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.

          due to lack of options in that price bracket, it is aleast better to go with in form player rather than some random punt. you can always switch later if some fresh name arises

          For next 3, I think Fraser is fine.

      I'd be tempted to go cheap and use the money elsewhere. Costa, Kenedy, Camarasa, Paterson and Brooks are all around 5.0, of if you're in search of a major differential, Gundogan will probably start if Bernardo Silva is ruled out.

    I know Laporte isn't worth 6.0, but since I got him at 5.6 it's worth holding him for a while right?

    I'm tempted to move him to Robertson

      I wouldn’t say he’s not worth 6.0 but I kind of see him the same as Ederson so in your position I’d hold. But given budget defenders are more exciting than budget keepers i figure now Mendy is down that Ederson is probably the best bet instead of Laporte

            Laporte is better imo and he's a left footed cb, so surely it's him paired with one of the others. Otamendi is too rash, and getting on, Company is too old and Stones fits the bill for his play

      continued inability to defend properly (have only 2 CS all season and none away)

      Probably counterintuitive to get Mendy out for a hit with Arnie playing, so I'll prob just take it and like it. Fraser did do well and Arsenal usually concede so might be ok

          This is true but he's still a good player and Maddison, if back, will help. Obviously I want us to roger the seagulls 0-10 (or a prize winning leek) but I fear the worst, both from an EPL and FPL perspective. I reckon Brighton will win by something like 1-0.

      You need to ask what will Arnie owners be doing that benched him after he scores a brace but comes off injured 😉

      (P.S as a Laporte and non-Arnie owner I would in reality be frustrated but life will go on!)

    Already did Mendy to Laporte.
    Thinking to do Hojbjerg to Martial (-4) or maybe Richarlison but think that it is too much both Rich and Siggy.
    Opinions? Maybe to do something else?
