The Big Numbers – Gameweek 27

We turn to the Opta numbers next and roll out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article looking at some of the standout players across the previous round of fixtures.

Sergio Aguero, Jamie Vardy and Eden Hazard’s run of goals arrive under analysis, while we also cast an eye over Spurs and Everton’s recent displays in attack.

Meanwhile, cut-price midfielders from Brighton and Watford are finding form as both sides prepare for a run of four home matches in the next six Gameweeks.

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

    Kept Hazard for the haul.. now stick or twist?

    Or should I focus somewhere else? 2 FT, 0.1 itb

    DDG, Elliot
    Azpi, Mee, Daniels, Duffy, Zanka
    Hazard, Alli, Salah, Sterling, Choupo
    Kane, Wilson, Quaner

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Azpi + Daniels > VVD + Alder/Davies maybe

    2. DaddyPig
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I’d stick. He’s a quality player. Choupo and Quaner might need more attention.

    Morning chaps.

    So I ditched Kane for Kun for what was suppose to be 3games but Kun went mental and I dunno if it’s wise to sell him now.

    Fabianski
    Jones Otamendi Davies
    Salah Sterling Lingard Mahrez Son
    Firmino AgueroC

    Elliot - Mee Ogbonna Quaner 0.9itb 2ft

    A. Stick with the plan Aguero > Kane
    B. Sod Kane, upgrade Lingard
    C. Mahrez Son & Quaner > Gross Milivojevic & Kane and go 3-4-3

      Find anothe way to get Kane. Kane Kun Firm seems gold right now.

    Lots of talk about Eriksen on ScoutCast but would anyone consider Mane over him?

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

      No way, he has no form.

      Eriksen looked better than I’ve ever seen him last night, absolute class

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Ok cool.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I will watch their game tonight and the FA cup to see if he can get back to playing well and scoring goals. If he does, then i will strongly consider him.

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      All I really wanted was an excuse to get him in, really. This may be it.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        To get Mane? By me asking if anyone has considered him you'd now get him?

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Good one 😛 you know what I mean

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            No i don't, that's why i'm asking?

            1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Looking back at it, what I was trying to say isn't really self evident at all. The Eriksen goal has nearly convinced me to get him back in.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No

    5. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Mane is awful. Terrible pick.

    6. George James
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Would prefer Eriksen but worried about him being rested in the Huddersfield game 3 days before Juventus

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

      You can hardly say Mane is awful. He's out of form for sure.

  4. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    14k managers transferring Hazard out VS only 11k getting him in their team.

    He is on form and I think he will do well in the big games so i don't understand that rationale.

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It must be the fixtures I think. Man Utd and City away the next too.

      I’m more surprised about the Sterling sales given he’s priced lower and has 6 goals in the last 10 weeks as well as numerous assists.

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        *two

    2. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He can almost guarantee he won't score or assist in the next 2. Very poor v big teams.

  5. Bavarian
    • 6 Years

    Pogba >>>>> Eriksen or Mkhitarian????

    1. nonprophet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Chill bro. Two weeks til games

      1. Bavarian
        • 6 Years

        what are you doing here?

  6. balint84
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    for the rest of the season

    A) Trippier
    B) Mee
    C) van Dijk
    D) Fernandez

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Can you really decide on a player for the rest of the season ? Won’t you be changing for doubles and blanks as they become known ?

      1. balint84
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        have wildcard and free hit before the last 3 weeks, so until

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Impossible to say due to FA Cup impact on BGW31, but Burnley have good fixtures and no midweek cup games

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

      Vertonghen possible?

      Mee out of those...

  7. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling went off injured last night with a muscular injury. Pep didn’t appear to concerned about it

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      If he's out, it's WC time

      1. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Good luck once the big DGWs come around.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Probably was gong to rest him in FA Cup anyway

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It can’t be that bad if Pep didn’t even mention it

    4. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Why isn't anyone talking about this?

      Yesterday there were only some faint rumors but most seemed to think it was nothing.

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

    Just looked and it’s 10 days until the next GW. 🙁
    Oh well, daughters 6th Birthday today so a bit of down time is probably needed.

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      Good luck if you think your going to get any downtime on your daughters birthday! 😆

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years

        😆

        This man speaks the truth

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Yep, two young daughters/nutters in my mad house!

      2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years

        Especially with a handful like Peppa

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I’d be more worried about George 😆

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            True that. *shudders*

            1. DaddyPig
              • 9 Years

              Ha ha! Funny replies. Roll on next GW!!

  9. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Morning!

    Alonso, Mee and Ayew
    To
    Lowton, 4.2 def and Vardy for a -4?

    1. aleksios
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldnt.Lowton and 4.2 def might not start.

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        OK thanks, need a way to get Vardy or Firmino in!

    2. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Leaving me with:

      Adrian
      Lowton | Jones | Simpson
      Salah | Hazard | Sterling | Milivojevic
      Kane | Aguero | Vardy

      Elliot | Dummett | 4.2 def | T.Carroll

      1. aleksios
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I would ditch Haz and Alonso to Eriksen and VVD

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Even with the form Hazard is in? Keen to keep Hazard as he is a differential in my 75 point ML chase

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No way

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

    Morning all.80 pts behind in ML so:

    a) wc now,get differentials and surprise all.
    b) wc later as all will do and hope for the best.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      Hope for the best.. pray 2 times a day

  11. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What would you do if this was your team?
    Adrian
    Martina VVD chilwell moreno
    Salah shaqiri walcott
    Kane kun vardy
    Subs: Speroni jones b.silva

    My early thought is to bring firmino and toby for kun and moreno.
    And next week b.silva to mahrez
    Seems good??

    1. Super Silva Haze
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      You have a midfielder who is Awol

    2. Millie7
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      sounds good

  12. Super Silva Haze
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you lose in order to get Kdb in.

    Kane
    Aguero
    Salah
    Hazard

    1. Millie7
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      haz or aguero

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Haz

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

      none of them, city have a brutal short term fixture list

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard

  13. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Son owners. Is next week now the time to shift?

    Potentially to Walcott who plays gw31.

    Son looks a clear rotation risk.

    Thanks

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I'm waiting to see what happens in the cup and then maybe against Palace before I ship him, but I have other issues as well

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I’d switch to Walcott now

    3. BAMBAA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think I will keep for next 2-3 weeks if he starts the first one. He will go for Walcott/Delo before gw31 though.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Since I bought Wlacott I have had 3 points in 2 games off him ... I would have been better off stiking with Lingard

      ... this is where I am struggling with the ‘get x y z player because he has a game in 31’ when you can get more points by just sticking with better players (not saying Lingard is a better choice, but you get my drift) and ignoring 31

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        It worked with Shaqiri and whos to say walcott doesn’t score a hattrick next week. Cant judge it all on 1 player and 2 games...

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I know, but that is it now - ignoring BGW31 and playing a normal game 🙂

          1. FPL.team
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            I'm not and it is working ok so far 🙂 Hope Walcott does well this weekend too. Gonna get VVD in for Alonso too (another GW31 move).

  14. Millie7
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Adrian - (Eliott)
    Mee - Ota - Alonso* - (Ogbonna) - (Mbemba)
    Salah - Sterling - Lingard* - Shaqiri - (Carrol)
    Kane - Wilson - Aguero

    1.2ITB 2FT
    thinking of doing:
    Alonso > Vertonghen
    Lingard/Sterling > ??????

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Why wouldn't you do Alonso to VVD? Its a better transfer, plus he plays 31, plus he's cheaper.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        One thing that worries me about VVD is rotation.

        There are CL games now and Klopp has already proven a couple of times that he won’t take any risks with him.

        1. Millie7
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Yea i'm not sure on the game time as well....and he plays for Liverpool!!!

  15. Rhinos
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Was gonna rage transfer Alexis out but fixture wise he looks ok, Chelsea don't look good at the back then it's palace, cl games reasonably well spaced out too which is a big thing. Spuds Chelsea liv could all see rotation. Basically any excuse to keep such an explosive differential despite him being woeful value 😆

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think he’ll be in the points very soon. Don’t blame you for keeping.

      If you’re chasing, he’s a great differential

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Never rage transfer out anyone when half your team has two games before the next FPL game, no matter how enraged you are 🙂

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        yeah but the whole point of rage transfers is theyre knee jerk

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Just don’t do it, go for a walk, make a cup of tea ... anything

          It seems like a trend now on here ...

          1. Rhinos
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            ive no intention of making a move yet, the rage has passed

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Sweet 🙂

              My rage to get rid of the failing Wilson, Ake, Walcott etc burns bright 🙁

              1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 2 months ago

                Hold my friend. You can do it.

    3. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      United just not playing well enough for that amount of money. He might get the odd goal and assist tho.

    4. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I'm with Andy on this one, United just aren't gelling with him and I don't see Mourinho cracking the code anytime soon. He's got too much attacking talent for parking the bus, which is what he's trying to do.

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        still could eaauly have beaten new, keeper had a stormer. I don't think Mourinho parking the bus its just that for whatever reason Pogba is stinking the team out

    5. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I transferred him out before this gw. A risk but I wanted to upgrade Rodriguez > Firmino

  16. LSP
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Will this work?

    Pope Elliot
    Kenny Fernandez Jones Otamendi Alonso
    Milivojevic Lingard Son Sterling Salah
    Quaner Aguero Kane

    2 FT, 0.3 ITB

    Otamendi + Alonso + Lingard + Quaner > Van dijk + Lowton + Ward-prowse + Firmino (-8)

    Quite keen on Firmino + Aguero + Kane front 3.

  17. Legomané

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I just kept the Antichristensen figuring he'd eventually get returns and finally cracked this week, rage selling him prior to the 7 points he just got 😆 no more Chelsea defenders for me this season methinks.

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Lol that must hurt.

  18. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else eying up Vardy for their run of fixtures?

    Kane, Firm, Vardy front line looks tasty

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I can see a losing streak for Leicester now.

      Not for me

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      had him for 3 weeks now scored in each game he is 1 player who is fixture proof

  19. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Son > Eriksen?

    Chasing (37pts) in ML and rival has Eriksen...so doesn't make a lot of sense...

    But watching him the last 2 or 3 matches it feels like he's entering another purple patch, Son in decline.

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He is class. If spurs fixtures are good then why not

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Son out seems a good move. Moura and Lamela now challenging for consistent starting berths, I think only Eriksen is nailed there.

  20. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    VVD destined to get a 15 pointer next week. Shame I'm getting him in so enjoy the 2 points lads. 😀

  21. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Otamendi and Lingard to Hegazi and Walcott for free?

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Hegazi? Can you get a Swansea defender?

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I could yeah. Think they’re a better shout?

        1. estheblessed
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          For sure. Swansea seem air tight. Or even a spurs defender but then it's a tough one because of rotation

  22. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What to do here. I have £2.6m in the bank

    Pickford
    Azpil, Jones, Otamendi
    Shaq, Salah, Sterling, Deloufou
    Niasse, Firmino, Kane

    Elliot, Lingard, Ogbonna, Kenny

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Something with Ota, Azpi or Lingard.

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yes I was thinking Lingard to Mahrez

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      How many free transfers?

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Just the one but I'd happily take a hit this gameweek

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Upgrade Lingard to anyone? Sigurdsson, Walcott decent punts. Don't suppose you can afford Eriksen? Perhaps Mahrez?

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I can afford Mahrez yes

    4. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Lingard > Mikitaryan maybe

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Mhiki was terrible in that last game! Not sure I've seen enough evidence to pick him yet.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          An Everton or Spurs mf then

    5. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Ota downgrade and lingard upgrade the best bet imo. Possibly mawson/ fernandez and ericksen or maybe mahrez or sane for a punt?

  23. KingOfLuck

    6 years, 2 months ago

    Are there any confirmed DGW already now (or blank GW)? What GW´s are most likely and which teams?

    With the Free hit chip this year there are even more options.

  24. Weasel51
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What to do here, 1 FT and 0.1 in the bank.

    Pope
    Ota Jones Fernandez
    Salah sterling Shaqiri Son
    Kun Kane Wilson

    Elliot Lingard Ogbonna Wimmer

    I'm thinking Ota > VVD.....

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

      I did ota to VVD as well makes sense for a lot of reasons I think.

  25. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…

    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Foster
    Jones VVD dunk*
    Salah (c) sterling wally shaq albrighton*
    Kane firmino

    Elliot alonso* quaner* mbemba*

    2.7ITB 1 FT

    What should be my priority this week?
    1.sorting out my shit bench with the cash I've got?
    2. Cashing in on my 0.1 Alonso profit and upgrading albrighton to Erikson or Quaner to vardy?
    3. Hold and stick it out
    Thanks guys

    So, is Sterling injured after all?

    There is some chatter that suggests this, but no one seems to be worried about it, so maybe it's not worth mentioning?

    Did anyone watch the City game last night and can they confirm what happened?

    Hi to all, need some changes im my team: Pope
    Alonso, Jones, Daniels,Mee, Collins
    Ericsen, Son, Salah, B.Silva
    Kane, Firmino, Wilson
    Spurs players will show something next GW. What if i do Jones>Naughton and Silva>Sane for free?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think I would do Silva to Walcott or Siggy and get Mawson in over Naughton. Sané a rotation risk.

  28. Old Gregg
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Is a -12 a bit too much?. I've done all the maths and all the permutations (like matey boy who took a -12 who was on the scoutcast a few weeks ago).

    p.s I haven't done the above at all.

    Ota-Sanchez-Ligard-Kun- DCL
    to
    Mawson-Siggy-Shaq-Kane-Firmino

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Could work

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Why not. You only live once

      1. Old Gregg
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Absolutely. I still want to win me cash MLs though

  29. Tazah
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    does anyone else notice this trend that when everyone is hell bent over selling a player he scores points...... like this week christensen and west ham def or hazard after bou.... kinda funny

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      The FPL Gods like irony

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      A certain Spanish LB is the next I feels

      1. Tazah
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        yeah this is exactly what im thinking with alonso, hence i think i'll keep

  30. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Any early suggestions? 1FT and .3 ITB

    Courtois
    Alonso Jones Vvd otamendi
    Sterling gross salah martial
    Kane firmino

    Elliot niasse Schindler rlc

    1. Astronautovic
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Play niasse imo
      Maybe get rid of otamendi
      Otamendi to mawson or naughton
