fantasy premier league – the bandwagons and sinking ships game week 16

Fantasy Premier League

Lets see who’s the most transferred in and out in fantasy premier league so far this week

Transferred in

Michu

Hardly a surprise, 2 goals away to Arsenal. Top of the shooting stats for midfielders for the last 6 games despite having one of the most difficult schedules it’s maybe time to acknowledge that he is fixture proof which is some statement for someone who’s £7.7m.  His record in the last 6 is 2,2 9, 3, 8,16 .  His next games are

08 Dec 15:00Gameweek 16Norwich (H)
16 Dec 13:30Gameweek 17Tottenham (A)
23 Dec 13:30Gameweek 18Man Utd (H)
26 Dec 15:00Gameweek 19Reading (A)
29 Dec 15:00Gameweek 20Fulham (A)
01 Jan 15:00Gameweek 21Aston Villa (H)

I’ve rated this 7 in the fixture ease schedule.  He’s a definite BUY

Defoe 

He’s my type of forward, always shooting.  The only drawback is that technically Adebayor should fit in to the AVB one man up system far better.  However its hard to see how Defoe can be shifted.  Not in the last 6 shooting stats because of lack of games played but in 6th in the season shooting stats despite not playing every game.  Its hard to see with recent form how he can be shifted by Adebayor.  With Bale injured he becomes an alternative option at a much cheaper costs for Spurs attacking exposure.   Spurs are 5th on the next 6 game fixture ease schedule.  He’s a BUY

Fletcher

Despite an injury scare nearly 20k people have transferred him in for Sunderlands 2 games anyway.  I’m not a fan as he just doesn’t shoot enough combined with the fact that he’s in a fairly goal shy team.  Add that to the scarcity of places up front and the fact that he’s injured then its a no for me.  If I was looking for a Sunderland player it would probably be Sessegnon.  Its an IGNORE for me

Transferred out

Suarez

Really? A one game suspension and he leads this category.  Top of the shooting stats for the season and the last 6, plus with Liverpool having one of the best fixture schedules this is not the time to sell for me even if he hasnt returned in his last 3.  Its a HOLD

Hazard

Not in the last 6 shooting stats for mids and a pretty insipid game on the weekend to boot. Here’s his last 6 returns 2 2 7 3 3 2.  Chelsea are also 16th on the fixture ease schdeule with Sunderland A next then a week without a game.  Hardly what you’re looking for when he’s taking £9.8m of your budget.  Its a SELL for me

Bale

This one I have sympathy for, especially if you own Suarez as well, as you would be going in to GW 16 without 2 main line threats.  AVB’s 1 to 2 weeks seems unlikely for me and as there probably isn’t much difference on the sell and buy back price then its a SELL for me

Hope that gives some food for thought.
