The Big Numbers – Gameweek 37

We delve into our Opta data now in our first members’ article of the week.

Scanning the first six days’ action over Double Gameweek 37, we check up on the contrasting numbers for Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil in Arsenal’s new 3-4-2-1 formation.

Manchster City pair Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus are also assessed, as are Philippe Coutinho and Fernando Llorente with their transfers-in escalating ahead of Sunday’s deadline.

    2FT and 0.1 banked

    Cech
    Alonso // Monreal // Yoshida
    King // Alli // Hazard // JWP // Sanchez
    Kane // Jesus

    Willy // Stephens // Anichibe // Holgate

      Any thoughts?

      Hey mate

      I'd be thinking maybe JWP and Alli out for Cout and whoever you can afford there for JWP. Punt on Ndidi? 😀

      Rest of the squad is similar to mine and therefore will smash it...

      1. SuperMario
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm punt on Albrighton maybe..

        Thought about Haz, Alli & JWP to KDB, Cout & Albrighton also

        1. Individual
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I'd just take the FTs, the final day is such a cr*pshoot anyway.

          Punt on Albrighton or Ndidi pretty decent imo alongside Cout. Wouldn't be bringing KdB in unless you're trying to win ML or something.

      Alli/Haz + Anichebe -> Coutinho + Llorente (bench JWP)

      1. SuperMario
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks for idea but 2m off lol

    4. Heavy Data
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Your team looks like mine. I just did Hazard>Coutinho. You could do that and upgrade Anichibe with the funds and bench JWP.

    5. Mick J
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Same team team as mine, but with JWP instead of King and Eriksen instead of Alli. With my one free transfer I’m thinking about replacing Hazard with Coutinho, like everyone else on here, but if I knew Hazard would be playing, I would consider taking out Eriksen instead.

      What about Hazard and JWP to Coutinho and Fabregas?

  2. I am 42
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    which combination will score the most points?

    1) Cahill Hazard Redmond Capoue
    2) Cahill Coutinho Fàbregas Capoue
    3) Cahill Coutinho Redmond King
    4) Aké Coutinho Hazard Capoue

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years

      Jesus.

      1. Sess!
        • 13 Years

        Probably could the form he's in.

    2. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      my team with 2 FT, or any suggestions?

      Caballero Cech
      Yoshida Stephens Davies Vertonghen Cahill
      Sánchez Özil Hazard Redmond Capoue
      Jesus Costa Anichebe

    3. Sess!
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      2 is the answer

    Views about this.
    AOA chip active.
    Who would you give the armband to?

    Cech
    Alonso cahill
    Alli *firmino(c) ozil king sane
    Jesus Kane *vokes

    Pickford Stephens Maguire holgate

    * Players brought in this week. For hazard and anichebe

    15M for two players. Suggestions welcome.

    - 5 away players. Something to worry about ? Sane to be rested ?

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Hey mate 🙂

      I'd give the armband to Ozil or Firmino for sure. The home game thing r.e. the last day really resonates with me!

      I'm on 5 away players currently, but could be 4 if I also do Sane -> Siggy. Bit concerned that Sane might rotate with Sterling for the last day, especially given the blank last game. But DK yet 🙂

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Hey individual.
        How you doing ? How's the dgw treating you?
        Sane played well last time . He missed two chances and also was creating chances .
        Hopefully pep starts him with top4 in mind

        1. Individual
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah pretty well mate, I'm on 157 with Kane and Eriksen to play, moved into the money in my ML (leapfrogging my arch rival, my cousin, in the process) and hoping tonight Eriksen plays well to get me the cash prize for the top score of the year, too. My PB is 168 (DGW 34 last year) so hoping those two will put Leicester's ramshackle defence to the sword (though I do want an Alli blank). What about you?

          WR said that too and I think he's right - think I will put Siggy in if there's any doubts expressed by Pep in his presser and/or if I have a decent chance of getting one over on my ML rivals (gunning for 2nd in my ML now and £50 - sadly first is out of reach, has had a monster season like my one last year) and therefore need a punt!

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      You bought in Firmino when he's flagged and didn't train yet? 😕

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Nope .
        I always leave it till the end . Tentative team 😀

      2. Qubit
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Didn't overthink it.

    3. Sess!
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I think Firmino is out mate

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I haven't done the transfer.
        Just a thought.
        If not him, siggy or lallana would be my choice

        What do you think?

        1. Sess!
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Why not coutinho? Lallana could certainly do well. Would favour him over siggy.

        2. Qubit
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          On a serious note, either of those is probably a good bet. Id say Coutinho, Siggy, Lallana in that order. Lallana could definitely do well, but is slightly riskier. (but then its wk38 so who knows!)

  4. Individual
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Always end up at the bottom of the page 😆

    So I own Kompany, Jesus and Sane. Am tempted to go get Siggy in for Sane. Worth a go?

    Thinking that Sterling might come in for the last game with Sane rotated out if Pep is doing Kun-Jesus up top!

    Would be for a -4... also doing Cout in for Eriksen (mid will be (C)outinho Sanchez Haz King Sane/Siggy).

    Concerned because I have a terrible bench (Anichebe, Bailly and Holgate) so if one of the defenders plus a midfielder doesn't start I'm down to 10 or maybe even 9 men potentially!

    Thanks

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Sane will start, top 4 is not certain yet

      1. Individual
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks WR.

        I'll see wagwon I guess with Pep - just fancy diversifying a little bit, though I can't see Hull being able to do anything to stop City. Lot of it probably depends on how close I am to ML rival on the final day if I want to take the hit or not

        1. Goal Digger2016

            Ah yessir, sozlol.

  5. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Leading my ML by only 6 points, so don't wanna take a hit; but 15K OR and looking to break the top 10K. Precarious.

    Thinking:
    a) Teke to Llorente, bench Haz
    b) Haz to Ozil
    c) Haz to Cout (hate buying Pool players as I support Everton)

    Willy
    Yosh, Bavies, Monreal
    Haz, Sanchez, Silva, Eriksen, King
    Jesus, Kane

    Pickford, Benteke, Stephens, Holgate

    .6 itb, 1 FT

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Wowow.

      OK, yeah no hit for sure with margins that tight. What about Eriksen -> Cout? You have Kane to cover and that gives you the home man.

      Know what you mean about not buying rival team players but it helps to think about FPL as a separate exercise and the players as assets rather than playing for a team hehe 🙂 I'm a Gooner who has been sporting 2/3 Spurs the majority of the season (though I'm relatively non-tribal about these matters)

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers, yeah I know what you mean. I try to think of it the same.

        I dont think Haz will play, but Eriksen should, no? Or will he be rested as well. Spuds have nil to play for now? Is 2nd place locked in?

        1. Individual
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I think Haz will play tbh; he will have had 5 days to recover since Tuesday's game and then another 7 days before the cup final. Plenty of time! But part of me feels like I'm worried about a trolling if I do remove - he's that kind of guy.

          Eriksen I'm just saying might be worth getting rid of because you have Kane already, and they have less to play for it seems.

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      C and don't bench Benteke

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Bench King then? Thats a poor choice. Who to bench?

  6. Baked baines
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Simple question but difficult answer

    Hazard or Alli for Coutinho?!?

    1. Qubit
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      See how tonight goes. Id say Alli though.

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Who do you think is more likely to be rested? I ask because its guesswork at this point.

    3. Baked baines
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      That's the question....I've no clue.
      Hazard paying 90 mins this week has confused me!!!

    4. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going Eriksen out, so Alli I think, especially if you own Kane - as I said above, Haz will have had (lol) 5 days since the game on Monday to recover and then will have another 7 days after Sunday to recover ahead of the FA cup, so I think he will play / am scared to remove in view of a trolling lol

    5. Baked baines
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Think you could be right!

  7. ReleaseBreaks_
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Whats your thoughts on Spurs rotation as they play tonight then on Saturday again, they will not even rest 48 hours, thats about 43 hours.
    Main gang to play both? Alli, Eriksson, Kane?

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights

      tonight then sunday no

    2. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      It's Sunday.

      I suspect the main lot will play it all.

    Diving ban going to be one more headache next year.

    Trying to make sure none of your 15 have taken a tumble at the weekend, and waiting on the retrospective action

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yep. Stay away from Robben people!

    2. Sess!
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No different to if a player throws an elbow not spotted by ref.

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah but players dive every game, could be worrying about 5 or 6 bans from a game. Elbows are rare

        1. dhamphiir
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Unless you have Fellaini in your team

        2. Pasqualinho
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          The idea is that diving becomes as rare as elbowing. I suspect it'll be madness at first but will settle down reasonably quickly.

          My only worry is what happens when the PL teams play in European competition. I suspect they'll be at quite a disadvantage - any clues from Scottish teams on how this plays out?

          1. Kings of Lyon ★
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Our teams usually arent in Europe long enough for the impact to take effect

        3. Sess!
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          It'll should reduce them now though, hence the point of bringing the new rule in.

    3. janowsc
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah for sure. Damn Sane...

    4. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I was thinking this earlier, we might be looking at a lot of players ruled out retrospectively after the GW... more hits next year on the menu I think 😀

  9. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    So, a high team value actually cost me poins at the end of the season. ML rival couln't afford Hazard, and brought in Sane instead.

    1. Sess!
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Same thing happened to a few people getting Azpi over Alonso. Thems the breaks.

  10. Alan_T
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Are there any better punts for 38 than Sturridge or Terry?

    1. Sess!
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Terry could be a late sub on.

      1. Sess!
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I don't think he will be, but he could be. Therefore I don't rate him as a punt.

        1. Alan_T
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Isn't that what a punt is? 🙂

          I agree though. Prefer Studge.

          1. Sess!
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Sturridge could be gold. Just can't get him unfortunately.

    2. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Benteke

    3. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney. Last game for United perhaps. Needs 2 more to get 200 goals in PL I think, too (correct me if I'm wrong)

      Personally wouldn't do it as Jose will play Rooney, Pogba, Bailly (if fit) + the kids, but if you want a punt look at Wazza for shure.

  11. Sedemuda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    A or B for GW 38?
    A)Cech
    Yoshida Monreal Alonso
    King Alli Sanchez Coutinho
    Rooney Jesus Kane
    Or
    B)Cech
    Yoshida Monreal Alonso
    King Alli Sanchez Coutinho Lallana
    Jesus Kane
    Both involve a -4 to get rid of Gabbi. So Rooney or Lallana?

    Hazard out is a no brainer for me. Even if he played another 180 minutes, his form and shots on goal stats are terrible...
    I've been trolled by him most of the season because of one or two big scores
