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

    Anyone know which player has scored in the most consecutive premier league matches?
    I hear Sahko is at 5.

      Wiki says Most consecutive Premier League matches scored in: 10, Ruud van Nistelrooy (for Manchester United, 22 March 2003 to 23 August 2003)

      This season?

      If not, I remember Sturridge scored in 7 consecutive matches (9 goals) last season.

    Good Morning DZ 🙂

    Time to indulge in the pleasure of contemplating how to use the 2FTs this week 😈

    Krul | xxx
    Ivan | Bertrand | Chambers | Wisdom | Bruce
    Adm | Sterling | Tadic | Siggy | Marney
    Costa | Kun | Pelle

    Slightly disappointed that I didn't go ahead with Ivan -> Baines last week, esp. after dedicating an entire article to the topic, bit of an irony.

    Still looks a good trade this week with Ivan playing Utd, but then he has Qpr !
    Other than that things seem good there.

    So,
    A) Ivan -> Baines
    B) Upgrade 1/2 of Krul, Marney, Bruce
    C) Any move you fine gents would like to suggest.

    Cheers in advance 🙂

      Money in the bank? I would say A, or Bruce to someone to keep your options open.

      1. Solenya
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Oops forgot to mention that, just a 0.2

  4. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    23 points so far. 399k > 805k

    With only Maria (c) + Fab to come from bench.

    Just curious, is anyone can beat that?

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 9 Years

        It's a relief to know that you are not alone!

      Looks good. How much is Koke?

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

        8.5, tempted to switch him out.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I would, not worth that much. Maybe get Milner or Bellarabi?

  7. Unliklinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I am being senselessly optimistic in thinking that nothing much will happen tonight due to the fact that Monday nighters are universally crap?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Quite the opposite. MNL normally a few goals.

      There's always sense in optimism.

  8. SpaceCadet

    counting on a big adm and man u fail tonight to keep my rank up........0-0 would be perfect

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      1-0 to United...Wisdom Own goal would be perfect

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years

      1. andres
        • 12 Years

        Would have a benching problem in defence tho..

        have only 5.8 itb.....not inclined to take a hit.....hows chambers as an option

    4. Van Klinkert Delarosa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why would you dump him?

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

        wasn't in the team against qpr.....rotation risk I guess

        1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Just resting him for UCL, also he played some international games last week.

          Enrique wouldn't keep him off the squad.

  14. Mr Sarcastic
    • 13 Years

    If you ever have difficult transfer issue to deal with, just hope I'm in the same boat and ask me.
    My logic is pure class 😎

    1. Solenya
      • 12 Years

      Brilliant. Where were you when I bottled Ivan -> Baines.

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

    Milf ownership

    Sterling 52%
    Cesc 52%
    ADM 42%

    Who drops out to finance Kun?

    Or do a straight swap with Costa, with 65% 😯 ownership?

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

      Sterling

    2. andres
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not an easy question... Maybe costa but you will want him back soon so probably you will end up selling one of those mids..

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

        Yeah, ADM fixt look tough compared to Sterling's though.

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

      Keep 1 Chelsea player in the tough fixtures..so I would Suggest Cesc..but Sterling is also not doing much...

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Those ownership levels around your rank are much higher.
      ADM is the highest.

      1. Christina.

      Who are your other 2 strikers? If you are upgrading someone like pelle or welbeck that is an issue in itself.

  16. Rafiki
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So to replace Mata, Eriksen or Barkley or 3rd option??

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

      Eriksen or ramsey

      1. Rafiki
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Can't afford Ramsey, but had Eriksen beginning of season... He looked average vs City, what should I expect from him?

  18. bluetiger

    Morning all,

    Assuming Costa's fit next weekend, any transfers that you'd make to these lot? Seems a waste not to when I've got 2FTs

    Guzan
    Baines / Bertrand / N.Taylor
    ADM / Siggy/ Chadli/ Sterling
    Costa/ Aguero (c)/ Pelle

    Bench: Boyd/ Moore/ Duff

    2FT, £0.9 ITB

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

      Nice team.

      No idea what do do there.

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

        Just seen the news on Costa below, might force my hand. Although I know I'll just end up bringing him back in the following week for QPR

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

          I wouldn't let that bother you. If you sell Costa and buy him back (as long as you can afford it) it makes swapping him in and out in the future much easier.

    2. andres
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moore to chambers?

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

      very good team...I just don't like chadli...

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

        I was nervous about getting him in but to be fair he's been done well for me and has 4 decent fixtures coming up. Think I'll keep him for the next few weeks at least

    4. PaddyPyne
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Guzan to Howard. Everton have a nice run ahead or take a gamble on Costa for Falcoa

    5. BRONALDINHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      This is about the same team as mine 😀
      only difference is I have Fab instead of Sterling, Clyne instead of Bert and Chambers instead of Moore with 0.5 in the bank

  19. nibby
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is it madness to WC to get Aguero ?

    1. nibby

      Depends how bad your team is.
      A hit or 2 should get you Kun if needed.

  20. Think Tank
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Jose Mourinho’s latest fitness report on Diego Costa has not only all but ruled Chelsea’s main striker out of Tuesday’s Champions League game against Maribor but also gives him “very little” chance of playing at Manchester United on Sunday.
    Costa’s ongoing hamstring problem kept him out of Saturday’s trip to Selhurst Park, and led to Mourinho making pointed jibes about how Spain used the 26-year-old for “big games” against Slovakia and Luxembourg “and he came back in a condition where he’s not available for his club”.
    The Chelsea manager said Costa had “little, very little [chance],” of playing against United. “I say Maribor, no chance; Man United, very little – but very little,” he said.
    Costa has defied such expectations before, however, and Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace was Chelsea’s first Premier League match this season in which the Spaniard did not start.
    But Mourinho praised the side for overcoming the absence of a striker already seen as indispensable in a hard-fought game, in which Oscar and Cesc Fabregas scored for Chelsea and both Cesar Azpilicueta and the Palace defender Damien Delaney were sent off.
    “It was good for the group to have an important victory without one player that till this moment has scored so many goals and given us so many points,” Mourinho said.

              Probably. Costa to Pelle (already have Aguero)

  21. CapFive

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Current setup

    Begovic-Foster
    Baines-Ivanovic-Clyne-Bertrand-Moore
    Hazard-Sterling-Sigurdsson-Boyd-Henderson
    Welbeck-Pelle-Diego Costa

    Thinking of doing Hazard -> Fabregas and Costa -> Ageuro.

    Glad and Sad...

    Glad I captained Aguero this past week, although I had the armband on Costa and him as Vice, then changed to Aguero last minute. (can you imagine a Costa cameo for 1 point with Aguero as VC!!!!)
    Sad he missed a penalty.

    Glad Boyd is sitting in the first spot on the bench to come on for Costa - another 8 points. I changed him from last spot to first when I changed (C) to Aguero
    Sad I never switched Ivan to Baines.

    Glad I now hold 1st spot in my money league and have broken 100K with Di Maria still to play.
    Sad that I cannot fit Ivan and Baines into my squad.

    Lady luck has surely smiled on me this week... and it is becoming more and more apparent that FPL needs plenty of it.

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

      Glad Aguero (c) 4 goals
      Sad missed penalty = -12 points

      Glad had Baines
      Sad transferred out Fabregas to Ox because of it

      Glad double Soton defense
      Sad that I considered ditching Clyne to accommodate Tadic instead of Ox.

      Glad Costa missed the game and got Boyd off the bench
      Sad Many Costa (c) Kun (vc)

      Glad went from 600k to 70k in 1 week - overtaking a 80pt advantage in cash league.
      Sad it's not gonna happen every week

    Really want Eriksen n the team next week. 1.1m in the bank, 1FT.

    One of Fabregas , Siggy(-4) and Mane to get the chop.
    Mane has great fixtures and could explode, Fab is consistent and scored last week *facepalm*

    A. Fab>Eriksen. Then Walcott once he's back.
    B. Mane>Eriksen. Expect big things from him, but I'll still have Pelle.

    Eriksen is a BAP magnet, and has great fixtures and on set plays. Thoughts?

    Thanks 🙂

      Bit wary of Eriksen, i'll likely get him for Mata though, seems inconsistent. Maybe I'm biased, had him early and disappointed. Although his fixtures are great, he doesn't have pens

        Yeah, he was disappointing earlier, I had lamela myself. But now he's in the hole. And Spurs ate good against weaker teams.

    QPR Vs LIV, funniest game ever?

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

      I guess for a neutral, luckily we (LFC) didn't let in 5-6 goals.. That first half... Rodgers doing some very weird tactical things this year.. already lost us 6points+ in the league

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

      er... no...

      but balotelli's "greatest hits" may be the funniest 16 million ever... think this has actually trumped how bad liverpool's transfers for carroll and downing worked out combined

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

        Nah, once he gets a goal and some confidence he'll be good, had a couple of excellent passes today and has been good in some of the other games, specially Tottenham-game where he played with Sturridge

      2. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Nope.

        We just need to change into 2 forward system.

        Goals will come, right now just need to keep on getting points.

    UCL Fantasy.

    Who is the better option on paper?

    A) Koke (8 pts)
    B) Gerrard (10 pts)
    C) Modric (7 pts)
    D) Carzola (4 pts)
    E) Kagawa (6 pts)
    F) Pogba (5 pts)
    G) Sterling (3 pts)

    Cheers. 😀

    1. Rafiki
      • 13 Years

      Modders

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

      D

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cazorla.

  27. Shifty

    Bardsley > Vlaar
    Sterling > Sanchez

    How do the above transfers sound? For free.

    Sanchez would be placeholder and moneybank for Walcott.

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

      I guess if you don't have any other transfers to do.. Sterling could easily outscore Sanchez the next gameweeks though

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

        Thanks, yea no real pressing transfers except Bardsley. Just want to get on Sanchez' wave of form. Maybe will just hold off and get Walcott in when ready.

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

      Looks good. Would get Chambers over Vlaar though. If you want a Villa defender get Hutton,

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

        Already have Chambers. Yup either Hutton or Vlaar - just like Villa's fixtures and hopefully they go back to being the tight unit they were at start of season.

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

          Would get Hutton then. Both are nailed and Hutton is cheaper.

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

      sounds hunky dory fine

      Sanchez is a good call with low ownership because he is still over-priced a bit... should help you move up

      Chambers might be worth a consideration instead of Vlaar, but Vlaar's all right

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

        Cheers HoH. Have Chambers already. I'm 0.1 short of doing Sterling > Sanchez straight...frustrating! Still feel he's abit overpriced that being said.

        Sterling got some good reviews, but he wasn't that good yesterday imo. Lost the ball and misplaced many passes - though as usual very willing to take defenders on...which is good from fpl perspective right?

        That said, Sanchez was running at defenders for fun too.

    Steven Taylor 3.9 going to be regular srtarter?

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

      Doubt it. He only played because Williamson was flagged I believe.

    Costa,Ivan ➡ Aguero,Bertrand for free.

    Yay or Nay?
    Also would it be wiser to get Wisdom+1.3m over Bertrand as I already have Clyne?

    My current team is
    Ivanovic Bertrand Colocinni Lovren Bruce
    ADM siggy Fab Sterling Boyd
    Pelle Costa Ulloa

    Wildcard or
    Costa> Aguero?
