Leicester’s fixtures and Tielemans’ arrival boost the appeal of Maddison

This regular article puts the spotlight on three players who all have an ownership of 5% or under in Fantasy Premier League.

There is, of course, a smaller pool of players to draw from this week as we ready ourselves for Blank Gameweek 27 – the deadline for which is an earlier-than-normal Friday evening at 18:45 GMT.

With just 12 Gameweeks of 2018/19 to go, we’re heading towards the time of the season when those Fantasy managers who are chasing a sizeable mini-league deficit may have to consider options from outside the “template” if they are to make ground on rivals ahead of them.

All of our selections not only enjoy excellent fixtures in Gameweek 27 but have appealing matches beyond this weekend, with two of our picks in action in Blank Gameweek 31.

James Maddison (£6.6m)

FPL ownership: 4.3%

There was a point earlier this season when James Maddison (£6.6m) was the Fantasy community’s darling, a mid-price midfield gem whose impressive form and semi-regular attacking returns took his FPL ownership beyond the one-million mark.

Gameweek 26 saw Maddison’s ownership fall to its lowest since early September, however, with the Leicester midfielder now in differential country after extending his goalless run to ten league matches in the 3-1 defeat to Spurs.

Leicester’s forthcoming run of matches is – according to our Season Ticker – the best in the division over the coming nine Gameweeks, with the Foxes not meeting any of the “big six” again until the end of April.

Maddison’s fixtures certainly appeal even if his form doesn’t but the underlying statistics suggest the former Norwich star is long overdue some attacking returns: no FPL midfielder has created more chances over the last eight Gameweeks, while Maddison sits joint-sixth for attempts on goal among players in his position during that time (only five premium midfielders priced at £8.8m and up can better his shot count).

A lack of involvement in many “big chances” tempers his appeal but there is a sense among Leicester fans that the capture of Youri Tielemans (£6.0m) could prove to be a significant one to the Foxes’ attacking prospects.

The box-to-box midfielder was excellent against Spurs in Gameweek 26 and there were some promising signs that both he and Maddison could dovetail nicely together in the 4-3-3/4-1-4-1 that Puel employed at Wembley.

Tielemans himself popped up in a couple of encouraging positions but it was Maddison who appeared unleashed by the Belgian’s arrival and composed distribution in midfield, with Tielemans’ ability to pick a difficult pass in behind opposition defences boding well for the likes of Maddison and Harvey Barnes (£5.5m) ahead of him.

DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m)

FPL ownership: 1.0%

If we are to take “differential” to mean a player owned by fewer than 5% of FPL managers, then every single member of the Newcastle United squad is just that.

There are plenty of names on the Magpies’ roster who perhaps deserve their cases to be heard this week and, judging by the selections of our Scout Squad panel, the likes of Martin Dubravka (£5.0m) and Fabian Schar (£4.6m) may get the nod when the Scout Picks article is put together on Friday.

Salomon Rondon (£5.8m), United’s most-owned player and the subject of over 50,000 transfers in FPL ahead of the Gameweek 27 deadline, is another stand-out candidate.

Goal-scoring has been an issue for Newcastle this season and, although the capture of Miguel Almiron (£6.0m) could prove to be a help on that front, it is arguably their defence that appeals most ahead of their forthcoming fixture run.

Wolves are the only club outside of the “big six” who have conceded fewer goals than Newcastle this season, with Rafael Benitez’s side having banked more clean sheets and shipped fewer goals than the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Everton.

But for a couple of uncharacteristic late errors from Dubravka against Spurs and Wolves in the last two Gameweeks, the Magpies’ shut-out count would be more impressive still.

DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m), ironically, is perhaps Newcastle’s weakest link from a defensive perspective. Much like Marcos Alonso (£6.5m) is/was at Chelsea, though, a positionally suspect full-back can still appeal from a Fantasy perspective.

In the coming weeks and months, Yedlin will likely have to do much less defending than he has been forced to endure during the Magpies’ recent tricky run.

Newcastle sit top of our Season Ticker for the rest of 2018/19 and start off this favourable run with a home match against the division’s lowest scorers in Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

Yedlin has been playing in a more advanced role from around Gameweek 13 onwards, when Benitez adopted a wing-back system and largely stuck with it.

Over that time, Yedlin has created the joint-fifth-highest number of opportunities (albeit none of them “big chances”) among FPL defenders.

While Newcastle are well-stocked for centre-halves and Benitez could, if he wanted to, rotate in that department, the right wing-back slot is effectively Yedlin’s alone, with Javier Manquillo (£4.3m) a decidedly inferior option despite the American’s recent struggles.

Of the 24 league matches he has been available for this season, Yedlin has only failed to start one of them.

Callum Paterson (£5.0m)

FPL ownership: 0.8%

While he has lost his “out of position” tag and over half of his FPL owners in the last ten Gameweeks, Callum Paterson (£5.0m) remains a vital part of Neil Warnock’s battling side.

The Scottish utility player has started 19 of Cardiff’s last 20 Premier League matches and has most recently found a home on the right flank, again taking up a wing-back role in the win over Southampton to great effect.

This “new” position didn’t affect his attacking output too much at St. Mary’s in Gameweek 26: no Cardiff player recorded as many penalty box touches or key passes as Paterson in that match.

It seems odd to back a player who is without a shot on target in his last nine starts but Paterson’s prowess in the air (at both ends of the pitch) continues to catch the eye: the Scottish international has contested more than twice as many aerial duels as any other FPL midfielder this season.

Cardiff are up against Watford on Friday and the Hornets rank bottom for
headed chances conceded in the last six Gameweeks. Only Newcastle have allowed more opportunities from set plays during that time.

        Richarlison to Maddison? :p Their fixtures are unreal

      Risk due to how injury prone he is, but could be a brilliant addition to the team. Not worth swapping out rash for at the moment imo. Anderson is the “safe” option for whm.

    3. Amey

      Could be great.
      I wouldn't do that though

    Building for BGW31:
    A) Go for Maddison
    B) Go for Vardy and bring in Fraser instead of Maddison

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A
      Vardy is too expensive for his return's

    Would be nice for KDB to hit some form

    Will Auba play this weekend or should I transfer him out? (thinking about EL tonight)

    1. captainjilflex

      Crazy transferring him out now

    1. Make United Great Again

      Worth a punt

      What is the deal with Barnes Leicester? Is he nailed on and is he a goal threat? Thankfull for any insight.

      1. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely a goal threat. Nailedness not assured though yet

      2. DandyDon
        • 5 Years

        Gets in great areas but finishing letting him down and potential to be rotated.

  7. anish10
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Laporte > Perreria
    Or
    B) Aguero > auba (1 week)

  8. Froll
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I just wonder whether there is any connection between (a) Dušan Tadić (formerly) of Southampton (formerly) under Claude Puel (June 2016 - June 2017) regularly passing the "eye-test" and having strong "underlying statistics", but delivering very little fantasy returns (with occasional explosions) and (b) James Maddison doing the same after an encouraging start (when he, perhaps, even over-performed vis-a-vis the underlying stats)? Is it the way Claude Puel sets up its teams? Or is it simply that both in Southampton and Leicester there aren't enough (quality) players to put away the chances? [Was a Maddison owner early in the season, but very hesitant to bring him back in].

        Cheers mate
        Thinking Yedlin or Clyne

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I going Newcastle defender hud and Burnley at home back to back too hard to ignore . Not sure which though but leaning towards lascelles ...Bournemouth nice for later on but if you want the points right now(hopefully) I'd go Newcastle

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        very short term Newcastle I agree but medium to long term has to be Leicester

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Sorry i didn't post the question right.
          I have Pereira
          So between
          Clyne/Yedlin ???

          Long term

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I would'nt bother going with a BOU defender mate tbh so Yedlin for me even with the risk of missing 32.

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              *33

              Yedlin it is then

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years

    6. Runaway

      Since you play him this week as well, I would say one of Lascelles/Schar/Yedlin.

    Speroni** Haz** Rich** Digne** Kamara**

    2 FT, 2.3m ITB but 5 players out

    A) Rich > Fanderson and save 1 FT
    B) Use 2 FT to get Auba and a cheaper mid
    C) something else?

        Thank you. I guess the preparing helps for GW33 as well. I have value tied up in players I'd need to get rid of, but I guess that doesn't matter too much now.

    7. GoingUpUpUp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Looking to likely FH in 31, build team for 32 from now with a view of BB or TC in 32

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        What about GW33?

        1. GoingUpUpUp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          close my eyes.....there are a million theories and views on it. This is just mine today, but it could change by lunch...

          For me, it is about managing/massaging this whole period (assuming the convention of DGW 32 and 35 is correct):

          - If I build for 32 now I can work on a full 15 playing. This allows me to (likely) BB that week. Those that are double playing are the guts of my current squad (may backfire as well - see summary)
          - I only have 4 playing in 31 at the moment, so with a max of 5FTs between now and then (I have two this week), best I can do is 9. To get the 9 I would have to push out players who a) I want over the next few weeks and b) I have good value tied up in and I would want to bring back in at a later date
          - 33 will have less blanks (or at least no more) then 31. With a fair wind it will be damage control (many will be having this veiw on one of 27, 31 or 33 I suspect)
          - WC 34 in readiness for 35

          Overall I think the sum of FH 31, BB in 32 and painful 33 (plus value retention for WC34) will outscore 9 'sub optimal' players over the next 3 gameweeks, the gamble of who will 'shine' in 31 and an 11 that may suffer with rotation in games during 32 so you have DGWs who only play 1 fixture.

          All of the theories are flawed, else it would be simple. I like it at least makes you think

  15. The real slim shady
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Have Kepa goal shold I:
    1: Swap Kepa to any goalkeeper playing week 27 and 31
    2: Swap Hamer (the benchwarmer) to Boruc

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1
      Kepa is way expensive for his CS potential
      Can get Fabs/Leister keeper

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. Get Fabianski

    3. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if you want Fabianski against City next week. I've just done the Hamer to Boruc swap.

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      Free hitting GW31 as I have 10 players out.

      They’ll all have DGW’s 32 so using bench boost for that week.

        What about 33?

    Not sure whether to keep Hazard and bench this week- playing AWB or sell which would release funds to spend elsewhere to prepare squad for week 31.

    A Keep Hazard or transfer to
    B Maddison
    C Anderson

      Haha exact same boat and after many many permutations I m keeping.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Stick to your plane they say and I decided to keep him since I bought him in gw 3 so that's also a factor in my choice 🙂

    Not sure what happened with my last post ^
    Ill try again.

    FH 32. Which plan looks best?

    A)
    GW27: Rich > Anderson
    GW28: Save
    GW29: Auba, Kola > Aguero, Pereira
    GW30: Save
    GW31: Aguero, Niasse, Jota > King, Barnes, Mane (-4)

    9 players: Fab, Digne, TAA, Pereira, Mane, Salah, Anderson, King, Barnes

    B)
    GW27: Save
    GW28: Son > Mane
    GW29: Auba, Kola > Aguero, Pereira
    GW30: Jota > Fraser
    GW31: Pogba, Aguero > Hazard, King (-4)

    10 players: Fab, Digne, TAA, Pereira, Mane, Salah, Fraser, Rich, Hazard, King

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A. But maybe get Aguero in GW28 instead of GW29:
      Aguero vs WestHam or Auba vs Bournemouth

    Good morning everyone. Any ideas what to do with this lot? Getting Auba would mean 8 players for GW with one hit. :/

    Patricio
    Doherty, Shaw, Robertson, Wan-Bissaka
    Salah, Son, Pogba, Sterling
    Jimenez, Rashford

    subs: Button -- Richarlison, Kamara, Balbuena -- 2 FT, 2.3 ITB

    A) Richarlison -> Fanderson/ Maddison and save FT
    B) Sterling & Kamara -> Maddison & Aubameyang
    C) Something else, what?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A Anderson for me
      Sterling will be gold 28/30

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Ajax that looks like a sensible move to make

    2. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A - Fandersen
      B keep Sterling for now and swicth to Mane before 31. Quite when you do that is a roll of the dice, frankly, and probably depends more on if / when you need to release the cash from the Sterling > Mane move

      1. Jam0sh

        Cheers for your opinion on this DD

    Am I reading something right that Spurs Son will play Liverpool and Crystal as a potential double GW32?

    Closely followed by Brighton and Huddersfield...

    Very tempted to hold Son thru blanks

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes that's a possibility

      1. Patch
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I might consider a Huddersfield defender based on paper...but you think a red herring?

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    3. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm, he still might have to go, he's a prime candidate. If he blanks in 33 as well. I say this because many will have more value tied up in Pogba so he's easier to sell/get back

      1. Patch
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Problem is I have Jiminez and rashford both with a similar value tho I take your point about GW35

  21. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fab
    VVD TAA AWB Bennett Digne
    Salah Son Pogba Anderson JWP
    Aguero Rashford Jiminez

    Digne > Lascelles

    next week

    JWP > Maddison

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Patch
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      How many you targeting to play in GW31?

      1. bigbudgie
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'll be fine with say 8 or 9...not going to go mental. After those two moves I can still save 2FT before 31

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yay

    3. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, good moves I think

  22. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    The armband goes to

    A. Son
    B. Felipe Anderson

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Are you feeling lucky ??
      If yes then go Anderson.
      He has the best fixture of the season
      Otherwise Son will shine anyway

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son for me I think

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son by miles.and stats not great at all I believe

    4. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

    5. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's one of those two or Pogba for me too. Anderson is really the maverik move. Imagine if it paid off. But that's like saying 'imagine what it's like to win the lottery' if you buy a ticket.

    6. Michelle Davin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B for me

    7. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

  23. Blame it on Traore
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any other non-Aguero owners looking to get him in for the gameweek 28-30 fixtures? Given his form I just think he's very hard to ignore.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep
      Auba to kun on the cards

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nice

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Can't fit him in unfortunately and armband will be on Salah anyway

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That's fair enough mate. Kun obviously doesn't help with planning for the upcoming fixtures but I think he's certainly worth factoring into things.

    3. wernerhedgehog
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yep. have no city players atm due to the sane triple captain boogaloo.

      gotta have 1 and it'll either be sterling or him.

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, agreed. I just don't think I want to go without any cover for those fixtures.

    4. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, considering it. Scared to go without, even if already owning Sterling. But then can't see him play all three PL games with CL and Carabao cup final.

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not sure when Jesus is back, but I don't think they can really afford to rest Kun if he isn't fit.

    5. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Doubling with Sterling until blanks - easy swap to anyone for BGW31

  24. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Morning ....any views on what to do here? 2ft....free hit in 32

    Fab (ederson)
    Robbo Doherty lindelof awb (bednarek)
    Salah son pogba (richarlison hazard)
    Rash jiminez (kamara)

    A.....hazard kamara and richi to auba (c) McNeil Anderson - 4 (auba to kun gw28)

    B .....richi and lindelof to Anderson and pereira (capt son).......gw28 will be hazard and Kamara to kun and McNeil- 4

    Thanks

    1. Collings
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It all depends on what you plan is for GW31 where there are only 5 fixtures. Looking at both your options you will only have 6 players playing (Fab, Robbo, Pereira, Anderson,Salah, Mcneil). So what transfers will you be doing in GW29 and 30?

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the response.

        Plan is to being in 3 or 4 more players during those weeks to field 9 or wo for bgw31

        Thanks

  25. Michelle Davin
    • 7 Years

    Its prob wise to keep Hazard now?

    1. FPL price manipulators are …
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I can't decide on chelsea. They're all over the place atm

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah 11 mil on a player that might not return for 3 or 4 games is why I got rid

  26. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Rashford to Auba/Laca (c) for -4 ?

    Have Pogba as United cover and not overly concerned with not getting BGW31 player

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no

  27. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Shaw to Chilwell?

  28. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    FAnderson or Maddison?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      fand

  29. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pereira still an option?

  30. jimmy.floyd
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Chilwell, Maguire or Pereira?
