PlayON Player Picks – Gameweek 6

27 September 2013 2276 comments

Paul

Headliners Wayne Rooney and Boaz Myhill produced the goods last week, while Yohan Cabaye also chipped in before succumbing to a groin problem at home to Hull. We cast an eye over this week’s PlayON price list and get scouting in search of bargains once again.

If you’re new to PlayON, read this season’s introduction article for more information. If you’re already a seasoned player, read on for our selection of early weekend targets…

Gameweek 6 Picks

Goalkeeper – David Marshall
This week there are four regular keepers all under the 8.0m bracket but the Cardiff stopper looks the most enticing option. Marshall’s heroics against Tottenham last Sunday earned him 1,400 points on PlayON and a trip to Craven Cottage on Saturday to face a Fulham side with one goal in their last three league appearances make the Bluebirds stopper strong value at 7.8m. The other three budget keepers for your perusal are Kieran Westwood (7.0m), Brad Guzan (7.5m) and Boaz Myhill (7.7m) but with games against Liverpool, City and United respectively, their prospects look a little bleaker.

Defender – Vincent Kompany
Having only just returned from injury, the City skipper is available for a bargain 9.2m this week. Kompany rolls up to Villa Park on Saturday and with the midlands outfit devoid of talisman Christian Benteke, the visitors’ chances of a clean sheet seems far more likely – bearing in mind Pablo Zabaleta will set you back 11.4m, Kompany looks a relatively cut-price route into Manuel Pellegrini’s backline. Scouring the budget bracket, there are plenty of options for those willing to take a gamble with one or two of their picks – United’s Rafael is back from injury and is priced at 7.3m ahead of a home clash with West Brom, West Ham summer signing Razvan Rat (8.0m) seems to have finally established himself as first-choice left-back and heads to Hull this weekend, while Fulham’s Fernando Amorebieta (8.1m) made his first start last time out and will be confident of returns at home to a Cardiff side with one goal in the last three Gameweeks.

Midfielder – Mikel Arteta
Similar to Kompany, the Arsenal midfielder’s recent return from injury ensures his price remains in the budget bracket. Arteta is available for a mere 6.2m this weekend and with Arsene Wenger sweating over the fitness of Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini, the Spaniard looks set for his first league start of the season and has penalty duties to also boost his points potential. With doubts hanging over Leon Osman, Darron Gibson is likely to return to the Everton starting line-up and at 5.9m, the Toffees midfielder looks a steal. Hull’s Stephen Quinn comes in at just 6.9m for the home game against West Ham – he has recently returned to the Tigers first-team as a result of Robert Koren’s injury, while the playmaking talents of Robert Snodgrass (7.6m) could be the difference for Norwich as they head to the Britannia.

Forward – Luis Suarez
Set to play his first league game since a 10-match suspension, the Liverpool forward is the cheapest frontline option in this week’s PlayON price list and heads to basement-dwellers Sunderland this weekend. Coming in at just 7.0m (compared to Daniel Sturridge’s 11.7m) Suarez looks set to torment the managerless Black Cats and will be handed plenty of opportunity to hog the headlines as the Merseysiders look to bounce back from last week’s shock home loss to Southampton. Romelu Lukaku remains kind on the budget at 9.3m and looks poised for his first league start after emerging from the bench to grab the winner at West Ham. Further up the price scale, Wayne Rooney is the luxury option at 11.6m – regardless of Robin Van Persie’s availability for Man United’s home game with West Brom, the former Everton man has done enough to justify our faith and has scored in back-to-back league matches.

How To Play

PlayON is weekly Fantasy football so you can dip in and out of playing throughout the season. Once your starting XI is built (you can keep changing your team right up to 2 hours before the first kick-off – 10.45 on Sat morning), you can compete for cash. Entering a multiplayer game for a set stake, you’ll have a chance of winning your share of the pot should you finish high enough in the rankings.

Similarly, you can challenge other players to one-on-one games, selecting the amount at stake. The likes of Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand and OptaJoe are all playing the game and are there to be challenged for free or for £1. The Fantasy Football Scout team is also available to be challenged and has a 64% win rate so far!

Facebook and Twitter £50 Competitions

In addition to guaranteeing a £500 pot this week, PlayON is also running a competition on its Facebook and Twitter pages to celebrate the return of Luis Suarez to league action. The two people that come up with the best captions for the Suarez picture on their Facebook and Twitter pages will each earn £50 of Free Credit – more Facebook and Twitter competitions on the way from PlayON over the course of the season too.

The Fantasy Football Scout Game

We’ve also got a £2 multiplayer game, dedicated to our community, which is now open and the prize pot is building.

Challenge Your Mates

You can also set up your own multiplayer games with your mates to play for free bragging rights or for cash. Create your own game at www.playon.co.uk.

Finally, a reminder that we have published a strategy guide, offering some tips for getting the most from your PlayON lineup, right here.

You have to be over 18 to enter cash games at PlayON. If you do wager some cash, please remember to gamble responsibly. PlayON is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.

        No one is dumb enough to start their "preferred choices" every game

        What?
        
        It's away to Spurs, not exactly a fixture to 'rotate' your top squad, especially after both Mikel and Ramires were suppose to be rested mid week. Ramires came on early and injured himself which might force Mourinho's hand.
        
        I love how you are making out that I'm the "dumb" one here for suggesting Mourinho of all people would go in to a game with Spurs with Mikel/Ramires over Lampard.

        Think Lampard gets a bit more stick than he deserves and he has made something of a transition into a deeper holding player. But do agree he is unsuitable for a high-tempo pressing game in a dense midfield, which is exactly what I expect from the Spurs game tomorrow.

        Exactly my point. Lampard may start the odd easier game (which I expected at home to Fulham given he hadn't started the week earlier) but he didn't even start that. If Ramires is fit enough Lampard won't start and I'm fully confident in saying that.
        
        Or he will start and get dominated by Dembele and Paulinho in midfield.

Arsenal have beaten Chelsea on the Capital One Cup then...

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho on his side's draw against Arsenal in the Capital One Cup said: "My view is that our under-21 team will have a good experience of the Capital One Cup.

"When the people that decide the fixtures this is something I have to accept. But I have to prioritise. It will be a chance for the kids to play a good match."

  Reply fail,
  
  Bring in someone who will play as your second keeper. Keeper transfers usually end up bottom of the pile and you don't want to be struggling to field a full eleven in the second half of the season. Preferred a strong/light combination myself as opposed to dealing with the nightmare of rotations.

Critisize!!
- My defense is good with good fix, allows flexibility if i want to play 4 at the back some games
- Will need to select two from miralas/ramsey/brady every week and they rotate well
- Ramsey / Brady are injury concerns but i reckon brady will start this gw and i can bench ramsey this gw..not sure extent of ramsey injury

Goalkeepers are usually bottom of the priority pile if they get injured; I'd advocate against Mignolet and a non-starter. Bring in at least a 4.5 man so in the worst case scenario you're not struggling spending transfers trying to field a a full eleven.

  I thought about this when selecting goalkeepers in the WC and realized when I calculated the risk I was more than happy with it. Essentially you are saving 0.5. As a crude calculation, assuming you're aiming for a conservative target of 2000 points this season that's worth at least 10 points. You are basically betting you will spend less than 10 points in hits in the 15 GWs before the January WC. That's less than three injuries.

      Getting Mignolet is betting that playing him all the time is a better option. That's why I got him anyway, I reason that Liverpool will get more CS than a Southampton/Cardiff combination for example. If they got 18 this season I think you'd definitely be in profit.

        Yea, I agree that picking the 'right' keeper week in week out can be tricky, but it's not as black and white as saying a £4.0m keeper is the difinitive option. Jussi and Bego worked wonders as a £4.5m combo last year (for the most part). And having a £4.5m keeper to cover a premium keeper's hard fixtures is handy.
