Monitor – Dele Alli

462 Comments
Share

In a season that has thrown up a number of surprises, some solace can be taken in the predictable. After dominating the midfield scoring charts in 2016/17, with Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Son Heung-min all among the top ten scoring midfielders in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Spurs’ dynamic trio are at it again.

All three once more sit near the summit of the positional scoring charts, ranking fifth, sixth and seventh in the midfield rankings. Amazingly, after 32 Gameweeks, there are just nine points between them, highlighting the fine margins that have separated these players throughout the current campaign.

In recent weeks, however, it has been Alli who has come to the fore – staking a claim to significant Fantasy interest ahead of a pair of Double Gameweeks to close out the year.

Is Alli’s recent form enough to earn him favour over Spurs’ other midfield options – or will one of Son or Eriksen emerge as the superior asset during FPL’s final Gameweeks?

In our latest members’ Monitor article, we crunch the Opta data for an answer.

        Naa, provided Salah is fit(which he'll be imo), I'm torn between:

        A. Auba+Bailly+Gross to Kane+Lingard+Smalling or a cheap def (-4)
        Or
        B. Auba+Gross to Kaku+Gudm for free and then Kane in for Kaku in 36.

    Is it a dumb move to go without Liverpool, if it turns out that Salah is out for the next game?

    Thinking of:
    DDG - Ryan
    Christensen - Naughton - Tark - Lowton - Chilwell
    Son - Willian - Mahrez - Lingard - King
    Vardy - Auba - Kane

    Auba to Lukaku before DGW

      Son did also benefit from Kane injury immediately. Alli has not been as good this year as before, but might be finding form now.

        I was wondering that. Kane was out or limited minutes in GW10 (-), GW22 (1G), GW30 (1G/1A), GW32 (2G).
        Total 8G/12A so half his goals from 3 games absent Kane.

        thought the same.
        the positions where Alli is dangerous is normally for Kane to be.
        When Kane is out, Son drifts from the middle and opens for Alli.

        IMO Son is the one keeping his points with or without Kane

          Guessing he means cos City couldn’t seem to score against ‘Pool so DDG may keep a CS in addition to the save points he’s bound to get

          Personally think Ryan may still be better bet for a CS tho

            No. Huddersfield are toothless in front of goal. That's why Brighton have clean sheet odds of 53% this week. Lump on, I'd be playing 5 Brighton defenders if I could 😆

            Well Azpi is a RCB - so him. For a pure out-and-out CB, it's still Christensen. Still a chance of rotation.

              That's what I'm thinking of not happy with my team at all like 8 to 9 players i wanted to wait till Gw36 WC and BB in gw37 and was going to FH in gw34 but i think that's out of the question now

          Read a few posts about people wanted to get rid of Salah...is it not madness considering some of the home fixtures coming up ? Or does it make more sense considering Liverpool likely progress in c1 . Thoughts ? Thanks 🙂

              Perhaps but think of the smugness if it pays off.
              Allows many people to get kane/lingard or similar who could easily gain 20pts in next 2 game weeks over say firmino/salah.

          Degrees of 'nailed-ness' on here & other FPL forums is my pet peeve.

          Either a player is 'nailed' or they are not.

          I get that it's easier to use the description as such, but it pains me even when I write it myself!

                He asked for the template... Of course he could find a way to include Vardy in his team.

                Should have Kane plan as well.
