The Big Numbers – Gameweek 17

QPR’s home hitman hogs the array of impressive numbers on show from the weekend, ably assisted by stellar showings from Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Elsewhere in our regular members’ statistical digest, we examine how Man City’s tactical tweaks influenced two of their key midfielders and analyse how a pair of returning United assets are hinting at major hauls as their minutes begin to build.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    got £8.9 mil to blow 😎

    A. Silva (got zabs)
    B. Carzola (got Alexis)
    C. Sterling (pray to God he starts to score)

    what do you reckon? oh, & you can ask me whatever

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

      A easily

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

      A

    3. Mr Blue
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Between A and B for me, the fixtures and form makes it A imo.

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

      A or C

    5. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years

      Ive got an irrational urge to pick Sterling over Silva

      1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        haha, was what I planned last week. but Carzola's form is outstanding. I'm thinking Silva is a one off. everyone easily thinks A. I'll mull over it.

    7. Skipdipper

    For this Friday's games, taking a (-4) to remove Siggy and Lukaku to bring in :

    1. Yaya + Kane, will then (c) Hazard home to WHU
    or
    2. Silva + Giroud, will then (c) Giroud home to QPR

    If you had to pick one ? Thanks !

        Sorry, menar to write B

      Either but you must captain azard

  3. Mr Sarcastic
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    You can tell it's last working days before Christmas.
    FPL page jammed.
    LoL.

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

    DDG (New H)
    Clyne (CRY A) - Cissokho (SWA A) - Jagielka (STK H)
    Fabregas (WHU H) - Yaya (WBA A) - Downing (CHE A) - Eriksen (Lei A)
    Costa (WHU H ) - Lukaku (STK H) - Bony (AVL H)

    Subs: McCarthy-King-Wisdom-Janmaat

    Lukaku is the logical transfer, right? I got 1 free transfer and 1,2 mil in the bank so was thinking Lukaku > Giroud. Clyne got tough fixtures coming up, but decent this week so was thinking about shipping him away next week. Cissokho and Downing got tough fixtures this week, but decent coming up so don't feel any need to transfer them away.

    Thanks for your opinions!

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

      Looks good
      One of the few teams I've seen without Sanchez..
      Transfer def makes sense

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

    Team currently:

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

    1ft and 1m ITB

    Any better transfer than Mirallas to Cazorla?

  6. akamal84
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    is bony to giroud next GW worth -4 hit?

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

      no way

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Probably not as bony has a good fixture too. Plus giroud's next two aren't so great.

      1. akamal84
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        i am so worried about bony's game time given that the african cup is coming closer & monk needs to get gomis in shape

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I think he'll play Bony as much as possible until ACON.

  7. SPorting

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Can't decide which new tech gadgets I want for Xmas.

    Can't decide which restaurant to choose for Xmas.

    Can't decide which transfers to waste my 2FT's on.

    First World Problems.

    Guzan
    Baines, Chambers, Azpi
    Fab, Sanchez, Yaya, Downing
    Costa, Bony, Austin

    Krul, Boyd, Hutton, Chester

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

      A) PS4
      B) Home
      C) Would take the chance to change Krul or get rid of Baines

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

        Might do Chester -> Ben Davies for when the TOT fixtures get juicy.

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

          Chester has some good home games coming

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

          When do the TOT fixtures get juicy though? Looks like a mixed bag to me, GW26 - GW33 they have a nice run, but only one decent home game between now and then I think.

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Great team... Maybe use the opportunity to get rid of chester...or baines

      Or perhaps get Kane for bony for spurs cov

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

        Chester has good fixtures and could be good differential even though Hull is a bit shite

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Its hulls form that concerns me

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

            who would u switch it at the same price range though? Not many options with that kinda fixtures

  8. thorvaldsson
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I maybe late to the party but is going for a big 5 in midfield right now the way to go? Simply asking because Rooney is rubbing me the wrong way.

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think so until jan wc

    2. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Absolutely

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

        Just took a huge tumble and I don’t like it. Thanks guys.

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney rubbing anyone is a disturbing thought

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

      never too late to join the party
      Rooney playing deep is a big turn off

  9. Don CR7
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I have rvp captain for GW 18 .
    is it a good a choice ?????

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah

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

      I think Rooney and RVP are great shouts for (c) vs leaky Newcastle defence

      1. Don CR7
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        so I will give him the last chance this week .

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

          good lad

        2. Better off with a pin and a…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Last chance? His last 5 scores are 10, 2, 13, 11, 2. If you've had him for those games he's done OK for you! He'll probably be my (C) for that game (I'm concerned about Sanchez gametime).

          1. Don CR7
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            no I didn't I bought him GW 17 and put him cap but it was a disaster coz I have silva and Austin within my choice .
            So I hope this GW will be better.
            Sanchez Against Liverpool wasn't good at all, maybe will be rested.

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

    UFPL: Who should I captain tonight: Hazard or Costa?

    1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa imo.

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

    This would be madness to do?
    Rooney, Sanchez -> Rvp, Sterling

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

      Absolutely pointless yes.

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

        how about rooney, siggy -> bony and sterling

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

          Why sterling? Can you get silva instead? I'm probably getting Cazorla who is cheaper than sterling.

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You need arsenal cover v QPR. Maybe leave it a week.

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

    13K casuals got rid of Bony who has Aston Villa at home

    jeez

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

      And likely to he nailed now he's had a rest.

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

      impulsive

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

      Thinking about it, probably clambering to get Austin.

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

        ...who has Arsenal away. World is going mad

    4. andres
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think I am selling after the villa game

  13. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I am pondering swapping Bony for Giroud this week.

    Considering Giroud is playing at home against QPR it seems a no brainer. Bony has Villa at the Liberty though so thats my problem.

    Would this swap be a good one?

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

      see above

    2. akamal84
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      i am considering the same move,but my concern is that giroud never completes 90 minutes

    3. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      For no hit and you had nothing better to do I'd say yes.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Will be a straight swap so no hit for the move.

        Just can't help but think that Giroud might have a decent week against the QPR defence whereas Im not overly sure why Bony only part figured this week.

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

    Either of

    Baines > Zab

    Vlaar > Bavies

    Yaya/Sanchez > Silva/Cazorla

    Costa > Falcao/Giroud/Rooney

    worth a FT

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

      Zabaleta can't be ignored right now im afraid

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

        this, zaba is playing ridiculously attacking

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

        Only turn off is that Baines has STK this weekend, will Zab we rested soon?

        1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          This

          I'm in the same boat.. I'm thinking he will play Boxing Day then Sagna for Home game v Burnley so probably not worth it..

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

          its a mystery with Pellegrini
          See how Stoke play today and then reevaluate
          Everton looks really poor right now

  15. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    When is Costa gonna be rested?

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

      possibly this game

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

        Only just had a rest a couple of weeks back no? Jose said he needs mins on the pitch to get back to his best so I doubt it.

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

          Was that before or after Maureen saying everyone will at least miss one game over the Festive period?

          1. Mr Sarcastic
            • 13 Years

            but that included cup game last week....

      2. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I wouldn't mind a Costa Red card tonight.

        Even though I own him.

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

          how about feck off, he is my captain

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

            ...found out Christine is actually Christian...a ladyboy?

            🙄

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years

                • 14 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                ...you are very aggressive. could only mean Christine...bedroom issues...

                lol

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

        2. Mr Sarcastic
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          That would be easily best result for me too!
          No captain and everyone has him + I want to do some transfers.
          Cue Hazard (c) red after saying this.

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

      when he gets 3 more yc's

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

    5. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      halftime
      think it might depend on the results Chelsea get, they have some tricky fixtures coming up

    6. Mr Sarcastic
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That is The Question.
      Will se what happens tonight, but if he blanks....oooohh so tempted to boot him NOW!

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        For who? Already gone cheap with Kane and Giroud

        1. Mr Sarcastic
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Benteke or Giroud

  16. BooYaKasha
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bertrand + Sanchez + Ayoze >> Naylor + Silva + Giroud (-4)

    Sounds good?

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

      not the Sanchez part?

    2. Caesar, Hot Mustache
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      no! absolutely not, I wouldn't lose Alexis just yet

  17. And we all have legs
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Guzan
    Baines Bavies Terry (Hutton, Duff)
    Hazard Siggy Sanchez Yaya (Boyd)
    Rooney Austin Benteke

    1.2m ITB, 2FTs.

    Not sure what to do here. Want to get rid of Siggy, probably to Sterling. Need 0.3m to make that happen so thinking of downgrading Baines to Zab or Rooney to anyone but I don't really see any options. Also Im a bit worried about minutes for Sterling and Zabaleta.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Much appreciated 🙂

    1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think Zabaleta would hardly get rested, Rodgers is clueless, so he might keep playing Raheem until he passes out. smh
      you could lose baines for Zabaleta & wait to know if Siggy's fit for the Villa game. I've Siggy, I'm keeping

      1. And we all have legs
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Might do this, cheers.

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years

      Rooney >>> Kane -- Boyd >>>> Sterling

      Play Kane this week Austin next 5 man midfield boom

      Your welcome

      1. And we all have legs

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

      tough one
      you can also do Rooney to Bony and then upgrade Siggy

      1. And we all have legs
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Don't want Bony. Mostly away games till he goes ACON. If he wasn't going that would definitely be my move.

  18. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I think this could work:
    siggy/rooney -> sterling and bony

    The problem is then that i don't have any man u players left

  19. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A)Costa and Debuchy/(5.3m defender)
    or B) Bony and Terry??

    1. Patty
      • 9 Years

    Hazard or Sanchez (c)?

    Sanchez has arguably one i the easiest fixtures of the year, however his form isn't the best

    Hazard is at home against a attacking West Ham defence, his form is very good

      See how HAZ plays tomorrow but right now it's on Aazzarr

      he has only blanked 3 out of the last 10
      I'm sticking with Sanchez but I'm totally biased

    I assume Austins ownership took a big leap in the last two days

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

      it did but us owners got feck all as his price is still locked

    Best sunderland defender to get considering the usual factors of price, security of starts and suspension risk?

      • 13 Years

      Oshea

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

      Vergini

    3. Delusional
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      O'shea

    4. Patty
      • 9 Years

      Vergini or O'Shea probably, vergini rotation risk, O'shea 4 yellows, however only 2 more games until the ban is over

        thanks guys, leaning towards o'shea at the moment.
