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.

    1. LeSof

      Figure out a way to get rid of Foden

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He’s on my list of things to do but I’m giving him one last chance v WBA

      2. AD2110
        • 6 Years

        He’ll probs start tomorrow tbf

    Looking for inspiration with my 2FTs, probably need to lose either Wilson, Bellerin or Kilman...tho no one really seems appealing in those price brackets.

    McCarthy
    Dallas Coufal Zouma
    Bruno(C) Salah Mahrez Grealish
    Wilson DCL Vardy(vc)

    Forster Soucek Bellerin Kilman

    2FT £1.0ITB

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

      Preferably all three

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

      Bellerin Mahrez to KDB and cheapo?

      1. Evasivo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Cheapo would have to be £2.6m 🙁

    3. Fergiesarmy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bellerin to Stones

  4. Jdpz

    McCarthy
    Chilwell Konsa Tierney
    KDB(c) Son Bruno Grealish(vc)

    [Nyland Bissouma Taylor Justin]
    1ft. 0.5m in the bank; WC available

    a) hold
    b) Tierney to Dias/Walker
    c) Justin to Dallas/Lamptey
    d) Nyland to Ryan

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

      Hold or Tierney to Dias.

  5. inoffthebeans
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Further to the comment above....KDB for triple captain??
    A goal, assist and a few bonuses should do the trick?

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

      Save the chip for DGWs

      1. inoffthebeans
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I always do....but rarely a player has 2 good games!

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

          If thats the case then go for it! Kdb could do well. Personally, I like the DWG for TC but to each their own.

  6. TMF86
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Chances of Foden playing Vs WBA?

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

      Even Pep doesn't know

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

      Wouldn’t risk it with Pep

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

    Mane to KDB(C) for a hit?

    Afraid of rotation & currently have the armband on Bruno

    1. matiakez
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Feels like Mane is so due a return but then how long have we been saying that? Think I'd do it if you have Salah to

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

        Exactly. He looks so dangerous

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

      I’d keep the armband on Bruno. I’m trying to get him in for that very reason

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

        Doesn't feel right getting a player in for a hit & not giving him the armband. Especially with such a plum fixture.

        I think I'll keep it as a last minute decision

    Meslier
    Robbo Chilwell KWP/Dallas
    Bruno (c) KDB Grealish Jota*

    1 - do I start KWP or dallas (leeds def double up)

    2 - jota to soucek?

      1. how now brown cow

        Sorry - this is 2 questions. Which defender and is it a good transfer.

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

          Start Dallss

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

          Arsenal has to score at some point?

          1. how now brown cow
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            I've been thinking that for some time.

            Maybe now they've got one at the wrong end it will give them a clue or something.

  9. matiakez
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is it better to hold the FT here?

    Martinez
    Chilwell Dallas KWP Tierney
    KDB Bruno Salah Grealish
    Kane Bamford

    Bissouma Kilman Brewster

    I want to do Tierney and Bissouma to Dier and Lookman but would be a minus four and Dier's fixture probably isn't worth it?

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

      I’d hold if I were you

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

      I would hold - The moves you listed aren't worth a -4.

  10. Runaway

    Bench 1:

    A) KWP (ars)

    B Jota to Torres

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

    2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't touch Torres

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

      I don't like either tbh - Rather keep Chilwell (Wolves and Arsenal in the next two) both teams that have very little going forward at the moment.

  13. 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. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Stones is not nailed

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

        Ofc.. but I think he gets the West Brom game Newcastle and Everton and plenty after that too

  14. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking Jota to Greenwood, opinions? Got Bruno but think Mason can deliver big time

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

      Torres

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

      It's a risk - if you're ok with a benching then it does have some upside. It's not for me, but could come good.

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Will he be benched tho? Who's safe over the xmas period...

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

      I'm leaning to this. Worst case in a few weeks drop him to Soucek or upgrade to Zaha when the fixtures open

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

      Best young player in the world considering Him too

    5. Podge
      • 13 Years

      Yeh why not

      A

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

        DCL is obv a forward tho

  18. FPL Tikka
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    A) Ziyech, Vardy, Son > Bruno, De Bruyne, Bamford
    B) Ziyech, Vardy, Grealish > Bruno, De Bruyne, Davis (play Soucek)

  19. inoffthebeans
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Give me 3 good reasons why the armband should go to Bruno over KDB (and no, manged minutes is not one). KDB will play enough minutes to pick up big points

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Okay. Is he going to start?

      1. inoffthebeans
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He'll start, don't worry about that

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

      Talisman for team

      On set pieces for a team with a better aerial threat

      Buck teeth

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

        Buck teeth in football + speak Portuguese = Legendary status guaranteed

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

      Plays later in the week and I've got two City players in Mahrez and KDB. Don't want to go all in in City.

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

      Bruno double digit haul in 4 out of 5 away games (Assisted in 45 mins of play in the 5th one)

      He plays Thursday so longest rest

      He has just mentioned going for the title this season 😀

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

        I just talked myself out of bringing in KDB(C)

        Bruno(C) it is

        1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Hahhaa I think you convinced me too. Tho City could be a 6-0 game. Sheffield won't concede more than 3 I guess... City plays home hmmm, back at KDB again lol

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

    Are Gunners allowed spectators?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Don’t think so, time 3 starts Wednesday morning ?

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

        Tier 3

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      No. Only liverpool, everton, brighton, saints outside tier 3 now I think.

    I own Chilwell. Do l get:

    (A) Dias

    (B) James

    Thanks.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      Dias

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years

      A

    3. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I was thinking about doing Chilwell to Dias, actually - then noted that Chelsea have wolves this weekend - think I'll hold for another week 🙂

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

      Either of those two I would consider a good move, especially if you need to free up cash! If not, hold Chilly

  24. Michelle Davin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Mitchell to who?max 4.9

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why??

      1. Michelle Davin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Because he never plays!!

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

          You don't need him though - 2 other bench spots. You're unlikely to need all three bench players.

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

      Stones linda

  25. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Jota to Foden is the obvious move to make this GW

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Lots of love for Soucek here too

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

      I don’t think moving for a player who has 5 points in 5 games is ever obvious

  26. TOLV TUMS
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ooooh, here's one for you: Ryan (FUL away) or McCarthy (ARS away)? Honestly tempted to go with McCarthy, even with Auba back amongst the goals as of the weekend

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

      McC - Southampton are in a better place atm and Fulham have shown signs of improvement.

  27. JONALDINHO

    Do I Save FT or do Mane(Don’t ask)to Salah

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

      Salah is a no brainer for me. Bit sideways but I Salah is my #1 target every year! Set and forget.

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

        That being said, that move could backfire any given week so you have to do it knowing that is the risk.

      I am missing Son and Grealish. Great 7.

    2. Warby84

      Grealish is not ultimate
