The Big Numbers – Gameweek 8

With West Brom and Man United set to see out the Gameweek tomorrow, we delve into the data from the nine matches played so far. Unsurprisingly, Man City, Southampton and West Ham’s in-form front men are on this evening’s agenda, whilst we also cast an eye over a couple of improving north London-based midfielders.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Who is Robinson and how much does he coat?

      1. Iamjack
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        4.8 m striker

          No choice but to downgrade one of Cesc, ADM or Sterling if you really want him.

    2. dush64

      Cesc/Sterling --> 4.4, Robinson --> Pelle

    Have de gea and begovic.which one to do?

    A.de gea>lloris
    B.de gea>forster
    C.begovic>other goalkeeper.
    ITB currently have 3.5.

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Too much to spend on your GKs.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A. Change Bego to cheapy when required.

      Definitely wouldn't bring in Forster given how bad his fixtures turn in a few weeks. If you're transferring in a new gk you at least want decent fixtures until your January WC.

      Lloris is a better bet, even with Spurs' less than impressive defense.

      1. apeng^d maria

        Thanks a lot mate.now i can make a decision

  3. Holmes

    Can Di Maria score atleast 3pts? 😐

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I am hoping for a Baggies clean sheet (have Foster in goal)

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        0-0 will do 😛 Need 3pts from Maria and I will reach 100pts 🙂

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Fingers crossed then, if that happens I should be on 109 🙂

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Nice! You can take 1BP for Foster too 😉

            1. Rasping Drive
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I like the way you're thinking!

  4. Sol
    • 9 Years

    any news for costa? should we sell em and get Pelle (got aguro and welbz already) or wait ?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Wait.

      1. Sol

        What do you think of my team for W9

        Baines , Hutton, Wisdom ( sub Wilson, Duff)
        ADM, Feb, Siggy, Stirlling sub (El ahmadi 4.4)
        Costa Welbz Aguero.

        thanks in advance for any reply.

  5. Koflok
    • 11 Years

    I think this is the first time I go over 100pts in a non-DGW week.

    1. Koflok
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Unless di Maria score a minus point tonight.

    2. The Sarjeant
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm on 96 with Wisdom left to play, don't think I'll make it.

  6. mipola
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Moya will start for Atletico Madrid in CL?

  7. Shifty
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero's scoring record vs Spurs made me give him the armband in GW8.

    Let's see how he's fared against West Ham, shall we?

    Games played: 5
    Goals: 4 (1H, 3A)
    Assists: 2 (both away)

    2013/14 season

    WHU vs MCI - 1:3 (Aguero 82min, 2 goals 1 assist)
    MCI vs WHU - 2:0 (Aguero 90min)

  8. The Sarjeant
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What's the deal with Costa then? Keep or ship?

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sell the rogue and be done with it

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would keep at the moment- You have a decent team - with Aguero.
      .
      The only reason to ship , without further news , would be to get Aguero in ?

  9. Trading Bear
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Defence Tactics Change:

    With Baines now having fixtures and forms and Chelsea having potential-profitably home games, owning both Baines and Ivanovic soon is enticing. Big teams traditionally start to tighten up at the back, with the relegation-threatened teams starting to open up under pressure to score more goals.

    What changes have you made since the start of the season?

    Start: 5.0 // 4.5 // 4.5 // 4.5 // 4.0
    Current: Baines, Bertrand and Clyne // 4.0 // 4.0
    Soon: Baines // Ivanovic // 4.0 // 4.0 // 4.0

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      too much in def, and in Dec you will be in big trouble with Baines // Ivanovic // 4.0 // 4.0 // 4.0

      1. ver_sparda
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        +1

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Clyne and Bertrand can do better than Ivan and 4.0

  10. Jacques The Lad
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Looking to ditch siggy after week 9, I'm thinking Barkley may be a better option than chadli. Anything I'm missing?

  11. Iamjack
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    ok. whom to ditch to get pelle ?

    adm.cesc .sterling

    leaning towards sterling

    1. Slifer90
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling 100%. Liverpool are far less of a threat going forward without Sturridge plus Sterling isn't guaranteed to play full games with being in the CL.

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Personally I'd keep all 3

  12. ver_sparda
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A)Azpi+Siggy>Tadic+Luis
    B)Azpi->Kompany
    C) Save FT

    Already got Clyne and Pelle.

  13. The Sarjeant
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone got any suggestions for my team?

    Begovic Gilks
    Cahill Clyne Chambers Tomkins Wisdom
    Fabregas Sterling Tadic Sigurdsson Marney
    Costa Aguero Welbeck

    1 transfer, 0 in the bank.

    1. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Might not be a popular transfer, but Bego > Guzan.

      1. Ninja Skrtels
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        considering Bego -> Guzan myself

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would save .

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Save

    4. The Sarjeant
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks for the opinions.

    5. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Save

  14. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    With Foster and ADM tonight - Best to hope for no ADM involvement and a 0-0 I guess ?

    Seems so many in top 10k have ADM C or VC ( Smarty Pants post last night)

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You still want him to score. I don't have adm and I'm not the only one. I'd guess the percentage of those with him as captain is low.

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Saw a post last night from Smarty Pants that indicated very high percentage of C and VC in the top 10k though.
        Ah well - will enjoy the game whatever.

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I agree. For those lucky enough to be in the top 10k such as ourselves, we (or at least I) wouldn't want ADM to go crazy.

          Those less ranked would I guess.

          1. Scoredelario
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I'm sure it is less than 50%

            1. Scoredelario
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Actually I suppose the question is the % of non owners vs captainers... I'd still be surprised if there are more captainers but could be wrong

            2. Debauchy
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Dont recall - but was pretty high . Agree with LB - will take 1 assist and no Baps

  15. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Fair play to the bookies. I noted my surprise that they had sanchez with the same odds as welbeck (joint favourite) to score. Not only did they both score, but had similar position up the pitch, and similar attacking stats.

  16. Slifer90
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Just curious, do you all do multiple fantasy teams or just 1?
    And on which website?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      2 for me. ESPN and FPL

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Just 1, except a fantrax draft league with friends

    3. kiwi_pool
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      1. FPL.

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      1

    5. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I do the FiT game but not seriously. This game takes too much time as it is!

    6. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Just FPL

  17. The Sarjeant
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What 3 would you play?

    A) Cahill - mun
    B) Chambers - sun
    C) Clyne - STK
    D) Wisdom - CRY

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A, C, D

    2. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cahill, Clyne, coinflip, probably Wisdom.

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bench Chambers

  18. gers23
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    2 frees and no idea what to do!! 0.3 in bank

    Foster

    Clyne Bertrand Naylor

    Siggy Sterlung Fab Di Maria

    Costa Wellbek Aguero

    Krul Boyd Wisdom Moore

    1. Marknlard
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      That's my team! Only difference is the goalkeepers.

      Don't really know what to do either and I have 2 frees...

  19. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Worth a -8?

    Bego - Gilks
    Baines - Clyne - Pva - Moore - Moreno
    ADM - Sterling - Siggy - Marney - Fab
    Costa - Pelle - Welbeck

    Moreno + Fab + Welbeck to

    Kaboul/Chambers + Chadli + Aguero

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good but not sure abt -8pts. Go for it imo and put armband on Aguero 🙂

      1. Toonzie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        thanks 🙂

    2. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would try to squeeze in Baines somehow. Downgrade Fab and upgrade Clyne perhaps.

      But that team looks pretty solid.

      1. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Oops, reply fail.

        I think I'd try to get Aguero in for -4. Otherwise -8 is worth it.

    Oh boy

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years

        Being one of the "Obertaners" lol

  21. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Would you switch out hazard or costa for ADM in telegraph game....

    Means I get extra points from tomorrow's game but then have adm for tough fixtures. Saying that Costa may be out for a couple more so maybe a no brainer

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Today's game.

      Am in top 200 so important decision

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It's a limited transfer game though so would lose a transfer....

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Top 200, good man. Have played the game a few times but never got the hang of it. Transfers are precious, how about Costa to Falcao?

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks

        Prefer adm to falcao... The questions are

        Will ADM outperform hazard / costa over the next 5 games with him playing 6?

        I think he will... Costa is owned by 60% so dangerous move though if he comes back

    3. Billy Ketsu
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No idea about the Telegraph game or how it works so I couldn't comment. I think there are a few on here who play ( maybe Flynn, Doosra, Jonty and some more ) so maybe you should try to catch them later on when the UK wakes up.

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…

        Thanks

  22. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Should I keep this front three intact? Sakho - Welbeck - Costa

    1. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would get Kun

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Mind figuring out how to fit him into this lot?

        Forster (McCarthy)
        Clyne/Moreno/Chambers/PvA/Clyne
        Silva/Fabregas/Siggy/Hazard/Fabregas
        Sakho/Costa/Welbeck

        2FT, 0.3 ITB

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Hazard to a bench fodder and Sakho to Kun? That work?

          Also, two Fabregases 😉

          1. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Right woops, second Fab is Sterling

          2. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            And it leaves me 1.0 short

            1. Les Bleus
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              In that case, if you're willing to take a hit, Moreno to a 4.5.

              Also, two Clynes? Lol.

              1. Nice to Finally Michu
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Jesus Im not sure whats up with me tonight, second Clyne is meant to be Chambers

                1. Les Bleus
                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  Two Chambers? Lol

                  1. Nice to Finally Michu
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    Nooooo I meant Moore, I meant Moore

                    1. Nice to Finally Michu
                      • 10 Years
                      9 years, 8 months ago

                      I am so tired I think this might be teling me to get to bed finally

        2. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Silva to 4.5 And sahko/Welbeck to Aguero

          1. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Can't afford it 🙁

            1. Puyol Pants Up
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              🙁

        3. MaRooney 5
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          If Costa out for long,
          Silva > Boyd/Obertan,
          Haz/Fab to Chadli
          Sahko > Kun

          I think should be enough

          1. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Hmm definitely one to consider as I could even go for Tadic instead of Chadli

            1. MaRooney 5
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              but Moreno has to go too

          2. MaRooney 5
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            here I mean the opposite (If Costa *no out for long)

  23. Billy Gilmore

        Not quite with Jagielka, but he was third most likely at 95.1%

        All the fallers above 83% bar Blind.

    Need 3 points for di Maria to break a ton now.

    United 1-1 WBA (Wisdom OG, Dorrans) will be ideal. 😉

    And 1 bonus for ADM. 😉

            Uhhm....you own Morone.

            Did you see the goal? My 5month old labrador would have scored it.

            I'm guessing you are buying Kaboul this week?

              must admit I considered Rose, but gave up that idea after City game, Spurs defenders are lol

                  did he watch Kaboul play against Aguero last w/e?
                  as an Aguero-non owner, I want to kick his face, played like an amateur footballer, gave Aguero stupid penalty and so much space.

          Boyd has been about as good going forward as Tiote this season. Got a lucky goal (Adrian was fouled) with his only shot on target for the season #yaya'd

          1. OPTA FPL
            • 12 Years

            solid 2p at least, hoped for cheaky assist. Duff would get 2p max, if he could avoid YC. I never think they could keep CS againts inform WHU

          Right decision IMO. I'm sure the clean sheet was more likely than a Boyd goal, without the benefit of hindsight

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 12 Years

            Exactly

    Afternoon all

    Anything violently wrong with this:

    Azpilicueta ( boo hiss ), Costa and Siggy > Baines, Ramsey and Welbeck for -4 this week.

    That's one banned numbskull, one semi-perma crocked non-bap earner and the declining Siggy to three fit and raring to go hot shots. Caveats applicable of course.

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Siggy should have scored ysterday. Went around keeper. Unlucky to have a "heavy touch" on ball.

      Costa. Ever getting him back? I guess not?

      Arsenal...I'm prob selling my only Arsenal cover...Welbz.

          No, you look above I make your mummy heppy with my cracker.

      2. Billy Ketsu
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I know, I watched the game. He could have scored and had an assist for Ki in the first 10 minutes. But he didn't - heavy touch and then Ki shot straight at Bego. I thought the Swans would go on and win but they rather crumbled against a fairly pedestrian Stoke. Some of the passing from Stoke was dire as well. Nzonzi passed the ball out of play about a yard behind the guy he was aiming for a couple of times. Terrible.
        I love Siggy as much as the next man but Swansea seem to be on the slide and apart from the first 10-15 minutes he was a peripheral player yesterday.

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It's the home games you want him for. Swans are looking pretty poor away from home this season.

          1. Billy Ketsu
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            That's the thing putting me off selling him - leaky Leicester next, three bad games and then a great run of 4 homes in six, all against fairly average defences. Plus there's the stretch of gws 13-15 all in the same week. Bound to be rotation among the bigger clubs with European fixtures before and after as well. Siggy should be nailed on to play all three, barring injury.

      I'm keeping the semi perma crocked non bap earner. Nice description. 🙂

    I have an autosubbed Wisdom to play tonight. Everyone else has big vice captains, autosubs and Di Maria/Falcao to come.

    Massive red arrow incoming.

        anyway anyone know that film name?

    Calling Diego Costa...Darren Bent fell to 4.7 from 4.8 last night.The same fate will befall you as well matey unless you start offering up a hat-full of assists and some decent bonus. Just scoring goals sometimes isn't quite enough.

    You have been warned Senor.

    Guys, I'm a Southampton fan and while tadic and pelle are definitely good picks, lets not get carried away dissecting your teams to get them as I've seen some suggest.

    That 8-0 won't happen again! Wait for this .. Sunderland were actually arguably the better team first half.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It was a freak result.

      But people want Aguero now. So, Tadic has become a great enabler to the Aguero route.

      But I think Mane will outscore Tadic in the coming weeks. *Bitter Mane owner 😡

      1. MaRooney 5
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        or Baines

      2. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Indeed. I'm actually keeping faith with the even cheaper downing, and going for Baines and Coleman. They are pretty much midfielders anyway but with the bonus of the occassional clean sheet.
