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.

    My worry is kun stays on until he breaks the record. Better score early

    Anyone notice who is not even on the City bench?

        Bingo! The only 2 who aren't a guessing game imho.

          Agreed.

        LOL! I caught this one. very funny

        And his dog...

    I wrote last week that I felt the time seemed right for Bernardo Silva to join the starting merry go round for City....and so it seems now with back to back starts.

    Do we need to factor him in to merry go round now as well?

    He's a problem on top of a problem for City picks IMO...

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      And Gundog. Peps first transfer when he went to City, and a firm favourite of his.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yep..him as well..Sheesh.

      2. JogaSemmedo
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        This. If he stays fit he will be starting before long. The fact Pep has managed to convert two attacking wingers/inside forwards into the deep playmakers vital to his system is a testament to his managerial skills. However Gundogan is proper conductor and if he can stay fit he will be a big part of the side.

    Expecting Sterling, Jesus, Sane front three at the weekend. Don't see Aguero (or Bernardo) starting 3 games in a week with Napoli and Arsenal coming up.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      yeah I feel kinda dumb now doing lukaku>aguero last night

    2. JJO
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly what I think
      With KDB and Silva behind them

    3. On The Up
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Totally agree. Playing sterling and Jesus then getting rid of both

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

      I hope your right.

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

    Rage wc coming

  6. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Pep is a mad man. 😆

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

    seriously regretting lukaku to kun last night

    not only because kun starts, but because sane doesn't and bernardo does

    safe to suggest sane will start this weekend, and i expect sterling to too

    leaving one of kun/jesus, and jesus was rested vs burnley...

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Bet Sane doesn't start at the weekend now.

      • drughi
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        agree

      • HNI
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Think I will keep Jesus then...

      • Yozzer
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        See who plays what tonight

        1. J T
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          We already know..

      • Pooodle
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Early transfers are definitely not worth it when it comes to Pep being involved...!

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

        Sané nailed for the weekend.

        Rest is unknown.

      • Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I think everyone is reading too much into this line up and my money would be on aguero starting this weekend

    2. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      @Bemba, Brazil and Argentina play their next friendlies in Europe so travelling distance won't be an issue.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        that's good news to some extent. I just really worry about pep during november/december. It's a really bad feeling

        1. VS10_
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          You won't get many league starts in a row around those times from either.

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Been wrestling with whether to dump Sterling for Richarlison this week, probably going to have to happen in next few days now. I can't afford to eat another Sterling benching and possible RLC 1-pointer as comfort.

    4. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Only way this is resolved is if one of the City outfield players picks up an injury. 😉

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Two...see above....

        1. Digital-Real
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          if he puts in a below par display today, we can surely rule him out?

    5. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      La(c)azette.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Seriously looking at it.

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          All of the big 3 for ARS didn't even make the bench.

          1. Bald Eagle
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Agreed, Kola, Kos and Monreal all nicely rested.

            1. Yankee Toffee
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Haha, I meant Sanchez, Ozil and Laca but that works too.

              1. Bald Eagle
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 7 months ago

                Hehe, yeah I kniw, was trying ti be funny with no success. 🙂 🙂 🙂

    6. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Does Pep play blindfolded darts to select his team ?

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Wants Kun to break the record at home and Jesus said he wants to help. He'll come off as soon as he scores.

        1. J T
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Haha like the players pick the team sheet

        2. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          is this official.? coz I like it

    7. herman murman
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Injury to kun or Jesus would solve a lot of problems. My god man! It's only a game. What are u thinking

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Kun more likely as we know he is just fitter and better version of Studge

      2. Pooodle
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Apart from that happened last time and then Aguero coming back from injury killed all of us Jesus owners...1

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

      I hate owning city players, never know if there gonna start two is stressful enough, glad I don't own 3

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Silva and Ota are the only ones worth it.

        1. nkhoughton
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I might hold then go jesus to lukaku when fixtures get better for united

        2. J T
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Not true. Stones KDB Walker are all good options

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Walker is a card magnet. Stones ate paint chips as a kid. KDB very good.

    9. ooooo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ryan
      Azpi Davies Otamendi Ward
      Salah Silva Richarlison
      Kane Jesus Vardy

      Elliot Jones RLC Carroll

      Got 2FT. Should i do Davies + RLC to Dunk + Choupo?

    10. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      With both Jesus and Kun starting today...
      which looks better for next 6?

      1) Jesus + Oatamendi
      or
      2) Kun + Ward/Mee

      I asked next 6 as although Kun is a hit will Oatamendi cover him over Mee?

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Ask pep, bad answer but no one knows who will play

    11. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I guess Jesus is not safe captain choice this week which leaves me to choose from Hazard or Kane if I dont bring in Sanchez..

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Going Salah
        Think he scores 1 so safe 7-8 pts atleast
        Kane looks blank incoming considering they not scored at Old trafford since almost 4 years..Plus bailly back too

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

          Going Coutinho, he must be due 1.

      2. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Jesus > Laca

    12. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Whats the best thing for us now? 3:0 City first half with Kun breaking the record? That should give us some clue in the way subs are made in 2nd half.

      Lol, who am I kidding, its Pep. Delph at 9 for the weekend.

    13. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero to come off for a rest as soon as they are 2 goals ahead and both Aguero and Jesus will start at the weekend. You heard it first here.

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Think you correct as Jesus got his rest last week

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        If you say so.

    14. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      So after blindly punting on Lukaku to Aguero last night, I now have 3 City attacking players who are starting in the League cup...

      Pep; you’re brilliant but stuff of FPL nightmares

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Luka to Kun was blind...Luk will play 100% all matches and only chel match looks blank in next 6

    15. HD7
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Plan to make Kola to Daniels and then to invest the money in upgrading Sterling to Salah?

      Elliot
      Walker Jones Simpson Kola
      Sterling Atsu Eriksen
      Kane Kaku Jesus

      Subs: Fabianski, Carroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

      1. potatoace

    16. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Can't recall it specifically, but I'm sure Sane only starts and plays >60 minutes at home. Still fancy Sterling to start Saturday. Less so Aguero..

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        that happened a lot last season yes. fingers crossed

          Don’t mind that if he gets one himself...

      Aguero / Jesus

      The one who plays the whole 90 tonight wont start this weekend

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        If Jesus is benched 2 PL games in a row he's gone for good.

    21. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Pep's just getting Aguero back up to speed. Nothing to see here.

      1. Deano
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        For Napoli

    22. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If Pep sub Kun early i believe he will start at the weekend.Napoli-Man city is on Wednesday.I don't think that Kun will not play for 8 days.

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Aguero owner?

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

        Yeah see above

        Jesus Aguero... the one who plays less mins today starts on Saturday

        Can see Aguero subbed off after scoring one goal and playing 60 tonight. Which imo would mean only one of jesus or sterling starts at west brom
