fantasy premier league – Team “under the radar” for DGW31

If you’re looking for some differentials here’s a team for fantasy premier league DGW31 with everyone in it having 10% ownership or less.

Firstly I’m not seriously saying this should be your team it’s just a collection of individuals with low ownership to give you ideas that  are a little bit different.  They are low ownership for a reason and therefore all come with risk.   In the article I’ll try and explain why the low ownership and the risks accocaited with it and why this maybe a time that there fortunes could turn

Here’s the team with a few words underneath

Krul £5.1m (5% ownership)

The Newcastle defence has attracted little attention this year due to a few high profile thrashings including 10 goals conceded in 3 games recently.  However they do have a reasonable overall defence with 8 clean sheets this season.  It’s evenly balanced home and awaythough  so it;s fixture sensitive rather than an ideal home/away rotation.  Krul though is a very good shot stopper and is 6th on the saves list and 3rd on the bonus points list for GKs.  Next 2 fixtures are good clean sheet prospects as well.  Coloccini nearing fitness will also help the defence.

Adrian £4.5m (3.3%)

The West Ham defence has gone largely under the radar due to a spell of conceding goals mid season that had Big Sam on the brink of getting the sack.  However its all been turned around now and West Ham have 13 clean sheets.  Thats the most in the league with Chelsea.  Like Newcastle they’re more fixture orientated than home focused and are probably better away from home. Adrian is another good   good shot stopper who’s already  got 5 bonus points in 10 games.  He also has the advantage of secure gametime when the rest of the defence has clouds over them due to competition for places

Kolarov £5.0m (4.3%)

Kolarov is the attacking and budget choice for Man City at £5.0m.  The best attacking defensive player in fantasy premier league.   The reason for the low ownership is Citys poor returns away from home and the fact that he is rotated  with Clichy.  So the price and low ownership comes with gametime risk.  Very good off the bench though even when rotated.  With City now free to concentrate on the league then the need for rotation diminishes.  Kolarov has started 8 of the last 13 and started at Barca so to me looks the favoured option which will hopefully see gametime improved.

Smalling £5.2m (1.7%)

With Evra and De Gea being the only secure gametime choices and some rather chaotic defensive performances then it’s no surprise why Smalling has gone under the radar.   However with the injury to Evans and Vidic being phased out due to his transfer to Inter according to Moyes then Smalling stands a reasonable chance of some gametime. He’s by far the cheapest option so at least you get some value for the risk.   However there are 4 CBs still at Man Utd so the risk is still there.

Curtis Davies £4.7m (3.1%)

Skrtel £5.6m (3.9%)

It’s no secret why the Liverpool defence has low ownership.  Its because its largely been a complete shambles.  However with 4 goals this season he has excellent attacking form and reasonable DGW31 fixtures.  Liverpool despite the shambles still have 8 clean sheets 5 at home so there is some hope of more
