The Big Numbers – Gameweek 16

A number of midfielders are placed under the spotlight, with Arsenal, City, Chelsea and Liverpool all serving up some strong statistics. The performance of United’s frontmen at Villa and Tottenham’s inability to find the net under the now-departed Andre Boas-Villa also come under analysis as we delve into the data.

    Oh dear. It would appear I've done a vodka and tonic 8 pointer during the night

    Aguero, Özil & Barkley > Lukaku, Silva and Walcott

        It could work. Ozil to Walcott a bit sideways. But i would rather have Walcott and Silva over Ozil and Barkely so you have a better team now.

    I may be over obsessive on this issue but then again I have some comments on watchlist factors. As Aguero is not in forward list, I assume that it is updated following GW16.

    Yet; the season ticker advice that City, Liverpool and United have 2nd, 9th and 11th favorable fixtures respectively. However watchlist suggest Suarez has unfavorable, Rooney has favorable fixtures and Negredo has no sign. Isn't it incoherent?

    P.S: Repost as last post in previous page

          I don't think it's an exact science. The watchlist comprises all sorts of different factors, the codes are just rough indicators of the kind of thinking that's going into it.

    I got stuck on the bottom of a page; so I'm re-attempting this before I call it a night:

    I'm committed for this week; but where do I go from here?

    Howard
    Jagielka, Distin, Baker
    Yaya, Walcott, Ramsey, Sterling
    Rooney, Suarez, Negredo

    Myhill, Lovren, Meyler, Fonte

    I'm thinking of dropping Fonte (next week); but I'm open to anything.

        posted this somewhere earlier:

        two PL matches Aguero didn't start:

        Stoke 0 - City 0
        Hart
        Zab Garci Nasty Kolarov
        Yaya Rodwell
        Milner Jovetic Nasri
        Negredo

        Villa 3 - City 2
        Hart
        Zab Kompany Nasty Kolarov
        Milner Fernandinho Yaya Nasri
        Dzeko Negredo

        Seems hard to speculate if they will play with one up front or stick with two. Then it's a question of pick 1/2 from the 3 of Negredo, Dzeko, Jovetic

        Jovetic is just back from injury, and seems like Dzeko has been playing Europe/Cup matches (he started against Bayern, Plzen, & league cup against Newcastle) so I would guess Negredo is top of the list.

        and Negredo also started both the other Champs matches against CSKA (with Aguero) Dzeko did not start

    A Rooney and Mirallas
    B Remy and Wally

    Really want Wally but I'm worried about game-time as he surely won't start all of the next 3-4 games with the small recovery time between matches since he has just returned from injury.

    Remy is also not my ideal pick, but I can't quite make the budget stretch for Negredo without taking a hit to do Walker > Distin

    Mirallas looks good ON PAPER and Rooney should do well, but somehow I have an obsession with getting Wally in

    Mourinho to set Chelsea up uber defensively at the Emirates?

    Probably can't read much into this, but under Mourinho's watch Arsenal have only averaged 1 goal per game in this fixture.... reason enough to delay getting Walcott for a hit?

    Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea
    Arsenal 0-2 Chelsea
    Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea

      You can keep Ramsey for a while.

      How about shifting Kos or Terry?
