The Big Numbers – Gameweek 5

Our regular post-Gameweek delve into the members’ data is next on our Tuesday schedule.

We look at why Sergio Aguero has profited from a change of tactics and try to ascertain just why Harry Kane’s output remains a major issue at Wembley Stadium.

Man City, Brighton and Liverpool’s playmakers also find a place in this week’s article, while the West Ham and Swansea defences also catch the eye.

    Would you play Carroll (WAT) or Maguire (LIV)? And i've got 1.6 ITB but no FT, thinking of Speroni > Pickford next week if Everton progress. Or anyone else needing an upgrade?
    Elliot / Speroni
    Kolasinac / Jones / Fernandez - (Maguire/Cedric)
    Eriksen / Salah / Mkhi / Carroll (RLC)
    Kane(C) / Jesus / Wood

    "Given the depth of United's squad, it is likely that Jose Mourinho will field a strong side to face Burton, despite already confirming that David De Gea, Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly and Nemanja Matic will all be rested."

    Jones/Mkhi/Lukaku owners nervous?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Smalling & Lindelof will be the CBs.

      Mkhi & Kaku will not start might come on later.

      Martial, Lingard, Herera, Fellaini, Rashford, Darmian, Blind will all start.

  5. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Planning to get Kolasinac after Arsenals game tomorrow thus using my FT

    Will this be g2g hoping all are injury free on weekend?

    Elliot
    Mee Davies Kolasinac
    Groß Ritchie Eriksen Alli
    Firmino Jesus(c) Lukaku(v)

    Forster T.Carroll Dawson Hunemeier

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

      Yeah G2G

  6. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any Leciester fans on here? Just wondering how Mahrez has looked this season. I know his stats aren't great this season but has he looked dangerous?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Leicester*

  7. Gooner Kebab
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Play one:

    a) Yoshida (MUN)
    b) Dawson (ars)

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

      Dawson

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Close but probably Dawson.

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Going to emirates to watch the game - a CS for Dawson would be a bum.

    4. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yoshida

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

    Play 2

    A) naughton WAT h
    B) atsu BHA a
    C) brady HUDD h

    1. Pegboy

  9. okidoki358
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any thoughts?

    Foster (Elliot)
    Otamendi - Mustafi - Jones - Davis (Mbemba)
    Mkhitaryan - Salah - Eriksen - Ritchie (Carroll)
    Lukaku - Aguero

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I can't be bothered going to Wembley tonight.

      Your team is fine though.

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Kane is going to punish you this weekend.

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

          only people he's punished so far are his owners with his 4/5 blanks

          1. Pegboy
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Fair enough. Still think he'll score 4+ over next 3 game weeks.

            Can understand the scepticism though.

        2. okidoki358
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I got him on my squad at this moment but planning to use WC. I will probably wait until tomorrow...

  10. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    To Kun, or not to Kun...

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      to kun

  11. Gazpilicueta
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    time to bring in Sergio?

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Jones, Alonso, Davies, Mee, Long
    Eriksen, Ritchie, Mikhtaryan, Carroll, RLC
    Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

    0.2 in the bank and 1 free

    A) Save the free, Aguero can come in international break wildcard
    B) Kane to Aguero, get it done
    C) something else.....

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      A, you've already missed 2 point rises.

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

        is that reason to miss more?

        1. Gooner Kebab
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          no, but an earlier transfer would've saved you some cash.

    2. Pegboy
      • 13 Years

      A

  12. MartialMatas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anything worth using my other ft on?

    Begovic Elliot
    Bavies Jones Naughton Mee Long
    Eriksen Salah Mkhi Ramsey Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    1ft 0.3m itb

    1. Pegboy

      Save

  13. Pierce34
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any Newcastle fans around? What's the goalkeeper situation there? Is Woodman the primary back-up to Elliot, or will it be Darlow once fit? I remember reading he was out of favour with Benitez but that was from a while ago.

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

      I'm sure I remember reading that Woodman almost went on loan in the summer

  14. Gt1996
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    A) Eriksen + Kante > Mkhi + Ritchie (0.4m itb)
    B) Alli + Kante > Mkhi + Ritchie (0.2m itb)
    C) Jones + Jesus > Mbemba + Aguero (0m itb)

    Which option is looking best right now?

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

      B

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not the ones with Kante. Never the ones with Kante. (unless you want to play Mbemba, in which case he's not nailed it seems)

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Oops, sorry, misread it 😀

        In which case you should very much sell Kante - B.

    3. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      B

  15. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Had a Kane haircut last week, and even though the girls think I'm sexy, If he blanks again I'm getting a David Silva, period.

  16. R Whites
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Morata Kane Moting >>> Sergio Lukaku Atsu

    Hold or Take the -8 and save the headache?

    Foster - Elliot
    Davies - Jones - Naughton - Simpson - Mbemba
    Mhki - Eriksen - Salah - Moting - Carroll
    Kane - Vardy - Morata

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Taking out Kane and Morata for a -8 might be the new definition of madness.

  17. nobwak
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    If I make 2 FTs, and THEN use my free-hit, do the transfers I made still register when my team resets for the following gameweek?

    1. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes methinks

  18. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    What's everyone doing with Jones?

    GW8-11 looks a horrible period.

    Wait for him to be rotated/injured and sell or ship out before the hard games?

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wait.

  19. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I am only waiting for cup game to end and will do Kane to Kun.

    Don't care, if my rank is bad, I would rather love to be bad because of my City players than because of that Kane.

    Aguero, Jesus, Mendy - rock on, baby!

    1. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      this

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Until Kane scores a brace and Aguero blanks.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I've had enough of Kane blanks while Aguero kept scoring.

        If I could stick with Kane ignoring my Aguero, I will ignore Kane now. And yes, still won't own Lukaku.

    3. R Whites
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      So true

  20. JoshHuntCUFC
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Elliot 4.0
    Azpi 6.5, Davies 5.6, Daniels 4.9
    Mkhi 8.3, Ritchie 5.9, C-Moting 5.6, GroB 5.6
    Kane 12.5, Lukaku 11.6, Kun 11.5

    I'm aware this is very top heavy.

    Any direct swaps you would make with 0.3M in the bank? 2FT

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

      PS I kind of like those 3 Strikers...

    2. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Strike force is fine.

      Azpi>Kola with your FT

    3. LC1
      • 9 Years

      Azpi > Kola

    Elliot (Foster)
    Alonso - *Mee - Jones - Bavies (Hunemeier)
    Miky - Salah - Ritchie (*Doucoure, Tarrol)
    Kaku - Kun - Vardy

    Play Mee or Doucuore?

      Yourself

  22. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino + Miki + Eriksen or Ritchie + Jesus + Salah (+0.4itb)

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

    This Rio Ferdinand starting boxing and hoping to fight for a title thing is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard for a while

    1. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      what are the others?

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

        Roy Hodgson

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Meh - his life - he can do what he wants.

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 8 Years

        Deep

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

        But to think he could compete professionally in boxing, starting at 38 years old, is incredibly delusional

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

          Too old! Yeah

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

      He's a bit too old to start boxing AND think about fighting for a title?
      Looks like a midlife crisis to me!

  24. SpagBol
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    GK: Foster (Elliot)
    DEF: Alonso / Davies / Jones / TAA (Gamez)
    MID: Salah / Mkhitaryan / Ritchie (Carroll / Chalobah)
    FWD: Kane / Aguero / Vardy

    Cheers lads!! 🙂

  25. Conbhair
    • 7 Years

    Joselu or Tammy?

    Worth doing JRod > One of above for -4?

  26. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Danny Simpson or Kyle Naughton in for Scott Dann this week?

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Naughton then Simpson next week (that's my plan).

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years

      Danny

  27. internal error

    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal have won the lowest percentage of headers in their own penalty area of any team in the Premier League this season - 52%.
    West Brom up next...
    .

  28. Zinedine Kilbane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    on my wildcard- any potential double risers I should get in today?

    1. Hardly Athletic
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero

  29. No Totti No Party
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    HI,
    A: Chicharito OUT Wood IN
    B: Play Chicha save Transfer
    C: You are F***ed with Chicha

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      C, but probably B and do more major restructuring next week.

  30. Lone Wolf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Best up to 5.3 mid (not Atsu).

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      You're better off playing a defender in that price range probably.

    2. No Totti No Party
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Doucoure, or even Kante.

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

      Can probably.
