The Numbers Game – Goals Imminent?

With a nod to community member, “In-Tommy-We-Trust’s” excellent “Explosion Imminent” tables in our members area, this latest article focuses on those players who, over the last four Gameweeks, have been providing a significant goal threat without reward.

We take a look at the top performing individuals who have fired in the most shots without scoring, in an attempt to identify those perhaps most likely to provide imminent goal returns.

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

    Am I correct in thinking that Dawson should be a sure starter for Spurs tomorrow?

    so the key in catching price rises and gaining some cash when WC is you keep the players that you still want in your WC team, and selling those that you dont with the players that you think will rise twice. am i right ?

      You're right. But it's a short game week, so double risers will be rare. you're best bets a fatty and silva who'll probably rise tonight, and hope they score well this week.

    Any thoughts on this WC would be much appreciated!

    Begovic Bunn
    Zabaleta Dawson Davies Shaw Harte
    Mata Walcott Bale Michu Puncheon
    RVP Suarez Fletcher

    Currently got Giroud instead of Fletch but to keep him I'd need to downgrade Puncheon, Zabaleta or Dawson by 0.3. Any of them worth it?

  9. Over LAN and C:\
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Current WC draft:

    Begovic, (Federici)
    Evra, Zabaleta, Gibbs, (Davies), (O'Brien)
    Mata, Walcott, Fellaini, Bale, Michu
    Van Persie, Fletcher, (Pogrebnyak)

    The "plan" is then to swap Fletcher for Sturridge/Suarez in GW26 for the double and downgrading whichever of my mids is looking least productive to fund it.

    Silva feels a better option than Bale and covers for a lack of city strikers, but never know when Bale might explode and Norwich are rather leaky atm.

    Any thoughts much appreciated.
