The Big Numbers – Gameweek 37

We delve into our Opta data now in our first members’ article of the week.

Scanning the first six days’ action over Double Gameweek 37, we check up on the contrasting numbers for Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil in Arsenal’s new 3-4-2-1 formation.

Manchster City pair Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus are also assessed, as are Philippe Coutinho and Fernando Llorente with their transfers-in escalating ahead of Sunday’s deadline.

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

    GW 38 - 1FT - 0 ITB

    Hennessy
    Vertonghen - Yoshida - Stephens
    Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - Pedro
    Kane - Costa - Jesus

    Pickford - JWP - Blind - Holgate

    Thinking of Hazard or Eriksen out for Coutinho?

    1. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard to Coutinho is the most popular move for the last GW

    2. TheTinman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Very similar team. One of the Chelsea boys have to go

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Seems we share the same problem except I have no City at all.

    4. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard to KDB is another option although at least Coutinho is nailed on.

    5. GoonerByron
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Do you not think Hazard will start the last home game of the season with a week until the cup final?

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe, but Cout will definitely start.

      2. JAC THE CAT
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He might, if he was a definite starter I would keep him.

    6. Enzo the Baker
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good, Haz to Cout and maybe if you're feeling adventurous take a -4 for Stephens to Matip instead of doubling up on Soton defense.

      Btw how did the early wildcard work out after all? I remember replying to your posts around GW33 when you wildcarded. I went right after (in GW34), and rose from 72k to 18k currently.

  2. Rash
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Points predictions please

    Vardy
    Eriksen
    Alli
    Kane

    1. BbBb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy= 2
      Erkisen= 1
      Alli= 17
      Kane= 22

      1. Rash
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        No need to guess which you own lol

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hoping for a goal fest both ways.
      Vardy and Kane braces with a couple of assists for Eriksen 😉

      1. Rash
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        As long as vardy and eriksen return something similar to Kane and alli I'm happy

    3. Pea Soup
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Albrighton = 14

    4. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      1
      3
      13
      13

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

    Hazard to Coutinho confirmed - will wait until the last minute for any injury news though as value is obviously not an issue as that'll be my only transfer

    1. TheTinman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Same

    2. Johqvist
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah me too. Who's your captain?

  4. Snevitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard, Gabbi & Rashford → Coutinho, Vardy and benchfodder for the final week (-8).
    Do you think this is +ev?

    1. BbBb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      be wary of hits before next week

      1. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        As long as they are +ev they're fine.
        The 34 so far haven't done me too much damage.

        1. Pea Soup
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          What does +ev mean?

          1. Snevitz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            + expected value, it's a poker term.
            When making a decision there is some luck involved in the actual result so it means something like 'if I made this decision and the result played out 100 times would I be up or down?'
            If I'd be up then it's +ev, the actual result doesn't matter as long as the decision is the correct one at the time.

            1. Haugli
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              As a poker player i can't believe i haven't used this rule in FPL before. Clever! Thanks.

  5. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What Midfield do you wish you could roll out this GW.

    I have Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, King and Pedro.

    Wish I had some City and Pool but not sure who to lose. Any ideas?

    1. BbBb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard to Cout

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Hazard has Sunderland at home. Is that a wise move?

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Perfect mid for this week would be
      Sanchez, KDB, Eriksen, Mahrez, Coutinho.

      If you don't think Hazard will start then he needs to go.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I'd put a Chelsea asset (prob Fabregas) ahead of Mahrez.
        Hazard too if he was 100% sure to start.

        1. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I'd put Chelsea assets ahead as well - if they were nailed on, which they are not.

    3. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Some of the Chelsea first team players will probably be rested... Hazard or Pedro to Coutinho seems to be the right move.

      1. Nobodinho
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        This

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        No cash available so Pedro to Cout isn't an option. Though I could do Hazard and Pedro ➡ Fàbs and Coutinho with 2 FT's?

  6. Zlatans little helper
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Cheeky Sane (C) punt, then?

    1. BbBb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      looks like a good shout, but still think Liverpool assets have more chance of scoring big

    2. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Looks like a classic move

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sure. Seems legit

    4. Pea Soup
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Llorente(c)

  7. Home Late From Age
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Would you consider Costa -> Kane for a hit? From Spurs I have Eriksen and Davies.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No.

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'd rather have Vardy and Jesus this week.

      1. Home Late From Age
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I have Jesus. I'll watch the game tonight and then decide between Kane and Vardy. But both of them seems as good choices.

  8. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Swansea in for JT (Sky)

    He could turn Mawson into FPL gold! Another head for Siggy to land the ball on too!

  9. Frank Koscielny
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    1. Hazard > Coutinho
    2. Hazard > DeBruyne
    3. Keep Hazard

    Cheers!

    1. lilmessipran
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      1 probably

    2. Pea Soup
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      3

    3. Ready Manager One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      1 for sure

  10. lilmessipran

    7 years, 5 months ago

    Repost - Hoping to get more opinions

    Front 7 of
    Sanchez Kdb siggy king Eriksen
    Vardy Jesus Gaby

    1 FT 0.0 itb
    Best option here-

    A Eriksen to Cout FT bench Gaby
    B Gaby to Vokes FT bench King
    C Any other

    1. Sconeaus - The Dude Abides
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Never bench king, Gabbi is toxic bench him n bring coutinho in for eriksen 100%

      1. Rash
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Think I have no option but to bench king with front 8 of Sanchez fabregas de bruyne eriksen king Costa vardy Jesus

    2. Nobodinho
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      C, bench Gabbi & get a better defender?

      1. Ready Manager One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        This

  11. TheTinman
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Pickford
    Yoshida / Clichy / Davies
    Hazza / Alexis / Eriksen / Sane / Albrighton
    Kane / Jesus

    DDG/ Gabbiadini / Holding / Stephens

    Has to Cout?

  12. Nobodinho
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    A) Sane + King
    B) Sane + Vardy (-4)
    C) King + Vardy (-4)

    1. royals forever

      B

    2. Snevitz

      7 years, 5 months ago

      C

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

      A easily

    4. Nobodinho
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Three different opinions 😯

      1. TheTinman
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Trust me

      2. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        My reasoning...
        Bournemouth concede a lot of away goals so I think Vardy is a good captaincy option this week (although you'd be brave not to go for Sanchez), regardless I want him in my team.
        City have a good fixture and are scoring a lot of goals but Sane isn't involved in that many and is not completely nailed on.
        King has incredibly high goal involvement for Bournemouth, if they score he's likely to be getting some points so I prefer him to Sane.

        1. Nobodinho
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yep your reasons make sense. Wish I still have my AOA chip 🙁

    5. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      B

    6. Ready Manager One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A - close call tho. Who r other mids? If u have erik/alli and kane then perhaps lose erik/alli to get vardy, dont think u need 2 spurs assets.

      1. Nobodinho
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Other mids are Sanchez, Hazard and Eriksen.

        1. Ready Manager One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I prefer taking out Haz

  13. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If you were BBing this week who would you sell out of

    Valdes
    Herrera

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Valdes, ideally both

    2. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Both.

  14. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard and alli to coutinho and cesc for free?

    1. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping Haz personally. Do think he will start.

      However, Alli to Cout I'd definitely do. I'm doing Eriksen to Cout after tonight (just making sure Kane gets through the game)

      1. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Hmm those big numbers aren't ideal though...

    2. Nobodinho
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yay

    3. Ready Manager One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes to both, altho siggy might be better than cesc in terms of nailed oness.

  15. Individual
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Sane on pic - perfect timing

    Question: I own Kompany, Jesus and Sane. Am tempted to go get Siggy in for Sane. Worth a go?

    Thinking that Sterling might come in for the last game with Sane rotated out if Pep is doing Kun-Jesus up top! Would be for a -4: also doing Cout in for Eriksen (mid will be (C)outinho Sanchez Haz King Sane/Siggy)

    Thanks 😀

    1. Nobodinho
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Might works, I would do it.

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers mate, sorry got busy with work!

  16. Sjaugen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mad rush for Benteke for people catching up?

    1. Pea Soup
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mad rush?

  17. reeceon
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Matip or Lorrente

    1. Nobodinho
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Llorente

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Matip. Don't see the appeal in Swans assets. They are safe.

      1. Pea Soup
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Last home game against a team who have been on the beach for weeks. A celebration of their safety... I think it has comfortable Swansea win written all over it.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I just don't see it as comfortable at all. Probably just me 😉

    3. Pea Soup
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Llorente

    4. Delhidynamo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Matip or your rent eh?

  18. Buck The Trent
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Which one do you prefer?

    A King + 4
    B Sane

    1. reeceon
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Nobodinho
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A

    3. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'd still prefer King without the +4.

    4. Buck The Trent
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      thanks all

  19. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    110 points and still a red arrow. Come on Eriksen and Alli!!

  20. Offside Trapattoni
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Surprised no one is talking about Lallana as a potential difference maker, crushed it vs MID last time out, 19 I believe? Could've had even more.

    At his price has to be considered.

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I have been...a lot

      1. Offside Trapattoni
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        My problem is who to drop in a 5 man, Alexis Coutinho Alli Eriksen King....

  21. Squires FC
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ditch gabbi or rashford for giroud or benteke?

    1. Pea Soup
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Both!

    2. Nobodinho
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Both if possible?

      1. Squires FC
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Can't afford both

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Seriously considering Tekkers for the first time this season. Reckon it will be fish in a barrel kind of game.

    3. Offside Trapattoni
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      100% ditch Zaza I mean Gabbi. You know Benteke will play, Giroud the minutes aren't certain. Could see Tekkers get one.

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe giroud

      Not sure why people are considering benteke

      That game is going to be boring as hell

  22. arndff_
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Done Haz > Cout. Which one do you prefer for a hit?

    Carroll to:
    A/ Albrighton (no other Leicester players)
    B/ Fabregas

    OR

    Anichebe to:
    1/ Llorente
    2/ Origi
    3/ Vokes
    4/ Benteke

    1. ILOVEBAPS

  23. St. Joseph
    • 9 Years

    If u have uncertain player like costa in gw 38
    Would u rather keep or ditch for another player assured to play?(vardy/sturridge/batshuayi)

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If you decide to get rid of him, Vardy sounds like a nice replacement.

  24. FPL ElasticO
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Already on 170 points for GW 37..... hoping to reach 200 with Kane/Alli/Eriksen to play...

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I hope Vardy has a party.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years

        co-party with kane 😀

  25. HST
    • 15 Years

    Lukaku & Gabbi to Jesus & Llorente -4 look good gents?

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Kaku may score at least one. You can do just Gabbi to Llorente. 🙂

  26. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hi guys, please help as I will face h2h ML final against my friend that have KDB and take -4 hits.

    AoA:
    Cech,
    Alonso, Stephens
    Sanchez (c), Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, T. Carroll
    Kane, Vardy, de Jesus

    (Jaku, Holgate, Gabriel, Wasilewski)

    My thought is :

    A. Hazard -> Cou and T Carroll -> King (-4 too)

    B. Hazard -> KDB to balance with my opponent?

    C. Only Hazard -> Cou and have 4 pts advantage?

    Would appreciate your thoughts, thx you guys.
