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.

    If Pep rests Jesus again this weekend I'm doing Jesus & Jones > Kun & Mariappa for a 4 pt hit

    In fact, if he starts Kun this weekend im doing it

    Starting to regret Lukaku > Aguero now...

      I'm regretting the opposite... so far...

    I would of rather watched City v Wolves tonight.
    Going to be a much better game imo...

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly yet we get to watch a Double Decker bus parked on a football field

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yep.
        Mourinho loves a bus... 😉

        Man City - Wolves 0-0
        Swansea - Man Utd 0-2

        The bus scored 2 goals apparently, while the exciting City still haven't done anything. Missing a lot really.

    All i see is Jesus owners trying to convince themselves aguero will be rested this weekend, and aguero owners trying to convince themselves Jesus will be rested, BOTH WILL START.

    Chill out about it, must win game away from home why does he rest one of his 2 best players, much tougher game at West Brom than the last 2 at home.

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

      Agreed

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I own both, they'll both be benched

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

      own aguero and reckon he gets benched this weekend

  7. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    So Sterling will be warming the bench at wk end then we guess.

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

      Reckon so, his pace away in Europe is key!

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Seriously or joking, re his place away in Europe being key?

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

      Imagine the scenes of sterling starts as fw and Jesus and kun are the benched ones

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

        Haha.. Pep being Pep, this can seriously happen.

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Why, B silva started this game too, he could easily make way for sterling, besides I think he will

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Aguero in the middle, Sane on the left, and one of Jesus/Sterling on the right this weekend is most likely IMO. Seems pretty obvious that Sane will be on left with rest today. If Aguero substituted by 65, that basically guarantees his start too.

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

          West brom away followed by napoli away and then arsenal whom they have a poor record of. Which game would you rest kun ?

  8. drughi
    • 14 Years

    What to do with ritchie?

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

      Turn him into Richarlison when you've a FT

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

        I have a ft and could do that but sterling>coutinho is now temting me instead

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

          Why remove Sterling? Instead put the armband on him this week.

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

            no way I'm putting the armband on him, coutinho is different class and 3 really good fixtures coming up

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

          I've reverted from Ritchie to charlison to sterling -》 coutinio also

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

      Only 2 fewer assist than KDB

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Keep him?

  9. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Damn, McBurnie starts for Swansea. FPL might wake up and finally remove his red flag that says 'Joined Barnsley in season-long loan' despite him being back at Swansea over a month ago.

    Price will be locked for 7 days?

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

      This is clearly the big line-up news we are all missing 😉

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Significant for me. Need to get rid of him because his price will drop when the price protection period is over.

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

      Better get him quick, no time to waste!

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      This. Had McBurnie since GW1. Perfect third spot bench fodder.

  12. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Wasn't expecting both to start! They could win a domestic treble for sure.

    I love all this doubt and teasing though! Makes it more interesting.. the festive period is going to be mad rotation wise!

    Could just go Otamendi, Silva and KDB on a WC? Any takers?

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

      This. No disrespect, but surprised they could really afford to play Aguero / Jesus in a cup game. 🙂

  13. banskt
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Jones on bench. Looks like I could actually have 3 defenders on the field this weekend. What do you guys think?

    Jones (injury scare, but now on bench)
    Evans (injured and probably out for more than a month)
    Ben Davies (on bench for 2 consecutive GWs -- will he finally start this weekend?)
    Wimmer (no longer first choice at Stoke, but probably this week?)
    Cedric (the only reliable defender but price drop imminent + fixtures turn in another 2 GW)

    1. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Jones Davies and Cedric will be fine. I would bin Wimmer but at least he's fit so Evans out first

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

        Thanks. As I said below. 🙂

    2. Jet5605
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Last chance saloon for Bavies this weekend. If he's benched again then there will be a mass ditching as Rose's return also an issue.

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

        Thanks. I am so confused -- do I leave them and ditch Evans with the FT next week or take a hit?

        If I take a hit it will be Evans > Mee (he is more secure of game time than Otamendi -- game time is my primary concern now)

  14. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Ok guys predict the city lineup for the weekend

    1. Big Sum
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Walker Otamendi Stones Delph
      KDB Fernandinho Dilva
      Sterling/Jesus Kun Sane

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Spider goalie?

        1. Big Sum
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I'm the golie

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      same as against burnley but with jesus ciming in for bernardo silva

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      not even going to try to predict Pep after Jesus (C) fail last weekend

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Ederson
      Walker Stones Otamendi Delph
      KDB Fernandinho D.Silva
      Jesus Kun Sane

      Getting rid of Sterling I think

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

      Ederson
      Yaya, Yaya, Peps' Ma, Mangala
      Yaya, Yaya
      Yaya, Yaya, Bearded Silva
      Yaya

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

      Ederson
      Zinchenko Otamendi Stones Danilo
      Gundogan Bernardo Toure
      KdB Sterling Sane

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

    Hahaaa here we are trying to guess which striker starts this eve and he plays them both!

  16. Siggy in the Middle
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero and Jesus start. What a madman Pep is.

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

      Loves winning things.

    2. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yep. Two fit strikers, you'd think this would be the game to rest them.

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        They'd win anyway.

      2. Ibracadabra
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        He only starts with 1 through the middle though so really Aguero is the "Striker" and Jesus part of the wide group in the current formation with 4 defenders unless Aguero is injured/rested in which case Jesus goes centrally.

  17. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Staying well clear of City forwards, can’t cope with the doubt every week.

    Otamendi and David Silva is enough for me.

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

      Wait until they score seven.

  18. New Post
  19. _figu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Sane is going to play on weekend. I own Sterling and Jesus. More worried about Sterling's minutes so I think I'm moving him to Coutinho/Salah and Davies -> Dunk with 2 FTs.

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I can do Sterling and Eriksen to Sane and Salah for free and may consider it.

  20. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Am I mad for considering captaining Richarlison or Salah this weekend? Have a front three of Kane - Jesus - Vardy.

  21. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    No way Aguero starts 3 games in a row coming back from inj. Perfectly set up for 10 mins off the bench at WBA then the important game against nap

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

      We all know what happens with guys who are most transfered in in a GW. 🙂

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If he plays 55 today, I think he starts at West Brom.

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

        Remember when sterling got taken off at 70 midweek and everyone thought he is a sure starter with sane benched for playing the full 90?

    3. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Why is Napoli so important? They are in control of their CL group.

      People make out like they are 3rd and need to scrape through, they have 9 points and are in firm control.

  22. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What happened to "city players are worthy the rotation risk"?
    One rest and it's all panic stations.

  23. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Surely one of Jesus Sterling and Aguero wont start next week.. I own all 3. What to do?

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

      Sell them all asap

  24. mackan

    1. Pilgrim62

      • 7 Years

      No. Try to find other way to get Salah

  25. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years

    Can anyone convince me of how nailed Gomez is in the pool defence

  26. Pilgrim62
