The Big Numbers – Gameweek 21

Our usual post-Gameweek members article arrives this evening, as we cast an analytical eye over some of the standout performers over Saturday and Sunday’s ten fixtures.

Spurs’ red-hot frontman chalks up some outrageous statistics on his way to a hat-trick against the Baggies, while Dusan Tadic is more sinner than Saint after spurning chances aplenty. Elsewhere, Robert Snodgrass shows the benefits of a central role under his new manager and we check in on the impressive figures being produced by Arsenal’s overlooked wide man.

    All this talk about Costa- not wanting to continue playing next season, leaving, argue with Conte etc... Even if he comes back in the line up, would his head be in the right place? If any of those talks were true I think Conte wouldn't risk his team atmosphere and maybe he will continue with the set up and the palyers that started the last game...

      Guessing you don't own him? I'm not sure, his head has been in a good place all season and I reckon he'll be annoyed with himself. Hat-Trick incoming against Hull (Also a non owner.)

        yep, non owner,have hazard and really like him, despite everyone will take him out I think that he will explode in the other half of the season...

      I think he'll probably play this week and will do just fine.

      Have to wait to hear more from Conte of course but if you're still an owner at this point I think you keep. If you're not steer clear.

      1. Aljosa Borus
        • 7 Years

        No, I don't have him, just thinking about Conte's reaction. I wouldn't be suprised if he droped him in the next couple of games(which would be unlikely, maybe hoping cause I have Hazard and like him in the false 9 position)

      If it was a game of FM I'd leave him out and fine him his wages every week until he left.

      I did this with a wantaway striker when I was Derby manager once, every player in the squad was annoyed but I felt it was the right thing to do 😀

    How many points did you spend for hits?

    24 here

        wow. I though 24 is a lot.
        I know, what we get from it matters.
        How many points did you get from hits and how many would you get w/o hits?

          That's the thing with hits - it's almost impossible to work out if they were a good or bad thing in the long run.

          Taking into account just the week you take them is pointless if you keep the player you bring in for a long time. But even if you look at what they got over a period of time you can't say what you would have done instead

              I am a newcomer. Took all those hits out of boredom. Wish the game was like the winter fixtures where even I could save a ft.

      "Taking into account just the week you take them is pointless if you keep the player you bring in for a long time. But even if you look at what they got over a period of time you can't say what you would have done instead" is spot on; and my view on it.

      It also comes down to the gambler in you.

      Overall Rank - 1809
      Points cost in transfers - 56

      I must say I had a particularly delight week where I transferred in Eriksen and Kane for a hit and they got 40 between them I think.

      1. Dr Ennet
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        In comparison my 56 points spent on hits leaves me at 164,077 🙂 You've made some great calls with your hits mate!

        great calls can be easily interchangeable with great luck haha.

        I went -8 in in gameweek 20 for Baines, Brunt and Philips who returned a combined 32.

        Unfortunately for me the same luck doesn't transfer onto my weekly football accumulator.

    Morning all,

    How goes it?

    Any other Giroud owners waiting on news patiently? Worried that we're going to get something vague, Lukaku has already risen in price.

    It's essentially Sigurdsson to Stanislas for me this week then a hit to either do Giroud to Lukaku or Holebas to Baines depending on the news. I can actually afford both with a -8 but would prefer just the -4

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think you wait. A fit Giroud should outscore Lukaku over the next 2 with those fixtures - but Lukaku probably outscores an unfit Giroud by more than 4.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Definitely waiting, just hope we get something concrete either way from Wenger.

        Would be more than happy with Baines and Giroud 🙂

      2. Jøssy ⭐
        • 9 Years

        Oh yeah, agree with this

    2. Jøssy ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It goes very well Andy! Good morning to yourself.

      I'm a Giroud owner, and for some reason I'm fairly relaxed about it. Perhaps that's because I'm screwing more about how much Costa could hurt me after I had no patience to hold this week.

      Yeah, -4 seems plenty to be fair. Sounds like a good plan.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'm quite relaxed as well to be honest. Haven't even really been checking price changes this week, although I saw on Twitter this morning that Lukaku had risen.

        I'm hoping Giroud is fit because I'd really like him over next few fixtures, and it means I can get Baines in instead.

      Can see him making it, fancy welbz to start over iwobi too

        Not sure about that, Iwobi seems like a bit of a favourite at Arsenal.

              It was indeed. Maybe I should go back to it so I don't have to keep changing, plus no-one really uses it!

              I checked my gravs on gravatar recently. Some good memories:

              Ian Holloway
              Royston Drenthe
              Gervinho

                I hate my grav but I can never think what to change it to. Plus gravatar won't seem to let me these days. No idea why.

                7 years, 3 months ago

                Most of mine have been a variation on the current theme.

                My first grav was a green 'pinwheel' type windmill: https://en.gravatar.com/userimage/26288715/5ad43623323cab7d0f78a7fe940fd3ef.jpg

                I then made my current one as a result of being Trabzonspor in a community tournament, their nickname being the Black Sea Storm. The only changes after that have been tweaking it for special occasions.

          Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater though - now I have to reprogram my stupid brain to recognise this picture. Sometimes I don't think you care about us simpletons 🙁

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        But yes, same problem - I have Giroud and would be content if he's fit but I'm also eyeing Lukaku who I can't afford without taking a hit. Hoping for good news from Wenger but I'd lay about 20/1 on not getting it.

      Arsene being vague is a huge concern. I'm not a Gru owner but I did own Bellerin until Saturday evening.
      The scare of him turning into Wally 2.0 made me oust him as I drew my WC.
      Arsene is horrible human being having to deal with as a fantasy manager

      I'm thinking about Holebas to Baines for -4.
      Expected Baines to rise last night, but not he's not moved.
      Prices a bit wierd atm.

        Assume it's wildcards rather than the price sites suddenly getting it wrong.

        Unless the algorithm has been changed but that would be odd mid way through the season

        1. Clump
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, it's certainly WC season. Whilst it's a pest for prices, it's good for DGW S.
          I was hovering over the transfer page at 12.30 last night to beat rises. Glad I decided against.

    7. drughi

      Siggy>stanislas and holebas >baines looks like really good transfers

    8. bojack
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm just going to bench if he's not fit since I've got Stanislas at first sub. Kun & Lukaku up top presently.

      If I want to improve on Giroud I need to sell Kun for Kane and then find more cash for Gru -> Ibra..

    9. stachman

      I'm really screwed here, cause I will most probably be offline thursday-saturday... I think I will swap for Lukaku just to sleep well at night

    Hi Guys,

    Planning to go for Sanchez as the captain for this week but what's the thing abt him not getting much points at home. Is he really bad at home or just a coincidence??

    Thanks

      If giroud is out he starts upfront in which case I wouldn't consider anyone else

        Whats the rest of your team, on the face of it I wouldn't drop either

        1. AlrightGuvnor
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Current Team:

          Valdes

          Baines - Alonso - McAuley

          Eriksen - Pedro - Sanchez - Stanislas

          Costa - Defoe - Ibra

          Bench: Jaku - Phillips - Chambers - Amat

      2. AlrightGuvnor
        • 7 Years

        Already used it in Gameweek 12. Assuming Costa plays I will need to bench one. Tough one..

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one. I'd say Stan!

    3. We ain't got no histor…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one but stanislas on pens if Wilson is out gives him the edge

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      none

    5. Greek Flair
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go Stan

    Is this G2G? Who to captain if so? Ditched Kun last night for Kane, sick of him and Pep and really wanted Alonso in as he's been on my list for far too long now....

    Heaton
    Walker - Alonso - Evans
    Hazard - Sanchez - Eriksen - Phillips
    Kane - Zlatan - Carroll
    (Jaku - Pieters - Capoue - Amat)

    1. Dreams

      Sanchez

    2. We ain't got no histor…

      Choose one from Haz, sachez, ibra

    3. Arn De Gothia

    Not sure how it was for the viewers but I really enjoyed last night's scoutcast.

    Was quite shocked at the stats of Aguero when I researched them beforehand. Probably could have delivered it better but hopefully the point came across 🙂

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It was good. Still think wh/SWANS/bourne is where the "profit'' might lie...

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, we didn't touch on fixtures to be fair and that Swansea home game looks good, especially when fixtures for the other top players aren't fantastic.

        I wonder what he has to score in that game though to be considered a success. Perhaps he'll go on a little run

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          The thing is I was desperate when I bought him due to rank/position in ML. I knew the risks and it backfired big time.

          The Kane points are lost and I won't get that back, just wondering if waiting a week to assess Costa and Kane is not the way to go. I want Kane next week, just not sure if Costa or Kun should go.

            Do you not have Ibra? Or are you running the heavy front 3?

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Ibra Costa Kun

              1. andy85wsm
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Pricey!

                I think Kane has to come in as you say. I suppose hold on Costa this week and wait for news. Then potentially take him out next week if you want to keep Aguero as a differential.

                1. Christina.
                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 3 months ago

                  Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Also thinking Lukaku might troll and Baines could cover him.

          2. Morgs
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Hold aguero and Costa this week. Can make a more informed decision after this gameweek

    2. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      My mini league rival brought in aguero for Kane a couple weeks ago, delighted to see those stats show how wrong that decision was!

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Defoe and Aguero to Kane and Lukaku. It was going to be Costa instead of Kane but Mark talked me out of that bit.

    5. Clump
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sold Kun about 2 minutes after the Scoutcast Finished.
      Your stats & Jontys "midfield thug" description was the final nail.

          Sick of him. I've captained him 6 times this season 🙁 .Tunnel vision.
          All the cool kids seem to be on Sanchez.

        I know.... it's been botched from the start though. Numerous pieces of debris are washing up in SA, Mauritius and Reunion...and will keep on washing up.

        Can't believe that given the times we are living in and the tech available nothing was seen that moment it happened? Satellites? The rumor of the low flying plane in Maldives?

        Weird.

      HurryKane

      1. Ginola14

        Ibra

    2. mojoindojo

      Kane

    3. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Kane or Ibra looking good

    4. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane

    5. Dreams

      Diego

    6. drughi
      • 14 Years

      Ibra

    7. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, agree, I think Ibra might nick it but Kane is so explosive, some games he looks like getting 4 or 5

      1. mcrayeps
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        and some games he looks like a donkey

  14. Ginola14
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Early opinions on whom to bench
    Heat
    Alonso / baines / rose / brunt
    Sanchez / Erik / Ali / Phillips / Stanislas
    GRU / kaku / ibra
    Jaku. Browning
    Responses appreciated

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      AoA?

      1. Ginola14
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        But the def have great fixtures too, a giroud inj would allow Stan to play then it's a shoot out between rose and brunt depending on whether nyom can play

        1. Morgs
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Wouldn't say Rose has a great fixture but you should play him regardless. I'd bench stanlislas out of the attackers. Then again you have to play Brunt baines and Alonso really. Tough! Grateful I have zero benching headaches in my squad

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Brunt (as you have Phillips) & Stan (first sub in case GRU doesn't make it).

      1. Ginola14
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        That's what I'm on currently, thanks guys

    3. crikeybruce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      This will be controversial but I'd bench some of your Spurs players, I'm not seeing huge points this week for them.

  15. Dacra

    Save FT? Currently about 15k and want to get back into top 10k.

    Worried I have none of Kane/Lukaku/Ibra.. But Haz and Aguero could come good, right?

    Grant (Jaku)
    Mustafi - Rose - Baines (Chambers, Love)
    Sanchez - Hazard (c) - Coutinho - Alli - Phillips
    Aguero - Defoe (Diomande)

    Eden Hazard, Willian or Pedro – which Chelsea forward should make way for Diego Costa?

    Chelsea won 3-0 with a convincing performance at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, with Eden Hazard moving into the centre as a false-9, with Pedro and Willian on top form either side of him.

    Conte has rotated between the latter two for much of the season so far, so it will presumably be one of those who makes way for Costa as Hazard returns to the left flank.

    1. dicky2014
      • 9 Years

      Id bench Costa.

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think he benches Costa this weekend.

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        and achieve what?

    3. drughi
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think costa starts on the bench, same team as against leicester

    4. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone but Hazard.

    5. Poor mans Pep
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      so many costa knee-jerk sellers out there. I think he is much more likely to start (Willian making way) than be benched. All this selling is crazy before Hull at home, I am sticking.

    6. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Willian/Pedro to share game time like they have 80% of season so far....

  17. drughi
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What's your aim as far as ranking goes for this season ? What's your current rank ? I'll start top 30k is my aim and my rank is currently 316k

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Top 10k.

      Currently about 15k.

        1. Dacra
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          My best previous is 32k (Last year, first year I really spent much time, using price rise sites etc) so I'd be happy with my first top 10k!

              • 14 Years

              for top 10k that is

                • 14 Years

          Unfortunately thats not always the case

      I'm 45k roughly. Aiming for top 10k, but I think it's ambitious

      Back into a top 10k finish is my aim. Top 1k probably a stretch too far, but another top 5k might be. Current rank is 27k

    So Griezmann to MU, anybody can guess the price?

      1st £100m player

    2. A.T

      £100m

      Find it hard to believe that a transfer like that would go through in January

      And who knows what will have changed by the summer

      Any articles on this? I'd be interested in reading if you have a link?

      Griezmann is not going to Man Utd this transfer window. Only 4 weeks ago he done an interview saying he didnt want to go to the PL 😆

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Can't say I blame him. I know where I'd rather live.

        1. Kings of Lyon ★

          +1

      His clause is €100m. United will spend that easily. He's a massive Man U fan and Beckham was his idol growing up, hence why he wears long sleeves. It'll happen in summer.

        No chance, city def beyond awful at the mo, plus you only have to shoot on target to beat bravo, 3-1 spurs

    2. FPL Blow-In

      I hope so. Still no Spurs cover!!!

    Thoughts on Andre Gray at 6.2 after this week? Fixtures are decent, LEI, wat, CHE, hul, swa

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have him. Very good option when he is at home.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No thanks. Would prefer Phillips or Stanislas in midfield for cheaper.

  21. Judders

    Morning all,

    Currently have 1 FT and 3.5 ITB. Waiting on news on Giroud. Bench needs to get rid of Grabban I know. Thinking of Grabban>Crouch. Also considering Lloris>Heaton. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Foster

    Alonso, Walker, MCauley

    Forshaw, Hazard (c), Lallana, Phillips, Alli

    Ibra, Giroud

    Lloris, Love, Chambers, Grabban

    1. Ginola14
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Forshaw to Stanislas

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think you should change grabban for the sake ot it for a player that will not start next week

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Loris/heaten
      You have Foster whom is into a kind run. Heaten may give you a selection headache.

      I would get rid of Loris for bench Jakupavic and start Foster every game. Once fixtures turn swap Foster for the next goalkeeper on a kind run.

      I had grant and valdes. I missed out on 10pt last weekend because I had to pick between 2 promising ties.

      For piece of mind ditch one goalie. Heaten confuses things even nore. My opinion only

    Who wants to be a millionaire.

    Audience bench one.
    Stan Philips Rondon Alli Pedro

    Cheers

      Crikey that's tough.

      Between Rondon and Alli for me.

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I had thought Alli was the obvious choice but polls here saying Stan. Decisions decisions decisions

    3. Yorkshire Tyke
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I wish I had the luxury of this!

      Rondon for me.

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I will consider Rondon. Think it will break my heart as I brought him into the side for this kind run.
        Wasted transfer because if I bench him next week then he is bench fodder for life then.
        Tks

        1. Yorkshire Tyke
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I think Bournemouth will see 3 past Watford.

          You might want to drop Pedro as he might not start with Costa possibly coming back in?

    Good to go?

    Heaton
    Alonso / McAuley / Baines
    Sanchez (c) / Hazard (vc) / Eriksen / Lallana / Philips
    Ibrahimovic / Defoe

    Jakupovic / Friend / Pieters / Diamonde

    Looking at a - 4 next week to go 3-4-3
    Lallana - > 4.3
    Diamonde -> Lukaku

    Looking at potential trsfrs coming up...

    I'm getting myself into a corner with Kun.

    No easy access to Lukaku/Baines/Coutinho if i keep him.

    Might have to shift after all.

    😕

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have given up 🙁

      even though he had done a very good job in terms of getting points in my team

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The way I see it is non of my rivals have him and if he does anything in the next 2 he can always come back for Swansea. No harm done.

      1. Ginola14
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'd bin him without losing any sleep, other options scoring better for cheaper

  27. Kings of Lyon ★

    They Snodgrass numbers are very impressive
