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.

    If TAA/Robbo don’t start, I’ll switch one of them out for Arnie. If they both start, Arnie sits on the bench... but something about it doesn’t feel right.

    Should I start Arnie?
    Who makes way for him?

        Even though TAA is coming off the back of an assist for LFC and a goal for England?

        I’d say TAA chances of a clean sheet and/or attacking returns is more likely than Arnie returns v City, surely?

          TAA chance of not playing + not a nailed clean sheet

          vs

          Arnie (on pens) will be involved if WHU score (albeit unlikely)

          If you don't have any Wolves defense/keeper go for Doherty. I don't think many defenses are worth doubling up on so would probably avoid TAA if you have Robbo/Allison, Stones if you have Ederson/Laporte etc. If you are lacking one of these defenses then consider for sure. Definitely prefer Digne to Keane as he gets forward more and is on lots of set pieces. Would also add in Chilwell as a potential option too!

          That is getting close to wildcard worth... I would probably use the free transfer and then also take a hit to bring Richarlison in for Willan, but I am probably too conservative with the wildcard!

          Summary of today's Press Conferences for you guys- Will merge tomorrow's for you too.

          Cardiff: Zohore has not recovered as hoped in the break and Hamstring still an issue. Jazz Richards seems to have come back alright. Mendez-Liang probably won't feature in GW 13.

          West Ham: Wilshere and Carroll both back in training with the squad and have trained all week.

          Spurs: Sanchez and Trippier ruled out. Rose and dembele continue with their treatment. Jan Vertonghen back in full training. Eriksen fit to play now.

          Leicester- Maguire ruled out. Vardy (groin) a doubt. Maddison back in training and Puel says will be in "squad".

          Fulham- Joe Bryan trained well- however unlikely to play 90 mins. Anguissa and Mcdonald unavailable.

          Burnely- Gibson and Tarkowski will not be available for this weekend. Gudmundsson and Defour fit and available.

          Brighton- Gross and Propper are fit and available. Jahanbaksh out.

          Will update the others as they come in over next 24 hours.
