Allsvenskan Fantasy Ones To Watch GW15

The transfer market has been busy and many managers have activated their WC. I’ve selected four players who are likely to deliver points in GW15. As is usually the case, I’ve gone for a couple of under-the-radar picks.

Jean Carlos (4.7)

Varbergs BoIS FC may have kept only 3 clean sheets this season, but the Brazilian left back is very different from his teammates from a fantasy football perspective. He’s produced 4 offensive bonus points in the last three games and he’s shown he’s capable of delivering even against the big sides, having assisted goals against the likes of Malmö and Hammarby. He’s created 6 chances in his last three games and offers value through and through. Next up is Örebro, a side that has found a new life after resigning Besara (8.7)but Jean Carlos has kept two back-to-back clean sheets at home and he can reward managers with both attacking and defensive returns. He’s owned by merely 7.7% of managers.

Elliot Käck (6.1)

Djurgårdens have sold Witry and they didn’t sign a replacement, but they have enough quality to maintain their defensive resilience. Käck had a very slow start to the season from a fantasy football point of view, but the underlying numbers show his potential for GW15. He’s created 9 chances in his last 4 games, having put in 21 crosses during the same period. He faces a Mjallby side in the next two games, a side that has scored only 2 goals in their last 4 home games. They haven’t found a suitable replacement for Ogbu yet, and, with Witry gone, he may have more offensive responsibilities given his crossing ability. Despite being one of the 5 highest scoring defenders this season, he’s owned by only 11.3% of managers.

Jonathan Ring (7.5)

The former Djurgårdens midfielder seems to have rediscovered his magic this season, as he’s about to equal his best season in terms of assists. Ring is relishing his role as an important player for Rydström’s side. He’s delivered 4 attacking returns in his last 7 matches. The underlying stats suggest he’s likely to score soon. Coming up is a tricky fixture versus Halmstads, but if Kalmar are to score, Ring is likely to be involved. He’s registered 10 shots in his last 5 games and more points are on the horizon as 2 of his 5 next games are against Östersunds and Degerfors, sides that are struggling defensively.

Daleho Irandust (8.9)

The highly-rated Häcken midfielder has only one year left in his contract at BK Häcken and chances are he will leave Allsvenskan at the end of the season, so he will want to leave his mark and help Häcken get a decent position. He’s created 4 chances in 3 games and he started the last game vs Östersunds having scored one goal assisted by Jeremjeff (9.4). Häcken is a very different offensive unit with Irandust in the side, as he’s the main source of creativity. He’s played only 183 minutes this season and yet he’s scored 2 goals and delivered one assist. He’s struggled with injuries in the past but as long as he’s fit, he should be taken into consideration. He faces a Degerfors side that has conceded 16 goals in their last 5 games. He sits in just 1.3% of registered squads, so if you’re looking for a punt, he can be the right man. A word of warning: he’s on 2 yellow cards already.

    Nice article, Gerardo. I went with Käch as my Witry replacement, so nice to see that that decision wasn’t completely daft.

      Thanks, mate. Käck is one of my favourite players since I started playing this game. He’s on 0 yellow cards and his bonus potential is quite good. I bought him back on WC!

  2. SUNFLOWER
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Great article Gerardo. I brought Jean Carlos in last gameweek. I think he offers a good combination of attacking and defensive potential at a nice price.

    1. Gerardo7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He’s value for money. On 2 yellows already but he’s worth it. Good luck!

  3. General Nuisance

    Nice picks, Gerardo. Elliot Käck has made his way into my Wild Card team.

    1. Gerardo7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Great asset and the fixtures are ok! No wonder he’s gone up in price twice this round!

  4. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years

    Thanks Gerardo, great article. I have activated my WC and stocked up on midfielders and defenders as this is where the form is right now. I actually found it quite hard to spend all the budget!

    AIK seem to have a nice run of fixtures so I'm going for a Larsson / Stefanelli double up. Also taking a punt on Birmancevic .

    1. Gerardo7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve activated WC too and have gone for the same double up in AIK attack. Too good to ignore. Birmancevic is such an exciting pick! Check line ups before the deadline! Best of luck!

  5. The Train Driver

    No price changes.

  6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    Chelsea & Man City up next for Arsenal 😆

    They could be departing for a 2 week international break with 0 points & no goals - Arteta may not even be there for GW4 at that rate

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ooof it appears I’m in the dark web section of FFS

      Apologies

      *backs away slowly & carefully*

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      And no strikers. Next game Lukaku fills his boots; the game after Kane is up.

      I brought up this likelihood after the game last night. Delicious.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Good spot - Jesus that looks bleak for the gunners

        I might have to get a subscription for AFTV to watch the carnage unfold amongst the fans 😆

    Thanks Gerardo for your continued contributions, always a good read and very appreciated!

    How are you looking ahead of GW15? Witry leaving and Otieno being suspended creates a lot of movement in the back line, while Hammarby, Elfsborg and Malmö could look to rotate again as their European adventures rages on. Who are you captaining?

    1. TAT
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksson captain for me, now that Witry has left Allsvenskan. Brought in Käck as his replacement; I also considered Milosevic, but didn't want a double AIK def for when Otieno is back next GW.

      1. General Nuisance
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Oh, and I remembered to use my first wildcard. Not sure how it will turn out, but Witry’s move to Netherlands really freed up a huge chunk of funds. Really liking my team.

    2. SUNFLOWER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Armband also on Eriksson for me, with 1 transfer to bring Käck in to replace Witry.

    3. General Nuisance
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksson Captain for me

    Nice article, Gerardo.

  9. Exxtreme
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which site do you check to see lineups before deadline? And to see injured players and their potential return time?

    1. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      The Allsvenskan Live app has been known to get the lineups in 5-10 mins advance, not sure if you can download it? Otherwise it's the clubs Twitter pages but that's very often after deadline.

      Injured players, not sure if there's a good site out there keeping tabs unfortunetely. Please let me know if you find it though! 🙂

  10. Littlegomba
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Does anyone know something about De brito?
    Can he play GW17 or not?

    1. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's cleared, trained in full yesterday and should play!

  11. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    (K) Eriksson for me. Seems almost guaranteed 4-5 points as a baseline every week. Jean Carlos first on my bench, I'm sure that will come back to bite me! Used FTs to bring in Adegbenro and get rid of Paulsen who has disappointed of late and I already have Jeahze.

    Best of luck, friends!

    1. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ah no way to squeeze Jean Carlos in? He's in such stellar form and Halmstad hardly score any goals.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks for the advice! 6 mins to decide...

      2. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Bench Besara for JC?

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I have done that. Good luck and thanks!

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years

            That worked out well! 🙂

            1. Make Arrows Green Again
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Yep I came on to say thanks! Might make all the difference in the cup too. Opponent took a -12 but captained Milošević so it's pretty close..

  12. Littlegomba
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Tired of Besara not preforming.
    Besara ——->Birmancevic
    And take -4??

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      European heroics are an issue. I have Birma but I'm not sure about minutes.

    2. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A little harsh maybe given the timeframe but personally I'm benching this week, think he'll come good at home against Varberg after the break.

    Hope you're all geared up for the last GW before the International break. Anyone fancy a chip? Who are you captaining?

    Is it time to welcome back Chili from the cold?

    1. General Nuisance
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers!

      I am wavering between Erikssen and Adegbenro captain.

      Also unsure who to bench between Matthew, Berg and Jeremejeff.

      It is tempting to use a chip, maybe double captains.

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        What did you end up doing?
        (Sorry for the late reply)

        1. General Nuisance
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          No worries.

          I decided against going all out attack, which was a bullet dodget with Stefanelli in my team.

          In the end I went with Erikssen captain, Jeremejeff and Matthews. Berg on the bench. It remains to be seen if it was a good call.

          Slightly annoyed I have Lindner’s 14 points staring at me from the bench, lol.

          1. Make Arrows Green Again
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            I was considering building to all out attack too but I decided to wait until Malmo are out of Europe and are concentrating on the league.

          2. General Nuisance
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            A captain failure and a red arrow, but I think this is mostly due to double AIK defenders hauling and quite a few chips used. First red arrow in a while, but not too bad rank damage.

            On the upside, I think that the All out attack chip can be put to better use soon.

            Getting seriously frustrated by Stefanelli. All fart and no end product.

    2. FC Jammer

      • 5 Years

      Cheers Meltens!

      Played the All Out Attack chip with Stefanelli home to Örebro, Edvardsen home to Mjällby, and (hopefully) Adegbenro home to Östersunds FK. So far blanks

    Hope you’re all feeling well post this international break, now it’s time to get back into it! Who are you looking to captain? Are there any players you think are creeping under the radar for the second half of the season? I’m liking the look of Nyman personally but will wait one more week to pounce.

    1. Mullered in Maenam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hi Petter, thanks you for this, a quick question before I pull the trigger. I can't afford Colak but do have enough for Abubakari.

      Yes or no?

      Cheers buddy, always very much appreciated. J

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        To be quite honest I’m not entirely read up on Abubakari and his role in the team, I’d assume he’s going to get minutes around the European fixtures and the price is nice. I think I’d rather go Nyman or Jeremejeff if it’s close to Colak but not quite there. The stats are good for Abubakari last two, I just would put Birm, Colak, AC quite comfortably ahead of him for Malmö and other options from different teams as well.

        1. Mullered in Maenam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Thank you buddy, I just have to punt now as you keep closing down on me!

          I'll take a risk

          Good luck mate

          j

          1. Meltens
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Haha yeah I’m slowly slowly picking up steam 😉

    2. General Nuisance
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nice picks. Intriguing call to go for Birmancevic captain - I kinda like it. I was wondering why go for Birmancevic ahead of say Seb Larsson or Eriksson?

      I have a benching decision: I want to bench all of Jeremejeff, Stefanelli and Adegbenro but need to play one. Who? (I want to save transfer).

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Eriksson suffers atm from a lack of goals from other players, he’s doing great for bonus and creativity but no one is finishing his chances. He’s always a shout but this one and next I’d prefer to look elsewhere. Seb Larsson is close, high floor but potentially low ceiling as he’s quite honestly not really that strong on returns but he ticks nicely, as does AIK. Mjällby for all their troubles scoring at home has still just conceded five goals in seven home games and AIK rarely burns the house down, I’d assume a 0-1, 0-2 at most kind of score. Birm has been sublime and Malmö definitely have it in them to put three past Norrköping, so I like the (perceived) odds.

        I’d play Jeremejeff first and Stefanelli second, but no one is dreadful even if the fixtures aren’t great I can still see a world where neither blanks even if hauls are unlikely 🙂

        1. General Nuisance
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers, Meltens. I have Birmancevic. If he starts, I think I will be able to convince myself to captain him (I have Larsson too).

          Thanks for the feedback on strikers. Not expecting much, but Jeremejeff at least has pens, and you never know what may happen in the game.

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

      Great picks! A few good captaincy options this week but I think I'm going to go with Seb Larsson. I brought him in just before the international break and I like his consistency.

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yup, he looks a popular pick for the captaincy and with good reason 🙂 Think he should get something, I just like this week for a bit more of a punt to make the most of it

        1. Mullered in Maenam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Oh Petter, I mentioned you in the UCL thread, I made a rather left-field prediction about Malmo but did say that you were the expert so to ignore me. I'm punting in the UCL game for one week on Christiansen v Juventus, He's 6.0m in this game and I just fancy a punt on him. Again, I did say everyone should listen to you on this matter not me. Cheers J

          1. Meltens
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I think at the price I see little reason to not punt on him at home, Malmö are actually a lot better than they’ve been in recent years when qualifying. That said, they’ll go out bar multiple miracles but that doesn’t stop AC from getting a goal or two in the process. He’s definitely a cut above and shouldn’t play in Allsvenskan imo

    4. Kagge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Varberg is performing under the radar, Lidner @4.5 has form. Nwadike @Sirus 4.3 shows the form as well.

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers yeah Varberg is a curious case, their coach is definitely quite talented and able to get more out of the sum of their parts than most would. Jean Carlos is brilliant and Matthews has been good too, I just don’t see the appeal of going with someone other than those or trebling up atm. Sirius are without Mitov Nilsson for a few games now but agree on Nwadike because of his very strong bonus game!

    Scout Picks GW19: https://allsvenskan.se/fantasy/scout-picks-gw19

    Anyone fancy a chip this week? I’m deploying the attack-chip with Nyman - Adegbenro - Jeremejeff.

    1. Mullered in Maenam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep Petter, I played WC, had to, four red arrows in a row and if you get any closer to me in the league it would start to get intimate!

      Jeremejeff as Captain. Looks like you'll overtake me this gameweek.

      Nice Chip played, good luck buddy.

      J

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Ah yes I’ve noticed I’m creeping closer slowly but surely, 9 points in it now 😉

        Hoping the game diverges a bit now, it’s getting kind of stale and template but fixtures could help with that soon.

    2. General Nuisance
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, I activated the all out attacking chip with Adegbenro, Edvardsen and Jeremejeff. For a moment I wished I had ditched Jeremejeff for Nyman, but then Nyman got injured (again).

  16. Littlegomba

    Hi folks!
    Need some strategy tips.
    I’m in a versus league with my friends.
    My next opponent says he’ll go with the ”park the bus-chip”.
    I’ve already used mine,but i do have the forward-and two cap-chip.
    SHALL i use one chip? Which one shall i use,If i’m to use one. Or shall i just accept a loss and save my chip?
    Adjungerad info: I’m in lead with 8p over the second placed friend.

    1. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hello mate!
      Think I need some additional info to be of any help 🙂
      What squad do you have?

      I'd be slightly wary of deploying a chip unless certain of everybody starting, given it's a midweek fixture that could realistically see some teams ring the changes and rotate.

  17. Littlegomba
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Starting.
    Zetterström
    Otieno,Milosevic,Kurtulus,De brito
    Seb,,Levi,Mange E
    Kouakou,Adegbenro,Colak

    Subs:Nilsson-Säf,Colley,Bernhardsson,Matthews(susp)

    1. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would probably not play a chip in your case this GW 🙂
      PTB is so powerful the other chips would probably not match it anyways, just hope whoever you captain (mid or striker) scores a bunch to offset it a bit.

      1. Mullered in Maenam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hi Petter, I'll be rolling my mid-week transfer even though I have three red-flagged players, Erikson captain for me as well. Just 10 points between us now and you still have a WC while I've blown all my chips. It's all going horribly wrong now, started with 12/13 green arrows getting up to 651 OR but have had 5 red arrows in row now. I think some punts in the run in may well be required. Good luck.

        1. Meltens
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Nice I'm going to have to deal with Nyman immediately as he's already a doubt for the next 2 gws as well, even if nothing is set in stone.

          I think I'd be quite content with the season in the end as long as I break into the top 1k and beat you in the process 🙂 Here's hoping! 😉

          1. Littlegomba
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Tnx

    2. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd definitely save the Attack Attack! chip, better fixtures to come for Colak.

    Scout Picks for GW20: https://allsvenskan.se/fantasy/scout-picks-gw20

    Midweek games! It's been a while, and it looks like a potentially tricky one as well other than the (supposed) slam dunk Djurgården-Degerfors fixture. Can Hammarby take advantage of a shaky Göteborg side, where Sana is behind most things going forward? How much more can Malmö afford to drop points as they struggle with balancing the league and their European adventures?

    Who are you looking to captain? Good luck folks!

      I think I'll be going with the crowd with the armband on Eriksson this time. Can't overlook the fixture!

      Heading into the last third of the season and I still have two chips to play (PTB and AA). I'm thinking about playing one of them for GW21, probably PTB.

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Eriksson looks a no-brainer this week, somewhat unfortunately haha! Think there are other parts of our squads this week we can use to gain an edge.

        Still having PTB is huge and I'd really want to make sure the best possible opportunity is when I'd play it (I did in the DGW with no great success). If going with Malmö defenders I'd try to make sure they start and there is a chance lineups are available pre-deadline GW21. Good luck!

        1. SUNFLOWER
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          Cheers. No Malmö defenders at the moment but thinking of taking a chance on Brorsson if it looks like he will start as he seems to be more nailed on and is doing well with bps lately.

          Good luck to you too!

      Been stagnating between 9.9k and 11.6k for the last eight weeks (going Witry and Säfqvist-less early season hurt) but all chips intact. Just brought in Eriksson who looks like the only really attractive premium captaincy option this week so going PTB with:

      Wahlqvist, Papagiannopoulos, Otieno, Käck, Jean Carlos

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights

        Nice, good luck! 🙂 I think there could be even better opportunities down the road but don't let me sway you.

    Cheers for top picks article. Considering playing Two Captains chip on Eiriksson & Birmancevic but with Malmö playing in Champion League I am unsure if Birmancevic will start. Is there any site where I can find early Malmö team news?

    How are you all doing after the IB? 🙂
    Looking to WC soon?
    Captain M Eriksson or one of the Malmö lads?

    1. Littlegomba
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      AC will be my choice this week.

      Do u guys have someone u think can suprise everyone or someone u cant sit without?

      Time to let go off the Varberg-lads?

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Both Bahoui and Besara are rogue shouts for the run in.

        AC cap is top notch 🙂
        Yeah I’d ditch Varberg personally!

    2. General Nuisance
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Getting AC or not is the main question. I am fully loaded with Colak, Birmancevic and Olsson though. Hoping Colak (K) will help cover some of the risk. Eriksson VC.

      1. General Nuisance
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Wildcard next GW looking likely at the moment.

      2. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years

        Colak looks superb though, wouldn’t sweat it too much.

        1. General Nuisance
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers! AC takes a huge chunk of the funds though, which is why I hesitate to bring him in spite of AC’s stats.

    3. Niemi
      • 9 Years

      WC activated. I have some clear thoughts on who I want, but I'd appreciate some input. Who do you think is essential on a WC for next GW2?

      1. Niemi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        GW, not GW2*

      2. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Given your position I think you're the one who should be handing out advice, not me! 😉

        Essential I reckon Wålemark, Colak, M Eriksson, 1/2 Mjällby defs (1 of them could be the GK, that's what I've gone for). Johan Larsson definitely in the conversation as well.

        Then it more comes down to how you want to structure the team but Hammarby and Häcken have great fixtures to end the season so probably 1-2 from them added on (I've gone heavy Hammarby but still not sure that's the way to do it). Birmancevic still looks like he can provide points at that range, L Bengtsson (as I was flagging this week but failed to get in myself) is interesting to me.

        Malmö def is probably not where I'd invest atm. Think Selmani and/or Ludwigson could have a great end to the season, Amoo is a good player IRL but I think the standard formation will still be Ludwigson and Selmani up top. You're going to have to make a call on Norrköping too, I've gone off them because of fixtures but Adegbenro/Levi can still do good stuff ofc.

        1. Niemi
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Haha, I've had a lot of luck 😉

          The good thing about this is that you've listed pretty much everyone I have in my current draft. Nice with some confirmation bias.

          I think I'm sticking with Wålemark over Bengtsson. Wålemark has better underlying stats, although Bengtsson has decent stats too.

          Amoo have amazing stats per 90. He has had that all season, far better than Selmani and Ludwigson. After Amoo starting and scoring last GW, I find it hard to not take a punt there. Ludwigson is currently in my draft too, but he's the one I'm most unsure about. His stats are decent, but not at the level you'd expect at his price. He's not good at all for bonus points either. Hard to not be tempted by those fixtures though. I like someone like Levi a lot more, but the fixtures aren't amazing. I'm probably going Ludwigson now, and shifting back to Levi in a few GWs. Adegbenro is gone now.

          I'm also dead set on 5 strong defenders. I think I'm going Hodzic, Jeahze, Ekpolo (I know he's suspended this GW) and J. Larsson. Undecided about the last slot. Ekdal? Strand? Otieno? Nilsson? Currently leaning Ekdal as a short term option, before shifting to Otieno or Nilsson in a few GWs. Good fixtures for DIF, but I don't like 3 of the next 4 being away. Their defensive underlying stats are not good at all either, they have really dropped off a lot over the last 5-10 GWs. At the same time I guess the EO will still be fairly high.

          1. Meltens
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah I definetely don't think Bengtsson is worth it over Wålemark, only an option in a double-up IMO.

            I think the big issue with Amoo continues to be game time and the fact he is a better player IRL so far than in fantasy. The savings over Ludwigsson makes him interesting though and when they play they are about as threatening, I still think the coach prefers Ludwig/Selmani up top in general but against low blocks from defensively solid teams (Mjällby and Halmstad in particular coming up) I can see Amoo starting and doing well. Remains to be seen if he can fit all of them in together, I think that would be very interesting in a 3-4-2-1 kind of formation.

            I still think Joel Nilsson is the stand-out Mjällby defender, even with Hodzic taking a pen in Löfkvist absence. Nilsson has a lot more threat from open play and the likelyness of 1-multiple pens in the final 7 games is not something I'd factor in too much at this point. I've watched a lot of Djurgården this season and I'm not that convinced about their defence tbh, but it could improve if Vasyutin gets the GK spot back. I have Ekdal for what it's worth, wildcarded last week. I don't see it as a must, but ofc in your position there's an element of protection from the CS as well.

            1. Niemi
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              As far as I can see, they ended up in a 3421 formation last GW. Hopefully they can keep that.

              It's quite clearly that Joel Nilsson has more threat from open play, but Hodzic still got more assist potential, looks better for bonus and on pens. Right now I'm leaning both.

              I'm kinda torn. I could go safe and try to protect me against the EO of certain players. However, I've gotten here by following the underlying stats and my gut (and a lot of luck ofc!), so I'm tempted to continue with that. And my current gut says 0x DIF-def (+ both Hodzic and Nilsson..)

              1. Meltens
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                I was very close to having the trifecta Mjällby def (C Eriksson, Nilsson, Hodzic) but went Moros Gracia as the third Mjällby option to save a mil over Hodzic, especially as I mostly play with 3 defs and the third mjällby is for the bench.

                Go with stats + gut, that way you will at least not be disappointed with yourself no matter how things end up! 🙂 Playing the defensive game and potentially failing in that while going against how you usually play doesn't sound great (although winning it ofc does ;)). No need to switch tactics I reckon.

                Good luck!

                  • 9 Years

  22. General Nuisance

    2 years, 5 months ago

    WC activated for me as well. Any thoughts on keeping or ditching Oliver Berg, Adegbenro and Halmstad keepers? I have value tied up, but their fixtures are not appealing.

    1. Niemi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Halmstad GK out for Eriksson or Zatterström IMO

      I'm ditching Adegbenro, but there is a case for keeping. If you look at where Adegbenro has performed, it's mainly been when they have had favorable fixtures. They've had pretty favorable fixtures since GW13, and Adegbenro has scored 7 goals and assisted 2 in that period. They had a rougher period of fixtures from GW8-12, where Adegbenro only scored 1 goal (he did not start all of those though). The only thing that worries me slightly is that they have 3 home games from GW25-28. Could be a big factor, even if the opponent isn't the greatest.

      I personally ditched Berg a few GWs ago. His stats are still okay, but the fixtures aren't good.

      1. General Nuisance
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers! Much appreciated!

        1. Niemi
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Actually, after looking deeper at underlyings I'm not sure if the Norrköping fixtures are quite as bad as you'd think. I might keep Levi, and rotate him out of AIK and Kalmar away. Quite a few home games. Still not keeping Adegbenro though.

  23. Sweetcover
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    FWIW (speaking from somewhere back in the 7000s ranks) I'm playing my WC this week; everyone in my draft has been mentioned in the few posts above, other than I'm thinking of using Stenmark and possibly Vilhelmsson as dirt-cheap enablers who have also been playing a few minutes recently. I wouldn't usually do that but I fancy a change for the fun of having more money to spend on the starting XI.

    Otherwise my indecision is around whether or not to go heavy on Malmö - I'm thinking not, given their stars might be active against Chelsea, though I'm keeping Colak and also a Christensen-shaped hole in my budget (see Stenmark etc. above).

    I'm assuming MAIF's form will end soon but am keeping Eriksson and probably Nilsson (possibly also cheap Gustavsson as an alternative enabler). I'll also go for some sort of triple-up combination of Hammarby/Häcken this week followed by steadily filtering in Malmö players over the next 2-3 weeks, plus a punt each week on whoever's playing Örebro or Östersunds.

    1. Niemi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      For what is worth, MAIF have amazing underlying defensive stats and the fixtures are rather good.

    2. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Will Mjällby eventually concede? Highly likely.
      But I think they will continue to be an elite defence over the coming weeks, nothing really indicates a break down of sorts and the GK has good numbers in terms of saves and bonus too, while some of the defenders have attacking prowess as well.

      Malmö... Colak is a given I reckon and if you can I wouldn't mind a mid to go with him, not sure yet if AC is worth the extra 4 mil (roughly) over Birm but time will tell. Defence I'd probably avoid as things stand, the most nailed ones are the ones that offer the least and they haven't exactly been super solid either.

      1. Niemi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        The underlying stats of Mjällby are elite. However, they have conceded like 7 xG over the last 8 games and conceded zero. That's unsustainable. Only AIK has a better defensive stats over the same period though.

        Full breakdown of xG conceded. It's really, really good! Only conceded over 1 xG away to Djurgården and Malmö.

        dif - 1.68
        deg - 0.97
        AIK - 0.56
        bkh - 0.91
        HBK - 0.63
        IFE - 0.47
        mff - 1.08
        KFF - 0.47

        1. General Nuisance
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Wow! Thanks for the xG stats. Really makes a defense stand out as picks.

        2. Meltens
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah their goalkeeper has been great and they've obviously been a bit lucky, any CS requires a fair share of luck tbh (combined with skill ofc). I don't think they need to clean every single game to still provide value though, especially when other than AIK (and possibly Djurgården if they get their stuff together), I don't see a whole lot of upside with backing other defences for cleans over them.

          Elfsborg is a weak spot for me personally haha, I always think they will revert back to being kind of meh but they've been sneakily great all season 🙂

      2. General Nuisance
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Would you prefer Ekdahl over Larsson (putting aside the price difference)?

        1. Meltens
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Nope I'd definitely go J Larsson if price wasn't an issue but it's a big chunk of cash. I couldn't stretch it in the end but I suspect he will be quite good in the final games, as they push for the top spots!

          1. General Nuisance
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers! J Larsson does take up a huge chunk of cash. I cannot really stretch that far. This will probably be the last decision on my wildcard.

            I am seriously thinking of a Mjallby triple up! Not much to loose at the final stretch!

            1. Niemi
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              I'm going 3x, and I have a lot to lose (OR2)

              1. Niemi
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Let's go!

                1. General Nuisance
                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 5 months ago

                  Yea, almost there. The triple up is happening. Just a final decision to make: Hodzic and Moros or Joel Nilsson and Kricac? Cannot have both Nilsson and Hodzic unless I drop Ekdahl,

                  1. Meltens
                    • Has Moderation Rights
                    • 8 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    I still put Nilsson down as the most likely to get attacking returns in general, Hodzic pens are realistically max capped at 1 more for the season and he’s not been taking set pieces like he did early on before Elias Andersson

                    1. General Nuisance
                      • 8 Years
                      2 years, 5 months ago

                      Cheers! The only minor concern about Nilsson is his game time. The upside is that he is much more fun pick! 🙂

    Who is your captain for this week? Any late WC questions?

    1. General Nuisance
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Really unsure about captaincy. Eriksson and Wålemark are options, and maybe a defender. No one really stands out from the crowd, but I may be wrong.

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not super clear indeed, I still think the biggest potential comes from Hammarby this week but it could be tricky picking the right one

        I’m not sure about Häcken smashing Halmstad, that’s why Wålemark isn’t in the cap conversation for me personally

        1. General Nuisance
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Who would you go for in Hammarby? In the article you mention Selmani

          1. Meltens
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I'm still trying to figure out myself how they will line up most weeks but I don't see Selmani being a regular on the bench, coach himself said he's their first choice striker. I think he's acutely aware of the goal production being crap so far (even if assists have been good) so I'd imagine he tries to get to double figures before the end of the season. I think he has the highest motivation but in terms of threat Amoo is right up there, it's just the minutes that are a concern. Every time he's on the pitch he looks like scoring.

            Ludwigson is the odd one out, the price point and role in the squad makes him more of a dif than the ownership numbers (ghost ships a lot of them) seem to points towards. He's consistent, but perhaps not really having the ceiling. I might end up having all three but that's a calculated risk more than something I'm sure I'd really recommend to others 🙂

            1. General Nuisance
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Thanks, Meltens! Trying to stick with my guns! Going for Ludwigsson and Amoo, with a triple Mjallby defence (with Nilsson, I think). I have a hopefully good enough bench (Otieno and a Mjallby defender for example) in case someone misses out.

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks Meltens, great write up as ever. I only own one of the scout picks! Not sure this is going to be a great week for me.

      Captain-wise, most of my players have relatively tough matchups so I will be going Eriksson for his reliability and high floor.

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers mate!

        Heavy Malmö/AIK then? Could be good too.
        Nothing wrong with Eriksson at all, looking at 5 points minimum most weeks even without returns so can't complain. I need to chase a bit so loading up on Hammarby and hoping for a trashing.

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I've gone for a risky MAIF defensive triple up, got a couple of Malmo (Birman / Colak) couple of KFF. Zero AIK now and zero Hammarby. So I think we're needing very different things from this GW 🙂

          1. Meltens
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Haha seems like it, Ludwigson, Amoo and Selmani (C) for me so it's either feast or famine!
            Got Birm and Colak too and no AIK, with two mjällby defs that could be 3 if a malmö player surprisingly misses out comepletely.

    3. Mullered in Maenam

      Hi Petter, I put the armband on Eriksson for 16 points, got 34 pts so far from five played so happy with that, up to the dizzying heights of 668 OR. You're off to a good start mate, good luck for the rest of the weekend.

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        A whooping 48 points behind you with 6.5 GWs to go, this is going to be tough!

        My aim is very clear however, finish in the top 1k and ideally above you, then I’m satisfied all things considered 😉

        “Good luck” Johnny, I’m coming for you!

    Jeremejeff is out! Be wary of the potential rotation this midweek and sort your bench if required. Who are you looking to captain?

    1. General Nuisance
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The Jeremejeff news are unwelcome. I am not sure whether to bench him and transfer Kricak to a playing defender, or get someone like Edvardssen or Antonsson.

      Late WC changes to bring in Jeremejeff for Edvardsen (and no Amoo as my 5th mid) proved to be very costly. Ughhhh

      1. Niemi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Btw, any word on Antonsson? I saw he walked off injured last game.

        My GW23 WC went for Selmani and Ekpolo with very little success as well...

        Antonsson: Haven't heard anything at all tbh, he's in the squad at least!

      I just did Berg -> Wålemark. I have been trying to build to a decent front three to make the most of my 'Attack! Attack!' chip but the options are so uninspiring right now. I can't even find two exciting players to put 'Two Captains' on.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Wålemark captain too btw

      2. Niemi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Which GW are you looking at? GW27? Should offer some tasty options. You could even go for a budget option like Sarr from MAIF, who you can bench in other games. IDK if I'd trust Stefanelli, but he also has a great fix there. The big boys Jeremejeff, Selmani and to some extent Colak also good there, but I guess it's hard to fit in all 3 of those.. Frick a cheap option too, but not very exciting.

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks! GW27 I think. I have Colak already so I am guided by his fixtures. I think it's 26, 27 or 30 but I am loath to play a chip in 30 if there is nothing left to play for. I also have Adegbenro and he has KFF in 27 which is an OK fixture. Having checked 27 it's a great week to bring in Stefanelli or, better yet, Selmani as you say, and I have 2GWs to build to it. I actually have 2.2m in the bank! So could do Björk and Ring to Selmani + junk.

          Two Captains is a bit more flexible so I will probably drop that in 26: Colak (iks) and Eriksson (osk) look as good as any. Thanks for your help.

            I guess there are many good weeks, I've just noticed GW27 has a lot of mismatches so there should be many opportunities. GW30 do look good for a rank boost in the last GW too. We should get lineups from all teams as well, which is nice.

            1. Make Arrows Green Again
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Good point about the lineups - that may well end up being a good week. What is the best source for leaks/reveals?

              1. Niemi
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                The Allsvenskan Live app (official) posts lineups from 75 mins before deadline. They're not always on time though, annoyingly. A few times they haven't been posted before after deadline too.

                  2 years, 5 months ago

                  Great advice, thanks. I have always flown blind when it comes to deadlines.

        Very uninspiring indeed... Colak + 2 randoms, not sure they have to be premium really just a decent fixture + form. Eddie at home for instance. Adegbenro/Nyman I guess. Jeremejeff shouldn't be out for too long I don't think, unless they are hiding something he should be back soon.

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I'm certainly not convinced that they should be premiums but old habits die hard XD. I think I will spend big because I can afford it and because, with the season running out, I don't need to worry about messing up my team structure.

      Nice article, Meltens! I went with Adegbenro as captain, even though Mjällby has recently been stingy allowing goals (until last Sunday that is). He just seems to tick over fairly consistently, and hasn’t blanked the few times I’ve captained him.

    Hi Petter used my two FT this week (before the Jeremejeff news!). Needed to beef up my defence so out went Kurtulus and Papagiannopoulos and in came Johan Larsson and Stenmark. With Jeremejeff out my first sub in will be Bjork of Norrkoping.

    I have Amoo but I'm going to punt on Johan Larsson as captain. Amoo has very poor away form which has swayed me to Larsson. Good luck mate, 50 behind but you are 4 ahead of me in the H2H.

    1. Niemi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not worried about Degerfors usually scoring at home? So annoying with Jeremejeff missing out..

      1. Mullered in Maenam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed, jeremejeff out is a blow as my bench isn't great. Yep, Larsson to keep a clean sheet and get an attacking return is a punt but it's getting to that point of the season. I aim for a top 1% finish and I'm about 26 points off that so time to punt!

        1. Niemi
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Good luck! I'm probably doing Jeremejeff -> Nyman myself. I don't mind the Norrköping fixtures for the rest of the season really, although short term they aren't as good as Jeremejeff's where. Not ruled out Edvardsen or Karim yet either..

    Considering Jeremejeff to Elfsborg striker. Do we reckon that Gudjohnsen after his 2 goals will continue up front or will Frick replace him?
    (Colak on bench)

    Captain: Bengtsson or Wålemark

    1. Niemi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think Frick is expected to come back in, but I'm not 100% sure.

  29. CurlyMatt FPL

    Cheers maybe Gudjohnsen is too big a gamble and is one to keep an eye for AAA chip in GW30

    Quick turnaround again and now just 5 more GWs to go! Who are you eying up as a late differential? Captains this week?

    1. General Nuisance
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Playing it safe with captaincy this GW.

      I do not yet trust them, but IFK Göteborg have started to show some promising signs.

      Hi Petter, rolled the transfer and armband on Walemark. Any news on Jeremejeff, is he still sick?
