The Big Numbers – Gameweek 15

An upturn in form by Palace’s former Villa man and a certain enigmatic Bulgarian over at Craven Cottage come under the spotlight this evening. Tottenham’s improvement in front of goal and United’s faltering home form are also picked apart in our latest review of the statistics from the weekend and beyond:

    Trying to get Silva in next week, but 0.4 short of a straight swap for Sess. Other option is Ozil > Silva (which would also allow Sess > Walcott some time in the future).

    Thoughts? Other suggestions to raise that 0.4 welcome as well. Cheers

      The only 'sensible' way I can see is to downgrade Koscielny. Any other way wouldn't be worth it.

        Cheers Sarj. Yea sounds sensible with the 2 games ahead, but would only want him back for the run after the next 2.

        Ozil Sess > Silva Walcott over the next 2 a good shout? Walcott should be back in the starting line up by GW18 surely.

          Why would you transfer out a player who's returned decent points, to bring in one player who's just got back from injury, and another who hasn't made it into the starting line up yet? Sessegnon to Silva is a good transfer as Sessegnon hasn't been delivering at all, when he's actually had plenty of opportunities to do so.

            completely agree with your points, very hesitant to make that move. Just feel I need some City attackers (though have survived recent weeks without).

            Looks like Kosc downgrade is the only "sensible" way to fund Sess > Silva as you've pointed out. Bad planning on my part, if i kept Mig and did Kosc>Distin, would have the funds right away to do Sess > Silva next week!

              That's why I like to shift players in and out of my team, without actually making a transfer, to see what way is the best option. I look at the fixtures and try to guess what players I'd want the week after and the week after that. That way I know the best way to get the players I want before I make a transfer.

                It never works out though. One week I'll say that I want so and so in, but then when it comes to it I don't get them in lol. I was adamant I was bringing in Distin for this weekend. Instead I've done Skrtel + Cabaye to B. Turner + Hazard.

                  Yea i find it hard to stick to a definite plan as well. If transfer plan is too rigid and something else happens, I end up making bad transfers.

                  The plan for the fixtures ahead was to get additional EVE defence, Distin Jags or Howard and just got Howard in. I still feel that's the best option, given his save points. Any bonus points is icing on the cake.

                  Next priority is Silva in, and kosc would probably have to give way 🙂

                That's what I usually do dammit. Judgment clouded by the need to get rid of Mig and Howard's price rising. All's good, not necessarily a "problem" to have Howard and Kosc in defence.

                  Look at it this way... Between now and the wildcard who will score the most points?

                  A) Koscielny + Sessegnon
                  Or
                  B) Silva + a £5m defender

                  I think B will. Also, it might be good to bring in a West Ham defender for Koscielny. They have a good fixture this weekend, two shit gameweeks, so you'll have to bench, and then amazing fixtures from gameweek 19 all the way to the end!

                    Agree, think B would score better as well. Yep was looking at WHU/NEW for 4.9 defenders, rotates pretty well with the rest of my defenders for the next few games.

                    So would be Kosc > Colo/Collins, and Sess > Silva for -4 next week.

                    Let's see how Sess does this week. Seems to be hitting a slight uptick in form

                        You reckon? Defensively they look quite worrying since Reid's been out. In any case it's Collins vs Colo for me.

        Seems like it. Was afraid that'd be the answer, but have already done a FT this week to get Howard in.

        If I shift Kosc next week and get Silva in for Sess, would be for a hit and I'd only want Kosc back for the games after that. Tough. Might just "risk" it with Ozil > Silva next week?

      Just looking at the high profile injury returnees of late (Benteke, Walcott, RVP), I personally wouldn't jump in too quick.

    This is how I think we might line up tonight. Oscar should be on the bench. Schurrle, after that fantastic performance at the Brittania, could be in line to start against Palace. I am certain that Hazard wont feature in the starting Xi tonight. The only problem would be Luiz. Could it be a match too soon for him to start? Possibly. But I fancy him to start even if he is 75% imo. Terry needs a rest.

        Schurrle, if fit will start. Has earned a start. JT is still the best CB we have. Ideally, Jose would like to rest him ahead of this busy schedule of games. And tonight's game looks a good bet as any for him to rest based on Luiz's recovery.
        Hence I think Jose would like to play Luiz not just to regain match fitness but also it would mean a rest for JT

      I've taken so many ill-advised punts this season: Lallana (when he stopped scoring), Snodgrass, Pablo, Paulinho, Siggy...and my brand new weapon: Jonjo 😆

      Although tbf, every mid right now feels like a punt since nobody is really delivering consistently (aside from Ozil, Yaya, etc.).

      Every week, a new "desirable" punt comes along and one becomes tempted to take a chance just for the heck of it.

Have corrected the team now and feel it is solid going into the busy Xmas schedule and my rank has climbed from 780k to 200k in a couple of weeks and now 2ft's sitting in case of emergency.

    This is how my starting Xi's ownership looks like

    4.3%

    6.3% 17.2% 22.7%

    24.9% 62.2% 17.7% 3.0%

    41.5% 28.4% 33.8%

    Doesn't mean much really. But I'd like to think that the "ideal team" in terms of ownership would be the ones that covers the players with maximum ownership and also have decent differentials that can push you up the rankings. Anyone else looking for the proper balance in terms of ownership of players?

          Defence is where it's at I reckon. Most people move to a generic attack as certain players stand out. This usually means leaving the defence alone, but getting lucky like Chico's goal for me last week is gold dust. GJ and Terry on the other hand......

            I plan to keep GJ for another couple of weeks. With Gerrard out, he could very well be pushed up to provide the attacking spark for Pool and to feed Suarez. Let's see how he does against Spurs.

            As for Terry, I got him in when we played West Ham with the intention of getting rid after the Palace game. Hasn't done that bad for me. Getting rid for Evans next week

    After several weeks where my team was ok, this week fixtures trouble it. Can anyone give me any ideas of best moves here?

    Mignolet 4.0
    Terry Coleman Chico Walker Chester
    Ozil Coutinho Ramsey Brunt Redmond
    Suarez Aguero Lukaku

    1FT 0.0 in bank

    Is my priority:
    A) Keeper change, given Mignolet's fixtures?
    B) Chelsea attacking coverage? Only way I can get Hazard in is via Ozil or a hit. I can do Cout -> Lampard though.

    Ozil is in form but has shocking fixtures. Coutinho and Mignolet are both lose-able.

    Thoughts?

            Coutinho I don't trust. Hopefully Michu runs into form and we can all get him, otherwise the extra cash from cheaper def should be used for a Cout upgrade to Haz/Silva me thinks.

      Straight swap sounds the best plan i think.

      Would go with Silva i guess, think he'll walk straight back in. A home game (arsenal i know) and then fulham looks pretty good fixture wise.

      If you upgrade I think chico is worth getting rid of now more than amalfitano, Swansea have been pretty frustrating to own in the backline recently. Maybe look at a cheapie to help upgrade elsewhere next week if your squad needs it.

    Has the suspension of the Gal vs Juv game meant we can't make subs & captains changes in the UCL game?
