Areola, the French GK, is BY FAR the MOST  Popular Goalkeeper in FPL 23/24 till now with an OWNERSHIP of 36.1%. He had to face Hard opponents in first 9 matches. But the Time is NOW for him with a KIND fixtures to come. We are owning him already. Why don’t we go for another DEFenders now?

Let’s see the fixtures first :

Here, we can see that he has 4 Home & Away matches each in NEXT 8 matches. But among them, ONLY Tottenham is among the Attacking opponents and they are the Current Leaders. There are 2 Opponents who can get the Cleansheets Away anytime, namely Tottenaham and Brentford, with averaging Almost 2 Goals per match in their Home matches. I feel like that ONLY Wolves can Score against the Hammers. There is good possibility of having 5 CS in these matches.

Now, have a look at the Returns of their defenders apart from CS in last 5 matches :

Here we can see that their Full Backs are likely to give Assists. Coufal has given performed WAY Higher that xAssits while Emerson gave 1 only. But with Soucek suddenly playing a bit Advanced role, there is a good chances of having assists from them.

Both of their Center Backs have scored 1 Goal till now. Aguerd is being more likely to score than Zouma.

Ques 1 – “Am I going for a 2nd defence option from a team who has ONLY 1 CS so far?”

Ans – “Yes. But I will do it in GW12. I don’t think that Spurs will keep CS against Wolves. So, I will transfer Porro Out. Another reason is that I am UNWILLNG to play West Ham defence in Brentford Home and I don’t want to play Double Defence against Arsenal in GW11.”

Ques 2 – “Whom am I aiming for?”

Ans – “It’s either Coufal or Aguerd. It can be Aguerd most likely. The reason is that he is very dangerous during the set-pieces. Besides, he will be a Differential pick and probably Coufal is popular among top 100k.. I will monitor them in next 2 matches.” 

Ques3 – “What should I do if I have NO Dilemma like this?”

Ans – “The answer is quite simple. Just Double Up West Ham defence”
