The Big Numbers – Gameweek 4

It’s time for our post-Gameweek members article next as we assess the data from the previous round of fixtures.

Manchester United and Spurs midfielders feature in our analysis, as do Stoke’s weekend goal hero and Newcastle United’s new frontman.

A Burnley centre-half and West Ham wing-back also catch the eye, while we also check in with a pair of two-goal frontmen from Arsenal and Man City.

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

    What would you say about:

    This week Mane to Salah
    Next week Cedric Chica TC to Kolasinac Chupo Joselu -4

    ?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years

      Nice

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Could work will wqit on Salah news only a cold but you never know

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Chica to choupo is actually impossible

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'd be wary of Joeslu's minutes. Gayle always likely to be given 20 minutes or so

  2. BoooomXhakaLaka
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Morata and De bruyne or Jesus and Hazard.
    My front 2 is kane and Abraham and I don't know whether to go a top mid and top fwd or go morata Jesus Kane and have Brady and Choupo M.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      1 more safe.

    2. Pjanić At The Disco
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus + Hazard

  3. tattywelshie
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Foster (Elliot)
    Bertrand, Suttner, Kolasinac (Naughton, Long)
    Redmond, Mkhi, Ramsey, Ritchie (Carroll)
    Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

    1 FT, 2.3 ITB

    A) Save
    B) Suttner > Bavies
    C) Bertrand, Ramsey, Redmond > Bavies, Erikson, Choupo/Gross (-8pt)

    1. Effendi007
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      B

  4. FPL ZB

    6 years, 7 months ago

    I can see the potential for a Zappa/Alonso double up after GW7. Would be like two attacking midfielders who would gain 8 CS points if the CBs actually manage a shutout.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Good shout especially if Chelsea are as solid defensively as they were last year

    2. Gianfranco Zola
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Zappa? Moses is first choice until he's dropped

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Only if zappa becomes first choice

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Would like to think that that will happen sooner rather than later

      2. Hot Fuzz
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I can see that happening Zappa is a frikkn Beast 🙂

    4. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Cahill a better shout with the information we currently have available.

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Cahill fifth choice centre back behind Christensen and Rudiger I'd like to think

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Think away! Just get Mendy for now, and you'll probably end up keeping him until he's injured or suspended.

          1. FPL ZB
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Luckily I'm not thinking of changing my backline until the GW7-8 WC. Hopefully the roles of the league wingbacks will become a bit clearer

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              I saw you were thinking about it a page or two ago. Either that or your were looking for affirmation for what you already have.

              I think people are getting held up on the 'wingback' label. If I'm not wrong, Valencia did well from a full-back position this week (from this article), people like Maguire and Cahill can be better value than wingbacks at the same price (if they exist) too.

              Just be wary, that's all I'd say.

      2. Hot Fuzz
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Cahill?

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Chelsea centre back

          1. Hot Fuzz
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Ha 🙂 that not what i meant i thought you compared Cahill with Moses, Zappa or Alonso thats it, just a misunderstanding.

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              I did

  5. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Best way to free up 0.3?

    A) Bailly to Jones
    B) Mounie to Joselu

    Concerned that Jones won't start forever. Joselu's stats are good but haven't actually seen him play so not sure how promising he has looked.

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Probably b josulu seems to be heavily involved in Newcastle attack plus a decent differential

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      B
      Huddersfield look defensive

    3. Cooper123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks both.

    4. Lanzini girls just want to …
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't go near any of those players in B

      1. Cooper123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Well it's one player in B because I already have the other one.

        Obviously the alternative would be finding another 2 or 2.5 from somewhere to bring in Firmino but I'm not looking at doing that.

  6. Gianfranco Zola
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Skysports says Zaha could be in contention for the Sot match. Going straight into the team when he's fit.

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Their fixtures are appalling

  7. F4L
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How to sort this front 7 mess?

    Pogba Eriksen Mkhi Salah Mane

    Lukaku Firmino

    2 FT, 0.0 itb

    1. Gianfranco Zola
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Mane > Alli easy

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I was thinking Mane Pogba Lukaku ➡ Choupo-Moting Alli Kane for a -4. Worth it?

        1. Hot Fuzz
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          ten million options, but i believe your got it it just here, Alli Kane and someone like Moting sounds great for a -4 🙂
          Trust your guts dude you got it

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pogba Mane to Silva Alli.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        you confident in Silva's gametime?

    3. Gianfranco Zola
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pogba > Silva

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Downgrade Pogba and Mane, Get one premium forward, one decent mid and one fodder.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Mane Pogba Quaner ➡ Choupo-Moting Morata Carrol?

        1. Konstaapeli
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Something like that. Or the one below. Haz + Chomo sounds juicy too.

      2. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        1 premium forward in addition to Kaku & Firmster

    5. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pogba Mane to Choupo Hazard

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        bit early for Hazard? Not really confident in Chelsea's fixtures tbh

    6. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Tough one ... Pogba and mane out to Alli since you have no kane and Ramsey or Antonio to hit fixture's

    7. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      cheers all 🙂

  8. whatsgoingon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Which one is better?
    1) mane to salah
    2) mane to mooy/grob +chicharito to Jesus (-4hit)

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      1

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years

      1

  9. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Took a -8 after my WC 🙁 but I think longterm it was good decision

    Cedric Mee Lacazette
    to
    Davies Mbemba Kane

    Team is now:

    Foster
    Davies, Jones, Alexander-Arnold
    Eriksen, Salah, Mkhitaryan, Loftus-Cheek
    Kane (c), Lukaku (v), Firmino

    Elliot, Carroll, Naughton, Mbemba

    -8 worth getting Kane and Davies in?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Over coming weeks I may now do:
      Foster > Krul and just play Elliot

      Allows me to upgrade Mbemba to a 4.5 def .

      Thoughts on this?

      1. MTPockets
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I did this on my wc. Hope it works out.

      2. MTPockets
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Not a few hours before they play.

          1. OldBenKenobi
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Did it over the weekend to beat the price rise on Davies

      3. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        A)

        Elliot
        BDavies Jones Cedric D. Luiz
        Eriksen Silva Ramsey
        Firmino Kaku Kane

        Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah,

        *Luiz to Kola next week

        B)

        Elliot
        BDavies Jones Azpi Cedric Kola
        Eriksen Salah
        Firmino Morata Kane

        Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

        Suggestions A or B please?

      4. BigBelch
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        So had to WC

      5. Kushal
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Should i switch to ronaldo (c) or stay with neymar (c)

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          switch. I did when I had Lewa's 8 points

      6. BRONALDINHO
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Is doing Sanchez, Chaloba/Carrol & Chicharito to Salah (if fit), Gross & Jesus for -4 crazy?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Not really but Gross is unnecessary IMO

      7. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        It will cost me 4 points to do this, but I now have bench cover for rotation.
        Elliot, Foster
        Alonso jones bavies maguire (Mbemba)
        Mikhi Choupo Erik Antonio Fellaini
        Vardy Firmino Kane

          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Very good team and balanced. You may have a MF benching headache

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah I know but rotation will surely come into play and the likes of Firmino Kane Alonso Erik Fellaini Mikhi are all risks

      8. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Need to downgrade Yoshi in order to get Kane with my 2FT's.

        A. Yoshi ----> Naughton
        B. Yoshi ----> Mee
        C. Yoshi ----> Other?

        1. VFORVANDETA
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          A

        2. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Clarke

          1. Bubz
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Have Elliot as only keeper

        3. Pino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Both are good. Mee has great fixtures long term.

        4. Pjanić At The Disco
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Clarke if you don't have Elliot
          Naughton if you have Elliot

        5. Sjaugen
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Any rotation pairing lined up?

      9. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Got 2 FT this week so can shift out Pogba easily enough.

        Have Lukaku so may just leave it at that for Utd and get someone like Ritchie and use balance to upgrade lokilo.

      10. cravencottage

        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        need to get rid of Mane and Pogba- I have Eriksen and Firmino. Please rank:

        A) Salah
        B) Alli
        C) Mahrez
        C) Siggy

        Thanks!

        1. Pjanić At The Disco

          ABCD

        2. Pino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Based on price and form I would rank the same way you did. 🙂

      11. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Reckon this site is one Mendy assist away from another bandwagon

        1. willl
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          To be fair if he is nailed I think he is a very good option. Plays high up and crosses a lot, if no other city option is really standing out he could be good.

        2. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Kola bandwagon hasn't even properly started with 2 assists

        3. Harry (C)ane
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yup he has good crosses so bound to get plenty of assists.

      12. willl
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        A) Kane + Sigurdsson/Coutinho
        B) Lukaku + Alli

        Which gets more points long term, thinking A is the better option but can't decide between Coutinho and Sigurdsson with so little to go on.

        1. VFORVANDETA
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          A.Coutinho looking good if he start.

        Current forward line of -
        Eriksen Mkhi Salah Choupo
        Lukaku Morata Firmino

        Used the FT for this week. Is this fine ? Or is Kane essential to get in for a hit ?

        1. Sjaugen
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          It's fine. Gonna be two hits for Kane?

          1. smix
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Yes -8

        Any advise as to tinker vs saving a FT?
        DDG Elliot
        Trippier STEVENS Daniels Suttner 4.0
        Alli Salah Mkhi BRADY Carroll
        Kane Lukaku ABRAHAM

        The tinker options are
        Stevens to WHU defender or max 5.4
        Brady to Choupo-Moting
        Abraham to Joselu

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I would be tempted by Abraham to Joselu, but I'm with your defence I would save as could be a couple of transfers needed there. When do u plan to wc?

          1. Sjaugen
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah, I'll be in deep if I do Joselu, and both Stevens and Trippier are benched

        2. Anathallo
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Stephens to Jones?

      17. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Best defender upto 4.9 on WC?

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

        Any ideas how to sort this defence?

        Bavies, Mee, Francis, Hegazi, Yoshida

        Thinking of getting rid of at least one of Yoshida/Hegazi. Who is more likely to start next game?

          That is unpleasant. I think Yoshida is highly unlikely to start, Hegazi is 50-50 for me... Needs major work though...

                  Er...who do you mean then? Because Mat is our full-time dev on the case and responding to your comment.

                    Ah okay. I didn't know this Mat was THE Mat.

                    How can we report technical issues to FFS? I've had issues in the past but the responses I've had from mods (and you, sorry) haven't helped me answer this question (nor solve the problems). Thanks

                      These days we can normally investigate asap.

                      Server and HomeCrowd issues are being investigated at the mo.

                        Still having issues on Google Chrome on Android where when loading a page, it skips to the bottom. I reinstalled Chrome and it worked for a few days but it is happening again. Anyone else getting this issue?

              What's the general opinion on Mkytarian?

              Nailed? rotated?

              Can't really find a better option in the 8-8.5 bracket

                Pretty much nailed, might get the odd rest, but at that price point you can't complain for the probable points return IMO.

                Check out every Scoutcast since the beginning of the season 🙂

                I bought him last week, though I'm not expecting returns anything close to Eriksen, for example. I am considering Mahrez too now that the fixtures are turning.
