The Numbers Game – Goals Imminent?

With a nod to community member, “In-Tommy-We-Trust’s” excellent “Explosion Imminent” tables in our members area, this latest article focuses on those players who, over the last four Gameweeks, have been providing a significant goal threat without reward.

We take a look at the top performing individuals who have fired in the most shots without scoring, in an attempt to identify those perhaps most likely to provide imminent goal returns.

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

    Thinking of Podolski out for Rooney (have Walcott but no Utd cover)
    Is this desperate?

        That's what I'm thinking but don't know if Podolski ditchable just now.
        Valencia for Sterling, perhaps...?

          Got to have RVP or Rooney (if he starts). You've brought in Podolski for Ba already?

            Nah, had Podolski for a while. Seems churlish to ditch him the week after he finally pays off!

    I see Glen Johnson and Enrique are back for Liverpool against Arsenal. I'd say that's bad news for Podolski as GJ is a much better right back than Wisdom (and Demel!). Ironically, might be better for Walcott as he would have been up against GJ otherwise.

    Arteta and Coquelin out means Diaby and Wilshere in central midfield. Looks OK to me.

      Ramsey and Wilshere I think. Ramsey had two very good games. No need to drop him. And Diaby needs a rest.

        If diaby needs a rest it's because his body is chronically unable to take regular football. The guy's only played two Prem games in months, being subbed off early in both cases. I think if playing him now is too much we have to question why have him.

      So we'll probably line up like this?

      Szczesny
      Sagna ● Mertesacker ● Vermaelen ● Gibbs
      ● Diaby ● Wilshere

        Still though he's one of the best free kick takers in the league and is also on pens. Puncheon is owned by far more people so can't be fully classified as a differential. Fixture wise Gardner has the advantage too...Sunderland hitting good form.

    Trying to figure out whether to buy Aguero or Suarez this week, what do you think, who scores more points over the next 3 gameweeks?

    A: All Aguero: @ QPR vs Liverpool @ Southampton

    B: All Suarez @ Arsenal @ Citeh vs West Brom vs Swansea

    C: Aguero @ QPR vs Liverpool, Suarez for the double, probably will need a hit to get him in.

    Who is more likely to keep a CS and/or assist in a goal?

    O'Brien away to Fulham
    Martin R home to Tottenham

    Leaning towards Norwich (martin R) as West Ham have been so awful recently.

    Who is considered the best option long term, Nastasic or Jose Enrique?

    I'm strongly leaning towards JE despite the tough fixtures for the next two Gameweeks.

      A lot may depend on Evans. If he is not fit, Jones or Smalling may be required at CB. But frankly I'd say he's 95% certain to play

        Nothing depends on Evans. Rio and Vidic are both fit.
