The Big Numbers – Gameweek 23

Sturridge/Ba

Get Michu for Puncheon, then lower your budget for the striker.

Nope ..... save for DGW which will surely turn up with all this snow !!

Find out on Wed in COne Cup

puncheon for marveaux*

cheers for that good memories

14 goals this season is not bad, not his fault Chelsea paid £50m for him.

😆

😆 😆

Where's the music from at the beginning and end of the clip?

wisdom and naughton are very short term. i would downgrade suarez to sturridge/fletcher and get at least some nailed on players

I'd swap Suarez for either sturridge or fletcher then use the cash to bolster defence

ofcourse

Got rid weeks ago

That time of the year, eh? 😉

You'll regret it, he's gonna score big next week 😉

I'm not missing him 🙂

Looks great but maybe lose one of Berba/fletcher and somehow upgrade for another big hitter, or take a punt on Sturridge for their tough two matches.

Azpi as Arsnal look poor at the back
but then Azpi is a rotation risk when Terry comes back in

arsenal are a bit too shaky at the back
if azpi gets a starting spot then i'd go for him

Bale was unlucky not to score twice today. Would hold on to him.

Yep

What is the Elite 64?

😮

Just joined 1 min ago

late Feb according to the Staffordshire News!

Last I heard Tom Hanks just left him floating in the ocean. I'm still holding on to hope that he'll make it home.

50:50. Worked most of the time this season for me though

Hits have worked out a treat for me so far this season (for the most part). Captains and not having certain players have hurt me.

I did Benteke -> Pod for a hit this GW. It's always a gamble imo

Most highly ranked players don't take many hits. But are they highly ranked cos they don't take hits, or do they not takes hits because they're highly ranked and don't need to?

depends on too many factors to give a percentage success rate. every case is different. if you try to break it down you won't take into account the neccessity of a hit or if it's a silly knee jerk vanity move

Just looking at me this year, killing time before the Pats. Basically, I've taken 7 hits this year, 3 I would say were "good," 2 were neutral, one was bad, one was catastrophic.

Before Week two: I sold Mata and Aguero for Bale and Lambert. It worked pretty well. It took Mata a little while to get going and Lambert got a goal/assist against United.

Before Week three: Sold van der vaart and torres for Ben Arfa and Van Persie. Ka ching. Picked up 4 goals for two players who didn't play this year.

Before week 4: Sold Lescott and Puncheon for Clark and Santi Cazorla. Sort of meh. Puncheon cancelled out Cazorla. Clark outscored Lescott by 5, but I benched him. And the next week Clark got -2 and came off my bench while Lescott got 11.

Before week 13: Sold Tevez and Hoilett for Rooney and Maloney. Meh. Hoilett did nothing, Tevez did nothing, Rooney got an assist. Net even.

Before week 15: Sold Baines, Rooney, and Maloney for Billy Jones, Suarez and Silva. Ouch. Baines got an assist. Rooney scored 5 goals over the next 3 weeks while Suarez scored 2 points over the same span.

Before week 17: Sold Lambert and Sess for Kaca and Aguero. Fail.

Before week 18: Sold Fellaini and Gunter for Punch and Luiz. Luiz's goal made it a success.

Look at the history forvthe top players on this site and you will see they don't take many hits.

Cheers for all replies, interesting views.

With Terry back, Azpi's time may be limited

rvp, aguero, sturridge/fletcher seems popular

Aguero, RVP and Fletcher/Remy

Ba/Fletcher, RVP. Lambert.

suarez to aguero this week. Sturridge gw26

Tough
Id say A because your forwards are grand

Davies, Clyne, Martin ... 🙂

Davies, Demel, Wisdom?

Davies then pick two from Demel, Clyne, Onouha, R.Martin and Pearce.

Davies, Clyne, Demel

Demel or Clyne have a game that you wouldn't mind playing them in, when Davies has a tough one.

Source: My own patched up spreadsheet for the next 10.

looking to bring him in myself next week

Naughton even better value at 4.2 and is playing well

Baines out.

Baines out for sure

Baines is almost certainly going in my WC team with back-to-back home games coming up. So Baines & Fellaini for me

And how can you afford that team!?

I would go with Zabaleta instead of Rafael. Looks good. Mine will look much the same, but with Bale instead of Punch, Sturridge instead of Suarez, and Zabaleta instead of Baines.

get nastasic or azpilicueta instead of baines, i wouldnt be comfortable having Pogrebnyak in my team, pants player in a key position, aguero looked very dangerous in his cameo apperance, if you had a frontline of rvp, aguero, sturridge then that would be very good, thats going to be my frontline when i play my wildcard

it'll even itself out again in the long run

+1

if im ahead and everyone below me has the same team then thats fine by me
