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.

    Is trippier guaranteed to play or is yoshida a better option. I have brought in bailly for Valencia (not sure jones is 100% nailed) and am replacing Ake

    I've slightly rejigged my wildcard team with Richarlison now a 4th mid rather than a 3rd. 0.0 itb.

    Foster - Elliot
    Alonso - Cedric - Dawson - Mbemba - Holgate
    Eriksen - Mkhitaryan - Mata - Richarlison - TCarroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Chicharito

      Prefer Ramsey and Tadic to Mata.

    2. osullg26

      Drop Mata

      One line of thinking is that the super expensive players are only viable if they are the captain, double points means they have a higher value rating. So having two very high priced assets but only captaining one might mean that you are not getting value from several of your millions that could be distributed through the team to add more value in other areas.

          3 - Cedric
          4 - Richarlison

    Am I the only one saving my WC till Hazard and Sanchez returns?

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

      No sir. I am too. Give them a couple of weeks to settle and assess.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'm keeping for that too. 🙂

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

    attacking assets does not affect each other ie pogba and lukaku

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

      will you double up defense?
      who will you play if you already have Bertrand
      1) Cédric
      2) RLC
      3) TCarroll

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

        you already asked for this and got couple of replies

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

          i ask twice in fact, the 1st time most pple recommended not to double up Soton defense

          thus i decide to omit Bertrand

          and the result is very different

          im curious how others think

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

      double up, you only live once

  9. Paris Ganja Man
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on going without Liverpool coverage for the next two against Arsenal and City?

    Aware these games have been high scoring in the past

    1. Salah'd n Sauce
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm not. Arsenal are leaky and Liverpool tend to do better vs 'Top 6' teams. I'd have at least some attacking cover mane/salah/firmino

      1. Captain Roberto
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        true. Liverpool were immense against the Top6 last season.

  10. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    wait what!!!! is Phil Jones okay???

  11. Swanee11
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    A or B?

    A) Cedric & Mooy
    B) 4.5 defender & Richarlison/Jesé

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

      B, probably Lowe

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

      A

    3. FotnikPL
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      no 4.5 DEF to play every single GW, only in rotation so A) for me but don't expect too much from Mooy

      1. Swanee11
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Have zanka to rotate with

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

          so Suttner+Jese/Rich? Meh, still A)

  12. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Daniels to
    A) Dawson FT
    B) trippier (Fraser to tarroll) 2FT
    C) Bavies (Fraser to tarroll) 2 FT

    Shall I remove Fraser or gross?

    1. moz_1983
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Considering getting rid as well, A from those options in terms of nailed-on-ness.

  13. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Jones rumour mill is about to fire up. Wonder if it reaches the heights of ManéGate

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

      bad news, planning to do Valencia to Jones when I have nothing to transfer

      plus a change in CB partnership could affect CS

  14. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I've held on to Iwobi and lost 0.2 on him. Am i best just keeping hold of him and hope he gets a game?

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

      get rid before he goes down again

      1. corderz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Won't go down if he gets a game though....

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

          too much competition for him to get a regular game at Arsenal, better with a Mooy type player who will at least be a regular starter

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

          he doesnt get a game when everyone is fit. When Sanchez is back that is another position he cant play in. So many players ahead of him imo

          dont think he is an FPL option sorry

        3. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          If is the operative word there

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

          I think it's already been proven that he won't get a game though...

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

    Rooney with no set pieces and penos looks a bit unappealing tbh.. (due to siggy coming in). Also plays behind the striker if I'm not mistaken

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

      Reply fail.. Eh

  16. Team Cruel

    Source for Jones injury?

    1. TheTinman

      Just not pictured in training yesterday I believe.

      He always gets injured

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

    So if you average 65pts over 38 game weeks. You could win FPL?

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

      Good luck

    2. I am 42
      • 10 Years

      might be higher due to a new chip

    3. Fantasy Football Friend!

      What score did the winner get last year?

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

        Was it not 2600 +?

    4. Captain Roberto
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      something like that for a mean average

  18. United10

      B). Or C).

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

      Dann, as with RLC will semi cover CP CS

  19. Eton Rifles

    brought Jones in last night for Riedewald, out of the frying pan springs to mind.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wait until Chicharito's hamstring inevitably goes ...

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

        True that. He can't be as sharp as he once was anyway. Ignoring the hype

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

      Is this more fake news?

  20. Espen8

    Rate my team guys:

    De Gea
    Hegazi Davies Stones

    Firmino Lukaku (C) Kane

    1. fpltactician

      Like it, not a fan of Ritchie tho

    2. Eton Rifles

      like hundreds I've seen

  21. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ake >

    A) Trippier
    B) Jones

    1. jmcclory123
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      why get rid of Ake?

      1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Bad couple of fixtures, can't see Bournemouth keeping clean sheets. Trippier and Jones just seem way better options.

  22. TheTinman
    • 8 Years

    Will Salah fall in price tonight?

    1. TheTinman

      Probably

    2. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years

      probably

    3. Sailboats

      yes

    4. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Doesn't matter if you bought him when he was 9.0

      His selling price will stay the same

    2. Fantasy Football Friend!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Watch the game tonight. If Liverpool are comfortable and he comes off around 60th minute. You know he's starting at the weekend.

    3. Eton Rifles

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

      Keep. Can't understand why people are selling. He's had his rest. Mane or Firmino might be next.

      1. Live Lad
        • 9 Years

        I don't think they can afford to rest any of them against Arsenal.

    6. Captain Roberto
      • 6 Years

      keep him if he's your Liverpool asset

      get a 4.5 mid and save the 1m. RLC/TCarrol/Chalobah all fairly decent options
