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.

    whom to play this week - RLC or Ake?

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

      I fancy RLC to be more prominent with Zaha out.

    2. IH21
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      This can't be a serious question

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

        why not?RLC will start, pools defence is bad, he can easily produce return. Ake managed a bonus point in defeat, he has atacking threat and is point magnet, but still can end upvwith 2 points...i am not 100% sure whom to choose

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

      Aké will score well this week I think. 8 points my prediction.

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

        This!

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

        ok I will blame you if he doesn't))

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

          I saw him play last week and he's the base of all the passing moves. The bonus point he achieved would appear to bear that out.

          If he gets a clean sheet. Maybe he'll get 2 bps.

  2. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Who to start?

    Atsu (Hud)

    or

    Mee (WBA)

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

      Tough one. Probably Mee.

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

    How does this defense look

    Foster / Elliot

    Kolasinac / Bertrand / Lowe / Suttner / Mbemba

    Worth saving 0.5 by bringing in Bavies instead of Kol or is it worth it for a nailed wing back?

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

      current setup seems fine to me

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

      Bavies for me

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

    Is Son a good option? Thinking Danilo -> 4.5 and Zaha-> Son/Pogba

    1. Another Hoops
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Son probably will be a good option but you can't gtd his playing time atm so for now maybe wait and see.

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

    G2G?

    Foster
    Ake - Stephens - Bertrand
    Kdb - Salah - Mkhi - Ritchie
    Kane - Lukaku(c) - Mounie

    (Elliot - Carroll - Suttner - Lomg)

      Really nice, I like that

  6. King Huth
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Play 2 out of the below.

    A. Mee
    B. Lowe
    C. Ake

    bookie cleansheet odd suggest AB... but C is the most expensive and highest threat!!

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

      AC

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

      AC

  7. Eze Really?
    • 10 Years

    Strategy for this year.
    I am throwing out the idea who I think will score points this year. When it comes to price rises and drops all my transfers will be determined early on by a tfr out with an imminent drop and tfr in on an imminent rise. My secondary consideration will be who fits in the side in terms of balance and who is likely to score future points. zaha to zakha is an early case in point. I hope to save a drop in price with a possibility of a .2 rise.
    Obviously when the season is well under way and the sale price will result in a lot of value i will not sell.
    Anyone else thinking along the same lines?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No I tend to go for players that I think will score well

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      It's a consideration but shouldn't be gospel in dictating your transfers. Plenty of wagons are red herrings and people chasing points. You have to be flexible.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Obviously common sense must prevail.

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

      no, you cant make transfers only fore prices' sake

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Not for their sake but a major consideration.

    4. dmcqt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      If you do this, you'll just be chasing points all season. It means you'll have plenty of players whose price will rise, but you won't be getting players in before their juciest fixtures. This is a recipe for high team value and a middling rank. Usually the people in the top handful each year don't have especially high team value. That said, early in the season it's worth the risk of trying to do transfers early in the game week, whereas later in the season it's worth waiting right up to the deadline to see if any new team news comes out before making a transfer.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        It was hard for me to post all I need to say. I will favor the price rise choice. They go up for a reason and it is clear what are silly bandwagons. I will look for value early on. later it becomes more logical.

    Lukaku's ownership over 51%! Don't think I've ever seen ownership numbers that high on FPL before

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

      What was Ibra this time last year?

        • 7 Years

        Thought it was around 45ish bit could be wrong

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Correct

        Suarez Ronaldo Kun

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Suarez and Ramsey have 60ish

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE FOR THE LAS…
        • 7 Years

        Wow didn't realise that! Especially surprised at Ramsey

    3. Mockingbird
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Im sure Mahrez is over 60% when Leicester won the league

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

        Think he peaked at 70.

  9. George James
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Bit confused?

    When looking at someone's squad value showing 100.4m with 0ITB would that mean they have 4 players who have risen in price by .1? That would make sense but my team is showing 100m and 0ITB and I have Lukaku who has risen?

    Am I missing something?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Look at your history page.

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Go to 'My Team'

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Go to 'Transfers' and check by viewing your team via 'List View'.
      This will tell you your player 'CP' (Current Price)' , 'SP' (Sale Price) & 'PP' (Purchase Price)

    Punt-o-meter (0-10......10 being uber punty)

    RLC for Zaha

    Pool game could be a goalfest. Benteke loves playing them. CP have decent fixtures for the 3 GW apres.

  12. Delhidynamo

    6 years, 10 months ago

    Suggestions for this lot

    Foster Elliot
    Francis Yoshida Mee TFM Long
    KDB Eriksen Zaha Fraser T. Caroll
    Laca Jesus Kaku

    No liverpool bothers me, but not sure where to get the money from for one.

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

      It's obvious: Zaha, KDB/Jesus OUT ->
      max 7.9m mid, Salah or
      max 9.0m mid, Firmino

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

        Tough choices to lose either this early.

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

    Daniels v Watford (h)

    or

    JRod v Burnley (a)

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 9 Years

      Daniels

  14. Sz21

    Ramsey or Brady to replace Zaha?

    Some pros for both of them actually.

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

      Brady if you want upgrade someone else, Ramsey if you are fine with rest of your squad

  15. Ninja Škrtel

    Jesus to Vardy? already own KDB....

    1. Ron_Swanson

      1. Sillet Bang
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Plan to do Mane to Alli. Easy to get in Hazard or Kdb when needed also

      2. Sillet Bang
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I could do Mane and Vokes

        To

        Firmino and Willian to improve the front 3?

    I had planned on saving my transfer but Zaha has scuppered that plan. Now considering a hit.

    I have no Man United cover.

    A. Alonso and Zaha to Davies and Mhiki,
    B. Alonso and Zaha to Walker-Peters and Alli/Eriksen, or
    C. Zaha and Lacazette to Mooy and Lukaku?

      A

      A, but a different defender

  23. Atimis

    GTG?

    Foster
    Kolasinac/Stephnes/Lowe
    KDB/Mkhi/Willian/JWP
    KAne/Kaku(c)/Firmino

    Elliot/Carroll/Suttner/Long

    Thought about playing Elliot over Foster but maybe it is safer like this.

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

      my bench order is quite different: suttner | tcarroll

      leicester conceded four goals -- think suttner could get an assist while tcarroll's side plays vs united

      otherwise, g2g!

    So, Siggy to Everton imminent, Barry to West Brom and Spurs are going strong in the end of the transfer window in order to sign 2-3 players.

    Things will be interesting.

    If Everton's players gel in 2-3 months time then they will be a serious force. With Bolasie up and running and if they buy a strong striker, next year they can maybe push their way into top-4.

    1. hannibalos

    2. HNI

      Plus bolasie is made of glass..he is as unfit as you get

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

      I'm not sure about Everton. Still don't feel they have the quality to reach fifth let alone fourth.

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

        And I am not even an Everton supporter eh, I am a Spurs one.

        But I am kinda starting to see a plan there.

        Klaasen, Davies, Calvert-Lewin, Pickford, Keane etc.

        They are getting some very talented youngsters and they mix them with experienced oldies and they have a very good manager. Now with Siggy, Bolasie when he is back and if they hold to Barkley and he starts really working (AT LAST) then they will be counted.

    Best Zaha replacement? Already have Willian, Ritchie.

    Zaha -> Mata YA/NO

    Really chuffed I took that calculated risk before price rising on Monday night.

    KDB+Zaha to Mikhi+Salah (got Jesus and no Man Utd cover).

    Sometimes you got to take a hit- a justified hit.

      Kdb isnt justified as he had scores of chances created..even more than salah..zaha is justified though

    Considering 4 possible replacements for Zaha

    1) Tadic (GW1: 2 Chance Created, 3 Shots) - On Fks, Corners [WHU hud WAT cry]
    2) Redmond (GW 1:5 Chance Created, 2 Shots) None [WHU hud WAT cry]
    3) Ramsey (GW1: 1 Chance Created, 4 Shots) None [stk liv BOU che]
    4) Ritchie (GW1: 1 Chance Created, 0 SHot) On Penos, Fks, Corners [hud WHU swa STK]

    Went through all imp stats, saw highlights and found tadic and ramsey most inform but Ramsey gametime and Tadic cutting edge are worries. Also if Newc score Ritchie will most likely have hand in it

    Thoughts?

    Praying Jesus does the business this week. Really don't want to sell, but price drops next week will force it
