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.

  No. RVP wasteful and has an awful temper, card magnet.

Short Clarification necessary:

For Man United, is Rooney on Free Kicks and RVP on penalties...?

  Free kick depends on which side of the goal it is. Left = Rooney, right = RVP.

As a Gooner I would LOVE IT if RVP and Rooney came to blows on the pitch.

It would be the entertainment event of the year.

Half time talk. I think I found arguments for owning Persie. They are 2 actually. And I think they are sooooo close to a 200 pts season..

Baines and Vert... 7 + 7 m

Both play for good defense (check stats first 4 weeks), goal threat, assist potential, bp magnet, nailed on. What is there not to like...?

  I'd stick it out with that team (you have no specific aches, just kind of a whole body ache), but the key is Hazard as to whether he plays consistently. I have Mert and he sure hasn't kept up with the amazing defensive returns of other players.
