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.

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

    How's this looking so far? Llorente news could change it.

    Pickford
    Pieters / Alonso / Coleman
    Siggy / Mane / Antonio / Sterling
    Lukaku / Costa / Llorente*

    Foster / Fletcher / Cedric / Amat

        I'll consider it if he's definitely out.

    Aguero Lukaku Crouch

    Brunt > Valencia this week? May take a -8 next week when I downgrade Kun to get Sanchez and an upgrade on Crouch/Snoddy.

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

      Do brunt to walker. Downgrade Coleman soon too. Sadly. Too much in defence and he doesn't have a double.

      1. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        I'd be keeping Coleman right through to gw37....

          How do i do that?
          Im already member

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

    Would you captain a rampant King against a leaky Swans defence?

    Sanchez's attitude problems. Lukaku's contract problems. Firmino's injury prolems.

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

      How does Firmino figure in captain options !?!?

      I wouldn't btw. Sanchez is fine. So is Lukaku

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

        Yeah, can't explain putting him there now, probably just to complete the triplet set. I've had Sanchez (C) and Lukaku (VC) so far but suddenly got tempted by King...

    2. zeepeee
      • 7 Years

      If i have the balls 🙁

    4. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Lukaku all the way for me.

  9. leocarter27
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    How's this wildcard team looking. Bench is planned for the dgw also.

    Robles / Pickford

    Valencia Alonso Walker / Yoshida Fabio

    Alli King Sanchez Siggy / Oviedo

    Defoe Lukaku Costa

    *will bring gabbiadini in for 30*

    Thanks

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

      Oviedo ? Just bring in Gabbi now and save yourself a transfer.

  10. Lovren an elevator

    Who thinks P. Jones will start against boro this GW?

    Hi lads, sorry for the long post. Which of these plans look best?

    A)
    GW29: Save FT
    GW30: Aguero/Carroll/King to Gabbi/Costa/Sanchez (-4)
    GW31: Save FT
    GW32: Mane/Coutinho to Alli/Eriksen (2 FTs)

    B)
    GW29: Mane/Coutinho to Alli/Sanchez (-4)
    GW30: Aguero/King to Gabbi/Eriksen (-4)
    GW31: Carroll to Ibra (FT)

    Current front 7 is:
    Siggy, Coutinho, Mane, King (Tom Carroll)
    Lukaku, Aguero, Andy Carroll

    1. Moses _H
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

  12. FPL Bielsa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton
    Alonso Walker Coleman
    Siggy Mane Cout King Antonio
    Lukaku Llorente

    Kane Brunt Amat

    FT already used. If Llorente fit would you do Cout to Sanchez for -4

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

      How much itb

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

        3.4m so money no object but thinking not worth for a hit ?

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

      I'd be more inclined to ditch Kane.

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

    Best 5 mids for the next 5 Gws. Price is no object

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

      Sanchez Hazard Mane Alli Siggy

      This will be midfield but Eriksen for Alli

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard, Mane, Alli, Eriksen, Sigurdsson

      1. juggos
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This but I prefer pedro

  14. United10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Defoe or Gabbiadini short term buy?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Defoe.

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

      Define short term. Defoe for the next 2

      1. United10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        next 5 fixtures. I will bring Gabbiadini on wild card for DGW

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

      Gabbi

  15. Rupert The Horse

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Asked this morning.
    Cash out at £92 on a free bet with Athletico only to play or leave it for a £172 win.
    Or hedge and put £30 for Bayer to win or draw for a £42 profit?

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

      leave it imo

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks.

    2. zotter
      • 14 Years

      Leave.

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

        Definitely don't do the hedge. Why would you !? When can take the 92

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Advice given earlier. Trying to get my head around it.

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      hold out

    4. Oven Glover
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Go for 172

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers John.

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Leave, Fk cash out. Purely set up to massively benefit the bookies.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        True that brother.

    6. juggos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It was free, right? Therefore the options are:

      - £92 cashed out now
      - £172 if Atletico win and £0 if they lose or draw
      - £142 if Atletico win and £42 if they lose or draw

      I'd probably hedge but with a smaller amount so you definitely make something but the higher upside if Atletico win

    7. makaveli123

      1. jamie1972
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe horrendous is exaggerating a touch, just get an awful feeling Sanchez is going to sting me, and the defence stinks....

        Possibly a -8 to do Brunt/Count out for Sanchez/Whoever

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          No hold.

  18. freddie
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    When do we sue the wildcard? Should I have used it by now or are we waiting for a dgw?

    1. jamie1972
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Popular thinking is to use it in conjunction with BB and a DGW

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

        Ah, good lad. Do we have a decent DGW coming? We can't use BB and wildcard on same week can we?

    2. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I Am probably waiting for dgw to be announced. And regardless probably in 36

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for DGW. Can't sue them anyway.

    4. EDEN THE MAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      U use it when you want to.
      What do you mean are "we" waiting?

    I hope Swansea's press conference is tomorrow? Eagerly waiting fo0r Llorente's news, there's a chance he may fall tomorrow.

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

      He should recover fully from a dead leg tbf

      1. AA33
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Still he missed training on Tuesday, hoping that he should be fit 🙂

  21. Ógie

    Is it Liverpool F.C. that is making Jurgen Klopp star in all these cheesy TV commercials or is he doing it on his own steam?

    6. juggos
      • 11 Years

    Love for Haz starting to increase again. Has he looked more threatening of late?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's looked wonderful.

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

        hair on point, but is his tekkers?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Looking back to his best even if he was bald.

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

            haha, thinking about getting him this week. Prefer him to Costa as an option?

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I do. Prefer Alli or Son though.

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

                hmm currently own Alli, and looking at bringing in Haz, Sanchez, Eriksen or Son this week. Choices, choices

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years

      I fancy Haz over Costa for the end of the season

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

        yea that's my dilemma. Leaning towards Haz atm as well

  24. Visionaries
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Foster
    Baines, Valencia, Walker
    Alli, Siggy, King, Mane
    Costa, Lukaku (c), Carroll

    Jaku, Maguire, Chambers, Davies
    2.1 ITB

    Good to go or any suggestions?

  25. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    I'd hate to save my WC this long only to blow it before all the DGW fixtures are announced.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      So don't.

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not, I'm saying I'm surprised to see so many WC times here this week. GW28 really was a red herring.

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

      wait till INT break imo

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        At the very least.

    1 FT & 7.6M ITB

    Heaton / Pickford
    Alonso / Coleman / Brunt / Chambers* / Amat
    Firminio* / Antonio / Sigurdson / Phillips / King
    Lukaku / Defoe / Llorente*

    Chambers, Amat, Phillips and Defoe probably out but shall I sit on it for this week and wait for double transfer? Or should I sub Firminio to Sanchez? Ta!
