FPL Blank Gameweek 29 – head-to-head comparisons: Stuart Dallas vs Matt Targett
We have our eye on two full-backs in this head-to-head, although Stuart Dallas (£5.1m) has spent more time recently playing in central midfield for a Leeds side forced to rejig their side due to a number of injuries over the past few weeks. Matt Targett (£5.1m) however, has played exclusively at left-back for Aston Villa, providing not just serious clean sheet potential for his FPL ownership, but also the threat of attacking returns through his crosses down the left-hand side.
Both players in action during Blank Gameweek 29, with Leeds away to Fulham and Aston Villa hosting Spurs at Villa Park. Neither fixture bodes well for the clean sheet prospect of either Dallas or Targett, with Leeds having conceded in their last six Premier League away matches and Aston Villa going up against a Spurs side who have scored ten goals in their last four league games. For that reason, we're making our decision based on the attacking points potential of the two. Dallas have registered eight attacking returns this season compared to Targett's three and the possibility of the Northern Irish international playing in central midfield is enough for us to tip this head-to-head in his favour.
Verdict: Stuart Dallas
