The Big Numbers – Gameweek 6

Up next, we make our regular post-Gameweek assessment of the Opta data for our members.

The improved performances of Alvaro Morata, Jamie Vardy and Raheem Sterling come under close scrutiny, along with Man City’s relentless attack.

We also check out the impact of want-away midfield big-hitters Alexis Sanchez and Philippe Coutinho, before casting an eye over Marcos Alonso’s downturn in output as the Fantasy exodus on him picks up pace.

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

      Long term probably Davies. Next two gws, one of the Arsenal. I quite like bellerin

      1. nadman89
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        rose should be back soon . so id actually say bellerin long term

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

          Absolutely no sign of Rose being back soon. The club have said that for 9 months. They haven't even put a date on when he'll be back in training.

            THAT'S QUITE ALRIGHT IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US, see? Sorry about that.

          IF Rose were to be back.... Why would he even be guaranteed back in the team? Davies is in super form.

          1. DON BE ZILLY
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Rose is a headcase too. His yellow card tally is appalling.

    3. Gregor

      Bellers.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Does Sanchez impede Kolas going forward ? Maybe Bellers is the best choice

    Captain Kane looks a no brainer to me

    19 in his last 9 away from home, and he's in that form of his where he looks like scoring whenever he receives the ball.

      lukaku vs a bad team.....

  3. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 7 months ago

    Please help! Red arrows the past couple weeks.

    Foster
    Davies / Kolasinac / Jones
    Ritchie / Alli / Mkhi / Ramsey
    Lukaku / Aguero / Abraham

    Bench: Elliot, Mee, Dunk, T.Carrol

    Havent got a FT so any move is for a -4.

    A. Ramsey --> Liverpool mid
    B. Ramsey --> David Silva
    C. Any other suggestions?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      You're perfect for this week. Just stick.

      Not sure how that team got you a red arrow last week unless you took hits to get it?

    2. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      ramsey was probably the best player on the pitch against west brom unlucky to not score . why would you move him . brighton home

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

    If you're debating what to do with Firmino, get rid. He's in one of those runs where even an open goal looks hard for him to score, goes through this occasionally.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, I think so too. He'll come good again, but he's struggling a little at the moment. Doesn't ever seem to be given a rest.

    2. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      he missed one badly last night bad control in front of goal

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

      Problem is - it's Vardy this week or hold for one more and get Morata as part of a double move. Thoughts?

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

        No need to rush, i'd say roll the transfer and reassess next week. At least then you will have more options.

    4. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I think Firmino gets one more week. Even KDB delivered assists after everybody sold him because he looked deeper than the wreckage of Titanic.

  5. Deano
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Ramsey's ownership will be up to 30% by December!

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ramsey's chances of playing will be down to 30% by December!

      1. nadman89
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        hes been arsenals most consistent performer

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Meant moreso to do with injury not performance..

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    "Alonso was unlucky" - Mark

    Did he watch the game? If anything he was lucky not to be sent off.

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Lucky not be sent off but unlucky not to make 60 having got away with it.

  7. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I sold Sterling this week, for D.Silva 😕 Was convinced he'd be bench after playing 90 the week before and midweek.

    Only turned out to be a 2 point diff plus 4 point hit, but the prospect of having a Man City attacking asset benched vs Palace was too much to take! Going forwards, it looks like D.Silva is the more reliable pick.

    Am pleased for Sterling though. IRL, very trusting but from an FPL view, he's been immense this season and doesn't get any credit.

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling has gone from underrated to EXTREMELY overrated, which everyone realised, to being underrated again.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        yep, he seems a bit of a marmite figure

    2. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      one of his goals was bogus . the one at bournemouth . but he has been good .

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Ha, I went bonkers when that goal went in as we were having a family get together to the banter was flowing. 😀 After I'd stopped jumping around for 5 minutes, I realised he'd then been sent off!!

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Don't know where "trusting" cam from... was meant to be frustrating.

  8. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Who do you think is mendy's best replacement considering city will no longer play 4 at the back ?
    Walker? Bellerin? Williams? Stones? Moses? Luiz?
    Already have: kolasinac davies alonso jones

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Azpi if possible.

      With your defence I'd be tempted by a 4.5 from Burnley.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm not sure of your logic... why won't Mendy play against Chelsea as a wingback?

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

        lololol

      2. weaver93

        Mendy injured - out indefinitely..

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

        he's potentially out for a very long time

        1. COLLIN QUANER
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          possibly 9 months according to talksport twitter

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

            long indeed

      4. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Ah, he was yellow flagged last time I looked. Cheers, as you were...

  9. FF Dirtbag

    Going to WC next week I think so what should I do with my 1FT?! 0 mill in the bank.

    Foster
    Davies Jones Mee
    Eriksen D.Silva Willian Brady
    Lukaku Kane(c) Firmino

    Elliot; Carroll, Stephens, Hunemeier

    Firmino to Rashford (for a game?)

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

      Firm > Vardy

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

        This

      2. FF Dirtbag
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        a)Not worried about Willian?
        b)Think Vardy will score better than Firmino?

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino > Rashford, for a 1 week punt, definitely 🙂

      I was looking at you doing Willian to Martial as I thought you had 1m ITB, but read it wrong.

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        considering it... but then rashford rarely scores more than 1

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Willian to Mata?

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

    At the IB these moves
    Lukaku - Morata
    Wood - Vardy
    Foster - Krul
    For -4
    Elliot Krul
    Kola Bavies Cedric Sutter Long
    Salah Erikson Silva Atsu Tarrol
    Kun Morata Vardy

    Looks good ppl ?

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I do like that..

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

      Not too shabby at all

    3. Twisted Saltergater

      very nice

      1. Manumana

        Thx alo

  11. Bobby_Baggio
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    These moves madness or borderline genius...... Mahrez + Jesus > Silva + Lacazette (-4).

    Foster
    Danilo - Daniels - Jones
    Alli - Choupo - Mkhi - Mahrez
    Jesus - Kane - Vardy

    Lascelles - T.Carroll - Rosenoir

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

      Worse, very template ...ZZZZZZzzzzzzz

      1. Bobby_Baggio

        lol please enlighten me oh wise one

        1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

          Double Leicester, you're beyond help

        2. DON BE ZILLY
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Ignore him, he just signs in to insult people. Mahrez to Silva should do, nothing else worth a hit.

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

            cheers mate

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

      Prefer Morata over Laca long term, but good moves otherwise.

    3. weaver93
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer Silva over Mahrez -TBH

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Could Mahrez be back on pens following Vardy's miss? Unlikey maybe.

    5. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I would hold and have two frees for the international break. Mahrez has a much better fixture than Silva. I'd wait til GW8 before making that move and then you can get Morata instead of Lacazette for Chelsea's fixtures.

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

      Lacazette could potentially be a great move imo. Ben doing well at home, stats are up and they have Brighton at home next...

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

    Foster (Elliott)
    Davies, Jones, Daniels (Suttner, Long)
    Eriksen, Salah, Mkhi, Richarlison (Carroll)
    Kane, Lukaku, Joselu

    2FT, £0.8m ITB

    Wildcarding next week, so looking to take a punt.
    Currently thinking Kolasinac, (Joselu > anyone, Suttner > Kola), and play 4-4-2 this week. Thoughts/suggestions?

  13. Totti
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    play 2:

    A) Otamendi
    B) Cresswell
    C) Naughton

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Last 2.

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

    Has anyone figured out a gw8 wildcard that contains all of these players?

    If you had to do without 1, who would it be....thanks

    Salah
    Eriksen
    Silva
    Kane
    Morata
    Vardy

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy.

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

        But there are no striker options below 8.5m unless I'm missing something....

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

      Probably Salah and bring him back in GW10. Utd & Spurs are not going to give up a lot of chances.

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

      i have them all currently with Lacca instead of Kane

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

      Going without Salah until GW10 with those other 5.

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

        How does the rest of the team look figu?

  15. vballer
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Please can someone advise. my current team is

    Foster
    Alonso Kolasinac Bdavies Cedric
    Salah Silva Mkhitaryan
    Kane Jesus Chicharito

    Subs: Chalobah RLC Mbemba

    Planning to do Jesus -> Lacazette. if anyone has any advice, would really appreciate 🙂

    1. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Why not Jesus > Vardy?

  16. FPLzebub
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    A. Sterling + Suttner
    B. Azpilicueta + Gross

    Choose one?

  17. POGLU
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Hey guys not planning to make a change this week, planning to make 3 next GW, what do u think?
    Current midfield & strikers
    Salah ALI RICHARLISON RLC Carrol
    AGUERO Kane Lukaku

    New
    Salah SANÉ SILVA RLC Carrol
    MORATA Kane lukaku

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Won't go for Sane+Silva

  18. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Best 3 strikers for this week only, in order...?

    a) Lukaku
    b) Aguero
    c) Lacazette
    d) Kane
    e) Jesus
    f) Morata

    1. jimmissel90
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      a,d,c

    2. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      and would you choose Vardy ahead of any of the top 3?

      1. le flem
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        no

    3. le flem
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      dac

      1. Dave Bauer
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Correct

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

      Considering minutes played Lukaku Kane morata

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

    Noticing some beginning to ditch Bavies? Reasons?

    1. J0E
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Because most of the 5m playing are basing decisions around last weeks points not fixtures, underlying stats etc.

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

      Avg .5 in the last two games.

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Because he has returned 0 and 1 in last couple of weeks, not something I expect being a first time owner 😛

  20. Sahil Yadav
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    If no injuries happen then I'll probably go with this team from gameweek 9 making 4 transfers. I have my WC left and i am thinking to save it

    FABIANSKI, Elliot
    Kola, Davies, Cedric, Mee, MBEMBA
    Alli, Salah, GROSS, Carroll, Rlc
    Kane, Lukaku, VARDY

    Players in caps are the players I'll be getting for Foster, Hegazi, Mkhi, Joselu

    Good enough? Still worried about the cheap players tho. And having Gross as my third mid

    1. Jsadler95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Looks fine. Gross is probably a better third mid than Joselu a third striker. With Vardy similar level to Mkhi I think. Surely have a little bit left over as well won't you?

  21. Eric Banternaaa
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Few changes from yesterday. Wildcard.

    Elliot Foster
    Jones Otamendi Ward Fernandez Mbemba
    Silva Mkhi Salah C.Moting Carroll
    Kane Vardy Morata

    0.7ITB. Plan to do Mkhi to Sane next week. Any comments appreciated..

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No Kaku (C) this GW is risky given that approaching 60% own him, and the vaste majority will captain him.

      Miki and Morata to Sane and Kaku, then Kaku to Morata next GW.

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

    People making the Firmino to Vardy switch tonight?

    Vardy up to 78.8 now on FPL stats and judging by FPL in the last few days, they have been pulling out some surprises.

    Seeing Liverpool fans hammer him last night and planning the whole game makes me feel this is a good time to sell.

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

      Doubt it he rises tonight.

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

        He was on about 20.0 on Monday.

        Rising rapidly and don't think we can hold until next game week.

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

      I made it a few nights ago!

      Vardy has looked electric every time I've watched Leicester this season. Starting to think he could well be a season keeper.

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

        Yeah I'm getting that same vibe and he's not as much of a rotation risk.

    need some advice..!

    Foster, Elliot

    Naughton Davies Jones Mee Long

    Eriksen Atsu Salah RLC T.Carroll

    Aguero Kane Jesus

    A: Jesus > Lacazette/Vardy/Morata

    B: Either Foster to a 4.0 or Mee/Naughton > Mbemba and do Jesus > Lukaku for -4.

    What are we saying?

      Transferring a player in for a week is not sustainable in the long run.

      Draft is a shambles but yea perhaps take him in case he fires

    My team is currently :

    Elliot
    Davies - Bertrand - Alonso
    Willian - Choupo-Moting - Mahrez - Ritchie
    Lukaku - Kane - Firmino

    Forster - Carroll - Mariappa - Long

    I have 0.6m itb, 1 FT and plan to WC next week

    I nearly took a -4 hit doing Long + Willian > Danilo + Davis/Groß

    Is this worth doing before a WC or do I have a better option??

    Firmino > Vardy possibly

      Your midfield is awful, no offence. Turn Moting into RLC/Carrol, same goes for Ritchie.

      Mahrez > Mikhi/Silva and Willian > Alli/Eriksen/Mané/Salah/Coutinho.

      1. Mick J

        So you suggest he should make four transfers, i.e. start the gameweek with minus 12, the week before he’s wildcarding?

        Bubbles, consider just doing Willian to Ramsey this week, but wait till after Thursday. Fix your midfield with the wildcard next week.

    Firmino doesn't need to be in form to score. We have never seen the Fab 4 playing together in the league. Lots of movements resulting in tap-ins. I would keep at least one week.

    RMT for this week

    Hart
    Cedric - Bellerin - Davies - Jones - Kola
    Mkhi - Alli - KDB
    Kane(c) - Firmino

    Bench: Elliot, Carroll, RLC, Quaner

    I can't believe the stat in this piece about a WHM player, very interesting consider they were playing Spurs (admittedly partially with 10 men)
