The Big Numbers – Gameweek 22

Our first members article of the week analyses a number of key statistics from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City’s midfield and strikers and also assess Watford’s out-of-sorts attack as the Hornets struggle for a cutting edge.

    Who would you start? Moreno or Bellerin?

    1. Demí
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Moreno

    2. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Bellerin

    Just reading Bonkers hot-topic. Watford 33/1 for relegation. Looks a decent back-to-lay bet

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Even at them odds I think you're being a bit mad

      1. Demí
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Really? Not far from the relegation mix, an injury to Ighalo or Deeney and their struggling. Often a side that plummets after a good start to the season, Newcastle last year? Still have to play Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, West Ham and Crystal Palace away from home

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Last season Hull came 18th with 35 points, let's say the safety score for Watford is 38. That's 9 points in 16 games.

          Amrabat now gives them cover for a forward injury, they have a very strong defence which has been massive for them, they won't even be in the running imo

        8 years, 3 months ago

        In terms of what Demi is saying its really not that mad.

        The likelihood of relegation for Watford is slim but if you take a view that they will struggle a bit more in the second half of the season those odds will shorten so you could lay for a free bet at relegation or 'cash out' to make a profit on the market whether they do or not due to simply playing the market.

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I don't bet at all so this is not something I understand

          1. Hibbo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            It was a bit like backing strikers in the top scorer market when Aguero got injured.

            All the other strikers were going to score goal when he was out thus their prices would shorten.

            Then trade out for either a free bet or guaranteed profit whichever you fancy doing.

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      1 point in their last 5 games

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        its quite a good bet imo

    3. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I think I might just stick a quick tenner on that 🙂

      Well, there's free money there right now.

    @Sess! Thanks for the answer on the last article, I might look to pick the pair up on the far side of the blank gameweek soon.

      😆

  5. Team Cruel

    Article of the year imo

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I feel like we get similar enjoyment

  6. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    That 108.1 stat will be a lot lower after this weekend.

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I reckon it'll go to 97.8

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        😉

  7. Japan Boy
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I'm surprised no-one is talking about Henderson more

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      What's the appeal?

      1. Japan Boy
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Guaranteed starter for a team who create a lot of chances, have good fixtures, set piece taker and cheap

        1. Jazz!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Great shout but not a top top pick ATM. Will get him in for pool DGW though I'm sure.

          1. Japan Boy
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            One goal and he'll be on everyone's radars that's for sure

    2. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If GW25 is a DGW and Liverpool reach C1C Final then he could have DGW in 25. So I have HIM ON MY RADAR and I have saved transfer to accommodate this. Think he may be a good diff and his stats aint too bad.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        It's a big IF atm.

  8. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Defoe or Ighalo? ?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Defoe

  9. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Mahrez > Silva being given a booster...

  10. Wild Rover

    There are some VERY big numbers there.. Smaller type please 😉

  11. Rhinos

    love this article, has reinforced my transfer

      Not a member. Who's the big topic?

      1. L S P

        Rooney.

        All Rooney, All The Time.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Ryan Mason.

        How big the numbers are.

        1. mad_beer ✅
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Too big apparently.

      4. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Lee Cattermole. May even triple cap him

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I dunno it's close. I might go for Chieck Tiote.

  12. The Raging Bull
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    It hurts to see Silva and KDB in the same side, the former would be a points machine if latter wasn't on the field.

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Silva will be a points machine now... Watch

      1. The Raging Bull
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        i'm not so sure, big fan of his, watching City play, KDB just wants to hit a hollywood pass or cross, which takes Silva out of the equation.

  13. The Curse of Falcao
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Reports tonight in Spain are claiming Tottenham have made a £23m bid for Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez.

      1. The Curse of Falcao
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Tottenham want another striker to take pressure off Harry Kane but Marca says Atletico are unwilling to let Martinez leave for less than the £26.6m they paid for him in the summer.

        Will be interesting too see what happens with this one, if it happens gonna be manic on here IF it happens.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      May as well buy Benteke off Liverpool or £20m..

      1. The Curse of Falcao
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        By Martinez's current form yeah lol

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ben Yedder more likely.
      Though if I were in Ben Yedders shoes I'd look elsewhere.

      1. The Curse of Falcao
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Never seen him play, any good?

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah I sure think so.

  14. scootadee
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    can someone fill me in when the DGW's may be.
    wondering whether to save transfers now or just use them if theres a DGW coming up and therefore would WC before it and BB during it.
    Thanks.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You can only save one do its no big deal. When they are confirmed the site will be talking about nothing else. Chill 🙂

        1. scootadee
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          yeah i know i just thought if there's one in 2 weeks there's no sense me saving a FT because i'd use the WC anyway. thanks

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years

            No probs, but as I said.. Little discussion = no news 😉

    Anyone know the FFS Cup qualifying score?

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      68

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Members or the other one? I've got 68 in the other one, is that enough?

        1. Jazz!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Both.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing official. I worked out 68 and a good OR for both will be close.

      1. Sepp Blattered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Currently chilling on 62.. Hold up since when did the average get so high! (68 is higher than top 10k!)

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Top 10K means little this week.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Ayy lets just drop the average to 62 as a gesture of good will 😉

              • 14 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Average has little to do with it.
              About 800 members and 1500 FFSer beat you.

        2. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Most on here are talking about Kun (C), Daniels and Williams all the time.

  16. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years

    Is the Ighalo/Mahrez/Vardy party over then??

    1. The Raging Bull
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy will bring in steady stream of points.

      You get these sorts of predictions when the whole of FFS owns Agüero lol. (Except bowstring with a realistic one lol)

  20. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Would you prefer:

    KdB, Mahrez and Lukaku

    or

    Silva, Payet and Kane?

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

  21. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Looking at doing Ighalo Walcott and Evans to Kane (4.5 mid) 4.5 defender.

    But which cheapies to go for? Tempted by 4.2 Lindgard since I will never play him, same again for 3.7 Targett.

    1. The Curse of Falcao
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking Targett as well but if he drops back to the bench that a slot in your squad gone

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You'll likely need your squad players to play to navigate the upcoming blank gws that create doubles.

  22. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Benteke & Rangel to Ighalo/Defoe & Baines for -4 sound OK??

  23. Rhys85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Got 2FTs and fancy using them:

    Myhill
    Dier / Bellerin / Moreno
    Alli / KDB / Mahrez / Ozil
    Kane / Aguero / Lukaku
    (Gomes / Gosling / Ward / Williams)

    KDB -> Silva & Mahrez -> Payet look good? I can afford to just do Mahrez -> Payet.

    Cheers

    1. 32chickens
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      play williams and shift mahrez for payet
      and roll the FT to next week-you know it makes sense

            He is, but if Swansea concede, which is highly likely, he won't get any bonus.

    3. Demí
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I think he's been up there as one of the best performing keepers this season. Pantilimon was dropped for Mannone. Should be safe for now

  27. Bøwstring The Carp

  29. Hibbo
