The “Big Numbers” brings a new approach to our post-match coverage for our members, isolating the key player and team stats from the weekend action, whilst still offering our speculative punt at the FPL bonus points.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Arteta has 3 yellows in the league for Arsenal this season and 1 yellow for Everton. He also has 1 yellow for Everton in the league cup this season. Suspended for Villa too?

    2 free transfers, 0 in the bank.

    Ruddy
    Enrique, Simpson, Kompany, Jones
    VDV, Silva, Drenthe
    Ba, RVP, Ade

    Subs: Westwood, Sinclair, Eagles, Brown

    Was thinking Ade -> Sturridge until the Jan WC then I can get Ade back for the DGW. How about it? Any other transfers worth making?

      If anything this week and midweek is a "double header" as teams play 2 home games or 2 away games in the space of 3 or 4 days.

      I'm saving a transfer so that I have 2 for next week and it's down to Ba or Silva for (C).
      Fulham have a good defence and one of the strongest teams outside the top 6, Drenthe unsure whether he'll start or be another impact sub. RVP at Villa but Arsenal's decision making looked suspect again.

      Me personally, Ba(c), Silva(vc). Up top you.

      I think so. Good pts potential for Drenthe if he starts and despite some good returns from Pilks, he seems to be out in the cold

    If Simpson gets 3 BPs that will just add salt into the wounds of me having Raylor.

    Plus playing Krul over Vorm (favouring the home team) could also cost me!

      They might not have kept a CS with Raylor, who knows 😉

      Really hard to tell on the replays - even the slightest touch and he gets the assist, so he'll probably keep it.

      I watched the match but can't remember the players involved. Someone shot from the left, Szczesny parried it into the path of a second someone who headed it across goal to Silva who tapped in. Is Aguero that second someone? He got a huge touch.

        * memory may be hazy as I was in the position of not actually wanting the ball to go in
