The Big Numbers – Gameweek 21

1,984 Comments
Share

Our usual post-Gameweek members article arrives this evening, as we cast an analytical eye over some of the standout performers over Saturday and Sunday’s ten fixtures.

Spurs’ red-hot frontman chalks up some outrageous statistics on his way to a hat-trick against the Baggies, while Dusan Tadic is more sinner than Saint after spurning chances aplenty. Elsewhere, Robert Snodgrass shows the benefits of a central role under his new manager and we check in on the impressive figures being produced by Arsenal’s overlooked wide man.

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

      seriously even if aguero scores a hat trick this gw.
      Is pep going to play the same guys same formation next gw?
      he might chuck aguero back to midfield. or "rest" him on the bench.

      Breaking news! - Aguero is no longer a secure fpl asset any more.

    Tempted by..

    Hazard > Coutinho (lose some value in Hazard)

    Or

    Aguero > Kane

    To fund Holebas > Alonso

      hold. Haz has Hull, Cou has just returned. Kun has nice fixtures after Spurs. If I own Kun I would wait.

    I'd be right in saving my FT as have 0.0m ITB. Can reassess the Kun / Hazard situation then next week and maybe upgrade Diomande or Amat?

    Foster (Jaku)
    Jones Williams Alonso (Holebas Amat)
    Sanchez Alli Hazard Stanislas Phillips
    Kun Ibra Diomande

        Cheers pal, plodding along the past few weeks but managing a respectable 31K OR. Have been passed in my cash ML's though so thinking a change is needed and Hazard is top of the chopping block if he does nothing against Hull.....Kun not far behind.

        it is, but your grav ain't. I can only see grav on right of the page where all the posts are in order.

          That was happening the other day, and has before to me and others, site issue. Probably why Chelsea Guy thinks his posts are missing, he's probably scanning for his grav?
