The Big Numbers – Gameweek 28

Our first members’ article of the week takes a look back at the four fixtures that comprised a somewhat reduced Gameweek 28.

Bournemouth’s hat-trick hero is placed under the microscope as his transfer bandwagon picks up pace. We also cast an eye over Liverpool’s latest source of midfield returns and check up on a Swansea defender whose eye for goal continues to reap the rewards.

      1. Pea Soup
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        You wouldn't get King in if you were me?

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          im not tempted tbh, and I wouldn't want to take out any of your mids

          Bournemouth have difficult fixtures coming up, you'll only get some worth of him for a short period.

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years

      Evans or FM to Yoshida to start working toward DGW players and to add a little $itb

      1. Pazdannavaro
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This.

  4. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg this week?

    Pickford
    Alonso Baines Coleman
    Alli Sanchez Pedro Mane King
    Lukaku Costa

    Boruc McAuley Mee Anichebe

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Have pressers confirmed Baines is ok to start this GW?

    Good read, the last section in particular 😀

    1. Pea Soup
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The first two paragraphs are exquisite.

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        True!

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      play Barnes and avoid the hit....:)

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Haha 🙂

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      doesn't feel right playing him every week tho at his price

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No I wouldn't play him every week

    4. Funkyav
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I didn't believe it

      Until I read it

  6. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    how about, Baines Coutinho Llorente ➡ Walker Barkley Costa for a -8?

    1. Pigsinblankets
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for news. Maybe...

    2. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Won't sell baines ahead of hull at home for a hit

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        he's just been such an nuisance to own. Walker has been waiting for too long to get into my team tbh

  7. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anybody not getting King in? Any reason why?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fixtures after this GW

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        ik, but hasn't he shown that he can score against the big boys, esp with penos

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          You can't rely on him being on pens, after him missing the first, then not taking the second last weekend.

    2. Pea Soup
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Flash in the pan

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I thought he was a flash in the pan until last week. Having said that- not sure I would get him in now unless money makes it impossible to get Alli or Sanchez or Hazard.

        1. Pea Soup
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not sure he belongs in a category anywhere near those three...

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not getting him. Enough money made in the first half of the season to have Sigurdsson as 4th mid.

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        King is a 5th mid

  8. Vinyl78LP
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Feeling a little more relaxed on Llorente, dead leg or not - happy with my 3-5-2 this week so he's benched anyway and axed next week for Gabi.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      next week is an ideal fixture for Fernando

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Its good, but Gabi's next two (BOU, CPL) plus 2 future dgw's is more attractive to me.

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Benched against Bournemouth ! I think I'll be playing him if fit. I'm with you on Gabbiadini though, one of Llorente or Carroll is going for him next week.

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking Kun for Gabbi next week to free up money for Sanchez; would have Kaku Costa and Gabbi

  9. Demí
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Neon Wolf to get beat?

    1. Pea Soup
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes I think Illuminous Panda will win

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I think it'll be Willoughby Court

  10. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Triple captain Allen this week, eh? Great advice FFS, supported by quality statistics.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I don't follow

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        That's cause you don't have access to the Members article.

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          do you non-members have a separate article or something? 😛

          1. Make Arrows Green Again
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            XD

  11. Pigsinblankets
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Time to call it a day for Pulis' defensive assets? Their fixtures are horrendous

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think so...

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yep, looking at Brunt ➡ Valencia/Walker

      1. Pigsinblankets
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I have McCauley. Swap to walker worth a hit...?

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I would, esp if you are struggling to filed 3 decent defenders this week

          1. Pigsinblankets
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Other two are Baines and Alonso, so waiting on Baines for doing anything. But very tempted.

        2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe next week for me... already took hit to go Kane to Costa. Have Coleman Alonso Baines for this week at defense. Macauley to Valencia or Walker next week.

  12. Lawrø
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who do you expect to score more points this week? 😀

    A) Lukaku(HUL)

    B) Sanchez(wba)

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A, esp if Alexis plays lw

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A.

    3. Pazdannavaro
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years

        Cheers

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

    Anyone know why Lewis Cook at BOU isn't playing? I know he was injured for a while but he's not flagged now. The lad is talented.

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wilshere is struggling to get regular starts and he's definitely behind him in the pecking order.

  14. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    In a 3-5-2 atm ,with Barnes, Kaku and Llorente. What to do after this week?

    A - Switch to 3-4-3 and change Barnes to Gabbi
    B - Get Costa and/or Gabbi in for Kaku and/or Llorente, stay 3-5-2
    C - Nothing

  15. boc610

    heard some self serving, paranoid drivel in my time from jose but he's outdone himself with todays press conference. Chooses to defend Paul Pogba from perfectly legitimate criticism from people who watch football and who know that he is not playing anywhere neat to his full potential by stating that he has come from a poor background and now he's not poor.

    wow. thats unique. there is no other story like that in football.

    1. Funkyav
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same old same old from Jose.

      The tabloids lap it up

  16. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A) Aguero to Costa and Firmino to Sanchez (-4)
    B) Sterling to Alli.

    Heaton
    Alonso / Baines / Funes Mori
    Mane / Firmino / Sterling / Sigurdsson
    Aguero / Lukaku / Llorente

    Jaku / McAuley / Maguire / T. Carroll

    1ft. 1.8itb

    1. boc610
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      neither of those

      whats the reasoning behind getting rid of kun?he has better form than costa

      there will be goals galore in that liverpool game

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        C) Save

      2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Depending on Llorente injury I could turn him into Defoe or Deeney.

  17. Zareos
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Which move would you make? I have 1 FT and 6.3m ITB.

    A. Llorente to Gabbiadini;
    B. Mane, Siggy or King to Sanchez; or
    C. D. Fletcher to Alli?

    Unfortunately I am a little sort for D. Fletcher to Sanchez.

  18. Atimis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    After all...would you have Alexis or Coutinho this week ?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho

      1. Atimis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Rly?

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Alexis. Would you have Alexis or Alli?

        1. Atimis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Yep. What to do with Coutinho...

        2. NestorC
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Alex

      • NestorC
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sane to Sanchez for a hit?

        1. Ha.
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          No,

          GW30 FT

          1. NestorC
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Not great fixture that week,

            1. Ha.
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

                  Think I'll just transfer a mid & ignore/bench him for a week if necessary.

          • Trae44
            • 8 Years

              Hello.

              Whom do you consider to be the best defender with a DGW for £4.7m or less?

              Thank you!

              1. MTPockets
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  Mawson, Davies short term, maybe Morgan longer term?

                  1. Johqvist
                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    Swansea doesn't have any doubles or have I gotten it wrong?

                    1. MTPockets
                        7 years, 1 month ago

                        Right. I didn't read the Q.
