The Big Numbers – Gameweek Twenty Three

With the Gameweek settled and the Reebok woodwork still reverberating from the efforts of a luckless Robin Van Persie, it’s time for our Members to soak up a selection of key stats from our Opta data. As usual, we’ve also thrown in our take on how the Fantasy Premier League bonus could pan out…

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

    I seem to have a far lower team value than everyone on here, despite keeping a regular eye out for price rises etc. Currently 105.5m and ranked 43,953. Maybe it's time I started taking more hits!

        True. Not making much this week though - are you? Hoping for a BAE & Mclean rise, and perhaps a double rise for Sess (yeah right) before I offload them all. Otherwise, not much happening.

          Yup that's about it methinks.

          Sess, McClean, Dempsey, Valencia, BAE, RVP, Simpson for another rise.

            Yeah I have all of them except Valencia, and I don't really fancy him with Nani/Young coming back and MUN's fixtures. Reckon I'll only be keeping Dempsey, RVP and Simpson!

      Bombing up the wing the whole game, commentators loved it. Only issue is, he doesn't seem to have brought any solidity to the QPR defence... so don't rely on clean sheets just yet (might improve when he and Onuoha settle, though). I'm taking a punt solely on attacking returns though.

        Completely agree, but I can't afford him using this strategy (would need to sacrifice Sess who I really want to keep). Hence why I am looking until after the Spurs game, during which time Zamora offers the opportunity of some points over the short term.

      JEvans baps, seriously? Any for Valencia?

      I did Cahill>JEvans and Mata>Valencia for an 8pt hit last week and the return has already put me in credit. Baps on top is just awesome. Points hits rarely work out for me so this makes a refreshing change 🙂

      Not really.

      I'm getting over 60-65 pretty much every week, so as long as that stays the same, I'll be near the top 100.

    Been away for a few days so apologies if this has been done to death already but did anyone have problems accessing the website on Tuesday night? I went in just before 7 to take Rooney out but couldn't get in until after the deadline. I was going to bring in Aguero so no major damage done but wasn't impressed at the time!

    Since I mentioned him should I bring Aguero in this week or double up on Man City defence? Didn't see the game on Tuesday but by the reports Aguero didn't do much?
