Buy, keep or sell Sterling and Aguero? FPL Question Time decides

The international break has come to a close and Fantasy Premier League managers can focus their full attention on Gameweek 9.

The usual dilemmas over big-budget assets haven’t gone away, so we have put together another panel of FPL bosses to share their thoughts on the likes of Raheem Sterling (£12.1m), Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) and the premium v mid-price forward debate.

Our guest pundits also ponder whether a cut-price route into the Spurs backline – aka Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.4m) – is too good to be true…

WHO’S ON THE PANEL THIS WEEK?

Hindu Monkey – Longtime Scout poster with a brutal blog to boot, HM has delivered excellent insight throughout his FPL career. His best finish in a fantastic 11-year history was an excellent 2,932nd and he rose to recent Twitter-fame for his founding of the Barnes Train™ movement.

Gregor – Part of the moderator team, Gregor has an enviable FPL history with three top 1k finishes and a further three inside the top 10,000, with a best overall rank of 29th in the world in 2016/17.

G-Whizz – Also part of the moderator team and currently in his fifth FPL season, G-Whizz managed a personal best finish of 4,404th in 2018/19.

Neale – Deputy editor of Fantasy Football Scout, who has three top 5k finishes to his name. Neale is currently second in the FFS Mods and Cons league.

QUESTIONS

RubberDucky: Is it still best to go with one premium striker up front, or should we spread the cash over three mid-priced forwards?

Hindu Monkey: Previously I’ve always preached the value of one premium forward for balance and flexibility, but this season I have to say I don’t think it matters as much.

There are only seven premium players in the game (Aguero, Aubameyang, Kane, Salah, Mane, Sterling and the never-dropping KDB) and you can only really own three of them. But I don’t think it matters which three and what positions they play.

There are more £6m-£8m strikers firing than midfielders right now, so I see nothing wrong with have Sterling, KDB & Salah/Mane in the middle and say Tammy, Haller & Wilson up front. The only caveat I would throw in is that the premium players are just that for a reason. The top four midfielders are currently all named above, as are the top two strikers (only Kane is letting the side down). I would still expect Aguero and Aubamayang to be the highest-scoring strikers come Gameweek 38 and at least owning one means you can get to the other without a hit.

Neale: My own current preference is for three mid-price forwards, although that has been born out of the value to be had among sub-£8.0m strikers rather than anything that two of my own premium midfielders, Mohamed Salah and Raheem Sterling, have done of late.

While big-budget midfielders have dominated the FPL points table in the last two campaigns, there isn’t much in it this season.

I can see the value in both approaches (having one premium striker at least allows you the option to switch between Messrs Kane, Aguero and Aubameyang at will, depending on fixtures and form) but I think the fact that the four highest-scoring players who are available for less than £10.0m are all strikers reinforces my approach.

The return of Alexandre Lacazette and its positional impact on Aubameyang, Kane’s middling returns and Aguero’s rotation risk are all caveats to the premium forwards in my mind, but I’d be kidding myself if I didn’t think that Sterling and Salah were without their own issues at present.

G-Whizz: The GOAT, Mark Sutherns, showed last season what success could be had with three budget or mid-priced strikers and the last time I looked he’s gone the same route again with Pukki, Abraham and Wilson.

I’ve kind of gone down the same road but for me, the Pukki party is over and I’ve finished my beer, crushed the can and slam dunked it into the bin. So I’ve waved goodbye to the host and got rid to bring back Wilson to line up with Abraham and Haller.

I do prefer the flexibility of the trio of mid-price strikers and they haven’t been doing too bad to disregard as an option. Only time will tell whether that’s the right trio over the next few Gameweeks but I quite like the run of fixtures they all have so I’m prepared to try and have some patience and see it out for the foreseeable.

That being said, plenty of managers in the top 50k have had great success with one premium up front – take Sam (FPL Family) as one example – so it all depends which way you want to go and how you prefer your team to be set up. Sam currently has as her premium striker Harry Kane, and at around that price bracket you’ll have the option of Aubameyang and at a stretch maybe even Aguero.

Personally, Harry has been a hard one for me to predict his hauls. Aubameyang looks certainly nailed with Lacazette out injured and Aguero will always have that explosive ability and doesn’t head the forwards’ points table for nothing. Hokey-cokeying could work out but could always see you jump ship at the wrong time. Get it right though and it could be a winner.


fusen: What to do with Raheem Sterling? Is he worth keeping in a Wildcard and hoping he eventually starts scoring points worthy of the cost or is it time to get rid and invest elsewhere?

Gregor: I think he’s a keeper for now. Fourteen points over the last five Gameweeks is bitterly disappointing but given the strength of Manchester City’s next three fixtures, their need for wins and their emphasis to go on the attack, I think the returns should be just around the corner.

I see there’s been some chat around Sterling being pushed out further wide in recent games and whilst there could be truth in that, I don’t think it’s a strategy that has worked out well and there could be a bit of a tactical rejig in store for those plum fixtures to come. Sterling’s underlying numbers are still strong, which can be seen on Joe’s ever-brilliant Goals Imminent table – so I would be keeping the faith in the short term at least.

Neale: Sterling has always been a bit feast or famine, prone to as many frustrating blanks as he is double-digit hauls. I think back to Gameweeks 15-22 last season when he didn’t score more than six FPL points in a single fixture and remember a similar twitchiness to what we’re experiencing now.

I’ve had him since Gameweek 1 of this season and kept him despite the opportunity to offload in an enforced Wildcard.

Here’s why: he has scored 463 points and banked 67 attacking returns in the last two seasons combined.

He has earned, in my mind, the right to overcome this mini-drought, just as he did in December 2018 when his hauls dried up and City went through a little blip.

Pep Guardiola’s side (usually) hit the back of the net for fun and they are top of the table for pretty much every conceivable underlying stat, be it xG, shots in the box, big chances, shots on target or plain and simple actual goals scored.

The 2-0 reverse against Wolves has to be put in context, too, as that was the first time they had failed to score in the league at the Etihad since May 2018, when they had already sealed their first Premier League crown under Guardiola.

Having Kevin De Bruyne back and swinging those far-post deliveries in from the right flank ought to aid his cause, while it’s worth remembering that Sterling’s one rest this season came in the 8-0 win over Watford. Had he played in that match and been rested in, say, the Norwich game instead (as De Bruyne was), he could feasibly be sitting top of the FPL points pile at present.

There are two things I’ll be watching out for: a) whether he continues to hug the touchline as has been noted in some quarters (it didn’t stop him from getting into excellent positions v Everton) and b) whether rotation is more commonplace for him this season than it was last, as might well be the case.

I’ll reassess if those two scenarios do pan out and if the points are still failing to arrive as we approach December but for now, it’s a hold for me.


shaungoater123: Who is the best option for those who need to replace Adrian this week? Is Paulo Gazzaniga an option even with Spurs’ poor form and patchy fixtures?

G-Whizz: My first thought after reading this was a straight flat ‘no chance’! Spurs defence? Nah mate, there’s better than that about surely!? Then when you look at doing a straight swap with no funds in the bank the prospects look a bit daunting, as you would need to find a £4.5m-and-below goalkeeper.

In that range, you have the choice of Heaton, Ramsdale, Henderson and then Gazzaniga as the best of the rest. If we look at just the next five fixtures using the Fantasy Football Scout fixture ticker, the order of difficulty ranks it as Bournemouth, Tottenham, Aston Villa and then last of all Sheffield United.

Ramsdale would be a gamble to keep a clean sheet against Norwich (home), Watford (away), Manchester United (home), Newcastle (away) and Wolves at home. Maybe a shut-out against Norwich or Newcastle could be a possibility but if anyone can predict when clean sheets are going to happen please let me know the secret!

Tottenham, meanwhile, face Watford (home), Liverpool (away), Everton (away), Sheffield United (home) and West Ham (away). I can actually see them at least keeping one, even two clean sheets in that run, so at £4.4m, Gazzaniga may be the best of a not-too-great bunch to choose from. I actually reckon it’s worth a gamble when all said and done!

Gregor: I don’t think those who invested in Adrian at the start of the season will be too happy with their returns, especially as they knew it was only a short-term move and now they have an enforced transfer to make. In the same way, I wouldn’t be looking at Paulo Gazzaniga either as I don’t think he’s a good goalkeeper and, as you say, Spurs’ form and fixtures are not great.

There are some really good and cemented options in the budget price bracket this year. Nick Pope at £4.7m scored a mighty 152 points in his one full season at Burnley and is exactly on course to hit that number again this year, whilst Mat Ryan (£4.6m) at Brighton finds himself second in the overall goalkeeper standings and comes with the added bonus of a £4m deputy you could back him up with, so I would be looking at those guys.

Hindu Monkey: All good things come to an end or, in Adrian’s place, all hopelessly mediocre things come to an inevitable and limp conclusion. The stopper has averaged less than three points per game and sits 16th in the list of goalkeepers.

Those who thought they could have a cheap entry into Liverpool’s defence have not been rewarded and I would urge caution to anyone trying to do the same with Gazzaniga.

Spurs look a shadow of the team that has shone at points over the past few years and have conceded more goals in their last two games than United and Arsenal have all season. They have also just resigned Michel Vorm, a player who threw away his peak years as a keeper to be Lloris’s understudy – the FPL equivalent of still owning Lucas Digne.

If you’re looking for a keeper in that bracket, Nick Pope still appears to be the light that shines brightest when all others go out. But my pick would probably be Mat Ryan. Brighton look a different team under Potter and have a nice mini-run over the next few matches.


OleGGMU: Given form and fixtures and rotation threats, what are your thoughts on Sergio Aguero?

Neale: It’s incredibly difficult not to let owner bias creep into judgements of players.

As I’ve discussed above, I have backed Sterling over Aguero this season and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The main argument against Aguero at present seems to be the threat of rotation (I even mentioned this in my premium forward answer) but that is true of pretty much every City asset and, as the points column shows, the risk is often worth the reward: the Argentinean striker and Kevin De Bruyne lead the way for FPL points this season, despite only starting six of City’s eight league games.

For the next three fixtures, he surely has to be held – even if he warms the bench in at least one of them.

Beyond that, the fixtures don’t look so great but then, Aguero is often Guardiola’s big-game player and his record against the ‘big six’ last season (eight goals and one assist in nine starts) was unsurpassed.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I think this is a ‘hold for now and assess in the next international break’-type deal.

By then we will perhaps have a clearer picture of Aubameyang (i.e. has he been shunted out to the left), for those considering a sideways move.

For the owners thinking of downgrading and reinvesting the money into midfield, we will have more evidence on the likes of Sterling, Mane and Salah, with a Liverpool premium double-up a potential option given the Reds’ favourable run from Gameweeks 13-21.

Hindu Monkey: I am an Aguero owner and have been since the Brighton game. He has four goals and three assists for me in just five Gameweeks and I’m not going to complain about that. He has returned for me as a captain twice.

Yes, he is a slight rotation risk – more so than Aubamayang and Kane certainly – but he also has a higher ceiling than both and for me is worth sticking with, certainly after Jesus has been off with Brazil and he’s been stuck at home.

Kun is still the main man at City and his next four are cry, AVL, SOU, liv. He’ll certainly play Gameweeks 9 and 12 and can I remove him for Villa and Saints at home on the chance Pep might give him a breather? I don’t think so. Especially when the only non-Premier League games in this block are a home EFL Cup match and two highly winnable fixtures against Atalanta in the Champions League.

After the next international break, where Aguero is expected to be called up by Argentina again, it gets a lot more complicated.

I would certainly not want to own him for the busier festive schedule (where City’s fixtures also turn for the worse) and that is where I would expect Jesus to be born again. So to conclude – a superb option until Gameweek 13, but after that, I would approach with caution.

    Maddison or Vardy ? Show your workings. Can’t decide

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      1.8m elsewhere. Neither have great stats but great fixtures

        Considering Wilson and using the extra cash to upgrade elsewhere !

    2. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Following this, I want Vardy as see his point ceiling being a lot higher but hoping my mind can be changed

    3. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years

      Maddison
      Pro: Cheaper. On set pieces. Not a striker, which allows three good non-Vardy strikers. Fun to watch.
      Con: Not always getting points despite his important role. When Leicester demolish an opponent you wouldn't be surprised if Maddison get nothing.

      Vardy
      Pro: Main man. High ceiling. (C) material at times.
      Con: Take a striker spot. Mediocre underlying stats (if you think that is a problem for him).

    Is Naby Keita's Liverpool career over before it ever started?

    Any chance he'll force his way into the team this season?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Going to need a miracle. Injuries have not worked in his favour and looks like he is finding it hard to adapt to life in England.

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

      Someone brought this up the other day actually. I think it’s just the system doesn’t suit him very well unfortunately it’s a shame. Wijnaldum being in incredible form this season isn’t helping him

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Wiljnaldum has earned his spot

    3. Atwood
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If he could stay fit I think he'd be a great addition for Liverpool. He showed flashes of it last season. Needs a long run in the team.

        Plan is to get them back in after the next 4/5 fixtures probably losing sterling

        1. Mr. Mystic
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Never like the idea of having a team where you’ll ‘get the players back’, could come back to bite. Could you not downgrade your front three? Keep Abraham and Wilson for now? Then save some funds for straight upgrade from Wilson to Vardy?

          1. Sid123
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years

            I get your point. The team above leaves me with 1.8 in the bank, it's just how to use it most effectively? Thanks for your feedback both of you! Keep it coming please!

            1. Mr. Mystic
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Yes as long as you have a clear strategy you’ll be fine. Just looking out as you can never plan for injuries/price changes!

    I do like Ole as person, he is a fine guy..but clearly, his managerial life at its end.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If he was a fine guy he wouldn’t have kid himself, the board and most importantly the fans that he was a tactically astute and intelligent enough manager for a club like Manchester United. If I was a fan I’d feel betrayed by everything to do with them.

      1. Celt Abroad
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Look he clearly loves the club, and of course he should have taken the chance. It’s the fault of the people who chose him, not Ole.

    Why are people selling Salah​? Am I missing something here?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      3 bad weeks will do that to any player

      See also Sterling

      It always ends in tears. Always.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Problem with Salah is he’s looked poor too, on the eye. Sterling not as much

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          He had that flurry of 7 returns in his first 6 games, and the champions league brace after the Sheffield blank...

          But at that price and with Mané going BOOM-blank-blank-BOOM in his last 4 the boat was always going to be a little lop sided

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Eye test for me. Mane looks better

      1. FPL_DON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This, Mane looks the far better option

    3. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A combination of poor recent returns, trickier fixtures, the injury flag, and seeing the sales.

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Also, having Salah I feel the need to captain him each week, which has been quite boring so far this season if I'm honest. Looking forward to a captaincy punt this week.

  12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    European Golden boot winners last 10 seasons:

    Messi 6
    Ronaldo 3
    Suarez 2
    (CR7/Suarez shared it in ‘14)

    That’s 10 consecutive years a Barcelona or Madrid player has won it... and 7 out of 10 for Barca

    Wow

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You have to admit though La Liga isn't the same standard as the prem. Those 2 teams tend to dominate fairly easily.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Put those two (Or three) in any league and there would be only two teams over the last 10years probably... it’s not the teams basically. Although la liga is weak

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yep

        Ron won it at Utd too

  13. kysersosa

    Option

    A) Pukki away to Bournemouth

    or

    B) Jimenez home to Southampton

    Will be on a FT

    A) Robertson, Greenwood --> Prodl, Wilson
    B) Robertson, Pukki --> Tomori, Wilson
    C) Salah, Greenwood --> Yarmolenko (or CHO), Wilson

    Current team;
    Pope
    TAA Robertson Otamendi Lundstram Rico
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Abraham Pukki Greenwood

    Thanks

      Hmmm. None of the above tbh. Maybe Sterling, Greenwood to Maddison, Wilson?

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

        I don't rate Maddison very highly as an fpl asset (or any Leicester attacker other than Vardy) and City's next two fixtures after Palace are great so wouldn't do that but thanks for the input anyway!

    Thoughts on this draft all?
    Only having one City player feels weird. Is that a huge mistake?

    Button - Pope
    TAA - Tomori - Soyuncu - Lundstram - Rico
    Salah - Mount - De Bruyne - McGinn - Saka
    Aubameyang - Abraham - Pukki

      I like it!

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'm considering same. Mane over Salah then Pukki to Wilson if possible for me

      1. Atwood
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Those are the exact two moves I'm debating too mate

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I've gone Mane and Wilson in for Salah and Pukki on my WC but it's one that could go either way.

    Is Aguero okay after his car crash? Heard it was only a small collision

    1. Collie01

      Huh?

      Weird that this is the second time this has happened to him in recent years - remember he was in that taxi crash in Amsterdam?

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, that actually injured him pretty badly as well

      "SkySports report that Aguero was not hurt in the accident and was able to fully participate in City’s training session on Wednesday afternoon without the need of medical attention."

      Excellent overall. Triple Che I would probably not do. Not sure the appeal of Hendo/Heaton combo ...

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years

        Hendo set but Heaton for 13/14 as Tottenham away then deno can't play vs man u

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      No, Aurier has WAT next.

  20. Pep Roulette

    Salah & Adrian to Mane & Schmeichel for a hit?

  21. D.Glynn

    Little help with my WC.

    A). Wilson, CHO, Saka(ars)

    On a WC and 1.2m short of the below, what change(s) would you make to keep in budget?

    Pope McGovern
    TAA Lund Soyuncu Rico Kelly
    Sterling Mane KDB Mount Nakamba
    Abraham Wilson Vardy

    Thanks

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Almost the very same as my WC team except I've gone Jimenez instead of Vardy. And Ota instead of Kelly.

      1. FPL_DON
        • 9 Years

        Thanks mate, nice team haha!

    2. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Vardy and Nakamba to Maddison and Connolly

  23. cuppatea78

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Is it worth a 4 point hit to do the following move this week?

    Digne -> Tomori
    Pukki -> Abraham

    In the next week or so I basically want to change my front 3 from:

    Kane, Pukki, Greenwood --> Vardy, Wilson Abraham
    The Digne move will allow this to happen.

    PSG have kept 9 CS in 11 League & Champions League games this season

    Gueye is a decent DM isn’t he

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Nope, they just play in an easy league

    2. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      He is brilliant. Players like Gueye or Kante really transform teams by giving them a solid base.

  25. Bad Kompany

    Is Alonso an option? Will he keep his place?

      His hearing has been postponed until Oct 21st, annoyingly.

    My moves start of GW9, call me crazy but have been fiddling for the last 2 weeks non stop.

    Rico Pukki Abraham to Robbo Auba to start GW10 and Ayew will be for my bench as I am planning ahead for GW18 when my triple Pool wil have a blank GW. Also want to do 352 from now on.

    Hopefully Tierney is a fully fleged starter GW9 for my extremely PUNTY moves start of GW10 which will be Dunk Cantwell Mount to Tierney Djenepo Trossard.
    Crazy I know. This all depends on the fitness of Djenepo and Trossard though otherwise I will have to hold until they are back on the pitch again but this is what it will look like.

    Pope
    Tierney TAA Robbo
    McGinn Salah KDB Djenepo Trossard
    Vardy Auba

    Button Ayew Aurier Lundstram

    My rank is either going to say 'Hi, hello can you see me' or 'WTF have I done' 🙂

  30. Ian Davis

    Maddison or McGinn?
