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

    Might need to find a siggy exit route soon after readin this

    1. TD Champ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He was very close to attacking points today, still a brillitant pick

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

      On another day today he could have easily had a goal and assist. Still great value imo

        agreed stats are not everything no substitute to watching the games

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

      I wouldn't. Could well have had a goal and an assist today with a little more composure from both him and Ki.

  2. TD Champ
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    2 ft. 0.1 itb.

    A: Ivan + Ulloa --> Kaboul + Pelle

    B: Ivan ---> Baines

    Can't decide what i want more, Sot'on cover or Baines

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

      Pelle over Baines imo

      1. TD Champ
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, also my initial thoughts. Just tinkering on maybe bringing in Alcatraz (name) instead of Kaboul

  3. Sean
    • 14 Years

    i dont think anything compares to the feeling of bringing in baines 8)

    1. TD Champ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      An Obertan goal from the bench?

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bringing in Kolarov 😉

      f and p

      1. noMoreInternationalBreaks

  5. Spencer

    Moreno -> Baines a no brainer right?

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

      yup

    2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep 🙂

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

      It's what I did this week 😉

  6. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Siggy was really unlucky not to get a goal and assist today.

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

      yeah,no point in worrying about him until after next week anyway,should pick up points at home to leicester

    2. TD Champ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Right you are
      Keep him you must

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

      That's well and good but how confident would you be starting him for that trio of fixtures after the LEI game?

      1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Keep for next week then probs look at Siggy> chadli maybe

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

        Arsenal at home I wouldn't have any worries about playing Siggy. Gw1 away to Utd(hindsight) is reason enough to be confident he can get returns.

    4. Phaze 1
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      messing up his chance doesn't count as unlucky imo.

      1. TD Champ
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Balotelli doesn't agree

  7. Big Sum
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    a) PVA+n.Taylor+Moreno---->Dummett+Yun+Baines for a -4

    b) sterling+Moreno -----> Tadic+ Baines

      • 11 Years

      I would do (b) but thousands wouldn't.

  8. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    @Mark

    You should have stuck to your guns and sold Siggy for Mane like you said you were going to. I knew a Siggy haul would change your mind!

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

      Siggy could easily and should have scored today. And he should've gotten at least an assist too.

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Coulda woulda shoulda didn't.

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

          so much THIS

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

          But he coulda...

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

      You won't be saying that next week!!

  9. Timtastic03
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Why was that guy before so angry at Monk? Blatant dive by Moses!

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

      Because he's a Stoke fan.

      1. Timtastic03
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Can't really argue against monks frustration there though

    2. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      quite ridiculous dive. hate the way in football where blatant cheating like that is not retrospectively punished.

      1. Timtastic03
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Have that nailed in basketball. Even for play acting after fouls that are given.

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

      The ref obviously gave it because he gave a penalty for Swansea which was semi controversial

  10. diabydoesgallas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Rp- Opinion on this team guys? Right to captain Kun? Baines & Tadic for Terry & Sterling done yesterday to catch the rises:

    Forster (4.0)

    Baines - Kompany - Bertrand (Wisdom / Duff)

    Downing - Tadic - ADM - Siggy (King)

    Costa - Kun - Welbeck

    1.3m ITB

    1. TD Champ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      With Kompany in the team, i think you downgraded the wrong way, by selling Sterling

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

    Thinking of using my 2 FT's for this week on NTaylor + Silva ---> Jags + Eriksen? Thoughts?

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

      NTaylor could easily get a cleanie this week. and silva could easily score

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

        You can say that to Jags and Eriksen as well... Personally I'll wait on these transfers if there's nothing else major in your team.

      2. Phaze 1
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I could win the lotto.....

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

    I am thinking of transferring Fabregas & Wellbeck out and getting Boyd & Aguero in.

    Is it worth it?

    My other mids & forwards are: ADM/Sterling/Siggy/Tadic & Costa/Falcao

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

      No

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

      god no

  13. Phaze 1
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which 2 do you prefer?

    1) Tadic/Eriksen and Jagielka

    2) Baines and downing

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Desperate to have both Baines and Tadic. Of those I would go for Baines and Downing, because Baines is clearly superior to Jags, while Downing is not clearly inferior to the other two.

  14. Van Dal
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Barkley gone under the radar. Those fixtures look tasty and at 6.7 good value.

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Attractive, but too many performing to go for a yet-to-perform at this point.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I got him and welbeck in for a 4 point hit.

      Could have gone the aguero route but Barkleys fixtures just look too good, plus he is great calue your correct.

    3. NilSatisNisiOptimum16
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not under the radar...just obviously needs to start getting some points. I'm sure people are aware of that one dude..just not really much to say about it, until he does something. Lucky today you lot 😉

  15. XhakaCan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who to replace PvA with to go with these?
    Wilson, Naylor, Duff, Clyne, ______
    (4.5m, 0.0m itb)

  16. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Azpi and Downing to Moore and Eriksen for -4 folks?

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No way

  17. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

    Haha KEEPER 🙂

  18. Ginkapo FPL

    @Red Alert

    You watched MOTD, we watched the actual game. No we didnt watch the same game as those highlights werent representative at all.

    Not a single highlight of Yun holding Sterling in his pocket, or Dunne smashing through Balotelli.

    1. The Light Knight
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I fear you may be beaten by experience if you follow this path, Gink

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

        What path is that?

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

            😀

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

      If The Honey Monster had smashed through Balotelli he be dead 😉

      I saw some highlights on SS, Mario was fairly shite. I hear Rodgers is gonna try getting Origi out of his loan deal but sounds like a no go for me.

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

    Being as Tadic/Eriksen/Sterling are such hot topics...and Siggy in a negative way...

    Top mids for the last four gameweeks....(ADM on only three games btw)...arranged by ICT threat and all the no's...Top three badly under priced in this game...and the fourth one has 18 pts in two games !!

    http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4382/

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen has 19 though

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

        Eriksen has 35 pts in five games...Tadic 39...fantastic numbers...

    2. Rupert The Horse

      I was just going to post something similar, I still will though.
      Nice work.

    3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

      Eriksen top 3 I suspect.

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

      my fav sporting interview was when they asked leeds (rugby) captain bout the dislocated finger he had put back in on the pitch and his response was its nothing just a flesh wound

  21. Rupert The Horse

    Oh my God! That is absolutely stinging from Harry on Taarabt.
    Nice to see.

    1. Jimmers

      Deflecting attention from QPR being at the bottom of the table.

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

        yep never harrys fault

  22. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is it stupid to do Welbeck + Sterling --- Pelle + Taidc? (-4)

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

      don't like it for a hit

    2. TD Champ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Too much chasing last GW's points IMO

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

      defintion of chasing points! southampton wont score 8 every week and Arsenal and Liverpool could easily both score more than saints this week

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

    Repost.
    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)

    Ideas?

  24. Leaf

    Krul (Mannone)

    Baines , Shawx , Bertrand , Azpil ,wisdom

    Sterling , Hazard , Tadic , Siggy , Boyd

    Welbeck , Aguero (c) , Pelle

    How about ,
    Azpi & Siggy - Chambers & Eriksen

    Will be for a hit

    1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos

      Removing Siggy before Lei at home?!

  25. Costa Nostra

    • 9 Years

    I have a question....

    Why do 806,000 people still own Dier?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      More pressing issues.

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      I have no idea and i do but i don't want to

  26. GreennRed

    What chance of Walcott getting some gametime v Sunderland?

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Almost zero

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

    Lots of people asking about Costa. I have done some research.
    Marca reported Costa as being "rested"in their match report. Have also read this a few times from sources on twitter.
    Jose has not said Costa is injured, Chelsea have not reported him as injured.
    "Costa isn't injured. He can play. Jose wants to rest him for two weeks to prevent a future injury. Found this and Maribor games ideal."
    This is a quote from a Chelsea fan on twitter who is followed by some journos that may give it some weight. (Ben Dinnery has also said the same thing but I am sure this guy just does research on twitter and google like I have done)

    I know it is nothing concrete but thought I would share anyway so please don't shoot me down in flames for not having proper official sources other than the Marca comment. I believe he will play against Utd

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

      That sounds plausible. The Telegraph did mention the three week rest was to manage the problem, not necessarily to heal it.

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

      Thanks for this. All speculation of course but potentially far more useful than some of the stuff that's been going around.

  28. the axolotl
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    people defending shawcross regarding peno today really annoy the hell out of me. the fact that refs normally chicken out of same call doesn't change the fact that it's an absolutely blatant peno

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

      Shawx owner

      Definite penalty

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

      it was a pen but its the refs who annoy me. They need to call them all or call none

  29. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

    Advice on this please?

    Krul(Elliot)
    Baines/Clyne/Moreno(Hutton)(Wisdom)
    Siggy/Tadic/Sterling/ADM/Fab
    Pelle/Costa(Wood)

    I have two issues.
    1) Getting rid of Moreno, doubling up on Everton defence, bringing in Coleman?
    2) Either Costa > Aguero or Wood > Berahino/Sakho and ADM > Barkley

      Fplstatistics seems to be the least wrong
