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.

          Walcott spent a lot of time on the bench though and is now playing pretty much up front. Whereas Caz hasn't done too much lately (hattrick aside)

            not convinced walcott will continue up front - he is never an out an out striker and his decision making is woeful at times. seriously overated

          Agreed - so many negative comments about cazorla on here. look at his stats. he's the 3rd highest scoring mid in the game.

          first 10 gameweeks walcott didn't start a game (or so). bit unfair to compare total points. since gw11, walcott has been the highest scoring player in the game, even more points than rvp starting from gw11.

    My WC team is ready. It will be crazy here tonight before deadline so I don't want to do some stupid thing later...

    So, can you rate it 1-10

    De Gea
    Baines --- Zabaleta --- Wilkinson
    Mata --- Walcott --- Fellaini --- Michu --- Bale (c)
    RvP (c) --- Sturridge

    Bench: Bunn, Davies, Pog, Pearce

    This is team for next 2 GW and with 2 FT for GW26 I can transform it including Suarez or Aguero with selling Baines, Fellaini.....etc etc
