The Big Numbers – Gameweek 2

As another Gameweek edges towards its conclusion, we handpick the standout statistics over Saturday and Sunday’s nine Premier League fixtures. Andre Villas-Boas’ shift to 4-3-3 brings a Tottenham new boy onto our radar, a certain Saints frontman catches our attention, City’s midfield schemer offers goal promise, while a trio of Everton’s assets also make the cut:

      Very dangerous the other day, his finishing was quite poor though. Hit 2 efforts straight at Stockdale, disappointing as I had him as captain.

      Sturr is a good shout. But u can have him next week. Just degrade Haz to someone this week, not sure about sinclair. Haz might drop today. N keep eye on Sturr, he might rise.

    my current geam for GW3:

    Marshall
    Zabaleta - TurnerM - Ward
    Walcott (C) - Mirallas - Snodgrass - Kim
    Soldado - Giroud (VC) - Sturridge

    Mignolet - Mertesacker - Clyne - Hazard

    bank: 0.5 mln

    Hazard to Silva was a draft plan, but actually Kim impressed me vs City, so I am more and more into playing him vs Everton. It would let me save a transfer and have 2 FTs after international break, which could be very useful.

    Thoughts?

        Problem with his front line (and I said it last week before he smashed out about 200 points πŸ˜† ) is that there's not much flexibility for the likes if Sturridge, Soldado etc.

        Maybe he'll bring in Campbell πŸ˜‰

    Necessary Repost

    Hey Everyone! How's it going?

    For the one's saying Juan Mata will be sold to United or Spurs or Pool or Arsenal or anyone for that matter, I have a few things to say

    1- Get a grip. He wont be sold
    2- He was our Player of the Season for 2 consecutive seasons. Mourinho won't sell him
    3- Just because Willian has signed does not make him surplus to requirements
    4- Two banks of the 3 attacking midfielders now. Mata and Oscar are gonna be vying for the #10
    5-Willian played left for Shakhtar and influenced the game from there so wont play #10
    6- FPL no go, but you already knew that

    Cheers. Enjoy the game tonight
