The Big Numbers – Gameweek 29

Our first article for members over the international break arrives this morning. With double Gameweek 34 in mind, we check out a pair of Manchester United assets in light of their win at the Riverside Stadium. The approaching double-headers also find us assessing an improved display from Middlesbrough’s lone frontman and the recent “Allardyce effect” on the Crystal Palace defence.

We also delve into Chelsea and West Ham’s attacks and run the rule over Leicester City’s in-demand frontman, as the Foxes’ renaissance continues.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    1 FT, 2.1M ITB

    Want to get Alli and valencia in my team - although with Gabbi and Sanchez not sure if they are injured.

    Any suggestions on transfers?

    Heaton Jaku
    Walker Alonso Coleman Pieters Amat
    Sanchez Mane Siggy King Allen
    Kaku Defoe Gabbi

      Injured players -> non injured players.

        7 years, 1 month ago

        Gabbi? Sanchez? Nah, I'd hold even if rule out for a couple of weeks.

        Get Valencia for Coleman, or for Amat if Shanchez and Gabbi ruled out. Or hold.

    If Southampton v Arsenal is GW35, a GW35 WC with Yoshida, JWP and Gab as effectively the GW36 bench in a 4-4-2 could work......?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Im on GW34 WC with Redmond over JWP but 3 SOTON and 442 on 35

    2. Costa's Counsellor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I really don't see any value in Yoshida. They haven't defended well at all this season and he's dreadful.

  3. The Legend Squad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What's my priority transfer?

    Grant Jaku
    Alonso Valencia Williams Evans Amat
    Alli Siggy Coutinho Mane Fletcher
    Aguero Lukaku Llorente

    0ITB, 1FT, willing to take a few hits

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Good squad , Williams out for Cedric/Yoshida is the only move I can think of. Could save a FT to get Sanchez next week tho

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Amat and Fletcher probably need to be DGW players available ?

    3. Costa's Counsellor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Looks fine

  4. Klopp For The Kopps 😆

    Costa vs Alonso :

    Baseline looks the same for me as Costa is as likely to score as Alonso is to keep CS.

    It's all about the extra points,
    What's more likely to Happen,
    Costa Brace?
    Or
    Alonso CS + Goal/Assist?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Costa brace

    2. Paul
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      easily costa brace... don't see them keeping much cleanies now and I'm Alonso owner over here

    3. Costa's Counsellor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Any silly goal nackers Alonso though - see soft penalty last week.

    Since its international break thought would be a good idea for people to vote for their favourite posters just to appreciate their hard work. For me my two favourite are

    Ruth and FPL Virgin.

    Both juggernauts of the FFS community and their insight is invaluable.

      Conducted this yesterday to a great response from some people and a filthy link from wild Rover and a lol from Tony Hibbert. Everybody knows you love Ruth. I think you have shown enough support for him.

      1. Wild Rover

    What are the thoughts on this bunch?

    Jakupovic
    Alonso Mccauley Coleman
    Mane Alli Siggy King
    Kun Lukaku Llorente

    Foster Yoshi Davies Ake
    1ft, 1.1m cash

    Planned for Gabbi but injury changed that.

    Would it be better to upgrade Yoshi > Mawson? Or should I invest the money in midfield?

    Any thoughts appreciated

    1. ScotDougie
      • 8 Years

      Personally don't fancy aguero at his price , 3 moves aguero to Vardy ( becomes ibra 34
      Mane to Alli
      McCauley to valencia

      1. ScotDougie
        • 8 Years

        Whoopsie
        2 moves lol my bad

        1. ScotDougie
          • 8 Years

          And Davies to Pedro ?

            • 8 Years

            Leave yoshi for your bench boost and get Valencia

    2. Costa's Counsellor

      Well, you really should have waited with the Valencia move because he has two games to play for Ecuador. But definitely wait closer to deadline and then Gab out if he misses 2 or more gameweeks.

    Hi all

    Priorities here? 3.0 itb, 1 ft:

    Randolph Jaku
    Alonso RFM Pieters Coleman Brunt
    Siggy Antonio Mane Eriksen Fletcher
    Kaku Kun Llorente

    Antonio out if injured, plus maybe RFM out for a Saint def?

    Not sure yet, so any advice appreciated!

    1. Paul
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio definitely maybe FM or Brunt out as well

      1. Individual
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm, just had a look - can do Mahrez&Bertie in, or Valencia&Tadic

        Kind of prefer the former actually

    2. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      valencia in for RFM
      antonio to some other mid

      1. Individual
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, Antonio would probably become Tadic I guess, but not the best range at 7 or less!

    3. Holte Enders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Brunt to Valencia, Antonio to Pedro, then eventually RFM to SOU Def

      1. Individual
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I like Valencia coming in now, was thinking Bertrand but long term why not just get Tony now

        I think I'd take a punt on Tadic over Pedro just because the ML rival I'm chasing already owns!

      2. Individual

        Cheers

  15. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If Antonio is out:

    A) Brunt » Valencia
    Antonio » Alli/Pedro
    (Bench Snoddy & Maguire)

    B) Brunt » Valencia
    Snoddy » Pedro
    (Bench Antonio & Maguire)

    C) Antonio » Alli/Pedro
    (Bench Snoddy & Brunt, play Maguire)

    D) Snoddy » Pedro
    (Bench Antonio & Brunt, play Maguire)

    E) Brunt » Valencia

      I suppose he can't take them and head them in because you can't touch the ball twice in a row.

        There are certain letters that don't have any corresponding letters in English. 7 is for a strong "H". 5 is for a strong "KH" like when you say "Achtung" in German. My name for example is Aladdin however it's not pronounced with an "A", it's more of a "3ala2eldin"

        I don't agree with Negredo who could be a good punt with those 2 matches vs bou and SUN.
        Bourn are attacking and sunderland are not good.
        if you're saying it will be for Diomande, it's a no brainer for me 🙂

      Benteke too much of a punt, awful fixture and no form. But you never know with a big belgian fella 🙂
      Negredo has good fixture but I don't have the stats and I don't watch Boro playing 🙂

    Any Arsenal fans know what's going on with Ozil ?

    Talk of a fallout with Wenger, hamstring injury etc ... Does this open the door for the likes of Welbeck ...

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      he's as good as gone.

      1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would Welbeck be worth a shout ...he can play across the front three ?

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Time for a change of formation I hope. Ozil was the only player forcing the 4-2-3-1 formation. Just depends whether Wenger is willing to leave his comfort zone to save the season

          1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Interesting ... the potential is there for Welbeck but trying to second guess Wenger's team sheet is a nightmare

        2. FPL_Hazards

    Spurs have three amazing games in GWs 30-32 that are played within a single week... Well almost, as they play on saturday, wednesday, then saturday, so technically within 8 days...

    These are all games I'd like to have a Spurs defender, but Rose might not play in any of these... Do you think Trippier will play the Wednesday game, for instance, as Walker had that thumb concern and Poch might want to rotate given 3 games in 8 days... Maybe Verts is the best bet to buy in now, and then maybe get Rose with WC?

    Thoughts?

    2. Costa's Counsellor

      Rotation would worry me

  26. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Grant, Jak
    Davies, Olsson, Valencia, Coleman, Fuchs
    Siggy, Erikson, Mane, Sanchez, King
    Vardy, Lukaku, Gabbiadini

    I foolishly took a -8 on Saturday night before Gab got injured. Would you:

    1. Wildcard, save my blushes
    2. Hold and swallow the f**k up with Gabbi, deal with it if hes out the following Gameweek

    If 1, what players do I bring in/take out on a wildcard? 0.3 itb

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd suck it up just now

    2. Funkyav
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      if you have already taken a minus 8 I would be tempted to WC, get a couple of DGW defenders on your bench

    3. Costa's Counsellor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Guzzle it down.

    4. Sahil Yadav
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Do you have your Bench Boost intact? If yes then save the WC and use it with BB before DGW.

      And your team looks nice.. no need of a WC. Just some sensible transfers over a period of time and not too much hits.

      You might consider downgrading one of your 8 attackers, depending on the formation you play. 3-4-3 is safest but with not too many options in attack, you might want to stick with 3-5-2.

      If Gabbi is out long term then do Gabbi>Barnes and get Alonso for Fuchs.

    Sorry, I'm really bad...
    I read a lot of people are saying a definite no for Benteke or Negredo for DGW34.
    Benteke could be a stretch with 2 awful fixtures in a team with no attacking form. But as I said above, you never know with a big Belgian fella. And he did wonders 2 years ago in a DGW...
    Negredo on the other hand, has good fixtures (bou / SUN). I don't have the stats and don't wath Boro on TV, so I don't know if he's worth it.
    Otherwise, there are other SGW players with good fixtures you can get.
    For GW34, which would be your prefered 3 forwards to play ?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      are you sure that's everything?

      1. Gilles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        I could add some other things. But I finally got close to the end and was afraid of touching the Ctrl button again 🙂

    2. Gilles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe a combo of Ibra / Negredo / Kane to start with... as I don't see lots of SGW forward players that are worth it in 34.

      1. Sahil Yadav
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Squeeze in Deeney instead of Negredo

        1. Gilles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          1 game only vs 2 games for a more or less same level of player in my opinion.
          So I would go for Negredo.

      2. Gilles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Arsenal, Liverpool and Bournemouth have good fixtures but no nailed on FWD.
        Llorente, Defoe and Deeney are worth a shout but only 1 game vs 2 for Negredo.
        Lukaku is away to West Ham which is not easy. I'm not sure I want to sell him though...

        1. Sahil Yadav
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Negredo might not even score that much in two matches than the others can do in one

          1. Gilles
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Maybe.
            Lukaku would be the only one I would consider giving his current form and the price I bought him at.
            Other than him, it's between a punt on 1 average SGW player and 1 average DGW player...

    5. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stay clear. Form over fixtures. When was the last time he scored? (1 goal since Boxing Day.)

      1. Gilles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure about the stats of Negredo. Yes 1 goal, but I hear a lot about Deeney and for me these kind of players go on patchy run of form. They are not consistant enough to be trusted on a long period of time.
        Which for me rules out Deeney simply because he already had his turn.
        On the other hand, Negredo hasn't 🙂

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

    Sanchez, Firmino, Barkley, Siggy, Carroll
    Lukaku, Costa, Llorente

    1FT, 1.2itb

    What would you do?
    A) Firmino to Alli and Baines to Alderweireld/Valencia
    B) Firmino to Alli and Brunt to Ben Davies
    Keep 1m for Costa to Ibra later
    C) Barkley to Eriksen and downgrade Brunt to a 4.5 defender

        1. Paul
          • 13 Years

            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            How about Firm>Alli and Brunt>Vert? I was not considering him since he was out with injury and has a rotation risk. Am I wrong about it?
