The Big Numbers – Gameweek 32

We delve into the Gameweek 32 Opta data this morning in the first members’ article of the week.

Man City’s in-form front man is amongst a host of candidates under analysis, with a pair of Palace attackers also on our radar ahead of double Gameweek 34. We also assess Spurs’ weekend hero as the transfers-in escalate before taking a look at the downturn in output by Arsenal and Swansea City’s main men.

    Let the madness begin.

    Which one? Might need for affording Ibra
    A) Siggy -> Townsend (will also have zaha)
    B) Brunt -> Barragan
    C) Rashford/Benteke/Negredo instead of Ibra +4

    Triple City attack or triple Spurs attack?
    I currently have a triple City attack, keep or sell Aguero for Kane and jump on the triple Spurs attack bandwagon?

    repost due to bottomed:

    Hi, I saw that a lot of people (including FFS PODCAST) are talking about Spurs coverage because so many people already have 1-3 players and Kane is nearing a full return. On the podcast they were discussing how similar their PPG (points per game) are but it struck me that if we are talking about 'coverage' then really what we are interested in is their PPG in the games when these players (Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Son) are all featuring. Also because we're interested in mitigating the risk from not owning Kane, we are specifically interested in what happens when Kane DOES get points. So here are three sets of ppg that tell you exactly that:

    To what extent do other fielded attacking options mitigate Kane's pointscoring?

    PPG: Home and Away (N9)

    Kane: 11.1
    Alli: 8.1
    Eriksen: 8.1
    Son: 6

    PPG: Home Only (N5)

    Kane: 13.8
    Alli: 6
    Eriksen: 8.6
    Son: 5.2

    PPG: Away only (N4)

    Kane: 7.75
    Alli: 10.75
    Eriksen: 8.25
    Son: 7

    What we see (albeit based on a small sample: N9), is that over the course of the 9 games featuring all 4 players, when Kane notches attacking returns there is no attacking alternative mitigating over 74%. However, when differentiated for H/A we see stark differences. At home coverage is even less effective with Eriksen the most effective mitigator at just 62%. Away from home we see that all three options have been very effective but that Alli comes into his own and comfortably outscores Kane.

    Order of preference for GW33: Eriksen, Alli, Son

    I did it yesterday, what do you think:
    Walker -> Vertonghen to free funds for Carroll -> Zaha (-4)

    None of the doubles have been exciting this year, poor set of fixtures in every double... 😳

    GTG?

    Pickford (Jaku)
    Holgate Baines Pieters (Valencia, Yoshida)
    Firminho Sanchez Alli Erikson Sane
    Kane (c) Lukaku (Barnes)
    0 FT 1.2 ITB

    1. Pickford (WHU) vs Jaku (skt)??
    2. Too many spurs forwards
