The Big Numbers – Gameweek 22
Filed under: Members - Posted by: Mark
West Brom’s Romelu Lukaku heads up our ICT Index rankings after a weekend of football, with Wigan’s Franco Di Santo an unlikely name to keep Robin Van Persie company in our top three. Our members can investigate these standings in full, digesting all the data from the weekend’s action. Big Numbers makes a return to pick out our take on the key statistics on show, together with an array of trends that have emerged over the past four Gameweeks…

tw - season 2 of the leagues begins gw 20. congrats to the 18 new managers! says:
for this gw only:
pod or giroud?
lukaku or studge?
January 14 at 9:46 am
Gaz Downright says:
lukaku or studge
January 14 at 9:48 am
tw - season 2 of the leagues begins gw 20. congrats to the 18 new managers! says:
sorry i meant pick one out of pod/giroud and one out of lukaku/studge
January 14 at 9:50 am
Sammy says:
Giroud
Lukaku
January 14 at 9:50 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Pod and Lukaku
January 14 at 9:56 am
JUNITED says:
+1 more nailed on than Giroud
January 14 at 9:51 am
lfcserg says:
pod or giroud? watch the fa-cup replay then decide but id be keen on pod
Lukaku or Sturridge? I really dont know both look like exciting options
January 14 at 9:55 am
Gopher: good FPL season so far! says:
assess after Wed FA cup replay
probably lukaku
January 14 at 9:58 am
Marr says:
too close between lukaku an studge same dilemma my self.
pod, but i wouldnt get any
January 14 at 9:47 am
Di Canioooohhh says:
Afternoon all, I’ve got a tight H2H battle going on. Who will win you think?
Me: Mata(c), Ba and Luiz + 4pt lead
Him: Ba(c), Hazard and Lambert
Either way, looks like someone’s going to lose with over 80pts!
January 14 at 9:52 am
lfcserg says:
You’ll win
January 14 at 9:56 am
Di Canioooohhh says:
Yeah!!!
January 14 at 10:04 am
AvFcxJamie says:
You will win easily imo
January 14 at 9:47 am
HelloSidney says:
Moved into the top 1k for the first time ever! Sweet
January 14 at 9:51 am
Di Canioooohhh says:
Nice one, mate. I dream of the top 1k. Would love top 10k to be honest!
January 14 at 9:47 am
Jack(off)Attack says:
Just seen that Lukaku hit the post twice on Saturday as well…and Russell Martin hit it once too. That would have been some goal-scoring streak from Martin.
January 14 at 9:51 am
Ryan says:
For 4.1 Martin looks a great prospect. Hopefully Norwich find consistency in their defensive form.
January 14 at 9:52 am
rvp786 says:
he aint nailed on though
January 14 at 9:55 am
Ryan says:
Wasn’t he the captain in that game though?
January 14 at 10:12 am
Paz12 says:
Seems pretty nailed on to me – Norwich’s captain when Holt is injured!
January 14 at 10:01 am
JUNITED says:
Now now. You give me a headache again. Lukaku hit the post twice hmm…
January 14 at 10:03 am
JUNITED says:
I think I’m fall in love with Lukaku and im going to get him in my team.
Lukaku seems could get a hattrick or 2 goals next week.
January 14 at 9:49 am
lfcserg says:
I was originally thinking of doing Bale -> Walcott and take a hit to also do Cole -> Gibbs, however im now tempted to do lambert -> lukaku your thoughts…
January 14 at 9:52 am
rvp786 says:
wouldnt take out bale as its a waste of 2 precious transfers.
take out lambert instead
January 14 at 9:54 am
lfcserg says:
How else am I supposed to get in walcott?
January 14 at 9:54 am
rvp786 says:
post your team
January 14 at 9:54 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
I’d only consider it if I was playing my wildcard the week after
Lambert out looks the safer bet though
January 14 at 9:55 am
Ryan says:
Walcott is a must for the DGW. Like Mata from last week but without the threat of rotation.
January 14 at 9:49 am
dripsey3 says:
Morning All. Looking at Lescott for the next couple of games. I doubt Kompany’s appeal will be successful? Thoughts? He’d miss Fulham (H), QPR (A) and their FA Cup 4th Round game. Kolo Toure is away on African Nations Cup duty so Lescott is nailed on if Kompany is suspended.
January 14 at 9:50 am
ChristIna says:
WHen last have you seen tosey?
January 14 at 9:51 am
rvp786 says:
he was on friday/sat
January 14 at 9:51 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Pretty sure he made an appearance on Saturday
January 14 at 9:51 am
Fratboy says:
He’s on twitter all the time
January 14 at 9:52 am
Fernando Bubbles - No, I will not rate your team. Do go away. says:
Get yourself on twitter, Christina boy.
January 14 at 9:54 am
Sporting ABG says:
you on there Bubs?
January 14 at 9:56 am
ChristIna says:
Nelsen on your bench.
When will you learn?
January 14 at 9:59 am
Sporting ABG says:
i know. i was gutted to only get 78 points.
maybe he’ll return the same again next week when i play him.
January 14 at 10:00 am
Fernando Bubbles - No, I will not rate your team. Do go away. says:
As ‘Bubbles’, aye. Not ‘me’. Just fantasy football chatter. Yourself?
January 14 at 10:03 am
Sporting ABG says:
yeah, as me. not football chatter.
January 14 at 9:50 am
Toonzie says:
Should i do fellaini -> bale
luiz -> davies
Long term, team is linked
January 14 at 9:51 am
rvp786 says:
do the girl in your grav instead
January 14 at 9:52 am
rvp786 says:
and felliani has 3 amazing fixtures. wouldnt take him out
January 14 at 9:56 am
Toonzie says:
lolol alright i guess i’ll keep him for the moment, kinda screwed up my wc
brought in bardsley who didn’t feature against west ham
January 14 at 10:00 am
rvp786 says:
did u consult your wc team on here? if i saw it i would have told u dont go nowhere near bardsley
January 14 at 9:58 am
JUNITED says:
Fellaini is good.
stay your heart with afro
Keep Luiz and see what’s going on next week
January 14 at 9:50 am
encored says:
Can anyone tell me why the fantasy website is not working on my iPad, comp or phone. This is how it shows up
: http://t.co/KS3InkqI
January 14 at 9:51 am
Toonzie says:
i have this problem too mate
no idea why, but my mate told me it has to do with javascript security issues, so they had to limit some functions of it, tt’s why we are are getting the bugged page
January 14 at 9:54 am
encored says:
Been getting this for the last 3 days. Can’t even activate my wild card page due to this. Anyone else has a solution
January 14 at 9:55 am
Toonzie says:
try opera browser on your ipad/phone
it works for me
January 14 at 9:58 am
encored says:
Thanks mate. Downloading that now
January 14 at 9:52 am
Sammy says:
Working fine for me..
January 14 at 9:54 am
The Mata is CR7 is Hazardous to Messi says:
It works fine for me…
January 14 at 9:51 am
Grumpy Camel says:
Is this remy to Newcastle legit? What will he be worth? Cisse now a bigger risk? Too many questions.
January 14 at 9:52 am
Fratboy says:
Well BBC Sport ran the story as a confirmed fee agreed so yes, it is legit.
He’ll probably come in at 8.5 I think, possibly 9.0. He’s so good, think he’ll play brilliantly in the PL.
January 14 at 9:59 am
Scroobius Mac says:
Hasn’t scored a league goal this season.
January 14 at 9:53 am
Toonzie says:
nope, cisse will play thru middle in a 433 formation
most prob you will see anita,cabaye,jonas in midfield and hba(obertan/marvx),cisse,remy in attack
January 14 at 9:54 am
Toonzie says:
and tbh i won’t get him in my team if he’s playing the wide role (his natural position) so things might change, so it’s best to watch him play before you get him into your team
January 14 at 9:57 am
Grumpy Camel says:
Just got a soft spot because of FIFA. I’ll control the urge to get hi, for a while. Which GW would you anticipate he will be in the stripes?
January 14 at 10:00 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Could be as soon as against Reading. Our attacking options on the right don’t look good. And after Pardews comments after the implosion at Brighton, I wouldn’t be surprised
January 14 at 9:57 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Indeed, Remy plays very comfortably on the right of a 4-3-3, can also play as a supporting striker as well.
I don’t think he will be as high as 9m given his current form this season. I reckon between 7-8 myself.
Pretty much a done deal, although he hasn’t signed yet, it’s been confirmed he turned up at training for Marseille saying bye to all his team mates. Looks like he’s already made up his mind.
Looking forward to this one!
January 14 at 9:52 am
The Mata is CR7 is Hazardous to Messi says:
I have Sagna, Walcott and Demel already for DGW23… One FT available…
The only other person who I might be interested in is Cazorla… To get Cazorla in I have to transfer out Bale… I will not lose any money on Bale as I brought him at his current value and also have enough money in the bank to bring him back after the DGW even if he rises (which I hope not)…
But the concern is will Cazorla score more in 2 games than Bale against Man United… On paper it looks like YES, but you never know with Bale…
Also consider that I will captain Walcott and not Cazorla even if I do get him in…
My front 8 at the moment is
Bale Michu Fellaini Mata Walcott
Ba Berbatov RVP
What do you guys suggest?
January 14 at 9:55 am
harris says:
i personally thinking about giroud, he has to play more now he is not injured i think, so replace berba with giroud if u can afford it
January 14 at 9:57 am
The Mata is CR7 is Hazardous to Messi says:
Unfortunately I cannot… I can do Ba to Giroud… But I think Ba will score more than Giroud if he plays against Arsenal…
January 14 at 9:55 am
HelloSidney says:
Forget Cazolra IMO.
January 14 at 9:58 am
Michu Picchu says:
Berba/Ba (pending what happens tomorrow) —> Podolski / Giroud (pending what happens in their mid week game)
January 14 at 9:52 am
Spencer says:
Morning guys,
Still unsure about the next game week with regard to DGW players.
Doubting Podolski’s ability to get me some decent points.
A. Lambert -> Podolski
B. Shaw -> Sagna
C. Something else
Jussi
Demel – Luiz – Gibbs
Mata – Michu – Fellaini – Walcott
Ba – RVP – Fletcher
Federici – Ramirez – Davies – Shaw
2.4 in the bank
January 14 at 9:54 am
HelloSidney says:
Why does your team not have Lambert if you’re saying you might take hik out?
January 14 at 9:58 am
Fratboy says:
Fletcher/Lambert> Podolski and leave it imo. Shame you can’t play Davies, why did you get him over, let’s say, Mariappa/Pearce if you weren’t going to play him this game?
January 14 at 10:05 am
Spencer says:
Sorry guys.
Always seem to write Fletcher down when I mean Lambert.
Davies is in my squad for ages. Didn’t want to take him out as I’m lookin g to keep him in my team.
Thanks for your help!
January 14 at 9:53 am
ⓖⓐⓩⓩⓐ™ says:
Rmtfor this wk plz
Jasskerlainen
Gibbs demel.zabaleta
Bale mata. Walcott. Michu. Fellaini

Subs
Gazzaniga
Lambert. Luiz. Harte
January 14 at 9:56 am
Fratboy says:
It is a nice team. I think you will score many points. Congratulations.
January 14 at 9:58 am
RamaJama says:
Will Gazzaniga be fielded again?
January 14 at 9:59 am
Grumpy Camel says:
Standard
January 14 at 9:53 am
RamaJama says:
Which United def to pick on WC,
Evans or Rafael?
Or other more nailed defs in other teams for that price, with the same chance of regulary CS and attacking returns?
January 14 at 9:58 am
rvp786 says:
rafa
January 14 at 9:54 am
Fratboy says:
Thoughts guys?
De Gea
Ivanovic Davies Demel
Power 5
RVP Ba
Was thinking of Ivan and Ba> Gibbs and Aguero (if fit) for a hit?
Any other bright ideas?
January 14 at 9:56 am
harris says:
do it. ba will be annoying to have as we will never know who will play under rafa
January 14 at 10:05 am
Fratboy says:
Thanks Harris.
January 14 at 9:56 am
rvp786 says:
tempted with suarez/aguero myself.
but even if ageuro is fit aint u worried he might be on bench as a precaution??
January 14 at 9:57 am
rvp786 says:
how about ba to sturridge/podolski – means no hit either
January 14 at 10:05 am
Fratboy says:
Not a bad shout RVP thanks
January 14 at 9:57 am
Dogba says:
They said he “wouldn’t be risked” this GW, makes sense to me that he’s really close to starting then.
January 14 at 10:03 am
Fratboy says:
Yeah he said he’d be ready for Fulham so I think I’ll get him in.
Such beautiful captain rotation with RVP.
January 14 at 9:57 am
Dogba says:
That transfer sound decent IF Aguero is fit and Ba doesn’t look like starting versus Arsenal (come on, there IS a chance he will be first-choice, especially with Europa League situation and so on).
January 14 at 10:01 am
Fratboy says:
Ba was always going to be taken out unless he proved undroppable.
January 14 at 9:58 am
ChristIna says:
Forget the P5.
Get Stevie Me and fletcher in there.
All the kool cids are.
January 14 at 10:03 am
Fratboy says:
Think I’ll get Gerrard GW26. He’s having a stormer…although they are playing Norwich….hmmmm. You bast*rd. I’m debating it now!
January 14 at 10:04 am
rvp786 says:
i prefer the power 5.
January 14 at 9:55 am
Dogba says:
Just doing some thinking ahead of the GW, won’t do any transfers until we see how the FA Cup plays out. But initial thoughts:
A) Gibbs & Ba
B) Davies(STK)/Luiz(ARS) & Podolsk/Giroud
January 14 at 9:57 am
rvp786 says:
probably B
January 14 at 9:59 am
Dogba says:
Yeah probably, since I got many defenders with very decent fixtures this week. The Ba situation of course needs monitoring, Arsenal haven’t been that good defending on the road.
January 14 at 9:58 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
A for me
January 14 at 10:04 am
Dogba says:
So you fancy Gibbs and Ba to do well GW24? I’m not so sure on the Arsenal defence, especially with Carrol returning could see some Nolan goals. Then again they do not score at all on the road.
January 14 at 10:06 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Not so much for a CS, but attacking points could be on the cards. I’d be surprised if Ba doesn’t play. But it’s Rafas call I suppose!
January 14 at 10:08 am
Dogba says:
Yeah it’s hard to gauge though. If Torres starts vs Southampton, I reckon Ba will start vs Arsenal. If not, it’s anybody’s guess, but to me Ba looks to be in the driving seat.
January 14 at 10:10 am
Fratboy says:
B with Podolski imo.
January 14 at 9:58 am
tommoeommo says:
Anyone expecting Chamakh to play much this DGW?
January 14 at 9:59 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
He’ll be on the pitch, whether he’ll actually play is another question!
January 14 at 10:00 am
HelloSidney says:
Can’t play against Arsenal
January 14 at 10:01 am
ChristIna says:
Jeepers creepers but Nolan has been doing shite since I had hin for South/new around gw 11.
January 14 at 10:03 am
Santiagounreal says:
The Christina curse
January 14 at 10:04 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Brought him in a couple of weeks back for Lennon and missed the points Lennon had as a result. All because of this GW.
It’s true what Granville says, it’s so easy to be blinded by a DGW
January 14 at 10:05 am
Fernando Bubbles - No, I will not rate your team. Do go away. says:
If you’d kindly dump him before this double that’s be great.
January 14 at 10:02 am
rvp786 says:
everyoine seems to be taking out Ba????
if he dont start against saints, he is likely to start against arsenal right???
no one confident he will score against a weak arsenal defence??
January 14 at 10:04 am
Fratboy says:
Arsenal’s defence isn’t that bad, I thought they coped pretty well vs City after going a man down.
January 14 at 10:06 am
rvp786 says:
chelsea will rip them to shreds i reckon
January 14 at 10:06 am
Dogba says:
That’s the thing though overall it’s pretty good and they don’t concede many chances, but it’s just those lapses of concentration, major errors that cause big goalscoring opportunities to arise. And there’s been quite a few of those.
January 14 at 10:09 am
Fratboy says:
Fair point, think it’ll be a highscoring game to be fair. 3+ goals for sure. Not sure about the final score though.
January 14 at 10:02 am
HelloSidney says:
Anyone thinking of gambling on Joe Cole for the DGW?
January 14 at 10:05 am
Marr says:
good shout
January 14 at 10:08 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
I am, but with the FT I have I’m looking at either Caz Gibbs or Cole in. Only want to do one so will have to weigh things up
January 14 at 10:07 am
ChristIna says:
So Kallis picked up another test wicket.
285 test wckts
13046 test runs
January 14 at 10:08 am
rvp786 says:
so under rated its unbelievable
January 14 at 10:09 am
ChristIna says:
192 catches
January 14 at 10:10 am
rvp786 says:
the way they talk about tendu and ponting. i rate kallis higher due to his all round performances
January 14 at 10:11 am
rvp786 says:
having an allrounder like him in your team for a decade adds so much balance and stability to a team.
January 14 at 10:13 am
ChristIna says:
Kallis only 2500 behind no 1, tendulkar, and has played 35 tests less.
Scary
January 14 at 10:14 am
rvp786 says:
will he get there in your opinion? probably needs to play 3years to stand any chance
January 14 at 10:16 am
ChristIna says:
I think he might just make it.
Doubt he will get to 300 wckts though.
January 14 at 10:17 am
rvp786 says:
actualy he wont make it as tendulkar hasnt retired from tests yet so will keep scoring too just so he can keep his record
January 14 at 10:23 am
ChristIna says:
Aah, my bad. Though Sachin was sipping pina colada’s somewhere on a Bali beach.
January 14 at 10:18 am
ChristIna says:
Part of me wants tendulkar to still be top.
He was a little wizard. He always had so much time to play his shots.
i remember way back when SA was allowed back in test arena and we played our first test at Eden Gardens(?)
I read through the stats of the Indian team at the time and had a good laugh at this 18 yr old so called master batsman that had to face Alan Donald.
The rest is history.
January 14 at 10:22 am
rvp786 says:
im a pakistani and im dreading the saffers tour. we will get raped by steyn and co lol. our batting is useless
January 14 at 10:16 am
ronty says:
Greatest all-rounder since Sir Gary.
Has test stats to match Sachin,Punter,Lara and Rahul in the batting dept with
the ability to pick important wickets.
January 14 at 10:23 am
rvp786 says:
never really rated his bowling. but its deceptive
January 14 at 10:07 am
Fratboy says:
Blimey Gerrard has returned the last 7 games in a row!
January 14 at 10:08 am
ChristIna says:
Told you.
Jafalad has been laughing himself to sleep at night.
January 14 at 10:09 am
Fratboy says:
I knew he was doing well but that is remarkable consistency.
January 14 at 10:07 am
JELLYFISH says:
Suarez owners, thoughts after yesterday’s game? Didn’t see the game, but seeing Sturidge on the score sheet with another Gerrard assist is making me consider getting rid on my WC, whilst Gerrard is looking harder and harder to ignore in midfield!
January 14 at 10:08 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Not fussed and still holding till I wildcard at least…
January 14 at 10:11 am
JELLYFISH says:
I will be keeping to I WC after GW24, but my latest thinking is Suarez>Aguero when I do WC. Was going to go power 5 in mid, but this might need a re-think.
January 14 at 10:13 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
I’m seriously thinking about Gerrard. But Suarez stats so far are still difficult to ignore.
January 14 at 10:16 am
JELLYFISH says:
The problem is there is such a wealth of heavy hitting options in midfield, it’s knowing who to sacrifice for Gerrard. Current thinking out of the power 5 is Walcott.

Pap Le Cissier says:
Also think the power 5 will prove difficult for some when it comes to tough fixtures. Just my thoughts but been looking at it and it kind of restricts your options a little

JELLYFISH says:
Last GW being a case in point. Mata was the only player out of the power 5 to register any decent points.

Dogba says:
I transferred him out this GW for Ba, but yes, Sturridge looks much more interesting and Rodgers seem to love him. I think he’ll do a good job when he can actually be the spearhead instead of moping around on the wing like he did at Chelsea.

definitely keeping for Norwich at Anfield. i’m WCing in GW24 & going to assess him by then.

JELLYFISH says:
Same here, playing the WC late does give one time to assess.

Keep calm, we've got Fergie time says:
My team is
JAASKELANEN – Federici
SAGNA – DEMEL – Luiz – Davies – Clyne
WALCOTT (C) – Mata – Fellaini – Michu – Sterling
RvP – Suarez – Berbatov
1 FT and 1.0 in the bank
I am thinking Berba to Giroud? Do you think it is the best option without a hit?
Or, Luiz + Berbatov TO Goorks + Aguero (bench Goorks and play Davies) for -4 pts hit?
I am open for every transfer suggestion cause I will use WC for week after.

The Mata is CR7 is Hazardous to Messi says:
Never take a hit for Gorkks…
January 14 at 10:15 am
Keep calm, we've got Fergie time says:
But it is only to free the cash…. Like I said, he will be benched… And I an using WC after that…
Question Is
A – Luiz + Giroud
B – Davies + Aguero and -4 pts

Fratboy says:
I really wouldn’t recommend Giroud. Podolski perhaps but I think he’s a bit risky as well. I like the Aguero idea.

harris says:
go for giroud the best forward choice for the double week and who knows u might keep him long run as arsenal have great fixtures until the end

Got dragged away, hence no replies. Thanks for replies earlier chaps. And Christina – a rare bout of compassion! Much appreciated
Here’s a small but lynchpin part of my strategic impasse. Plan was firmly Louise > Gibbs. But now starting to think that Gibbs will probably score just 1-2 points more and actually I’d like to keep Louise long term now.
But going into DGW with just Walcott and Demel seems silly, no?
January 14 at 10:14 am
Fratboy says:
I’m ditching Ivan for Gibbs. I have just Walcott and Demel and agree that’s not enough coverage.
January 14 at 10:15 am

you’ll want Gibbs for GW24-27. trust me.
January 14 at 10:19 am
roscola says:
One of my plans involves keeping Ba and having a backline of Zabaleta, Gibbs & Azpil. So that could work.
January 14 at 10:13 am
Sporting ABG says:
still not tempted to WC yet.
just looking at Vertonghen (MUN) + Lambert (EVE) -> Zab (FUL) + Lukaku (AVL).
worth a punt?
January 14 at 10:15 am
Fratboy says:
Nah not worth it. Watch Clarke bench Lukaku now, he does it alllll the time.
January 14 at 10:18 am
roscola says:
Lukaku is a similar story to Ba – we all know that given the gametime, he will score lots and lots of goals. Unfortunately their managers don’t see it that way. If you think Luncheon Meat can cover his missed games adequately then do it.

Anyone like to predict who might lose out in the mid-week Chelsea line up?
I think Ivanovic could be given a rest for Terry/Cahill and Oscar will come in for somebody.
I also think Ba & Torres will both start.
January 14 at 10:16 am
Fratboy says:
ha good one
January 14 at 10:16 am
Timmy Cahill Rules says:
ivanovic will go to right back IMO
January 14 at 10:14 am
Timmy Cahill Rules says:
Lukaku will be rotated clarke loves rotating his forwards
once long is back it will be 50/50 between those 2
Because when long was firing he was still rotated for lukaku
