With Gameweek 3 now behind us, it’s time scour the statistics once again as we highlight the stars from last weekend’s round of matches. As many Fantasy managers are mulling over wildcards, we also incorporate some overall numbers from the season so far for your perusal and consideration.
was set for 4:30pm, delayed to 6pm but yet nothing
Open Controls
Nope! Just not announced yet!
If United's deal for Feallini fell through, because Everton's deal for his replacement fell through, and then United scrapped their deal for 36m Herrera, and then hijacked this deal despite Ozil passing Arsenal medical, now that would be quite messy now!Open Controls
Still can't believe Ozil's assist tally. 91 assists at Real Madrid. 91.
Open Controls
That is phenomenal, if Arsenal do get him it's one hell of a signing.
Open Controls
42m though. I know he's excellent but he's not exactly a bargain at the same time.
Open ControlsArsene gets moaned at for not spending though? Plus a player of Ozil's proven calibre would never be cheap.
Open Controls
United spending 36Mill on an unknown spanish mid and no one is even batting an eye. Ridiculous hypocrisy.
Open ControlsBut they aren't actually going to get him, are they? 😯
Classic panic-buying.Open ControlsI think they will, and yes it panic buying at its worst. At least end up with Arteta and Mertesacker cheap when you panic buy
Open ControlsBoth who turned out to be pretty solid acquisitions surprisingly.
Open Controls
More of a long term signing. Look at Bayern with Javi Martinez and Real Madrid with Asier Illaramendi. In the same boat so to speak.
Open Controls
*£30.5m
Open Controls
Arsenal have done nothing but bargains for a while, it's time for them to being in proven quality to try and push on.
Proven quality comes at a price!Open ControlsBoth good points, I suppose it's about time to splash some cash!
Open Controls
And 25M for Schurrle was just about right innit?
Open ControlsYup.
Open Controls
To be fair playing with Ronaldo/Benzema/Higuain/Di Maria etc etc you would expect them to be put away.
Open ControlsMore speaking from a real life perspective.
Open Controls
How would you rate these from best to worst as FPL prospects for the near future?
1. Giroud
2. Benteke
3. Sturridge
4. Soldado
(Repost)Open Controls
The difference between the 4 is minimal.
I have gone bottom 3 simply because I have Walcott and I enjoy coverage.Open Controls
Benteke
Sturridge
Giroud
SoldadoOpen Controls
I love how everyone underestimates Giroud. His donkey label is the best thing ever because no-one else wants to pick him. His underlying stats are very impressive, and I'll gladly take in those points before everyone snaps him up in 3 weeks.
Also, even if Arsenal they sign Ba, Giroud will be first choice.Open Controls
I'd say:
1. Giroud (Ozil is coming, he'll have a ton of chances!)
2. Sturridge (LPool form is great and he's devastating)
3. Benteke (Good short-term fixtures, heavily involved)
4. Soldado (Spurs need to gel and even though he has nice fixtures, hasn't had many chances)Open Controls
Benteke
Sturridge
Soldado/GiroudOpen Controls
Rate this WC team? ?/10?
Migs - (Boruc)
Zabaleta - Colman - Enrique - Collins - (Chambers)
Lampard - Walcott - Silva - (Ward-Prowse) - (Barkley)
Sturridge - Benteke - Soldado
Might see how much Ozil is when he's priced.Open Controls
Really nice 8 or 9 for me, don't bother with Chambers, go with Cheste.r
Open Controls
How funny would it be if Arsenal didn't get him?
Open Controls
It's ok. We don't really need Pastore
Open Controls
very 😀
but I already can see him serving Wally's and Giroud's goal galores 😀Open Controls
Not very. What's funny is that they're not strengthening in defence, backup keeper, back 4, proper hatchetman defensive mid.
Open ControlsGood point.
Haha.Open Controlsthey have signed a very good back up keeper and I don't think Wenger will really be looking for a hatchetman
Open Controls2nd best defence in the league last season, but I get what you're saying, more competition would have been a positive.
Open ControlsHatchetmen defensive mids are no longer a necessity. Give me one example of a player of that category who has been part of a successful team recently?
Open Controls
I wouldn't say funny. I enjoy watching good Premier league football and Ozil would certainly add to that.
The better quality of players in the premier league the better imo.Open Controls
what you reckon about my team?
boruc (mannone - gotta take him out soon i know)
toure chester collins (gabbidon, garrido)
paulinho walcott hernandez mirallas
rvp aguero sturridge
did my 1 ft already joe cole out for hernandez.... any other move i need to make?
0.4 in the bankOpen Controls
Hey
Just want to get this straight.
If I WC today I have until the deadline of GW4 to confirm my squad for that week and all the time in between to catch price rises making unlimited transfers, right?Open Controlsyep
Open Controls
"Your comment has been marked for review. It'll be published shortly." Eh? was just posting up the Remy story
Open ControlsOscar or Mirallas
Hernandez or PaulinhoOpen ControlsOscar or Lampard
Open Controls
Bendtner, Moses and Ireland all back on the radar in time to ruin my team further! 😉
Open ControlsAs an Arsenal fan, you must be over the moon with the Ozil signing? Will he make it to your team, or does it make Giroud even more essential?
Open Controls
Mark's miffed 😛
Open Controls
I actually started thinking, yeah, Ireland had that great season under Hughes - it could work...
Open Controls
Am I the only one considering Schurrle as a bargain at 7.7?
Open Controls
Whos the best arsenal cover between Giroud and Walcott? Have Theo and Lambert just now
Open Controls
Flip a coin both are good
Open Controls
Villa have completed the signing of striker Libor Kozak from @officialsslazio. http://bit.ly/19co7yO
Open Controls
Backup for Tekkers, goal record isn't great.
Open ControlsYeah goes without saying. He won't affect Benteke's game time
Open ControlsOr maybe he will. Could give Benteke the odd rest
Paul Lambert on Libor Kozak: “He’ll take that burden off Christian Benteke and he’ll add greatly to what we’ve got."Open Controls
I think he's talking about cup runs and in case of injury.
Tekkers will get all the games in the PL, im sure.Open Controls
He was gold in last season Europa League fantasy. 10 goals in 11 appearances.
Open Controls
early thoughts for next gw? 2 freebies available
thinking possibly miralles, dzeko, coutinho OUT?
Migs
Terry | Toure | Collins
Coutinho | Walcott | Hazard | Miralles
Dzeko | Giroud | Soldado
Davies, Turner, Kim, M.Open Controls
Dzeko and Mirallas ok, but I wouldn't take out Coutinho just yet
Open Controls
Libor Kozak just signed for Aston Villa
Open Controlsyep, looks a useful target man

Dont know if this has been posted already but just seen it on the official website.

Not long to wait!Open Controls
Looks like its bye bye Walcott, hello Ozil if and when he signs....
Open ControlsBREAKING NEWS: Aston Villa have signed Libor Kozak from Lazio for an undisclosed fee
Open Controls
Chelsea d-fence which 1 to go with? (given risk of rotation)
Ivan is best but + expensiv at 6.5..other 2 at 6.0 Terry,Cahill and Luiz 6.3Open ControlsBREAKING NEWS: Chelsea have rejected a swap Torres-Adebayor from Tottenham, according to Sky Italy
Open Controls
Come on Arsenal 35 million bid for benteke and 30 mill for di maria
Open Controls
So Stephen Ireland to Stoke 4.8m might be a decent shout for cheap fifth mid spot
Open ControlsReplacement for Touré:
A) Zabaletta
B) Ivanovic
C) Luiz
D) Anyone else around the 6.5 mark?Open Controls
Keep Toure, he'll be fit and i think he'll play the next few
Open Controls
You think Chelsea have better clean sheet potential than ManU/Tot over the next few weeks?
Open Controls
Vidic
Open Controls
Typical scousers have to ruin it

10 years, 8 months agoHas the Özil transfer been confirmed yet? I really want this to happen, even though I'm not an Arsenal fan!
