The Big Numbers – Gameweek 6

Up next, we make our regular post-Gameweek assessment of the Opta data for our members.

The improved performances of Alvaro Morata, Jamie Vardy and Raheem Sterling come under close scrutiny, along with Man City’s relentless attack.

We also check out the impact of want-away midfield big-hitters Alexis Sanchez and Philippe Coutinho, before casting an eye over Marcos Alonso’s downturn in output as the Fantasy exodus on him picks up pace.

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

    Repost to gauge a few other opinions

    Begovic/Elliot
    TAA/Mee/Naughton/Davies/Lowe
    Eriksen/Salah/Gross/Atsu/TCarroll
    Kane/Jesus/Lukaku

    Should I WC? Other option I think is to save FT this week, and then Begovic -> Ryan, Jesus to Morata over the IB
    Longer term probs Lukaku to Vardy and Gross to Silva

    1. Rajveer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku > Vardy
      Gross > Silva
      Jesus > Morata would do..no need to WC imo

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers 🙂 Only issue there is to get Bego out is a -8... Or just hope he doesn't drop over IB!

    2. FC nelo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I would not get Lukaku out though. Got him out before last GW for Kane but got him back for Firmino now.
      Going Kane/Lukaku/Morata now. Silva is a nice pick though, but I think it will be the big hitters in attack that will score the highest. With maybe Eriksen almost up there with them.

      1. Rajveer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Lukaku will score but not explosive enough for my liking...bit like last year's Costa...

        Thanks 🙂

      Save FT and reconsider during the IT break

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Ta muchly

  2. Infamy, Infamy
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy, Alli and Jesus to Cedric, Mane and Kane for -8? Haven't taken a hit yet this year, but uncertainty on Jesus makes this seriously tempting. Have to include Alli to Mane for exact money and because already have 3 Spurs.

    Coutinho and Monreal are an alternative to Mane and Cedric.

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      -8 ouch

      1. Infamy, Infamy
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Trying to think of it as 1 Kane goal as captain .....

    2. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It might be worth it. Prefer the Coutinho + Monreal option. Presumable you will just swap out Mendy otherwise. If these are transfers you are going to make anyway in the future then taking the hit now isn't so bad. You'll get a couple of price rises and 2 transfers to use later anyway as compensation for the -8.

      1. Infamy, Infamy
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, simplest transfer this week would be to just drop Mendy. Jesus isn't nailed to start. Kane goal and potential BAPS might pay for the hit in just one week. Not in a hurry to drop Alli, but have Davies and Eriksen and something has to give.

    3. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Would get out another Spurs player if possible. If not, do it

      1. Infamy, Infamy
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I think Alli is first to go compared to Davies and Eriksen....

        1. skodaole2
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I rate him higher than Eriksen in FPL, respect your opinion though so go for it

        2. FPLzebub
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I think you're right. Kane, Davies, Eriksen are the Spurs assets to own.

    4. Hotdogs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus was subbed off early for CL so he should start this weekend

      1. Infamy, Infamy
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, he should start. But more likely to be rested after International break than Kun and Kane is at home to Bournemouth.....

      2. J T
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        He was subbed off because he was crap.. I can see him sitting on the bench and playing a cameo

  3. Ajax Down Trees
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Foster - Elliot
    Alonso - Davies - Jones - Mee - Mbemba
    Eriksen - Silva - Mkhitaryan - Choupo - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Abraham

    0.3 ITB, 2 FT, need to use one not to lose it but struggling to find an improvement, thoughts?

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, serious team that... maybe downgrade mid and upgrade tammy?

  4. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Had a brain dead moment there on the previous page so will throw it out there again?

    A) Willian -->> Ramsey
    or
    B) Jesus -->> Lacazette

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Probs A for me, but B also solid!

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A if Pedro fit, otherwise B.

    4. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all, unsure whether to go WC over Int break as well which makes it even more difficult.
      Jesus to Laca to Morata maybe the way to go but Willian is so crap as a fantasy option, can't wait to get rid.

    5. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      a

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

      A

  5. jimmy.floyd
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Cahill nailed?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lol. Definitely

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He should be. Surprised to see him benched last time. Maybe rested for these 2 important games?

    3. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      not when Luiz is back. Rudiger is much better

      1. J T
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Nonsense. Rudiger will be used as utility to give the wing backs and Azpil rests

    4. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yes he's our captain he won't be dropped

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

    Chances of prices rises of these players this week?

    1) Azpilicueta
    2) Vardy
    3) Silva
    4) Morata

    Silva & Morata have already had 1 price rise each.

    Bottomed Repost.

    1. Gavometer
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy and Silva for sure

  7. Jollyswagman
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Elliot
    Moreno - Davies - Kolasinac
    Carrol - Mikhi - Silva - Alli
    Kane - Aguero - Firmino

    Two FT

    Probably doing Firmino > Niasse and Silva > Mané then I can probably get Azpi + Hazard into my team for GW8.

    Thoughts?

    1. FC nelo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Niasse feels like too soon. Would wait to make sure he is nailed. He has played 45min and did a good job, but would not take that for nailed.

      1. Jollyswagman
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I dont plan on using 3 strikers though, would go for Hemed but he's most likely getting suspended.

  8. Stevie B
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What would you do with this lot?

    de Gea (Elliot)
    Davies Dawson Otamendi (Fernández) (Löwe)
    Mkhitaryan Eriksen Choupo-Moting Atsu (Carroll)
    Lukaku (C) Kane Vardy

    Is the midfield to light?

    Thank you!

    1. FC nelo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Perhaps. But we all go different.
      I have Kane/Morata/Lukaku up front with Mahrez, Salah, Miki and Choupo in mid. But as you can tell me defence is as cheap as it gets... So who really knows what way is the way to go.

      1. Stevie B
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thank you for your answer. This was kind. Thank you!

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Most knee jerk-populated team I've seen.

  9. R.C
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Who to Captain?

    Foster
    Alonso Bavies Kola
    Salah Alli Mkhi Silva Richarlison
    Morata Firmino

    1. adey70
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Go maverick: Foster

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Nada. Marco Silva is gonna score.

    2. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Alli

    3. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nice Mid, somewhat tempted by a 352 for some reason!

      I'd actually be tempted to go for Kola!

      More seriously Salah has been consistent so could be good cap'n material

  10. Sotamendi84
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Somw advice pls
    A)play daniels (LEI) save FT
    B) daniels > monreal/mustafi

    1. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A, two weeks then with 2 FTs will be perfect

  11. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Foster (Elliot)
    Cedric, Davies, Kolasinac (Mariappa, Long)
    Ritchie, Mkhi, Ramsey, Salah (Carroll)
    Kane, Lukaku, Chicharito

    2FT, 1.1 ITB

    Not sure what to do. Upgrade my 4.0 defenders? Long > Ward?

  12. Kushal
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Sorry for long post
    My current team looks like this
    Ddg
    Alonso-kola-trippier-walker-bertrand
    Salah-mkhi-ritchie
    Kane-morata

    Elliot-hemed-rlc-mesa
    0.4m itb
    And is doing farely well

    Would u reckon international break wc to this?

    Elliot-krul
    Azpi-jones-stones-monreal-mbemba
    Salah-silva-ritchie-rlc-mesa
    Kane-morata-lacazette

    0.1m itb

    Or should i just do hemed > niasse next week?

    1. Koolswan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Save or hemmed to Niasse if needed.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      very tough
      kane/mkhi

  14. MisterMaster

    i need aguero to rise one more time to do my transfer , what's the chance of that happening

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      not likely, hes being sold more than transferred in currently, if he gets a decent score at the weekend he'll go up for next week

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Plan another transfer.

    3. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Could get a rise on Friday night when casuals will watch his points during the last 2 GWs and get him, not very possible though

  15. Uncle Gamst
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    a) Atsu, Alli
    or
    b) Ritchie, Mkhitaryan

        Cheers - really uncomfortable getting rid of Alli, don't you think his fixtures look sightly better thank Mkhitaryan's or is it that Ritchie is a better option than Atsu?

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      1. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        The actual players in the game. Probably a long shot

      Morata scored a hatrick & city face Chelsea.. also minutes last night.. accumulating factors I guess!

    Mendy and Chalobah to Walker and RLC or too dull transfers?
    Im sure Az agrees on Walker 🙂

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      i would just do mendy for now, its a transfer that needs to be made and you will still have 2FT next week
      save the RLC one for when you have 2ft and no transfers really needed

  21. EWH2020
    • 10 Years

    Alonso to who?

    a) Kola
    b) Azpi
    c) Otamendi
    d) Other?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Bellerin.

    2. Cabellafan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A for me, most attacking and good fixtures

    3. One Man
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Azpil or hold.

  22. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Those going with a 4 man midfield on their gw8 wildcard, what does it look like?

    I can have 2 of salah eriksen silva...plis Ritchie

    But not sure who else is worthy of a place....thanks

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      i honestly don't think it can be done well and still maintain 3 big guys up top
      the 4 man mid you suggest is as good as it can get i think
      what front 3 you thinking?

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        It's not possible to have that midfield and 3 good strikers together with an average defence

        I am looking at Kane morata and vardy

        But that means I'll be best suited with a 433 and a midfield of something like Eriksen silva Ritchie (or salah in stead of Eriksen or silva)...

        1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I'm along the same thinking for when i wildcard, 433 with a solid defence and 3 decent mids, maybe silva, salah, ramsey

          1. Flynny
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Yup..ramsey may be a good shout as not convinced if want Ritchie on a 3 man midfield.

            Eriksen v salah for one spot is a tough call.

            Already got Kane but think Eriksen is best mid in the game.

            Maybe I'll explore options with eriksen silva ramsey kane morata vardy.

            And then eriksen to salah after lpools tough gw8 and 9 fixtires...

  23. The Head-Ake
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    1) Kola or Davies?
    2) Krul and Elliot + Money or Foster and Elliot?
    3) Ward or Simpson?
    4) Cedric or Hoedt or Maguire?

    1. Gregor
