The Big Numbers – Gameweek 17

QPR’s home hitman hogs the array of impressive numbers on show from the weekend, ably assisted by stellar showings from Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Elsewhere in our regular members’ statistical digest, we examine how Man City’s tactical tweaks influenced two of their key midfielders and analyse how a pair of returning United assets are hinting at major hauls as their minutes begin to build.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Do we know how many % of the top 10K who captained Hazard and Costa?

        Thanks! So I should hope for my players Costa and Hazard to do well tonight, even though I didn't captain them.

    Kept a screenshot of last seasons history page

    Can anyone explain why there is a huge difference in rank while the points are similar ?

    2013-14 Gw 17 (Total 950 , Rank 730k)

      maybe because last season every bandwagon keept on delivering, all you had to do is buy a player who did well the week before

      Sell Rooney imo so annoying watching him the other day didn't even take a shot

      1. Surezh06
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Manchester at home is strong so i will keep him for another week and then ship him out for giroud or benteke

  7. Green Arrow
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Yun+Costa>Ivan+Giroud?

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Don't sell Costa for Giroud

      1. Surezh06
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Costa not worth 11 off late imo..

    2. dmcqt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What's the latest with Yun? It's nice having a £3.9 player on the bench if he's actually getting game time, especially over the holiday period. Any update on his ankle injury from last match?

      1. Green Arrow
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure, but there's the Asia Cup coming up soon anyways

    3. dmcqt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      And I'd favour Costa over Giroud. I think Costa is a season keeper, even if he misses one or two over the coming gameweeks.

      1. Willis.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Giroud will play against QPR. Costa will not play against West Ham.

      2. Green Arrow
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        with mid-range strikers like Giroud, Benteke, Carroll and Bony keeps theirs points ticking, I'm getting the feeling that Costa is slightly overpriced. Isn't having a chelsea defender over Costa a better option? Already have Hazard and Fab...

        1. Green Arrow
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          *keeping their

        2. dmcqt
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Good reasoning. I'm expecting Costa to keep up a steady flow of goals and occasionally score three or four. I think the pricing is fair, personally. I'd drop Fabregas and definitely have a Chelsea defender (Ivanovic is my preference). You could just wait until the wild card to reorganize the team. Giroud does look hungry at the moment, though...

          1. Green Arrow
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I've always felt that Fab is very underrated in these parts. I've owned him since the beginning of the season, and he is very very consistent in returning points. He takes most corners and free-kicks for CFC, who have a lot of tall and strong players for winning headers. So whether Ivan, Cahill, Terry, Costa or Matic scores from headers, it'll be Fabregas delivering the assist 🙂

    Cheers.

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez + Lukaku -> Silva + Giroud

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez out!? I don't think so.

      2. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Why Sanchez out? Pls explain

        1. Surezh06
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Cazorla has hit form.. did you saw yesterday match?? he was there best player from the newcastle game.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            see*

            Sanchez is still the most Dangerous player in that Arsenal team

        2. Willis.
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Won't start v QPR. Fixtures turn sour after the QPR game.

    2. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Might as well get Austin now. Higher chance of outscoring Lolkaku in any gameweek, this included.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Have you seen QPR's away form?

        Lukaku has stoke. Surely he will score? Was unlucky against SOT. Has a good goal scoring record at home.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Lukaku is trolling everyone and everton is shocking lately.

        2. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Keep then. Don't cry about gameweeks after 🙂

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Like I said, I plan on doing Lukaku to Austin when Austin has CRY at home. One more GW for Lukaku then its bye bye!

            1. Shifty
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              QPR on abit of a high, Arsenal's defence is shocking, bit of a London derby element to it, QPR could nick one.

              But sure, guess it's safe to sit on the transfer.

              1. Puyol Pants Up
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                They always look like they are on a high after they play a home game. Then they lose.

                1. Shifty
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  nothing's gonna convince you 🙂 keep Lukaku.

              2. La Roja
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                i agree, I expect goals galore

                4-2

  15. dmcqt
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Any thoughts on Milner over the coming matches? What chance that he'll be in the false nine position again? If so, he's likely to pick up some points. He's been quite an assist machine recently.

    1. Jarvis
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He didn't look it on Saturday tbh, i wouldnt!

    2. Ctrl Alt DeLaet
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Seems likely to be Silva's spot (I thought they changed part way through.) Even so I think he'll get a few games in centre mid and still makes those key passes!

      1. dmcqt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Looks like Silva is the one to have now, though Milner seems a decent bargain punt.

        1. Ctrl Alt DeLaet
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          If it makes you feel better, I've got Milner in my draft team and have done since about November. Silva or Toure are the ones you want though.

    3. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Thought this myself. Surely he will play up top of the injured remain injured

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Considering him ad 5th mid if Siggy is not fit and out for Silva.

  16. Kevtheotter
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Costa Hazard and Terry to play

    Sitting on 70 points up from 5.9k to 1.7k...

    Can I expect another green tonight?
    Do I want goals from Haz and Costa?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Should move even higher. Great week!

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Agree. I have also 70 points and only Hazard and Costa left, With 5 points from Naylor coming in. Hoping to get a green today too.

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          surely a green. great week.

        No, the yet unknown point tally of Hazard but would have made tonight more interesting plus Boydinho would've popped from the bench with 5pts!

    miralles racks up the points every time he plays but his minutes are limited due to injury, can an everton fans tell me how close he is to playing 90 minutes consistently?

      He never has since he's been at Everton I don't think. He did play 3 games in a week recently though and that's the first time I can remember that happening, plus he looks better than ever so maybe it's a sign of things to come.

            Grr

            Can't say I didn't put alot of thought into it! Even Giroud, the alternative, scored ffs! This game is pure evil I tell you. Gutted when the goals came in...but can only blame myself. Dust it off and time to go again.

            Hopefully Hazard(c) saves some face tonight.
