With Gameweek 1 concluded, it’s time to delve a little deeper into the data in our first “Big Numbers” article for members of the campaign. We analyse the display of Arsenal’s new wide man against Palace, the QPR front pairing at home to Hull, Liverpool’s ever-improving youngster, Southampton’s delivery under Ronald Koeman and United’s weekend scorer in the 2-1 home loss to Swansea.
In light of Giroud playing 90 mins tonight, is Giroud -> Bony for free a good transfer this gw?
Open Controls
Very good...top transfer this week imo along with Remy...
Open Controls
If u have siggy then does it change or double up on swanse duo??
Open Controls
Not with their upcoming two fixtures I don't think. Can reassess afterwards if you want to keep or shift.
Open ControlsWhat if i'm on WC??
Open Controls
Bony most likely to score with pretty easy fixture but Burnley is a hard working defensive team! Remy on the otherside is playing against Spurs, probably one of the best defensive teams in the league this year 🙂
Open Controls
This!!
Open Controls
Not a bad move. Doesn't look sharp at all. Adebayor another option. I'd probably go Jekkoh
Open Controls
Final post!
a) Baines and 4.5
b) Jags and Clichy (-4)Open Controls
Why an Everton defender? Conceded two against Leicester
Open Controls
hmmm, didn't want to take a hit but now am considering a -8. funny old game this..
...................Begovic
......Kolarov - Azpi - Chambers
Fabregas - Yaya - Ramsey - Young
........Jelly - Rooney - Costa
Gilks - Marney - Hutton - Baird
Yaya + Azpi + Young > Hazard + Rangel + Siggy too knee jerky? feels like it with Chelsea v Leicester this weekend
maybe I'll just do Yaya + Young > Mata/Silva + Siggy..but would feel scared to not have City even if it's Liverpool next..Open Controls
how about Jelavic - Berahino, Young - Siggy?
Open Controls
As nailed as one can be. That said, Hull have a Thursday night game so they should be knackered for the weekend.
Open Controls
Considering starting Blackett ahead of him. 😯
Open ControlsI feel very confident that Hull will concede this week. I would pick Blackett over Chester if I had that decision to make.
Open Controls
Yes
Open Controls
is Dummet nailed on till Santon comes back from injury?
Open Controls
Filipe Luis owners. What are you thinking of doing? Wait and see if he starts this weekend? He might make a 1 minute cameo and he price is going to drop like a stone. Surely Mou going with Azpi and Ivan shows they'll be his first choice for at least the first few weeks?
Open ControlsCameo doubtful. Would be surprised if he didn't start. If not home to Leicester then when? Surely didn't buy their one dedicated LB just to sit on the bench.
This is what I'm hoping anyway 😀Open ControlsWaiting to see what happens this weekend. If he doesn't play I might just drop him for a cheaper defender and work on getting Aguero in
Open Controls
DDG (Krul)
ShawX, Terry, Debuchy (Wisdom, Moore)
Hazard, Ramsey, Mata, Henderson (4.5)
Bojan, Diego Costa, Rooney
A) ShawX>Lovren or a southampton defender thinking Yoshida
B) Bojan> Berahino (Not to sure I like it but i can give bojan another week)
C) Your opinions?Open Controls
Should i get rid of C Davies for Chester just for his increase?
Open ControlsWho is the most nailed on chelse def?? Cahill??
Open Controls
What is the consensus on Man United's acquisition of Rojo? Personally I don't rate him. He played well as left back/left wingback for Argentina, but has struggled to maintain consistent form in previous seasons. I've watched him play as cb and haven't been convinced he any better than Jonew/Evans and don't get the logic in paying nearly £50m on two left backs?
Open Controls
Sterling 100% going to rise tonight?
Open ControlsJust did Dzeko -> Berahino
Young -> Sterling
Was 0.5 of keeping Dzeko in team.Open ControlsI think that Azpilicueta is nailed. I think that the only reason he played LB against Burnley is because Luis wasn't ready and that when he is, Azpi will go to RB and Ivan/Terry/Cahill will fight for the CB spots.
Open ControlsMeh. Very happy I decided to go without a Chelsea defender and spread the money around a little bit more. It's all too uncertain there for me at the moment and while you may well be correct it's just an educated guess and nothing more. We really won't know who he prefers until UCL starts up in full swing.
Open Controlsnoone is safe.
Open ControlsI think you're right about Azpi. Mo loves him. Don't like him as an option at that price though. Rarely crosses the halfway-line, and if I'm spending that much I want goal-threat.
Open Controls
Is there any good reason other than form and price rise/fall for me to do Mata -> Sterling?
I know Mata has good fixtures, but i also have Rooney and Young.
Help please.Open ControlsSterling a potential season keeper for me. Itching to get him in.
Open Controls
Hi Natt. I think I'd do that even though Mata may outscore Sterling in the next two weeks. Sterling's development over the past couple of years has been very impressive and it seems he'll only get better.
Open Controls
Right really not sure what to do but feel I need Fabregas in before he rises, then I keep telling myself I don't, please help?
................Courtois-Myhill
Bruce-Haidara-Debuchy-Jones-Wisdom
..Sig-Eriksen-Mutch-Ramsey-Sterling
...........Giroud-Costa-Rooney
Was thinking either
A} Jones and Eriksen out to Chester and Fab - 4 point hit
B} Mutch and Giroud out for Fab and Cole - 4 point hit
C} Giroud and Eriksen out for Pelle and Fab - 4 point hit
D} Giroud to Dzeko
E} Stick
Any help would be appreciatedOpen ControlsJust did Mata to Fab. Very kneejerky, but will pick Mata up again next week if he plays well at a cheaper price. Really want to boost my TV early on in the season, plus Chelsea looked so good on Monday. Could really tear Leicester a new one this weekend.
Open ControlsReally can't fault it, although I hope it goes terribly wrong as I have decided to keep Mata and reassess after another game 🙂
Open ControlsWavering is my best quality. Literally just put in Sterling for Mata on the transfer page just to see how it looked. Might not make it the night...already on beer #4 as well, all signs point to a transfer tonight for me. Eek.
Open ControlsWell just do it then. Don't let him rise before you do!
Open ControlsWould give me Sterling and Sturridge for the City game though. One GW only as next week Sturridge turns into Aguero. Just don't know if it's smart. Really think it's dumb but I do love Sterling. My last decision I was wavering between was Arnie and Studge vs Dzeko and Sterling before GW1..
Open ControlsWell good news then. Transfer done. What a sheep I am, oh well!
Open Controls
Is Eriksen to Siggy & Cahill to Chester worth it to afford Aguero?
Open Controls
1 FT
A) Lovren>Clyne
B) Henderson>Sig
C) Both
D) Hazard/Sterling/Ramsey for FabOpen Controls
Krul Foster
Cahill PVA Chester NTaylor Hutton
Mata Fabregas Siggy Ramsey Marney
Dzeko Costa Rooney
Use FT for Mata -> Sterling before price changes? Or save it?Open ControlsSterling would be a good pick up in a couple of weeks, looking at Liverpool's next fixtures.
Open Controls
How would this look in three weeks?
Krul / Foster
Wisdom Jones Debuchy Moore Bruce
Sterling Siggy De-jong(Fit) Ramsey (Marney)
Costa Rooney Augero
What do you guys think? might be planning thisOpen ControlsWould have preferred Tadic to de jong, but can't find that 0.5
Open ControlsJones and Bruce both rotation risk. Forwards look exceptional.
Open ControlsI agree on Bruce, but Jones? I think he is the most nailed on.. am I missing something?
Open Controls
Don't think Aguero, Costa or De Jong will be worth it with the big midfielders firing. Not too crazy about the defense either.
Open ControlsDefence is weak I agree, but top three looks awesome, at least on paper lol
Open Controls
I don't know the numbers but I imagine taking a hit will cost between 50,000-100,000 places on OR. Just a thought.
Open Controls*in
Open ControlsCan't wait for the green arrow beginning of gameweek two then. Unless I go wild before Saturday haha
Open ControlsDoesn't matter whatsoever as long as you reckon the hit will will help in the long run.
I calculated last time around and hits made me more than 50 points over the seasonOpen Controls
Slow internet stopped me actually doing Beraniho and Sterling in for Dzeko and Young
Now i'm thinking Eriksen to Sterling hmmm. What say?Open Controls
Is Tadic ready to produce the fpl points?
West Brom at home is a very, very kind fixture for Southampton this week.Open ControlsYeah I can really see a lot points in that game for Southampton.
Open ControlsLooked to me like a player who will rely heavily on assists for FPL returns to me but would feel a lot more comfortable owning him if we knew he had penos in his locker which I guess is still up for debate. Wouldn't fault anyone bringing him in this week though as he has that great fixture as well as a kind run of fixtures in general and will likely free up money for your next move.
Open ControlsTrying to decide between Tadic and Eriksen for this week.
Eriksen is a proven player in the premier league, but I wasn't inspired by Spurs performance last weekend.Open Controls
Hasn't he already got an assist to his name?
Open ControlsYes, he does. He looks to be a high quality player, just don't want to fall into a trap eyeing up his nice run of fixtures.
Southampton won't be prolific this season in front of goal I reckon.Open ControlsWell, I've got Davis, I went top heavy. But if I could I'd happily have Tadic instead.
Open Controls
Southampton looked good for attacking returns. Really should've equalized. Take a chance with him imo
Open ControlsDitto. Worthy punt. Sthmptn will take time to gel, but fixxies are ridiculously kind and he looks a player.
Open Controls
Sigh. I've been ranting and raving about keeping Mata over Sterling for the past couple of days, but as the clock counts down on the price changes I'm growing more and more tempted to do it tonight. I can always drop Ramsey if I want to get Mata back in for the stretch vs. promoted teams... right?
Open ControlsSomething about Pelle is really drawing him to me this weekend. WBA looked so poor and the guy seems to have a nose for a goal.
Open ControlsI think he will come good. He looked very clever to me in the box and I think he will just improve more and more week after week. He also looks like he will get a handful of goals on set pieces as he has JWP providing excellent service to him and he seemed to get into good positions in the Pool game.
Open ControlsYeah I watched him very closely in the pool game. I was very impressed. Good at linking up the play and looked very capable at this level. Picked up a lot of nice positions and always looks to give the ball off quickly and get into the box. Reminded me of RvN a bit.
Open Controls
What do people think of Jovetic's chances of starting now? Nil?
Open Controls
Who has Yaya Toure in their team? I need to know I'm not alone...
Open ControlsHe had the season of his life last year, but sadly I don't think he'll quite reach that height this year. Believe me, he'll be solid, but maybe not worth £11.0m.
Open ControlsBut to answer your question, I had him in my team up until a couple days before GW1 started and dropped him then for Hazard.
Open Controls
Sterlin or Giroud Who will score more??
Open ControlsDo they give points for missing chances now??
