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.

      Looks great as it is. No need to mention your OR in a RMT btw.

        I think its a good idea .. Ownership dynamics in the top 10 - 20k are a tad different . so maybe i can get ideas keeping that in mind

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

          Ownership in the top 10k+ would be about similar to what most people are posting here tbh. Slightly different than template.

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Siggy the only worry rest looks good

    4. TotalJustice
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      i wud prefer not to take a hit rite now...

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

      Siggy to eriksen

    6. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I won't mind going Siggy to Eriksen. Or you could save a transfer.

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

        Already used up my transfer .. Siggy to Eriksen not worth a hit surely ?

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

          Not worth a hit. I would stick with Siggy. I'm benching him myself.

  3. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Adrian or Guzan from now until the Jan WC?

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

      Guzan

  4. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    On average, how many pts were scored yesterday? Went from 65k to 80k even after scoring 7pts(Rooney and Sigurdsson) 😐

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

      11 points from Kane and Siggy but dropped like 30k places 🙁

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

      25 points from Eriksen Bony Rooney 🙂

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years

        Hate you 😆

      Bookmark this for those sort of questions

      https://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/

      10.1 overall and 10.7 for the top 10k

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

        Thanks! Had bookmarked but didnt knew they do daily average... 🙂

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

        Wow that's a high average.. I only got 7

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

      It all depends on your rank. I only fell 100 places to ~600, probably because not many in the top 1K own RVP, Eriksen and Mata.

    5. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      haha yeah i have a drop too..tonite should rise though as i have 2 players..which many should only have 1

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

        Baines and Coleman here, cleansheet would be nice 😀

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          yeah definitely! 😀

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

      Well...

      I scored 2. I'm fairly sure that was below average

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I score 0. Nuff said.

  5. RedNev
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Siggy to Eriksen (-4) or Downing?

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

      Play siggy. Get eriksen for free next week

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

      not for a hit...

  6. Ando
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    That was the last straw for me from Diego Costa, for 11m he's just not producing enough. He always gets yellow cards, he never gets assists or bonus and is hardly ever captain material. Costa --> budget forward (most likely Charlie Austin) and Boyd --> Yaya this week. Knowing my luck, Costa will get a brace and Yaya will get his 5th yellow card.

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

      thanks for costa(yellow magnet) brace.. but I am still afraid to hand him armband.. 😛

  7. Dain Bramage
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    De Gea and Hart both gone up

  8. Waterboyd
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Myhill Guzan
    Taylor Chambers Wisdom O'Shea Baines
    Boyd Hazard Sanchez Toure Eriksen
    Pelle Bony Austin
    1FT 2.1m ITB

    1) Myhill -> Foster
    2) Boyd -> Downing and play 3-5-2
    3) Pelle -> Someone
    4) Chambers -> Zabaleta (or someone else)
    5) Others.

    Thoughts?

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

      3 get rid of pelle ASAP

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

        Who do you suggest? Was thinking of leaving him as he's against Newcastle who has had at least one goal conceded the last 4 GW.

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

          pelle against everton not toon

  9. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    My mid and attck:

    Hazard -- Eriksen -- Oscar -- Brady -- Bolasie
    Rooney -- Dzeko -- Bony

    have 2 FT and 5.5m ITB

    Thinking of doing

    Oscar --> Silva...but who would be the best Dzeko replacement?

    PS: Don't want Austin

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

      giroud may b with those quality suppliers he can be goal machine...

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

        might just take a punt..thanks

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Giroud/RvP?

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

        thought of Doubling up on RVP and Rooney

    3. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      carroll

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        good shout..thanks!

  10. Pinoche
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Siggy's away form is kak and he has got 3 away games in the next 4.. Time to get rid I reckon especially if you got him late like me

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

      if you got him late yeah but i wont find more value for 6.0 anywhere else

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yup, switched to Eriksen yesterday. Better fixtures.

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

        I also wanted to do Syggi>> Erik but is it waise for a hit??

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

          i did Clyne > O'shea (to get money) then Siggy to eriksen earlier today

    3. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      This totally answers my question. Thanks! Didn't notice him not performing away. Looks like this might have just solved my benching dilemma

    4. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Made that switch 2 weeks ago 😉

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

    How's my team?

    Lloris (Guzan)
    Azpi Tomkins Bertrand (Dummett Wisdom)
    Haz Yaya Siggy Sanchez (Boyd)
    Austin Sakho Costa

    1 FT, 1.9 ITB.

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      very nice mate 🙂

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

        Should I keep Bertrand and Siggy?

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

      only improvemnt cud be bertrand >>> city def as u have some cash

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

        Who is better - Zabaleta or Kompany?

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Looking good..but get rid or Bertrand or Siggy

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

    Upgrade defence IMO...

    I pulled the trigger and go for Clyne ---> Demichelis

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

      with cheap teams performing I dont feel a need for expensive defence

  13. HammersXI
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Would like to know why most ppl are asking me to bench Siggy this week even though they play Hull. Is it cause he doesn't perform away? Or Swansea don't look like the force they started off the season with? Thanks!

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      he hasn't done anything away from home since gw1...but it was more that your other 7 attackers have better potential this week... 🙂

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

        I didn't about that. Thanks for the info! And ah yes you remember! Okay looks like I just solve my benching dilemma. I'm just a bit afraid of his high ownership. And especially when they play Hull of all teams.

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          no problem! well you are in the top 10k and I think lots will sell him (4th most transferred out player today) and many will bench him too (4% did it last away game, given his form that will probably go up)...also he doesn't have much goal threat...an assist is unlikely to hurt you that much 🙂

  14. Think Tank
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Got Baines and Coleman to play today, so hoping for something special from the pair.

    Who do you guys have left to play?

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

      baines

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

      Would love an Everton cleanie and a penalty. I do own Yun though so maybe a cheeky 60 min appearance before Baines score would be nice. This is just me dreaming as usual.

      1. Think Tank
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Lots of Baines owners then. Not many Lukaku or Mirallas owners it seems.

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      same, been disappointing owning them in recent weeks, hopefully they repay the faith! 🙂

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      no one..

      1. Think Tank
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Hoping for a 2-2 McGeady and Vargas brace then!

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Baines and Coleman

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

    Eriksen (c)

    Bold or Silly

    1. Think Tank
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Choices a bit thin on the ground, so not a bad idea.

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      bold, not silly...spurs have struggled to score at home all season, and eriksen is generally inconsistent

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

        so your saying its a good pick or bad pick

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          very risky captain pick, but of course it can come off 🙂

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

            not many other choices though, either him, Austin or Yaya

            1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              aye not that many good ones next week - the potential reward is clear, just saying spurs home form is terrible...they blanked against Cpl last home game...

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

      Yes

  16. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Right gents what to do here?

    Forster
    Clyne dummett Yun
    Hazard Yaya Eriksen sanchez
    Austin Lukaku costa

    4.0 chester King hutton

    0FT & 1.4m ITB

    A) Forster to hart -4
    B) Clyne to zaba -4
    C) chester to Clichy -4
    D) no hits

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

      no hit I wud say for defenders but ur defence needs overhaul...

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

      No hits

    3. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Clyne transfer looks good for a hit for the long term. Short term I'll say no.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Defo looking at long term

    4. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Did you captain Lukaku?

      A

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No I p*ssied out in last minute and switched to Hazard

        LR

    5. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      not playing chester this week ?

  17. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    As City defence is bit of lottery atm. might as well go to cheapest nailed on player even if he isn't as attacking as his fellow full back or centre back. Yes, I'm talking about grandpa Martin. Sounds sensible?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Isn't hart more nailed on though ?

      1. Think Tank
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, I've gone with Hart.

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      demi is a quality pick - yes

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, AR.

    3. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      im in the same boat - looking for a clyne replacement. I think demi fits the bill even if he isnt gonna be as attacking as zaba/clichy/kolarov with kompany's injury

  18. kingozil-The Germans once a…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Fabianski, myhil

    Naylor, azpi, Baines, hutton, dummet

    Hazard, Sanchez, downing, siggy, mirallas

    Lukaku, auustin, costa

    Any ssuggestions for transfers? Personally thinking fabianski to panti and naylor to demi for aa -4. Have 0.6 in the bank.

  19. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Starting Yun this time! 😆

    Chester ➡ Demi, LR.

    1. A Defender's Nightmare

      @ LR

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      0.1 short for that 🙁

  20. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Which one of these combos for the next few gameweeks ...

    A. Yaya and rotating Kane/Austin (BUR, lei,CPL, SWA, bur), 352
    B. Rooney and Austin, 343
    C. Bony and Giroud, 343

    Easy to choose or too difficult to say...?

    Thanks!

  21. A Defender's Nightmare

    If I want a GK now, I'd go Panti.

      I went for Hart

    3. Patty

      9 years, 4 months ago

      he's got the highest save percentage in the league

    1. Scoredelario

      My tip is don't gamble, kids 😀

      I used to actually say that when I worked at a bookies. Boss didn't really approve.

      He could have had a hat trick if not for De Gea

      But having Pool playera right now looks so unappealing

        yet, once again their fixtures are inviting. The siren song they sing for the FPL players.

      I'm not sure.

      Which gets more points out of own goals and red cards?

    6. Arvin-ation

      Lukaku please. He's my captain.

    I'm in the states and trying to get a better handle on when price changes go down.

    Typical London time of changes?

    Can a player change more than .1 in a day?

    Players can change before GW is over right?

    Is this the best site to monitor PC's? http://totalfpl.com/

    Thx for any feedback.

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It used to be. Now there are other sites, but I don't even bother monitoring them anymore.

      http://fantasyfootballfix.com/ is one of the best sites for price changes now.

      Typically it changes around 1:42am London time.

      A player can't change by more than 0.1 in a day.

      Yes price change happen any day of the week

    Does Arsenal have good record at Anfield? Thinking Sanchez (C)...

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Though opponents were easy peasy but Liverpool have good record at home this season conceding only 6 times in 8 games.

        This!

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

          This is Sanchez though. He needs to remind Liverpool why he turned them down for Arsenal 😀

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

      Forget about the records:

      A) Sanchez hasn't played there before.
      B) Liverpool are a whole new entity right now

      Out of the big guns he'd be my captain pick. Otherwise I might go for a cheaper player with a good fixture like Austin or Sakho

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A) Sanchez doesn't give one, where he is, he just motors and provides.

        B) They are an entity for sure. Did I mistakenly enter into the SOly of FPL?

    I thought I was out of the Paddy Cup after Saturday..but Sunday has turned the table!!

    Me right now: 89 points with Rangel to come off from bench

    Opponent (who's OR is 630) : Taking and hit and bench into consideration 79 points with Baines left!!

    I have surely qualified for the third round right?!?

    Will be rooting for a QPR goal tonight!!

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years

      gonna be tight but you should be just about OK

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

      Any idea what it is based upon if you tie? It looks like I need Caulker to get 2 points tonight and I tie any more and I win. A Caulker goal would be spiffing but somehow I feel negative points are more likely

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

        OR

  29. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Stupid but....who wins? 😀

    A) 65

    B) 49 + Lukaku(C) + Mirallas

    Cheers

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B, can see Lolkaku getting around 8 pts and Mirallas at least 2-3

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

      Could be either really tbh
