The Big Numbers – Gameweek 36

We cast an eye over the Gameweek 36 Opta data this morning in our first members article of the week.

With Double Gameweek 37 looming, Manchester City, Chelsea and Spurs playmakers are assessed, while we also turn to Manchester United and Leicester City in our search for potential differentials.

    Alonso!

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years

      (C) anyone?

        7 years, 1 month ago

        Heard worse suggestions

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of bringing him and hoying the armband on him. But will he be rested?

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Could well be, all speculation at this point

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who would come in for him? Ake more of a CB than a LWB

        1. Sess!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Pedro could be deployed there. Has been previously.

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            True but I think Conte has bigger priorities for rotation in David Luiz and Kante who have been carrying injuries recently.

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              He'll just change them all for a rest if the league is won though

        2. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Pedro as Mark said on Scoutcast too

  2. dhamphiir

    Rudy Gestede in the Premier League:

    Joins Cardiff - gets relegated
    Joins Blackburn Rovers - gets relegated
    Joins Villa - gets relegated
    Joins Middlesbrough - gets relegated

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I don't suppose Liverpool are in for him by any chance?

    2. Chenku╰☆╮

      Gestede this..

    3. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Well he is terrible. Bizarre that Boro signed him.

    4. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He is just a big lump with very little talent.

    5. Brehmeren
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure the Blackburn part is true though..

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Best one? 🙂

    1. Coutinho+Walker+Stones> KDB+Yoshida+Fuchs (-8)
    2. Walker+Stones+Zaha > Alonso+Kompany+Albrighton (-8)
    3. Walker+Stones+Jakupovic > Cahill+Yoshida+Caballero (-8)
    4. Chambers+Stones+Zaha > Yoshida+Alonso+Albrighton (-8)

    DDG • Jakupovic*
    Koscielny • Stephens • Stones* • Chambers* • Walker*
    Sanchez • Alli • Sane • Zaha* • Coutinho*
    Kane • Jesus • Gabbi

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Actually 4 is no longer possible with Zaha price drop...

      I can do this though?

      4. Coutinho+Walker+Stones> Fabregas+Alonso+Kompany (-8)

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years

        This one looks better

    With Young out, does Valencia has more chance of starting both games?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Darmian can play RB.

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

        Then who will play LB? 😮

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Blind.

          Or Tuanzebe can slip in at RB.

  5. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Tonight is the night.
    Sanchez haul & Arsenal clean sheet.
    That would do nicely.

    1. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The dream

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      *Gabbi haul.

      Sanchez blank.

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Gabbi isn't scoring. Neither is sanchez.

    3. Make Arrows Green Again
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Any news on Kos? I hope he misses out 😐

    4. BbBb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      0 - 0 with Gabriel no involvement is the dream!

    5. Brap.
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      2-2

      Sanchez (2)
      Gabbi, Yoshida

      With a Monreal assist

      1. Nigawan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        this will be the best thing everrrrr.. im leading in h2h game atm. but he capt walcott and have ozil and gabriel. i have sanchez, kos and gabbi..

  6. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard ->

    A) KDB

    B) Sane

    C) Save FT

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Save, you have twice the risk of injury this GW

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A.

  7. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more points in the last 2 gameweeks of the season?
    (Need enablers for Jesus)

    A) Caballero & Ake (Might only get 1 game)

    B) Jaku & Stephens

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B is safer, it's what I'd do.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Caballero can cover Ake I think, so option A

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure about that. I think Leicester have a goal in them against City.

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

          Yeah, but a chance of cleanie in 2nd game plus a possible cleanie against Watford in final week whereas Jakupovic probably wont keep a CS in next 2 weeks.

          1. Karan14
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yea I agree.
            But B also allows me to have money to get Terry in GW38 which I think could be a good differential.

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

  8. Who Am I?
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Valencia to Clichy for a hit?

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

      Nah, will probably start only one game

      1. Who Am I?
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        but Valencia none!! any other option at 5.2?

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

          Maybe Ben Davies, Huth, Yoshida... If you are willing to take risk, then Clichy is fine.

          I have him but not really expecting 2 games out of him

          1. Who Am I?
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Im thinking Yoshida but already got Stephens!! i ll take the risk probably!
            Thanks for the help!

    Still deciding on my DGW defender to go for Barragan.

    Trippier worth a shout?

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why would trippier be worth a shout? Prob play one. Won't play two.

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ok, just struggling who to pick for 5.6.

        Don't fancy Leicester and already have Yoshi.

        1. Sess!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          I'd go fuchs. Shame you're just short of vert.

  10. sergioaguero67

    Sanchez to KDB?
    Worth a big risk?

    Please help.

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If he blanks again tonight then I'd say go for it. Sanchez been awful for weeks.

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

        This

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No risk in that move

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        There obviously is

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

          If you think so, there is...

    3. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sunderland H would be my worry if no Sanchez. But agree, if he blanks again, then worth the risk to get KDB in

    4. Expected Toulouse
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Based on Sanchez's form and KDB's inconsistency feel its worth the risk if he blanks tomorrow. Could use that extra mil somewhere else to.

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

    Best replacement for Afobe up to 6.5m?
    A - Llorente
    B - Niang
    C - Rondon
    D - Other

    Tempted to go with Llorente despite having just 1 game. Others fixtures look poor in this price bracket

    Cheers

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      U got Gabbi? If so Llorente.

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

        Not got Gabbi, just don't really fancy him with Long and Austin lurking

  12. WVA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ddg Pickford
    Kompany Monreal Vertongen Stephens Britos*
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sane Zaha*
    Kane Gabbi Rashford*

    Britos Zaha Rashford > Holgate Ndidi Jesus for a -8?

    1. V
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      instead of using Holgate, u should take Holding 'cause DG

  13. Urchin
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What do you guys think, will ATM make a comeback? I personally dont see a team like them scoring 4 goals in a match. A dead rubber pretty much this one?

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

      Yeah, a win is possible but scoring that many goals looks unlikely

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No chance they will get near turning it around. 1 goal from Real and Atletico need to score 5. Game over.

    3. Urchin
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Should be a FUN final...

    Heaton ---> Cech for -4 ?

    1. Holmes

    Jaku, Clayton, Britos > Caballero, Albrighton, Stephens
    -8

      Yes.

    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What do I do about Stones? 4.8m to replace him, thought about Kone

    Rest of Defense:

    Monreal, Yoshida, Stevens, Holgate

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

      I'm looking at Kone actually lol, feel like he'll be in the shop window so he has more to play for than the rogue's gallery in place down there. Just posting below about enablers...

    2. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cedric? Double then a nice home fixture

      1. Reckoner.
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Maxed out on Southampton, Yoshida, Stevens & Gabbiadini

    Hey fellas, what sites do you use for your analysis of matches? I use this site, the price rise site, occasionally look at the geek site (which hasn't felt that useful this season) and the triggerlips site. There are a lot of other fantasy sites out there as well but most of them are just Captain Obvious stuff with some snark thrown in. I'm looking for something with a bit more depth on projected matchups. Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks!

      I use this (member's area a lot - comparison tool for analysing targets and also RMT to plan my transfers), fpl stats and also have FFFix on my phone for the live gameweek updates... love seeing the "G" notification when one of your guys scores 😀

  19. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A .Double up on city defence (kompany and Caballerro) no KDB in this case

    B. Spurs defence (Alderwield) and may get KDB for Hazard in this case

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

      Oh my. I had a similar choice and I've opted to keep Hennessey and (probably!) go for De Bruyne. In my case he's in for Alli - not sure I want to be removing Haz tbh

  20. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Willy
    Alonso // Bertrand // Monreal
    Hazard // Sane // Sanchez // Kane
    Jesus // Kane // Costa

    Jaku // Zaha // Mawson // Holgate. Nothing worth a hit is there? .7m itb

    I'm backing myself to beat a fair few BB'ers (if I get the Capt pick right) 😎

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

      Hey WR 🙂 yeah, very strong.

      The captain pick is the biggie, with the standout probably being Jesus. However, my ML all own Jesus and the maj will captain him, so I'm probably looking at squeezing KdB in and armbanding him. Oh boy.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm hoping for some encouragement from Sanchez tonight

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

          me too. need something from him if I'm going to stand a chance of getting anywhere in my ML I think.

    2. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years

      Kane midfielder? 😉

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Oops, King 🙂

        1. Klopp's Kids
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Team is GTG!

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Too much Kane.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Can't have too much Kane, he's that good 😉

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Looks great, like you say could easily outscore some bench boost teams.

  21. ROOTY7
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bailly to play in DGW?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1 match, definitely not both imo.

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

      Maybe the second game. But I'm shipping personally.

  22. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Why would Conte even entertain the Inter job, I thought Juventus hated them?

    1. Brap.
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      ??

      What's that got to do with Conte?

  23. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Assuming Koscielny is good for next week, is this a good move for a -4?

    Kane>Jesus (C)
    Bailly>Koscielny
    Gabriel>Alonso

    Sadly keeping Gabbiadini but can't have it all! Not inspired by Anichebe, Deeney, Defoe, etc.

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

      Yep, very sound imo. I have Anichebe personally, but I'd rather have Jesus in for Kane than big Victor in for Gabbi so I see your point 😀

  24. mentordct
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Vertonghen or Monreal or Bertrand?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Monreal

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Bertrand

  25. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Boost.

    Čech // Caballero

    Alonso // Monreal // Davies // Yoshida // Stephens

    De Bruyne // Fabregas // Alli // Ox // King

    Vardy // Costa // Jesus(c)

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy(c)

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I prefer the defences Jesus is up agsinst.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          May be right ... but vardy's and Leicester Form are tempting
          Also not sure about jesus minutes

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

      Yep, strong. Good mix of punts and nailed. Jesus standout capt imo. I have to look elsewhere as ML rivals own. Mr dB probably will get it. More fool me.

    If you had to drop one of Hazard and Costa who would it be?

    Hazard --> KdB

    or Costa --> ???

      Hazard > KDB easily.

      Limited options for a DGW striker so ditching Costa would be nonsensical.

      Hazard to De Bruyne

    Ok de bruyne is this week's "essential" and everyone's bringing him in but does anyone think he might be played deeper at any stage by pep. I think sane is a much better choice, even sterling but his minutes are in doubt.

      Yeah, he could if Aguero's back. Mighty differential Mr De Bruyne though.

      He's consistently inconsistent. Just have to hope we see another explosion during the DGW.

      This weekend just gone, it looked like, with Kun out, Kev does more likely to be playing in the advanced role, with Silva dropping back to his usual assisting the assister. Big risk, but the most nailed.

      Sane is an OK choice too, no doubt. But the minutes for both him and Sterling are in doubt.

      Probably one of those that's difficult to answer now, but captain hindsight will be online very soon after the dust settles 😀

        Thanks for the summary - just came online for the first time in ages and this KdB bandwagon has really taken me by surprise!

          Yeah. It's a big one. I'm actively considering it because my ML rivals own Jesus (who for me is the standout capt) so I need a differential to come off.

          Think quite a few here are looking for a differential to help win their MLs like me, which is why KdB has really taken off!

          Ah, I bet people are wary of Hazard getting a rest too

            Yeah that's it basically. Lots of questions about the Chelsea team going around

      If Aguero isn't back and Jesus is subbed off he has as much chance of ending up as a False 9.

        I had the armband on him in GW20 when he was the false 9 v. Burnley at home. Got me a blank.

        And I'm still considering him.

        FML!

    Any tips on the best method to watch matches such as Southampton Arsenal tonight when they aren't televised on BT or Sky ? Without going to the game of course !
