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.

      technology

      it doesnt make life easier, it only increases expectations.

      20 years ago, if you ordered something through the mail, it took a couple weeks, and no one gave a shit. Now everything has to be delivered instantly. From what i recall, the world still ran itself ok 20 years ago, productivity wise, and there weren't so many impatient people, texting on cellulars while driving like madmen.

    Been planning transfers for weeks now...adjusting as the games and form changes things...pretty certain I had my plan set...but doubt crept in so I was wondering if any of you would look at the team and suggest what you would do with it (without me suggesting what I have in mind).

    Here goes:

    Krul / Vorm
    Kompany / Enrique / BAE / Simpson / Naylor
    Silva / Bale / Sess / Dempsey / McClean
    RVP / Ade / Sturridge

    0.6 in the bank

      How much confidence do you have in sturridge? Assuming you want to keep I would trade ade for ba.
      Not that comfortable with 2 mids from Sunderland so could consider getting rid of sess for Valencia?

      keep enrique and bae if you defense can manage if not then dump one and keep the other id say. or could dump both i'll leave that up to you....

      would probably get someone in for naylor as you already have vorm in goal. maybe a punt on taiwo? or evans? would suggest brown but not sure how long he's out for

      mid looks good though i'd lose one of sess and mcclean. alternatively you could double up as both have been playing pretty well.

      ba in for ade and either keep sturridge or maybe get dzeko or someone else... dont know

      option 2 I just thought of while writing this:

      one of enrique and bae to kelly, naylor to evans or taiwo ade to aguero and sturridge to ba if that can be afforded

      then if you wanted you could sell the other out of enrique and bae to a cheapie and bring in valencia for sess

      sorry for rambling but hope this gives you some ideas.....

        Apart from Arsenal (!) all teams are odds-on to concede for GW 24 - however Stoke are one of the shortest-odds teams to keep a cleanie, so Huth wouldn't be too bad a shout. Definitely looks like a 3-defender week, though (as most of them are this season).

      You may wanna see what happens to Zamora first with Cisse starting so well for them...But I understand that both moves are set to fund their replacements...

      You can probably start this yourself and ask people to add.

      To be honest, it depends on your other goalkeeper and who Vorm or Mignolet will match this. You will want fairly compelling reasons to switch given Vorm's stats to date. I see little reason to expect these to be much different for the rest of the season.

      I assume this is a wild-card. Do you have another wild-card to use later?

      I've been looking at that very move and I'm coming to the conclusion that Mignolet isn't that great an option. Since he came back he's only kept clean sheets at home, and in his next 9 games his home games are ARS, LIV, QPR, TOT. They don't sound appealing and I'm thinking again. On the pro side, he is cheap.

      SO JAMMY. The problem is on here we all pay attention to playing time and saw that he had lost his place to Santon so many transferred him out. Unlucky for us, thanks to injuries he not only continues to play but he's OOP. On top of that all the casuals have him simply because he's the highest scoring defender so it rewards the people who don't put the work in. His goal and clean sheet were so lucky last night, Blackburn had a crazy number of shots and missed a pen.

      I had the foresight to get him in at the start of the season then transferred him out a while ago when his starting place was in doubt. My rivals who haven't had him since the start still have him and are thus reaping the jammy rewards. Couldn't be more annoyed about it.
