The Big Numbers – Gameweek 2

It’s time for our regular post-Gameweek members’ article as we assess some of the standout statistics from the previous ten matches.

A handful of mid-price wide men from Watford, West Ham and Southampton catch the eye, while Spurs and Liverpool’s left-backs chalk up some impressive figures.

Chelsea and Newcastle United’s new strikers also come under analysis as we assess their early impacts in the top flight.

    Which two/three players would you sell out of this lot

    Danilo
    TAA
    Milivojevic
    Ritchie
    Salah
    Jesus

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Danilo
      TAA

    2. thepeen555

      at least the first 4

      i think salah will be CL player and jesus - will never be aguero

    3. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Danny, TAA and Ritchie

    4. Viiksisika
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mili and TAA or Ritchie.

    5. Four Hit Wonder
      • 7 Years

      Keep Ritchie and Salah

    6. Bragazeti
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      TAA then Jesus if he blanks against Bournemouth

    7. Alexis Nonsense

      Danilo should play with walker out, and Danilo os a real attacking threat

    RLC or Chalobah? (To play occasionally). Tom Caroll is already my fodder (4 at the back).

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

      I would go RLC but I would run a comparison in the members area

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Very tough one, kept an eye on both. RLC has been unlucky in that his team is currently playing like dog turd and doesn't seem to have any consistent gameplan or defined way of playing. He has actually shone though and should have had at least 2 assists by now.

        Chalobah has been good too, plays in a very attacking Watford team and Marco Silva got Hull to start scoring and winning so i'd feel safer with Chalobah in my team

        Both are good options, right now i'd be favouring Chalobah

    3. Dr. Ante Pavlovic

      If he's not injured and if Aurier does not sign Im getting Trippier for Daniels for a hit and going with this squad for gw3:

      De gea

      Danilo Trippier Cedric

      Pogba Eriksen Willian Salah RLC

      Lukaku Kane (c)

      What do you think??

    4. The Mighty Whites

      With my FT-

      Get rid of Dummett and start Carroll

      or

      Get rid of JWP for Richarlison and play Mee / Daniels

        WCT team.....

        Forster, Elliot
        Alonso, Kolasinac, Davies, Yoshida, Hegazi
        Eriksen, Pogba, Jese, Richarlison, Carroll
        Kane, Firmino, Hernandez

        I have £0.7m in the bank, should I just save it for when I decide I don't like my team next week?

          Good Team.

          Don't you get benching headaches with that defence?

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

            Thanks, yeah a little but but I've worked out my rotation by fixture difficulty and it means I don't have to panic if one of my players gets injured.
            Saying that Alonso was on my bench in the build up to last week but luckily I saw sense just before the deadline.

            1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I left 18 points on my bench Hegazi included and it hurts,

              In that case good luck. Would like to see Ramsey in m/f but that's just me.

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

          I'd change Yoshida to either Cedric or 4.0m. Then you can bank the rest or upgrade someone. I really like Ramsey so I would pick him ahead of Jese or RIch.

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

            Ramsey is returning some excellent stats although Richarlison is one of the few players bettering him, thanks I will definitely consider swapping out Jese.

        4. thepeen555
          • 8 Years

          nothing really wrong with that, you cant have everyone

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

          Forster to foster,kolasinac to 4.0m,Jesé to Mane?

          You've basically got every player that's done well the first two gameweeks. So in another two weeks, you'll wish you had another Wildcard.

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

            Yes I have players who are on form, they also happen to have good fixtures when rotated with each other and are the players who are currently increasing in value.

        Foster (Elliott)
        Daniels, Stephens, Bertrand (Rangel, Hunemeir)
        Redmond, KDB, Atsu, salah, Willian

        1 FT
        2 ITB

        A. wildcard.

        2. JONALDINHO

        3. Viiksisika
          • 10 Years

          I would stick with that for one more week. Then maybe WIldcard during int. break.

          • 10 Years

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

        Looking at GW4 and ahead

        Salah & Mounie ➡ Chicha & Antonio (-4)

        After the IT Break seems a good option for West Ham's good run of fixtures.

        Appreciate your thoughts!

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

          I'd save the transfer.

        2. Four Hit Wonder
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Never underestimate West Ham's ability to play awfully in a fixture they're expected to win.

        3. @persecuted_by_mods
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Salah is staying in my team unless i see more evidence that it'll always be him being rotated. Hasn't set the world alight but gets off plenty of shots and always seems to be hanging around in the right places for a goal

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

              I'll be monitoring him this week. Has tough fixtures coming up with CL lurking too. Coutinho could stay at Pool and become a better option too.

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  I am not sure there is a worthwhile 5.5 to move to and I am not willing to take hit so if Lemina fit will play Carroll

                Yeah,leaning towards starting Ward Prowse and if he isn't playing switch to Carroll. Only problem is I'm gonna have to replace him soon and Richarlison has Brighton at home

            Most key point of the weekend for me - Mr G Jesus.

            Since Kun had 90 and Jesus was the sacrifice doe this mean Pep will play his boy, a revved up, fresh striker with a point to prove about to be unleashed on a leaky, gung-ho Bournemouth? Surely BOU can't sit like Brighton and Everton did, that is not their style.Both him and KDB at 10 plus will have eyes firmly fixed on them at high noon-ish Saturday...

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

              Jesus and Aguero will both serve up some high weeks but with players like Kane and Lukaku who dominate everything in their team's I don't think the City players can compete unless on is injured for a number of weeks.

              1. THAT'S LIFE
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                I agree - I feel I've fallen in the City trap. Have moved KDB on and unless Jesus looks like dynamite I will be restructuring with his money and getting Little Pea or looking at 3-5-2 with Calvert-Lewin, Quaner etc...

              According to me no need to panic

              downgrade KDB and upgrade Atsu.
              KDB->mikhtaryan/pogba/eriksen/alli

              Of course Alexis is coming back...(but he wont play as CF and will not bring so many points). It has to be seen. So 2-3 GW can wait Alexis.

            These are some moves I have in mind over the coming weeks.
            In- Out
            Chica- Firmino (Decent fixture this GW and it saves cash).
            KDB- Eriksen (1 last chance for KDB before inevitable offload).
            Willian- Mkhi/Pogba (Leaning towards Mkhi but will wait another GW).
            JWP- Richarlison/Jese (Not priority)
            Kolasinac- Lowe ( Not sure about this one yet).

                I've done likewise. I think I fell for his dazzling pre-season contributions. Much as he is a fantastic fantasy asset it cannot be argued that there are several cheaper options that look just as, if not more of a threat. Pep can put him back to quarterback at any minute...

              Give him one more game before the break.

              He could easily get double figures this week.

            What do we think of the new Stoke player Jesé? Need a 6m max midfielder and not sure whether to go for him. Richarlison another shout. But except for Man U (H), Chelsea (H) and Man City (A) the next 11 gameweeks look good for Stoke.

              I would go with Richarlison personally, the guy looks some player

              Richarlison stats are better, not much to go off for either though

            Hey everyone! Is it silly to trade KDB & Salah for Pogba and Eriksen (-4 hit)? This is my current team, and any other suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!

              For a -4 makes no sense, either do one of them this week or neither

              I wouldnt ditch Salah. But nice moves, could work nicely

            Wild guess for big numbers, not a member this year:

            Richarlison
            Antonio
            Redmond
            Bavies
            Robertson
            Morrata
            Joselu.

            These players are supposed to be good buys according to scouts.

            Well I agree about all of them, besides Robertson and Redmond. The first one is a rotation risk and the second one plays for non attacking team..

            Thoughts about all these players?

            1. Slartibartfast
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Only one I'm seriously considering atm is Richarlison.

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Why really? All are good lads with potential

                1. Slartibartfast
                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  Because I have Fraser and 0.5 ITB, so he's looking like a good potential transfer in.

                  1. FPL Daniel
                    • 15 Years
                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    My question was why all the others aren't great, not why Richarlison is good. I agree that he has potential atm

              The non-attacking team that has put up the second most goal attempts in the league?

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                So what? OOB attempts have historically 8% chance of going in and they are bad at converting since always.

                1. I Member
                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  They're 4th for attempts inside the box behind only Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd.

                  1. FPL Daniel
                    • 15 Years
                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    And regarding conversion?

              Antonio plays for a non attacking team? Where did you get that info?

                • 15 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Redmond, not Antonio. Pay attention.

            DDG to Pickford or Butland to save 0.5 if on WC?

              Any other United defs then?

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                no - dont really offer many attacking returns.

                was thinking them keepers as poss save points and cleanies too (occasionaly)

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

                  Yep true. I think Everton is going to have many cleanies.

            2. FPL Daniel
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Buttland for 4.5 yes, not sure for 5m

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                yeah had thought foster but then i have hegazi - dont like doubling up

                  • 15 Years

                  Hud keeper maybe?

                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    Yeah it's poss - don't expect many cleanies though, altought they done alright so far lol

            3. Bragazeti
              • 7 Years

              Butland out of the two

              1. thepeen555
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah it might have to be butland - Stoke usually alright defensively, not too much to worry about

            Headaches with:

            Foster (Myhill)
            TAA Yoshida Daniels (Mee) (Rosenoir)
            Willian KDB Eriksen JWP (Carroll)
            Firmino Lukaku Jesus
            ITB: 1.5mil

            Thinking of either TAA or Daniels -> Trippier/Jones but worried about rotations
            Also want Pogba but should I take a -4 hit? Who to replace?

          • Atimis
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            WC team:

            Foster/Elliot
            Bertrand/Bavis/Jones/Lowe/Mbemba
            Mane/Eriksen/Pogba/RLC/TC
            Kane/Kaku/Chica

            1)Is Alonso a must?
            2)Miki over Pogba?
            3)Cedric over Bertrand for 0.5ITB?
            4)Trippier over Bavis?
            5)Other recomendations?

              1. No
              2. Both good options, I've gone with Pogba
              3. Yes
              4. Wait on injury news for Trippier, and keep an eye on them signing a RB, Davies probably safer bet
              5. Looks good, very nice team indeed
