The Big Numbers – Gameweek 21

With Gameweek 21 done and dusted, we dig deep into the data in our regular Sunday evening article. A trio of in-form midfielders at Arsenal, Man City and Swansea are amongst tonight’s topics, whilst we also assess United’s alarming attack, Burnley’s raiding right-back and the main men for West Brom and Palace as Tony Pulis and Alan Pardew kick-start their respective stints at the helm with a victory.

      Nice team.
      Only question I have is Dummett? With the rest of that defence is he ever going to play? If not, then may as well go for someone cheaper with better short term fixtures. Maybe Bruce from Hull?

        good point. ive had him for over 10 weeks now so maybe just forgot about him haha.

    2 GW punt for a striker alongside Costa and Kane. Benteke >

    A) Rooney (qpr, LEI)
    B) Pelle (new, SWA)
    C) Lukaku (WBA, cry)
    D) Crouch (lei, QPR)
    E) Carroll (HUL, liv)

      Benteke has had four consecutive blanks. I would sell him for just about anyone at this moment. Naismith, Ulloa, Vardy, Carroll, Ings, Berahino, Pelle.
      I just sold him after this week. But I got in Aguero. You probably won't go wrong with pretty much anyone else.

    Not sure which way to turn here. About to activate WC but not sure whether to drop Costa or not.

    Now it's as if I'm not already in an average January, cold, windy, business is dead but the bills don't seem to be any less but the Jan WC does tend to add to my gloom.
    One of the things that always pee's me off is the serial rmters who one hand spend the midweek asking everyone to pick their team then happily declaring their wonderful 85 pts and loling at the more unfortunate players who made a decision based on their own strategy & thoughts.
    Now I know there's nothing new in this but this just adds to the January blues.

    For what it's worth, we should move Jan in between Nov & Dec so that we'd still have Christmas to look forward to. 😉

    P.S
    Nothing wrong with RMT's or advice as such, as I say it's the serial ones.

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years

      I just ignore them

        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You're obviously a more balanced individual than I. 🙂
        As I say there's not that many I think but the few serial posters do get on my baps.

        Thats what I'd do, hence dont bother. I've always preffered climbing as its a challenge I can understand. Never got the idea of pushing for higher weights etc.

          I just do general fitness, circuits and a bit of running.

    I am looking to bring in a defender of a one week punt. Thinking it comes down to either Cresswell or Trippier. They will be gone in my wildcard next week anyway.
    Anyone have any better ideas?
    Appreciate any advice!

    1. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Prefer Cresswell of the 2.

    2. Hazardous Liege '76
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm thinking Trippier - have to lose Debuchy anyhow

  11. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    7 greens, 9k. Appreciate all the help 😎

    Forster (new)
    Hutton (LIV) JT (swa) Wisdom (eve)
    Alexis (mci) Silva (ARS) Hazard (swa) Fabregas (swa)
    Carroll (HUL) Austin(MNU) Kane(SUN)

    McC, Chadli, Oshea, Dummett

    1FT, 5.7m.

    Could do Carroll to Aguero but my defence won't get many this week.

    a) Dummett to Cresswell
    b) Carroll to Aguero

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Agüero, probably. But now you're top 10k it's not really the team that gets you moving - it's picking the right captain.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah that's a good point.

        Will probably captain Aguero if I get him

      2. Mr Tin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Too right. I've fallen from 5k to 20k through awful captain choices over the past month.

        1. Hazardous Liege '76
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Likewise

    2. Sydney Saints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd keep carroll at home to Hull.
      Depends upon whether you are cash strapped and need to get aguero before price rises......

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He fires hot and cold. I rather miss out on a Carroll brace than Aguero

  12. Ed
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So is everyone getting Aguero in now? I'm very tempted to wait till I wildcard after the chelsea-city game

    1. Sydney Saints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is the wildcard still active then?

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

        Last week available I believe

        1. Teddy Brewski
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Available for 3 more weeks

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I like to play it safe so will probably get him

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

        Yeah I usually go along a similar line of thinking. Just don't know who to drop out of costa & austin. Who you bring him in for?

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Carroll

    3. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Was going to wait but RVP potentially being injured means i've pulled the trigger.
      I don't want to wait, find out he's out and miss out on price rises.

  13. Zizou
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    rvp > aguero

    or wait a few days, when will aguero go up again

  14. Deece
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Siggy on pens now bony off to city? If so does it make him better 4th mid than Chadli?

    1. Phil_fox85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I think Gomis is on penalties?

  15. Delhidynamo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Been freefalling since the last 3 weeks

    McCarthy Guzan

    Azpi* Zaba Naylor Trippier Yun*
    Sanchez Downing Hazard Sterling Eriksen
    Costa Kane Austin

    Would you WC this lot people? Just a quick yes or no guys

  16. Sofarsogood
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Two defenders injured today - Toby and Debuchy. Any ideas on how long Toby migt be out for, I want a Southampton defender going forwards and don't know which one to replace first this week. Will probably get Clyne as a replacement but unsure whether double Southampton is best.

    Others defs are Terry, PVA and vertogen.

    Any ideas?

    1. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No idea on Toby but whatchagonnado with Debuchy? I'm on my WC and was all set to bring him in. Now I is flummoxed

    2. Cojiro
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Clyne/ berty then 3.9 def as you probs won't need them

  17. 1justlookin

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Anyone rate ShawX as a two week punt?! It is either him or Trippier.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That could be ok

  19. Teddy Brewski
    • 9 Years

    Adrian, Foster
    Zabaleta, Azpi, Debuchy, Hutton, S.Taylor

    Currently considering the following before WC'ing before G23:

    A. Creswell & Jenkinson for Azpi & Debuchy.
    B. Aguero & Wasilewski for Costa & Debuchy
    C. Something else.

    What do you all think?

    Cheers guys!

    1. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I like B. assuming you will bench Siggy/Austin?

      1. Teddy Brewski
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Siggy probably.

        Thanks, you think Aguero to start v Ars?

  20. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Which 3 defenders to play next week?

    Trippier (CRY), Wasilewski (STK), Pieters (lei), Wisdom (eve), PvA (tot)

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Trippier, Was and Pieters.

      Pieters possibly injured though

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks, what about Wisdom? With Pulis and Evertons disappointing form....

  21. seanmcging
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Really struggling to find replacements for Debuchy & Toby after today's injuries, I thought they were the best value ways into both their teams & only put them in my WC team last night, any suggestions?

    I have 0.2 ITB & my other defenders are Naylor, Wisdom & Wasileski.

  22. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is it silly to do Sanchez, Austin to Boyd, Kun (-4) ?

    Will get Sanchez back when I WC the following week (will cost 0.3 dearer)
    Prefer not to WC now because my team is decent for this week

    Other ways to get Kun is to get rid Costa or Hazard, also for -4

    1. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes silly, don't do it

    2. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That is nuts

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, silly. No go.

  23. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Should I WC to get Saints in, Adm/Theo/Boydinho etc or gtg??

    Adrian
    Zaba. Azpi. Hutton
    Sanchez. Downing. Silva(v). Haz
    Aguero (c). Ings. Kane

    Foster. Siggy. Wisdom. Oshea

  24. M.I.A.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Zab>Bertrand sound good or hold for one more week?

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I can see City keeping a clean sheet next week and that's way I am holding onto Zabs

  25. danishdynamite
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is a non-sick Chambers the most likely recipient of Debuchys RB gig, or is the young French chap the more likely?

    On a WC and had plans for Debuchy........but no more

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If chambers is fit, it's him first. Bellerin is third choice

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It would be a bit too short term to bring Chmbers in

  26. Sarri-ball
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Debuchy/Toby injury changed wildcard plans. think cracked it rmwct.

    Forster/Hamer

    Terry/Hutton/Tripper/Pva/Wasilewski

    Hazard/Sanchez/Dimaria/Sterling/Albrighton

    Costa/Aguero/Kane

    is my defence strong enough to beable to have front 7.

    Got other wildcard in hand so can change if goes horribly wrong

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

    Rp

    Here is me next week, Wc in the pocket 😎

    Forster
    JT Clyne Baines
    Hazard Sanchez Silva (vc) Eriksen
    Austin Kane (c) Costa

    4.0 Chester Hutton King

    1.4 ITB & 1 FT

    A) Eriksen to ADM
    B) Austin to Ings
    C) save FT

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A or C. Like either

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B imo

  28. Twelve years a slave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Any reason why i shouldnt bring Jones in (sensible one)

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      because mignolet has reclaimed his spot

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

      Because manu is rubbish

    3. Faker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Cause he's playing for United.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        ok so no sensible reason, guess im in the wrong place at the wrong time

    4. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I thot about this aswell great fixures but no room for him in my current wildcard.

      I think as good a option as any1 that price range

    5. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      because he's an injury waiting to happen and frankly I'm not 100% convinced he's nailed once Rojo is back fit

      Smalling was much better than him today

  29. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
