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.

    Cedric to Jones for 2 gwks sensible?

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

      Yes

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

      I've just flogged him too - but did his job, 3 cs in 5 is solid enough, might get him back.

    3. Jitterbug
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      if you've got nothing else to change then yes

    4. Freddo

      Really? Why would you get off?

      United's fixtures firm up now compared to Southampton, 3 clean sheets out of 5 means that he's doing what's required.

      Jones will be facing Salah, Mane, Eriksen, Alli, Kane, Morata and Hazard in the coming weeks, while United won't get hammered, you have to fancy the other teams will threaten them.

      Wouldn't sell but wouldn't buy Jones.

        This

  2. Total Foot 5 - romario 11

    play which?

    1 richarlison swa
    2 mbemba bha ( will start and cs potential)

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

      Tough one

      richarlison just

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

      it's a toughie, but from the evidence so far - Mbemba

    3. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      having it on mbemba. ( might go triple new w elliot and lascelles as well 🙂

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

      Richarlison

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

      2

      Expecting a CS. If he doesn't start it's unlilely he'll play at all so doesn't really matter.

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

      Richarlison.

      6.0 midfielders should be trusted a bit more than 4.0 defenders.

      He was so close to scoring at the weekend too and you wouldn't have asked the question if it went in.

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

    Bottomed

    Best up to 5.3 mid (not Atsu)

    1. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      davis?

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

      Go cheap - RLC

    3. Forza Juventus
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not many good options as you could imagine, probably Loftus Cheek.

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

      How about Emre Can

  4. Forza Juventus
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    De Gea - Elliot
    Kompany - Bertrand - Dawson - Suttner - Mariappa
    Salah - Mkhi - Alli - Atsu - Carroll
    Kane - Jesus - Joselu

    1FT 1.1 ITB

    Do i just roll the free transfer til next week?

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

      dawson to kola

      1. Forza Juventus
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Considered that earlier today, but i'm kinda wondering if to keep some ITB to allow me to get Hazard if he finally starts and looks dangerous, or some form of Chelsea cover somewhere..

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

      jesus to aguero?

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

      Not looking at an Atsu upgrade?

      Even to Ritchie would tempt me.

  5. ENZO SZN™
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Want to get rid of Suttner (4.5). 0.8 ITB with 1 FT.
    My def - Bavies, Bertrand, Naughton, Suttner, 4.0

    Cresswell looking good to me.

    1. Forza Juventus
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jones comes to mind for me

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

      Consider Stones

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

      Cresswell should be nailed, and while Lanzini is out he's on his fair share of corners too. If you wanted a cheaper route into WHU defense, Ogbonna should be coming in for the injured James Collins, but it's not a 100% guarantee

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Ogbonna appears to be the most likely to get chopped if they drop into a back four again. Cresswell/Hart are okay picks - but personally I'm steering clear of West Ham for the foreseeable. Strangely I'd say Carroll is their best option if he can keep fit. Great price and surprisingly potent.

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

    1. Otamendi + Kolasinac
    2. Hegazi + Azpi

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

      1, comfortably

    2. Forza Juventus
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah once Otamendi keeps his place week in week out then 1 by a long way i feel.

    3. _figu

      1

  7. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Looks like Kane just realised he captained himself in that pic.

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 7 months ago

        The Scream, version fem.

    2. rnrd
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wellbeck out 1 month
      Time to Bring the Alexis on?

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Looks like Ramsey just became an even better pick too - but I think Sanchez (if funds allow) would be an interesting if very risky punt.

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

        Haha. It's awesome that Welbecks injury makes Sanchez more appealing and less risky

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

          By awesome i mean completly nuts.

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

      Best pogba replacement with 0.3ITB? I'm thinking Sigurdsson isn't a terrible shout for the next few gwk's.. thoughts?

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

        Everton are at sea at the moment, and many players like Eriksen, Mhki and Silva already performing at that price.

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

          Already got KDB, Lukaku, Kane. Surely Koeman can get something from BOU BUR bha

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

            He could, but I don't think he will significantly outscore those options. Mhki and Lukaku is a good combination at the moment, and when Kane starts scoring properly Eriksen will be getting a bagful of assists. Everton just look a bit impotent at the moment.

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

        Silva

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

        Silva or Ramsey

      4. Forza Juventus
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Mkhi would be ideal but i'm assuming your priced out by 0.1, so next best choice in that price bracket would be David Silva or to go way cheaper and upgrade a player elsewhere.

      5. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'd also go Ramsey. Great price, great fixtures.

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

        silva no questions

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

      Elliot
      Jones - Cedric - Alonso
      Richarlison - Mkhitaryan - Salah - Ramsey
      Morata - Lukaku - Firmino

      Foster, Hegazi, Naughton, Carroll

      A) Firmino + Hegazy + Richarlison -> Jesus + Loftus-Cheek + Mbemba for -4?
      B) Firmino + Alonso -> Aguero + Mbemba

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

        b

    5. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      What would you do with this team? Realie midfield is weak but only need to downgrade one forward to upgrade mid.

      Elliot
      Maguire Alderweireld Mee
      Richarlison Eriksen Atsu Gross
      Kane Jesus Lukaku

      Forster Betrand Carroll Hegazi

      0.2m ITB

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

        Kane -> Aguero if you've got a FT.

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

      Bench one

      A) CM
      B) Naughton
      C) Joselu

      Thinking B. Don't think Swansea will keep a CS.

    7. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      1FT, 1.6 ITB. What to do?

      Elliot
      Valencia - Bavies - Hegazi - Mee
      Alli - Salah - Mkhi - Brady
      Lukaku - Morata

      Forster, Bertrand, Tarroll, McBurnie

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

        Mortata -> Aguero/Jesus

      2. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I also have Hegazi, what do you think will he keep starting and also the fixtures take a turn for the worse soon

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

        Depends how badly (or if at all) you want City attack I guess.

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

          Because if the answer is no, save. If not, Morata to Jesus/Aguero is the obvious one.

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

        Hegazi > Kolasinac

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

        Hegazi -> Kola

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

        Hegazi to Kola. Then smoke a doob

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Is the correct answer

        2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 7 Years

          This.. Doob party only.

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

      Sorry for ask again but I will WC in 2 weeks and looking for up to 5.3 mid to fit in Kun.
      Have Atsu so Davis or RLC look good but their next game isnt great to maybe I will just play Carroll in those 2 next games (Wat, WHU) or maybe go wild - Fellaini, Can or Matic?

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

        If it's definitely only for two weeks before a WC, Fellaini is a good shout. Chance Mou brings in Herrera. See if Fellaini plays in the cup.

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

        Just play Carroll

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

      Looking forward to the scoutcast tonight and city teamsheet tomorrow.

      Hopefully some guidance provided on my plan to do lukaku to kun this week.

      And then kun back to lukaku next week when city play Chelsea and United play palace

      Anyone else looking at this idea???

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

        I've tried something like this before; it didn't work. Injuries always come up and you'll be wanting to make another move next week. I therefore think it's better to think of it as a -4, at which point I'd be more inclined to look longer term and try and incorporate both.

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

          Maybe - but I'll be wildcardinf in the int break so even if I get an injury next week it is possible I'll be able to carry it over til I wildcard...

        1. Bury94
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

        3. There Can Be Only One
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Liverpool, swansea and Newcastle have a great 3 way rotation, 7 out of 8 games at home, and then 3 more great fixtures. Moreno is a gamble but can always swap him out if he is benched regularly for Robertson

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

        Better option (more points) this GW:

        b) Lukaku + Kun (c) -4

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

          needs time to adapt

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

          Overrated
          Not built for the PL

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

        Better option just for one next game

        a) Carroll (Wat)
        b) Can (Lei)
        c) Fellaini (Sou)

        Thoughts on Eriksen > Hazard in a few weeks?

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

          Eriksen is a season keeper for me

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

          not yet for sure

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

          Sideways move

      12. Aubaaaaa
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Which pair?
        A. Hazard Hemed
        B. Ramsey Vardy

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

          b

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

          B if Vardy is fit

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

          B

        DDG
        Kolasinac - Otamendi - BDavies
        Ritchie - CMoting - Mkhi - GroB
        Kane - Lukaku - Aguerooooooo

        Elliot - Carroll - Mbemba - Rosenior

        Good to go? Seems to be a distinct lack of 4.0m defenders this year!

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

          Mbemba and Rosenior will be dropped soon so dont do it mate

          6 years, 7 months ago

          WC?
          Midfield a bit light I would say do Moting to RLC and Mbemba/Rosenior to Dawson/Evans
