The Big Numbers – Gameweek 8

Our usual post-Gameweek members’ article arrives this afternoon, as we take a look at some of the main performers over the previous round of fixtures.

Key midfielders from Man City and Spurs are assessed, while we also analyse Liverpool’s attack since the return of Philippe Coutinho.

Meanwhile, our new expected goals numbers highlight how Wilfried Zaha thrived up front upon his return to the Eagles’ fold.

    Dawson and Vardy > 4.5 + Morata for -4 next week. Yes or no?

    Dawson needs to be sold quickly as he will drop to 4.9 and has rubbish fixtures. If Morata plays well tonight and this weekend then obviously needed before rise and Vardy could struggle as Leicester are a big question mark now.

      Can it wait till after this gw? Not sure on taking him out for a hit just yet. Anyway see how he does tonight, if he scores a hat trick you'll probably be 100% convinced to go down that route

        Not the first time you've replied without reading properly! Get yer glasses on!

      Absolutely no point in deciding next week's transfer before any of this weekend's games have been played and CL games still to play. Relax about the "supposed" drop.

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

        Next week I'm planning

        def (Davies?) + Cork > 4.2 def + Richarlison, or
        def (Davies?) + Vardy > 4.3 def + Aguero

        No harm in thinking ahead. If I get Silva over Sterling this week, I wouldn't be able to afford Richarlison or Aguero next week 🙂

    As a Kun non-owner/potential buyer, hoping for 60 mins with just the one goal, assisted by Silva or Sterling

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Me and you both!

    2. George James
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Same.

    3. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      20 minutes or less likely.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        He'll either get 60 or 30 mins imo

  3. wotwot
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Get Kun or Jesus?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Flip a coin right now.....

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Personally, I'm avoiding both until next week, since I want Kun but he might not play. (Actually might still get neither next week).

  4. George James
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Repost.

    Save or Davies >> Jones?

    Elliot
    Cedric Azpi Stones Davies
    Hazard Silva Richarlison
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    J.P Carroll RLC Humeneir

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I would save. But not sure though(change of mind comes the deadline)

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

    Who are the first choice centre-backs for Stoke at the moment? Is Wimmer good option long term? Plan to bring him in on wc and rotate with one of Burnley defenders, probably Ward..thoughts?

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

      I wouldn't trust Wimmer. Martins-Indi, Shawcross and Zouma when all fit may start in the back 3.

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

        Pieters than best option?

  6. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with this bunch;

    Elliot
    Alonso Trippier Simpson Cresswell
    Eriksen Silva Richarlison
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    Foster Mooy Zanka Carroll

    Thinking of saving transfer, but Kane & Mooy > Morata & Sterling/Zaha(-4) is tempting.

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy > Firmino

      1. YoungPretender
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Nah not too keen on that. Liverpool away at Spurs this coming GW. May consider that move next GW. Have been a frustrated Firmino owner in the past though, and would consider Salah/Coutinho before him.

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

    Anyone got a min to look at this lot?

    Fabianski
    Davies Azpili Stones Wimmer
    Coutinho Silva Choupo
    Vardy Kane Jesus

    Elliot Ward Richarlson RLC

    Im likely to play Richarlson now I know his ban is not happening.

    1FT 0ITB.

    I am thinking save for a week see how Kane gets on and then maybe make a few transfers. e.g. Drop Stones and get Sterling or Aguero or Morata. Possibly even upgrade Chuopo if I get rid of Kane.

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

      Yep, save. Easy decision

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

        Cheers, sometimes having no major issues can make it hard 🙂 Will save though.

    2. Adams6
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, wait for next week and reassess

  8. Pino

    Kaku/Morata/Kane

    0.8 ITB ,1ft

    1. brenks

      Add a man city attacker. Jesus or kun? Id look at that defence th following week if you have spare cash too.

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

    Hi 🙂

    If I have Fabianski, Elliot, Simpson and Tarroll for next week... which 2 would you play?

    1. Detweiler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Elliot and Carroll

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I thinl fabian and simpson

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

        Answers show its a two way road...

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

        Isnt it risky, they can cancel each other out?

  11. marquinhos
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts please?

    Elliot

    Cedric Jones Naughton

    Silva Carroll Salah Eriksen

    Kane Vardy Lukaku

    Foster; RLC, Mee, Hunemier

    1 FT, 0.1 ITB

  12. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I have Jesus and Sterling, and Dele Alli. What do I do? If I put David Silva in then what about Aguero in a week or two...I need to think long term. After this gameweek
    Im going to put Coutinho or Salah in so maybe i should just put one of them in now for Alli?

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No, get your city assets this week they have a much better fixture than pool

  13. Saka Rice

  14. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Play Elliot(CRY H) or Ryan(WHU A)

    1. YoungPretender
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Elliot by a country mile.

    2. Detweiler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Elliott

  15. Ode
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    There has been lots of talk here on if Aguero starts this gw or not, here's my view on it:

    If he wasn't fit he wouldn't train nor be an option in the bench. Him not being used from the bench might say that Pep isn't risking him aggravating the injury, but it could also mean that there was no need to play him. Jesus & Sane played 87 & 90 minutes against Napoli. I could be wrong, but I think he will start

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

      Sounds like he isn't 100% off what you just posted.

      1. Ode
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Of course not 100%, but I think there's a good chance of him starting

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

          More chance of aggravating the injury by starting. More chance of only playing if losing or a draw. More rest the better.

    2. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Contradiction in there somewhere 😀

  16. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    When Aguero is back who looks the better asset Jesus or De Bruyne?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think Sane losses his spot and Jesus Aguero Sterling start imo

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        So still Jesus

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Still Jesus imo. De Bruyne too expensive for my taste and since Silva and Sterling are cheaper, I don't see why anyone should go for him.

    3. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
      • 7 Years

      Thanks all

  17. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Moses or Zappacosta to start this weekend in your opinion? If you had to guess before tonights line up

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Zappacosta. Is Moses fine?

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Thought Moses was out for a month?

    3. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Moses is out for atlesst 4 weeks.

  18. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Will Elliot ever rise?

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Lots of wildcarders bringing/brought him in, so it might take until next GW 'til we will see a rise.

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Does it matter?

      Most nailed player in my team lol.

      1. Detweiler
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Agree it doesn't matter - season keeper (bar injury)

  19. That Fantasy Guy
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Hi all pending no injuries in CL,
    My current team is
    Elliot - Krul
    Kolasinac - Davies - Alonso - Naughton - Jones
    Brady - Ritchie - Salah - RLC - Carroll
    Morata - Kane - Lukaku
    0.1 itb 2 FT

    Thinking I might skip city for another week then do lukaku to aguero and also another week to assess the Davies area.
    Will just do Brady to choupa-moting this week.
    Thoughts?

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

      Good idea, but it seems a little foolish not to get Sterling in with 2FTs this week. You could still get Kun next week.

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        good point actually cheers

  20. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Who are these people buying Kun preemptively? Will be so annoying if he rises.

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      People see a fit Aguero, they want to bring him in. Simple as that.

      Still, risky when you haven't seen him play yet. 😆

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I want to buy him gw10 but still want these people to be punished for it so conflicted atm

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      People that have never broken their ribs.

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

        Aguero is buying himself then? Hihi

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I would be more annoyed if he takes home the match ball

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Doubt that happens, he'll get max 60 mins, more probable he gets 30

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

          I could score 3 for City sitting on the 6-yard line, waiting for KDB do get to the byline and play pinball with my arse and face. However many minutes Kun gets, I wouldn't write off a hattrick until the game was over.

          I'm not getting him this week myself, though, and perhaps not even next week.

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I can't get him back in if he rises !

  21. Detweiler
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What do you think of this?

    Foster to Hart (to pair with Elliott), which frees up funds for Ritchie to Richarlison next week.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sounds good

  22. FPL Puppy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Would you rather have Sterling(BUR) or Coutinho(tot) this week?

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

      Sturnleyng

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      This week? Raheem

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling

    4. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      This week obviously Sterling but maybe both from next week.

    5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling

  23. New Post

    • 11 Years

    If you have to lose one, who would you lose over the next run of fixtures, Eriksen or Salah?

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Erik compared to Salah

  25. EMERGING STAR
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    My problem is that somehow I dont want to get rid of anyone in my team even with 2FT and 1.1 ITB including form out players (Firmino, Alli) because they are nailed to start and points are due. Lost 0.2 already.

    Just upgrade Krul to Fabianski?

  26. FredrikH
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Help me sort out this defense.
    Elliot Foster*
    Davies* Hegazi* Jones (Mbemba* Rosenior*)

    0.3 itb 2FT!

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

      Hegazi to Maguire and then hold the FT just to see if Davies stays hot?

      Or Davies to Luiz and Hegazi to Ward?

  27. beefo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Hi all, I need some help...

    A) Vardy/Coutinho to Jesus/Zaha for -4 (0.1 ITB)
    B) Davies/Coutinho to Jones/Sterling for -4 (1.4 ITB to save for later Morata upgrade)
    C) Davies to Jones (0.6 ITB)
    D) Coutinho to Sterling (0.9 ITB)
    E) leave it all alone

    Current team:
    Fabs, Elliot
    Davies, Luiz, Ward, Stones, Maguire
    Hazard, Coutinho, Silva, Choupo-Moting, RLC
    Kane, Vardy, Joselu (0.1 ITB, 1FT)

    Thanks in advance, everyone!
