Here’s my fantasy premier league team if I was using my wildcard now. It’s a practical application of my “one to watch article”
- Ruddy
- £4.7
- Reasonable home and away rotation with stoke and fewer and fewer options in the budget section. The Norwich defence again showed is mettle against Man u
- Begovic
- £5.1
- They’ve had the golden period of fixtures but they’re still the best defence outside the elite teams
- Caulker
- £4.8
- Budget version of the Spurs defence. Good attacking stats as well. Fixtures are mixed though.
- Wisdom
- £4.5
- Great value for a player in the 2nd best defence with the 3rd best fixtures. Worth the game time risk
- Rafael
- £6.4
- Fixtures are great but the game time risk increases as Smalling and Jones return. Has good attacking potential. Now so expensive that I said I wouldn’t buy in the “ones to watch” article but here I am. Fixtures are amazing
- Cuellar
- £4.5
- I wouldn’t count on him scoring again this season but Sunderland have potential to get clean sheets at home ad 2 games in GW16. Add to that good fixtures generally and its time to buy as a rotation
- Shorey
- £4.1
- Alternative option as a rotation filler to Gorkss at virtually the same price. Takes free kicks so has some assist potential
- Fellaini
- £7.4
- Top of the shooting stats although has had a couple of quiet games which have seen him drop a little in he last 6 table the fact that hes relatively cheap and with Nolan so far ahead in the shooting stats it seems worth holding to see how he copes when the fixtures drop off.
- Bale
- £9.6
- Has managed to hold his own in shooting stats despite difficult fixtures.
- Michu
- £7.3
- Same comments as Bale.
- Santi Cazorla
- £9.4
- The goal and assist and the 3 bonus points didnt mask what was an ordinary stat performance. The fixtures are too good to sell and with Walcott injured there’s no other midfield option so its still a hold for me.
- Sterling
- £5.5
- Place seems assured. An attacking midfielder for Liverpool at this price with these fixtures is great value.
- Van Persie
- £13.3
- The only really reliable coverage for the Utd team at the moment with the midfield rotation and Rooney dropping deeper. Underlying stats aren’t as good as last year but is finishing off chances when they come. Game against Norwich though shows how vital Rooney is for him. Fixtures are now fantastic
- Suarez
- £10.3
- Great fixtures. Miles ahead of everyone in the shooting stats and now seems to have turned it in to goals. Next 2 fixtures are Swa A and Spurs A which gives scope to defer a transfer. I’m personally buying this weekend
Ba £8.3m
How he didnt get a hat trick against Swansea is beyond me. Great stats and good fixtures as follows
South A
Stoke H
Wigan H
Ful A
