How to use teams’ specific weaknesses to pick the right FPL assets

Despite selling Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) for a hit on Friday, Gameweek 12 turned out to be a pretty good one for me.

After taking my second minus four of the season to accommodate Mohamed Salah (£12.3m), I returned a total of 70 points and as a result, now sit 202,736th overall, with my Wildcard still intact.

So, as focus turns to Gameweek 13, I’m going to have a look at where teams have been conceding most of their chances from this season, in the hope of identifying one or two transfer targets for the Christmas period. 

I’ll then have a closer look at some of the players who stood out, and also discuss plans going forward.

WHERE TEAMS CONCEDE THE MOST CHANCES FROM

Using data from the Premium Members Area, I’ve had a look at where each team is most susceptible to conceding chances. This is something I like to keep track of during the season, in an attempt to find out which fantasy options can exploit those weaknesses.

    I see myself with 2 choices which I've struggled with all week
    A. Kane and Burke to Salah and Brewster
    Or
    B. Resign myself to not owning Salah for the foreseeable future and upgrade bench for Xmas period

      low TV or expensive defensive line?

      1. Johan Queef
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Both! Chilwell and Robbo using up funds (and bang average TV).

    2. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mahrez and Ziyech to Soucek and KdB?

      1. mrelpea
        • 7 Years

        That’s great pair of moves

      2. Johan Queef
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I actually started thinking about this after...I like it.

      3. Johan Queef
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Just checked...not got the funds! Back to the drawing board.

    3. Party time

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      A) Bench 1 of 3: Soucek (PAL H), Zaha (whu A) or Wilson (lee A).
      B) Pick 1of 3: Coufal (PAL H), James (wol) or KWP (ars A). nb have McCarthy

      Justin > James or save FT?

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Save

    7. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone undecided on what to do with Robbo? He's clearly not worth the money but with so much uncertainty, not sure I can justify using a FT to remove a starter with great fixtures after TOT.

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I'm giving him a few more games. I have a feeling the hauls are coming

      Martinez caprile

      Bench 1 -

      A. Taylor (avl)
      B. Lamptey (ful)
      C. KWP (ars)

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Close one between A and B. Probably bench A as you might get attacking points from Lamptey... might.

    10. Bobby's Teeth

      Bench 1:

      DCL (Lei A)
      Soucek (Palace H)

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

        Soucek

    11. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Normally i nake my cap call at the trt of the wel and stick with it but for 1st time this season it feels like a genuine 50 50 call

      Probably 51-49 in favour of bruno becuase of the extra 2 days rest

      1. Bobby's Teeth
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Same here. For me, it's more of a 60-40 call in favour of Bruno. However, my worry is exactly what you have highlighted as a point in his favour. The extra days' rest actually leaves less resting time before the Leeds match on Sunday. I am concerned if that might lead to a benching against Sheffield.

      Day 1 certainly looks like making or breaking my GW
      Triple Che defence !!!! (It’s a temporary putting out fires transitional thing)
      KDB (C) and Walker

    13. AbsolutelyNoIdea
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Struggling with this one.

      Which option/formation:

      A) 3-4-3
      James, Cresswell, Konsa (Bench Dallas vs Newcastle & Wilson)
      DeBruyne,Salah,Grealish,Fernandez
      Bamford, DCL, Wilson

      or

      B) 4-4-2
      James, Cresswell,Konsa, Dallas
      DeBruyne,Salah,Grealish,Fernandez
      Bamford, DCL (Bench Wilson vs Leeds)

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

        I have A, but with Chilwel

    14. Jakew99029
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Plan to get Salah....
      Should I hold Jota for 1gw so I have 2FT for Jota and Werner to Salah and one another next week. Two questions:

      1. Is this a stupid plan as Jota value will drop?
      2. Who should the attacker be? I will have 8.7m left itb.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Depends on who your other attackers currently are

        1. Jakew99029
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Mid sterling bruno, saka, bissouma, jota
          Att Wilson and bamford.

    15. ceerus
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A) Konsa
      B) Targett

    16. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I see that Heaton is now getting an outing with the U23 team. Does he take Over from Martinez when he’s match fit?

    17. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Off topic but really feel for anyone who owns Raphinha, he was taking shot after shot in the first half but somehow came away with nothing despite Leeds scoring five

    18. minthow
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A) Vardy & Ward-Prowse —> Ings & Son
      B) Vardy —> Kane
      C) Keep Vardy, upgrade elsewhere
      Currently have Bruno, Salah, Graelish, Soucek, Bamford, and DCL
