The Big Numbers – Gameweek 5

Next up this Tuesday evening, we delve into the Opta data from Gameweek 5 in the first members’ article of the week. West Ham and Arsenal’s midfields are put under the microscope, while we also turn our attentions to Tottenham’s attack and Eden Hazard’s form as the fixtures turn against Chelsea.

    On WC if you're keeping Capoue as your 5th mid and benching every week, isn it better to get Fletcher instead and spend the £0.3m profit somewhere else?

    1. Nicks93
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Or play Capoue as 4th mid

    2. Totti
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      no keep capoue as a fourth midfield at least for the coming 5 fixtures

    3. Epic Fail

      No point spending the profit just for the sake of it.

        7 years, 7 months ago

        Well, if the 0.3 allows you to upgrade someone who is in your starter 11, then there is.

      Keep the points scorer, simple maths it's about points points points

    5. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      This. Capoue won't keep his form even if his fixtures are great. People need to understand it

    6. Demí
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I just don't see the extra .3 as enough to make an improvement elsewhere vs the risk of Capoue continuing his form(obviously accounting for a little regression) and proving the best bargain mid at his price.

      1. Krul Runnings
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Agree Demi. But, imo, if that 0.3 allows you to get a 5.5 def instead of a 5 ( or something along these lines) then may as well do it.

        Yeah it feels nice to have a form player as 5th mid but if I'm literally certain il bench him every week might as well save money with Fletch and upgrade a starter

  6. Johnny Drama
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Jakupovic rise tonight.
    You who don't really know if you will go with him, are you getting him in now or paying the extra .1 later when you know who you want?

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You can't coerce me in to helping you get your price rise. I already have him.

    2. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not getting him at all

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Getting Pickford, more likely to keep his place and 2 save points every match

    4. Nicks93
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Have him and will ditch for Pickford if he goes up

            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Yes they can - they're on WC. It's as if he'd never left their team - and a nice tidy 0.1 to spend elsewhere.
