India’s reigning FPL champion answers key Gameweek 9 questions

Given how chaotic the last few days have been for Fantasy Premier League managers, I would like to start by focussing on something more positive and wishing everyone a Happy Diwali!

Even before the frantic December schedule, many of us now face a sea of red, orange and yellow flags for Gameweek 9. At such a time, you could be forgiven for worrying about what to do next.

As my Burning Questions from the last international break was well received, I figured now would be a good opportunity to bring it back again. 

QUESTION ONE

Who is the best defender under £5.5m? And is it a mistake to forsake a premium forward right now?

(from @Northernqwerty)

There are a lot of defenders emerging in the price bracket you have mentioned. Before I get to that, I just want to mention that, in my opinion, Ben Chilwell (£6.0m) is the best defender in the game at the present, even in light of his current yellow flag. 

Chelsea have drastically improved in defence, with the additions of Thiago Silva (£5.5m) and Edouard Mendy (£5.1m) in centre-back and goalkeeper. 

Chelsea have conceded the fewest big chances of any Premier League team in the last six Gameweeks and, on top of that, Chilwell is always very far forward, has great goal threat and assist potential too. He also cuts in a lot as well and is present in the box quite frequently when either Hakim Ziyech (£8.2m) or Reece James (£5.0m) are delivering crosses from the right hand side.

Now coming to your question, there are three standout candidates priced at £5.5m or under, namely João Cancelo (£5.4m), Aaron Cresswell (£5.1m) and Hector Bellerín (£5.1m). 

Cancelo stars for City as Sheff Utd's weak right-side bodes well for Chelsea

Out of the three, the Manchester City man is comfortably my favourite option. In the last four Gameweeks, no defender has created more chances than him while his team are second only to Manchester United for big chances conceded in the same period. 

Statistics aside, Cancelo is a key outlet for the Manchester City’s attack on the left-hand side and he has now started the last four Premier League matches in a row with some minute-management in the Champions League. 

The most important thing for me was his all-action man-of-the-match performance against Liverpool where I thought he did a really good job defensive and offensively, while Pep Guardiola’s comments were also encouraging.


“[Cancelo] played exceptional, with and without the ball with his quality. Up front he has a special talent, defensively sometimes he needs to be consistent but when he is consistent and focused he is a fantastic football player and guy.” – Pep Guardiola

The only concern is how nailed-on Cancelo moving forward now that Benjamin Mendy (£5.9m) is back in training. Personally, I think he has made that left back slot his own. Yes, Guardiola might bench him for the odd game or two during the December crunch period but getting an extremely attacking defender from currently (in my opinion) the best defence in the league only at £5.4m is too tempting to turn down, especially given Manchester City’s fixtures. 

What also helps is that they the Citizens have almost secured their Champions League knockout place already easing the need to bring key first team options into midweek European action any time soon.

Cresswell and Bellerín both make a very good case for their inclusion in their price bracket but Cancelo’s upside is far greater in my opinion. In case you want to read about Cresswell, I wroten an in-depth analysis of West Ham’s best Fantasy assets a couple of weeks ago. 

With regards to your second question and whether it’s a mistake to forsake a premium forward, my answer is definitely not. First off, this game is very subjective and there are definitely no wrong or right answers and I always say there are many ways to play it. 

So whether you pick a premium forward or not depends on how you are spreading your funds elsewhere, as there is always value in every position. 

Harry Kane (£11.0m) has been the stand-out premium forward this season although he goes on a difficult run of fixtures this week onwards. Thankfully, we have cheap alternatives in the form of Patrick Bamford (£6.1m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.8m), Ollie Watkins (£6.1m), Che Adams (£5.9m) and Michail Antonio (£6.2m) offering more than enough points potential to allow greater spending in midfield. 

Given how many of these value options are in-form and have appealing fixtures of their own right now, I certainly wouldn’t consider it the gravest mistake to go without a premium forward.

QUESTION TWO

How De Bruyne and Sterling compare as FPL assets for 2020/21?

Is owning both Sterling and De Bruyne during this great run of fixtures bit of an overkill? 

from @Manav04543906

Thanks for the question Manav. I wish you and your family a very Happy Diwali and a prosperous New Year.

In my opinion, a double-up during a great run of fixtures is one of the best ways to play FPL. I never think it is wrong to double or even triple-up in attack from premium teams who score a lot of goals. 

I have doubled-up on premium Liverpool and Manchester City attackers many times and it has often paid off handsomely. Those that owned both Kane and Son Heung-min (£9.6m) this season have benefited massively as well. 

So it all comes down to whether you think Manchester City will come back to form again and start scoring a lot of goals in the easier fixtures. 

Let me give you some data to assist your decision. In the last two Gameweeks, City attack has started to show some form as they appear in the top five in the league for big chances. In addition, they have played most of this season without Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) and a recognised striker with Gabriel Jesus (£9.3m) out injured for the most part.

Both are now available and I personally expect them to improve in attack quite drastically. Also, just some data from last year which also helps here. This is an article I wrote assessing data last year and below is the relevant information from the same.

What this basically tells you is that, against the relatively poorer defences (The Bramble Teams), De Bruyne and Sterling averaged 1.28 and 1.13 Goals + Assists per 90 minutes. These numbers are drastically better (especially for Sterling) in comparison to their performance against better defences. 

Most of the teams Manchester City face after Gameweek 9 certainly count as ‘Bramble teams’, which is why I have no qualms about that double-up. Generally speaking, I’ve always been a fixtures guy and with Manchester City, I’d be even keener. 

QUESTION THREE

For people selling Kane, do you recommend moving to Jamie Vardy, or downgrading to the £6.0m range and investing in midfield?

from @rpick86

Great question this Rob. I’m likely doing the same for what it’s worth, as I love playing the fixtures. That said, injuries could change that. And, as you know, there are a lot of them right now.

First off, let me say that there is no wrong or right answer to your question. What I will do is arm you with some relevant information to help assist your decision. In the last four Gameweeks, Leicester are in the bottom five in the league for shots in the box and total goal attempts. 

Teams like Leeds United, Aston Villa, Southampton and West Ham United, who all have cheap striker options, are all doing better. 

That said, Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) has three goals and two assists in his last three games. I personally feel that so far, Vardy has been heavily dependent on penalties. The non penalty xG stats for selection forwards so far this season is as follows:

  • Bamford – 5.51
  • Calvery Lewin – 5.28
  • Wilson – 3.76
  • Watkins – 3.55
  • Antonio – 3.07
  • Adams – 3.06
  • Vardy – 2.57

What this tells me is, so far, Vardy has been dependant on penalties and I don’t personally see that as sustainable (unless you are Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m)). 

Given these stats above, it is fair to say that we can see the cheaper strikers (some of who have really good fixtures upcoming) should be able to match Vardy. 

That said, Leicester’s talismanic striker is the definition of a flat-track bully, is very streaky and is as reliable as they come against the “Bramble” teams I mentioned earlier. 

We know that Vardy is a stats-buster and his next four fixtures are against Liverpool (who have four first-choice defenders flagged), Fulham, Sheffield United and Brighton. These games are against not so formidable defences so I fully expect him to get a few returns in these games. 

Last season, he averaged 0.28 Goals+Assists/90 against top tier defences, 0.68 Goals+Assists/90 against middling defences and 1.24 Goals+Assists/90 against bottom tier defences. So, historically speaking, the upcoming fixtures are against bread-and-butter Vardy teams.

I’ve tried to present a balanced argument for and against Vardy. If you’re looking for my opinion, I think that Goals + Assists in the past do not always indicate Goals + Assists in the future. It is underlying statistics that play a greater role in predicting these. 

I am personally leaning towards going cheaper strikers who have better underlying data and similarly good fixtures and pump that money into attacking midfielders from Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea. 

That’s it from me for now. In case you want more, Zophar and I will be recording and publishing this week’s episode of The FPL Wire on Tuesday late-afternoon UK-time and you can find the same on YouTube and all popular Podcast platforms. We have the amazing Tom Freeman on again whose appearance last time around was hugely appreciated. Until next time!

    Please rate my WC team, what would you change?

    Martinez/Forster
    Chillwell/Coufal/Kilman/Justin/Cancelo
    KDB/Bruno/Ziyech/Grealish/Riedewald
    Werner/ Watkins/ DCL

    1. Vazza

      Looks decent

  6. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do you think its worth sacrificing Kane for Mane/Sterling for a hit next gw for the next 5-6 fixtures?
    It's just amazing that Kane participated in 15 of 19 Spurs goals... And I will want him back for the Fulham game

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If he's your only Spurs player, no!

    2. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You realise the Fulham game is 8 GWs away for Spurs? It also comes at a really awkward time (28th Dec) when rotation will be rife

      1. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Boxing day Kane called awkward time???

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

    Benching mo and doing Saiss and Brewster to Targett/coufal to Watkins/Antonio for a hit?

    Sound like a plan?

    I am one more injury away from hitting WC probs

    1. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Brewster will play so why not Salah to Bruno/KdB and Saiss to Cancelo/Chilwell?

      Assuming Salah is going to feel just fine after a bout with Covid is a bit naive.

  8. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone know how double/blank GWs work in Fanteam? Is it the same as FPL?

  9. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone hoping Salah can actually play vs Leicester?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Of course!

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Absolutely mate!!! Need all the players I can get!! Haha

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years

      Nah I’m hoping he’s ill so I can waste a transfer

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

        Haha

  10. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A) Salah -> KDB
    B) Salah -> Ziyech
    C) Bench Salah, Play Bissouma (mun) and Justin (liv)

      Selling Jimenez not quite the priority it once was for me

    With 1 free transfer and .7 in bank this is how my team might lineup! 8 players, 9 if Saïss plays. What is best priority moves here? TAA to Cancelo and hope Cresswell starts and play 4-4-2

    Martinez
    Lamptey Saiss
    Son Grealish Ziyech Podence
    DCL Kane

    Forster TAA* Salah* Chilwell* Mitchell* Brewster*

    1. dunas_dog

      * Cresswell shouted Chilwell! Autocorrect makes this change- annoying!

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Chilwell is in the squad for tomorrow night - so I dont think its a serious injury

  13. TeamSteam
    • 11 Years

    City havent played most of the season without KDB. How can you be the best player of a billion and get that wrong

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He said later he meant "they have played without KDB or without a striker". Its just poorly written.

      1. Homer21
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        FFS, is everyone incapable of reading a sentence as it was written??

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          What hes written is ambiguous and could mean two things, one of which is that "they have played most of the season without KDB"...

    2. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You need to re-read with your specs on!

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years

        It’s confusingly written at best

    3. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years

      It's missing an 'either.. or'

    4. Pacer.

    Kane captain!

    Who's with me?

    I'm a City fan n all!

    Other choice is Grealish!

    1. g40steve

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ziyech or Grealish may be worth a punt

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I own but no chance I captain until they show form again with Rich back

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      It's Son who tends to score v city.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Bale may have ruined him. Walker might haul down Son and Kane bangs in the pen/fk!

        Not liking Son with Bale and might sell shortly

        Ifs and maybes.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Not sure Bale will start v city. I reckon Lucas will come back in.

          Just my opinion.

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I think neither will play. Son and Kane up top. Defensive mindset

            1. how now brown cow
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Maybe. Lucas is quite a defensive pick in as much as he is very hard working. Bergwijn is another option.

              Will be an interesting tactical battle. I think city will win comfortably.

    A. Wildcard the above

    B. Make a few transfers

    C. Do nothing and roll FT

    1. Vazza

    2. Magic Zico

    4. BenDavies

      Not a fan of having no good bench players. Would like 1 more playing defender from the bench. Will be very useful for Christmas.

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

      I would do Salah to Bruno and captain him vs. WBA.

    6. Shineonme

      I'd wc

  16. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Eleney testing positive is bad news. Means Salah more than likely will test positive again on Thursday. Unless he's managed to shake it off it 5 days which seems unlikely.

    Would be uproar anyway if Salah was allowed to play v Leicester after clubs are losing players for 10/14 days for a positive result

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

      Players who test negative can play, it’s the same rules for every team and nothing to cause an uproar about. If Salah was in the UK, he could play when he tested negative just as every other player. Travelling is the more complicated bit in his case though: not sure what the current procedure is for footballers who test positive while overseas.

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Should be the same as everyone else testing positive while overseas.

  17. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How did Liverpool's defence survive till now? They got no replacements for TAA or Robbo, a serious big club should never allow this situation. How in today's football there is a big club that does not have sufficient quality subs on the bench?

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      * for every position

    2. Top Dog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure if you’re looking for a bite. In case you’re serious they did sign a LB. Also have a young RB combined with Gomez/Milner

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Letting lovren go (ignoring what anyone thinks of his quality) without signing a replacement was odd.

      Fairly well covered elsewhere.

      1. Top Dog
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Agree with this. I’m all for supporting youth but probably needed another year of Lovren

      2. Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You can't just FIND a replacement for the world's best defender, though.

        1. El Presidente
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Big teams normally have 3 very similar CBs quality wise... the 4th a step down but still has to be top. Liverpool has the best CB in the world and the other 3 are average. And this was not addressed properly last 2 seasons.

    4. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tsimikas is a good player. Neco still unproven but could be good. No point signing a specialist right back. Not buying a replacement for Lovren was a mistake but tbf no one could predict that both van Dijk and Gomez would be ruled out the whole season.

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Gomez being out is a blessing, he’s a liability

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Massive luck last season with not a single injury. That and VAR sealed it.

      1. Firmino
        • 8 Years

        Alisson? Liverpool won the league by 18 points despite having Adrian on goal for 11 games! Also Fabinho missed couple of months.

          Also they'd won the league after about thirty odd games.

          Fewer games needed = lower probability of classic later season injuries wrecking title hopes

      Well Klopp got all wind up because Carra said it was a mistake not replacing Lovren so let's all pretend the colgate smiling German knows better...

    Great article, cheers Lateriser!

    Having not been able to roll a transfer to this week due to injuries, I've taken a rare -8 for
    Son + Kane (prior punt on a WC) + Bale -> Fernandes + Grealish + Brewster.
    9.6 itb.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years

          Let's hope some of the yellows go away as bound to be more positive covid tests by the weekend.

    2. Rhodes your boat

    3. Sharkytect

      4 yellow, one red and one Dark red.

    4. BenDavies

      Mitchell, Salah, Nyland. Not bad at all.

    5. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years

      No yellow, only red is Nyland....fingers crossed.

  26. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What would you say are the chances of each of these starting in Gw9?

    A) Chilwell
    B) Wilson
    C) Brewstet
    D) Salah
    E) Rashford

    And yes I own all of these 🙁

    1. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd guess Rashford the only one with more than 10% chance.

      That is, of course, based on no medical knowledge and having seen none of the injuries. But speculative based on manner of leaving national teams / how they were reported to have left the pitch etc.

  27. jg7u
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you sell Salah before his price drop if you were on a WC? Or wait for more news?

    1. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      How much did you buy him for? You could sell and then re-buy again on Saturday morning if you bought him for anything other than 12.0. I'd be fairly confident he will drop to 12.2m by then.

      1. jg7u
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        12.0 unfortunately

        1. Sharkytect
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Wiat it out, then. His price will rise again within two weeks, I bet

      2. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Only if confirmed absent from BHA match.. If not he will not be lower than 12.3

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sell his sell price will be 12.1 after the drop.
      If he don’t play who knows how fast he will drop.

  28. Bobby Digital

    A total revamp of my team with WC...

    Mendy (Steele)
    Mings Coufal Zouma (Lewis Justin)
    Bruno KDB Ziyech Grealish (Bissouma)
    Vardy DCL Watkins

    0.1itb, WC active

    You likey?

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cresswell instead of coufal and Chilwell instead of Zouma would be a nicer team

        They may as well have. I don't know why the message hasn't got through to professional football about reducing the potential for transmission.
