Budget goalkeeper Johnstone good for FPL save points as Baggies come under siege

West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Sheffield United

  • Goals: Conor Gallagher (£5.5m)
  • Assists: None
  • Bonus: Sam Johnstone (£4.5m) x3, Gallagher x2, Semi Ajayi (£4.8m) x1

A first-half goal from Conor Gallagher (£5.5m) secured a crucial victory for West Bromwich Albion over fellow strugglers Sheffield United.

So perilous are the positions of both teams that the game had ‘vastly important’ stamped all over it.

But from a Fantasy perspective, its significance was considerably more niche.

Unpopularity Contest

No player, from either side, went into the match with double-digit ownership levels in Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

The most popular asset on display was Rhian Brewster (£4.5m and 6.2%), who was given a second straight bit-part role by United boss Chris Wilder and remains painfully short of confidence, minutes and chances.

The match was far from boring – the 39 shots both sides managed between them was the most in a Premier League game this season. It just lacked anyone with the (relative) quality required to convert the eight big chances created on the day.

Future Imperfect

So are there any players from either side currently worth investing in?

Short answer: no. 

Longer answer: nope.

Neither team’s immediate schedule is overly promising. 

The Baggies do have Crystal Palace at home and then a trip to Newcastle up next, but things turn sour (mci AVL liv LEE ARS) after that.

The Blades, meanwhile, face Leicester, Southampton and Manchester United next, although their Christmas fixtures (bha EVE bur cry) are a bit more accommodating.

West Brom have tightened up at the back since securing their first clean sheet of the campaign in Gameweek 5, conceding just five goals in as many matches.

Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone (£4.5m) has impressed in that time and he brought in 11 points against Sheffield thanks to six saves and the maximum bonus award.

He’s now joint-top, with Newcastle’s Karl Darlow (£5.0m), for saves (44) and only six ‘keepers have more FPL points than him.

At least investing in Johnstone won’t be boring, but the key Fantasy factor regarding both West Brom and Sheffield United at present involves who in your team might get the chance to face one or other of them in the next few weeks.

Because whether they’re at the back or in attack, there are points to be had.

Reaction Round-Up

Wilder was his usual blunt and honest self post-match:

We’ve got nobody to blame but ourselves. If you don’t take your chances and don’t show that quality in and around the box or the penalty area, you’re not going to win games of football.

West Brom coach Slaven Bilic was, obviously, rather more upbeat:

It’s a great boost for our confidence and for the games that are coming.

But it’s going to take a lot more, from both teams, to persuade Fantasy managers to invest in any of their assets any time soon.

In fact, the main interest at present revolves around why so many are still grimly holding on to Brewster.

Yes, he’s cheap, but he’s managed just two shots on target and eight points from six joyless appearances thus far.


West Bromwich Albion XI (5-3-2): Johnstone; Townsend (Phillips 75), Bartley, Ivanovic, Ajayi, Furlong; Gallagher, Sawyers, M Pereira; C Robinson (Robson-Kanu 65), Grant (Krovinovic 75).

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; K Bryan (Lundstram 63), Egan, Basham; Lowe, Fleck, Norwood (Brewster 54), Berge, Baldock; McBurnie, Burke (Mousset 74).

    Best budget defender?

    Up to 4.2!

    Bryan?

      Won’t play often (ever hopefully!)

      Nkounkou might turn out decent option I think

  2. Villa Velour

    Best £4.3m mid? Dale Stephens?

      Then yep

  3. Sheffield Wednesday

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Monitoring Kilman benching situation as it may leave only three starting defenders or less available week-to-week.

    Martinez (Forster)
    Chilwell Cresswell Robertson (Kilman Mitchell)
    Salah Bruno KdB Grealish (Podence)
    Wilson Watkins Bamford
    0.4itb 0FT

    Which is a better strategy going forward if no other fires to put out using FTs wherever available:

    a) Podence to Neto: 3-5-2 & 3-4-3 no nailed defender sub.
    b) Podence > 4.5; Mitchell > James: 4-4-2 & 3-4-3
    c) Mitchell > Dallas

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure I’d get rid of Podence right now. Could be interesting with Jimi out for the time being (I guess - not itk).

      Podence, Neto & Traoré looked an exciting combination as a front 3.

      Just do C)

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. I've watched a lot of Wolves and Neto just looks more attacking, taking up favourable penalty box positions, for virtually the same price as Podence. But it can wait if the defence needs better cover.

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’m in the same boat, but going to roll my transfer this week if nothing else comes up. Kilman would be a 2 pointer next week anyway, so by the time I need a 4th playing defender again, he could easily be first choice again (not saying he will be, but it’s not that much of a long shot)

  4. KDB4PREZ
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any idea how long Trent is out for?

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Could be back as soon as next weekend according to the Liverpool Echo.

      1. KDB4PREZ

    2. Lovren an elevator
      • 8 Years

      Apparently 9th Dec. So that could mean GW12 away to Fulham

  5. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    35 from 8 with Emi, Grealish and Vardy(c) left.

    It’s going to end with a red arrow tomorrow right?

    1. LSK
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A brace from Vardy and you’re laughing

    2. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      One Vardy goal gives you a definite green.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        A couple would be even better.

    3. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nope, green (with envy for your captain Vardy this week)

    4. seewhyaxe

    Hi all, 1.2 ITB and 2 FT
    McCarthy
    Chilwell Cancelo Lamptey
    Mane Bruno Ziyech Grealish
    Vardy DCL Watkins
    (Forster Targett Bissouma Lewis)

    Thinking of just doing Mane > KDB and pray that Cancelo starts v Fulham.
    Thoughts?

  7. MikeS

    Reminiscing about some great precious Liverpool assets. Who was your favourite, considering their prices at the time?

    1. Suarez
    2. Salah
    3. Coutinho
    4. Torres

    Mine was probably suarez

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

      Daniel Sturridge and Suarez combo

      1. FPL_Crisis

        How good was SAS

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Back in the day Riise was gold

    3. FPLMACKEM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Suarez. The night i captained him when he scores four past Norwich was legendary.

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Haha I had him (c) that say too. Was a beautiful hatrick too. Then he started biting people.. absolute nutter

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

          Yeah I think he scored every type of goal that game. He really did enjoy playing Norwich.

  8. thepuntmaster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which couple going forward?

    A) Zaha + Wilson/Antonio/Bamford
    B) Ziyech + Adams/Welbeck

    Thanks

  9. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best defender up to 5.3 to replace Lamptey?

    Martinez
    Dallas Zouma Vestergaard
    Salah Bruno KDB Grealish
    Vardy Bamford Wilson

    Forster LAMPTEY* Bissouma Mitchell

    1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years

      James

    2. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure about a double Chelsea.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why replace Lamptey? He’s back next GW and will still be bombing down that right hand side... for his price I’m definiteky holding

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I suppose I could upgrade Mitchell

      2. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Lamprey too injury prone and crap defence that leaks goals. Only good going forward

  10. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Not sure if it’s a waste of breath to even ask this on here, as I doubt many would admit to it anyway...

    But, does anyone on here have more than one team?

    I did try it once maybe 8 years ago - my erm, ‘wife’s’ team. Found it to be a bit of a drag to manage after a few weeks and then ended up sacking it off. Never bothered again after that.

    I get the feeling from the number of players these days, and the amount of ‘new’ teams added every week, that some people are rampant at setting up multiple teams...

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      There are a few around here as has been called out in the past but I have seen people find and post screenshots of the same user having 20+ teams (not FFS user), they reported it to FPL and yet nothing gets done about it. I know they stripped the winner last year or the year before so guess they only worry about it if and when. Would suit them to have as many users as possible I assume so they'd be happy to let them sit there.

    2. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I once made and managed a team, for some random girl at work who hates football. I thought it would be funny to make her win the work league.. actually beat my own team playing for her. Never told anyone i managed it or her

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nah can't be bothered with double the hassle

    4. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Unless someone starts GW1, and has played a previous season, then by default I assume it's a multiple account. Sometimes I'm wrong.

  11. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is Kilman done for now?

    1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Could be ,He's gone to playing 4 at the back, but late in the game he went to a back 5 bringing Kilman on. If that becomes common then i think he has to go

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If they go with a regular 4 at the back, possibly

      Who knows if they will stick with 4 at the back. They did look good today, even with Jimi absence

      Kilman just came on for a defensive tactical change today at lb

  12. Mile Plankton
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I can't fit Salah, KDB, Bruno and Kane without completely dismantling the rest of the team.
    Maybe I should just sell Kane. At least for a short term.

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Most people have come to that conclusion

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Salah out for mee

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, Kane the one to make way for mine.

    4. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Tough choices over these next few weeks .. just go with you gut feeling

    5. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’m doing Kane > Bamford next week to fund Grealish or Ziyech > Salah (c)

      Will mean I have Bruno, Salah & KDB.

      I can’t find a week where I’m not happy to captain one of those to be honest

  13. Manani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    got this backline:

    Mitchell Cancelo James Chiwell Lamperty

    worth doing Mitchell>KWP?
    Cancelo seems like is rotation prone now, and James can also possibly be benched. Feels like a 5th playing defender is needed

  14. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you do Salah & Grealish to Fernandes and Jota?
    Leaves 2.3 ITB to be able to upgrade Bamford to Ings.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd find another way to get Bruno in.

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Ziyech is the only other way...
        I don't want to trade either of KDB or Son.

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I'd definitely be losing Ziyech before Salah.

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I sold Son (this GW)

      Obviously Son will keep on scoring cos he’s quality. But Salah gotta be brought in as captain and Son still has tough fixtures coming

    3. Balance

  15. dunas_dog

    Which of following players to lose for KDB. Would mean -4 whoever it is

    D Grealish
    E Ziyech

    3 years, 3 months ago

    As a gunner, I really don’t know what’s wrong with the team.

    Auba through the middle they said, and yet there’s really nothing that shows it’s working.

    What on earth is wrong

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Too much change too soon in my opinion.

      Arteta went for revolution over evolution and brought a lot of youngsters into the team as well as trying to change the way they play drastically.

      Medium to long term I do think he will do well. But will he keep his job long enough to turn it around?

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Apart from maybe Saka and Martinelli, the youngsters are not really showing up aren’t they

    2. PapaWengzz
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Player for player we are weaker than wolves.

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        And many other teams. Too many mediocre players like Luiz, Leno, Willian, Pepe, Xhaka Lacazette (lets face it his allround game isnt nearly as good as someone like Ings/Jimi/DCL even), Artetas system can only work with the right players.

        These are all players that Arsenal fans will tell you are world class

        1. seewhyaxe
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I honestly thought Pepe was playing decently the first few games

          1. PapaWengzz
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Not consistent enough and its been a season and a half

        2. MikeS
          • 9 Years

          I'm an arsenal fan and happy to say they're all crap

          1. PapaWengzz
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Football knowledge at FFS is a bit higher than social media etc

    3. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Aubu awful, thought he'd be essential this season

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        There’s no creativity at all...

      2. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Essential to Arsenal’s game, yes probably. But after he signed his extension, we know how well it’s been going

        Not for FPL.

    4. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Dont have anyone gd enuff to make plays.
      No wingers that scream u got to double up on me.
      Transition from defence to attack is too slow

    5. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Have to ask Arteta why always benching Laca.

      For his players available, front 3 should be Laca Auba Willian.

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He’s not good enough though. I think the opinion may be split but I agree that he should be benched.

      Surely someone better to get in, kdb or Jota? Son has tough fixtures (after arsenal where he we score)

      By the way, Sterling doesn’t deserve your love.

      It would be easy to afford all four, but the days of Aguero being essential are long gone I'm afraid.

        Too old now you think? Do we think cavani will start now for its, lethal with his head. Even if he comes off the bench he could be worth owning.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          He's lost pace and sharpness. He's not too old based on his age alone, he's just injury prone and will never get back to his old best. Obviously if he stays fit he will do a job, but he will get rotated a lot. I'd rather spend the money in midfield as there some great cheaper options.

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            *Cheaper options up front

          2. MikeS
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Yer true, not the kun of a few years back

        2. Camino Aleatorio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Cavani is only 8M, if Aguero drops by 2 or 3M then you can compare

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Def looking at the 3 you mentioned

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Have them plus Son.

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I think that power midfield will be the one for the season;

        Jota-salah-son-bruno-kdb

        1. MikeS
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Then just take your pick from cheap forwards: Wilson, bamford etc.. maybe ings,dcl, cavani if cash permits

          1. waldo666
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, cheap up top is what has afforded me that midfield combo, hoping the budget forwards continue to deliver.

        2. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          That’s the power mid I want. Working towards it.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      big IF
      He could score a brace and just as easily be rested the next game + Pep will proritise the champions league

  22. Ragabolly
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Risers: None

    Fallers: Willian (7.6) McBurnie (5.6) Fraser (5.6) Neves (5.2) Lindelöf (4.8) Alzate (4.4)

    1. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That's annoying, just did Rodriguez out for Bruno in hoping to catch the rise

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, same with Hamez to KDB.

        If something happens to KDB or one of my other players in Europe I'm blaming fplstatistics....

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Both Bruno and James will rise and drop before Tuesday for sure. If you did ir for price changes, no way were you gonna be able to hold it till the UCL games are played. So, stop blaming a free site trying to give you some sort of help.

        Risky business to trade in the week. Plus the insane UCL schedule.

        I get it about JR.

        To be fair, he could have been a 13 point player this week, except for VAR

        1. MikeS
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Probably will be this week now unsold, Vs Burnley

          1. MikeS
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            *I sold

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          All of the VAR calls were correct...

          1. Camino Aleatorio
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            You are correct, but he was Influential in the game is my point. He was a factor, it was close.

            Like Salah, he could have had 12 points.

            Razor thin margin.

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

      Reckon Sterling will drop this week? 0.1 off getting him in for free for Jrod.

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Even after jrod goes down tomorrow? Wait to see if he plays mid week

        1. nod_dinho
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I got him at 7.7 so don't think I'll lose value on him even if he drops (7.9 > 7.8) - correct me if I'm wrong...

          Have KDB but trying to double up on city vs Fulham.

            You'd lose 0.1

          2. MikeS
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            You will lose 0.1

            1. nod_dinho
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Cheers both! Reckon it's worth a -4 (jrod to sterling) or keep jamez for Burnley and then swap him out for jota vs Fulham instead? Pep rotation is infuriating.

                If you have no City and Salah, it might be worth the hit!

  23. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    McCarthy.
    Cancelo, Chilwell, Justin.
    Bruno, Grealish, Jota, Son.
    DCL, Kane, Jimenez.
    Button, Ayling, Mitchell, Bissouma.
    1ft, 2.6m ITB. WC in hand still.

    Thinking-
    Jimenez -> Wilson/Antonio/Bamford + Son/Grealish -> KDB (c) (-4)?

    1. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Jimi to Wilson definitely

      Then grealish to kdb

      Son will score Vs arsenal and is a season keeper at his price imo

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Good moves, think Bamford from those

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not with bamford facing rock solid Chelsea defence

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Sure but longer term Leeds fixtures great, if for one week then agree with you

          1. MikeS
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Newcastle next 4 are easier than Leeds next 4..

            1. Joggers Nipple
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              i dont think they are, hey no correct answer I feel

            2. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I don’t reckon they are, plus it is Newcastle, Leeds are better also

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I went Son/Jimi to Kdb/Bamford this past week.
      Annoying re Wilson but don’t like that he doesn’t get many chances. Still he’s clinical and doing well
      The 0.4 diff also needed to get Salah back

  24. Joggers Nipple
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Morning. Worryingly I seem ok with my current team (yes Cancelo a problem but think will ride that out with Dallas as back up)

    Martinez
    Chilwell Cancelo James
    Grealish Salah KDB Sochek Son
    Werner DCL

    Forster Dallas Brewster Bantwaite 1FT 0.5 ITB

    Looking at longer term thinking-
    Grealish to Bruno and
    Werner to 6.7 ish forward (Bamford?)

    Any input on this or where to go next appreciated

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      *Other options are
      - spend 0.5 on Branthwaite
      - Cancelo to Dias (urgh)
      - Souchek right down and Werner to Vardy/ Aguero

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You want a crazy one ? Soucek to Bruno cancelo to Lewis Werner to the best the remaining cash can get you and play 352

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        cheers, will look at what i can get......

      No City outside Walker might hurt.

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years

        Ziyech to Mahrez?

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years

        Could do Foden JamesR >> Stephens KDB (exact money)

        Thoughts??

  28. MagicMessi
    • 11 Years

    Reckon Williams will start ? Robertson has him in his fantasy team though ...

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure about that
      Phillips isn’t in champions league squad so Williams will play midweek, doubt he can play again at the weekend

      1. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Milner and TAA out so who can play right back ?

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          It’s a good question.
          Would be risky moving to a back 3. Depending on who is fit in midfield could plug Gini there for a week
          Not many options

          1. MagicMessi
            • 11 Years

            Yup will have to wait and see thanks 4 reply

        Thanks, TM. As a non-Spurs owner the sooner they come back the better!

  30. Sanchit
    • 8 Years

    On WC.
    I started my draft by getting Bruno Kdb Salah and Chilwell and then building around them.

    Who should be the next priority?
    Vardy, Kane, Son, Robbo?
