The Big Numbers – Gameweek 12

Our regular post-Gameweek members’ article, focusing on some of the most eye-catching numbers over the previous round of fixtures, is up next.

We scrutinise a number of premium midfielders as many Fantasy managers look to invest in the centre of the park, while Spurs and Chelsea’s frontmen are also under analysis ahead of some fine upcoming schedules.

    Dann or Mee? Already have Ward

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Mee is safer. CP are not going to get many CS.

    2. Boss Hogg

      I have this dilemma too.
      Selling Jones, but who to buy?
      I'm also looking at McGuire.

      Elliot, Foster
      Ward, Alonso, Kolasinac, Daniels, xxxx

      ???

    I'm on -8 for this week. So will it hurt me a lot or it could pay off? What do you guys think?
    I sold Kun, Matic, Cedric, Chalobah and bought Niasse, Sane, Mee, Pogba.

    Elliot
    Azpi, Daniels, Mee, Naughton
    Sane, Eriksen, Pogba, Sterling
    Morata, Kane(C)

    Fab, TCarrol, Dunk, Niasse*

      I think it will hurt you in the short term but looks good long term wise.

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years

        Thanks..that was my logic for these moves.

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years

      Looks good to me

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Very good team.

    4. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No Salah?

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Eriksen to Salah next week.

    Cannot stretch to Alonso/Azpilicueta so are either of following worth getting after Liverpool game?

    A Zappacosta
    B Christensen

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      We'll probably have to stretch somehow to Alonso/Azpi, they others don't seem as nailed.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No. Especially not when Otamendi is cheaper than Zappa.

    4. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A - Moses is back soon
      B - Always a rotation risk

  4. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this team:

    Fab Elliot
    Ward Ota Daniels Naughton Hunem
    Sane Salah Richarlison CM RLC
    Kane Kun Morata

    1) Save
    2) Kun 》Wilson/Kaku
    3) Kun + CM 》Wilson + Pogba for -4

  5. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Watford will have a nice run of fixtures GW 16-21.
    Would you plan getting some defensive cover?
    Personally monitoring Gomes / Kiko..

    1. trinzoo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Richarlison is enough imho.

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Different positions. Not applicable imo. Fixtures are superb. Kiko is a good option

  6. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Eriksen likely to get rested at the weekend?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Never

    2. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No in my view. Match is a must win for spurs.

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        why is it a must win? Lets be realistic Spurs arent winning the PL this season. But the CL well maybe...

        1. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Losing at home to west Brom will be a mini shock when the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool are breathing down their necks.

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Unlikely. But i wont be suprised if he is with the number of games he has already played. Dembele could deputise

    4. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks all...

  7. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any thoughts on bringing in niasse after the weekend - ie when he just has 1 match ban?

    Looking to replace vardy with a striker 5.6m or below ...

    Thanks

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Wait till the games are played

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nothing wrong with it. Once you wont be relying on him to start every week.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'll be playing rlc as 5th mid in a 352 for a few weeks ..

        Don't really have issue with that given palace schedule.

  8. trinzoo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who is the cheapest nailed on defender ?

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Dunk

      1. trinzoo
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Same price as Yedlin who is loved here (dont know why)

    2. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Dummett would be the one soon.

    Last week I broke the news of Conte's beard, now here's a major update:

    "My beard does not depend if we win or lose. I have decided to change my look but I can also decide to cut my beard very early." (BBC)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Things like this are also reported nowadays 😮

      *facepalm*

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      There is weight to the theory that if Conte wears a hat or tracksuit then Chelsea lose

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Ooh, I haven't looked into the hat or tracksuit theory. The beard is a game-changer though 😆

  10. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I see Foden made an apparenace last night for City, so theres another player to join the rotation merry go round

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      That's stretching it a bit. He'll mostly be a part of the dead rubbers I think.

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        he is pretty good

        1. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I've seen enough of him and I know he's excellent but he's only 17. You could also be right.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No way with Yaya, Gundogan, Silva and others ahead of him

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    QaraBAR

  12. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Still big doubts as to whether Morata has the fitness to start 3 games in a week. Last time Conte did, he broke down vs City. Not a guaranteed starter midweek vs Swansea. Of course still a great option but trusting with captaincy could be an issue.

    Batshuayi injury means Conte's only current striking alternative is Pedro, who's playing upfront with Hazard right now.

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

      Wasn't Morata carrying a slight injury going into the City game?

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I think that this time round circumstances are different.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      lol

  13. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Sterling to Pogba a good move? I only have Naughton on the bench, and I have another doubt in Bavies. TIA.

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I did it

  14. Lovejoy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Boring bench decision:

    A) Maguire
    B) RLC

    Currently benching Ruben but Stoke at home is appealing.

  15. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Evening guys.

    Any suggestions / advice on changes to make this week? Struggling at the moment but thinking I might need to bring in Pogba/Hazard somehow.

    Elliot - Speroni
    Dunk - Kiko - Mee - Jones - Otamendi
    Eriksen - D.Silva - Salah - Richarlison - RLC
    Aguero - Kane - Abraham

    0.0 ITB, 2 FT

    1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero + Eriksen > Morata + Hazard?

      1. AdamJ91
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting, could be a viable option.

  16. makaveli123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    For the next 8 weeks; Silva or Sterling? Need to ship one.

    1. Jay Arell
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Silva, nailed and good stats.

  17. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Quarabag down to 10. Seemed harsh. Pen to Chelsea.

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Haz to take.

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Goal.

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Willian wins a Chelsea pen.
    Captain sent off.
    Hazard taking.

  19. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Willian brought down by a slight breeze...

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A red for that is unfair

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Didn't make any attempt to play the ball, last man.

  20. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    If you had both hazard and morata for the Swansea match which one would you captain?

    Thanks

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I've had trust issues with Hazard for a while now after I managed to get all his blanks last year, but he's slowly winning me over again. Hazard between the two I think.

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard

      Looks like he's on pens now as well. Just scored one v Qarabag

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      This is an issue with Kane in the mix too. Tricky one.

    4. Al
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard without a second thought. Midfielder goal = more points + possible cs point

    5. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Morata probably the safer pick. Hazard is such a differential still, it's good just to own him

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

      Haz

  21. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    There's got to be a better way to spend the long winter nights than doing proposed moves on the transfers page...Oh the hypothetical fun it is. 😐

  22. George Sillett
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Be great to see Chelsea 3 up by HT and Hazard given a nice little rest for the weekend to rip a good un out of Liverpool defence. ☺

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Joint best home defence in the league, though? 😛

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        True but Chelsea are beginning to put it together and it's no coincidence that Hazard has form.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah he looks great. Hard work to fit him in though, hope Morata will continue to benefit, after Saturday of course.

  23. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard is a must after Saturday.

    1. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Only if you plan to captain him he is, if you don't then he's no more a must than Sane or Salah and they are much cheaper.

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Have all 3. Been enjoying their pts even though Ive only captained Haz once for 11pts

        1. Freddo
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          That may be so and your team is very nice but it's not doing that much more for you than anyone who don't have him and have more points than you with a better rank.

          Must have by definition is a player no one can do without, this is not the case with Hazard.

          Sane, Sterling, Mane, Alli, Salah, maybe Eriksen can all go toe to toe with him for cheaper and the savings can bring more points to other areas.

          Would take the original point if he was a perma captain like Ronaldo, Van Persie, Suarez etc, those were truly must haves but the definition gets thrown about too easily.

  24. Deano
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Niassie to Tammy for -4

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Stop it

  25. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I don't care how good Hazard is, he has to stop those little flicks that come off 1 in 15.

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      This annoys a lot of Chelsea fans but with the fixtures after Liverpool it's Hazard and Morata time.

      1. Deano
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Have a feeling othe teams will man mark him so that may

        1. Deano
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Affect his output.

        2. Bun Rab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Good point. Plus playing in the middle gives him less space to go past people.

      2. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        It really does. I am one. I really don't trust Haz pens though. Already have Morata.

  26. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    so much football coming its so awesome. And no internationals until March. Christmas came early guys!

  27. Deano
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What time is Arsenal’s CL game tonght?

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      3.45 AM I believe

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      20:19?

  28. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    The 'Azpi-cross' finds Hazard but he's no Morata.

  29. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Bench?

    A) VVD (EVE)
    B) Ward (ARS)

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B of those. No Niasse no goals!
