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.

    Those transferring Kane out before an away game, is that wise? Look at the results so far to tell you what you need. Spurs 5 goals without reply away from home in two games, one of which was tough in Everton....

    For me it's worth keeping the faith with him, his prime fixtures seem to be away games and last season showed it was largely irrelevant for him. And where do City struggle.... At the emptihad, yes they looked good against a good Watford team but the Liverpool home game was an anomaly for me with the Mane red card.

    Consider myself talked out of Kane to Aguero...

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I agree with some bits. I have Kane and am holding.
      But using the word "struggle" to describe City at home isn't really fair is it.

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

      Kane is poor value at the moment. He's not scored in 4 out of 5 matches and not assisted in any of them. £12.5m is just too much for someone with those stats.

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Your using the casuals stats though. Other underlying stats are very good.

        1. greghammer95
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Ahhh but you're using the casual pro stats... The underlying stats show under that he hasn't had many big chances but is shooting a lot.... I still want him.

    anyone heard the lukaku chant that was apparently banned.

  5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Burnley have blocked 50 opposition shots this season. The average for the 19 other teams is 16 blocks.
    And they defeated Chelsea, snatched points from Spurs and Liverpool

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years

      Wow.

        Playing for that team who keeps losing 4-0 etc.

          This

    3. Speédy
      • 7 Years

      Top 10 on the cards if they can keep it up.

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

    Regardless of how bad my team does it's still good to look at a strike force of kaku kun Kane

      Imagine If All of them blank 😮

    2. Pegboy

      6 years, 7 months ago

      Out of those three options, B.

      I'd be looking to ship Trippier, personally. Wait and see if he plays tonight. If he does, can you stretch to Kola? Or at least switch to Davies.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Not to Kola sadly 🙁 But to Davies yes. I am monitoring tonight yeah. Hopefully Aurier plays 🙂

    Eriksen, Xhaka, Obiang, Mkhitaryan, Carroll
    Lukaku, Firmino, Aguero

    Transfer team options:

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years

      Now yes. I wouldn't have gotten him for the fixtures he had.

  13. goriuanx

    Mohamed Salah is basically just incredible.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Can I ship Firmino then?

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Certainly the best 'big money' signing so far. For his age and ability bargain.

  14. greghammer95
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Who to play....

    Forster (MUN) or Elliott (bha)... Got to be Elliott right?

    1. It’s a Knockaert
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Elliot

    2. Speédy
      • 7 Years

      Elliott

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

      Elliot no brainer

    4. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Elliott

    5. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Elliot

    6. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Elliot no brainer. Utd have scored 2 or more every game.
      Newcastle have actually kept clean sheets

  15. It’s a Knockaert
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    When will atsu' she price increase?
    Salah, miki or silva?

    1. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      A few days... Use this website... http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/

      It depends on over coverage... Out the three I went for Salah this week and have Lukaku as my United cover, Silva I think is an OK option but feel like it's just damage limitation owning him with the other City players bound to outscore him.

  16. mikess
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    A) Save FT. Play one from Hegazi (ARS), Schindler (bur) or Mbemba (bha)

    B) Hegazi > Mee

    2. Speédy

      A, Mbemba

    3. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Failed to mention I'm playing Elliott

    4. Azathoth
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Save and play Mbemba.

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

      Cheers consensus Save. Mull over whether to double with Mbemba or spread the risk

  17. Point-one short
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Afternoon all. Have Mounie and defence looking a bit rough this week... Which of these transfer/s is best?

    A) Daniels, Mounie -> Kola, Quaner -4 (leaves 1.0itb)
    B) Daniels -> Jones
    C) Daniels, Mounie -> Kola, Joselu (have ritchie) -4
    D) something else

    Elliot
    Daniels Bavies Naughton
    Erik Salah Mkhi Ritchie
    Kane Kaku Mounie

    Foster | Cedric TC Long

    Cheers for your opinions

    1. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Similar issue to me, I have Mounie but feel like keeping him one more week as there are no options below that 6.0m range for me to upgrade Daniels to Kola like I also want too...

      I've settled on Daniels to Kola and Bertrand to Naughton for -4. I expect no more than 4 points between the two I'm transferring out. Hoping for at least one clean sheet from the one's transferring in to break even. Then Kola is a beast going forward. Perhaps you could do something similar with Cedric?

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. The trouble is I'm then still stuck with the mounster and don't have cedric for the upcoming good soton fixtures

        1. greghammer95
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I thought of that too, you have Kola and Bavies who you'd play every game right? Then you've got Naughton in for two nice fixtures in the same two weeks (HUD, LEI)

          Mounie for me is going on a punt on Andy Carroll next week I think, hoping Mounie starts this week as could plausibly do something against Burnley, at least wait for the press conferences and then make the move if he's confirmed out. If confirmed fit no point getting rid this week.

  18. Toby Lerone
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is anyone who hasn't, still planning on getting aguero this week? Double rise already. I have kane and luk and i think I've missed the boat on this one

    1. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Think about it this way, if he started at 11.6 and hadn't rose yet what would you then do? It's what the player is worth to you in points and will he outscore Kane?

      I felt a bit disheartened this morning as was pondering Kane to Aguero myself, didn't do it for a variety of reasons and now decided that actually Kane's fixtures (The away ones) are arguably as good as Aguero being at home...

      Ignore the price rise, let it be a lesson. You have the benefit now of monitoring for injuries during the week too.

      1. Toby Lerone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Good point. I have the armband on Kane, my gut says he will do well there. Here's hoping. Im gonna stick to my guns and hope for the best

      No way

    2. VFORVANDETA

    5. Pegboy

      Bad move

    6. InSaneMan-e

    Hemed or Tom Carroll for GW6?

      Carrol

  22. Emiliano Sala

    Which one?
    A) lukaku + wimmer
    B) alli + mendy

    1. VFORVANDETA

      B

  23. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years

    Elliott away to Brighton or De Gea away to Southampton?

    Neither do very many goals

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

      De Gea

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

        Yeah go for the Mourinho team any day

    2. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      De Gea - In the better team and Saints struggle for goals. The only good thing with Elliott is you get someone in a Sunday game to watch and keep an interest.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Watching a player trying to keep a cs is never fun. I prefer televised players with attacking potential 😉

        1. greghammer95
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Oh me too but still something to look out for and then you're wanting Newcastle to win etc. I had it even more interesting on Friday, just had Daniels in the game and was driving from Liverpool to Essex, hoping for a CS listening to commentary is next level geek.

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes you do have transfers worth doing but not necessarily this week. I'd save. If your like a lot here you'd get Kun for 1 of your big hitters

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Not worth imo. I'll be burnt either way.

    3. VFORVANDETA

      That's tough. 3 for sure. Could be any 2 of 2,4,5,8

        Hes on 21.3% ownership now,little over 1M.
        So 300k or 30% to lose 0.1,read somewhere it was 10%.

          It takes more for them to rise/drop if they are red flagged.

    A. Alderweireld + Monreal

    or

    B. Bavies + Kolasinac

    Bear in mind, I'd ditch the Arsenal defender for Alonso in GW 8.

    Took out Hegazi last week for the much lauded Davies.
    Doesn't even feature. Hegazi scores 6. C'est la vie.

    However, if this is likely to be a regular occurrence with rotation. Is someone like Otamendi a better option?

    Also, Deli Alli is starting to give me a ball ache. Wanted Spurs cover given no Kane but in the end I'm not really missing Kane.
    Maybe another game or 2 before I let that ship sail.

    Any way to improve this w/c team? 0 in the bank but not too sure on the GKs...

    Elliot, Foster
    Stones, Lascelles, Kolasinac, Naughton, Hegazi
    Eriksen, Salah, Mkhitaryan, Obiang, Carroll
    Lukaku, Aguero, Rashford
