The Big Numbers – Gameweek 22

Our first members article of the week arrives this afternoon as we take our usual delve into the previous Gameweek’s data.

We start by assessing Olivier Giroud’s impact on the goal threat of Alexis Sanchez, at a time where Chelsea’s midfield big-hitter is failing to impress. Elsewhere, Liverpool’s resurgent Brazilian, Sergio Aguero’s recent barren streak and West Ham’s new-found source of creativity all come under analysis ahead of Gameweek 23.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Do you think Wimmer will start in the next 4-5 games?

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Should do

    Foster Pickford
    Alonso Rose Jones Pieters Amat
    Sanchez Lallana Pogba Phillips Capoue
    Ibrahimovic Giroud Defoe

    I have two free transfers and 2.1m in the bank.

    Thinking I need some Spurs in my team. Suggestions?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lallana to Eriksen/Alli ??

      1. Shirokov(c)
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Looks the best move doesn't it?

        Any preference between the two?

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          don't know I have both
          Both are good options and it could be either one who burst in points at any time so just make a choice and Stick with it I guess

  5. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Looking for some ideas
    Not doing any moves but Would Like to have Kane and Brunt soon in so throw some combinations .
    I might also just Stick with what I have if anyone convinces me.

    Heaton/Grant
    Alonso/ Rose/ Baines/ Jones/ Chambers
    Sanchez/ Eriksen/ Alli/ Phillips/ De Roon
    Ibra / Lukaku / Giroud

    Note --Will not get Kane if Giroud continues to Start 😉

    1.0 million itb at this moment

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years

      I dont think it is worth loosing Eriksen or Alli for Kane if they keep bringing in the points. You got them pretty cheap and it would cost 2 transfers. If they keep the form up stick with them they will come handy once Liverpool's fixtures ease out and you want a double Pool mids.

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐

        cheers ..Will look how things pan out

    Owning Giroud isn't fun.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Why?

      1. greghammer95
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Mainly, transferred him in for Costa and -4 when he was going to China. Found this out when I was tipsy on a Friday evening so panic transfer.

        Basically, he hasn't produced where I thought he would.

        1. Shirokov(c)
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          In the same boat as you.

        2. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I personally think he should be dropped and brought on as a Dzeko-esque supersub. Wenger will keep up front though.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He will always be an unreliable donkey. But sell him after Watford

  7. sindz
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Sell Lallana or Cout? Rest of mid is Sanchez Alli and Philips

    1. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If you have both I'd sell Lallana, more options around that price bracket (Antonio/Mirallas etc) obviously you can transfer Cout to one of them but you might not need the extra funds, unless of course you want to upgrade elsewhere then Coutinho.

      I think Cout is worth the little bit extra on Lallana. Everyone saying he's got poor fixtures but its 50% decent fixtures! (So does Lallana though). Basically I like coutinho so sell Lallana.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      See how tonight goes.

    3. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lallana is going down and Countinho will go up again once he bags his first goal. Coutinho has had a rest too. I'd sell Lallana.

  8. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    .4 short of Daniels to Baine. Are there any hits worth taking to squad below to get him? I cannot see any obvious options. I could go Brunt instead and double up with WBA or just play as is.

    A Stick
    B Daniels to Brunt
    C Daniels to Baines and ??

    Heaton (Pickford)
    Alonso Daniels Nyom (Yoshida Holgate)
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Phillips (De Roon)
    Zlatan Costa Kane

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      Stick. Use 2FTs to get Baines/Coleman in next GW

  9. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Right, I'm sticking with Eden for now...

    Look G2G? Subs right? Thanks 🙂

  10. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which one?

    A) Play Smith instead of Phillips
    B) Play Smith instead of Rondon
    C) Bench Smith and play Phillips + Rondon

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

  11. Shirokov(c)
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How about Pogba and Lallana to Alli and Eriksen?

    2 fts

    1. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Pogba for this week at least? Bring one of Alli or Eriksen in for Lallana and look at the rest of your team.

  12. St. Joseph
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Keep aguero

    Or

    Swap to zlatan vs hull?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Very similar quality of fixtures, go with your gut

    2. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Keep until Gw26 then bring Kaku in.

      Aguero Vs West Ham is like Drogba vs Arsenal/

      1. St. Joseph
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Food for thought.
        Cheers.

    3. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'd swap.

  13. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else giving Eriksen the armband?

    1. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ballsy, not for me though when Sanchez is such a stand out option and arguably Ibra too.

      Sunderland haven't been THAT bad and Spurs weren't great against City. Can't see it being the walkover everyone thinks it'll be but maybe I'm just hoping Alli/Kane/Walker/Rose keep quiet.

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Can't compare City to Sunderland and Sunderland have just sold Van Anholt and brought in a player responsible for more goals leading to errors than any other player in English league

        1. greghammer95
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Not convinced that Lescott will start, although having said that who will replace the pair of them? Whoever it is they'll be looking to make an impression. Not for me still but can see the argument.

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

      Between him and Alli but on Alli for now

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going kane I think but Eriksen alli Sanchez ibra all good options this week green/red arrow will depend on captain I think

  14. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What's everyone doing with ibra and any other Man U players for gw26?

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ibra to Costa maybe or Lukaku, I'll monitor him until Gw25 and decode then

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I've got ibra and Valencia thinking of waiting til after gw25 and getting Costa and Coleman

    2. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What's special about United players in GW26?

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        They don't play if they beat Hull tomorrow night

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably Ibra to Lukaku as have. Costa and Kane already

    1. greghammer95

      Interesting survey. Please note: I answered the Star Players question based upon West Ham still owning Payet.

    2. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Done. Cool topic. What do you study? Mine was a 6th league team and I no longer live in the area (or even the country) and obviously can't watch them on the tele.

  16. greghammer95

    GTG?

    De Gea (HUL)
    Jones (HUL) Alonso (liv) McAuley (mid)
    Phillips (mid) San(C)hez (WAT) Eriksen (sun) Coutinho (che)
    Ibra (HUL), Giroud (WAT), Rondon (mid)

    Bench: Jaku. PVA, Puncheon, Yoshida

    0.7 ITB - 1FT

    I'm going to bring in either Funes Mori or Baines for PVA, leaves me stuck though as I'd want to play Baines but not sure who I'd bench. Funes Mori would most likely be 1st sub. HELP?!?

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If Southampton win tonight, your gonna be missing a lot of players in Gw26 and 28

      1. greghammer95
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Plans are there to get rid of Giroud/De Gea in the coming weeks. Have a strong defense of McAuley, Alonso & (Everton Defender) for GW26 anyways where I'll be missing two. Then Ibra and Sanchez which isn't ideal but might be time to get someone else in by then, or time to ship Phillip Jones

    Suggestions!!: Use 2 FTs or Save??

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Seems a waste to carry 2FT but Amat is the only one I'd look to change now and you have nothing ITB...

    2. Beautiful Game
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      your 2 FTs will not be carry forwarded to next GW. only 1 FT is carry forwarded. so you have to make a transfer or you will loose 1 FT.

      1. nikush
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        ohh..
        thanks.. I was totally unaware of it..

        what about doing Stanislas->Tom Davies ( a Hot Cake in 4.4 mil)

    3. Pep says
      • 8 Years

      Amat to Holgate if you can. Don't let a FT go to waste

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Team looks OK. A positional move Amat to Holgate my only suggestion

  21. The Tinkerman

      Go the overall league standings and go the page 2. Then in the URL change page 2 to:
      (50 teams per page so)
      Page 20 = 1,000
      Page 200 = 10,000
      etc etc

    Better option and why?

    A) Gray

    B) Carroll

    Not looking at them this week maybe next week if I want to get rid of Giroud.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Carroll won't have any blank in 28, Burnley might

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yea that's one reason I'm considering still have one gameweek to decide hopefully he's fit and can give me an audition.

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

      In that price range Llorente might be better option. Carroll does seem to have possible injury and Burnley not great fixtures (a lot away where form poor). Of your options however Carroll more likely to get a haul is my feeling but a risk

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Swansea have some tough fixtures in the next few weeks. I might get Carroll and then shift to Llorente after their fixtures ease out.

    1. Beautiful Game

      Lukaku and Zaha.
      But if I have to choose between A and B, I would say A.
      Man city have a good fixture and Zaha returning

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would have put in the extra couple of quid to have a starting player instead of Campbell . I think your defence is too strong and your midfield is a bit weak with Stan and Phillips .

      1. Guba
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Agree with this slightly, I like the team but I think I'd be considering swapping Cedric for someone like holegate to free up cash while also playing in gw26+28

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          That's my plan, and Campbell to Stuani for GW 28. Then maybe Ibra to Lukaku/Costa and Erik/Alli to Siggy all for gw28. Then Stan to Coutinho or similar price player after the blanks

            Very similar moves you're considering to me then, I'll also very likely be doing Ibra -> Lukaku for gwk26 and Eriksen -> Siggy gwk27 (want Bur(H))

            Good luck to us both!
