The Big Numbers – Gameweek 8

With West Brom and Man United set to see out the Gameweek tomorrow, we delve into the data from the nine matches played so far. Unsurprisingly, Man City, Southampton and West Ham’s in-form front men are on this evening’s agenda, whilst we also cast an eye over a couple of improving north London-based midfielders.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Any news on Lampard's injury?

  2. Screaming Midget

    If anybody has Aguero and gets a red arrow, that is one twisted GW!

  3. MC Hammer

    Is Aguero essential now.

    1. simon432
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Probably.

      Is Siggy now non-essential?

      I think u can manage not having him for west ham game. The hammers look quite solid at the back. My plan is to free up funds this week and bring him in for man u game, that's unless costa is ruled out for at least 2 more weeks

    3. Screaming Midget
      • 14 Years

      Siggy is almost up front and for his price is well worth keeping.

      If he was 8-9 mil then you could take him out, but I don't see many/any players better for a cheaper price.

    4. MC Hammer
      • 11 Years

      But Aguero is captaincy material in every game

    Alcaraz, will he be a regular starter for the next few months whilst Stones is out? Could be a lovely cheap way to get Everton defence if it's too tight to squeeze Baines in!

    30! haha

    Is Lovren , Sterling , Caulker --> Eriksen , Baines & Chambers good for -4pt hit ?

    1. Muffinz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, imho.

    2. Mouth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  7. MC Hammer

    9 years, 6 months ago

    Bego McCarthy
    Ivanovic Baines Clyne Wilson Wisdom
    Sterling Fab ADM Siggy Boyd
    Costa Pelle Wellbeck

    Do I need Aguero and Tadic.? If so how?
    Thanks

    1. PMC3
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I have Pelle and Clyne and I want Tadic but I think it would be saints overkill, they wont win 8-0 every week.

      Aguero seems more vital but the problem is Costa being an unknown.

      1. MC Hammer
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        But Saints are a very attacking team and will score goals and Tadic will only get better.

        1. PMC3
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Well then make sure you get one of him and Pelle out again when their fixtures sour on GW13.

    This is the article I've been waiting on, badly needing some numbers 🙂

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't have considered aguero till I saw this 😉

      1. Gnu

  9. waltzingmatildas

    Just can't decide if I need aguero in.....

    Is ivan, siggy and welbeck to wisdom, boyd and aguero worth it?

    1. MC Hammer
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      3 good players for one top player and 2 non-players? No.

    2. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed with MC

    3. MC Hammer
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Find another way. I do fear not having Aguero too but just don't know how to do it

    4. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I agree too, just don't know if I can go without aguero...

    5. zuzuViking
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If thats your worst sacrifice. No

  10. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 10 Years

    Since no one wants Baines for cs's that is no good

  11. Bring Back Caldwell
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth sacrificing two of Fab/ADM/Sterling to fund Naismith > Aguero?

    1. MC Hammer
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly depending on who you are replacing those kids with? Tadic/Siggy?

      1. MC Hammer
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        *mids not kids

      2. Bring Back Caldwell
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thinking Tadic and Downing/Moses...

        1. MC Hammer
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I think Tadic will do as well as those big hitters so no loss there

          1. Bring Back Caldwell
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah very tempted...are you looking to get him in as well?

    2. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Not for me.

  12. AH 🙂
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lads, Is Lovren , Sterling , Caulker --> Eriksen , Baines & Chambers good for -4pt hit ? 🙂

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Improves your defence but is there anyway you can keep sterling?

      1. AH 🙂
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        idk mayby !? and would u buy fab over sterling

    2. Patty
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Am On 437 Total Points & Finally Might Get Rid Of Aluko (0 Points & Have Him Since Start) This Wk 🙂 . Who Would You Replace With Under 5M For Rotation, Have Fab ADM, Sterling, Silva.

  15. Robbens Diving Instructor
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    My team is currently

    Krul Elliot
    Terry Bertrand clyne hutton ferdinand
    Hazard downing sterling siggy albrighton
    Aguero Costa Naismith

    I need rid of Naismith, terry and possibly hazard tbh

    Thoughts on the following moves for a -4

    Terry, hazard, Naismith > baines, eriksen, Welbeck

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      looks ok ,
      why dont you do Nai to Sakho

  16. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I really want Sanchez

    Could fund it by doing Cahill + siggy > Sanchez + 4.1m. I'd wait till next week and do it for free

    What do you reckon?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      id just wait and get wally.

  17. joe259

    B) Chambers + Sterling

    Thanks

      9 years, 6 months ago

      A

  18. Old Boots
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any of these good moves to bring in Aguero & Baines?

    A) Sterling to Chadli
    B) Fabregas to Eriksen
    C) Forget Baines and get Jags

    1. joe259
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      a

    2. MC Hammer
      • 11 Years

      A

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A. holds water.

  19. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Whilst I know a lot of people are worried about the impact on their rank once auto subs are made with Costa vice captainers, please do spare a thought for those of us with PVA's -2 coming off our benches 🙂

    1. Patty
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      got Ulloa (1 pt) and Moore (1pt) coming in for me

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe i'll rise 😉

  20. Patty
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is sigurdson still essential?

    1. joe259
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      he is worth it for the price

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not with tadic, Chadli and Henderson as credible alternatives

    3. MC Hammer
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      For the price and quality yes

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      id keep for the next game at least

  21. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    What do we reckon average score rise will be tomorrow in the top 100k?

    Obviously depends on adm but there must be 5-10 points average just on Costa replacements

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I've got nobody left.

      Scared stiff about the upcoming damage to my rank tomorrow night

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I have 6 pts off the bench but no players left.

        Was always going to be scary going into MNF with no adm but at least I have all my points for the week to console me 🙂

    2. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I reckon VCs and autosubs will come to about 10. You can then add 1.3x ADMs points plus any other points on top.

  22. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I hate Dzeko. God knows why I didn't sell him this week when I had a FT at my disposal.

    Never again!

    1. joe259
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      sell him

  23. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ivanovic, Hazard, Ulloa > 4.5m DEF, Tadic, Aguero (-8)

    YES or NO?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No way

    2. joe259
      • 11 Years

      no

    3. zuzuViking
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sore knees?

    4. Patty
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      chambers and yes IMO

  24. joe259
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Rate this team guys

    Lloris
    Baines, Clyne, Chambers
    ADM, Fab, Siggy, Henderson
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    Suggestions to improve the team?

    This weeks numbers article revealed just how misleading stats can be. The stats highlighted for Mario Balotelli are very positive making out he is an explosion imminent player, when in actual fact he had one of the poorest individual performances I have ever seen.

    1. joe259
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Second that

  27. Frank Black
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    For anybody who's considering doing Costa to Aguero, it is worth mentioning that the fifth best player overall has Aguero and no Costa. So, while scary, it is possible to live without him.

  28. Mojo Rojo
    • 11 Years

    PvA & Sterling > Baines & Tadic for free?

    1. potatoace

      yep.

    Here's a question for you all. Without looking, how many goals has Siggy scored in the league this season so far?

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      1?

      1. Qubit
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        1 is indeed correct. Interesting isn't it.
