The Big Numbers – Gameweek 1

Time to roll out our first post-Gameweek delve into the 2017/18 members’ data and assess some of the stand-out performers over the opening round of matches.

Tottenham’s top scorer misses chances aplenty as the transfers-out pick up pace. Man City’s front two and Liverpool’s summer signing from Roma arrive for analysis, while Chelsea and Palace’s left wing-backs also make the cut thanks to forward-thinking performances.

    No love for André Ayew ?.. personally I think he will get more than 150 points this season.

    1. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely not. Won't start when Antonio and Lanzini are back from injury

      1. _Jane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Dont think so. He is too good for West Ham to bench him and a great finisher.

        1. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          He's been so average since joining west ham. Strongest line up when everyone is fit would be
          Hart
          Zaba Reid Fonte Cresswell
          Noble Obiang
          Antonio Lanzini Arnoutovic
          Chicharito

            Hmm interesting. Seems then I have to wait before transferring him in, thx again

            Kouyate over Noble surely?

            1. Carlton_Goal
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

              Well koiyate is a better player, but its more likely that bilic will play noble since he's captain. My main point was there would be 2 holding midfielders

        2. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Antonio would be a much better option

  2. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Willy or Rambo?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ramsey

    2. gunnerboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ram

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Do you mean Wally (Walcott)?

    4. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Elliot is better.

    5. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Rambo

  3. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Mata or Ramsey?

    Have Lukaku and Valencia.
    No arsenal coverage

    1. gunnerboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Mata not nailed. Ramsey all the way

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Mata is not really an option

  4. White Hart Kane
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Mee or Suttner the best 4.5 defensive option? Already have Lowe.

    1. gunnerboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Mee

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I like the look of Suttner, have him in my team

    The Robot has made its captain selections. Gone for a surprise choice tis week
    http://Www.triggerlips.com

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      How does the robot work? What is the mechanism involved?

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I plug it in, it makes a few whirring noises, and out pops a punchcard with a few names on it

        1. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I meant is there any AI or is it just lottery?

          1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Good question .... it must look at home pitch, touches in the box over last few games, shots on goal, conversion rate, chances created, key passes, etc...

          2. Twelve years a slave
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            It crunches untold variables and it is all logic. No subjectivity involved, uses the same formula week for last Two seasons

            1. Dreams
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

              Cheers. Not being a smart arse but what is it's success rate?

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Not bad... Looks like obvious choice if not going for Luka

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I still think Aguero will go in again

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          It includes weightings for all the usual events,converts thm into points, totals them all up and whoever comes out top is the captain

          1. Dreams
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks.

  6. gunnerboy
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    The names KDB and Jesus have hardly been mentioned this week...

    Over the next two gameweeks I feel these two could explode. So much talent between them.

    1. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Hope so for KDB 🙂

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Thoughts on kun? Would you dump kdb for him?

      1. gunnerboy
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I've got Jesus. Praying for a big haul against Everton 🙂

        1. Luca Toni
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Same here .. He was good against BHA .. Unlucky not to score and one legitimate goal was ruled offside .

      2. gunnerboy
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        And no, I would keep KDB, at least for now...

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks bud. What about Tekkers? Keep or dump?

          1. gunnerboy
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            I would keep him. Can see him scoring against Liverpool espeically with their terrible defending from set pieces.

            1. SpaceCadet
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

              Cheers

    3. sunzip14
      • 7 Years

      Got both and waiting until at least GW3 finishes, before I touch them.

  7. Shrimpy
    • 8 Years

    Anyone have a link to Mark's team?
    Thanks in advance

    1. tafrère

      1. tattywelshie
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Oooo he's taken a hit already!

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Valencia to Jones and then Zaha to Mhkyterian

  8. Hochoki
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    who is the best 7m midfield option except willian??

    1. Ramsey
    2. Wijnaldum (have 2 home games)
    3. Mooy
    4. Tadic

    1. gunnerboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      For the billionth time, Ramsey.

    2. Shearer & Sutton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      For me Ramsey or Tadic.

      Perhaps I pick Ramsey over Tadic. Need to make that transfer tonight.

  9. RIDZ
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Anybody Zaha out?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, 2-4 weeks

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Source?

  10. Carlton_Goal
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Best 4.5 defender? (Already have suttner) liked the look of TAA but assuming he'll be dropped when Clyne is back?

  11. Littlefish92
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Who out of these for zaha ?

    A. Ramsey
    B. Xhaka
    C. Tadic
    D. Arnautovic

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Can you get an extra million and upgrade to Miki?

          Ah yes, very true

    2. Turbolag
      • 7 Years

      Redmond

  12. Don Van Vliet
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Will RLC's stock increase if Zaha is going to be out for a while?
    Does no Zaha equate to more points potential for RLC?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure on that but he is ahead of Carrol on the bench this week for me.

  13. _Jane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    If de Boer decided to play a possession based game liverpool attack will destroy them. Can see one of LFC attackers getting a hat trick.

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      De Boer was mentioning in his press conference about asking his players to play long balls against Huddersfield. Palace will show more fight against Liverpool imo.

      1. _Jane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Hoffenheim at home only conceded 14 goals in 18 games, no defeat and Liverpool could have had 6 goals cant see how CRY defense will turn good so fast

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Seen enough Salah C for me.

        2. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Don't know about hoffenheim's record but they were trying to play against Liverpool yesterday which is always an advantage for Liverpool. It's easier to shut the shop against them and win the game which can be done this week.

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah lack of counter attack options won't help the pool cause.
            After Kane last week might aswell fail again while kaku hauls again 🙂 Maybe C is not the place to look for diffs - going with the crowd - good or bad- will keep you in touch and getting it wrong hurts.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Hopefully Wijnaldum/Can

  14. Butters_lfc9
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Best replacement for Zaha?

    1. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ramsey or Ince as Zaha replacement?

      1. GMBC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        guys at leasy read the posts above. whats the point of asking a question for which answers are two posts above yours?

        1. _Gunner
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          That was a reply, the question mark is a typo

    2. Mini Mane Mo

    what happened to Ozil? unbelievable that Arsenal scored 4 goals and he wasnt involved in a single one.

  16. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    When we know more about Zaha injured? Is he surely out next gw?

  17. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Best Dann replacement for this defence? Budget 5m

    ddg elliot
    alonso bertrand dawson dann mee

    1. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Just bench and decide next week.

      I'm half tempted to play him to be honest, can see him scoring.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. I also have Benteke. Two palace players away to pool could be a disaster.

      Shear class, duh...

  19. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    who to captain? Salah, Firmino or Jesus?

    1. Turbolag
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely one of the Liverpool options. I prefer Salah.

      1. Rasping Drive

  20. Braca_Bez_Gajca

    Which keeper should I start this week Heaton or Elliot?

    1. Turbolag
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Never sit Lord Heaton

    2. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Heaton by an absolute country mile.

    3. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Lord Heaton

  21. sunzip14
    • 7 Years

    When is Clyne expected to be back in the starting 11? on FPL his expected return date is 19 August.

  22. bojack
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I'm still not over the fact that Kane has had 90k transfers out 😆

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Never mind that - look at all the numpties buying in Xhaka the Hacker.

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      expected imo. 12.5 and 1 point means a little exodus. Most look at points only, not stats 🙂

    3. C-Dawgg
      • 9 Years

      Haha come on man, you've been around this site long enough, you can believe it.

      1. bojack

        True.

  23. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    1. Ramsey in for Zaha.
    2. RLC in for Zaha (2.5 in bank after that).
    3. Brady in for Zaha (1.5m in bank).
    4. Other move(s).

    Begovic,
    Mee, Kolasinac, Jones, Yoshida.
    Willian, KDB, JWP.
    Kane(c), Lukaku, Firmino(vc).

    Elliot, Zaha**, Carroll, Dummett*
    1ft, 0.0m on account.

  24. Bunji

    Any Danilo owners worried about him starting against Girona? Mendy is looming...

    1. Net Gains
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No to be honest.

      Mendy will not start on Monday with zero minutes of preseason when he was not fit enough to be involved for even one minute yesterday.

  25. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Kdb to Eriksen to be the template move next week if Kdb doesn't explode!

    1. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Aye.

    2. Exdeo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      be patient, he will be one of the top scoring mids

    3. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Or Salah. I have Alli, no Liverpool

    4. nicoTours
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Indeed.

  26. Mikey44
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Foster
    Kolasinac Danilo Stephens Mee
    Ramsey KDB Willian
    Firmino Lukaku(c) Kane

    Subs: Elliot JWP Carroll Hunnemeire

    Is this the right team selection for GW2 or should JWP be in there for someone?

    1. Luca Toni
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      It's tricky however i prefer midfielders over defenders ..
      May JWP for Mee. ..

  27. Dream Killers 2.0
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Debating if I should keep hold of my free transfer for this week so I have two next week? Could start Carroll or Suttner for Zaha this week. What do you think?

    De Gea (Elliot)
    Bertrand, Daniels, Danilo (Suttner) (Long)
    KDB, Salah, Zaha, Gross (Carroll)
    Lukaku, Kane, Rodriguez

    1. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Only concern would be losing value on Zaha.

    2. GE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Same problem for me 🙂 think I keep the FT, points better than value.

  28. Afghanistanislas
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    A) Zaha to Ramsey (free)
    B) Zaha + Willian to Mkhitaryan + Mooy/JWP/Atsu (-4)
