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

    Oh Benteke...such an enigma. Although to be fair, it is only Bolton. But he's doing his best for me not to oust him.

      Well at least we can be certain he will do all he can to get back on the pitch having fought his way back in the starting line up, he won't want to lose that now ! I just hope this injury doesn't lead to missing games and end his run of form. Trying to remain hopeful that it's minor and they haven't ruled him out yet which is promising I guess.

    Hi all. Some thoughts on the following please. My team is :

    Foster - Pickford
    McAuley - prodyl - pieters - Alonso - browning
    De room - hazard - Sanchez - Phillips - pogba
    Ibra - aguero - Barnes

    I have 0.5 itb and 2ft
    My original plan was to do hazard and prodyl/pieters - > coutinho and baines. But cannot believe I'm about to say this but I'm a bit concerned about Aguero with pep.
    Has also might shine with Costa not there and I don't have enough funds to just get baines.
    Any suggestions?

      I shipped Kun for Kane and used cash freed up to partially fund a move for Baines. I didn't like doing it but I can't deny how much cash he absorbs for what has been pretty average production this season so far. I hope that changes just cause I like watching him when he's on point but Pep messed that team up pretty well this season, real shame. Anyway, I also have Haz and not really looking to ship him so didn't consider the alternative move you suggested.

          There has to be a lesson from Conte.

          A) don't balls me about and b) we won easy without you.

          My thinking anyway.

            Yeah, no guarantees he comes straight back in even if fit. Bench maybe.

    Is Williams over Baines a decent option for some Everton def cover at 4.9?

        More want Everton def cover and with pens he looks like the 5.5 option over Coleman...hence my Williams thoughts for the lesser £'s
