The Big Numbers – Gameweek 24

1,503 Comments
Share

Our final Tuesday evening article delves into members’ data, as we take our usual scan of some of the standout numbers over the weekend’s ten fixtures.

We compare Gabriel Jesus’ displays with those of Sergio Aguero at Manchester City and check up on the recent performances of Swansea City’s and Manchester United’s in-demand midfielders.

The impact of Philippe Coutinho since returning from injury comes under the spotlight, while we also analyse the frontmen at Everton and Crystal Palace after a weekend of wildly contrasting fortunes.

    Anyone going to gamble on a Hull midfielder to replace sanchez.

    I can see hull winning 2/3 and sure it is pot luck who gets the points. Less to loose than at first glance.

    I can not get Barkley as I have 2 everton defenders and need to leave space for lukaku

        Very good shout, I still don't know how we are rotating Willian/Pedro though. I did suspect we'd play Willian against Liverpool cause they are really bad at set pieces and he is one of the best in the squad after Fabregas. Apart from that, no clue really.

          The way I am reading it is as follows. Pedro is the more attacking player. Whoever pedro is named in the starting team then it will be an attacking team. Willian appears better defensively. I was surprised to see Willian playing against Liverpool. In a way it easy a show of respect to Liverpool. When I sawait pedro start against Arsenal it meant one thing. They would be going for it. Pedro backfired badly against Spurs but there were other issues that day also.

          So pedro appears nailed against teams chelsea aim at bringing down. Think willian will start against man city but time will tell. Therefore Pedro should be nailed for the next 4/5 starts

          Wishful thinking maybe as I own him too

    Worth getting Brunt in just before 26 for Bournmouth at home then Crystal Palace at home for a hit? Will double up with Gaz Mac. No one in my 2 ML has him!

      I would. I got him for a hit last week and it paid off. I think he is probably the 3rd best defender in the game for me and I've been wanting him for ages I just haven't had the transfers available so I used the fixtures and blanks as an excuse to pull the trigger -4

          It's extremely unlikely he'll ever make up the missed opportunity points I've lost by sticking by him.
