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 hate my team right now.

      Hit Post too soon there.

      Do I go for bench fodder which allows me to upgrade Vardy to Kane in 2 weeks?

      Completely lost for ideas so any help appreciated.

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

        Do you want to play Souchek as your 4th mid every week? Also, how much money ITB.

        1. primal33
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          Ideally no

            Zaha is probably the best mid above Jota's price.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Trade Jota out. Happy to help.

        For who? I don't know where to go long term is the problem.

        Id like Son but it looks like he's 3 or 4 transfers away.

        1. The Knights Template

      A

  6. Narboa

    Next 2 GW, Keep Vardy or Kane?

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

      Kane

    2. MikeS
      • 9 Years

      Flip a coin

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      I’m doing Vardy > Kane next GW

  7. MikeS

    Martinez
    Zouma-chillwell-verstergaard-(justin-mitchell)

    Bamford-DCL (Brewster)

    1. Gunners in Haaland

      Great team

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years

        Thanks mate

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      It has Brewster

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

        On the bench

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          An attacking slot disappears

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

            And so does a rotation headache

  8. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…

    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)

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

      Just save mate

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      "Save"

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

      Tough tough choice here. A is obviously the ballsy move, but DCL has been a reliable point getter so you will need 2 returns from Fernandes to likely make a profit.

      I would play it safe and get rid of your weak link so C. (If this .2 or .3 doesn’t cost you being able to get Bruno later for your A option)

  9. STONEROSES

    I ended up with Watkins and Dallas on my bench (don't ask lol) - would you bench boost with those two being the only bench contributors and good fixtures this week?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      No way

    Just one more burning question left...
    For next 6 to 8 game weeks Fabianski or Martinez ?

    I own Targett so leaning towards Hammers goalie.

  16. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best 1 or 2 week punt for under 10m for Jota?

    I have Grealish, Son, Bruno in midfield...

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

      Rashford

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

      Rash for a punt

    3. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      City mid

  17. andres
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    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)

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

      A

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

      That team can cover spurs attack

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

    Which do you recommend thank you.

    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. Kip
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The latter

  19. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Keep FT and GTG? Or Robo to City def?

    Martinez
    Robo/Chilwell/Dallas
    Salah/Bruno(c)/Son/Grealish
    Vardy/DCL/Bamford

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

      Keep Robertson

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

    Who will likely make way when Mitrovic returns? I’m assuming Cavalleiro will lose OOP and pens

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Should be Mitrovic on current form

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

      I doubt he loses either!

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

      Mitrovic was dropped before injury, don't think anyone makes way.

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

      Not sure he will get in the team

    5. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cavaleiro has been really good, didn't know he was listed as a mid. I think he has taken Mitrović spot in the first XI. Great value...

  21. houghmagandie
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who should be my third defender?
    1. Balbuena (CRY)
    2. Justin (EVE)
    3. Lamptey (ful)

    1. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1

  22. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez

    Keane Chilwell Dallas

    Salah Son Grealish Lookman

    Vardy DCL Bamford

    Areola JWP Semedo Lamptey

    1 FT 1.0 ITB No WC

    Best option for this week

    a) keep FT
    b) Vardy > Kane
    c) Salah > Fernandes
    d) b and c (-4)
    e) Salah & Son > KDB & Fernandes (-4)

  23. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Jota injury is so annoying. It means I'll have to go another GW without Bamford.

  24. Gunners in Haaland

    Good to go?

    Martínez
    Chilwell | Cancelo | Cresswell

      Vardy is Bamford, apologies

    2. Warby84

      Very nice

      1. Gunners in Haaland

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

          I would play Jesus though

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

            I'm tired of Jesus. It was a bad decision bringing him in...

    Is balbuena nailed?

  26. Dog and Fox
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    KWP, Adams -> Taylor, Bamford for fred?

    Taylor rotates with Coufal

    Think this is a nobrainer, right?

    1. Dog and Fox
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Fred = free

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe just Adam's to Bamford? KWP is good option

  27. balint84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Under 5.5 forward? Probably for bench but 1st slot

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

      Welbeck is great.

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

      Wellbeck but he came off early

      Decordova maybe

  28. Jdpz

      Nice, good to a few non-spurs teams.. I honestly think they will slightly regress.. I certainly think their are plenty of players who can cover their points..

      1. Heisenberg W. W.
        • 3 Years

        Planning on getting Son post Xmas fixtures. Probably downgrade a striker and swap for grealish
