The Big Numbers – Gameweek 24-25

We delve into the previous two Gameweeks’ data this afternoon after the quick-fire schedule saw a couple of rounds of fixtures take place over the last six days. Southampton and Leicester’s wide men with an eye for goal, Liverpool’s raiding wing-back and Burnley’s in-form striker are amongst today’s candidates, whilst we also asses the lack of impact from a Palace winger and the Saints’ toiling Italian.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          Here's an excel doc showing the fixtures up to the first "unlimited transfers break". https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18GZ9ZXpMNiXNrsralMrPjX9TmFWgJxdpcDivWRNOwRE/edit#gid=806071520

    Miserable - sums it up nicely

    I bet you Giggs thinks the same

    Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers snapped at the Vatican on scouting trip
    The Anfield boss did not attend a live game as neither Serie A giants Lazio or Roma played but Sportsmail understands he flew out to do some groundwork on trying to sign Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic.

    He is signing the Pope, he is really impressed with his conversion rate.

    Anyone else thinking of bringing in Yaya this week?

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      How much is he?

      Need to get rid of Adm

      1. Chris_White
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        10.7

        Ozil an option too, but I already have Sanchez and Walcott so a bit too much Arsenal...

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A bit tempted but I have Silva and Kun - really hoping to save the transfer if nothing required. See how and where Yaya slots back in first too...

      1. Chris_White
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah an overkill if so. I already have Sanchez and Wally so not too keen on Ozil.

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Your Arsenal is my City 🙂

      Is that true?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Nope, just paying a visit to the ground I believe

      2. Jax
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        no ffs.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          It's only as unlikely as Lampard...Who would have seen that one coming?

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sign him up

  6. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    If Phil Jones is fit would you still shift him for Alder?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely.
      He's not on set piece anymore.

    2. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Aye.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        even with Pool in town this week?

        1. Chris_White
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Well if you have other defenders who have decent fixtures then I guess you should wait. Can't see the game being high scoring though.

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            well my other defenders are

            Kos (cpl) Wolly (avl) Naughton (MNU) Lescott (sun)

  7. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If/when Baines drops, he'll be 0.1 lower than when I bought him. Also injured and after next game has horrible fixtures.

    However, have Wisdom to deal with.

    Which one merits the transfer?

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wisdom imo. Everton are getting tighter - looked solid v Chelsea and that is as good a test as any. If Baines adds cleanies to his usual assists and odd pen he may get back on some radars...

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. He's a money pit a bit, but at least he's playing, and carrying Kane, Hazard and Terry into the blank, I can't carry any other passengers.

  8. Dr Dream

    I have no idea about picks for the CWC or cricket in general..If I play is there a way of winging it through auto completes and the like...or even any stats pages ?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Auto-complete is available 😉

            He played vs Uae,but won't play vs England!

    Krul - Pantilimon
    Clyne - Ivanovic - Naughton - Wisdom - Vergini
    Cazorla - Mane - Hazard - Silva - Marney
    Giroud - Kane - Agüero

    3. Andy1

      Marney and wisdom need to go IMO

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Obviously Marney needs dealing with asap with one of those FTs - you will need a full squad for the DGWs coming ...

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐

      Naughton or Wollschied

      Wolly or Naughty

      1. 50 Shades Oshea

    1. Gooner97

      I think Bellerin is enough. Save the money for the DGW.

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            naughton, pva, baird, kosc, jones.
            want jones out for toby and will get rid of kos probably for chels defender in the double... but rotation risk defenders have been frustrating me recently. was thinking bruce? but rotation risk...
            thanks

            1. Gooner97
              • 10 Years

              Go for Toby, I think a Saints defender is essential.

                  Yes good transfer.
                  Keep an eye on Haidara, Naughton or Dawson(wba)

    Does Tiote's injury mean that Ameobi might start now? He's somehow my 5th mid.

    would you play double Soton def against Pool (Fonte & CLyne)?
    lack of options at the back with other def being PVA, Wasi* & Wisdom*

      yeah they could easily get a cs

    Just hit the auto complete button on CWC but I've no clue of it's any good or not...Anybody willing to share a template...?...Promise I won't win it...

      You need the top all rounders plus the best two bowlers.

      Wicketkeeper(s) must be ace batsmen.

      A.B de Villiers.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That's a start...I have no clue who anybody is but I'm willing to learn...I just need a way in with a half decent template. I'll pick it up as the tournie progresses.

          Is not really a set template like fpl. You can think of having 3-4 players playing per match at best. So try using the 42 transfers wisely to get 1-2 good players per match.

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Oh that's good...

        2. Demí
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Decent template to start off would be: 4 NZ 1SL, 3 Aus 3 South Africa as they all play first

          An example team could be: Anderson, Boult, Williamson, Southee, Dilshan, Warner, Smith, Johnson, Philander, De Kock, Amla

          Decent English picks include: Bell, Finn, Ali and Anderson. Buttler if needing a wicket keeper

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Brilliant...Thanks Demi...I'll put that in and then read up a bit in the coming days and try to learn a bit. As long as I have a fantasy interest in it and a starting point I'll just wing it..for good or bad. It should be fun.

              No worries Wakey. A bit hard to keep track off with the match timings though, and need to change captain(power player) after each match. I'll doubtless forget to do some. But it's only a bit of fun really.. the first match starts at 10pm tonight, England play australia at 3:30 in the morning

    2. fishnil
      • 9 Years

      Could think of sangakara too... Btw you have the choice of 42 transfers in the group stage. Make good use of it.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Who does he play for...and what about English players ?..do we have any good picks ?

      which website are you doing the cricket on?
      thanks

  25. 1314

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Which transfer would you do this week ? (thinking of b)

    a) Wisdom > Colo/Haidara/Wolly/Naughton
    b) Caz > Ozil

    Option (a) :
    pros - Maintain TV
    cons - if it's so unlucky that Wisdom's replacement is in doubt to play fr gw 27 it becomes a waste transfer (not gonna play him this week anyway)

    Option (b) :
    pros - exciting move , sure about who's fit to replace Wisdom the week after
    cons - tv loss for sure

    So last Valentine's Day I gave my ex-gf some flowers and a really nice poem

    "Roses are Red"
    "Violets are Blue"
    "These Flowers are dead"
    "and you are to me too"

    Can't understand why she dumped me tbh

      ye i like it, someone did a spread sheet, will have a look to see if i can find it...

    2. fishnil
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Malinga might not be in the best of form.

    3. Who Ate All Depays?
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      also Steyn is possibly injured and they might not risk him against Zimbabwe

    Seeing a lot about people quitting FF this week.... Thing is, how long do you really think it would be before you started to regret that decision? I know I'd be back into it for the next gameweek...

        Was never going to be an option - would serve his ban in the cup match.

    2. 1314
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      hmm..good for WH but didn't he prevent a goal scoring chance ?

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No. He was fouled, as we protested at the time.

        1. 1314

          I see , didn't watch closely

      Good for the team but bad for jussi.

        1. Sponge-worthy
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah but gotta support the last finn in the prem. And he was excellent a couple years ago.

    4. Jax
      • 14 Years

      not surprised. it was a foul on him.

  30. CrabieCrawford
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone any thoughts on how best to plan for gameweek 27 & 28, with 2 FT 0.7 in the bank and wildcard still available.

    Foster Hamer
    Terry Clyne PVA Hutton Wisdom
    Hazard Sanchez Walcott Silva Boyd
    Aguero Giroud Kane

    I was thinking along the lines of:
    Wisdom to Haidera for GW 26
    Terry and Giroud to Wollscheid and Strurridge for GW 27
    And wildcard for GW 28, getting Terry, Costa, Erikson and a spurs def. (assuming Chelsea and Spurs have a double and Costa doesnt pick up yellow cards)
    Anything else standing out?

    1. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 10 Years

      ye i like, no point doing haidara move as against city as you may as well as see if he is nailed on...

      1. CrabieCrawford
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I have to make a transfer this week or else i lose it, cant afford sturridge and want terry to play against burnely

        1. 50 Shades Oshea
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          ah fair enough, why not go naughton...
