Sun Dream Team tips – FFGeek team update, fixtures and transfer suggestions
THE FFGEEK TEAMS AND PLANS
TEAM 1
Points: 1126 Overall Rank: 12, 168 Team Value: £62.1m + 3.3m ITB = £65.4m
Ibrahimovic, Sanchez and Eriksen I’m unequivocally happy with. Tadic and Aguero have got some good fixtures coming up so I’m happy there for the moment. I’d like to ditch Hazard preferably for Coutinho.
However I have 2 non playing defenders that need some fixing. Vertonghen is injured and Steklenburg may have lost his place in the team so at the moment they are top of my list to replace. I’ll probably replace Vertonghen with Alonso or another Chelsea defender.
Dawson has some good fixtures coming and I’m happy Stones will get enough gametime to produce some points with the competitions Man City are in
TEAM 2
Points: 1074 Overall Rank: 38,841 Team Value: £62.1m + 3.3m ITB = £65.4m
I’m happy with all the attacking players in the team except Hazard who I’d like to ditch for Coutinho.
In defence the only issue I need to deal with is Marshall at GK who’s lost his place. However he could play in the 4th round away to Fulham so no need to do anything just yet. Big Sam has been a disaster at Palace but they still have some good fixtures so I’ll hold Ward for the moment
UPCOMING FIXTURES
Here’s a top level summary
GW22 – 25th Jan to 29 Jan
EFL semis and FA Cup 4th round
GW23 – 31st Jan to 5 Feb
2 rounds of premier league
GW24 – 11 Feb to 12 Feb
9 PL games
GW25 – 13 Feb to 16 Feb
1 PL game plus Arsenal Spurs and Man Utd Euro fixtures
GW26 – 21 Feb to 26 Feb
9 PL games plus Man Utd, Man City, Leicester and Spurs Euro fixtures
FIXTURE SCHEDULE
Here I’ve ranked the next 3 PL fixtures by ease of their opponents principally from an attacking point of view. I’ve then added on the extra fixtures:
PLAYER SUGGESTIONS
One of the problems with additional fixtures will be rotation. The FA Cup will be prone to it as will the Europa League that Man Utd and Spurs are in I suspect. Unfortunately seeing the lineup for the first FA Cup games on the day is of little benefit as Liverpool will be locked out due to the EFL semi and Watford and Hull aren’t worth investing in. That only leaves the Friday night Leicester game who are a questionable investment managed by the original tinkerman
Here’s the top 9 players by Points per game over £5m.
The only player of this lot I would question is Hazard who has little additional fixtures and is in questionable form.
I think Coutinho and Aguero offer upside at a good price.
Some other options here with some basic stats. They are in order of price
FFGEEK TEAM TRANSFERS
I’ve got to Wednesday evening before the first EFL semi and Liverpool and Southampton are locked out. After that it’s Hull v Man Utd after which both those teams will be locked out.
I’m not sure of the transfers at the moment but will tweet and facebook them when done
