The final instalment in our series of Big Numbers articles focussing on Gameweeks 1-3 is rolled out this evening. After assessing the fortunes of defenders and midfielders, we now turn our attentions to the men up front – Chelsea and Southampton’s summer signings come under assessment, as do Everton’s in-form budget striker and the contrasting fortunes of a pair of Manchester-based front men.
sterling
pva
been away, what injuries and injury scares have I missed? any major concerns with this lot?
bego gilks
terry naylor pva ferdinand moore
cesc ramsey mata siggy albrighton
rooney dzeko jovetic
2FT and 2.4 in the bank
Ramsey and Jovetic doubts.
cheers! figured as much since they were flagged on fpl. any more details about them?
You're sorted.
Mata+Jovetic>Sterling+Costa no brainer.that's the transfer I was thinking of. Costa has been flagged though?
also why is Ramsey flagged?Costa is fine. Just that typical international injury. Ramsey should be fine as well. Check scout tweets.
cheers!
Down to two team choices, pick one:
A) (Includes £1m Cash ITB)
Lloris (Krul)
Evans Moreno Wilson (Taylor Wisdom)
Fabregas Sterling ADM Siggy (£4.5m)
Rooney Costa Welbeck
B) (No cash ITB)
FORSTER (ELLIOT)
Evans Moreno Wilson (Taylor Wisdom)
Fabregas Sterling ADM Siggy (£4.5m)
AGUERO Costa WelbeckB
The differences are basically
Lloris + Krul + Rooney + £1m
or
Forster + Elliot + Aguero
I can't decide but feel like Forster + Falcao next week + £0.4m Cash will be of more benefit. 😐Lloris + Falcao*
B
B if u can somehow upgrade your GK
What should I do?
DDG - Gilks
Debuchy - Cahill - Chester - Clyne - Dummet
Siggy - Ramsey - Eriksen - Sterling - Marney
Costa - Rooney - Fletcher
(2.4ITB) 0FT
Im thinking of playing Fletcher this GW and get Welbeck/Pelle for him next GW. I'm also worried about Ramsey. Should I do a transfer this GW and take a hit? Thoughts? Thanks.
My Team at the moment, should i wildcard?
Bego/Myhill
Terry/Caulker/Debuchy/Bruce/Duff (I know)
Ramsey/Lamela/Sterling/Siggy/Marney
Costa/Bony/Roondog
Was thinking of taking a punt with bony---> Jelly for the Monday night fixture.
Any ideas?
No need for a wc IMO. Bony to naisy for next 2 gw's would be gd too.
I am holding on bony myself , his stats are very encouraging and fixtures still strong , think we have been unlucky he has done nothing! No need to wildcard IMO
Captaincy...
Who're you putting the armband on this gw?
Between Rooney,Costa and Sterling for me.not sure. it'll probably be between those three for me as well
Sterling for me.
Costa.
Leaning towards Kun
Between him and Sterling? That's my conundrum
Yeah. Have a feeling this could be the week he announces himself.
Yeah same
*Kunundrum
😀
Indeed
lol
Sterling here
Costa if fit, sterling on VC for me atm 🙂
Di Maria
😯
Hardly a shocking punt considering his form and ability added to the fact United have a number of first choice players back.
Costa
Both Sterling and Costa if results are sown up won't make it past 60-70 min...
sooo on WC here..
Krul
shawX/moreno/Clyne
Fab/sterling/siggy/ADM
Costa/Ballo/Naismith
Bench: Guzan/PVA/moore/Rodwell

Off to work ...
Courtois
PVA - Robertson - Coloccini
Mirallas - Fabregas - Siggy - Sterling
Balotelli - Aguero - Rooney
subs: Gilks - Marney - Hutton - Naylor
0.1m ITB, -4 pt hit
Very happy with this team after removing Jovetic and Ramsey. Would like a Stoke defender but you can't have them all. Can chill 'til the weekend now!Will hazard play this gw?
Is he injured?
He's 'injured'
Mourinho classic then? Lol
Ah ok
He's flagged 75% chance of playing
Probably nothing. Just wait for pressers for some "info"
Sadio Mane likely to start this week? Gotta start him or Austin, draft league.
Doesn't look likely. Hasn't even trained with Soton yet.
Cool. Char broo
The crying game...
Why must you remind me of that scene? It already scarred my childhood
The Shining scarred me for life.
😥

HERE'S JOHNNY!
Oh mi jah, some really big numbas
Got my team sorted!
Foster
Terry Jones Chester
Fabregas Ramsey Sterling (C) Siggy
Costa (VC) Rooney Naismith
Bench: Krul Marney PvA Moore
2.0 ITB
Anyone playing Krul ahead of Foster?
Yeah, I have those two and just worried cos Everton put 3 past Chelsea...
If your'e on a WC get ivan for terry and lovren for jones.
Which player went up in value last night im 0.1 richer than last night but can't see who it was?
Dat guy
Welbeck, The only riser last night.
Cheers , I'm a little confused though He is still 6.9 I know we get 50% of the price but how can my TV be that if he is still 6.9 when I sell him?
He went up to 7.0 last night.
The prices on pitch view are the sale value, not player value. If you switch to data view it's a bit clearer.
I imagine you bought him at 6.9 and now he's 7.0. If you sell him you only get 6.9, which is why 6.9 is on the pitch view 🙂
Your team value shows the purchase price of your players.
When you sell a player who has risen in price, your team value drops because you pay capital gains tax of 50% (rounded up).
Chelsea optimistic Costa will be fit to face Swansea
But Blues say late decision will be made on availability of Spanish striker
Costa was pulled out of the Spain side to face Macedonia in the week, after picking up what was described as a 'minor' injury to his leg in the preceding international friendly against France.
But reports say the Blues believe he will be available for the visit of the Swans to Stamford Bridge on Saturday – but that a decision will be left until late in the day on whether he will feature.
The situation echoes that in the run-up to the Blues trip to Everton a fortnight ago, when it was reported early in the week that Costa had suffered a hamstring issue which could sideline him for weeks.
In the event, he played the full 90 minutes at Goodison Park, scoring twice – one goal at either extremity of the game.

Where is this?
Oracles, Seers, Clairvoyants, what are your views on Jovetic's yellow flag?
What is the most prudent course here all for a -4 hit:
A) Welbeck,
B) Naismith
C) Any other (Any Other Forward under 9.5m)
What are you thoughts?
RMWC
Krul Elliott
Clyne Moreno Shawcross Naylor Wisdom
Ramsey Sterling Siggy Fabregas Zaha
Naismith Falcao Costa
1.6 ITB?
looks good i like it
maybe zaha to a 4.5 so you have much funds to upgrade naismith in the near future

Wenger: "Danny Welbeck is young and I feel he can improve his career here. He is quick and is a great finisher" #AFCvMCFC
Is this DEF good enough?
DDG
Wilson Moreno Clyne Moore DuffYes.
Or do DDG > £5m keeper and Moore/Duff > Taylor or someone similar.
hazard or fab?
fab.. gets all the set pieces too
haz on pens..
Sky Sports Game - Currently have Dzeko as captain. With Jovetic a doubt I presume he's good to keep?
hes good to keep but captaincy is a bit of a risk though.. but it could work out as a nice differential
I only have him as captain as I've not swapped from last week yet.
9 years, 7 months agoWho will score higher this GW:
Hazard vs Sterling
Moore vs PVA
