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 will captain Bruno instead of KDB just because he plays latter.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      More rest

    2. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      More likely to start as well, imo

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      More rest is the kicker for me. It's very close between them.

    4. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, have been on KDB since GW opened up but leaning to Bruno now myself.

    Rank these assets?
    Raphinha
    Bamford
    Watkins

    Cheers!

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Thank you. Thoughts on Werner + Raphinha > Bamford + Fernandes (-4) then? It would be instead of Werner + Bissouma > Fernandes + Brewster (-4) where I already have Raphinha

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I prefer the Werner and Raphinha to Bamford and Fernandes move.

        2. WE GO FOR IT
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Surely the Werner + Raphinha to Bruno + Bamford.

        3. Nice to Finally Michu
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Thank you both

        5 years, 2 months ago

        This is intriguing to me especially as I intend to bring in Bamford when I wildcard three weeks from now. Watkins has better fixtures until that point.

    5. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers both, probably the former with regards to the transfer I've listed in the comments then

      I feel Raphinha might overtake Watkins over the season but he just hasn't returned enough so far to put him over Watkins.

  4. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    This is my back 3 all.
    James Chilwell Justin

    Is it worth doing Chilwell to Dias? Or anyone else as I have 1.4 in the bank!

    1. CAREFREEE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Why?

      Chilwell is a fantastic asset.

  5. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Son DCL to Bruno Watkins -4 ?

    Yes or no ?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, if chasing.

  6. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Bench one:

    a) Soucek
    b) Wilson

    1. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson

      1. mrelpea
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Tough one, but soucek’s recent form swings it for me

    2. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. 1984 TC
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

    5. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek. Leeds not great at home. Wilson could profit.

    6. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks all. Soucek on the bench.

  8. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    2FT, 0.1ITB. What should I do with this?

    Martinez
    Robbo Zouma Lamptey
    Bruno(c) KDB Son Soucek
    Vardy DCL Adams
    (4.0 Targett Barkley Kilman)

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Barkley to Raphinia, play over Soucek?

      1. stu92
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I have contemplated Raphina. I’m put off by the fact that I’ll want to come off Vardy in a few weeks and upgrade Barkley to Grealish, would he be worth it short term?

        1. Coys96
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          On second thoughts do Barkley to Grealish and downgrade DCL/Vardy/Robbo

          1. stu92
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            This is my plan for the next week or two, to come off Vardy or DCL. Vardy gives me more options cash-wise but I don’t want to come off while he’s returning, and would need to be DCL to a 5.8 striker if I want Barkley to Grealish. Looking to just use one transfer this week and roll the other to next week and hope that my decision becomes an easier one!

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Kilman to Lewis if no other plans

      1. stu92
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Not got the money for that, bought Kilman at 4.0

  9. No Kane No Gain
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Absolutely zero love for sterling this week on here.

    There was me thinking he’d be a great differential...

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He might be

    2. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Doesn't that make him a great differential?

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I hear ya.

    3. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe if he starts, have a sneaky feeling Torres will start next but can be for Jesus as well.

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Can be for Mahrez as well lol

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Because everyone on here had Mahrez for his hattrick

  10. ankj70
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    -4 to make Vardy > Bruno?

    1. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No

  11. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell or Robbo to Diaz or Stones?

    Have the cash for KDB but Mahrez against WBA 🙂

    Bench order correct?

    Martinez,
    Zouma, Chilwell, Robbo
    C Bruno, Son, Mahrez, Grealish,
    Kane, Bamford, Watkins

    Forster, Soucek, Coufal, Lamptey

    3.5 bank

    1. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Diaz
      Soucek annoying but g2g

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Who would you lose?

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I would hang onto Robbo at this point.

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers Chilwell then?
        Double defence is so stressful, James later possibly better points per £?

    3. Kuzser
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Chilwell

    4. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'd lose Zouma instead of Chilwell.
      Keep Robbo. Fixtures are good after Spurs game
      Bench is fine.

    Salah Son KDB Grealish Foden
    DCL Bamford

    Forster Dallas Brewster Ferguson

  13. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    1 FT and 0.1 ITB

    To replace Semedo...

    A) Dias
    B) Targett/Taylor (+1m to upgrade Neco/Mitchell next week)

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If you can play someone over him then save 100%

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        That's the thing, Neco and Mitchell on my bench so no cover really.

        1. Coys96
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Just start Semedo. 2FT are very valuable

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B surely. Having both Neco and Mitchell means you just have 3 defenders. Need to upgrade one of them. Keep the cheaper one.

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah leaning that way, do still have a WC though so can refresh team for Christmas.

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Oh, that's great. But you need at least one sub whe you have a City defender. Anyone could be benched any game.

          1. waldo666
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            This is a very good point, might go for a nailed cheapie, rarely roll with more than one premo defender anyway.

    4. The VAR Team
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Hi fellow Semedo owner. Hope you're alright!
      I might go for Coufal, out of those: Targett

      1. Warby84
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I have Coufal and not overly exciting, think Dias is nailed and City looking great defensively

        1. The VAR Team
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, but he’s got good long term fixtures and will get a double

      2. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate, glad to meet another with the same issue!

        1. The VAR Team
          • 6 Years

          We’re a dying breed 😉

  14. MagicMessi
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Lads who to bench now
    A/Bamford
    B/Watkins
    C/Benteke
    D/Salah and hope it ends 0:0
    ???
    Thanks much cheers!!

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Benteke?

    2. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      C

    3. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      D is a crazy thought??? Absolute madness

      1. MagicMessi
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Not that crazy Mourinho park the bus and Salah has been lucky to return also Regulion is not silly
        Plus that Westham Vs crystal can be a goal fest or not don't know I'm lost been red arrows for a while so maybe you are right !!

        1. Warby84
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Benteke from those

          1. MagicMessi
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks I will eventually

    4. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      This can’t be a serious question surely?

  15. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Ridiculously close benching headache here...which one to bench?

    1) Konsa (BUR)
    2) Wilson (Lee)
    3) Robbo (TOT)
    4) Zouma (wol)

    Clean sheets odds all very close for defenders, all have some attacking threat. Think I’ll play Wilson due to Leeds xGA or BCC

    1. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Konsa or Zouma

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, currently on those 2. Both highly owned defenses so it is quite tough. I suppose benching Zouma makes sense.

        1. MagicMessi
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I was thinking of Konsa more to bench but it's a gamble go with your gut

    2. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      3

    3. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Probably 1 but yes closer than it looks on paper.

    4. The VAR Team
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      1

    5. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Zouma

    6. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Do you have martinez? If so Konsa but its a toughie

  16. Coys96
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Chasing from 3.4 mil

    Did Mane & Jota > Bruno & Rashford (-4)

    No KDB...

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Let’s hope Pep manages Kev’s minutes this GW

    2. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sat at 3M right now. Seen you have 2 great finishes, time for us to turn it around. Do your thing, maybe MU have a hammering in them. Bruno (C) for me

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Good punt on Rashford. I'd cap him over Bruno as well. Not a lot to lose!

  17. The VAR Team
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A) Jota > Soucek
    B) Jota > Bowen
    C) Semedo Jota > Coufal Zaha (-4)

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Can you do Semedo & Jota to Coufal & Grealish?

      1. The VAR Team
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Got Grealish, don't think Zaha is worth it?

    2. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Who will be your 8th attacker? If it's the one you get for Jota, then Soucek. If that's the 7th attacker and you have a 4.5m 8th attacker, Bowen!

      1. The VAR Team
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, none of these will be benched no

  18. Fit_to_drop
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    How long more does Justin keep his spot assuming he can play right and left?

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not worth worrying about right now. No one knows.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He played so well last GW I can’t see him being dropped just yet

    3. OleBall
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He was one of their best players last night

  19. JWilson3
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is taking Salah out for KDB (c) insanity?

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely not

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Nope - I did it but for Bruno instead

    3. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I think so Salah home, with fans.. Battered wolves and Leicester, and I think spurs get beat... Salah will be involved

    4. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not at all. For me I am done moving around premiums as it just hasn’t gotten me anywhere besides with less transfers in hand.

  20. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years

    What would you do here?

    McCarthy

    Thoughts

    2ft

    Vardy + Son to Adams + Bruno

    McCarthy,
    James, Taylor, Targett
    KDB, Son*, Salah, Grealish,
    Vardy*, Bamford, DCL

    4.0, Mendy, Kilman, Masuaku

      Son will score against Liverpool imo and fixtures are good after that imo.

      Salah to Bruno and bank other FT would be my move. Vardy can stay for Everton

        Thank you! I never consider that move. I rate Bruno over salah so something for me to think about. But I can see me wanting salah back after this spurs fixture.
        I agree don't really want to drop Son but Vardy's next three don't look that great.

    2. Coys96

      So Soucek or Bamford?

      Bamford

    3. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Bamford over Soucek

    4. Bob B
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Easy Bamford

  23. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Robertson + Soucek -> Coufal + Bruno(c)? (-4)

    Martinez
    James - Dallas - Robertson
    KDB - Salah - Son - Grealish - Soucek
    DCL - Bamford

    1 FT - 3.7m

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I would. Thats the mid line up I want.

    2. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Great moves, great team

      1. Coys96
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Actually I would just do Salah to Bruno

    3. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Son to Bruno

  24. matiakez
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Tierney to stones for free? Or is it a trap?

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Dias if you can afford

    3. OleBall
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      It's a trap

  25. jay01

    Is Hames to Soucek no brainer? Means I can have a lot of money to play with for next gwk

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Far from a no brainer

    2. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Don't fancy anyone else in that price. Allows for a lot of flexibility. You can even use him as a bench player later if necessary without having to swithc him out

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not a no brainer. I feel Bown is a better pick. Grealish, if you don't have him.
      If the extra cash, helps you strentghen your team/bench, it's a good move.

    Is Kane, Salah, KDB & Bruno in one team too much? Thinking of getting this combo for GW15

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I have it currently. If your TV isn't high, it makes your bench ridiculously weak. I will drop one for Son to improve bench in a few weeks. But I feel alright about it so far.

      1. AF90
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        What's your lineup if you don't mind sharing? My TV is quite high so like the look of it...team would be;

        McCarthy
        Chilwell, Dallas, Balbuena
        Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Grealish
        Kane, Bamford, Adams

        Forster, Taylor, Poveda, Mitchell.

        Involves losing Vardy, DCL & Son for me...
