The Numbers Game – Budget Midfielders

2,955 Comments
Share

Starting the season priced at just 4.5 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Raheem Sterling quickly cemented his place in many a five man midfield thanks to a consistency of game time under new Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers. Handed a first-team chance in Gameweek 2, the winger rose steadily in price to 5.7 as the bandwagon showed little sign of slowing down but a run of 16 consecutive starts was brought to an end in Gameweek 18, with Rodgers citing signs of fatigue in the youngster’s play:

With the arrival of Daniel Sturridge added to Fabio Borini’s return from injury, the attacking options are increasing for the Merseysiders – having started just three of the last six, Sterling’s owners are starting to get twitchy. He’s now dropped in price to 5.5 but, with a 17% ownership, remains the most popular sub 6.0 midfield option in the FPL game at present. As winter wildcards continue to be flourished, we take a look at the upcoming six Gameweeks and, in accordance with our Rate My Team projections, analyse the likely protagonists for those Fantasy managers eyeing up a potential transfer out…

    Just did a quick calculation.

    Frank Lampard on average scores a point for every 11 minutes he's played.
    Juan Mata on average scores a point for every 11.5 minutes he's played.

    If Fat Frank can keep his start he's a viable alternative and 1.6mil cheaper.

    WC team, have a look
    Mig, Fed
    Shaw, Azpi, Zabaleta, Davies, Demel
    Michu, Walcott, Puncheon, Gerrard, Pienaar
    RVP, Ba, Lambert

    Azpi or Evans?
    Shaw or Harte?
    Gerrard a good move?
    anything else looking out of place?

      That midfield looks VERY WEAK!! Ba and Lambert? Azpi is not nailed on now Terry is back (although I think he's pretty safe...possibly!!).

      Demel should go if you are on WC

        Ba may be rotated but i see points out of him, and lambert brings them in as well and is 0.6m cheaper than Fletch

        who for azpi do you reckon then?

          Azpi is fine, Ba is your big rotation concern. Don't see the point in risking him when there are so many value strikers that will play 90 minutes.

        Azpi is about as nailed on as you will get for a £5.7m Chelsea defender. Rafa has had plenty of opportunities to move Ivan over to RB with Luiz, Cahill and Ivan fit previously.

          I see Ivanovic Luiz Terry Cole rolled out before the end of the season......and in the league that is.

          You are pretty well correct though pal, but Azpi is by no means 'nailed on'.

            There are no players that will play every game but Azpi will start 95% and you won't get better value than that. He looks very comfortable at right-back.

      Prefer Azpi to Evans. I've seen no evidence to suggest he's not nailed on, as many here have been saying since october. Terry's been fit and on the bench for weeks. Benitez tactfully said he wasnt fit (read good) enough to start and he hasn't.

      Prefer Clyne to both Shaw and Harte. Has more attacking threat (and points to show) and less chance of being dropped. Has also filedl in as a winger in a pinch.

      Gerrard to Lampard Pinaar to Fellers possible?

          Punch Lambert and Shaw though? I was there once. Didn't like it much. Reckon you need a rotaion with Southampton.

      I would recommend you settle on a team after the WC and try to limit the amount of hits you're taking, though, as they could slow your progress, since it gets harder to make up ground the further up the rankings you get...

        See last part above 🙁

        I suppose you could answer my United player question. I only have RVP and cant afford Evra, don't want to double with Rooney and RVP, and don't see Nani or Valencia as options either. I've had Rafael and now I worry about him being rotated.

        Cleverley, Carrick, Smalling, Jones and De Gea are all on my radar, and i'd like to get one of them at least. They have fixtures, they have form, and they have that whole end of season, post Xmas rise in tempo etc. etc.

        Im way passed the City/United line, since this IS fantasy footy.

        Cheers Zep

          Yes, you can't ignore Utd (read that as RVP) if you want to do well in FPL...

          I have actually thought about Carrick/Cleverly before as a cheap mid, but although they are great players, their prices are just a little bit inflated for what they actually give you in FPL...

          Much better value to be had elsewhere...

          IMO the best value right now in Utd is DDG, always seems to be guaranteed save points, I don't think I've ever seen a Utd keeper having to make so many saves... would only cost you another 0.4m to make that switch? (I think since Vorm is 5.1?)

          Other than that, though, we are really hoping that Nani/Valencia make a late season return to the team/return to form... If one of them is looking like getting starts, then I might take a chance there...

            Personally...being a Blue...I hope none of them return, and half of their teammates join them in their current predicaments :).

            I agree with everything you have said though mate. I will look into DDG over Vorm, and have been already in fact. Don't you think Vorm holds Value now? I already lost .4 on him by keeping him around and bringing him back in at 5.1 again recently as my starting keeper. Mig and Beg were too high, and owned by too many and I figured Vorm would return to form soon enough, adds well with Davies, AND is a save magnet and clean sheets with their form.

          I would like De Gea but have big concerns over rotation around the Real Madrid games which could prove costly (and then any potential future CL games). And I won't want my back-up keeper playing often.

      Great back 3 that. I have Gibbs and Davies (and although Gibbs let me down during the DGW, he looked dangerous and is one of the most exciting FPL prospect full backs in the game), and am trying to somehow find the money to upgrade the third spot to a Rafael....Zaba.... Jones etc.

      Our teams are identical besides Baines and Ba for right now.

      Many people are going 3-5-2 with the P5 and Suarez/Aguero/Fletcher to partner RVP. The exact same people (myself included), are toying with a third striker though. The midfield options far outway the striker certainties.....so....for now the 3-5-2 stays!

          I would do Fletcher to Suarez in two weeks by downgrading Baines. 🙂

      Hmm that strike force is a little too weak... I'm not convinced Fletcher will continue to score as well as you'd like...

      I'n you case, with a slightly lower team value, I think you can get a stronger better value team with a 3-4-3...

      If you're going 3-5-2, you really need the second striker to be of a Suarez/Aguero quality.. but that's just my opinion, it's not compulsory...

      You still have a good team... maybe you would consider downgrading Baines to upgrade Fletcher - if not now then after Evertons next 2 good fixtures?

          I am not sure I can justify Aguero either despite really needing him as my big differential. Ultimately I can have Baines or Kun, and Everton fixtures are too tasty for the next few weeks to ignore. City fixtures are quite tough and they are yet to show signs of exploding.

          Cuellar, Demel, Harte, Turner, Hughes, Dawson. Whole host of ubers to choose from. Aguero's returns will more than cover what you'd get with exp defs.

        I think this is a tough choice...

        You need at least one big hitter in defense IMO... but you would also get more points with Aguero in there...

        Zaba/Azpi will return the odd assist along with a steady stream of CS, can Aguero really outscore Fletcher by enough points to offset the swapping of said big hitters to uber defenders?

        I don't think so tbh...

          Fletcher (and Sunderland) just typify inconsistent to me though. Could easily see them not scoring v Swansea and Reading. Fancy Sturridge more even with tougher games. Liverpool score in most matches regardless of opponent nowadays.

          tough one for sure, is Aguero going to play 70mins plus every game not till the end of the season? at his price, you'd want him not to get rotated.. i suspect he will be as he has been injured previously.. i could be wrong though.

          bascially it's Azpil/Zabs/Fletcher vs Gunter/Pearce/Aguero... hmm

      Guthrie Aguero seems okay since it's the template and all. Rafael is good but keep an eye on Zabaleta as well. City and MU got decent fixture and monitor their defense performance.

      I like the 2nd one as I'm cosndering them as well but if you're getting Dawson, I would do it in the short term as Gallas is coming back from injury and their short term fixture are the ones you would want a Tottenham defense.

      In terms of current team well it seems solid. I know you've kept Wilson for a while now. If you do the Aguero move your front 3 will be deadly as you've already mentioned as well.
