The Big Numbers – Gameweek 9

Our usual post-Gameweek members’ article is up next as we check in on some of the standout performers across the previous weekend’s ten matches.

There’s cause for optimism in north London after Spurs and Arsenal hit a combined nine goals, while our new expected goals data offers plenty to ponder at Manchester City.

Elsewhere, Man United and Chelsea’s Belgian big-hitters have struggled to convince as Watford’s Samba star continues to catch the eye.

      Lost in last post 😀

  2. David Brains - OH NO!
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What to do?

    A) Antonio --> Richarlison
    B) Antonio + Sterling --> Richarlison + Salah (-4 points)
    C) Save

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      ....and I'd probably captain Salah if I brought him in this week

      1. Bonus magnet
        • 7 Years

        is this the weekend Salah gets rested

    2. HVT

      A

    3. arndff_
      • 12 Years

      If you don't have any Pool mids, you should do B) imo.

      1. David Brains - OH NO!
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        No pool mids, and I have KDB for man city cover

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          B) for me.

    4. David Slade
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      B

  3. HVT

    Please pick 1;
    (Otam/4.5/4.5/4.5, all active)

    A - Trippier
    B - Azpi
    C - Cedric
    D - Luiz
    E - Toby.
    Thanks

    1. arndff_

      Cedric

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A for the long term, no question in my mind.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Is Trippier finally nailed?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          ish.

        2. HVT
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I think if you have active backups (this is why I mention) he’s worth looking at, his gametime is quite impressive

    3. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Trippier. Only a couple of tough fixtures to go

    4. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      B - Azpi

    5. tafrère
      • 7 Years

      B.

    Is anyone can tell me what does it mean? Jesus will start agains WBA?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Well it means that aguero doesn't need rest,he needs games

    2. AandyzZ
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Means tonight's team will be changed from weekend, so likely Jesus plays tonight not aguero

      1. AandyzZ
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        But this is pep, so probably the opposite happens..

  5. Sharkytect
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Can't believe hazards numbers. I bought him in on a wildcard in gameweek 6, thinking I would be ahead of the crowds with that one. Very little to show from that one so far

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Patience, mate.

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He's close. Due a haul soon

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

    Is Dunk nailed on?

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes he is.

    2. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. The minutes he played prove it, aight?

    3. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers

      I thought he missed some game because of his price, but he played all games all minutes!

  7. Aram95
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Elliot
    Hegazi, Jones, Davies
    Sterling, Salah, D silva, Richarlison
    Kane, Luka, Chicha

    (Lossl, TC, mbemba, long)

    Defence looks like 0 points, Luka & Kane against each other - I guess it's time to use the free hit chip..

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      How many free transfers do you have?

      1. Aram95
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        1. I'm screwed aren't I?

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

      Cash? Need to upgrade one of those 4.0 defs asap

      1. Aram95
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Mb, got 1.8 ITB

    3. Aram95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Plan B is to do Jones+Hegazi to Kiko+Ward for -4

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Sounds good.

        Personally, I prefer to play the free hit chip later.

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

        Hegazi + 4.0 out. That bench will cause you crazy headaches down the track

      3. David Slade
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Seems sensible.

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Free hit it

    5. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Do you think chicha will start with carol available?

  8. SUPER MOKH
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I'm on WC now so which line up looks better:

    Pope (Elliot)
    Azpi-Ota-Yoshi-Moreno-Hunemeier
    Silva-Sane-Salah-Richarlison-Tarrol
    Kane-Diouf-Morata
    (0.9itb)

    or

    Pope (Elliot)
    Ota-Ward-Lascelles-Moreno-Hunemeier
    Silva-Sane-Salah-Richarlison-Tarrol
    Kane-Firmino-Morata
    (0.2itb)

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I don't like Diouf as an option upfront, so I'd go with the second team

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        He could easily swap him with Abraham, for example. 🙂

        1. SUPER MOKH
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah Diouf is there because of his form, Tammy could replace him anytime.

          1. arndff_
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Welp, A)!

            Firmino is not in a very good form... Just sayin'. 😉

            1. SUPER MOKH
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Leaning towards A too, but Liverpool next fixtures give me second thoughts. Form over fixture after all right

              1. arndff_
                • 12 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                In A) you've got Moreno and Salah, which is enough Pool cover.

                No need go with 3x Pool players.

                In conclusion, go A). 🙂

                1. SUPER MOKH
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 6 months ago

                  Good point! Cheers 😀

    2. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A) because of its defence.

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        That's the idea, A with better defense but a cheaper striker likes of Diouf and Tammy. And B with lesser defense but better front trio.

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A more solid.

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Haha thank you bos, A tu sebab Diouf je rasa lemau sikit attacker. Ward & Lascelles fixtures dorang not bad lepas ni

    4. Aram95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A imo

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Leaning towards A too, I could easily play 3-4-3 and 4-4-2 with A and on the other hand B is more of 3-4-3.

    5. HVT
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A but get a fifth defender

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Hunemeier to ?

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

          Tony the Tiger?

          1. SUPER MOKH
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Frankly i've no idea who's that. So which Tony are you talking about?

    6. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Likingforst one - Firmino is surplus to requirements given you have Salah

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I could also replace Firm with Vardy there, the idea is B with better (more expensive) front three.

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

          Would rather go with Morata or Jesus, and downgrade elsewhere. Firm or Vardy are currently not worth thier price given their form

          1. SUPER MOKH
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            That's why I came up with Diouf there, he's on form with great value. Cheers.

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

    Does Davies to Trippier solve much or are we potentially just transferring in another problem?

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

      Trippier is more nailed, although may miss the odd match. Davies more likely to be rotated with rose.

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

      Another problem

  10. Razak Ping Pong
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    D.Silva & Fabregas to Salah & Richarlison - yay or nay?

    rest of squad
    Fabianski / Elliott
    Walker Davies Jones Cedric Ward
    Sterling King Lee Chung-Yong
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Or Fabregas, Vardy > Richarlison, Firmino?

      1. Razak Ping Pong
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        want to keep Vardy vs Everton, though after Koeman's sacking they might not be so bad;)
        alternatively I could do Davies / Lee to 3.9 DF and Richarlison

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Fine, do that then. 😉

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

      Silva out? Surely not

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah Silva out could backfire big time

  11. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    a) Mee
    b) Ward
    c) Kiko

    Will be my rotating defender in a 3-4-3, currently have Simpson as the other defender but honestly looking to get rid so expecting to start the defender I bring in for the next 3 or 4 weeks.

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

      Burnley for sure

    2. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Ward

    3. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers both

    4. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think Lowton or Tarko is better option from Burnley. Ward doest really deserves his extra 0.2M and Mee looks like a dropper, you might worry about your TV.

      But my suggestion if youre looking for 4.5M defender, take a look at Moreno.

      1. GAMBIT
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I am a Liverpool fan and I have seen enough of Moreno.

        But will look into Lowton/Tark, thanks for the suggestion

        1. SUPER MOKH
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Is he that bad? I just cant resist of having him with those fixtures.

  12. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What's more likely - Jones clean sheet or Brady getting returns v Newcastle?

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Both 2 pointers. 🙂

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

      United clean

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Kane will score at least one.

        1. Maddamotha
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Lol

        2. Stoke me a Clipper
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Even if he doesn't, someone will get at least one. Spurs are the second most dangerous side in the league

    3. Aram95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Isn't Jones injured?

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

        No he's fine

      2. Dybala10
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        In squad for tonight's game.

  13. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Suggestions
    DDG
    Jones/Otamendi/Maguire Sterling/Silva/Gross/Richarlison Kane/Lukaku/Vardy

    Myhill/Tarroll/Schindler/Mbemba 1.4ITB 1 FT
    Save FT? Or
    Lukaku+sterling
    To
    Aguero+Salah?

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

      Not a bad hit at all

    2. David Slade
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Very solid moves imo.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        For a hit?

  14. Deano
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Any West Ham supporters want to talk me out of Antonio to Coutinho for a hit?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Pass. Sounds good to me. 😀

      1. Deano
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Good to hear there are still some of you around mate! 😉

    2. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If you don't have any Pool mids, go for it.

      I prefer Salah though.

      1. Deano
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure but I think from history Cout scores better against teams that play defensively than their front three. With the upcoming fixtures and differential value that could be telling.

        Anyone know whether this is the case or just the wine talking.

    3. Stoke me a Clipper
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Got Coutinho myself. I've got the feeling he's gonna have a good week; long range screamer & a free kick in off the post.

      I base this on no facts whatsoever.

      Either way, looks like a good move to me

  15. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Play Joselu or Jones?
    Thanks, sorry repost.

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Joselu.

    2. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Attacker over defender, especially there's Kane

  16. FleckyT
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Out of these three, which two should I get out? (2FT)
    A) Sterling
    B) Jones
    C) Bavies

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

      Just Bavies. I'd keep the other two. Sterling if you must.

      1. FleckyT
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I'm going to wait to see how much Sterling plays midweek. If he plays the full match, then he's gone.

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

          That's fair enough.

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

    If I go Kaku and Bavies -> Azpi and Morata, is it a concern of then pricing myself out of getting Kaku back later?

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

      Yes

  18. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Yedlin or Francis at £4.4? have Elliot.

    1. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Francis, not fancy doubling up. But how about Dunk?

      1. ooooo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Have Ryan

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

    I’m looking forward to WCing, just wish players didn’t keep rising

  20. Dele
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Posted this late in the last article. This should make up my mind on my route to Richarlison.

    What option sounds better...

    A) Maguire > Dunk
    or
    B) Davies > Duffy/Moreno

    Many thanks again.

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 9 Years

      B > Moreno. Leicester will do good under new manager imo.

        Whoever that may be!

        I guess Maguire is nailed also!

    Thought on:

    A) Jesus and Stelring to Morata and Coutinho

    or

    B) Sterling and Davies to Ward and Salah?

    Advice appreciated

    Seems quite a few in the community are asking about Sterling vs Salah going forward given Liverpool's upcoming fixtures. Which will you (or would you) pick and why?

      Have both but will be ditching Sterling on WC

        Interesting.

      Need both for the next few

        That would be ideal but I've still got the heavy front 3 of Kane, Lukaku and Laca and all got points in the last GW. So would have dismantle my current team

    I hope David Unsworth left some pies for the rest of us

    Is this team unbeatable?

    Elliot (Krul)
    Mee Dunk Naughton (Rangel Rosenoir)
    Hazard Silva Ritchie Chupo Moeting (Carroll)
    Aguero Lukaku Kane

    Cheers

      No bench will bite you. Last weekend was a just a taste of things to come.

    Assuming Jones is fit for the weekend, would you play him (TOT) or Lascelles (bur)? Lascelles would mean doubling up with Elliot.

      The tougher the fixture, the bigger Maureen's bus. Play him.

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Lascelles

      0-0 fixture if ever I’ve seen one. Don’t think Mou’s bus will keep Kane out.

    3. @fpl_phenom

      Lacelles

    Thoughts on Stanislas? I’m looking at a 352 with him and Richarlison at M4/M5 on a WC.

      I wouldn't. 🙂

    Would you do Alli > Coutinho? Already own Salah and Kane.

    1. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      How about City assets then? Silva/Sane/Sterling

  28. @fpl_phenom

    I can’t see who would be dropped for RLC to start?....

    Any palace fans here think he’s a starter v West Ham?

    Salah Hazard Silva Richarlison Carroll

    Lukaku Kane Abraham

    When Pogba is back:
    A) Silva > Pogba then Lukaku > Aguero after week 14
    B) Hazard > Pogba then Lukaku > Morata week 14 and take the extra cash

    So who dumped the best valued player in the game? Jones is a season keeper

      The more that dump him the better 🙂
