The Big Numbers – Gameweek 4

17 September 2013 1694 comments

In Tommy We Trust

With last night’s thriller at the Liberty drawing a line under Gameweek 4, we’ve time to assess the crucial statistics over the fixtures played out. There’s plenty on offer at the Emirates to take note of, while the other side of north London also offers reason for optimism.

Is ward the cheapest mid that will play 75%(give or take) of the time with goal socring threat? I really want a sub 5.0 in that 5th mid spot.

  I'll be honest Wakey, I am struggling to see it being an insane derby. Despite the United goals tonight I really think they're still sorting out their creative issues, at least 2 of the goals came from Bayern being very very dodgy. City have been hit or miss too in the PL. I really can't judge how it'll play out.

        oh yeah...as soon as you switch off from the overall rank thing the game opens up no end...If i get 20pts ahead i think nothing of doing three transfers..In fact it all works better for me when my family league is "tight"..

  Theo and Giroud are better than Ozil.
  
  I own RVP but would rather own Rooney (Its not worth using a transfer at this point)
  
  If you must own such expensive defenders (really? whats wrong with Mert/Sakho) why bother paying for Chester, he wont play over any of those 3.
  
  Conversely, why do pay the extra .5 to get Boruc who can cover Liverpool's bad fixtures.
  
  Oscar over Lamps?

    very interesting points. Theo very frustrating but likely to be in the pts, I just think ozil is so much class and is likely to score more. Just a hunch
    
    I get you, mertesacker was one of my options I was looking at, not too keen on sakho however
    
    Thinking of boruc if I downgrade walker
    
    Lampard is a risk of rotation but surely with defeat to everton play more regularly and less rest?

    Thanks guys, I have literally enough to upgrade Barkley to Moses but leaves me with 0 in the bank, and then potential headaches on whether to rotate him with Ben Arf (Barkley has been on the bench for me so far)...my team is:
    
    Boruc
    Zab, Sakho, Coleman (Turner, Ward)
    Ben Arfa, Walcott, Eriksen, Ozil, (Barkley)
    Giroud, Benteke, Sturridge
