The Numbers Game – Dempsey Vs Dembele

5 November 2010 1591 comments

Paul

Last weekend saw a brace from Clint Dempsey grab the headlines in Fulham’s 2-0 win over Wigan as Mark Hughes’ side recovered from two straight league defeats to climb back into the top half of the table.

With a broken leg keeping Bobby Zamora sidelined for the next few months, Dempsey has been playing as an out-of-position forward for the Cottagers and the American has taken his chance to impress. In the six games Fulham have played since Zamora‘s Karl Henry-enforced injury, Dempsey has scored four goals and, taking Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Bonus Points into the equation, has racked up a total of 41 points during this period, compared with just 6 points in the first four league games of the season. Averaging almost seven points per game up front, then, Dempsey is making a mockery of the fact his price has dropped £0.3m (from £7m to £6.7m) since the season began.

In this latest Members article, we check out Dempsey’s key Opta stats from Gameweek 10 and compare them with his Fulham strike-partner Moussa Dembele. The result is somewhat surprising…

Do you think it's worth doing nani > arteta and accept I will lose 0.3 when I bring him back in?

    I have done the exact same move, only to be fair I'm only losing 0.2.
    
    His excellent fixture, at home to Wolves, has turned into a no-show followed by two tricky away games. Get rid.

Well. . . I have slept on it and Head still hurts Hurts!!

Need to pick 3 def + Caroll (or 4 defenders and lose andy)

Go with a, b, c, or d guys ?

A) Dann, Coleman, O Shea & Carrol (Elmo, Boateng)
B) Dann, O Shea, Elmo & Carrol (Coleman, Boateng)
C) Dann, Coleman, O Shea & Carrol (Elmo, o Shea)
D) Dann, Coleman, O Shea & Elmo (Caroll, Boateng)

      Good ToonT, been on hols for almost 3 wks so catching up on fpl. Hows things at toon towers, your obvioulsy chipper since the Sunderland Game?
      
      Do you think Carrol will start today v Arse given Shola brace? Will he try and "bully" gunner defense?
      
      Coleman v Blackpool feels too good to miss. Altho maybe no cleanie (ditto Elmo), its tough...

        Thats a real tough choice, Id def play Elmo, Dann, and Coleman but I have to say after that...its tough! Carroll will play yes...Ameobi did OK but Houghton knows he's inconsistent, I hesitate to say a bit crap, deep down, and cant offer what Carroll can. I think we'll score at Arsenal but who knows who'll do it..Im playing Carroll as I have to! Thinking of joining the Nani selling wagon as I have to sell someone..team is decimated this week...been on the slide...new course is SO dam hectic cant get on here much!
        Go anywhere nice? Last weekend was great yeah, and got a few game sorted, not been this season, cant wait!

        Florida mate, hence little chance for Web access just a copy of newspaper to keep me up-to-date.
        
        Had a caretaker manager in charge whilst off, did a grande job too.
        
        I have sold nani, he is going donw tonight and then play City (a) who will be boring, sorry tight to steady the ship.
        
        Im looking at Nani again around GW14.

        Yeah think thats how Im going. Have to do it now and get off, got a day of DIY ahead...fun and games. Ill try and get back on later when Fabs has scored me a hat trick and Arteta 2 and 2 assists to get y season going again!
        
        Play Coleman Id say, if he doesnt start always got decent subs...have a good day, hope that tan isnt fading!

  Jones is the safe bet, N'Zog the risk. This is the sort of the decision I would make depending on the rest of my team; is it strong enough to back up risk like that?

  To me, it looks like that team can get away without playing Nani, and still field a decent-enough 11.
  
  You may want to keep hold of him, therefore.

      Hahneman to Foster would be a very short-sighted transfer in my opinion; it should have been done a few weeks ago. Good for this week, but then the shocking Birmingham fixtures set in.

Why is everyone jumping on the Fabregas bandwagon? The bloke is out of form and he is up against a dangerous Geordie side who are high on confidence. P.S at 11.9 he is far too costly imo.
