The Big Numbers – Midfielders – Last Four Gameweeks

After delving into the Gameweek 5-8 data for Defenders yesterday afternoon, we now set our sights on the midfielders. Arsenal’s in-form duo arrive under analysis, whilst we also cast an eye over City and West Ham’s summer signings and analyse the recent displays of Southampton’s wide men as the fixtures turn in their favour.

    NFL referees are almost as bad as UEFA ones. How is that not roughing the passer on Walden on that last play?

      I'll never forget the Fail Mary, one of the shoddiest calls I've ever seen in sports. The NFL is ridiculous at this point.

        Did you see the play on Monday that basically cost the Lions the game? Embarrassing for the integrity of the league.

        1. Zasa

          Just saw it. Wow 😆 That should have been a first down since it was punched in the end zone right?

          Pats & Seahawks 😆

      aguero just pulled his hamstring.......
      so much for that 25 points haul

    1467 transfers out for Aguero so far..

    A lot of people may be forced in to a U Turn.
    Anybody here shift him yet..

    Lukaku, Pelle, Costa, Bony likely replacements..

    1. ZombieEaten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No rush. Can stomach some drops to find out for sure.

    Noo kun Why did you do this? :'(

    1. Sz21

      Why did Argentina do this!

  4. Shifty

    Can see some AoA chips being used effectively this week with a hit or two if Aguero is out.

    1. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Why this week?
      I dont get it

      1. Shifty
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Aguero to Pelle/Lukaku frees up some good change for a midfielder/3rd striker upgrade for a one week AoA punt I guess.

        1. Sz21
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Possibly.. but the fixtures dont seem favourable for this kind of move.
          Maybe a DGW would be better.

  5. M8
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Waiting. Don't have a clue who I'll replace him with though. We'll certainly be seeing a few captain differentials next week

    1. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He helped me move up over a Million in Rank this last GW..
      Maybe this injury could be a blessing in disguise tho to move further up the rankings faster with more differentials.

      Saying that it could be a disaster! Haha
      It opens things up a bit either way for good or bad.

    anyone else think that Benteke could be sold next summer? doesn't fit Klopp's style at all

    1. dmhomag
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He's Klopp's Lewandowski.

      1. sinik

        he's not remotely as multidimensional

          Klopp apparently wanted him at Dortmund.

  7. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    thinking its Kun > Pelle/Lukaku/Studge once we hear official news

      I think there's "captain crunch - cereal killer" or something like that

  9. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero- Pelle with my 1ft gives me 7 million in the bank..
    What am I supposed to with that.

    Westwood to Wally and AOA or something?

    1. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Payet, Silva, Sanchez, Mahrez, Westwood
      Aguero, Pelle, Ighalo.

      Aguero to Pelle
      Westwood to Wally -4

      Assuming Aguero is out how about these moves with an AOA?

      1. Sz21
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Getting ahead of myself.
        Pelle should be Martial on the team sheet.

  10. De-spee comme Agüero

    So Aguero is definitely out?

        A friend who was leading one of my minileagues for most of the season didn't have Aguero last week and rage transferred him in on Saturday night for a hit. I bet the poor little lamb's arse is twitching now.

  12. Angin out the Begović

    If you had to pick one?

    Hoolahan Or Lanzini

      Hoolahan, crucial point of their attack.

    Worst part about this injury to Aguero is the inpact it will have on Silva.
    KDB owners will be happy tho Id say..

    Silva does a lot better with a fully fit Aguero it seems.

  14. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Just saw the highlights, hammy injury, not looking good. Hope I'm wrong

    1. Jandal Tan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently (not sure if its true) Otamendi said that Aguero had been crying in the dressing room after the injury...

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cue, we all wrong, he bangs in 6 goals vs Bournemouth

      2. Four Four Boyz

        You can't make that stuff up. Oh wait, someone probably did.

        Just read the update. You must be a Kun owner. Stay strong.

    2. Xna
      • 8 Years

      naah, if you captained him on his 5 goals, you're good D there are those who didn't have him and bought him now, deforming their teams to bring him, they need a hug 😀

      1. BearHug
        • 8 Years

        Haha yeah.

    1. Four Four Boyz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hmm this gives me a little more hope. He didn't pull up in agony, actually carried on running and then only held on after ball went out of play.

      1. Xna
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        this is all fake so he could rest for bournemouth :O

        1. Four Four Boyz
          • 11 Years

          Aguero (c)

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It removed all hope for me tbh.. the way he pulled up and held his thigh and then tried moving and then just collapsed. After seeing him do this every season since 2011 i got to say i'm very worried

        1. Root
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          It just baffles me how fragile he is.

  16. Huddersfield
    • 8 Years

    Did anyone notice O'shea CS vs Germany

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yep. Messed up my accumulator.

  17. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Any news on Kun's injury?
    For how long will he be out?

    And in case its a long term injury, who's the best replacement for him?
    I already have Vardy and Pelle.

    Is it Lukaku? Sturridge? D.Costa?

    1. Four Four Boyz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nobody knows anything. Don't act in haste.

    2. BearHug
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Get Lukaku in so we can enjoy the price rise together.

      1. 32chickens

      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      None have good fixs. Lukakaaaaa has the form. Glad I'm on my WC. Probably a decent mid for VW and AOA chip if Kun out.

  18. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    now... kdb or Sanchez captain ?

    1. BearHug
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez (C)

      de Bryune (VC)

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pelle (C)

  19. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    People with WC still left...
    If Aguero is out for a bit would you use your WC to get him out and make a new team without him?
    or swap him out for a hit/free and use the WC later to get him in when he is fit? 🙂

    1. Marknlard
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If I was on WC, I'd wait and see how he's doing. If it looks like three gameweeks out then I'd transfer him out and reinvest the money.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm waiting until next Friday to decide whether to play the WC or not.. not really bothered about price rises. Agreed though.. 3 weeks and he is out for me. The question is whether to play the WC to get rid and reinvest or take a hit to get rid and play my WC when he returns to get him back in without having to restructure my team.. gonna be tricky

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          How about upgrading your 5th mid and playing 3-5-2 if he's out for a while?

        2. Marknlard
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Depending on how he is of course, but if I were you I'd take the hit now to get rid of him as Lukaku/Pelle (whoever you get) is going to earn that back. Slowly reinvest and play the WC when you want him again.

    2. Coldplay
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Him to Igloo and 4.5 mid to De Bruyne sounds like a plan for a hit. Don't think I'd be using my WC.

    3. Phaze 1
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Currently playing my WC. If he's out for 2 weeks (will only miss 1 league game) then I'll swap him out with money in the bank to bring him in for free. If hes out for 3+ then I'll make a new team and hopefully be able to save 2FT to bring him in for free later.....

  20. I Member
    • 8 Years

    Begovic
    Kolarov, Williams, Dawson
    Hazard, Ozil, Payet, Mahrez
    Aguero*, Pelle, Diouf*

    McCarthy, Ritchie, Richards, Targett

    Pretty confident and comfortable about taking a hit. Thinking Aguero + Diouf -> Costa + Lukaku. Anything better there? Maybe a Ritchie upgrade?

              you seen loftus cheek live?
              you know when you see a player live who stands out,has that extra time on the ball,knows where to play it before he gets it,and then can roll like a yaya in his pomp tank-if he gets a run in the team he'll stay there

        2. La Roja

    what if aguero is out for a few months

    i was thinking on

    a) aguero > Pelle, drinkwater> eriksen
    b) aguero > lukaku, Drinkwater > mane

    any other ideas are welcomed

  24. Sushant

    Aguero injured...looks like wildcarding this week has paid off !!

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not if he is fit after this GW!!

    2. Scumthorpe
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nahhhhh he is not injured...... it's a conspiracy by the CIA so that everyone will sell him, his price will go down and destabilise the worlds economy

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Same boat! Especially good if its a tear and he is out for 4-6 weeks! I hope he is out for long...Manutd can draw against City then

  25. Sushant
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Now looking for a front 8 of

    Cabaye - KDB - Sanchez - Eriksen - Payet

    Vardy - Pelle - Sturridge

    1. Four Four Boyz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Corr blimey. Amazing what that Aguero cash can do with the rest of the team.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Not really, huge benching headache there

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Poor team considering u will have points on bench...

  26. Four Four Boyz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    In positive news this might, just might, stop people from transferring out Gomez giving another week to hold on and see if he will make a miraculous return to the team under Klopp. Silver lining.

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero >> anyone
      Gomez >> anyone
      Westwood >> anyone

    Any Kun owners with a used FT or a hit?

    It's always risky to make transfers before internationals. Never a fan of it, sod price rises.

      Martial >> Pelle looks stupid now with my FT

        Must admit it is

        Not because only Kun injury but Martial looked fantastic vs Gunnerz.

          Believe me man as far this season has started, I have everything but luck on my side! So bad start that my goal has been reduced to top 10k finish rather than 1k i had aimed at the start

    I know its an international break and all but the worst thing you can do is knee-jerk Aguero out now. Wait for news, for all we know he might only be out for 1 game.

      This

      Goes without saying, eh? 😉

      Saving those FT's in the IB is so crucial.

        A FT and money in the bank is no good to you if Aguero is out short term as you won't replace him.

      What ?!

      Take the common sense approach ?

      On here?!

      Have you been drinking Ryan 😉

        Of course. We love Wales in NZ. They beat England and Gatland is a kiwi

          I kinda knew the answer to that already, I just wanted to hear you say it 🙂

            All the best, should be a great match, the aussies are in form.

              Yeah, they are looking sharp.

              Good scrum, excellent backs.... but at least Hooper is banned.

          And we have Gareth Anscombe playing at full back due to injuries.

          Ex Waikato Chief of course 🙂

            Of course, great player. His dad used to coach Northland, the provincial team I support back home.

              Ahh, I see.

              I would have preferred Liam Williams at full back if I am homer but, we have only 2 fit wingers and less centres so Geroge has been pushed inside form the wing, and Liam switched With Halpenny injured also.

                I'll be interested to see how he goes, NZ rugby was sad to see him go. I would have liked him to stay as a fly half or full back at the blues but nevermind.

                  He highly rated over with you guys isn't he?

                  He hasn't really taken off yet in Cardiff, it the team is struggling and he's been hit by a few injuries in fairness.

                    He was a natural talent when he left. Its up to him to fulfil it.
