Where FPL teams concede the most chances from – Part 2

489 Comments
Share

We have used the latest international break to identify trends in the opening 12 Gameweeks of the 2018/19 season.

This aim of this study, which we began last week, has been to assess where each FPL team is most susceptible when it comes to conceding goals.

Using data available in the Members Area, we have looked at chances conceded from set pieces, through the middle and down the left or right flank.

With the relevant areas pinpointed for the first 10 teams, this second part then compares the other 10 sides’ vulnerabilities with their upcoming schedule to find out which players stand to benefit.

Across the articles in this series the hope is the build a picture of which FPL assets have the most favourable match-ups with specific team weakness over the next six Gameweeks.

    Trippier and Mendy already out for me this week. Possibly Gudmondsson too and Stephens suspended.

    Got 2 FT and may still end up taking a 4 pointer.

        May hold Trippier and start Duffy instead.

        Mendy ideally needs to go tonight though, if he's dropping in value.

          I think that's a good shout. After Arsenal away Trippier's fixtures are gold, and I wouldn't have an issue playing him at the Emirates either.

    If you are going to WC in a few weeks, would you rather get Stones than Laporte, and upgrade elsewhere? Stones will probably get rested once ore twice over christmas but that doesnt matter if you wildcard before christmas anyway. Stones is sligthly better for BPS as well.

      I would go Stones if the pounds saved can be used well elsewhere.

      For me, 6.0 for Laporte is too much for a player who's biggest haul this season is 8 points and is 28 behind Alonso. Doherty and TAA have also kept pace with him despite fewer minutes.

    Quick question, sorry if it’s already been discussed loads...

    I’m thinking of downgrading Robbo for Trent for money...

    Do people think Trent is super rotation prone or as likely as any...move worth it if we assume the cash is well spent ? (it will upgrade Billing to Martial or Anderson as a 4th mid)

        Wolves and Everton assets seem to be the most talked about... Doherty (if fit), Vinagre (could be a cheap route into the Wolves defence now Jonny is injured), Jimenez, Digne, Richarlison... also Laporte and Martial picking up lots of transfers.

      Hey guys,

      Is Pereira (Lei) a good option for Mendy? Or do you guys any advice other than Pereira and why?

      P.S. Mendy is the only City def coverage I have in the squad.

      Better transfer:
      A) Wan-Bissaka --> Digne
      B) Arnautovic --> Jimenez

          Two points for improvement for this week, but wondering what is better long term. Somehow i don't trust Arnautovic.

      Its worth to buy Alonso now? He is 7.1 and will have Spurs(A), Fulham (H), Wolves (A) and City(H) in next four games.

        probably not this week

        but i'd class him as pretty essential for fulham and even wolves

        He is the highest scoring player in FPL and costs 7.1 - seems like a bargain whatever the fixtures.

        Will be interesting to see how the next 6 scores compare to their season averages

          Aye. But no doubt I'll forget to check.

        Also would be interesting to see them adjusted for team form, individual form and opposition form to weed out the few players who have everything going for them
