin for 4.5 (now 4.9) and DCL for 7.8 (now 7.9)

    Hi guys, I was all set on Bruno captain since it is the last game and he has extra rest, it is an away game and will play 90, compared to KDB who might and probably will get fewer minutes but have watched the FPL Wire and they are all set on KDB captain.

    Any arguments for KDB or Bruno? Who are you going with?

    1. La Roja

      Bruno

      Cos I don’t have KDB 😎

      How do you know that Bruno Will play 90?

      I do like having a captain in back pocket for late in the GW but will make Tuesday City game nervy

        I quite like Bamford this week as C

      Right now I have KDB and I'm comfortable with him as my captain, but I'm considering getting Bruno (see post above), if I do I'd have a rough time choosing the captain, why?
      KDB is due, he is returning and could've returned way more in the last few games
      Bruno is in a very decent form
      Both have the easiest of fuxtures, WBA and SHU are currently in the worst forms of all teams imo.
      So both should get points, but again city and utd have both been unpredictable this season.
      I'm leaning towards KDB, but that's probably because I'm a city fan.
