Sterling scores as popularity falls among top 10k managers

Raheem Sterling‘s (£12.1m) popularity among the top 10,000 managers continues to shrink, although he punished his sellers in Gameweek 7.

Those that kept faith in the Manchester City midfielder were rewarded for their patience, not just in the form of points for their teams, but for the differential over those around them who moved him on.

After the Gameweek 6 deadline, Sterling sat in 48% of teams inside the top 10k, and was the third most popular midfield asset, behind only Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Kevin de Bruyne (£9.9m).

However, Saturday morning’s deadline has seen him drop to just 30% ownership in the upper echelons.

That makes him the fifth-most popular midfielder, behind Mason Mount (£6.6m) on 44.4% and Todd Cantwell (£5.0m) on 43.9%.

We knew that Sterling had been ditched by a large number of managers worldwide, but it is perhaps surprising to see his stock fall even among those in the top 10,000.

That said, it is probable that Sterling’s no-show in Gameweek 6 was responsible for shaking up the standings at that level initially as those without the midfielder were among that round’s highest-scorers.

Meanwhile, his performance at Goodison Park, in which he wasted a one-on-one chance with Jordan Pickford (£5.6m), may leave his owners in something of a quandary.

Despite that dreadful miss and a largely poor display, he still managed to get one effort over the line, spotted by goalline technology.

Not surprisingly, de Bruyne is now the most-fashionable asset in any position among the top 10k. The Belgian is currently in 85.8% of teams at this level – and celebrated his newfound popularity with two assists in the win over Everton.

Lundstram continues to be an incredibly popular FPL asset

As he continues to prove his value this season, John Lundstram (£4.4m) has risen to become the most popular defender among the top 10,000.

The Sheffield United man now sits in 64.6% of teams at this level having gone into Gameweek 7 as the top-scoring player in his classification.

This season’s most successful managers so far are generally looking for value in defence as the number of premium options being considered continues to fall.

Martin Kelly (£4.1m) and Diego Rico (£4.1m) are both in the top-five most-owned defenders among the top 10k, bringing the total of sub-£4.5m options to three.

Alexander-Arnold is now more popular than van Dijk in the top 10k but was outscored by him in Gameweek 7

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) has also been on the rise, perhaps at the expense of his colleague Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m).

The right-back was in 32.7% of top 10k teams in Gameweek 6, his centre-back colleague in 36.7% of them.

However, they have swapped over now, Alexander-Arnold now the more popular at the top level. He is in 43.1% of teams in the top 10k, while van Dijk is in just 27%.

Such a switch will have stemmed from Alexander-Arnold’s propensity for attacking returns although, in Gameweek 7, he was outscored by van Dijk, who collected bonus points at Sheffield United.

Up-front, the picture remains fairly similar to before, although it may change for Gameweek 8 given the host of blanks for the popular strikers this weekend.

Teemu Pukki (£7.2m) remains the most fashionable in this position, while Tammy Abraham (£7.5m) and Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) complete the top three – all goalless in Gameweek 7.

Captaincy largely went poorly for most managers in the top 10k

Speaking of goalless, that’s exactly what most of the captains were in the top 10k, as most FPL managers experienced a rotten start to Gameweek 7.

Salah was the most skippered option in the upper echelons with the backing of 26.5% of managers in the top 10k.

He came close to attacking returns at Bramall Lane but forced a strong save from Dean Henderson (£4.5m) when he was played through.

Aguero was just behind the Egyptian on 23% backing among the top 10k, not even start Manchester City’s trip to Everton, featuring only as a 65th-minute substitute – although claiming a late assist.

Ahead of Chelsea’s hosting of Brighton, Abraham was backed as the differential option by 16.2% of the top 10k.

That selection of managers will have been most frustrated to see the forward not take Chelsea’s second-half penalty, dispatched by Jorginho (£5.0m).

Finally, we can see once again that each week brings more weight to the findings among the top 10,000 managers.

In the early stages of the campaign, there was a high proportion of those who had used chips extensively in the first few Gameweeks.

However, we are now seeing that nearly 40% of the managers at this level are yet to use a single chip yet this season.

Meanwhile, 39.9% of them have already used one chip and we can see from the detailed breakdown that the Wildcard is now up to 44.7% usage in the top 10,000 managers.

      Needs City or Liverpool defence

      1. Jayv807
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Maxed out on City already and hoping pool concede in the next few GWs. But do plan to get TAA eventually.

        Thanks for the input.

        1. Djemba12
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          What about matip as a cheaper option? Not much of an assist threat but seems pretty nailed on atm

    3. Wensink
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Your back line could use some attacking potential.

      1. Jayv807
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, I know its weak, but can't decide which city attacker to downgrade to fund TAA, so will wait a few more weeks.

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      upgrade schar or dunk

  3. HellasLEAF
    • 14 Years

    Feels like almost every team the same this year.

    More so than other years.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Limited options

    2. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I know this has been the standard thing to say every week, every season for the last few seasons but feel like this was the wrong week to say it.

      For example in my mini league the top 5 teams had 5 different captains. It actually seems to be a point of transition.

      Who do you have that is so different from the template?

  4. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Tammy or Callum?

          Dendoncker - the guy who I was told by someone on here would be good enough as a 4th midfielder playing every week and would get 15+ attacking returns this season 😆

        Thinking about wildcard, and ditching my double pool defence.

        Which GK and back five would you look at? Now have

        Button Heaton
        VVD Robbo Digne Ota Lund

          Watchlist >>>>

        2. Djemba12
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Keep Ota and Lund,
          Keep one of VVD or Robbo or swap to TAA.
          6.1 for Digne seems way too much for me. better options at 5m and 5.5m. Maybe a Chelsea asset given upcoming fixtures?

      4. DGW Sane TC Fail....
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Currently have Ayew ,Salah and Cantwell...Considering taking a 8 point hit for Mane,Mount and Greenwood. Do you think it would pay off long term?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Nope

        2. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          not vs doing it gradually no

        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Only watched the highlights of Man C this morning but am I biased for thinking that Aguero assist was a bit of a gift?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Counted as a shot vs a cross.

            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            For those of us with sterling hoping the Aguero (C) would not see returns 🙂

              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Just feel like they should decide what the rules are and stick to them tbh

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                It's in the rules.

                1. Poseidon.
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  It’s in the rules that that is not an assist which is exactly my point

                  1. TorresMagic™
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • Has Moderation Rights
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).

                    1. Poseidon.
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      Why was the Vardy one not given last week?

                      1. TorresMagic™
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • Has Moderation Rights
                        • 14 Years
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        It wasn't a shot, a cross to a totally different area.

                        1. Poseidon.
                          • 5 Years
                          4 years, 6 months ago

                          Completely agree. Does anyone think Aguero was shooting earlier?

                      2. Poseidon.
                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        Btw I should probably point out that not only do I not own Vardy but I actually do own Aguero. Just feel the corruption among other things has made the game possibly not worth playing at this stage

                            I don’t think anyone’s bothered about integrity at this stage TM (FPL certainly isn’t :lol:) I’m retiring because I’m tired. Game is gone

                            Hmm, this almost comes across as a bit of a threat

        3. EMBOLOFAN

          There was huge deviation on Aguero's shot on goal. One rule for one another rule for others

        Because the Twitter template is rubbish and everyone around these parts has the Twitter template.

              I used to think that when I was a kid. Maybe that's why I still drink and smoke too much 🙂

          No, if you want Spam defence go centre; with Flappy crocked (not sure on how long) and with the Cress/ Masu uncertainty rotation and Fred offering little going forward,

        Initial thoughts on this for next week is that I can save FT with .7 ITB.
        Anything more radical it's all getting a bit meh? I presume many are feeling the same.

        Any suggestions?

          Really depends if you want to play 7 attackers.
          If 442, not much point.

          Team is fine. you'll get a green arrow next week.

          Set similar to me should be at least a small green well unless Auba kicks off tomorrow.

            I am thinking of getting rid of a forward for TAA too which would leave very very similar teams. I like it. Definitely not a WC candidate.

        5. SAY MY NAME
          • 6 Years

          don't think a wc team would be too much different, so save it for later when it will be more effective, team is good, gtg

        If ye are talking about he Kun assist above I am more that a bit anoiyed that Mane did not get what should have been a penalty assist.
        Did VAR not look at it?
        Here's the thing they say it has to be very obvious for VAR to change the on pitch decision but this was stone wall.

        it’s seems very volatile at the moment, so easy to rise or fall 500,000 OR

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah only about 30 points can mean about 1 mil rank change. Thing is if none of us are getting any points its not going to stretch out much.

      12. ChuckN
        • 14 Years

        Ahhh screwed by Sterling last week and Kun this week. Pep roulette just isn't worth the headaches any more.

        1. COYS Down Under
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Sure it is, biggest scoring team by a large margin. But KDB, Mahrez and one of the Silvas are a cheaper entry onto the roulette.

          I honestly didn't expect to see Jesus name when I checked the lineups. Pep surprises you when you start thinking you've sussed him

      13. ChuckN
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I rose 400k last round up to 270k. Already dropped 400k spots with a 34.

      14. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        ... still a few decent players across Leicester, Man U and Arsenal to go and if any of James, Auba, Vardy etc hit their straps it’s going to get a bit ugly for those ‘all out’ or with a dodgy defender left 🙁

        1. The Knights Template

          Laugh at them, like I did before they brought him in.

          1. No Salah

          I've just had a chat with Fred.
          It might work out.

        3. Chelsea91
          • 5 Years

          Change to Tomori

      17. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        What would you change with this side?

        Pope
        TAA, Lascelles, Lundstram
        Mane, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
        Aguero, Aubameyang, Pukki

        Button, Hayden, Mings, Rico

        I was planning on bringing a 4.6 defender in for Lascelles but funds have dwindled. I can only afford a like for like replacement at 4.4.Worth sticking with Lascelles, at home to MUN, and rolling my transfer?

        1. Optimus.
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          There's no point having a Newcastle defender if you don't play him vs Man U

          1. mikess
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Hmmm

      18. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        GW Rank of 5.8m with nobody left to play 😆

        Has anyone here ever gone over 6m?

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          800000 of us a week. Normally a low ranking gameweek is followed by a solid one as most tour key players return to form. Keep hope

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I meant ffs site. I've never seen anyone on here with a 6m plus he rank

            1. mikess
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Because they normally hide in the shadows when they get a poor rank

      19. Helia
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Haven’t been too active on here so unsure what everyone’s been saying.. but everytime I’ve seen mahrez play this season he has looked fantastic... and last night he was motm for sure.
        What do you think about sterling to mahrez?

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I think Mahrez is a solid option but expect the odd 1 pointer of the bench occasionally. A solid bench defender or 5th mid would be useful with him

          1. maratus
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Mahrez is far from solid option, when he plays half of the minutes. He have done quite well tho, but the difference with players like KDB, Sterling and Aguero will grow bigger and bigger. (Now you wanna say, that they are not in same price range, but 3 city is essential, and then you dont even watch price range)

          2. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I wouldn’t classify him as a “solid” option, simply because he isn’t nailed on.

            Other than that, he’s actually been unplayable so far this season. One injury to Bilva, Sterling etc, I’ll be all over him

          Not since records began

      22. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Who to play?

        A) digne vs burnley A
        B) cantwell vs villa H

        1. maratus
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          B

        2. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Cantwell

      23. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        36 point with greenwood to play

      24. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling to salah yes or no? 1 FT 0.8 ITB
        Pope
        TAA Robbo Ota Digne
        Sterling KDB Son Mount
        Abraham Haller

        4.0 cantwell kelly greenwood

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I’d be tempted to stick with Sterling until Salam’s fixtures improve

          1. Emiliano Sala
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Sterling has been playing too wide. Not really involved

            1. Hits from the Bong
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Agree. He’s playing very wide and is not at his best. At the end though when the game was stretched he was playing centrally and further forward than Aguero.
              He still scored, even when off-form and playing out wide in a tricky away game, the sheer number of goals City score make me want to hold

        2. sunzip14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          No. I'd rather downgrade Robbo and upgrade Haller to Vardy/Firmino if price allows

          1. Emiliano Sala
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

        G2g ?

        Adrian
        Lund Pieters AWB
        Mane Sterling KDB Mount
        Tammy Pukki Auba (C)

        Cantwell Kelly Soy

        Wud have done AWB out, but one last game against Newcastle who can't score

        1. sunzip14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          cant say gtg for the next gw when your players haven't even finished playing this gw

      26. Nightf0x

        4 years, 6 months ago

        Which?

        A) ryan to pope (have lowton)
        B) lanzini to mount (have abraham)
        C) ryan lanzini -4 to Pope mount (risky, as gw10 abraham to vardy, any vardy rise needs 2 rises from abraham)
        D) ryan lanzini -4 to 4.5 gk mount
        E) Kelly lanzini -4 to tomori 6.0 mid. (def. Lowton vvd ota lund)

        1. maratus
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Why you wanna ditch Lanzini before easy home fixture?
