STAT DEFINITIONS
I’ve firstly ordered the teams by what I think is their defensive strength based on this season’s stats. The stats after that are their:
fixture ease ranking so you can see who has the best fixtures over a 6 gameweek spell. See our fixture ease article
best cheap secure gametime option and an attacking option so you can compare price.
even potentially cheaper player who needs further explanation which is below the schedule
GK price in as a comparison.
bookies odds for a clean sheet for GW24.
Expected goal information is from the excellent free site understat.com.
THE SCHEDULE
Here’s the schedule in it’s normal format with the additional xGA conceded home and away rankings. It maybe difficult to make out especially on a phone so if you’d rather have access to the original google spreadsheet click on the link. It should be set up so anyone can view but not alter. So just copy and paste it into your own spreadsheet if you want to mess about with it
THE VALUE RISK CLARIFICATIONS
Liverpool
There is value under £5m in the full back position but Alexander Arnold and Gomez seem to be in an RB job share. Robertson had the LB position since Moreno went off injured and has performed well. With Moreno approaching fitness it’s uncertain what will happen there. Van Dijk, therefore, seems the best option unless someone nails either full back position. The GK position is supposedly Karius’s now at £4.8m but until the window closes certainty is difficult.
Man City
With Delph injured with no return date, Danilo has a chance to get a run at the LB position. Whether you think it’s worth the £0.4m saved over Stones is another issue.
Spurs
Davies seems to have some certainty in the LB position with Rose injured. In theory he’s back fairly soon but it depends how reliable you think that information is
PLAYER SUGGESTIONS FOR A GW24 TRANSFER IN
Were looking for good defences with GW24 being a good entry point and good fixtures onward as an ideal. All premiums this week
Chelsea – £7.3m Alonso if I was transferring in now
Man Utd – £5.7m Jones
Man City – Stones is probably the middle ground choice of attack, value and gametime risk.
Liverpool – Van Dijk . Liverpool a good run if you can handle £5.5m for a Liverpool defender
