Watchlist

Watchlist Update – Mendy back on our FPL defender radar

With the international break almost over, we have taken the time to update the defenders on our Watchlist.

There hasn’t been a great deal of change since our post-Gameweek 7 refresh, though there is one returning name that leaps out: Manchester City’s Benjamin Mendy (£6.2m).

Mendy takes the place of the unfortunate Aymeric Laporte (£5.7m) in fifth place, who has recorded four straight clean sheets for the reigning champions and is likely a safer route into the City backline than the fit-again full-back.

We can’t ignore the explosive potential of Mendy, however, particularly with Pep Guardiola’s troops next up against a Burnley side who have conceded more chances than any Premier League club this season, including a league-worst 24 opportunities from their right flank.

Southampton also visit the Etihad in Gameweek 11, but we’ve stopped short of a “favourable fixtures” tag for Mendy with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United also to come over the next month.

A Fabian Delph (£5.3m)/Leroy Sane (£9.2m) partnership on the left flank remains an alternative option for Guardiola in the future, but since Mendy walked straight back into the team against Liverpool after recovering from injury and was an ever-present before getting sidelined, we don’t believe he warrants a “rotation risk” flag – yet.

Andrew Robertson (£6.3m) moves up to the top of our Watchlist for defence and now has a “favourable fixtures” tag to his name, given that Huddersfield Town, Cardiff City and Fulham are to face Liverpool before the November international break. No club has a better pairing of fixtures over the next two Gameweeks than Jurgen Klopp’s side.

The four highest-scoring defenders in FPL, indeed, rather unsurprisingly make up our top four on the Watchlist.

Marcos Alonso (£7.0m) hasn’t delivered an attacking return since Gameweek 4 but has compensated with clean sheets in two of those matches, so just about clings on to his “A” form rating.

Alonso and Chelsea have three home league fixtures in their next four outings, though with Manchester United the visitors to Stamford Bridge this weekend the Spanish left-back hasn’t been handed a positive or negative fixture tag.

Alonso’s underlying attacking numbers have unquestionably deteriorated over the last month, but the Chelsea man has been written off before and still retains the canny knack to deliver a monster haul after a period of dormancy. The next four fixtures will hopefully tell us if the drop-off in KPIs was merely a lull and not as a result of specific instruction from Maurizio Sarri.

Faith in the Fantasy community hasn’t wavered, either – Alonso’s ownership has increased after every round of fixtures this season and the Spanish international in fact rose in price again this week.

No player quite warrants an “A” form rating as much as Matt Doherty (£4.7m), who has delivered three double-digit hauls in the last four Gameweeks. We’ve elevated the newly capped Irish international up to third on our Watchlist, with four enticing-looking fixtures to come in the next half-dozen matches.

Doherty might be a season-keeper for a large percentage of Fantasy managers and would appear set to feature on our Watchlist for some time given the value he is providing at a still-reasonable £4.7m: no FPL defender has registered as many penalty box touches as the Wolves wing-back in 2018/19.

The return to fitness of Serge Aurier (£5.8m) means there is sufficient doubt to leave the “rotation risk” flag on Kieran Trippier (£6.3m), even if the Spurs right-back has started the last seven Premier League matches for the Lilywhites – the longest sequence of successive league starts that Trippier has managed in his three years in north London.

Trippier’s form rating remains unchanged after 22 FPL points in three Gameweeks.

The remaining five defenders in our top ten are all familiar names as they retain their places from the pre-Gameweek 8 Watchlist.

Shane Duffy (£4.5m), Ben Chilwell (£5.0m) and DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m) all have “favourable fixtures” to come in the coming weeks and months, with their respective clubs sitting in the top three on our Season Ticker for the next Gameweeks.

The trio have contrasting forms, however, with Duffy very much the pick of the three with a clean sheet and three goal involvements in his last four Gameweeks.

Chilwell has yet to record a goal or assist in 2018/19 but only three defenders (Holebas, Trippier and Robertson) have created more chances than the Leicester full-back this campaign.

Yedlin gets an “up” arrow as Newcastle’s fixtures have taken a huge turn for the better: the Magpies now don’t face one member of the “big six” until Boxing Day. The American full-back has created more chances for his team-mates than the rest of the Magpies’ backline combined and is available at an attractive price, though Jamaal Lascelles’ (£4.8m) price is heading in the right direction from a bargain-lover’s point of view and he may soon enter our thinking.

Were it not for Everton’s inability to regularly keep clean sheets and some awful away fixtures ahead, Lucas Digne (£4.8m) would be higher than ninth on our Watchlist. Only Harry Maguire (£5.5m) has had more shots among defenders over the last four Gameweeks, with the French full-back also registering six key passes during that period.

Digne’s game is well rewarded on the Bonus Points System, with the former Barcelona defender impressively registering a Baseline BPS every 5.4 minutes.

Jose Holebas (£4.9m) is suspended for Gameweek 9 and has amassed only one point over the last four matches but just about makes it into tenth place with some enticing fixtures against Huddersfield, Newcastle and Southampton to enjoy upon his return from a one-match ban.

Having averaged only 2.2 points over the last five Gameweeks and with an away trip to Chelsea to come in Gameweek 9, Luke Shaw (£5.1m) drops out of our thinking for the time being.

Our summary of the movers and shakers on the midfielders’ and forwards’ Watchlists will follow later in the week.

      Taking a hit to remove Trippier before a home to West Ham game is strange.

        Cheers mate! Whom would you look to captain though If I don't get Kun?

        1. Point-one short
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Mane/Hazard/Kane in that order I think. I'd expect Mane either starts with a thumb splint or doesn't play at all, can see Hazard getting a goal against Man U and west ham not a bad fixture for Kane.

          Can see a fair few liverpool clean sheets upcoming.

          1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            True!

  9. ChelseaKTBFF
    • 10 Years

    Why am I not worried about Salah not being in my team?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Because he is probably not as highly owned right now?

    2. COYS Down Under
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Because Pool aren't on form, Salah and Mane aren't on form, and the number of people who will captain Salah this week is quite low.

      Wait until they're home against Cardiff and its confirmed that Salah is going to play, see how you feel then 🙂

      1. ChelseaKTBFF
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I can get him in next week. But damn my team looks so nice without him

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years

        Look at the top of the league?? ‘Pool aren’t on form’

    2 FT still intact, itching to use one. Cant wait for pressers!

    Thoughts?

    1. ChelseaKTBFF

      you can do major surgery with more info.. so wait

    2. COYS Down Under
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Bellerin to Robbo/TAA seems obvious.

      Hennessey to Patricio also seems obvious, rotates beautifully with Flappy.

      1. ChelseaKTBFF
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Fab > Alison is a diff route into the Defense

        1. COYS Down Under
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          But then he's left with a 4.5m GK that he'll never play. And Alisson is just expensive when Liverpool have 2 play 5.1m defenders.

          1. ChelseaKTBFF
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Both those are less guaranteed starters than Alison. You pay the security premium. But I can see the appeal of TAA

        2. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Actually, never considered Alisson. Thinking of maybe Hennessey->Alisson. .. . .
          Cant do Pat, Dortmund, triple Wolves already 🙁
          Bellerin->Robbo seems good though. Liverpool defence looks to be a must have!

          1. Demel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Bellarin > Robbo is the obvious move. Walker to Mendy soon as well.

      Mitro, Wilson

      (Usually a 4-3-3 with Deeney ahead of Murphy, but not this week 😉 )

      1. ChelseaKTBFF
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting. If things go south how do you plan on rebalancing the side? Thats lacking a bit.

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I only need 2 transfers to get back to the template shape 🙂

      2. Point-one short

        who's Murphy?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          The man Andy talked about as his differential pick this week in scoutcast. 4.8 mid, very attacking. Great stats against a poor Fulham side.

          1. Point-one short
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Hmm, I'm ignorant of him - would rather save the cash, play alonso and get mf fodder and upgrade deeney to arnie.

            1. Puyol Pants Up
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Can't afford that 🙁

              I think Deeney could be a great pick going forward, espeically with Delofeu returning. Watford will likely switch to a 1 striker formation meaning everything would going through Deeney. Whereas before Gray was kinda in the way in a 4-4-2

      3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Never bench Alonso
        Get Richarlison IMO

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Benching Alonso is very risky agreed, but I think it can pay dividends. I'm not sure I like Richarlison at striker. He was poor for Watford at striker last season and even though he scored last GW (I had him last GW as well), I think he'd be more appealing as a LW. Bernard played in that LW position and was a world beater. Rich didn't get involved much and as a striker he'd have to rely on good service compared to him at LW when he can do whatever he wants.

      4. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        is that a differential team? 😮

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I'd like to think so 😛

      5. COYS Down Under
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I do like the Murphy pick. Especially with a heavy defense, easy to play him when you need to and cover when you won't. I had him on a WC team for a bit but couldn't bring myself to do it.

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

      Certainly different and it could work. The issue is when the likes of Kun bang in a hat trick and he is highly captained.

    6. Yankee Toffee

      nice but I'd downgrade TAA and upgrade one of Richarlison, Fraser, Arnie, Wilson

      Anyway, you'll want to get rid of Wilson and fraser in 2 weeks so I would only have 1

  15. SlowStart
    • 9 Years

    Start Pereira or AWB?

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years

      AWB

  16. Sweetboi
    • 8 Years

    Who to bench?

    a) Trippier (whu)

    b) Maddison (ars)

  19. Baron Saturday
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else considering Bellerin or Monreal?

    I know the Arsenal haven't been great in defense and a bit of a shambles in general, but seem to be find some form going forward and those two have been getting very involved in the forward third...

    Probably better options for less dollar, but differentials and have solid history.

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Good options at the price. I still think a Mendy - Robertson- Alonso - Doherty - AWB defence is optimum.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        If you have easily benchable 5th mid and 3rd striker, yes.

        1. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          True.

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      problem I have with them is that they don’t keep clean sheets and so you rely solely on attacking returns a lot of weeks. also arsenal fixtures are about to get tougher. finally they also are at a similar price to Laporte and TAA who I would take instead. not for me really

    Hi, anyone going without Salah and Mane?

    2. COYS Down Under

    3. Demel

  22. Jinswick

    Who would you start this week out of ASmith (SOT) and Maddison (ars)?

    1. FPL-(VAR)dy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Smith

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

      Mad. Easy choice for me.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I do think there will be goals in the game, which leads me to Maddison, but ASmith has a good fixture for defensive returns and he’s not afraid to bomb forward himself.

        1. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I am not convinced he is a great option. Is he attacking enough? Not for me. Do they keep clean sheets? Not really. In that situation I prefer the attacking player.

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            You do make good points. Ings is getting a lot of chances too, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he finally puts one away. Hmmmm.

    3. Bavarian

      If u have a transfer, move him out. If not. Do You have a decent sub? If not, he may be back in some time.

  24. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

    A TAA (playing Robertson)
    B alonso
    C Maddison

    Shaw & Kane >>> Mendy & Aguero (-4) ???

    1. Yankee Toffee

      5 years, 5 months ago

      sure, why not

      1. Bavarian

        Thanks

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      not sure, kane to kun can work

      1. Bavarian
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        why not the second move?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          i dont know, its for a hit, I'm not really a fan of Mendy, consider him as a rotation risk for now.

          (has been a troll for me, so its a bias view)

          1. Bavarian
            • 6 Years

    3. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Just Kane to Kun.

      1. Bavarian
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        well noted thanks

    4. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Why for a hit, just get Kun if you want him.

  26. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Which team do you prefer? It depends What I do with my transfers.

    A) - Strong defence

    Ryan
    Trip - Alonso- Robertson
    Fraser - Maddison- Salah - Hazard
    Kun - Arnie - Jimenez

    Button - Doherty- AWB - Ward

    B) - Kane

    Ryan
    Doherty - Robertson - Duffy
    Fraser - Maddison - Salah - Hazard
    Kun - Kane - Jimenez

    Button- AWB - Bennett - Ward

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Probably A for now

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. A is my planned transfers Pog/Kane to Salah/Arnie.

    2. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A seems much better balanced. Double Brighton defense seems risky, maybe Fabianski for Ryan to benefit WHU good fixtures? But A seems better.

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks I think B is the result of too much time on thr international break.

  27. Bialystrzelec
    • 7 Years

    I have 2 FT. Which option do you like most?

    A. Maddison, Trippier > Sterling, Gomez

    Thoughts on Muto for a draft league guys? Played well against Man Utd and has decent fixtures. Need to get rid of Tosun somehow.

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Try Illenacho if he is free.
