Projecting Value – The Forwards

2 August 2011 1969 comments

Paul

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.

I have been having a bit of a morning fiddle (ooh er) experimenting at a purely GW 1-3 team and trying to cram some more high value players in - particularly from City, in then occurred to me: for those anticipating a fairly early wildcard City's fixtures aren't actually all that amazing - away at Bolton and Spurs in weeks 2 and 3. It would make sense to have attacking coverage for the Swansea game but beyond that I'd be happy with just Kompany if I was WCing GW4. Yet I've seen posts written by people planning a GW4 wildcard talking about having 3 City players, what am I missing?

  Im considering 3 city players for GW 1. Kompany, Silva and Aguero as a punt. GW2 Aguero is transferred out for whoever plays out of Drogba and Torres.
  
  Silva and Kompany is season keepers...

  rafael...rotation/fixtures
  caulker...will he play?
  walters...fixtures
  malouda...tricky to decide if he's a good choice rotation
  gervinho...untested/rotation/fixtures
  carroll...fixtures
  
  I'm finding it difficult to decide on attacking players because many of the big clubs have rough fixtures...Man Utd and Spurs are worst here so maybe Liverpool and Arsenal are better targets
  
  I'd be looking for at least one £12.0m slot up front so you can pick Rooney/Van Persie/Tevez/Aguero/Torres when it suits you...don't underestimate the importance of a good captain...the only real alternative is a slot for Lampard/Gerrard/Fabregas but this must be an inferior strategy
  
  Using cheap players as your captain might work out really well for you but I'd be surprised if there are many people who feel this has worked well for them in the past...the problem comes when Rooney (or whoever) runs hot, loads of people get him and you find it difficult to get him into your team
  
  I'd also be looking for a £10.0m slot for Carroll/Suarez/Gervinho etc

      Defence is too week. Because of not getting points for playing, your defenders need to getting plenty of clean sheets. So dont save money there, (unless of course like me your betting on some skills from leceister this time).
      
      So downgrade whittingham and pack in the brummy defenders

  I think it's good. Personally i think you've stretched your squad a bit too much for the big hitters. Keeping a trio of Dyer, Moses and Holt is prob not going to last. Also, keep an eye on Enrique to make sure he goes to Liverpool

What are peoples thoughts on having Jose Enrique in your team if Liverpool sign him before the season starts?

You would think he would be a nailed on starter for them and represents good value.

However Liverpool have let in three goals in each of their pre-season games, which is hardly good defensive form!

Also, would this mean he would play LB and Johnson would move to RB pushing Kelly onto the bench?

  His value, where he to be a starter at a team like Liverpool, is too much of a bargain.
  
  At Liverpool, he will easily outscore his rivals in the 5m bracket i.e. Bardsley, Hughes, R. Johnson etc...
  
  and Kelly will be benched.

    Seriously though, if you can put together a defence where you need someone to play for you in GW1, 3, 6 and 9 onwards, he's a bargain. Otherwise it's like when your mum buys loads of stuff you don't need, just because its on offer so it must be a bargain.

A wee bit bored so I threw together a Sun Dream Team. Most will have no interest at all but anyone care to RMT.

For those unfamiliar with the rules heres a few of the biggies:
- Points are scored depending on how your players perform for their club in Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and Europa League matches
- No points for assists, only goals scored.
- Budget of 50m.

GK B Friedel £3.0m
DEF G Clichy £4.0m
DEF B Sagna £4.0m
DEF B Hangeland £4.0m
DEF R Huth £3.5m
MID D Hoilett £2.5m
MID F Lampard £7.5m
MID C N'Zogbia £4.0m
MID R Van der Vaart £6.0m
STR W Rooney £8.0m
STR B Zamora £3.5m

    Lol... actually, VDV is probably the one exception... not sure good value though.
    Someone like Bale, i refuse stylistically... straight-lined boringness, can't think of any other who are worthy. (sandro COULD be value... but prob not based on the roasting Harry gave him when he scored that goal! Room for a forward transfer for Spurs...
    I am talking about Spurs, *shakes head*

  My thoughts are:
  - He's probably the best midfielder available in the game.
  - His opening fixtures are crapola.
  - He's injury prone.
  
  I'm liking Malouda for the opening fixtures. He's a rotation risk yes but if it comes off it could be beautiful, if not, it's an easy Malouda > VDV later.

Agbonlahor’s brillian…
14 years, 6 months ago
Morning.
1. Ameobi vs Ba vs other NEW forward options?
Think i am going 'balls out of the bath, Lynn' on the forwards this season, but curious to the above options.
Cabaye has penalty 'rep', so maybe assume Ameobi not on pens for comparison...

2. Any bolton fans...Bogdan??
(for some reason i think he looks like he has saves in him... although i think it is his hair colour and the likelihood for an associated nervous/defensive disposition)
What is the defence looking like? Impact of Cahill possibly leaving?

Let me try the shorter version

A) S Taylor - Dyer - Bent
B) Simpson - N'Zogbia - Hoilett

I prefer B but really like to have Bent (although he %^%&% me a couple of times last year).

  No, I think you can get away with that. I would have N'Zog in there by downgrading one of Sess/Taar/Jarvis. I've been tempted by AJ up front - do you think he'll play?

    I was thinking of downgrading RVP to Bent after GW1 instead of having N'Zog, but will think about it...
    
    I like the idea of AJ, I think he'll play, not even worried to be honest!

  Don't get the love for Clichy personally. He was dodgy at Arsenal and I can't see him being a solid starter - surely rotation is on the cards? Also he offers little going forwards

    Seems the best option at 6.0 for now considering SWA then bol as 1st two games. I'm pretty sure he's been signed as no1 left back. I had Kolarov last season and towards the end of the season he was getting dropped for Zabaleta (who's a bloody RB).
    Like I said I'm planning on bringing in a Chelsea player anyway for GW3 depending on who is playing. Probably Luiz

      Zabaleta plays either side? Mancini loves to rotate in any case and Clichy is as much an accident waiting to happen as Kolarov (well okay, maybe not quite so much). Also they've signed a new CB - Lescott can and has played LB for them before too.
      
      I guess time will tell but I think there are better options out there.

I'm seeing quite a few low/mid priced midfield options this year and not many high priced good options with Gerrard/fabs/lampard all lookign dodgy. The upper/mid price options aren't great either while we're still waiting to see the roles of Silva, Malouda, Modric etc.

On the other hand Rooney and RVP are both looking pretty solid picks imo - i reckon i'll start with both of them and a relatively weak midfield to play the fixtures with.

In other news support still haven't replied to me regarding the fact that my history/leagues have gone missing. I'm doubtful whether they'll sort it out before the start of the season which is annoying.

  I'm thinking the same, Rooney and RVP for sure, going to go for the likes of Ssessgnon, maybe OHara etc.
  Can't decide over Baines.
  
  I normally play my WC GW 6-8 to sort it all out once we know who are starters.

    Baines i'm torn over too. Lot of money but he should be a solid pick right through the season. Reckon i'll take the plunge.
    
    Sessgnon is lookign good, Taarabt i think could do well in fantasy terms, Moses/Barton/NZogbia all have the potential to be great picks too.

      "Can’t decide over Baines"..."Baines i’m torn over too"
      
      just think of him as a midfielder with some clean sheet points and he doesn't seem so expensive i.e. much better than Malouda imo

  Don't know who Connolly is, personally wouldn't have Adam, too expensive, likely be overshadowed by Gerrard.
  Would go for Hughes over Hangeland, and invest that money in MF.
