Versus – Low to Mid-Price Midfielders

3 August 2014 4901 comments

Paul

With the season now just a fortnight away, we turn our attentions to a number of kindly priced midfielders in our latest article for members. Picking the right combinations in the mid-price bracket looks crucial to a strong start and with Fantasy managers debating the merits of a number of targets, we scour the statistics to assess their previous form.

For the purpose of this article, we’ve selected seven midfielders, no more than 6.5 in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, who have proven popular picks so far and/or are set for some favourable opening fixtures – potentially affording them the chance to hand us an early-season bandwagon. Comparing their respective statistics, we also dig deeper into seasons gone by in our attempt to ascertain the best options for our initial lineups.

  Thanks, was having second thoughts after reading a post from: 99 PROBS BUT VIDIC AINT 1,
  
  “Just back from Arsenal vs Monaco. Observations below for anyone who is interested (albeit based on a meaningless friendly)”
  
  “Ramsey - loads of energy but often came from deep. Didn't get as much of the ball as last year in this particular game so not convinced he is a must have from the start”

A) Dzeko Ramsey Krul

B) Austin Sanchez Begovic

I feel as though 1 of the 10mil+ mids is required, for greater flexibility. Much easier to downgrade than to upgrade. Thoughts?

I have a midfield conundrum, do I go with
Sanchez, Fabregas, Mirallas/Tadic switch after first gw
Or
Ramsey, Hazard, Eriksen

The second seems slightly stronger but I'm afraid to miss out on the Alexis train.

Ramsey or Sanchez?

Who knows.. But if you get Ramsey and Sanchez starts up front in place of the shite Giroud you could be fooked. Switching to Sanchez will destroy your team. If if it goes the other way then Sanchez to Ramsey is easy. No brainer for me

  whilst sanchez up top is possibility, how fit is he going to be? One match left (man city) before the start of the season.
  
  Then a few days after palace the CL qualifier. A few days after gw 2 is the 2nd leg. Will he start all games? Possibly but his mins will be limited in the prem games unless Arsenal win the cl qualifier comfortably.

More details on the hold-up with Christian Gamboa's work permit for West Brom, although the signing of Jason Davidson is likely to go ahead. (Story was embargoed until 22:30 this evening.)

Terry is Chelsea's top scorer in pre-season with 3 goals and he looks dangerous in the box. Anyone going for him?

Even in their defeat against WB it sounds like he threatened:

"We threatened for the first time when Terry volleyed across goal and wide"

  Thing is it's alright in pre-season but I think he won't be involved anywhere near as much when the Premier League kicks in and the opposition becomes more difficult.

  I don't want to to tell you how to run your team but:
  
  Ramsey, Fabregas, Mata, Siggy
  
  Rooney, Costa, Pelle
  
  Looks quite strong & frees £4m - that's a huge amount of money.

Im hoping after Wengers comments regarding Giroud that Sanchez may get the nod up top in the central striker role.

As a result ive tinkered again

I was thinking about Tadic,Siggy,Austin and the rest of mid priced players,but then I realized that big hitters are ones who bring u most points and players which u will captain. The rest isnt really matter,its lottery. That's just bonus which goes alongside big hitters.
