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.

      so suttner is a no no right? kola plays liverpool and i dont want to be playing him just because he is a premium. but RLC and caroll play each other. I really am just talking to myself aren't I?

    Not like Phil Jones to get injured

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

      Is he?!

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

      He had a good run this time though. 2 full games.

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

        Put in a good shift did Jonesy

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He'll be back before the end of the season, I'm sure.

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

            Yeah, he's a real trooper

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

          what's his injury?

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

      He's not injured

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

        Jones is always injured unless proven not injured I'm afraid

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

      Where you heard this?

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

        On here

    5. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What injury?

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

        I have no information other than he is probably injured because he is Phil Jones

        1. Sahil Yadav
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          No news of Phil Jones on Google except what he and Blind did in Europa League Final

  3. osullg26
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Baines is worth the extra .5 because he's on set-pieces and penalties over Keane and Williams for when the fixtures ease after GW5?

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

      Siggy possibly on pens so not sure.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Siggy is on all creativity.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      when's Seamie due back?

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

        Who!?

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          The Cole Man

  4. golfboy
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Think I'm settled on defence and attack, 12.5m left to solve 3rd and 4th midfield headache (Carroll is 5th)

    A) Mooy, Ramsey
    B) RLC, Silva
    C) Other?

    1. Marcos Alonso is god
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A looks better of the two imo

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

        Tough, B i think. But im not as keen on others on Mooy.

  5. Taarabts2Good4U
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is Kane a must have from here on in?

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

      He could do some serious damage vs Burnley. If he doesn't score, the August curse is so real.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Let him score first.

    4. golfboy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not a must have but I think you need Eriksen if you don't have him. Spurs look strong going forwards despite losing to Chelsea

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

      Until big hitters emerge from the premium mids.

  6. Hardly Athletic
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    A or B.

    a. Cedric / Tadic / Ramsey
    b. Alonso / Richarlison / Mooy

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

      B

    2. United10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      b

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

      B

  7. Random Name
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Pickford, 4.0
    Alonso, Jones, 4.5, 4.5, 4.0
    Sanchez, Hazard, Jese, 5.0, 4.5
    Lukaku, Lacazette, 6.0

    This will be the template team gwk 10 mark my words.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lol

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

      Well given you said Lacazette would've had six goals by now why should believe you?

      1. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Never said lacazette 6 goals by now. i said brace first game and goal/assist vs stoke. he scored one in first game and a rightful goal against stoke ruled offside.

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          So it wasn't a goal then.

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

      unlike to have Sanchez & Lacazette

      Foster, Myhill
      Alonso, Jones, 4.5, 4.5, 4.0
      Sanchez, Hazard, Jese, Balance, 4.5
      Lukaku, Kane, Pea

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

      Spurs must have imploded

      1. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Man city too 😉

    5. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Double Arsenal attackers LUL. You can't even score against Stoke

  8. Marcos Alonso is god
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hi all so TM gave me the link to fplstatisitcs this morning, but I'm still not to sure how it works. Does price go up/down when the player gets a above 100 target or am I mistaken

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

      yes

      1. Marcos Alonso is god
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Does it take a while to update on Fpl because I noticed maguire and Pogba I think are above 100 but no change in their price

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

          Prices don't update immediately. They update at 2:15 UK time.

          1. Marcos Alonso is god
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Ah ok thank you

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

      Yes. Every day at 2:15am UK time.

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

      Near enough, although it feels a lot slower this year. Eriksen was on 100% for about 4 days before he finally rose.

      The algorithm isn't known so these sites have tried to reverse engineer it so it will never be perfect but is a very good tool nonetheless.

      1. Marcos Alonso is god
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks man, 4 days that's an awfully long time.

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

          Zanka was even longer at about 7 days.

          Once they hit 102%+ you can be pretty sure they'll go up

    4. The Kolarov Mane âš”
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      The algorithm is not spot on, but it is generally a decent marker.

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

      95% is a risk

      1. Marcos Alonso is god
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'm on wildcard so trying to get a few extra monies in the bank. Shouldn't I go after 95%s

  9. fpltactician
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Foster
    Kola Stephens Lowe
    Eriksen Salah Mkhi Willian Caroll
    Kane(C) Lukaku

    G2G for GW3?

    1. Marcos Alonso is god
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Looks very strong

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

    A little calm advice please guys to save me burning my wildcard, this is what i'm telling myself:

    (Already on -4, after Jesus to Chicharito rage transfer, and Fraser to Pogba)

    A couple of problems, eg Daniels, but he does rotate perfectly with Mee (apart from this weekend) and i bought him as long term option due to his proven attacking returns over the last 2 x seasons

    Also Ritchie, but if he's going to do anything then West Ham at home is as good a chance as any

    Double Southampton defence isn't ideal, but great fixtures in medium term, and there's some doubts over alternatives in anything other than a short-term capacity, so reasonably happy to just tweak defence over coming weeks with a bit more information at hand

    Foster
    Daniels/Bertrand/Stephens
    KDB/Eriksen/Pogba/Ritchie
    Lukaku(c)/Chicharito/Moonie

    Elliot/Carroll/Mee/Long

    -4 / 5.0 ITB (plan to get Alli or Mane for Ritchie next week)

    all thoughts welcome, cheers folks! save or go WC crazy?! 😀

    DEAL DONE: Tottenham have signed Paulo Gazzaniga from Southampton on a 5-year deal for around £2m. (Source: @SpursOfficial)

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

      £2m. Classic Levy.

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years

      Wish him all the best, as a Saints fan.

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

      Is that an Italian Paul Gascoigne? Did he not once play for Spurs?

      Who's place is threatened by this?

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

        No one's. He's a goalkeeper.

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

          Ah right cheers....

    4. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      as 3rd choice or Vorm making a move?

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

        3rd.choice, but maybe second, I remember he was well like by Poch when he was in Southampton

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          he def played a few games but i'm sure that was through injury.
          Vorm should move on & be a no.1 again, thought he was a good GK

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

    Just transfered Jones out and back in three times to speed up his price rise. Seems to be working.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      😆

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

      Probably how he got injured...

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

        Injured? You are kidding me......confirmed?

    3. SAY MY NAME

      6 years, 8 months ago

      😀

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

      need at least 30k times

      and it will not make a difference

      btw anyone knows why those WCer does not influence price change?

    5. Marcos Alonso is god
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Does that work? I'll help you do it a couple hundred times 😉

    6. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It won't work because I transferred him out of all 50,000 of my 'secondary' teams.

    1. Jafooli

      Sorry, wrong thread.

    3. Big Red Rom
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lol, yeah. Did send an email from the right email address asking for help but no response, guess it's a small team... On a wildcard though and need the info!!

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

        Usually fairly quickly

      2. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        The FFS team are normally on the lash most of the day.....

  14. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Richarlison has fantastic stats but is anyone getting put off by his fixtures?

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

      Small sample size. If he keeps them up then I'll take him seriously

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

      He can't be all that if our B team kept him quiet last night...

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

      Waiting for larger sample size, hoping he comes good when willian is looking less nailed

  15. smix
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Foster
    Davies Stephens Daniels
    Mane Mkhi Willian Fraser
    Kane Lukaku (c) Firmino
    Elliot Carroll Suttner Long

    Already taken a hit. Is this GTG ?

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

      yes, although double bou is worrying

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

      Yes don't take another hit.

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

      definitely captian kane

  16. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    With my FT...

    Get rid of Dummett and start Carroll / JWP?

    or

    Get rid of JWP for Richarlison and play Mee / Daniels?

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

      I expect JWP to start, so the other one.

  17. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®

    I know this isn't the place for it but...

    Anyone have any experience with patellar tendonitis (jumpers knee)?

  18. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years

    Firmino + Eriksen

    2. OldBenKenobi

      B but only if you have Lukaku as a Captaincy option

  19. smix
    • 8 Years

    A. Willian or
    B. Richarlison ?

    1. ZakyJ

      1. I am 42

        wanted to pick him and DDG

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

        Ah right....didn't realise he's already had a price rise.....safety blanket

        Was watching W1A again the other day. Your sister was in that right Rups?

        Great comedy......any more in the pipeline? Like 2012 also....

      Holding as I only lose the 0.1 gained. If he looks like dropping from 9.5 I will consider using my FT

      Keep...he is a cappo option.

    Was planning on bringing in Trippier for Monreal however, with the talk of Aurier and the injury i'm not so sure.

    What would you guys do? 0 FT 0.9 ITB

    Appreciate any thoughts!

    Is Jones injured? Was just about to ask Jones or Blind?

    Is Jesus&Valencia to Kane&4.5 defender worth a hit? I guess I save but feel Kane might finally punish me...

    1. fpltactician
      • 6 Years

      not 4 me

    2. Fantasy Football Friend!

      Not sure on that one. Jesus could just as easily explode this weekend and I fancy United for a clean sheet.

    3. I am 42
      • 10 Years

      2 goals from captain kane (3 bonus) = 26 - 4 = 22

      assuming you cap either (1 bonus each)
      1 goal from Jesus and cs from Valencia = 14 + 7 = 21

      imo not worth it

    Who to play in GW3:

    1) RLC (Swansea)
    2) JWP (Hudd)

    Fraser or gross who should be removed / kept and why!

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

      Both should be removed because they're both shite.

        Fraser isn't shite.

      fraser, bournemouth are shit

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years

        Gross should be removed first, Fraser did well vs big teams last season & can always end up winning a peno

  27. Carcaju

    Foster - Elliot

    Bailly - Davies - Cedric - Monreal - 4M

    KdB - Mane - Ritchie - Tom Carrol - RLC

    Lukaku - Kane - Gabbiadini

    I want to get rid of Monreal, but should I buy a strong defender or upgrade someone on the midfield?

    1. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®
      • 11 Years

      Monreal > Mee

      Upgrade in midfield; can you afford Pogba by selling Ritchie?

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

        I have to make an extra transfer for that.. But I'm not sure about a double on Man Utd attack

  28. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Think I'll WC in one international break and Free Hit in the one after - just to stave off the boredom...

      Free hit will be best for Christmas rotation; field your normal squad with players you expect to play, then use the chip and get a full team of players who were rested (and hence play the next game), then it reverts back to the original team for the following fixture.

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

        Er free hit for a double game week so all your players are playing doubles

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Er no . DGW is BB or TC. Free hit for blank weeks.

    I smell a Lukaku blank this week.

    Im going to play JWP over Carroll.
    Sound good?

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

      doesn't matter tbh, both won't do anything

      1. OldBenKenobi

        lol ta

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

          JWP probably best, Lemina took slight knock so JWP has better chance of starting than last week
