How to use teams’ specific weaknesses to pick the right FPL assets

2,522 Comments
Share

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 would definitely not get rid if I had, but I also can't fit him in so it's a wait and see from me. I expect him to start just 1 of the next 2 though.

    Hey guys, FPL Live! is happening right now. Come join us and discuss your GWK 12 highs and lows whilst we discuss the best picks for GWK 13. Rants, gloats and RMTs are welcome.

    https://www.twitch.tv/spearmintspaff

    As usual I am happy to give you a little background on myself and FPL: Laid off due to Covid and spend a lot of time on FPL and streaming as I enjoy it thoroughly. Top finishes – 18th FPL, 25th Sky, 2nd Mirror, 71st Daily Mail and 1st UFPL Monthly (for proof go check out the media section on my Twitter https://twitter.com/SpearmintSpaff). My stream is different to others in the community as we are on Twitch, it's a more community influenced stream and I tend to put my neck on the line with picks rather than loose suggestions.

    TL:DR – I play too much FPL, come join the party on Twitch as we chat about GWK 12 -> GWK 13.
