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

    Why is everyone ditching sterling? Am I missing something?

    1. Mojo Rojo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      For me... funds for Baines

    2. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Without Studge he's not getting the points some people hoped for.

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

      People want Kun and Welbeck, and prefer drop him instead ADM/Fab...

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

        Baines*

    4. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No idea. Very foolish if you ask me.

    5. potatoace

      not that i agree with ditching him, but ballo is suffocating him.

    6. Bøwstring The Carp

      9 years, 8 months ago

      Next 7 look tasty bar Chelsea obviously 😉

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

      For getting in Baines or Aguero most probably.. Of the template midfield I guess he's showing the least.

    8. PMC3
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      4th top scoring mid, just two points behind Fabregas and looking good. I don't get it myself.

    9. halnone
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      no clue. just transfered him in this week!

  2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with my itchy trigger fingers? 1 ft, no money

    Krul, Guzan
    Ivan, JT, Dier, Kolarov, Wisdom
    Fab, Sterling, Downing, Schneiderlin, Ziggy
    Aguero, Welbeck, Pelle

    Would like: Baines, Walcott in a few weeks with intermediate Ramsey, cash to have the option to change Welbz and Pelle to Costa/Roo and Berahino/Sakho, loose Dier(but fixtures say no).

    Rather not: loose Chelsea defender(seems to screw me)

  3. Rambo Motin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I can get Aguero in doing Welbeck , Fab , Ivan > Kun , Chadli , Jags/Bertrand for a -8

    worth it?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not at all

      1. Rambo Motin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        How do I get Kun in then

    2. Birthday Sess
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't lose fabregas personally

      1. Rambo Motin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Krul
        Clyne Ivan Baines
        Fab Sterling Di Maria Siggy
        Costa Kun Welbeck

        1. Voice of the Mysterons
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          You cannot afford that team

  4. joe259
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Chadli or Henderson or Tadic?

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

      Chad

    2. MC Hammer
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      tadic will get more opportunity than the other two atm

  5. Fantasy Gold
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What would you do with 2 FTs here? 3m itb.

    Begovic McCarthy
    Baines Moreno Clyne Naylor Moore
    Sterling Siggy Fabregas Tadic Boyd
    Costa Dzeko Pelle

    1. Left Peg
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moreno to a £4.5m defender then Dzeko to Aguero?

      1. Birthday Sess
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah that's what I've been thinking.

        Was also tempted by Fab > Eriksen to fund it.

        Tough decision.

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

      Moreno to Chambers

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Annoying thing is Aguero's rise last night made my two top 4.5 picks (chambers and dawson) unaffordable by 0.1

        Grrr

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          get hutton instead.

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

          so Wisdom/Duff/Hutton

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            thanks all

  6. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Any suggestions? I am really stuck this week.

    Forster/4.0
    Moreno Wilson Clyne Duff Hutton
    Fab Sterling ADM Siggy Boyd
    Aguero DCost Pelle

    2FT's 0.1 ITB...

    Thanks

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moreno > Vlaar

      Save the other to upgrade where necessary next week

    2. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

    8. white lightning

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

    Costa to Kun? (I have spare cash)

    or Ulloa, Sterling,Terry > Wilson, Diame, Kun for -8 ?

    (or relax my knees)

  9. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    More or less the current template

    Cesc Sterling Siggy ADM

    Possible template

    Sanchez Eriksen Tadic Hazard...

    My son has the first one and is battering me...great picks...Should I go for the second one ?

    1. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I personally prefer the second one, and will have something similar from next week.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It looks like a right good match up...I think i'll go for it.

        1. SW6
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I'm going to spend all week trying to decide between Sanchez and Eriksen.

        2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No ... Oscar ...

          1. SW6
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Ooo I also am liking Oscar at the moment. Want to monitor him a bit longer though.

          2. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Aye..he's getting a bit scary Doosra...Thing is, I've had Hazard for just about every games he's played for over two years...I feel naked without him.

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

      Barkely ?

  10. Hammers Select
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Get rid of Ulloa for a hit?

    Yes or No?

    Replacement for a -4

    A) Berahino
    B) Sadko
    C) Naismith
    D) Fletcher

    1. 32chickens
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      yes
      a or b

  11. Birthday Sess
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Would you do these moves?

    Ivan, Moreno, Welbeck > Aguero, Jags, Dummett (-8)

    Don't like taking hits but I feel this needs to be done to get Aguero and I have the exact funds.

    Also, is Jags rising tonight? Thanks

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Check fplstatistics for pricechanges, they are closest to the truth

      1. Birthday Sess
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Seems to be the consensus on here!

    2. deathorglory
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd def want to keep Ivan and Wellbeck, is there no other way you can do it?

      Maybe swap out Costa for a few weeks?

      1. Birthday Sess
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes I could do a straight swap but last time I did this, Costa scored twice. Wish Mourinho would just man up and say it as it is.

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

    Id ask this week again. Wouldve got 30 points more if i pulled the trigger

    Costa vazte pva --> Pelle welbeck coleman (-4)

    Yes or No ??

    1. white lightning
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hard luck bro. I always like taking a risk because after all it's fun.

  13. VougieDipond
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/755375/

    Hazard unlucky to just be walking away with 3 points. His time will come

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Did you know Mourinho has asked him to stop tracking back so much ?...

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

        It was in the Gnev wasn't it? I did read it. Another reason to hold

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

          Gnev?

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

            Gary Neville interviewed Jose for either Guardian/Telegraph

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

              Cool. Thanks

        2. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Not sure what the Gnev is..but if it was the same interview then it made for a good read.

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

      Is what they say every week.

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

        Returned against Arsenal. Man U, QPR next 2 and he isn't much worse off than any other mids overall

      2. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He's currently seventh whilst playing a bit thin by his standards, but he'll just keep producing...He's only seven pts behind the highest scoring mid, do you think he can make that up ?..I do...

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

          Got him and keeping him ....season keeper

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

          I do easy. Underlying stats are there like mr Tadic just needs the right game

    3. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah explosion imminent.

  14. deathorglory
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with Azpi? I'm tempted to keep as I think he is well worth the price but my replacement defenders fixtures aren't great next 2 GW.

    Howard (Green)
    Azpilicueta Chambers Bertrand (Chester Hutton)
    Fábregas Tadic Sigurdsson Sterling (Boyd)
    Pellè Costa Agüero

    Maybe Apil to Jagielka? Only got 0.1m in bank, would obv rather Bains or Coleman. Can't see much other options for 6.1 or less. I do have a little Everton defensive cover in Howard so would be open to suggestions from other teams. Any advice?

    1. Birthday Sess
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tough one. There doesn't seem to be much value in that price range apart from Southampton and Everton and you have some cover there already. I'd save for this week and get a premium defender like baines next week

    2. joe259
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      howard to lloris
      azpili to jagielka

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

        That can't be worth a -4. I only got Howard in this week as well!

    3. VougieDipond
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I made the change to Rose about half an hour ago. I have Baines already. Jags would also be a good pick

    4. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bloody nuisance ain't it,Rose/Kaboul maybe ?

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

        both of thee will probably rise tonight

  15. Mojo Rojo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So lads... 2FTs and enough pocket money in the piggybank to do PvA & Sterling > Baines & Tadic. Would give me:

    Krul
    Baines // Clyne // Wisdom
    AdM // Fab // Sig // Tad
    Costa // Kun // Pelle

    Elliot // Boyd // Hutton // Moore

    Bank = 0

    Go for it? Or too reliant on Southampton and bad idea to ditch Sterling albeit to get Baines?

    1. joe259
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      thought of doing the same thing

  16. PMC3
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I hate Mourinho.

    Silva -> Eriksen and just take the hit if Costa looks to be out?

  17. joe259
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Rate this team guys

    Lloris
    Baines, Clyne, Chambers
    ADM, Fab, Siggy, Henderson
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    Suggestions to improve the team??

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

      Not enough tadic

      1. joe259
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        not enough funds

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

      Walcott or sanchez but how you get there is a different story

    3. MC Hammer
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Henderson to Tadic?

      1. joe259
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        don't have anything in the bank

  18. Evans
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lads

    i want to bring in Barkley but who leaves ?

    Downing,
    Siggy
    Hazard
    Sterling

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

      Downing

    2. Left Peg
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Siggy but wait a week.

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

        Could well be as swans fixtures worsen

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Downing or Siggy after the Leicester game

  19. Ivz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    any chance aguero and tadic will rise again tonight?

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

      not tonight

    2. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Those Siggy numbers make me nervous for captaincy

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Make me nervous as an owner!

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

      What number?

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't

      See who Sarnab is captaining...

  21. Tommyg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Someone on here said that if we only could look at one stat for both forwards and MIDs it would preferable be touches in the box.

    Sterling up there with the best, fabergas isn't. Choice made for me if you wanna release funds.

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

      Hazard 😉

  22. The Governor
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is it literally impossible to get Aguero in, considering people wouldn't lose:

    Di Maria
    Fabregas
    Sterling
    Tadic
    Costa
    Pelle
    Welbeck

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Out of that lot welbeck then fab for me.

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It is literally impossible without losing one of your 3 strikers

    3. halnone
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      most are doing Costa to Aguero

      1. Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Which would be a mistake. Find another route.

    4. oscardo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      People have to sell ivan, or baines also... :p aguero did exactly what I was hoping for this gw... started some seriously chaos for managers!

  23. jfxm
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    2 FTs. 1.2m ITB. What would you do with this team?

    Begovic McCarthy

    Moreno Duff Alderweireld Moore Naylor

    Boyd ADM Sterling Siggy Cesc

    Costa Pelle Falcao

    Was thinking Falcao + Moreno + ADM > Aguero, Tadic/Eriksen, Baines for a -4

    What's the go with Costa? Likely to get up for Man Utd?

      Nobody knows and nobody will know thanks to Mourinho's mind games.

      Doubtful for the Man Utd match, although Maureen is providing zero insight. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/18/chelsea-diego-costa-manchester-united

        Surely we hold regardless?

    Shall I do Sterling & Dzeko -> Henderson & Aguero for a -4 pt hit? I got costa and pelle as my other forwards.

        Thats probaly one of the more sensible ways ive seen on here of people getting Aguero, without the hit would have been decent

          I'm scared of aguero's price increasing further which means that I can't afford him anymore. Should I do it?

      Thoughts on Barkley?

      This is a dirty win by Liverpool. First dirty goal there

        Admittedly Countinho's goal was good.

      Why not a love fest for Coleman? The guy is a fantasy point magnet.

      He's only played 4 games + a cameo 6 minute appearance to start the season. He had an unlucky own goal in the game Everton gave up 6 to the mighty Chelsea, but overall his stats are awesome.

      Week 2 - 1G for 7 pts.
      Week 3 - (the chelsea game) 1A
      Week 4 - CS 6 pts.
      Week 8 - 1G, CS 13 pts.

      So in summary.... 4 games, 2 goals, 1 assist and 2 clean sheets.

      I think he could be a slight differential from all the Baines owners as he will score more goals even though he's not on PK's, all the while picking up the CS's that Baines is getting as well.

      Thoughts on PVA / Caulker / Sterling --> Duff / Baines / Tadic -4

      I will wait to watch the game tomorrow but if the mighty ADM blanks, what do we think of him to Eriksen?
