This evening’s Members article brings with it a new approach. With winter wildcards being flourished at a furious pace, we’ve put together a new article template to run the rule over a couple of very topical transfer targets: Stephane Sessegnon and Jonathan Walters.

Both players have received heavy investment ahead of the weekend. Sessegnon is facing a couple of enticing home clashes with Swansea and Norwich, while Walters, with four home fixtures in the next six Gameweeks (WBA, SUN, SWA, NOR), is also racking up the transfers on the back of a home average 6.8 points per game in Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

In terms of Fantasy output, there is very little between them. Walters is the pricier, by 6.7 to 6.6, and has returned a single point more than Sessegnon, by 95 to 94. The only real difference is in ownership, with the Stoke man currently selected by 16% of Fantasy managers compared to Sessegnon’s 13%. The latter has attracted the most suitors of late, though, rising by 0.4 since the end of gameweek 19.

Using both the Opta stats and our very own ICT Index available to our Members, we examine their last few gameweeks, offering a direct comparison between the two players’ performances.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      I am inclined to go for B....

      I think with Taylor playing in midfield he may bring some good returns.

    BAE owners. Are you sticking with him beyond GW23?

    Spurs have:
    NEWCASTLE Arsenal MAN UNITED Everton STOKE Chelsea
    which isn't the best, but at the same time he doesn't cost a great deal either, so not that much of a risk.

    The reason I ask is because I've got a possible 2 GW plan, before WC:
    GW22: BAE > ShawX
    GW23: Nani > VDV

    This gives VDV, Bale, Ade vs Stoke and I can then stick with Valencia with WC. Probs VDV/Ade then come out with WC and probs sticking with Bale.

    A: Keep BAE and instead do Brown > ShawX, or
    B: Ship BAE this week, with VDV or Lennon to come in for Nani for a for 1 GW punt vs WIGAN in GW23

    Don't Fancy Raylor to score/assist, but could get a cleanie.
    Moses is pretty good away, and looked decent against MCI
    Bale hasn't done well against top clubs

    I think Morison will assist/goal

    cor, just seen Torres' volley from the weekend. That was sweet. He would have loved that to have gone in

    Current team with WC:

    Krul

    Raylor - Enrique - Cahill

    Walters - Silva - Bale - Dempsey

    Aguero - RVP - Fletcher

    Subs: Mignolet - McClean - Simpson - S.Kelly

    Problems:

    Still have 0.8 to spend
    No Man Utd coverage (Evans? Valencia?)
    I'm not 100% sure about Cahill
    No Man City defenders - wait until Kompany comes back, or go for Richards (inj?) or Clichy

    If you have Bale you have to play him no? Spurs could be getting mullered by a class team but Bale always has a chance of pulling something out of the bag. Bench at your peril

        Like me who's benching Bale, playing Drenthe.

        100% safe option.

    a.) Moses to Dempsey (-4 points)
    b.) Moses to Sess (-4 points)
    c.) Don't take the 4 point hit (play either Moses or Ben Arfa)

      I'd go Ben Afra if you think will play - he may play up front.
      Am I mad I've just listed my team 3 below this and put in Moses above BA, proves I need help in more ways than 1.
      Conclusion I'd play either and not take the hit unless its for a longer term purchase - then I'd go Dempsey - but you must have some £ in the bank!
