The Numbers Game – Relegation Candidates

As the scrap for survival enters the final four Gameweeks of the season, today’s Members article assesses the top performers from the bottom five sides over each side’s respective last four fixtures. Using our own ICT Index and the Opta stats available, we analyse the top five from each of the relegation candidates, assessing their form and the potential offered ahead of what will prove to be a frantic finish to the 2011/12 Premier League campaign. As luck would have it, this also doubles up as an assessment of those players in form amongst the ranks of Villa and Bolton – those teams with two fixtures in Gameweek 35…

Check out my team in my link^ but i need some advice on my plan...

this GW: i play against - http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/604120/history/
plan to get rid of rvp for tevez (would aguero be a better choice?)
then get rid of mclean for ben arfa (-4)

next GW: get rid of rooney for adebayor
then get rid of maybe sessegnon for any midfilder uner 11.3(havent decided yet)

sound like a good plan? especially on the transfer of rvp to tevez/aguero im not sure if i should go through with it...

    Play Verm. He could score and tired Chelsea may rest strikers.
    
    Play Mingolet. Sunderland aren't doing it up front, but their defence is solid. Wigan are scoring even against tough opposition so Fulham clean sheet is far from safe.

Worked out I can get one of each player in each position for the DGW

Walker or Huth

BenAfa or Pienaar

Bale or VDV

Currently on Walker, Pienaar, Bale, am 41 pts ahead in my mini league so not planning any major risks, look ok?

    I don't know if he will, but I'd bet on him scoring ahead of Welbeck. I think Group A are most likely source of cleanies at group stage.. but tbh, its pretty hard with the pricing. Will probably revise alot once I see the cheap bandwagons going on this page. Atm I can't see any real bargains.

        Ahh right, I had actually forgotten about Villa to be completely honest. Could well be Llorente's time to shine, which I wouldn't complain about. Would also love to see him use his actual second name so Spain could play the two Fernando Torreses (Torri plural? 😛 )

        If Villa is out I am going to keep Llorente as I believe he would be favoured over Soldado and Torres. Not sure of Robben. I am not sure how to go Dutch. I may get Benzema instead and not have any Dutch players.

        You've had a cracking good last few months. With that WC in your pocket there is a chance of a top 5k finish i'd say.
        
        tbh i'm not sure it's worth a 4 point hit just to get a City striker for this week. I agree that selling RVP/Rooney isn't a great idea. I'm likely to be going without a City striker as i have the 2 above plus Cisse. All 3 could easily outscore Tevez/Aguero.

        Adebayor could even outscore them despite being away from home and in patchy form. QPR aren't exactly good at home and he may be on pens too if VDV doesn't start. Tough call

Leading my mini league by 14.

Worth taking an 8 point hit to get rid of Graham & Sess?
Would have a minimum of 13.9 to spend.

Which combo is better?

a) Cisse + Moses
b) Ben Arfa + 7.9m striker
c) another combo

Team is http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/5003/event-history/34/

With a) they are differentials, with b) it might cover HBA.

      I think Jelly and Ben Arfa is your best bet with that budget. BA > Moses after DGW.
      
      Jelly has good fixtures up to the end (of course, no good this week), while Cisse's turn sour in GW37.

Chasing a 40pt lead and also got 3 other opponents in the mix, two about level with me and one about 30pts ahead of me. For days I have been thinking about what to do but it's suddenly hit me...do nothing.

I don't have either City strikers (I have Yaya Toure)
I don't have Dempsey
I don't have any Newcastle offensive players
I don't have any Spurs players
I don't have Walcott
I don't have any Bolton/Villa players

While everyone around me tries to 'make a move' I am going to make my move by simply doing nothing this week, saving my transfer and have 2 for the double, where I will be able to see how my opponents are shaping their squads for it by their transfers this week.

RVP (c) for me also.

Let's hope it pays off.

        I don't think City will thrash Wolves and then they face United so don't fancy Aguero/Tevez.
        Fulham play one of the in form teams in the league (Wigan) and then have two trips to Merseyside where goals have been hard to come by for opposition sides this season (Liv 13 conceded at home and Eve 14)
        I will give you Newcastle but Cisse won't score forever and I'd be more tempted to go with Ba for the differential as he's still on pens and is still getting chances.

        My line up this week fwiw is
        
        Reina
        Evans/Kompany/Williamson
        Yaya/Sess/Sig/Valencia
        Rooney/RVP/Suarez
        
        Think it will do pretty well in all honesty.
        
        Solid defence 3/4 at home and the away at Wolves
        Valencia at home to Everton with no Baines
        Sig is dynamite away from home
        For some reason I fancy one of Yaya/Sess to get a big haul
        Rooney at home to Everton
        RVP at home to a tired Chelsea
        Suarez at home to WBA who they thrashed earlier in the season

        Neither does the performance of a player on a different team the week before mean sh!t in terms of determining what Rooney is going to do. I figure he may well score. Probably will, to my dismay. He's a great player. Has nothing whatsoever to do with what Dempsey or Aguero may have done though.

  I think he'll bag a goal against them for once. Rooney is always likely to score at OT anyway but with Everton left with nothing to play for, United being at home, Baines being out etc it seems to be set up to be an easy home win even more than usual.

    Everton never checks out at end of season. Even when "nothing to play for". No I think it's possible that he scores, but Everton defense generally solid and they generally get up well for big games.

      Yep. Second half of the season is where Everton shine and they won't roll over, it certainly won't be a rout, but in the last 4 seasons Everton have always lost their game against United at OT. I don't see that changing and I expect Rooney to get on the scoresheet this time.

Good morning fettlers

Which one of these would you bench this week: Siggy, Dempsey, Walcott, Valencia, Bale?

I've been tending towards benching Bale all week owing to Spurs poor away form but with QPR needing at least a point and having to attack there might well be a few goals in this one. Walcott could either disappear into Cole's pocket or have a decent game, although he was bobbins against Wigan the other night. Valencia just chugs along picking up the assists and the odd goal. It's a tricky one, that's for sure.

Front 3 are Rooney, Cisse, RVP. Cheers.

    The last time i doubled up at the back on Newcastle it ended in tears and since then i've benched Simpson and missed out on a couple of clean sheets. Stoke are hardly prolific away from the Brit. But like i said above i'd be purely playing Verm for his attacking threat and fully expecting him to concede.
    
    Saying that i'd probably play him ahead of Caulker in your position 🙂

      I'm still mulling over playing Verm over Caulker at the minute myself but that's the way I currently have it. Like you, I do not see a CS for Arsenal in that game so Verm has to deliver attacking returns and I'm still not sure I want to gamble on that.
      
      A lot of people would disagree with my advice not to double up on Newcastle. The thought behind it being, if you think Krul has a good chance of CS then surely you think Simpson has the same chance and you should back both. It is one situation where people do believe the myth of "coverage" has some credence. I just find that spreading the risk wins in the long run. Sometimes you'll miss out on the double CS, other times the defence worthy of doubling up actually concedes and you're glad you halved the damage. With CS' being so unpredictable I tend to always aim for the latter.

        My thinking is the same when it comes to doubling up at the back. It's a high risk strategy which i generally shy away from. However in this case i think it may be worth it.
        
        As i mentioned above, Stoke have scored the fewest away goals in the league and Newcastle have conceded 0 in their last 3 home games. All point to a 1-0 or 2-0 win to Newcastle.

  There is no clear right move. It is not clear whether the switch will be worth it in the long run. It is not clear who to sell (Rooney or RVP). It is not clear who to get (Aguero or Tevez).
  
  The only thing that is guaranteed is that if you stick with what you have, you will have one more free transfer to work with next week. I am therefore banking that positive and rolling with the punches this weekend. Good luck.

    Agree. I already shifted Cisse in and am shifting Rooney out next. Odds of Cisse score vs Stoke probably slightly better than Rooney score vs Everton. (Not saying that just because of my grav)

Morning chaps, what do we think to these moves?

GW35: Walcott -> Bale
GW36: Turner & Rooney -> Terry & Adebayor

This gives me 7 DGWers in GW36 for no hits, with Caulker (WOL), Siggy (WOL), Sess (BOL) and RVP (sto) making up my 11 that week. Any of these players worth taking a hit for to replace with a DGWer in GW36? After the above transfers I'll have 1.2m in the bank. Team linked. Cheers

    Yeah, I decided not to make the Aguero move since I'd most likely be swapping him out in GW36 which meant I could either have Rooney (EVE) + 4points, or Aguero (wol). I'm top in my ML by 9 points so don't need any differentials. You reckon the 7 DGWers I'd have with the above is sufficient?
    
    Bogdan, Terry, Skrtel, Bale, Dempsey, P Cisse, Adebayor

  I would be amazed if Terry didn't miss 1-2 games between now and the end of the season. Surely he will play in Barca? Even without cracked ribs if would be difficult for him to get through the schedule.
  
  And if he does play, he won't be as mobile, so I can see chelsea conceding in most games.

  The only hit I could see being worthwhile would be to go with Cahill/Spurs defender over Terry and then grab Mata/VdV for Sess. But with the rotation doubt with Cahill I can understand going with Terry.

Protecting want is no a 44 pt lead in ML. 2nd place just took a hit- I'm fairly sure he's doubled up on Villa.. Is worth taking a hit to bring in Collins or should I just play Turner?

What to do what to do..

Dempsey, Aguero, Gylfi or Given! as captain...
And to play Vermaelen, Simpson or Kelly..

I guess it has to be Dempsey or Aguero and I currently have Kelly playing.

Ryan, still going City strikerless for the weekend? Nervous yet? I'm not nervous about them failing at all. Even if they do, most people have taken the plunge, so if they fail, we all fail together, so no biggie. If they do go ballistic on the other hand.................

  I'm not Ryan but I'm going City strikerless. I've bought a few extra pairs of underpants to wear on the weekend. If I can get through this weekend unhurt it will be my biggest achievement.

    I didn't have the balls to do that. I've been saying all the way through, that I should always stick to the plan. And this week I haven't. But, as I said, i think this is a situation in which I don't think we can lose.

      I've had many plans and everytime I move away from the plan I get hurt, so I told myself from now on I will always stick to the plan unless there are injuries. And now the most tempting kneejerk of the season is begging me to break my plans. I'm staying strong though (for now).

        Part of my actually wants the ones who stay strong to win out on this one. Would help for next season (NEVER KNEE-JERK, NO MATTER HOW TEMPTING). As long as my rival gets a city striker as well. Otherwise I would be gutted!!

        Especially at the start of the season. It's definitely been a form over fixtures season overall. The people leading my mini league at the begining were the kind of people that just brought in whatever player performed well the previous week.
        
        I'm not a big an of that.

  If I did go for a City striker I would be just as nervous about RVP/Rooney and the extra fixture a potential DGW player would have had.

Mignolet Friedel
Kompany Caulker Evans Boswinga Enrique
Valencia McClean Siggy Dempsey Walcott
Rooney RVP Cisse

This person had 0 in the bank, now has 1.2 in the bank after 2 transfers. Any educated guesses on what you think those transfers were?

I've got an idea, but I won't say just yet. Wondering what someone else thinks.

    They'd have about 5 million odd left with those transfers.
    
    I think you're right about the 1st part. Either him or Tevez anyway. The 2nd part is puzzling.
