The Burning Question – Stick Or Twist On Alonso?

Chelsea wing-back Marcos Alonso’s 138 points make him the most productive defender in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) this season.

At 7.2, he’s also the most expensive and, with 21.0% ownership, the third most popular among backline assets.

All of that has established him as a near “essential” option for many.

But Chelsea’s current travails, his own recent two-match absence and a schedule involving trips to both Manchester sides and a visit from Spurs over his next four matches have prompted a sizeable slice of Alonso’s ownership to say their goodbyes.

He’s already the most sold player going into Gameweek 28, with 119,000+ transferring him out.

Is that a knee-jerk response or a wise move to cash in before the going gets too tough?

We asked Mark and our panel of Fantasy Premier League experts – last season’s winner Ben Crabtree and runner-up Uwais Ahmed and perennial Career Hall of Fame leading lights Jay Egersdorff and Peter Kouwenberg – the latest of our Burning Questions: Do we sell or keep Marcos Alonso?

Uwais Says…

Quite simply, the answer probably lies somewhere in between.

Firstly, Antonio Conte has confirmed that Alonso should be ready to play in midweek in the Champions League. But after that, Chelsea head to Old Trafford and the Etihad for back-to-back league matches.

Although it is unwise to write the Spaniard off for returns in those matches, the fact they have proceeded to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup means that they now have a run of Manchester United (A) Manchester City (A), Crystal Palace (H) and then a blank in the next four Gameweeks.

Alonso commands a hefty price and his value has not increased significantly from the start of the season, making it easier to bring him back once sold.

However, there is also the option of holding him through Gameweek 31 and place him on the bench, knowing that Chelsea will have at least one double Gameweek to come.

Going into Gameweek 31, FPL managers should not face a challenge to raise significant funds, thereby making it viable to carry Alonso through the blank.

Other than Liverpool options, we are looking to select from teams such as Huddersfield Town, Palace, Stoke City, Everton, Bournemouth, West Brom and Watford. As a result, it should not be imperative to sell Alonso to free up funds.

Beyond that blank though, Chelsea have a very favourable run-in, and with at least one (and maybe even two) double Gameweeks to come, there is no doubt that he will be a go-to option with or without the Wildcard.

So Alonso owners could seek out better value for the time being. What is without doubt, however, is that we are almost certain to revisit the situation from Gameweek 32 onwards.

Jays Says…

What rotten luck for Alonso owners in recent weeks – nobody could have predicted his mysterious disappearing act.

It was foreseeable that maybe a rest was in order, given Chelsea’s reliance on the Spaniard, but two consecutive absences have hit us where it hurts.

I’d hope that by Gameweek 28 we will see Alonso back, with Conte already giving us his word that the wing-back will be fit to figure against Barcelona in midweek.

Assuming he is back in business, I think that his goal threat and a lack of obvious goalscoring alternatives means he’s one to keep for now, irrespective of fixtures.

With the blanks and doubles thrown up after the FA Cup ties this weekend, there are surely more pressing transfer priorities.

Peter Says…

With fatigue, injuries and possible competition for his place, it seems a no-brainer to trade in the Rolls Royce of FPL defenders for what is, in any event, a testing period of his campaign.

Throw in at the time of writing two (and probably only two!) Champions League matches and their continued FA Cup involvement, and the wisdom of that strategy appears sound.

And that’s before we get to Chelsea’s recent poor form.

Personally, I may yet retain the services of our Spanish star, as I am likely to have to choose between a combination of Virgil van Dijk and Eden Hazard or Alonso and Sadio Mane.

But I can absolutely understand why many will be looking to redistribute funds elsewhere, perhaps putting it towards an expensive front three.

It’s not that I don’t think Alonso will score points after his recent enforced break – he has three goals in away matches against Spurs and Arsenal this season and also kept clean sheets at home against Manchester United and the Gunners.

But his value is questionable.

The wing-back has the best points per match of any defender other than Man United’s Eric Bailly, but Ben Davies, Phil Jones and even Stephen Ward are close behind and demand a fraction of the cost.

Most of us will be Wildcarding within the next few weeks, at which point we will have a much better idea of whether Alonso deserves a seat at our double Gameweek table.

Before then, there are too many doubts around his pitch-time and many other demands on our funds.

So I’m advocating selling, even though I haven’t made that final decision myself.

Ben Says…

Conte’s been having a rough time with the press recently, and he hasn’t been getting too much sympathy from Alonso owners either.

Had he stated that Alonso would miss Watford and West Brom, it would have been a simple decision, with cash freed up for the opportunity of lucrative Kevin De Bruyne or Hazard moves.

Instead, it’s reached the point now where he could be sold but then play and score big.

I think I will show him the door, and concentrate funds into attacking areas.

Other than Nacho Monreal – who after Man City in Gameweek 28 has good fixtures – I’m happy to have a few cheaper defenders that I rotate, with my attack taking the priority when it comes to spending power.

But with Monreal unlikely to claim a clean sheet at City, I might just delay the Alonso exit for one more week.

He may well punish sellers. Given his attacking prowess, it seems likely that he will find the net at least once more this season.

However, I prefer to look at defenders for clean sheets first, and in three of the next five for Chelsea, that looks unlikely.

After that, we’re into Wildcard territory, so there’s little need to worry about the hassle and cost of getting him back.

Mark Says…

Alonso is a season keeper for me.

I’d never say never and perhaps if I’m short of a few bob in my Gameweek 31 plans, then maybe he’ll be ejected to spend a short time out of my squad. But, should that be the case, he would certainly be a Wildcard acquisition – most likely in Gameweek 32.

I’m not panicked by Chelsea’s fixtures. While I’m not counting on clean sheets at United or City, I’ve almost reclassified Alonso in my head as a 7.2 winger in a decent side who takes free-kicks who can also get me extra defensive points.

Chelsea may just be over their blip, with Olivier Giroud’s arrival providing a timely boost. I see them troubling a United defence that has looked fragile, while City’s run of just one clean sheet in six Gameweeks indicates there could also be some joy at the Etihad.

Above all, having Alonso makes watching Chelsea all the more bearable.

Each time Eden Hazard gets felled around the box, I know an opportunity for Alonso arises. And those free-kicks can beat any defence and any keeper.

Added to this, I just don’t think I’ll have the luxury of making such a transfer. There’ll be other fires to put out, other areas of the squad to tinker with as we lead up to Gameweek 31.

    Is the following worth a free?

    Sanchez + Otamendi -> Mane + VVD

    1. RashFraud
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on what you do with the cash

    2. RashFraud
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ota>VVD is kind of a no brainer now

  2. RashFraud

    Best OTAMENDI replacement? Already have VVD

    1. Miguel Sanchez

      Ben Davies

  3. Nesvy

    Who firs out ?

    a/ Alonso
    b/ Otamendi

    1. Eze Really?

        I will be selling Ota this week. Like Mark, I’m inclined to keep Alonso.

    2. Karan14

      A

    Daniels to Mawson for free? Defences becomes:

    Jones / VVD / Mawson (Martina / Chilwell)

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mawson is injured.

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jones is a concern too so i would focus there

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d keep Daniels now that he has a GW31 fixture, unless your planning to FH 31

  5. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you get rid of Son for Eriksen?

    Or rather focus on getting a playing sub for GW31 instead of dross like RLC / Speroni?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm looking at that move, or Kun RLC Alonso > Eriksen Firmino VVD

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I think the Spurs cup replay makes Son less appealing.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d probably get Eriksen.

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Son to Eriksen is way to sideways. Nothing to suggest that Son has lost his place in the starting 11. If they both start I would say Son is more likely to score goals.

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I think Eriksen is clearly the more nailed on option.

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          He is no doubt. But if you have no other issues and this the only transfer you can make maybe go for it but don’t be surprised if you’re punished by Son as he is way more explosive than Eriksen.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea

        Didn’t start v Juve and started in FA Cup ... suggest he has fallen down the pecking order ?

  6. _Gunner

    Jones + Pogba > Mahrez + VVD for free

    yay or nay?

    1. Karan14

      Yes.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

    Kane • Firmino • Niasse

    (Elliot • CM • Ota • Wimmer)

    A) Alonso & Lingard ➡️ Robertson & Mahrez

    B) Alonso & Lingard ➡️ Morgan/Lowton/Francis & Mane

    Plan to get Walcott/Siggy & Shaqiri nearer to blank.

    1. Karan14

    Are there any other Kane AND Kun owners considering Kunexit?

    Kun RLC Alonso > Firmino Eriksen VVD (-4) is really tempting me.

    1. LSP
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Good moves.

      I'm doing Ota + Alonso + Lingard > vvd + Daniel + Eriksen this week

      And Aguero > Firmino next week

  11. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    With only 4 players for 31, guess I am more inclined towards using FH in that gw

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You can get 7-9 players with 1 or 2 hits. The teams playing expect Pool don’t have good options. I’m struggling to choose any mid from those teams except Pool.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        That’s why I started to think it’ll be better to use the FH chip @GW35 instead.

      2. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I can easily get 7. But will that be good enough ?

        1. QPRUTD
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          7-8 will be enough. There aren't many good players playing that week anyway. they'll eat into each other's points.

          1. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I already have 3 pool, niasse and Schindler.
            I am locked in attacking department, so I'll have to look for someone in attack

            I am considering ibe, shaqiri and maybe milivojevic. Definitely two out of these 3

            1. The Overthinker
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Locked in striker *

        2. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Depends which 7. Not many essentials in those teams.

    2. QPRUTD
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I am in a similar situation, but i prefer playing FH in 35.
      We can easily have 8-9 players for 31, using the transfers wisely

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Easily get 11 out in 35 too ?

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I was initially thinking this but actually I think 35 will be a lot better

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You must already be set for the DGW34 too ?

    Foster
    Alonso Daniels Dunk
    Salah Sterling Hazard Lingard Allen
    Aguero Firmino

    Elliot Otamendi Quaner Bauer

    Which one is better
    1. Otamendi & Aguero to VVD & Kane

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years

      If Ota, Lingard, Kun > VVD, Walcott, Kane is impossible, then you could go for:

      Ota, Lingard, Kun > Robertson, Walcott, Kane

  13. Jonny Sutt

    Why does sterling look likely to drop?

    1. arndff_

      City with some tough fixtures. People are looking at Eriksen/Mahrez/Mkhi.

    Playing about with WC squad for GW32...not drastically different to current squad, so is there any point even using it this season...

    WC Squad GW32:

    DDG - Coleman.

    Alonso - Jones - Mee - Ward - Honey.

    Salah - Sterling - Wally - Arnie - Milli.

    Kane - Firmino - Ayew.

    Current Squad:

    DDG - Pope.

    Ota - Jones - Schindler - Ogbana - Honey.

    Salah - Sterling - Wally - Lingard - Richarlison.

    Kun - Firmino - Ayew.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      That suggests you should use WC in 36 and BB in 37?

          Bang on. Son is slipping down the ranking now and is really looking weak in away fixtures.

          I am considering shipping him out this week although I suspect he will start GW after which is a decent fixture.

          Don't so anything until all the games are done with - you wouldn't like an injury just as you've done it all! Sod the 0.1

            Cheers all....

            I guess I need to decided if I do son to walcott- leaving room for vvd

            Or if I go for 3 lpool forwards.

            Walcott and vvd may be more sensible....

    I kept 1 player from the entire squad after I WC in GW12.

    Looking at the current squad I am only making about 7 player changes should I WC now.

    Does the value of the WC diminish later in the season? As most folks already prepping for Blanks and Doubles...

    The blank Gw35 is going to be tricky to navigate..

    Gw37 was very lucrative last season

    For those of us without the FH, is there anything at all to be said for using the TC in 34, WC in 36 and BB in 37? Just thinking it may be easier than the hokey cokey arranging a passable squad for 35.

    Siggy surely on pens for the Toffees? I would rank them as follows:

    1) Baines
    2) Rooney
    3) Sigurdsson

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If Rooney is on the pitch, he will be on pens.

      It’s been really unlucky for Siggy that Rooney has always been on the pitch to steal it off him

        Not if Baines is back he won’t. Look at their records. Chalk and cheese

      Baines is the preferred pen taker if on field mate. Mind answering my query below

  26. King Sheep
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pope, Foster
    Gomez, Alonso, Ogbonna, Bauer, Dunk
    Salah, Sterling, Shaqiri, Fernandinho, RLC
    Kane, Aguero, Firmino

    1.1 ITB
    1FT
    OR - 2,914

    OK folks I have somehow managed to get to Top 3K rank at this stage and have all chips intact ........... would really appreciate any advice on how to approach the coming weeks ....

    Should I use FH in 31 or should I be looking to bring in some GW 31 players with my FT's ???

    Advice greatly appreciated ..

      you have 6 players already, so dont fh

      FH in 31 means you can ignore the blank and at the same time bolster your team in 28, 29, 30, 32, 33 with the best possible players available and have any players you want for the doubles in 34.

    Hi all

    I'm currently sitting at 23rd in the world (nose bleed time). I have 2 free transfers.... What to do? Son is slipping down order and Ota needs to go.

    Fab
    Ota, Alonso, Dunk, Jones
    Son, Salah, Sterling
    Kane, Aguero, Aywe

    Migs, RLC, McArthur, Kenny

      Incredible ranking mate - we aren't really worth to give you advice....

      Bit I'm doing kun to firmino this week as Jesus is back and I don't want kun as a potential rotation risk....

      And then I think son needs to go next as discussed above....

      Wow, amazing rank. Shame about FH, BB etc.

      Otamendi, Son > Daniels, Eriksen?

      Not sure if you can do that move with VVD, depends on your money ITB. Mane is another potential target over Eriksen if you want GW31 coverage

        Yeah, I know. I was chasing a Christmas prize so went all in. Didn't think I'd still be up there now but you nevver know!

          Think you've done fine with TC and BB.
          Anything over 20 pts is a decent BB score even for a DGW.

      I'd be looking at -4 to take out Son, Ota and RLC.
      Mahrez is a decent option, Robertson and maybe Bournemouth mid for RLC.

        Son out for a hit seems bad imo.

          Doesn't have much form.
          Toby back could easily see Spurs reverting to 3 at the back which means Son benched anyway - even before you try and work out what they're going to do with Moura.
          Leicester have 3 great fixtures.

        Curious.
        High rank like you. New territory. What's your plan - defend rank or attack? Stick with high ownership players in the main or spread the risk?

      A. Kane is a must for the next two fixtures and you may as well start to build a squad for 31. Can you afford VVD? Charlie Daniels is also another cheap attacking defender who doesn’t blank, but clean sheets don’t look great for the cherries
