The Big Numbers – Gameweek 2

It’s time for our regular post-Gameweek members’ article as we assess some of the standout statistics from the previous ten matches.

A handful of mid-price wide men from Watford, West Ham and Southampton catch the eye, while Spurs and Liverpool’s left-backs chalk up some impressive figures.

Chelsea and Newcastle United’s new strikers also come under analysis as we assess their early impacts in the top flight.

    2. slamdunk
      • 7 Years

      I wouldnt pick trippier

    3. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Similar team, I have Richarlison. However i've gone with Eriksen over Mane. Think he will outscore Mane over the next few gws.

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years

        Wanted Lpool cover vs Arsenal so keeping Mané for now

    this site is not nearly as furious as it ought to be at pep shiteola ruining Kun and KdB as giants of the arena

    Am I completely insane? Weekend transfer:

    Kola, KDB, Willian > Trippier, Eriksen, Pogba for...... -8 !! Yes, I did it.

    1. Arctic_Orangutans
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good

  4. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Pick one
    A Daniels > Trippier and play Tom Carroll
    B Daniels +Carroll > Mbemba + Richarlison (-4)

    Will play Mbemba only this week and Bench for the rest of the weeks
    WC also soon

    Richarlison 8 shots in 2 weeks
    Only second to Kane
    Tempted!
    Thoughts??

  5. Going Home

    Looking at Jesus, Firmino and Salah to Kane, Chicharito and Pogba for -4 (carried FT forwards last week). Feel like Jesus is clearly second in the pecking order after Monday and Firmino and Salah will obviously be prone to rotation in coming weeks (more so if Coutinho doesn't finally leave). Can anyone tell me this is a bad move (other than Kane still having one game left in August)?

    1. Clump
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Salah will play 85% of league matches. He also plays in a more advanced role than Coutinho.

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        That makes me feel good about it. £9m too much to have tied up on 85% of games. Can't see Alli, Eriksen, Pogba, KDB, Ozil, Siggy etc. (and others around that price with European commitments) playing as little as 85%

        1. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          85% is lots.

          1. Going Home
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            More or less it's 6 games from the bench. Can't see Pogba/Alli (the two ££ midfielders I would have post change) watching 6 games from the bench

        2. Clump
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Your call fella. Just MHO.

          1. Going Home
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Appreciate it. If you'd have said that this week was a one off then I'd have reconsidered. But moving him to Pogba makes me feel better about minutes (lower ceiling admittedly) but helps fund Jesus to Kane (who is surely about to explode? *crosses fingers*)

  6. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    If he's not injured and if Aurier does not sign Im getting Trippier for Daniels for a hit and going with this squad for gw3:

    De gea

    Danilo Trippier Cedric

    Pogba Eriksen Willian Salah RLC

    Lukaku Kane (c)

    What do you think. ?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You might not know if they're going to sign Aurier or not before the deadline.

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Team looks good though.

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Danilo unlikey to play. If you're taking a hit to get Trippier, maybe ship the guy whose games have run out?

      1. Who Am I?
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Sane failed miserably as LWB. I think Danilo is starting.

        1. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Even if he does (and it's a risk however you spin it), great chance that Mendy is back for GW4. Daniels will keep playing week after week - Danillo won't

      2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Danilo going to play next game with Walker red card. Going to wc after gw3 anyways.

        1. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Then surely don't hit the week before WC? Best case is a CS for Trippier and Daniels ends up with 0/1. A Burnely goal and you've shafted yourself

          1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            And trip's assist or two against his former club?

            1. Going Home
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              I'd say that's a long shot. Odds would say stick with Daniels and your four points. But ultimately your choice

  7. Nesvy
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Better pick?

    a/ Daniels > Trippier (play him)
    b/ play Monreal

    Def: Bailly - Stephens - X

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Monreal - Trippier

      1. Nesvy
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        who bench ?

        1. Speédy
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Daniels???

  8. LaCazettio
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Need some serious help here... Daniels has to go for Jones but advice on rest?

    Foster (Elliot)
    Bertrand, Dawson, Daniels
    KDB, Mkhitaryan, Willian, Mooy
    Lukaku, Kane, JRod

    Subs: (Long, Rosenior, Loftus-Cheek)

    1. MidlandC
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Willian needs to go, Hazard will be coming back soon.

      The rest is tight blood

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      the rest is fine

    3. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm not sure if Jones is nailed

      1. LaCazettio
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Who in place of Jones then? Cant have anymore West Brom players

  9. La Galatica
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hi Sorry i just posted this question on the previous page.

    FFFix says lukaku is 11.7 but FPL says 11.6 . Why?

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You must have seen transfer page on FPL.

    2. Funkyav
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku is 11.7

      But 11.6 is your selling price in FPL

      1. La Galatica
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Ok cool. thanks guys

    3. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      selling price = (current price + buying price) / 2 (round down to the nearest 1 decimal place)

      1. GoRedz
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        not true. if a player falls of 0.4, you sell at -0.4

        1. I am 42
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          if current price < buying price , selling price = current price else

          selling price = (current price + buying price) / 2 (round down to the nearest 1 decimal place)

          1. I am 42
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            im bad at programming lol

        2. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Only if he falls to .4 less than you paid for him

    4. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He is 11.7 but you can only sell for 11.7

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

        Can only sell for 11.6*

    5. Pigeon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Everytime a player's price increases by 0.2, you get an extra 0.1 of team value

    6. JB Allstars
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      This depends on wen u had lukaku if in sqad since price rise then wen u do transfer u only get bk half the increased value
      eg started at
      11.5 >>>> 11.6 t value 11.5
      11.7 >>>>>> tranfer value 11.6
      11.8 >>>>>> t value still 11.6
      11.9 >>>>>> t value 11.7
      hope it makes sense

      1. La Galatica
        • 7 Years

        Thanks it does

  10. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Will Stephens not be nailed now with Southampton signing a new Centre Back

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Never know,new manager may prefer Stephens over Yoshi,new signing could even be backup to those two.

  11. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    On WC and just stumbled across the Hegazi/Mawson defensive rotation (or Fernandez if you want to save 0.5 but think Mawson is worth it).

    Will rotate alongside Alonso and Davies.

    *the only real concern in the next 10.

    1. Creedey
      • 9 Years

      Looks decent!!

      1. Fantasy Football Friend!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        McAuley is also a concern.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Playing Mawson every week for those 10 games makes even more sense tbh.. Just 1/2 really bad fixtures in that run

    3. Tsssst
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Naughton at 4.5m plays wing back?

  12. farqo
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone got any thoughts when Son will be starting again for spurs?

  13. Creedey
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What do u think about this team? 0.5 itb, 1 FT.

    Foster - Elliot
    Stones - Yoshida - Aké - Suttner - Long
    Carroll - KDB - Salah - Willian - Tadic
    Jesus - Kane - Gabbiadini

    Should I take a hit this gw?
    Cheers

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      If you've got 1FT I'd use it to improve Ake. Maybe Jones or Trippier (depending on Aurier).

      1. Creedey
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Aké -> Jones looks good.

    2. rakdaddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Brave to have no man u cover concidering their 8-0 goal difference opening two.

      1. Creedey
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I was stupid enough to let the heart (city-supporter) decide.. Should obviously have gone with Lukaku from the beginning. Salah -> Mkhi good transfer? Or ship KDB? The team looks good for next gw.

  14. Alexis Nonsense
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is Barcelona going up in pieces?

    If the players are not happy with the system/leaders etc

    Messi not signed new contract, Neymar wa unhappy

    Imagine if Messi, Suarez etc becomes avaliable in the market...

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      The only club in PL who have the slightest chance of getting Messi is City imo. Pep+$$$=Messi is a Citizen

  15. Pegboy
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Mounie?

    Decent enough fixtures for the next 6 weeks. Hopefully by then one of Austin/Gray etx will have nailed down a striker spot and be scoring. Only competition in the 6m bracket is Vokes. Chicharito doesn't seem worth the extra £1m.

  16. billandben88
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I personally am sticking with KDB until Hazard is back. Once Haz is back the transfer of KDB>Haz will require less reshuffling than a transfer of a cheaper player to Haz.

  17. It’s a Knockaert
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    How nailed is jones

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Relatively, but he does have Rojo and Lindelof lurking (and to a much lesser extent Smalling). Decent pick though, just be prepared to transfer out in 3-5 weeks time.

  18. SKENG
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    How likely is Kane to drop before the deadline?

    1. Sillet Bang
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Serious v Burnley! ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

  19. seanc96
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Which two out of these 3 are most nailed when andy carroll comes back? Lanzini, Antonio, Arnoutovich? Might billic play 2 up top and sacrifice one of those 3?

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Does it matter? Will only be half a game before Carroll is injured again.

    2. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I don't know, but I'd guess Antonio is most nailed. Lanzini coming back from injury and Arnie resestablishing himself after the red card.

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He may sacrifice a defensive mid.

    4. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Carroll not nailed imo

  20. slamdunk
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is starting Hegazi and Foster to much WBA?

    1. Pigeon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Could well pay off

    2. Kane Train
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      nope they signed Barry. they only going to be better defensively than before

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ive done that for the last two GWs, wasnt let down

    4. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater
      • 6 Years

      Nah

    5. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

    Should we expect a De Bruyne party against Bournemouth on Saturday?

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      More hope than expect..

      1. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I hope he does. He gets usually gets points against them. Plus it's his last week in my team.

    2. MidlandC
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm not sure. Eddie Howe will have put a rocket up their arse in training. Bmouth will be well drilled this weekend

      1. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Might captain De Bruyne. But I'll most likely choose a safer option - Lukaku.

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      maybe a selling party if he blanks (owner)

  23. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    GW3 team, took a stupid early -4 on Saturday night..

    Foster (Elliott)
    Jones - Kolasinac - Danilo (Zanka, Long)
    Alli - Willian - KdB - Pogba (Carroll)
    Chihcarito - Lukaku - Firmino

    Is it mad to captain Kdb? Double up on the misery selling him could bring to others?!

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Owning him is enough. Go safe with Lukaku.

    2. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not mad, but not % option. Decent punt though.

    3. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I was thinking the same. He gets hauls against Bournemouth but it's better to pick the safe option - Lukaku

  24. Sillet Bang
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Got a feeling Kane will smash the not scoring in Aug this weekend

    Foster
    Britos Alonso Hegazi

          I hope for you that you wont have 4 non playing defenders in two weeks

          Not worried about having two 4.0 defenders that don't play?

          2x 4.0 defenders and not 100% nailed Jones could be asking for trouble.

          That defence is awful. Downgrade Chicharito or Richarlison.

        Conte out?

        Anyone else have a Foster/Flap rotation or just one and Elliot?

        Has Rooney's retirement from international duty increased his appeal as an asset to anyone? Less chance of rotation/injury (purely on the basis of fewer games played)?

          I expect him to play pretty much every game. Certainly in the Prem anyway.
