Projecting Value – The Forwards

2 August 2011 1969 comments

Our next Members article looking at the idea of “value” sees Forwards come under the microscope. With a fresh revision of players last weekend in light of factors such as transfers and pre-season tactics, we’ve tweaked the Projected totals to give you an up-to-date reflection on our thinking. While many of our top ten value forwards are lower-priced options that perhaps may be more suited to rotation, the kind opening prices afforded to the likes of Luis Suarez and Peter Odemwingie propels a couple of FPL big-hitters firmly into our thoughts.

    Evening guys (and girls??)

    With no new developments untill the start of the season I'm pretty sure I'm going to choose between:

    A)
    Given (Rudy)
    Baines-Kompany-Bramble-Briggs-Taylor S
    N'Zogbia-Moses-Malouda-Sinclair-Silva
    Van Persie-Zamora-Hoilett
    0,5m left

    B)
    Given (Rudy)
    Baines-Kompany-Bramble-Briggs-Simpson
    Dyer-Moses-Malouda-Sinclair-Silva
    Van Persie-Zamora-Bent

    Which comes down to:
    A)Taylor S - N'Zogbia - Hoilett - 0,5m
    B)Simpson - Dyer - Bent

    My preference goes to B but I really like the option to transfer Zamora for Odemwingidingie without problems.
    I will have 1-2 weeks to see how the promoted guys are doing. Maybe after 1-2 weeks Bent will be transfered out for Suarez.

    Thoughts & suggestions? Too many rotation risks in the cheap department?
    Thx.

      I expect Kuyt to get a lot of bonus points this season, he's very highly ranked in Actim Index's books. But if Everton do well in general this season I think Baines will outscore him.

      He's been given a rest (along with Alex) after the Copa America. He's got Alex and Ivanovic as competition for CB - Ivanovic will probably start on the right (although Bosingwa's in with a shout), with Alex or Luiz joining Terry at CB.

      See here for a more full discussion on Luiz:

      I reckon its logic for him to play ahead of Torres as stoke are a more physical side. I fancy his chances to score from set pieces too. But will be shipping him in GW3 for suarez.

          I like the way you get two decent strikers (and can switch Bent to Suarez ultimately, if you liked), plus Malouda *and* Baines *and* City coverage in Yaya (I keep trying to get Silva in my squad, but perhaps this is wiser...) *and* N'Zog.

    Anyone looking for a bet:

    Copa Sundamericana, Cesar Vallejo v Independiente Santa Fe.

    Cesar Vallejo are well into their season (W5 D5 L5) so I think this freshness will stand to them. Santa Fe on the other hand lost 12 players in transfer window and aren't in the best of shape. Quality wise Santa Fe probably edge it but with Cesar Vallejo having games under their belt and at home in Peru I think they should win this.

    Cesar Vallejo @ 10/11

        Malmo caught Rangers cold last week and I can't see them beating them again. They're toiling mid-table in Sweden and despite Rangers being nothing short of absolutely woeful away from home in Europe they should be good enough to reverse the result.
