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.

    FPL suggesting Lanzini????!

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Fffix suggested Sterling to Ritchie for me this week

      1. tisza

        Always ignore ffix transfer suggestions.

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years

      utterly bonkers

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

    This worth a -8?

    Aguero* + Chalobah* + Jones*
    >>>
    Wilson + Hazard + Otamendi

    Wanted Hazard next week but uncertainty around Aguero may force my hand this week. Would’ve preferred Niasse + 1m over Wilson too but he looks set for a ban.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Great

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

      Yes

    3. Rash
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good... I'm resisting temptation for now as I too plan to make the move next gw

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

      Did something similar:

      Aguero+Chalobah+Cedric+Matic
      >>>>
      Niasse+Sane+Pogba+Mee

      I have Kane&Morata so don't mind Niasse's ban.

  3. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on the WC team?

    Lacking Chelsea defence obviously but not sure how to get someone in there:

    Pope Elliot
    Otamendi Daniels Moreno Simpson Dunk
    Hazard Salah Sane Richarlison RLC
    Kane Morata Wilson

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

      Looks fine - if I were wild carding i can't think of having a team without Lukaku or Pogba though.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not to thrilled about them considering fixtures but agree Pogba is good value, just prefer Hazard Salah Sane myself

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

      Kiko over Simpson is he's fit

      Mee over Moreno. Liverpool won't keep a clean sheet in the next 3 games

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'm not sure about Watford defence, very lucky to keep a cs against WHU

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

          Sundays match has put me off Kiko. Hammers should have scored three.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Looks great imo. Consider Mee as well for the easier home fixtures, unless your averse to double ups.

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        you're*

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

      If I make the moves above I’d have a very similar team, I like it. I’ve got Azpi, Ward + Hunemeier instead of Moreno, Simpson + Dunk.

      Pogba would be nice but can’t have them all.

    5. Jsadler95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Looks pretty spot on tbh. After I do my 2 transfers next week it'll be near enough the same as mine bar Wilson, Otamendi, Simpson and Dunk. I have Niasse, Azpi, Jones and Fernandez instead.

    6. Vlekz
        6 years, 5 months ago

        You got morata. So maybe hazard to pogba and a defender to Chelsea def

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Don't think in terms of attacking cover, but there is a case to made for Hazard Moreno over Pogba Azpi for example indeed

        2. SAY MY NAME
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          this - i'd want another city mid or maybe pogba, and azpi/alonso, can live without hazard imo

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

      Speroni
      Mee/Cedric/Mustafi
      Silva/Salah/Sane/Richarlison/RLC
      Kane/Morata

      (foster | Jones/naughton | Chicharito)

      GTG? dont want to burn -4 on gk swap.

      1. Carlton P
        • 8 Years

        Foster > pope should have been done by now, would have been in profit

      2. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Yes

    8. GXNG
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      So Conte said that he's gonna need his whole squad during this busy period. In what way does that mean Azpilcueta is nailed and Christensen isn't?

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

        (c)

      2. Ramboros
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Christensen and Luiz only play in the centre.

      3. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Azpi (c), can also play RWB/RB

    9. Ramboros
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      UCL Fantasy didn't put points on Sané because he wasn't in the squad. I forgot about him and subbed off a 2 pointer instead. Annoying stuff.

    10. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Pick 1 pls:
      1)Elliott
      2) Pope

      A)Mee
      B)Daniels

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years

        Pope. Daniels. Easy.

        1. Kuzser
          • 7 Years

          Sorry, mixed up: Mee or Naughton?

        2B for this week

        2B or not 2B...

        Nah, just 2B for the win.

      Repost:

      a) Elliot & Naughton
      b) Fabianski & TCarroll (I have Daniels)

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years

        Carroll won't play though

    12. Woy_is_back

      Mee rising tonight!?

      Are we selling Jones? If so, why? If not, why? If maybe, why?

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

        Yes; need a playing defender.

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

          Best option upto 5.9m?

          Have:

          Elliott - Speroni
          Jones* - Daniels - Ward - Naughty - Mbemba

          1. Ha.
            • 8 Years

            Take a hit and get Azpi

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

        I think Jose will save him and hope he's fit to play Arsenal and City. Not worth holding for me. Kicking myself I brought him in last week. We learn..

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

          I rarely learn 😀

          Best option upto 5.9m? Keen not to necessarily use all of it, maybe 4.5m def?

          Have:

          Elliott - Speroni
          Jones* - Daniels - Ward - Naughty - Mbemba

          1. My heart goes Salalalalah
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Otamendi?

    14. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thinking Vardy > Wilson (free) either this GW or next to free up funds to bolster D and/or mid. Thoughts on whether to let Vardy play the Hammers before shipping him? Bournemouth have Swansea away.

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

        Let Vardy play, West Ham are absolutely rubbish at the moment.

        1. Boxwoods
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          That they most certainly are!

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

      Im a bit late but LOL @ Liverpool

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

      Thoughts on Fabregas?
      Not having enough money to reach Hazard, I'm considering if he could be a nice and cheap differential for their great fixtures..

      1. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Zaha; Moting and Richarlison are great options in that bracket. Also, Fab will use up one of three CFC spaces in your squad.

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

          I know but having Morata and planning to get just 1 of their defenders there will anyway be 1 remaining CHE spot in the team.

          1. SAY MY NAME
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            bit of a rotation risk even though he's played regularly recently, could still pop up with points, but prefer Richarlison/Gross etc and save a bit of money, or splash a bit more cash for Pogba/Sterling level player

            for the same kind of money i'd prefer another azpi/alonso than fab, still have attacking potential, plus bonus of clean sheets and should be more nailed

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

        What about kante

      Never mind Jeff Stelling’s derision, expected goals – xG – is here to stay

        That's because he always expects Hartlepool to score and it hardly happens. 🙂

      • 8 Years

      2.6 in the bank

      Have Pope in goal and in defence have :

      Daniels
      Azpi
      Duffy
      + 2 x Fodder

      Best defender to get?

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

        Mustafi

        1. Spockazulu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I am also strongly considering Mustafi, probably would do Monreal if the funds allowed.

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

      Anyone in two minds about what to do with Tammy this week, worth knowing that he can not play in GW14 against his parent club.

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

        Wouldn't have played him in that fixture anyway...

    20. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Niasse is my third striker, so can play RLC for the next two matches.

      No need to stress me thinks.

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

        Do we think Calvert Lewin will take his place starting for those 2 matches?

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

      Elliott - Speroni
      Jones* - Daniels - Ward - Naughty - Mbemba
      Eriksen - Salah - Silva - RLC - Carroll
      Kane - Lukaku - Vardy

      1 x FT, 0.4m ITB

      Shit team, please help....

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

        Jones to a Chelsea defender and downgrade Vardy. You could also wait for another week.

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

          That's what I'm thinking, save FT this week and have two next to conduct mini-surgery?

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

            Yep. Sounds good.

            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            5.8, I suggested him on your post above too. I made that move and hoped you could second my decision!

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

      Can Burnley lock out Arsenal? Play Ward?

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

        I doubt it but they'll certainly try..

      2. HoldingMeeStones
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Unlikely, but I may have to play him anyway due to injuries

      3. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        They sure can. 50:50 for me. If they concede though they'll probably concede a couple.

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

        With the NLB win just the other day i can see Arsenal getting 2-3 goals.

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

      VVD (EVE, mci, bou) to any defender for 5.5m and below worth a hit this week?

      Can bench him next week for Ward and reassess in GW15. But have to get rid of him sooner or later.

    24. The_Bar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Do people have any opinions on the preferred Chelsea defender?

      Azpilicuetta or Alonso? 0.1 in it at the moment, Az has more assist potential, Alonso more goal threat potential, Az... less risk of rotation-ish?

      I want one of them, can't afford both. Have Morata, can't fit Hazard into Salah, Sane, Zaha, Richarl + Gross midfield ( Zaha to Pog will happen eventually )

      1. Spockazulu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Azpi if you want security of game time, Alonso higher upside but probably the bigger rotation risk. I think they will likely score very similar over the next month or so.

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

          Thanks for the links!! I was searching for something but came up blank! i'll give that a look. ta.

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

      Have Sane, Salah, Richarlison, Choupo and RLC.

      Who to loose for Pogba?

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

        Richarlison

      2. Ha.
        • 8 Years

        CM

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

          Was thinking the same but he has good fixtures CM and is playing basically as their main Striker

    26. Spockazulu

      Need some help, pick 1

      A) Cresswell LEI
      B) Mee ARS
      C) Doucoure new

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years

        c

      2. Dreams

      3. The_Bar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Probably Doucoure, he looked really good against West Ham, pulling a lot of strings, just so happened Richa got the points.

      4. Spockazulu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

      Two questions:

      A) Best cheap striker under 7m going forward?

      B) Best heavy hitter under 10m - own Salah.

        A. Abraham
        B. Coutinho/Mane.

        A) Niasse post ban if he carries on starting, Callum Wilson has potential but needs to be consistent,
        B) for under 10, in a few weeks time, Alli could come into his own, but for right now Sane looks unstoppable, Pog needs monitoring as well.

      In a pickle having Jones Bailly and Niasse. Hopefully one or both of Jones Bailly will play. Bailly has gotta go next week.

      So, are Kun owners finally beginning to understand their delusion for him being the Messiah of their team?

        It's all gone a bit quiet, certainly.

          The abuse from practical arguments against has certainly reduced lately!

        Kun is the messiah, just Pep is the anti-christ

        You could easily replace 'Kun' with 'Kane' or 'Lukaku' in that question.

        City will score 100 goals this season, and Aguero will be their top goalscorer.

    30. CloudSky

      Which one?

      A: Alonso, Pogba (no City)
      B: Courtois, Sane (no Utd)

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

        A

    31. Salarrivederci

      This team looking good the next many weeks?

      Elliot Speroni
      Otamendi, Monreal, Aké, Wimmer, Lowton
      Salah, Silva, Hazard, Richarlison, RLC
      Agüero, Kane, Niasse

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

      Looking at this, no room for Pogba right?

      Pope/Elliot
      Azpi/Otamendi/Ward/Daniels/Hunemeier
      Salah/Sane/Richarlison/Hazard/RLC
      Kane/Morata/Wilson

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

        Yeah. No room.

      2. El_Shaw
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah with that midfield you don't need Poggers.

        Whats your TV? Sounds expensive.

      Speroni likely to get dropped?

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

        Why?

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

          He's shit?
