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.

    Who is playing up front for city?

    Silva?

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

      Milner

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

        lol just sounds silly

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Didn't Silva too? And Yaya the last 15 mins?

    3. Just A Hat
      • 14 Years

      Zabeleta

    4. Pointsonthebench
      • 9 Years

      Milner. But Silva's runs into the box seemed alot more frequent and arguebly he is in a better position to score that Milner.

    Note to all those who are mouse-happy - hold off until after tonight.

    Costa/Haz/Fabs/Def could snap their legs.

      I wonder why you are England's coach really 😆

      I won't be doing any transfers before I see who I'm facing in the fpl cup

    Siggy > ?

    A. Sterling
    B. Eriksen
    C. Mata
    D. Someone else (and if so who)

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

      Already have Downing

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

      Mata or Sterling for me.

      Sterling is more solid pick with ADM coming back.

    3. citizen_kane
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen by far. Mata is way too risky.

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

      Cazorla

      1. Woy
        • 10 Years

        this

    5. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Silva, Yaya or Milner?

      Hold for one game?

    Willis is, perhaps surprisingly, right about Alexis. At the moment, he is pulling Arsenal down with him.

    1. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Theo in for Alexis would be a beautiful yet belated Xmas present

        Aye. 🙂

      2. Guy Demel's SH
        • 11 Years

        Theo loves to score against us though 🙁

        1. Jimbo123
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Hopefully he'll play QPR and be rested for our game 😉

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

      You think he could be benched against QPR? Strongly considering short term move for Silva to double up on ManC midfield

    3. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos

      Morning Doos,

      Do you have a sweet table to show this? 🙂

  5. SweeSwee

    Downing > Sterling for a hit is crazy right?

    1. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah

      None?

            Played quite ok yesterday. Coutinho was good, bur him I would never buy. Sterling is temting, his pace is unreal

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Zabaleta. But I am looking at Hart.

            • 12 Years

        Lol

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

      Kolo or Skrtel

    7. Mr.K
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Škrtel

      But I would stay far away from Liverpool defense and I'm a Liverpool fan.

  8. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    McCarthy to Pants or save?

    Other keeper is Guzan

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

      Good transfer if no other issues.

      Panti is in amazing form and Sunderland defensively are doing well

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

    ADM due back against Newc?

    1. 1314
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      likely

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

    Can anyone who watched the man city game give me an insight into how Nasri and Silva played? I've seen their stats aren't too dissimilar although obviously Silva got two goals. Is it worth using a free transfer to do Nasri to Silva or shall I just stick with Nasri?

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

      I would switch to Silva for free

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

      Nasri had a poor game. Silva and Toure both missed some good chances. Yaya looked quite poor up until his goal, Silva, although not outstanding, was pretty lively. I'd personally get in Silva out of all of them. I'm keeping hold of Toure til ACoN as he seems to nick goals even when not playing particularly well.

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

        i thought yaya did ok

        he had 5 shots, and almost set zaba up for another goal

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

          Totally agreed. And I think Nasri played good as well! However I would go for Silva from those two

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

            when the cross from Kolovo came in, yaya was behind silva, so i think either would do jus fine

            i was burnt by silva for four gw...hate it

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

      Nasri was slightly better, Silva was the luckier one in FPL terms. Silva more advanced though.

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

      Isn't Silva on pens assuming Kun, Yaya , Kolarov not on pitch? Considering there is a good chance those 3 wont be (injury, suspension / ACN, rotation respectively) plus I think Silva is better of 2 all round, I would take Silva every time.

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

      tough, I would stick - Nasri wanted a goal but couldnt get the end product.

      If Jovetic is back, it will probably reduce Silvas appeal but he is a very good player - shame you have nasri over him anyway

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

      Silva was making more runs into the box.

  11. FionnMac
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    1FT and £1.0m in the bank. Thoughts plz lads?

    Hart
    Baines Chambers Wisdom
    Hazard Fabregas Sanchez Siggy
    Costa Bony Austin

    Bench - Marney, Duff, Yun

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

      Duff > O'Shea?

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Duff or Yun to a Villa or Sunderland defender. Play said defender over Wisdom

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

      Baines > Zaba

  12. Jimbo123
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    With a few good days rest until Boxing Day, do we not think that it's the games on 28th more likely to be affected by rotation?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yes and also new years

    2. Van Dal
      • 14 Years

      most def

  13. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ok forgt Liverpool defenders - who is likely to play the next three in city defence?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hart. Double with Zaba if you can 😉

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

        zaba nailed on?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No but he's the best bet. Hart is the only one nailed on

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

      this

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Going by Pelle's usual way of managing this - I'd say that its unlikely any will play all 3. Matches on the 26th and the 1st may well have the same back line, but these may be a completely different back 4 to the 28th and the cup match. The only hope, I think, is that Kompany stays injured in which case one of the CBs might get a consistent run.

  14. A guy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Downing or Siggy out for Maria?

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

      None?

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

      Siggy

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

      You have better options than ADM atm but Siggy

  15. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    1FT and 2.7M banked.

    DDG
    Clyne Clichy Hutton
    Hazard(C) Sanchez Siggy Yaya
    RVP Austin Sakho

    Hamer Boyd Wisdom Yun

    Thoughts please on the three options below..

    1 - Sakho--->Kane/Benteke/Giroud
    2 - Siggy--->Silva/Cazorla
    3 - Yun--->OShea

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

      2 Silva

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

      2

  16. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Need 14pts from Hazard and Costa to hit 100 for the gameweek. Trouble is many others have them as captain and with no Che defs it would mean a rank drop if they do it. First world problems eh? 😉

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

  17. SuperMario
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Morning all, landed into work thinking I had Austin captain all weekend and when I check my team its on Bony..!! OUCH..
    On the positive side I've had 4 green arrows in a row since playing my WC and moved from 950k to 250k in a month.. Austin (c) would have been the icing on the cake as I was been written off by mates..

    Foster
    Baines . Azpill . Naylor (Hutton . Yun)
    Hazard (c) . Sanchez . Eriksen . Downing (Boyd)
    Austin . Costa (vc) . Bony

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

      I have 2FT and 0.5 in the bank..
      What would one be looking to do??

      Was thinking about giving Baines and Sanchez this gw then selling for Man City cover!

      1. Mr.K
        • 10 Years

        This sounds like an idea I could steal.

      9 years, 4 months ago

      Feel sorry for Bony captainers. He was a solid pick but some tinkering by Monk has caused a pain.

      He'll do well on Boxing Day though.

  18. Teror

    Do any of you walk around the house in a chugging motion repeating "Yayayayayayayyayayayayyayayayayayayyaya Toooouuuurrrreeeeeee", as if you were a train?

    And I mean one of those old kind of steam engine locomotives rather than one of these fancy Dan Japanese trians that float above magnetic rails.

    1. Skokym
      • 10 Years

      No?

  19. MadridistaRants
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Could do with some help lads. Wanna transfer out Siggy but not sure who to replace him with.

    Siggy > Cazorla/Nasri/Eriksen/Sterling?

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

      Ive got Eriksen and am happy with him for this week.
      Sterling fixtures and position looks good but form is crap for Pool.
      Nasri - no
      Cazorla is in form too

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

        I was thinking of going with Eriksen myself but it would be a 1 week punt. Don't expect him to do much against United & Chelsea.

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

          Yes agreed, if he blanks this week its an easy transfer to Man City mid next week

  20. Van Dal
    • 14 Years

    Time to stop knee jerking up and upgrading bench fodder to nailed on players over this period.

    Clichy replacement?

  22. FISSH
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez looked worryingly bad yesterday

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

      we have to give him QPR then maybe reassess!

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

        Could be rested? Perfect game for that.

    2. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      playing against good team..expect him to do well against leaky qpr defense

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

        Liverpool's defence is more leaky than QPR's

        1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          😆

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm

  23. FionnMac

    Are we waiting for news on Siggy or just getting rid?

    1. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years

      Keeping myself.

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 4 months ago

      Waiting

    3. Bojaninho
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      get rid now, you will only want him back when Bony leaves, probably keeping

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

      Austin, Downing, Terry, Heaton

    7. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      George Boyd

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

      Those who are nailed for a start...Bony, Benteke, Austin and the like. Most of our premium picks are a bit iffy one way or another.

    9. Pointsonthebench

      Hazard.

  28. Kroos Kontrol
    • 11 Years

    Since I can't do Siggy > Downing/Sakho > Austin without doing another transfer.

    Thinking Sakho Clyne Siggy > Milner JT Austin for a hit.

    Team is Guzan/Alnwick - Clyne/Naylor/Vergini/Hutton/Yun - Hazard/Yaya/Sanchez/Siggy/Boyd - Rooney/Costa/Sakho. Been floundering for the past 2 weeks, just inside 20k.

    1. Kroos Kontrol
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I mean I can't do the above two transfers without doing a third since they are 0.1 over the budget.

  29. Tornado

    Chadli -> Silva or fabregas?

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

      Silva

  30. DVassell
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Baines + Yun > Zaba + Debuchy for free?

    Current team:

    ___________Guzan____________
    Baines____Azpilicueta___Dummett
    Siggy__Sanchez_Hazard____Yaya
    Austin_____Benteke_______Costa

    Subs: Elliot, Downing, Wisdom, Yun
