Gameweek 15 Rankings

-
I've decided to start posting these rankings as soon as possible each week to help everyone with transfer as well as lineup decisions. I can then follow up later in the week with injury news etc. Therefore I will include players on the assumption they will play unless they are definately out through long term injury or suspension.

Clean Sheet Rankings
  1. Tottenham
  2. Man Utd
  3. West Ham
  4. Aston Villa
  5. Arsenal
  6. Everton
  7. Wigan
  8. Man City
  9. Bolton
  10. Fulham
  11. Wolves
  12. Chelsea
  13. Sunderland
  14. Stoke
  15. Newcastle
  16. Birmingham
  17. Liverpool
  18. West Brom
  19. Blackburn
  20. Blackpool
Attacking rankings

  10. Sunderland
  11. Birmingham
  12. Blackpool

Captain Stats
  1. Rafael van der Vaart - Averaging 9.4 PPG at home and 9.5 PPG against opponents who concede between 1 and 1.5 GPG. The form player in the league and close to must own right now.
  2. Nani - Averaging 8.67 PPG at home and 9.75 PPG against opponents averaging more than 1.5 GPG. His great form should continue.
  3. Carlos Tevez - Great at home (8.5 PPG) and against mid level opponents (7.17 PPG). The best premium striker by some distance at the moment.
  4. Didier Drogba - Only scoring 5 PPG away from Stamford Bridge and 5.67 PPG against mid level opponents. A solid but unspectacular play again this week.
  5. Fernando Torres - Putting 6.33 PPG on tough opponents but has been brutal away from home (3.14 PPG). A huge risk this week.
  6. Florent Malouda - Terrible away from home (3.29 PPG) and only okay against mid level opponents. Does not deserve serious fantasy consideration at the moment.

THanks for getting it up early this week.

My dilemma for the week is which two to play out of Toure, Carroll, Adam and Etherington. Right now I've got Toure and Carroll in with Adam as my first sub. I don't expect much of anything from any of them this week.

Does anyone know whats going on with Elmohamady?

He has only played 1 min and 6 min in the last 2 weeks but does not show as an injured.

Also many thanks for a great site it helps a great deal

Andrew - Of those four I would rank them:

Toure (assuming you mean Kolo)
Caroll
Etherington
Adam

I think City are a good play this week as mancini will play it safe no doubt. The other three look risky so I would play the best player and that's Carroll. He's already scored against Arsenal and Villa so he can hang with the big boys and with Terry out and Alex hobbled Chelsea at home doesn't look too terrifying these days.

Wombat - Elmo's problem is that Bruce has moved to a 4-4-2 with Gyan, Bent and even Wellbeck in good form. You then have Henderson, Malbranque, Zenden, and Richardson all capable of playing wide so Elmo has serious competition on the flanks.

The real killer for Elmo owners is that Bruce seems to like bringing him on as a sub, hence you dare not start him as your sub might not get in the game if Elmo gives you 1 minute. Until further notice or a switch in tactics I think he needs to be sold now.

Hi, Chris!
Fabregas is out for 3 weeks, Elmo and Boateng are rotation risk. Is it time to use wildcard? If yes, then who is the best replacement of the 3?
I like City defense and i think Kolarov is the best option.
Also which goalkeeper pairing is the best for the future(until next wildcard)?
Thank you!

Is there a place online where I can check the teams that are pick and playing each week?

Pushing the Panic Button: Gameweek 15

Image
Powered by Tableau The above visualisation is going to form the centrepiece for a new regular post (probably bi-weekly) which is kind of the opposite of the fanning the flames piece. Rather than focus on players who did well this week, we're going to look at players who didn't, and particularly those who haven't for a number of weeks and identify whether, yes you guessed it, the panic button should be pushed. Before we get into specific players, a quick review of what the table above shows: Goals xG - This is the expected goals a player should  have scored in a given week based on the number of shots he took (inside/outside the box), his historic skill level regarding hitting the target and the league average rate of converting shots on target (SoT) to goals. This metric gives an overview of the chances a player is receiving, along with the quality of them and the way he is converting them. Pts - simply the points scored by the player over the last five g...

A brief update

-
Happy holidays everyone; it's been a while. For those not on Twitter, I was away in Costa Rica over the break without much - if any - internet access hence the lack of posts around these electronic pages. Well, actually, that's only the main reason, not the only one. In truth I've become a bit disillusioned with the fantasy game the past couple of months, partly due to my other commitments which make copying data at 2am somewhat less appealing, partly due to a lack of excitement in this year's game and finally due to the constant frustration I have with today's internet culture. This blog is a labour of love and aside from the small amount of money I made from the pre-season guide many of you graciously purchased, I don't get much out of this beyond the enjoyment of interacting with readers and hopefully helping a few of you to gain a couple of extra fantasy points every now and then. While some of that enjoyment remains, I feel it has waned over time and th...

Demba Ba and transfer planning

I try not to get involved in too much "will-he-won't-he" speculation in these pages with, for example, the weekly statistical rankings being provided regardless of rotation risk. I'm not saying, of course, that this shouldn't be a factor, only that I'm in no position to offer a worthwhile opinion, other than collating other news stories (which are often based on nonsense quotes from managers anyway). There are plenty of other sites who offer opinions on whether Tevez will play or if Vidic has recovered from injury but in almost all cases it's pure guess work and so I try and stay away from such discussions. With that in mind, my initial reaction to Ba's move was negative. I have no idea whether he will play every week at Chelsea, and while you'd think it would extremely odd for a player to leave a good team to go and ride the bench, other players have done the exact same thing before. All I therefore see is a player who has gone from being the e...
