Who early in the fantasy premier league week is being transferred in and out so desperately before the mid week European games and should we be following suit?
Transfers in
1. Suarez
Everyone should be transferring in Suarez and I will be doing so but later in the week not earlier following my normal “value doesnt matter theory”. Having said that he’s £10.2m and he’s risen by £0.1m already this week.
Suarez is top of the last 6 and the season shooting stats and top of the chances created for the last 6 and the season for strikers. Liverpool also have the best fixtures in the next 6. Crucially Suarez has found the ability to finish that was eluding him early season. Here’s his returns in the last 4 weeks 8,9,9,11.
The next 2 fixtures are a little tricky with
Swansea (A)
Tottenham (A)
before they get really good.
Southampton (H)
West Ham (A)
Aston Villa (H)
Fulham (H)
Its a BUY
2. Sterling
He started at £4.5m so at the very least he’s a hold given the fixtures on the way. His returns in the last 6 were 3, 11, 1 , 2, 2, 11.
Heres the top scorers in his price range
 | Routledge | SWA | 5.4 | 49 |
| Dyer | SWA | 5.4 | 46 |
| Sterling | LIV | 5.4 | 46 |
| Sidwell | FUL | 5.1 | 41 |
| Kightly | STK | 5.5 | 40 |
| De Guzman | SWA | 5.7 | 40 |
Heres the form guide
| Johnson | NOR | 4.7 | 4.8 |
| Schneiderlin | SOU | 4.4 | 4.2 |
| Sterling | LIV | 5.4 | 4 |
| Hoolahan | NOR | 5.5 | 4 |
| Beausejour | WIG | 5.3 | 4 |
| Leigertwood | RDG | 4.5 | 4 |
And finally points per game
| Midfielders | £ | PPG | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Powell | MUN | 4.6 | 6 |
| Sterling | LIV | 5.4 | 4.2 |
| Routledge | SWA | 5.4 | 4.1 |
| Puncheon | SOU | 4.4 | 4.1 |
| Gera | WBA | 5.0 | 4 |
Lastly I’m going to compare him to Taarabt who’s in my “ones to watch”
points per game 4.2 to 3.4 for Sterling
Shooting stats go to Taarabt
Penalty area touches Taarabt
Chances created Taarabt
Average position fairly even
However fixtures would probably give the edge to Sterling at the moment.
Its a BUY
3. Garrido
Really a Norwich defender? wEll they are in my view the best edefnce outside the elite teams and Stoke
Here’s their fixtures
Everton (A)
Southampton (A)
Sunderland (H)
Swansea (A)
Wigan (H)
West Brom (A)
Not exactly easy. Personally I think the Norwich defence is a buy but I would go for Turner who’s cheaper at£4.2m and has good attacking potential
Its a BUY for Turner but not Garrido
Transfers out
1. Fellaini
Suspended for the Norwich game and now with a horrible run of fixtures but this is a player who’s top of the shooting stats for the Season and the last 6. He’s also the 2ns top points scorer in fantasy premier league behind Hazard. Unfortunately mixes in the odd anonymous game with games that he’s unplayable which makes him a difficult captain choice but there’s no way I’m abandoning him yet.
Its a HOLD for me
2. Torres
When your last 5 games have seen fantasy premier league scores of 2 -1 2 2 2 then there’s no surprise fantasy premier league managers are losing faith. Im not a fan despite an upturn in the shooting stats recently. Too many other options although fixtures aren’t that bad after Man City at the weekend.
Its a SELL for me (get Suarez)
3. Jenkinson
You really should have sold him already. Sagna’s at RB and only £5.4m and Vermaelen is playing at LB. The only good thing is that he doesnt seem to go on as sub so at £4.7m he isnt really burning that big a hole in your pocket. With Arsenals good fixtures you could just play him and then sort him out in the January transfer window. not for me though
Its a SELL
