The Big Numbers – Midfielders – Last Four Gameweeks

After delving into the Gameweek 5-8 data for Defenders yesterday afternoon, we now set our sights on the midfielders. Arsenal’s in-form duo arrive under analysis, whilst we also cast an eye over City and West Ham’s summer signings and analyse the recent displays of Southampton’s wide men as the fixtures turn in their favour.

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

    When do i ever learn. Not to do early transfers in an international break

    Already did Martial --> Pelle.

    Now have to deal with Kun injury amd a crap defence. (-8) hit incomming

      LOL I did exactly same thing. Stupid price rise websites dictating my moves.

      I'll be taking a -12 🙁

    Are you all likely captaining Aguero vs Man Utd in 2 GWs time or will you try and find a differential?

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Wait, when did he get injured?

      1. Huddersfield

        lol

        Around 20th minute.

          Did it look bad?

    OH come on Augero, just when things started to look nice again.

    Already used my transfer on Gomez, Augero --> Pelle (-4) looks inevitable doesn't it?

  4. Huddersfield
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Quinonez injured

    1. Zasa
      • 9 Years

      😯 Hide your children, hide your kids.

  5. Kurtinho
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts here?

    Butland
    Kolarov - Dawson - Prodl
    Sanchez - Mata - Payet - Wijnaldum
    Aguero - Pelle - Berahino

    Mccarthy; Francis, Westwood, Lovren
    0.4ITB + 0FT

    Already used FT on Shaq > Wij, thinking of potentially shifting to 352 if Kun is out for a while. To do this I'd go Kun + Westwood > Ighalo + KDB (-8), activating AOA and benching Prodl. This leaves me plenty in the bank to go Bera > Lukaku in a couple weeks.

    Any other recommendations? 🙂

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years

      Looks good. Decent plan.

        A few more injuries would make it a disaster.

          • 10 Years

          Any more and WCs are go!

    3. Root
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Unless they used the transfers to get Agüero in, I don't see a huge mistake here.

              Ah nice, right up the top i see 🙂

              Looking solid, the Aguero injury will be an interesting opportunity for the discerning manager now!

    At work so not watching any games - did Agueros hammy look bad? Was he limping a little or totally down and out? I hate the international break...

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        With any luck Aguero will be fit before he gets banned again we can just buy Kun back then

        1. ILOVEBAPS

  21. Diva

    I hope Agüero's injury is only a minor one. He's the only player left from my GW1 team so I'll be sad to lose him.

      That's some good turnover! 8 here pre WC

    Sooooo many options if Aguero out for a while!
    Costa
    Sturridge
    Pelle
    Martial
    Lukaku
    And who ever you pick can turn westwood into 7.8.9mill mid

    1. ILOVEBAPS

      True but I hope he is ok as I like the diversity in teams at the moment.

      1. Mull
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        There is very little diversity in teams at the moment.

      2. fedolefan
        • 10 Years

        The diversity will come in GW 13 when EVERYONE has good fixtures viz. Ars, United, Chelsea, Liv, Everton, Southampton.

    Front 7 without Aguero :-

    Sanchez, Payet, KDB, Mahrez, Morrison

    Vardy, Ayoze

    1FT 2.1ITB

    A) Kun > Pelle & bench either Morrison/Ayoze
    B) Kun > Pelle & Morrison > Hazard for -4
    B) Play as above and save a FT

  25. bibon27

    ben davies vs ward?

    who is better for the longt erm?

  26. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    If out for a bit, I am inclined to sell Aguero for lukaku and then upgrade Westwood to Wolcott. I'd do Silva, but am 0.5 short. I have Alexis and KDB already. This would for minus 8, given that I've already used my FT. I do have my wc, but would prefer to hold for gw11 or kun return week.

  27. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 10 Years

    I also hope he's fine too as I'm happy with my team right now . Aguero out makes it messy

      Solid move. Mané will score a hattrick in every game.
