Football Index: Can form and fixtures make new-look Everton a good bet?


Sponsored by Football Index


Into week two of my adventures in the land of Football Index (FI) and I’m learning some lessons already.

Just as a reminder, FI is, in essence, a stockmarket where people use real money to bet on footballers, with the value of these shares then going up or down based on market forces.

Players can also win money on these shares through a series of dividends, which are individual pay-outs based on match day performances, positive coverage in the media and consistent excellence across each month of action.

And the shares I’ve bought in the last week or so have certainly been on a few… journeys recently.

My pick for last week, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, is a great case in point. The Arsenal man enjoyed a decent Gameweek 1 at Fulham, scoring his first goal of the season in a 3-0 win.

That was particularly pleasing for his massive Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownership – close to 50% now – as he was the captaincy choice of many, so brought in double points.

Over on FI, his performance score of 127 – based on a wide range of metrics, including goals scored, chances missed etc – was well above his average of the past few months, but not good enough to win extra cash from a match day dividend when the likes of Mohamed Salah are hitting hat-tricks and recording a performance score of 358.

Not that dividends and Aubameyang haven’t been a success for me so far. Ongoing contract talks and his solid performance at Craven Cottage have meant he’s been in the news consistently, thus winning me media dividend pay-outs.

I mentioned last week that the Arsenal man was going to be a longer-term bet, and that’s just as well based on his yo-yoing share price.

I bought into him at £2.22 a share. That peaked at £2.53 the day before the season started, and at the time of writing, he’s trading at £2.27. One to hold, especially with the dividend opportunities that await in the Europa League.
To add to a positive week, Aubameyang has just signed his new three-year contract, so was able to win media dividends through this breaking news.

As for my other two bets, Callum Wilson’s share price is (currently) plenty higher than when I bought in and he’s also won me the most in dividends, while Leeds man Rodrigo’s key moment in the 4-3 madness at Anfield was to give away the penalty that won Liverpool the match.

So well done Rodrigo, you mugged me off there. But he’s another one I’ve bet on for the long term, so I’m maintaining a Zen-like calm. For now.

Overall my portfolio is up, so Gameweek 1 has been a qualified success.

This Week I Am Mostly Buying Into… Everton.

One game does not a season make, but the world and their life partner were left very impressed by the Toffees’ away win at Spurs.

James Rodriguez’s debut was a belter and, at the time of writing, he leads the way for Gameweek 1 chances created (five), although it was Lucas Digne who ended up with the assist for Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s winner.

I’m tempted by all of Everton’s attackers, and new man Abdoulaye Doucoure shouldn’t be ignored either – he created four chances against Tottenham, although he had no attempts on goal, whereas James managed three.

The jury is, therefore, out on exactly which Everton player I’ll bet on, but it will definitely be one of them, especially as they’ll be entertaining West Brom next; a team that allowed a Gameweek-high four big chances at the weekend.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men have a great schedule from now through to the middle of December, with their two trickiest matches – a Merseyside derby and Manchester United – both taking place at Goodison Park.

The blessed union of form and fixtures is a beautiful thing in FPL. It’s time to see if the same applies to FI.

    Best set and forget 4.0 keeper?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on your 4.5

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Why is that? I am not bothered about back up and such tbh

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          There is an argument for Martinez and Steer to guarantee yourself a GK if Martinez gets injured but this is complicated by Heaton eventually returning and Nyland still being about.

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Any one from a team you're unlikely to want 3 players from. Don't think any will play, but you don't want one jamming up a valuable slot from a decent team.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        So Button?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Think WBA is a good shout

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Much of a muchness. None of them will start barring injuries to the first choice keeper they're backing up.

      So, by set snd forget do you mean picking and leaving on your bench every week knowing that they won't play?

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes although

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yes*

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            In that case I'd take the Peacock

  2. thehodge
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Probably not but is there any site where it would display detailed past FPL season history?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I asked this sometimes ago and the answer was no. Wondering it remains the same?

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      As in your own? It is on your GW history page?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        But not per GW history - it's per season, isn't it?

        1. ElliotJHP
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          There was a website that allowed you to download your GW history at the end of the season, will try and remember it's name but if you haven't downloaded now I imagine its gone

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Ok yeah cheers

            1. ElliotJHP
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Think it was A New Planet

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          yeah by season bot by GW - need to screenshot that at end of each campaign

  3. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How likely am I gonna want a third Villa player beyond Martinez and Grealish this season? Deciding whether or not to have Steer as my 4.0 who may be displaced once Heaton is fit

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Watkins plus they will sign more midfielders - looks like a solid team

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bit risky if Martinez doesn't start first game also

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Willing to take the risk on Martinez. The more I think about it there is a possibility Watkins and Grealish become options down the line.

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Watkins maybe?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah this is the one - can't see Villa every being solid enough for the defence double up

    4. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Watkins, Rashica, Traore, McGinn, Konsa all good options. However, I am certain I personally won't need any of them bar Watkins.

    5. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You are really thinking in depth here. You could have anyone as a back-up keeper but they'll never play.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        On WC and won't have an opportunity to rectify the 4.0 but that doesn't really matter as I have played my BB already.

    6. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      There could be a time when a Grealish/Watkins double up is appealing

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        True that - I may even start with Grealish at this rate

    7. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably not, but never say never.

    8. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It is possible. Watkins, Bertrand Traore too.

    9. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Possible

      There’s Watkins of course and McGinn was the better midfield pick early last season before injury.

      But while I quite fancy them to do well the double up in attack seems unlikely.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        True but wanting Watkins is probably a more likely scenario than Martinez getting injured and Steer still being the number 2 at that point.

        Martinez and Peacock-Farrell or Button it is.

        Cheers all

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Willian, Greenwood or Mahrez?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Like this

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood for now. Willian might be the better long term option if United signs a RW but fixtures favour Greenwood in the short term.

      I don't think Mahrez is a good option, he was clearly out of favour end of last season. He didn't start any of the last 5 games (PL and CL) if I remember correctly.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Is Greenwood going to start this week?

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          VDB might start

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Bit too risky at this point then

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      For this week I'd go willian.

      1. gunthourinho
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        willian

  5. Alisson WondHaaland

    Are Mitro owners holding for the next two?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes good games

  7. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this team to carry through to GW3 with 2 FH's?

    McCarthy
    TAA Justin Taylor
    Salah Auba Son ASM Bissouma
    Ings Werner

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good if Werner is fit

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        thanks mate, yes I will assess Werner. Martial is an easy swap if the team news isn't favourable

      2. stxrty
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It was a dead leg and he finished the game fine. He starts v Pool.

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Solid

      RMT hates the Taylor pick though. And Burnley were poor away early on last time - only returns in soft home games. Question which Burnley starts this season

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Its a risk but Taylor did well for me last season. If Vinagre is looking like he will drop then I may be forced in to a transfer

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Oh play him over Vin 😀

          Have him too and hoping we’ll see good Burnley. They have been a bit up and down the last 2 seasons - not so many of their type of fixtures early. Got him because I was worried about Justin longevity 🙁

    3. The Knights Template

      Arise, Sir Jellyfish! G2G

  8. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thiago's arrival will presumably mean Wij will be on his way? Liverpool will be stronger I would have thought with Thiago in the team.

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe but feel he will stay

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I thought it was in spite of Wijnaldum staying?

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Doesn't Koeman want him?

    3. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think Gini will stay. Thiago is Lovren's "replacement" and Fabinho will play centre back If needed.

    4. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Are you Jamie Vardy's son?

  9. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Are Steer owners starting over McCarthy in the hope that Martinez starts on the bench? Guess there's nothing to lose if we have more faith in Villa keeping a cleanie over Southampton

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Martinez signed to be first choice

      1. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I get that but sometimes new signings are eased in after a game especially if he hasn't trained with his defence

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Keepers don't need easing in

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Very much this plus he will have had 5 days training with the defenders

    2. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I am, I think the chance it happening is really minimal but you gotta dare to dream

    3. SKENG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Go for it, worth the "risk"

    4. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Might as well. It's not like he'll be subbed on later if he doesn't start. U do have mccarthy on bench if martinez starts. But I'm 99% sure Martinez starts

    Mmm struggling with my wildcard team. Always 1-1.5m short of budget. Trying to fit square pegs into round holes at the moment.

    I'm not convinced by any of the 4.5m keepers nor the 6m strikers so looking at the more expensive options. To fit with budget means so many key players missing.

  12. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How would you rank these players for GW2?
    From highest to lowest points potential

    A) Saiss (MCI)
    B) Reece James (LIV)
    C) Bissouma (new)

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      ACB for potential.
      CAB for safety.

    2. SKENG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      CBA

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years

      C>A=B but it's based on points predictions of 2,1,1 so not much to it.

    Nathaniel Clyne training with Palace. Not great for people holding out on Ferguson

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Boo!

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Possible squad option perhaps. Ward’s place to lose anyway.

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ferguson in de-Clyne.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        What a wag!

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Another nail in the gw3 wc coffin - not sure what I was thinking picking Ferguson in the first place

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Those 4.0 defenders were problem also last year for many. They are often forced transfers out sooner or later. Better pay 4.5 and increase tv with better fpl options.

  14. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Feel I made the right call trading Adams for DCL and keeping hold of super Mitro. Hopefully he'll put himself about that Leeds defence at the weekend and get going from there. Saints look woeful mind you Spurs conceded 15 shots v Everton so Ings could still come good. Adams though is a very poor mans Ings. Destitute even.

  15. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Brighton playing 5 at the back would surely improve their defence. Ryan should be a shrewd pick right?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I prefer Martinez but Ben White should improve Brighton defensively

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Potter changes formation for every match, they played against Chelsea with 3 at the back last season too but played with a 4 defender formation in a lot of the other games.

  16. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So I'm on my wildcard and down to my last player, iv 6.0 for a midfielder who do you go for?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence for me but I love wolves or stretch to 6.5 for foden if you fancy that sort of thing

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence

      b. Podence
      c. ASM

      Maybe Trossard but Potter’s rotation is always a worry. Same issue with Podence though.

      I'd punt on a Leeds guy, if they play as attacking as they did against Liverpool, could be some high scoring games.

    6. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’d pop Klich in and bank 0.5. You want someone nailed really no? Strong possibility of pens too.

      Podence? But is this a spot you want to use transfers on?

    7. HugoSimpson2

      Not much going on at the 6 range I feel. Would either stretch to a 6.5 or take Jorginho at 5.0 and keep 1.0 ITB

    8. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What formation are you on? I can't help but think Doherty/Digne offer more than a 6.0 mid. Sadly though a 4.5 defender is much better than a 4.5 mid

  17. HugoSimpson2

    Help!! I've both Pulisic and Alli

    Option A) Hold on to Pulisic, Alli > Greenwood/Foden/Grealish
    Option B) Pulisic & Alli > Bruno & ASM (-4)
    Option C) Pulisic & Alli > Rashford & Traore (-4)

    Thank you

        Hmm - I know Pulisic is a doubt but Chelsea have the baggies, palace and southampton in GW 3,4,5

    2. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Honestly, I don't like any of those options.

      See what happens with Spurs tonight at least, before moving Alli. He's already dropped and may still be an option against a poor starting Southampton.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’d hold Puli one.

      If he’s fit GW3 he’s prime. Alli to Greenwood or Rodriguez. 7.0 or thereabouts is a great price point. Zaha or Grealiish (in a bit) and Foden or Barnes (for the brave) make a really nice set of options

  18. FPLShaqiri

    Bench 1 this week:
    a) Doucoure

    Is anybody NOT getting a United assest in this week? Rolling a transfer myself and assessing them v Palace.

      Could work

    2. denial

      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I am in two minds. I might just sod it and get Martial in for -4 (for Ings). They have decent fixtures coming up and a double up looks on the cards.

  20. skooldaze

    Anyone got the link for the FFS Contributors league?

  21. Ha.

    Get in my team, Bale.

    1. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, probably the best shout out of the 5.5 pool.

  22. 03farmboy

    Transfer out Davies for Holding or lampety?

    Good move

  23. HollywoodXI

    WC Team. GTG?

    Meslier Button
    Shaw Saiss Coleman Justin Struijk
    Salah Auba Willian Podence Bissouma
    Werner Martial DCL

    Auba becomes KDB GW3

    Anyone thinks that Mane and Salah will even themselves out on points by the end of the season?
    I have Mané and I think it would be ridiculous to swap him for Salah just because Salah scored a Hat trick last week and Mané had an off day !

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I always go with Salah because i like my captain to play at home, and Salah does better at home. Excluding captaincy it's 51/49 in Salahs favour still with total points last few seasons.

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Salah, in an out of form season, still had more points than mane in his best season so do what u will with that info.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Me, abandoning Salah>Bruno and need to put Alli fire out first

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sorry wrong place to reply

    4. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No.

      Salah should outscore Mane.

      If you picked Mane, you had your reasons, so stay with it.

    5. Mr.K
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It tends to be a coin toss between the two but I like Salah stronger in general. Would I change over to Mane based on a hat trick? No.

      1. aborg
        • 6 Years

        Thanks mate

    6. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mane should have been £11.5m really, same as kdb and sterling. Would have made it more interesting.

      If he drops a bit more I might get him in over salah but not at the same price

  25. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Pulisic situation could be one of those one week away from being fit for ages. What are owners doing? Waiting for presser obviously but Lampard probably saying it's a "maybe".

  26. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How likely is it for Son to avoid a drop this GW? Currently -92.3 on fplstats with 2 more drops to go

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He'll probably drop. Was on -70 something yesterday

    2. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Your best chance of no drop is Son scoring tonight and playing only 45 mins...

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You are assuming that 5m other players know about and will review what happens in todays match.
        I reckon he will drop regardless

      But Martinez, Holding, Willian and Justin are subs waiting to happen. Justin will keep his place for now, but once Ricardo is back. Same story with Martinez once Heaton returns

    McCarthy
    TAA, Justin, James
    Salah, Auba (C), Son, Soucek

    First sub: C.Taylor

    I’m pretty tempted to bench James for Taylor tbh, could be worth keeping him for assist potential though...

  30. Knallie

    What are the expectations of Jorginho's gametime security?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Low

    2. aborg
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He is a good penalty taker and won them the game last week so I’m not sure what more Lampard wants to see from him. I am keeping Jorginho for now until I see that Lampard omits him from starting lineup
