The Big Numbers – Gameweek 17

While Sunday brought a rather tepid conclusion to the weekend’s action, the lack of incident allowed us more time to digest the numbers behind the Gameweek so far. In this latest foray into the depths of our members data, we offer further insight on the performances of Adel Taarabt, Raheem Sterling and David Silva not only for this weekend, but the last four Gameweeks and season so far. As for Glen Johnson, well, we’ll let the numbers do the talking…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Fellaini to Silva for me this week. Need to release funds so should I do:
    A: Ba to Naismith (he could play in the hole for the games Fellaini is suspended)
    Or
    B: Ba to Long
    Would leave me with:
    Begovic
    Mertesacker Enrique Clark
    Taarabt Caz Gerrard Silva Michu
    Rooney Suarez
    (Tremmel Naismith/Long Clyne Gorkss)

    Fellaini ➡ Young?
    1) 3 assists in last 3.
    2) Looking like getting regular starts and better mins (which should maintain now given point 1)
    3) Differential (1.6% ownership)
    4) Has a couple of decent strikers to aim at
    5) swa, NEW, WBA, wig, LIV, tot, SOT

    Which gets your vote?

    A) Fellaini -> Yaya
    B) Fellaini -> Puncheon/Sterling (leaves enough for Sess -> any midfielder I want next week)
    C) Fellaini -> Nolan (leaves enough for Sess -> Michu next week)
    D) Fellaini & Sess -> Puncheon/Sterling & Mata/Bale (4 point hit)

          You already have Silva, so I see no need on getting in Yaya, tbh. And if I were you, I'd want to get in Bale next week. It's a tricky one though, as I agree, Yaya could definitely score well over the next few weeks.....

      Would be tempted to spread the transfers over two weeks, with Mata the last to change as unclear what Benitez will do with rotating the mids. Demels fixtures pick up in the new year, but I'd be tempted for Fonte or Clyne til the WC as they have a good chance of better attacking returns for the same dosh

      Thanks for the advice. Mata & Bale looking most likely, though will have to make transfer before Fellaini drops tonight -/ Leaves me a bit exposed to Benitiez's rotation whims

      Bale will eventually come in, but probably not until he gets his 5th yellow for diving. I dunno why he hasn't dropped, again, but as soon as he is unflagged he is price protected for 8 days so his price ain't going anywhere upwards for a good while

          It depends on casuals, they usually make their transfers from Thursday. His transfers out rate is slow atm but they could increase suddenly from Thursday. Better to check FISO everyday before prices change

    this Ashley Young shout is an interesting one.
    Questions:
    1) Will he start most games. Nani? Kagawa?
    2) Is 3 United (have RVP, Rafael) too many
    3) He's not on corner / free kick duty is he. Seem to have RVP and Rooney dominating these in the back of my mind....

      I reckon Young will get less gametime when Kagawa is back. Nani probably will not play for United again.

    Narrowed down my Fellaini replacements(8.1 million) to
    A) Yaya Toure
    B) Puncheon

    think yaya will do ok ovr the next 4 weeks and will then get rid in the WC and i dont really need the money. I sold puncheon for michu last week( 🙁 ) but i think he's gr8 value and will benefit my Jan WC team greatly at his price.. Dont need the money till the Jan WC though. which one to go for.

      Considering Puncheon as I can't afford big hitters like Bale and Mata without doing a hit.

      Look at your remain 4 defenders, check which GW you will need Nelsen or Davies to play, and in those GWs, who has better fixtures, get him

        yep.

        Aguero never floated my boat.
        Silva still an enigma for me.
        only DEF was a toss up between Zab and Nasty.

            Well if he will be a doubt all this week to, he definitely won't rise in price so we don't have to rush to get him in with a hit.

            Doing Fellaini to Puncheon and hope Bale will fall 0,2 next week so I can get him in for Sterling, if not for Walcott.

              Oobs, meant Bale as a doubt, Silva is already in my team and will score great next GW 🙂
