fantasy premier league – the captain conundrum & the alternatives to Man Utd and Man City

Fantasy premier league captains seemed so easy didn’t it? Have RVP/Rooney in your team and home and away rotate either of them with Aguero/Tevez who rotate perfectly due to policing reasons. Well for 3 out of the 6 game weeks those captains have failed to appear in the starting line up. Rooney a popular captain choice in GW2 didn’t appear and RVP home to Wigan didn’t either. Tevez also didn’t appear in GW5 at home to Arsenal.
So what is the answer? Do we need alternative captain options and if thats the case should we even be investing in RVP/Rooney/Aguero/Tevez

fantasy premier league game week 4 analysis

I’m essentially going to concentrate on the shooting stats for the last 6 fantasy premier league games (or 4 in this case) and the last game week. I’ll do this in a division between Strikers and Midfield. This will give you a good idea of who’s got the best underlying stats in the shooting area. Although I think these stats are very secondary to shooting, as an additional bit of info I will give the best chances created in the last 6 (again 4 in this case).

Anyone who watched the Arsenal v Liverpool and knew the next game was home to saints will understand why 95,000 people net transferred in Cazorla for this game week.

Bargains or disasters. We look at the biggest price falls of Oscar, Mata, Sturridge, Aguero, Ramires and Moses.

I’ve been covering the price rises and falls for fantasy premier league managers with alot of emphasis on the rises and falls from a negative point of view. This post flips it on its head and looks to see if we should be seeing whether the price falls are an opportunity to pick up players on the cheap. Or have they been sold for a reason and a good one at that. We look at the biggest price falls of Oscar, Mata, Sturridge, Aguero, Ramires and Moses. Hmmm anyone detect a Chelsea based theme here…..

Here's the replication of my article for sky sports for the telegraph fantasy football format. I'm going to repeat parts of that article in order to set the scene for Telegraph Fantasy Football managers who didn't read the sky Sports article. As I said with quality over all the premier league this season and the likes of Rooney and Aguero looking near must haves in our Telegraph Fantasy Football team, finding value elsewhere is going to be essential. Here's the first of a series of articles identifying value in a player (ie a potential bargain) after looking through all teams in the Telegraph Fantasy Football format.

Fantasy premier league pre-season weekend review 14/7/2012

Here's a review of the weekends friendlies for you fantasy premier league managers. Just to remind you heres the games:

Fantasy premier league goalkeeper strategy advice and tips for all formats of the game

What's the best way of approaching the choice of goal keeper for your fantasy premier league team.. What type of team should the goal keeper play for and how much money should I spend are questions often asked by fantasy premier league managers. I'll help solve these questions and give you some choices for this year. This article will split the analysis in to 2 halves. Firstly the single goal keeping format of the Sky Sports and Telegraph fantasy football formats and then the 2 goal keeper format of the barclays fantasy premier league and facebook fantasy premier league. It will also give you some hints on who to choose this year.

Sky sports and Telegraph fantasy football

In these formats were only talking about having 1 goal keeper with no substitutes. Neither have points for saves and both see reductions in points for goals conceded. I can sum up my advice here fairly simply for those who want to move on

PICK JOE HART!

Heres the reasons:

1. One goalkeeping choice means you need to pick the best

With no save points and points deducted for goals conceded you need to pick the keeper of the best defence. Otherwise you will suffer badly. Having only 1 goalkeeping choice also means there is no where to hide for those games away to Arsenal or United for your cheaper goal keeping option.

2. City have the best defence.

Ok they had 17 clean sheets compared to Man Utds 19 but in all other stats City are the winners. No other team comes close to these 2 in defensive terms either in clean sheets or goals conceded. I expect City to out perform United on clean sheets this year even with Vidic back at some stage. There is no difference in Euro fatigue and City have better defensive midfielder protection (do Utd have any without Darren Fletcher?) plus a better goalkeeper.

3. De Gea's position isn't safe.

I'm not just talking about SAFs annoying rotation habit when you're at home to Wigan either. Lets not forget if Lindegaard hadn't got injured he may have established himself as the number 1 goal keeping choice. If you're a fantasy premier league manager playing the Telegraph format also remember that Hart is less likely to be rotated for FA cup games than De Gea.

4. The value difference is minimal

In the Sky format here's how the top 4 most expensive keepers line up:

Hart - £6.0m
De Gea - £5.9m
Cech £5.8m
Szczesny £5.7m

With those negligible differences fantasy premier league managers should buy Joe Hart. By the way at the moment he is owned by 38.5% of fantasy premier league managers compared to De Gea who is owned by 6.15%.

Its a carbon copy story in the Telegraph format:

Hart - £4.0m
De Gea - £3.9m
Cech £3.8m
Szczesny £3.7m

Again at the moment Hart is owned by 34.2% of fantasy premier league managers compared to De Gea who is owned by 6.3%.

So then Joe Hart it is

Barclays and Facebook format

There are essentially 2 fantasy premier league choices here. Pick and expensive option with the cheapest possible backup or rotate 2 cheap keepers home and away. In my strategy piece 23 rules

http://www.fantasyfootballgeek.co.uk/fantasy-football-strategy-how-to-play-23-rules/

I used the example of Joe Hart and another getting 166 points at a cost of £11m in the Barclays fantasy premier league format vs a rotation of Krul and Vorm with a Newcastle bias in conflict giving 180 points at a cost of £8.5m.

This was probably an unfair comparison as Newcastle and Swansea had exceptional home form which bolstered these stats. If you had rotated Blackburn and Bolton during the season you would have ended up with a grand total of 6 clean sheets if you were lucky. Conversely, if you had banked on Cech as you're big hitter you would have seen a miserly 10 clean sheets.

If you believe that the best option is going for one elite keeper only then I would stick with Joe Hart. If its possible to find a back up that plays at the minimum price then I would go for that as a back up rather than just pick anyone. Don't go for Joe Harts back up at City as that will reduce the places you have in your fantasy premier league team for other City places as there's a limit in both formats to 3 players from each team.

However on balance I don't see the value in spending a lot on keepers and my intention as a fantasy premier league manager is to go for the rotation

Rotation options

The idea here is to pick teams that fit together home and away. Certain teams have to rotate home and away for police security reasons. These are fairly obvious but are

Man City and Man Utd

Arsenal and Spurs

Chelsea and Fulham

Liverpool and Everton

Newcastle and Sunderland

QPR and Chelsea

Aston Villa and WBA

There are only 2 options here that are realistic for cheap rotation in fantasy premier league

Aston Villa and WBA

Newcastle and Sunderland ( I think this may be too an expensive an option this year though due to Newcastle and Kruls form from last year)

Using these teams are the easiest way for fantasy premier league managers to deal with this cheap rotation option.

While the fantasy premier league site is not open yet , in looking for other rotations for fantasy premier league managers to consider I have scoured the fixture list for the following teams that I think will give cheap options. These are:

Aston Villa

Fulham

Norwich

QPR

Reading

Southampton

Sunderland

Swansea

WBA

West Ham

Wigan

I have considered the rotation possibilities up to round 20 where it will be getting close to the January Wildcard in fantasy premier league.

Here are some of the best fits

QPR and Southampton

Fits for all games. I have reasonably high hopes for the QPR defence this year I think they didn't get the clean sheets that there stats deserved last year. Robert Green should give some save points but may not be as cheap as some fantasy premier league managers would like.

Reading and Swansea

Again fits perfectly. The best defensive team in the championship by far, combined with Swansea who had one of the best home defences. Only problem is the price of Vorm and the loss of Caulker and Brendan Rodgers organisation

WBA and Villa

Perfect fit but Lamberts attacking philosophy and Fosters price may not make this worth it

Norwich and Wigan

Interesting one this and will be full of potential value for fantasy premier league managers willing to take a punt. Will Hughton improve Norwichs poor defensive record of last year and will Wigans improvement at the end last year continue.

Here are some near perfect fits apart from a 2 or 3 of games in the first 20

QPR and Wigan

Again this would be a gamble on 2 potentially improving teams by fantasy premier league managers. QPR's purchase of Green and Wigans end of season form. Al Habsi is always good for save points as a fall back

Aston Villa and West Ham

Fantasy premier league managers will still have to believe that Lambert can improve on his 3 clean sheets of last year with Norwich to go for this option. West ham were the worst of the 3 teams defensively last year.

Fulham and Wigan

I don't see too much here unless Schwarzer has a massive price drop

Unfortunately no clear rotating winning option here for fantasy premier league managers so we will reconvene when the values are out for both formats

FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE NEW BOYS - READING FC

We all know the premier league sides and their players and don't need to much preseason to educate us fantasy premier league managers. However, lets be honest, the Championship is really for those Friday nights when the missus wants to watch Coronation St and anything is looking better on the 14 inch TV in the spare room. That's not my girlfriend by the way, a good night in for her is Stoke v Fulham on the TV. Yes I'm very lucky.

SKY SPORTS FANTASY FOOTBALL - SITE OPEN - SUMMARY AND KEY POINTS

Sky Sports are the first fantasy premier league site to open. That can only be good as it will mean more bargain hunting potential. I haven't done it before but it seems a broadly straightforward. It has the following key fantasy premier league points to using the Barclay fantasy premier league site as the precedent:

EUROPA AND FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE CONGESTION IN GAMEWEEK 1 FOR NEWCASTLE

Sky sports report that Newcastle will have to play as scheduled their 2nd premier league game of the season away to Chelsea, of all places only 2 days after playing the 1st leg of their Europa qualifier on the preceding Thursday night. The Daily Mail have subsequently reported that the tie can be moved if Newcastles opponents agree (although why they would remains a mystery?). The draw isn't made until 10 August.
