Paul With the final double Gameweek of the season almost upon us, we turn our attentions to the Opta statistics to assess the recent form of Arsenal and Sunderland.
Using the team profile data, we take a look at both sides displays from Gameweek 30-36 – a period of time that saw them play six times apiece and one that coincides with Dick Advocaat’s arrival at the Stadium of Light.

Rrrrrrrepost!
Hi everyone don't normally post my team, but I have EXACTLY THE SAME POINTS as my money league rival.
Team:
Pants
Coleman | Skertal | Creswell | PVA | Berty
Hazard | Ramsey | Henderson | Silva | Boyd
Aguero | Giroud | Benetke
-----
I'm thinking:
-4 hit for:
Haz + Coleaman out -> Sanchez + Schlup (play next week) / Sanchez + Kolarov
Right moves?
I wouldn't take a hit if it's that close
Depends who your rival has
How much Itb
They sound like right moves to me.
Will John Terry last another season at the top level
Sure. Best defender in Premier League history. He can clog along for another year 😉
Yes.
Do you classify Epl as 'Top level'?
😆
Do you think Fabs has a higher chance than Haz of starting this wkd with Mikel and Loftus Bum playing central pivot he could end up playin in the hole in a more advanced position too? Thoughts
Yes
Not for me.
Ancelotti and Guardeola to be both sacked?
I think so now.
Pep sacked? Can't see that. Have i missed something?
Carlo quite possibly. It's Madrid after all. Sure it won't bother him too much, he can take his pick. Brilliant manager
Not so sure now Dunny, what has he Dunne?
It was a given he'd win the bunda league with the assets at his disposal, personally without messi and a few others he's been found out.
Oh quite possibly. I'm not defending the guy just that Bayern don't seem the type to fire someone after one disappointment
Carlo can go manage any team in the world. Doubt he's bothered.
Madrid are an unclassy club anyway
Pep won't be
Carlo for sure. Most likely City is next destination
Neither.
Davis, Myhill
Terry, Moreno, Clyne, Morgan, Dawson
Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Ramsey, Boyd
Aguero, Benteke, Kane
1FT, 0.5 in bank
Struggling to choose best transfers for DGW
A) Davis -> Ospina
B) Dawson -> Bellerin
C) Other
It's Blackburn turn, I think. 🙂
Steele
Spurr Hanley Baptiste Olsson
Conway Lowe Cairney Marshall
Gestede Rhodes
Pretty sure they can reach PL if they keep attacking duo.
No shearer
ðŸ™
Alan "I remember we got a pie" Shearer?
G'N'R - the new SAS 😎
Guns n' Roses 😉
Oh sweet child O' mine!
Spurr is a LB. Henley will keep his spot there i assume. Some impressive displays last season. Conway on the left also probably although they do swap around a fair bit in the game. We desperately need a centre halve or two and a midfielder with a bit of champ experience and know how.
Be amazed if we keep hold of Gestede OR Rhodes
I know Spurr is LB, but Olsson is decent and we need both of them.
What is wrong with Adam Henley? Much better than Spurr. All Spurr brings is a long throw!
Ok, ok, sorry.
lol don't have to sorry lad! Just wondered if you didn't like Henley for some reason. Makes mistakes but he's improving with every game and has much more potential than Spurr imo
Didn't watch a lot of games, Rovers aren't on TV often here in Serbia.
lol not on much here either mate!
Glad to have as many fans as we can get 😉
U have my full support 🙂
I'd be staggered if we keep hold of Gestede. He'd be right at the top of my shopping list if I was a prem manager.
play 3 out of these:
on a,b,d
A) berty- villa h
B) moreno- palace h
C) schlupp- sun a
D) pva- double
E) vlaar sou a
thanks
[Panti]
[Kos] â— Terry â— [PvA]
[Sánchez©] â— Hendo â— [Ramsey] â— Haz
Vardy â— Austin â— Aguero
Schmeichel â— Schlup Boyd Dawson
0.5 ITB
Anything worthy a hit??
Looks good, maybe Austin > Sunderland forward?
I wouldn't for a hit Jaffa...Austin vs New could be great!
Didn't realise they were playing Newcastle!!
THIS.
I don´t know, Newcastle has a weak defence and I see QPR scoring, then Austin is on penaltys and I don´t see Sunderland scoring at Emirates and Leicester is defending well, so I doubt a Sunderland forward can do 6 points (4 from hit and 2 from Austin playing) plus 4 or 5, it can happen but I don´t see it happening.
Just seen they are playing Newcastle. I'd hold, looks great! 🙂
Hmm ok, nice, thanks mate. 🙂
What are the odds of a Suarez bite in the CL final? 😛
Ask Chielini
If Evra doesn't get to him first!
Hello there,
Is Ozil/Ramsey to Sanchez (c) worth a hit?
Cheers.
No
Time to talk about mls boys and girls.
Anyone got any insight on DC Uniteds starting xi?
Is it possible that we are over thinking this notion of Arsenal rotating during the DGW?
Losing to Swansea makes me think he will play his best side for the next 2, try and get second wrapped up and rotate in gw 38 with the cup final in mind?
Possibly
Yeah, I'd go along with that
Particularly as Sunderland could prove tougher than WBA as they have something to play for
Agree completely
Why would they even rotate for GW 38? There's a week between the game and the Fa Cup final.
Sounds good!
Question - bookies or form? (Numerical odds format)
Benteke to 'anytime score' = 2.9
Southampton clean sheet = 2.3
Bookies odds say, play Bertrand and bench Benteke - do you agree??
No.
Why?
No
Why?
Answer to that is obvious surely?
Haha, yes - but wondered if you had any insight / could expand
I think Benteke will score more points 🙂
screw Southampton's defence
I'd back Benteke to score (anytime) well before I'd back the Saints c/s
But the bookies are often right...
I agree though
You are way over simplifying this. Can Southampton get a double or triple clean sheet?
Sorry Dunny, I'm tired, what do you mean?
Bertrand/Saints can only get one clean sheet. Benteke can score multiple times hence his points ceiling is soon much higher
Right gotcha. Yeah course, you're right. Also factor in that Villa have all to play for and Saints are flakey at the mo.
...
Cue Saints clean sheet 😉
Mostly they are, hence they have loads of my money...I'd still back Tekkers as it's a more fun bet!
Play your bloody forwards for god sake. As if you are gonna bench Benteke for bloody Bertrand....
Haha, I fully intend to: howver use the odds as a sense check . Good to ask the opinion of you guys too
The points potential is much greater for Benteke plus Saints look shaky at best.
Thank you, I agree.
Saints are leaking more than my boiler at present
beneteke could hurt you a lot more then berty
Giroud or Ramsey for captaincy? (can't afford Sanchez)
Giroud
no goals in 4 though and in games you'd expect him to score in bar Chelsea
Ramsey
lol thanks for the help...
Exactly. How can anyone know?
That and given his answer to my Giroud call he's already made up his mind 🙂
Yep.
Rambo
giroud
Transfer strategy!
Currently 43 points behind league leader which is big gap I know but I think some combinations with dgw could work to at least make it close. But to do this I want to make x2 transfers tomorrow. I reckon doing this will make the leader think tooooo much and make a balls up.
My Q is this does the timing of transfers influence you ?
ps Defoe / Ramsay / Ozil / Monreal pick 2 of the four!
ramsey and defoe
Just checked my rank, there are still 2 guys ahead of me who started from GW2.
Sigh.
So your linked team isn't your team then? Why bother?
The links rolled forward from last season bit got messed up so if you didn't change it, it just shows a random side. No idea why.
4 ahead of me! The bastards!
Pity Saf ain't around to put an extended arm around Bale, he could really make the boy feel welcome at O.T.
He should be running out of Madrid the way the fans have treated him...think he'd do very well for us
Would you lose DeGea to get him?
Keepers are always replaceable.
Bale in the right environment is a game changer.
No question for me.
Took us long enough to replace Schmeichel
We'd have time with that new old guy.
Forgot we had him...what age is he?
Meh, I wouldn't really be too keen tbh.
Would cost a phenomenal amount, would want to play Left Wing so would stunt Depay's progress and would cost us a great GK.
He made his choice when he went to Real over United (who went in for him big time) which was completely fair but I wouldn't really be thrilled to see an entire transfer budget go on him...
which 3 defenders to play:
on a,b,d
A) berty- villa h
B) moreno- palace h
C) schlupp- sun a
D) pva- double
E) vlaar sou a
thanks
ACD
plus 1
thanks beavis, is that due to moreno not starting recently or do you just prefer schlupp?
PVA,Schlupp,Vlaar
what to do please??
Pants
PVA Skrtel Kosc [rose Ivan]
Sanchez Ozil Hazard Sterling [boyd]
Aguero Kane Vardy
a) Vardy -> Defoe
b) Boyd -> Gomez/Johnson (bench Vardy)
c) Kosc & Sterling -> Cheapie & Ramsey (-4)
B and Gomez, no doubt about it. Any help below?
does gomez take corners and frees?
Evening all, so I have boiled down hours of mind bending into two sets of options, please bear with me any let me know which you would prefer. Thanks in advance – really need some input on this one!
Option A:
GW37: Cylne & Caz
GW38: Wasi, Caz, Vardy & Kane (or a 5.8m striker with a FT)
Option B:
GW37: Bellerin & Wickham
GW38: Bellerin, Bolasie, Kane & Gomis (no FT)
A id say
a
Quick one:-
i) stay here and bullshit a bit more
or
ii) go watch Air Crash Investigations
definitely 1
iii) change that attitude and enlighten those less unfortunate rankers!
Lol; at this time of night it's all bullshit (in fact it's probably always bullshit) 😉
I'm thinking ii) but with GoT
Not in to those 'cool' shows myself 🙂
I'm at the point where I might stop watching - quite bored of it now
I'm struggling a bit with it as well. It's difficult when you've read the books
Arsenal 0-0 Sunderland would be great.
Sunderland 0 - 0 Leicester would be even better 😉
I'd take both!
Nah, Sun 0 - 0 Lei would be awesome!
Granville had me semi-convinced it was points all but in the bag until I realised a draw really doesn't do that much for either of them!
1st sub?
Schlupp or Allbrighton?
Albrighton for me
Tough one, but stick to the old adage of going with the attacker!
Is Wasilewski nailed on for the final gameweek (unless there is crazy rotation)?
Should be at this stage
Sell Haz for Ozil?
Maybe for free, yah.
how worried should i be as ML leader with no Ramsey/Cazorla?
Are your other players better than them? If so, relax.
i don't think so....have kosc sanchez and ozil.....
have tempted to ditch kosc for -4 so i can buy one of them to cover myself!?
silly?
That's mental. An arsenal defender will be a money spinning differential this week I think. I'm annoyed I don't have one.
Depends. I'm not concerned at all
Not at all.
Both rivals I'm chasing have Ozil (we all have Sanchez) and I have Kos
Question is Ramsey or Caz
Ramsey
Have you read this...may be of help
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/05/13/assessing-arsenals-double-gameweek-attacking-options/
Cheers - will have a look.
Looking like Ramsey at the moment.
Pantilimon #
Schlupp / Terry / PvA #
Sanchez # © / Ramsey # / Silva / Hazard
Aguerö / Giroud # / Vardy
Bench: Krul / Rose / Boyd / Dawson
Chasing a 29 pt mini league deficit with 1.1m ITB, 1 FT.
Do I do:
(A) Vardy > Defoe
(B) Boyd > Gomez, bench Vardy
(C) Hazard > Gerrard (rest risk)
(D) Leftfield captain choice e.g. Giroud
(E) hold FT for a double surprise attack next week
We have really similar teams...
similar to me...
thinking B!?
So Gomez > Defoe?
more a case of vardy > boyd
I wouldn't play Boyd over vardy. It's effectively vardy to Defoe or Gomez. The bore in me half thinks it's better to hold on in case something nuts happens and I need the ft next week but I suppose it can potentially do more damage this week.
C
Ramsey, Cazorla or Ozil?
Cazorla
Ramsey
Sounds good
Worth a read...may not definitively answer your question though!
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/05/13/assessing-arsenals-double-gameweek-attacking-options/
Plus 42!
Silva > Ramsey for free?
Sanchez Cazorla Hazard Silva Henderson
Aguero Kane Vardy
Get a defender 🙂
Your biased!
Tho in this case Andy is prob right 😆
NEarly every reply on here is biased towards the picks that person has made 🙂
Whether intentional or not...
Omg hulk this 😉
I'd shift Hazard myself...in fact think that's what I am actually going to do
What about the incoming 6-0 v Sundy where Haz goes ape and Ivan gets all those assists back?
I shall, most likely, buy him back before that!
He's my only player left since GW1; It's likely I'll shed a tear if I do sell him 😥
