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.

    I'd be very grateful for your opinions on this team:

    begovic (bunn)
    baines, gibbs, demel (marriappa, clyne)
    walcott, mata, michu, noble (puncheon)
    rvp (c), suarez, ba

    1) is playing demel and nolan over clyne/puncheon the right call.
    2) i've got an FT and 1m in the bank, was thinking of saving it but open to suggestions - (rid demel / noble)
