Chief's #FPL Team - Gameweek 14

Latest Rank: 23,234

  di Maria/Costa* OUT / Cazorla/Aguero** IN

-4 HIT

New Bank Balance: £0.0M 

*If I didn't sell them, my team would have been fairly hollow for GW14.  Besides, I already have MUFC & CFC coverage at hand.

**Both players have a good run of upcoming games, have shown form of late and possess attacking prowess.

Why did I buy Santi?

 

2nd best "Shots on target" of any midfielder since 22/11/14.

 3rd best "Final Third Passes" of any midfielder this season.

4th best "Shots on goal" of any midfielder this season.

8th best "ALI*" rating of any midfielder this season.

Scored 8 points in GW13 (assist & 2 Bonus pts).

*ALI rating is based on Asliga's Index for potency.

 

Why did I buy/captain Aguero?

Aguero is City's best FPL points scorer by far:

Aguero has scored almost half of City's total goals:

Aguero has been scoring a goal every 80.9 mins in 14/15.

He has gained "Fantasy Returns" in 9 games this season.

City need to catch up to Chelsea and Aguero's output is key.

NO TRANSFERS

I had Ozil. I had Ramsey. I had Rooney. I captained Aguero... and he had a paltry 1 point game!  GW13 started stupendously for me when my Arsenal contingent bagged me lots of points.  Alas, all that was missing was the cherry on the cake - captain's innings - but it wasn't to be and my sub3 was R Bennett who bagged 8 points.  Despite my team scoring 65 points on average during the last 6 Gameweeks, I am far from content.  I have yet to experience the "perfect" GW this season (captaining the highest points scorer + the rest of team doing fantastic).  I guess it is something still to aim for.  Getting a ton would be nice too.

As you all should know by now, GW14 is starting on Tuesday to accommodate for the annual Premier League fixture jam.  I was tempted to tinker with my team.  But it seems fine on paper and I wouldn't mind the free transfer for the GWs ahead.  I think a lot of the regular FPL popular picks won't play a full match in GW14.  As a result, it's best not take any transfer hits for such an unpredictable Gameweek.  I have decided to captain Suarez, despite him firing blanks on Sunday (+ no Sturridge).  Liverpool need a win against Norwich to stay in contention as title challengers.  Suarez as the sole goal threat is surely a favourite to score.  Then again, the Aguero fail on Sunday doesn't bode well for me, but I will take my chances.  I just hope Townsend doesn't bite me from the bench!

Fantasy Football Hints - Gameweek 14

 #REJECT (R):

John Ruddy (NOR)

Facing a Liverpool team that need a bounce-back win.

Norwich have conceded 16 goals on their travels from 6 games.

Ruddy has only kept 4 clean sheets this season - only 1 of which was away.

#PUNT (P):

Danny Welbeck (MNU)

Assisted a goal in his last Premier League outing.

With Van Persie not 100% fit he is very likely to be involved.

Despite shaky form, United are scoring 2 goals on average at home.

#HOTPICK (H):

Luis Suarez (LIV)

The Reds have a good 13/14 home record; scoring 2+ goals on average.

Suarez has scored 9 and assisted 4 from 8 Premier League games thus far.

Liverpool will be looking to catch up at the top after their shock defeat to Hull.
