With the final double Gameweek of the season almost upon us, we turn our attentions to the Opta statistics to assess the recent form of Arsenal and Sunderland.
Using the team profile data, we take a look at both sides displays from Gameweek 30-36 β a period of time that saw them play six times apiece and one that coincides with Dick Advocaatβs arrival at the Stadium of Light.
I'd get two Ramsey's for those
A if only one
B
You don't think Hazard will be rested?
He'll be rested yeah
I see, like me, you chose i) π
Aye!
I chose wine to go with option (i) - has helped immensely π
A
C) Caz
Coutinho has had 5 double-digit GW scores. I wouldn't (and am not) getting rid for Liverpool's last home game of the season.
Thanks Icon, my only reservation was I could see goals in the Qpr v Newcastle match and 2 Ft are always handy but as you say I guess there could be a lot of rotation for the last game week especially if pretty much everything is decided by then which is looking probable
No problem mate; post more next year and get yourself a grav; both will help!
How many 3, 4, 5 digit GW ranks have you had and what's you're overall rank as a result?
For me it's 0, 2, 4 but still somehow am 536th!
Surprising!
1 , 2 , 3 ...4k π
This is a thing of beauty...not quite Fibonacci beauty, but close π
0, 1, 7
1747 rank
I've had some right stinker GWs
Nice little brag there π
Not intentional, was just very surprised to realise that I have so few good GW ranks...I was actually looking to check what players I still had since GW1 when I noticed!
It's all about consistency.
7 green arrows in a row followed by 8 red
Unconsistant
I think you'll find that's actually rather consistent! π
0, 0, 6.
Rank 419.
Interesting....it really is about consistency so!
1,0,5*
0,0,7...8,958
1,3,2
1804th
Excuse the partial repost but I just can't make up my mind, now with a new option, would really appreciate some input. Cheers!!!
Option A:
GW37: Cylne, Caz & Hendo, -4
GW38: Wasi, Caz, Vardy & Kane (or a 5.8m striker with a FT)
Option B:
GW37: Bellerin, Wickham & Hendo, -4
GW38: Bellerin, Bolasie, Kane & Gomis (no FT)
Option C:
GW37: Clyne, Caz & Vardy
GW38: Kolarov, Bolasie, Kane & Vardy (no FT)
Complete fail Caz should be instead of Bolasie in option 3
not quite understanding the post dude...... are you bringing these guys in?
No that would be who I was playing, but I agree, a terrible post!
Start Schlupp or Clyne?
Clyne!
schlupp
Hey All,
Quick question for you this DGW. 100 player ML, currently in 2nd place - 13pts behind the leader.
I have Sanchez/Haz. He has Santi/Haz, and two FTs.
I can't get Rambo in without moving Haz out, but I'm considering it (Gives me Ospina/Alexis/Rambo). He can only get in one of the two. What are your thoughts on that in regard to differential? I know there is risk in moving Haz out...
Bonus question. Rambo for Haz gives me enough funds to go Toby to Ivanovic (-4), who the ML leader doesn't have. Could be some attacking returns on that the last two weeks...worth the risk?
Thanks all!
Most likely he'll get Sanchez (unless he's lurking here) so I'd get Rambo and captain him. Not sure hits for a def is the way forwatd when trying to close a gap. The above would be enough of a gamble for me.
Cheers Icon.
Yeah hits for a defender usually is a no-no for me. I figure with Ivan lobbying to play the last two and the potential to hunt for goals in the box it might be worth the risk.
Even if I just bring in Rambo for Haz I'd hesitate to captain anyone other than Alexis haha! Might just take the chance that my backline/Benteke can make up some of the difference.
Thanks for your reply though!
No problem; best of luck with it. Second in a minileague of 100 is no mean feat!
How much would these players cost? Transfermarkt tend to give lower base value prices
Howedes, Inigo Martinez, Koke, Morata, Aubameyang, Illaramendi.
15m, 18m, 25m, 16m, 12m, 22m
Thank you.
I could probably do you a deal on a job lot.
No chance Koke goes for only 25m.
Morata 20+ also and Aubameyang probably close to 15-18 imo.
I don't even know who Inigo Martinez is.
Is he the guy with 6 fingers on his left hand?
Too hard to say, tbh. A lot of factors involved. Reckon Koke could be a lot higher than 25 million though.
Panti (Davis)
Skrtel Terry Bertrand (Bruce, Pieters)
Sterling Hazard Sanchez Walters (Elmohamady)
Kane Auguero Giroud
1FT 0.9 in the bank
Leading my league 35 points ahead, thinking of swapping Berty for Kos, but what with the Hazard uncertainty and having a slightly weakened midfield compared to my rival I was considering taking a hit. Is it worth taking a -4 hit to strengthen the midfield?
I was perhaps considering Gomez but it's a bit risky imo. My rival has Hazard.
Any advice to help solve this puzzle would be very welcome. Thank you.
Sterling> Ramsey is the obvious move here
Thanks for the input. Thought about Sterling > Ramsey but my rival has Coutinho, and Bellerin, so was thinking of Kos to cover their Arsenal defender, and leave Stirling to cover Coutinho. They also have Sanchez & Giroud, just trying to match their points to keep my lead, or is this tactic not the best move?!

This is what happens when twitter gets hold of stats
Bale not on pens either!
Or plays for the best team in the league π
Worst gameweek rank of the season
A joyous 3,081,698 in GW 18
(Followed in 19 with a 2.5m nice )
3,327,879 in GW29
3,403,352 same week
2.9m same week
3,341,768 in 29 too
Carlsberg don't do bad FFS gameweeks, but if they did they'd probably be the best bad FFS gameweeks ever!
3,211,303 here.
Exact same as me
the week some dead team got a mammoth score im sure
GW 8 ....'the Southampton week' was the reverse spectacular ffs GW
Some decent scores here
Colonel ,checked yours 21 points !
3,363,767 GW29
OR 302..!!
Larsson or Gomez?!
Gomez
Ta
Hendo or Vardy this week?
hendo
Even if Vardy saved a hit?
well no but you didnt mention that
I know, having a mare tonight (see my reply above), time to go to bed
not sure why, but this made me laugh
hmm play terry or ivan?
i cant decide....
π
Terry. 2 goals in 2 games.
you cant account for defs scoring goals....its not the same as forwards..........terry and ivan are both capable too
could play both i suppose
Is playing both an option.I have same dilemma
can do.........just more risk i guess, played both this week
To get kos in I have to get rid of Ivan Terry or skrtel.which would you do.
i guess ivan as he releases the most funds leaving you free to do whatever net week
My thoughts too and he's not been great recently.cheers shoe.
Terry all day long, but surely you are playing both - WBA have no treat
Guys what would your recommend for my team this week?
Panti
terry Pva kosc (Jagielka/Skrtel)
Haz Sanchez gomez silva (alby)
Kun Kane Gru
Leading my ML by 37. How do I look for this gameweek? 0.4 itb.
GTG
100 pts+ incoming
Time to wrap up your ML. Who you captaining? Sanchez?
Sanchez. Yes sir. First time playing vs people in my ML that are old timers. Feeling pretty good
Got Ozil and Defoe for a hit.
Sterling and N'Doye out. What u think?
Nice move. I'd like Defoe but I can't bring myself to ditch Kane this week.
Wanted Wickham as Sunderland attacks more from the left, but had no enough money for him.
Have Sanchez, Kosc and Panti also
Good moves. Both dgw'rs
Reply failed
ty
Probably not huge news and sure he hasn't got large ownership on here but saw Gary Cahill in Vilamoura, Portugal this evening.
NOT playing this weekend.
Photo or it didn't happen.
How old are you!!!
Old enough to take a photo π
Are u guys getting Richie or Wilson from Bournemouth next season?
Obviously.. Doesn't matter who else may be available. They may not even be at Bournemouth. Worth keeping an eye on though
With a FT, would you do Mignolet -> Panti if it means having to play Myhill (ars) or Panti (che) in GW38? Mignolet has Stoke away in GW38.
Both will get poor scores next week but Migs could get a cleanie this week and I'd prefer to punt on that plus have an extra FT..
Yep, me too.... just the lure of a DGW π
panti
Thanks. Who would you stick between the posts in GW38?
Any ideas what I should do? Leading ML by 34 points
0 ITB, 1FT
Panti
Terry, PVA, Schlupp (Dawson, Wasil)
Hazard, Ramsay, Sanchez(c), Coutinho (Wanyama)
Kun, Kane, Gru
A - Cout > Gomez
B - Kane > Defoe
C - Save
A
Anyone else for Gerrard? Last home game ever for Liverpool, will either be a fairtytale ending or a red card for getting over pumped up. Should be fun either way, televised too. I'm in π
Coutinho + Gerrard would probably be too much, right? π
Hell yeah! Coutinho has at least a year before his last Liverpool home game π
Hahahaa
Thought you had already decided to do it last night.having second thoughts.go for it.
i think hes made his mind up π
we can only give him the blindfold and cigarette π
Bound to be benched by Sri Lanka for the semi final if I do it π
for one differential.....pfffff your manager has a rod up his butt
I had.. Never too late to called back from the edge though
To be honest it would be a fairytale for him to score a couple in his last ever game for his boyhood team. Fairytales don't normally come through though.just saying.
last home match at anfield is always a laugh.....usually for the right reasons π
i just hope hendo finishes on a high too
Yeah I benched him last week unfortunately so have to play him this week.I think they will all put a big shift in to get the win for Gerrard.
0/ think I'm doing Hazard + Navas > Gerrard + Ramsey -4
Yeah why not.could work out.
Can we play all 15 players this week please??
Have Krul, Vardy, Aldy, Schlupp all capable of getting points this week on my bench!
Yeah, similar problem here so saving my FT. Might end up benching Fonte, Aldy and Albrighton. Tempted to bench Hazard tbh!
I know right.. Too well prepared!
I'm playing Haz, don't think he will be rested, and if he is he surely will be getting the day off and I'll get Vardy off the bench.
Used my FT to get Gomez in for Phillips for 3 ars, 2 sun
Nice, I think I'll start Hazard but I reckon he'll be on the bench and I'll be dreading a 1pt cameo. Probably too risky to not start him though!
Yeah I've got 3 x Ars and 1 x Sun, and that'll do me. 2 x FT in Gw38 might be really valuable if only to offload my Saints defenders!
Yeh true, I'm just a sucker for DGW players!
I'm sure it won't be a cameo - don't quote me on that though haha!
You're dreaming if you think Newcastle can keep a cleansheet!
Haha ok, 14 players π
It is QPR though...
Krul could and probably will get save points or possibly even a penalty save...doesn't have to be a c/s for him to score points
True. But I can't see any more than 3 points max for him. Newcastle are a shambles. We'll see.
Agreed, 3, maybe 4. Still not a bad score for a GK...I'd take it every week if you offered it to me!
why u guys so sure that hazard wont play ??
we're not, but since hes the easiest route to sanchez, ppl will justify anything
I think he will play, I just think Gerrard will do better this week
Start Cesc or Siggy this week?
Cazorla Ozil or Giroud???
Currently have Ramsay and Sanchez
I'd get Koscielny or Giroud, tbh.
I have those 2 and Giroud. Sticking by him but his form is worrying. If I could pick again i'd prob go Ozil.
I am benching Hazard for next GW.
And play Vardy before him.
Thanks for the info. Please keep us updated on your future progress and plans.
You Liverpool fans are really awful. That's one of the main reason why I hate that club so much.
Haha relax mate. I'm just playing with ya π
If just playing, a simple smiley helps π
Ok, sorry, I am sleepy.

#Fifa98 dream team,
Hazard won't be rested, hasn't been all season. Mourinho will want the youngsters to experience playing along side him I reckon. Brace incoming.
This may be wishful thinking as he hasn't got a brace all season; playing with the youngsters is less likely to make him produce more than he has playing with the same (quality) players he has all year IMHO
9 years, 8 hours agoTo get Ramsey, would you sell
A) Hazard
B) Coutinho
