The Big Numbers – Gameweek 16

In light of Sergio Aguero’s knee injury, we delve into the data to highlight a number of forwards’ weekend displays. Wilfried Bony and Robin van Persie’s fine form arrives under the spotlight, whilst we also assess Diego Costa’s recent toils for Chelsea. The Gunners’ weekend scorers and Tottenham’s in-form Dane are also amongst this evening’s topics as Fantasy managers look to spend that left over budget from the Aguero fall-out.

    good article

    Benteke > ?

    It will be for a hit, it was a mistake buying him in the first place.

    9.4m to spend

      Depends who you have..

      Bony, Austin, Costa

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I have Costa & Bony

    2. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

    3. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Seems a bit early to be calling it a mistake. Goal, assist, blank after Villa went down to 10 men isn't the worst thing in the world. I guess Bony might be an upgrade but I don't really think it's worth a hit.

      1. Just A Wooden Spoon
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thought he was unlucky not to score too

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I can't see him doing much against United and Swansea though

    4. jagshmash

      9 years, 4 months ago

      one blank and he's out??

      i havent seen the game. was he that bad?

  4. MaRooney 5
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Haz, Sánchez, Siggy, x
    Bony, Costa, Kane

    Chadli replacement for 9.5:
    a. Downing
    b. Nasri
    c. Eriksen
    d. other?

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      a or c

  5. Nerazzuro
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So i transferred Aguero out for Dzeko and we all know how that turned out!

    Am i crazy to want to now go Dzeko to Jovetic? He will be fit for match day correct?

    1. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      avoid

    2. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No Pelle said he may be one of those out for a couple of weeks.

      1. Nerazzuro
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Who would u partner Bony with then? other striker is vaz te who is obviously useless... 0.8 ITB

        1. Tommy J
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sakho/RVP/Giroud/KAne

  6. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    hoping for a big night tomorrow:
    Yun
    Baines
    Lukaku (c )

    1. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Happy with my big day today(Erik and Harry)...but have Baines and Yun to come.

  7. Tommy J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Might need to do RVP transfer tonight if want to save price rise...

    1. AH 🙂
      • 9 Years

      rvp in for who

      1. Tommy J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Dzeko

  8. lugalooch
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    in light of kompany's injury is demichelis or mangala the most safest bet for city defenders as they wont be rotated?

    1. Isco Disco
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

  9. AH 🙂
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I have the exact money to do : Siggy + Naylor --> Eriksen + Zaba (-4) , but not keen on the hit .....
    So which shall i do first ?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years

      how many times are you going to post this?

  10. Just A Wooden Spoon
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Team currently:

    Guzan, Elliot
    Chambers, Dummett, Hutton, Wisdom, Azpi
    Sanchez, Downing, Yaya, Mirallas, Hazard
    Costa, Bony, Austin

    1ft and 1.8m ITB

    Which of the following would you do:

    A. Chambers -> Zaba
    B. Costa -> VP
    C. Other
    D. Save transfer

    ?

  11. goriuanx

    Thoughts on Carroll as a punt?

    LEI Che ARS

    Fancy him to do damage against LEI and ARS

    1. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Perhaps! Its still Carroll though, putting too much faith in him is hardly a great idea.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Just a punt. My faith lies elsewhere 😀

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He's a one week punt, but a very good one

    3. Sadio come here often?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think he is a very good punt for this week at least. Sort the following by "headed goal attempts conceded":

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Repost, was with evs next door

    What's my move lads?

    A) Azpi to terry for safety

    B) upgrade my non players to ensure I get 11 out. Moore and albrighton)

    Everything else is in order

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B.

      I reckon Azpi goes back in the starting 11

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Reckon or hope 😉

        1. Bakeyournoodle23
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Azpi should be back now for rest of xmas fixtures I reckon. I am worried though!

      2. 42 Rules
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        +1 on this, Luis did'nt look good.

    2. Wouter
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Would do B.

      Azpi will probably start next game.

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers lads

    3. Cloudeu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd go B also, might be terry's turn next for a rest as he's not missed any minute's in the league so far.

  13. Rhys85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Team for GW17:

    Foster
    Caulker, Baines, Janmaat
    Sanchez, Haz, Downing, Eriksen
    Kane, Costa, Austin

    Bench: Guzan, Siggy, Clyne, Williams

    Good to go?

    Cheers

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Play Clyne over Janmaat.

      Captain?

      1. Rhys85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Eriksen or Austin?

    2. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Captain Eriksen or Austin.......undecided!?

  14. xtina
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    7.4 in the bank..which midfielder to get to replace jedinak? already have fabby siggy sanchez & davis

    1. Isco Disco
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yaya or Eriksen

      1. xtina
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        thanks - leaning towards yaya

  15. TeamSteam
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lets hear it for all that think RvP will sustain his 60+ % shot accuracy and keep on scoring every game United creat 3-4 chances in.

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lol so true classic case of people just blindly following the points.

      And for those saying points are all that matters, that's what ulloa owners post week 5 thought

      1. VougieDipond
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        who? lol

  16. Judas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Have a strikeforce of Costa / Austin / Lukaku

    Not having Bony or Rooney scares me

    1. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Shouldnt be afraid of Rooney. Decent option, not great. Had a free goal today and one more medium chance, playing cm as well.

  17. Richd
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    God i'm gonna spray my captains armband all over AUSTIN this week.

    Whos with me?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I reckon so. Sanchez not a bad shout either

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Is that what you call it?

    3. The Gambler.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Got him as capt now but looking at Siggy > Yaya (c)

    4. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I got chu.

    5. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yaya, Kane or Carroll

  18. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Which transfer should i do first ?

    A. Siggy > Downing
    B. Fabregas > Hazard

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Neither if I'm honest

    2. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      The only one i`d do is B.

    3. Isco Disco
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Doing A myself

  19. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Costa and Yaya to RvP and Eriksen, Yes or No?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Madness

    2. Isco Disco
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Way too knee-jerky. Check Chelsea and City's fixtures

  20. Get up ya bum
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I loves you back evster 😀

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Of course you do you cheeky little minx 😉

  21. Evans
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best front 3 for xmas period

    For me

    Austin, Bony, Benteke

    All on pens
    Focal points for team
    Will play every game
    Good fixtures

    1. Timtastic03
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      None can explode

  22. JayBomb
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone care to predict the starting back 4 for Citea against Palace ?

    Zaba, Demichelis, Mangala, Lolorov ?

  23. John t penguin
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling stats should be changed to sh*t shots in the box

  24. Bakeyournoodle23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sigursson to Eriksen worth it? Eriksen so inconstant...at least Sigursson looks key most games and you know to drop him when Swans away

  25. Baa
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on getting Mata? United's fixtures aren't bad...

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It could be good, it could end in tears...

      1. Baa
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That is what I am scared of 🙁

  26. Richd
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Also guys, is it mad to wildcard mid december? No pressing changes, just fancy a freshen up. Get rid of Moore, get Hazard in etc

    1. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yes

  27. bdwhite91
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I think one of the major reasons I want to have RVP is because nothing sounds better than RVP (c) next week.

    1. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin (C) ,Kane(C)

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      An on form RVP playing alongside Falcao and Rooney behind is a worthy gamble against villa/NEW...

  28. Just A Wooden Spoon
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Clichy now the City defender likely to get the least mins over the festive break? Zaba surely the most nailed now he's had a break?

    1. Wouter
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Clichy has been great though.

    2. Bakeyournoodle23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I hope so concerning I got in Zaba for this weekend's fixtures :/

    3. Isco Disco
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Demi and Mangala are nailed on too

  29. andytran
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any suggestions on my team with 4.2m in the bank?

    Forster
    Clichy Dummett Azpilicueta
    Wanyama Hazard Sánchez Sigurdsson
    Austin Diego Costa Lukaku

    Jakupovic Yun Suk-Young Taylor Jedinak

    1. marhal
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wanyama to Eriksen

  30. Wooders
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Guzan
    Baines, Clyne, Naylor (Wilson, Duff)
    Haz, Yaya, Sanchez,
    Downing (Jedinak)
    Costa, Bony & Austin

    Any thoughts? 0.5 ITB 1FT
