Is Richarlison or Gylfi Sigurdsson better FPL value at £8.0m?

999 Comments
Share

The release of the Fantasy Premier League price list has seen Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson both priced up as £8.0m midfielders.

Everton sit top of our Season Ticker for the first ten Gameweeks of the season and are the only Premier League side to avoid a ‘big six’ club in their opening half-dozen matches, so interest in the Toffees’ Fantasy assets will be keen.

Both Richarlison and Sigurdsson scored 13 top-flight goals last season and recorded their best-ever FPL points hauls.

Given that the Everton midfield duo can’t be separated by price, we will run a direct statistical comparison in the Members’ article below to weigh up the pros and cons of each asset.

As well as the usual goal threat and creativity comparisons, we’ll be assessing their record against ‘lesser’ sides (given Everton’s favourable run at the start of 2019/20) using our new Flat-Track Bully tool.

    Seriously wonder how many people who have DCL in their drafts will follow through and start the season with him.

      He was in my very first draft as an enabler but I very quickly realised I wouldn't be happy playing him every week and he's too expensive for a bench option.

      I'm on him because I like Bournemouth's attacking output and he is a cheaper version of Wilson.

      Side note, he has also outscored Rashford in every one of the last four seasons.

        Better to look at points per 90 mins IMO. Rashford is a good player, but if he isn't given the no.1 striker spot, he should put in a transfer request IMO. Unless he likes sitting on the bench and becoming a crap player (e.g. Welbeck).

    Chelsea have a serious lack of attackers registered in FPL as it stands. Just an aging trio of Willian, Pedro and Giroud. CHO and RLC injured. Who else do they have to come in, just Tammy and Pulisic?

    They don't rotate home and away, but with a £4.5m defender from Brighton and Newcastle, you can go the entire thirty-eight week season without facing a fixture higher than a three on the game's FDR, of which twenty-nine of the games are two out of five.

        Premium+fodder being 6m+4m surely, that's 1m more than 4.5m+4.5m. I agree though, not sure how great it will be. If I get any Newcastle defender it would be Ritchie and he's not getting benched often, but with those fixtures I wouldn't buy and play.

      Thanks. Uncertainty about managers and style of play makes me wonder if I want to rotate their defenders.

      Yet if there is nailed cheap Brighton mid and NEW defender, it might be worth considering. Dunk is the best 4.5 Brighton asset though?

    Salah / KDB / Siggy / Zaha / Maddie
    King

    Pros: Strong defence, strong midfield
    Cons: No bench at all aside from Elmo, no premium striker

      Price. With so much money at the back it's hard to find 8.0 for a Bournemouth attacker. I don't think anybody with King expects him to outscore Wilson but that 1.5 allows an extra Liverpool/Man City defender. Not saying nobody has a decent team with him in btw.

          While I do agree, I think your team could be so much better (as in well balanced) if were you willing to turn your Kane into a, say, Jamie Vardy.

          From a different perspective, I also think your team would be better if your Digne were Coleman, your Robbo a VVD, and you'd have Kun instead of Kane.

          But that's me

    King Deulofeu

    Subs: Button Dedoncker Hayden 4.5

    Thought of the following options

    A) Laporte + Hayden --> Zaha + Kelly
    B) Mendy + 4.5 --> Jota + Kely (worried about Mendy's game time)

    Any suggestions on how to improve this team is appreciated 🙂

      Mendy was amazing at the start of the last season, so i cant see him not starting this season, but this is Pep so could be completely wrong

    Why has no one hardly got Kane? Surely he is nailed on even though he struggles in August

      We like our forwards in the single digits. Saves money for the good players

      I've got Kane currently. Bargain @ 11m, too much to ignore.

    I am a Liverpool fan and because of the African cup exertions I’m not considering Salah or mane. Sterling should start and I think KDB might do well as well. Not sure between Mandy or zinch? Any views

        Thanks but Mendy is a better player especially going forward but probably a little injury prone. A lot of people are picking Mendy but like you I have gone for zinchenko

    Could Barkley be an option? Injuries to Loftus-Cheek and Hudson-Odoi, new manager and a complete lack of attacking options at Chelsea may give him the nod in behind a lone striker.
