Ahead of the Gameweek 6 deadline, we take a look at the data available to subscribers in our Members’ area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest to Fantasy managers’ and could help shape transfer decisions.
We’ve run down the stand-out figures in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could have a profitable weekend.
Members can read on for our analysis below.
Auba.
Auba. I’m gonna be watching behind the sofa as I don’t own and can’t get him in
Cheers both, seemed logical but worried after the midweek mins.
Auba
Villa decent at defending, i'd go KDB
I'm going KDB but if I had him, possibly Auba. It's tough, Villa are looking ok at the back and Auba played 90 minutes in the Europa, that's what would put me off.
Is Jamal Lewis (NOR, left wing) a potentially overlooked 4.5 defensive option?
People seem to dismiss Norwich for their defense in the opening weeks but let's not forget that they faced Liverpool, Chelsea and City so far. Conceded last minute goal vs. Newcastle and then two vs. in form Haller & co at WHU.
Norwich fixtures not too bad ahead. There's surely assist potential as-well there. Potential to be made or are there simply better 4.5ms there to consider? (I already have Soy for instance). His stats so far are on pair with Mings.
Norwich's defence is a no go.
Him or Hanley could be both decent enablers in the current landscape
Interesting you mention Hanley. He hasn't played for the last couple of games though.
I think so. Defence is giving me a headache at the moment - it seems like a toss up between looking for expensive defenders who can give you attacking returns or taking a few punts on cheaper ones. He seems a really good option at 4.5m and vs. say Walker at 6.0m who also doesn't seem to be able to keep clean sheets...what would you be missing out with Lewis?
I personally am going for Pukki, Haller and Abraham next week (Barnes -> Abraham) if everything goes to plan. That means I have to drop Zinch to someone to rotate with Soy and Lundstram and Soy is already there to cover Digne next week so yeah, for people in my position I think this might be a loop hole for those who're not going for 3 premium defenders.
I'm concerned with their poor defense, just like everyone else. But what better alternatives are there really? Underlying stats are great compared to same priced alternatives and fixtures looking okay. Norwich should only be scoring more goals from here on and as a winger he should be taking part every now and then.
I'm not sold on this idea just yet but totally wanted to throw it out there.
I just became a member for the first time! What's everyone's favourite part about being a member?
Members cup, hardly use it for much else 🙂
Thanks Rover! Am I still able to join or have I missed that boat?
Not started yet, their will be an article
*there
The RMT tool, just got into the Season Ticker (yikes I'm late...), the player comparison tool, etc.
Thanks mate!
Having a little grey Scout Avatar appear next to your name.
Lol
🙂
Stats tables.
Can get lost for hours with no result at the end
Haha
The members area and knowing I've supported the site a little 🙂
RMT tool. 🙂
I only use the season ticker really, not a stats man at all.
Any changes needed here? 1FT 1.5 ITB
Pope / Button
VVD Zinchenko Coleman Lundstram Montoya
Salah Sterling KDB James Dendocker
Wilson Pukki Greenwood
Considering....
A) Save FT > Coleman, Greenwood > Rico, Abraham next gw
B) Dendocker > Cantwell
C) Smth else
A
Ayew is the equivalent of Cantwell as a third forward
Ewwwwww
Very tempting to get rid of sterling and get son.
I don't think so he will play.
And if I can't captain a 12m player why should I have him?
I see your point. To a view point beyond this gw and see if you feel different. If not, sell him
Take*
Long term he will deliver points but I think he won't even start. I can't afford losing more and more points
Sterling or KDB for (C) ...really struggling with this...
Kdb
Feel Ster may not start...
Why wouldn't he?
Sterling..
Kdb, but both will start I feel
Alright then, a new version of my WC draft. How does this look?
Pope Button
Digne TAA Ward Lunds Rico
Mane KDB Son Mount Hayden
Vardy Abram Pukki
1.5 ITB
Vardy?
Nah, go Wilson and upgrade your hayden
Vardy has 3 home games in next 4. Plus he's more of a PL proven scorer and on pens. Happy to have him over Wilson. Can upgrade Hayden with cash ITB but 5th mid will be bench fodder only, so don't see the need of putting extra money in bench. Thanks!
Do you think he's worth 8.9?
He's a striker, he needs at least 2 goals to return double digit.
Maybe upgrade your ward.
But if you are happy with Vardy then keep him!
Isn't that true for every forward? And yes, I think he is worth it given his past record, Roger's attacking philosophy and City's fixture swing.
For Ward, I'm looking to take a punt on AMN.
Fair points mate!
I am not really a fan of expensive or more than 8.0 strikers.
Thanks and GL!
I went Vardy, Wilson & Pukki
I preferred your other WC draft
Salah Mane KDB Son Mount
Abram Pukki
I was on that till now but just thought:
1. Salah + 4.4 = 16.9
2. TAA + Vardy = 16
I think as a combo 2 wins plus I get 0.9 cash.
Slouch87 appreciation post.
Hi all. Been lurking lately. Just wanted to say Slouch is my favourite poster and I love him. A true staple amongst the community. Always happy. Gives great advice and just a great guy.
Please don’t upvote but if Slouch has ever made you smile, please leave a smiley face 🙂 So we can show this legend just how much he means to us.
*Always grumpy
Hi Slouch.
Your sarcasm detection skills need honing 😉
I'm working on it.
Well he contributes a lot more than you tbf
And you are who exactly?
*sings to the tune of yee old red hot chillies*
"dream of paaabloofoooórnicáaatiiion"
He is my favourite poster too.
He's after an invite slouchy. I can feel it
I have it on good authority that Slouch eats babies and drinks the blood of his victims.
I think you are getting us mixed up . Come on Epic get with the programme
Pope
TAA Dunk Digne Lundstram
Mount Salah Sterling Cantwell
Kane Wilson
Bench - Heaton, Kelly, Dendoncker, Greenwood
Have 1.8 ITB what transfer should I make? Cheers
looking at doing sterling and haller to kun(c) and either dilva or cantwell
thoughts please
I had David silva but transferred him out after he playing 56 mins with Norwich.
Do you think he play enough minutes
not too sure anything can happen with pep roulette
Depends on Mount injury but would be inclined to:
A) Mount -> Cantwell, save transfer and go to 343 next week
B) Mount, VVD, Greenwood -> Cantwell, Tammy, 5m def (-4)
Ryan
Digne Robbo VVD Zink
Salah Sterling KDB Mount**
Barnes Pukki
Button / Lundstram Dendoncker Wickham
2FT 0ITB
WC draft:
Pope // Button
Trent, Mings, Lowton // Lunds, Rico
Sterling, Mount, Cantwell, Son, Mane
Pukki, Aubameyang // Greenwood
Bench and defense are much too thin, right?
Guilbert or Masuaku
Very tough, which child do you like more?
Haven't seen either of them play this year but know Masuaku has been killing it so leaning that way
Which one?
1) Kelly, Keane
2) Sokratis, Aurier
2 has really good fixtures and is a bit riskier but I think would reward me more.
5.5M for a Everton defender seems like a lot
I don't like either of those options, surely there's others?
Sadly I need to play one of these:
A Hayden
B Guendouzi
C Mings.
Who would you start?
A
Kyle Walker-Peters is fit again, but is he likely to regain his starting place or not?
Just transferred him out, pretty sure Aurier will keep his place for now!
Hope not otherwise there goes Aurier
Hmmm...he doesn't look nailed to me. Reckon he'll start at the weekend but Aurier will start some too.
Are you tempted? I think there's better value a price point down with mings or lowton
Definitely wouldn't get him in, it's just that I already have him
Right.
Anyone think Iwobi is a good transfer in for Mount?
It's a marathon not a sprint pal, Mount is only out for a week, hold your little horses.
This ull want him bck next week
yah but my marathon includes getting rid of Mount and adding a third striker with Abraham. Funding partially with Mount so Iwobi is a consideration (as is Cantwell). Thoughts on Iwobi?
A. Dendo > Mount
B. Greenwood > Tammy
C. Hold ft, wait out the liverpool game and take the price rise/fall on the chin like a man (will still easily be able to afford after)
Hold. Tough game for Tammy and tougher without Mount.
Are there any mids priced 7.0 max that have a greater points potential (in your opinion) than Robbo?
Buendia, Mount, Cantwell (for the next 5-6 weeks until fixtures change)
and Mcneil
i go mount and cantwell
Probably not
GTG?
Pope
Digne. Montoya. VVD.
Salah. KDB (v) Cantwell. McGinn.
Aguero (c). Wilson. Pukki.
Button. Mount. Rico. Mings
Yeah
What to do? 1ft 1,7 itb.
Pope Henderson
Digne AWB Emerson Burn Lundstram
Sterling KDB Lanzini Mount Cantwell
Agüero Pukki Barnes
Ummm upgrade Emerson > LIV def.
Pope (heaton)
AWB TAA lund (pieters kelly)
Sterling kdb mount* ceballos (cantwell)
Kun pukki heller
1ft, 2.0
A mount /heller to 4.5 /Auba
B sterling / heller to son / auba
C other??
That is a C) save ft, for me.
Really not fancying my team this week:
Pope, Button
TAA, Otamendi, Soyuncu / Lundstram, Mings
Sterling(c), Salah, Mount*, KDB, McGinn
Pukki, Haller / Greenwood
1FT, 1.4 ITB...
Save FT?
I am considering Greenwood to Ayew in case Mount out
Save
Anyone else considering a Palace defender, seem to have a nice few fixtures.
Well I'm sure somebody will be but not me
Not until i see better than 4-0
2/2 home clean sheets so far, and the other two games were hardly hammerings
Yep, looking at Ward
PVA owner, that -2 last GW hurt!
Currently on WC. Any further changes can be made to this team? I am 0.1m short to upgrade Guilbert/Gunn to a 4.5m/4.6m
Gunn
TAA Aurier Guilbert Lundstram Rico
Mane KDB Son Mount* Hayden
Aguero Pukki Abraham
Hayden to play this week if Mount injured
Not sure about Aurier but the rest looks fine.
Everyone still like Barnes? Easy swap from Wesley with 1.0m itb
Burnley have some good fixtures coming up so he should bag a few I think.
Wood is very hungry, surely he'll feed soon.
yeah good call
Yeah we (villa) don't seem to have many goals in us at the mo.
Anyone considering Vardy on their WC? Has 3 home games out of next 4 and after the Pool game, pretty much a free run through to December.
who to start?
a. suyuncu (TOT)
b. lundstram (eve)
c. rico (sou)
thanks
Rico will give you a green arrow tomorrow 😉
A) Play Zinchenko and downgrade next week to enable Abraham in. Not use any FTs.
B) Trade Zincenko out now to use 1 of 2 FTs to enable Abraham in next week.
a
Who would u trade Zinc out fir then in B?
4 years, 7 months agoCaptain Auba (AVL) or KDB (WAT)...
