The Big Numbers – Gameweek 30

We check in with the Opta data next and roll out our usual post-Gameweek assessment of the weekend’s standout performers.

Huddersfield Town’s target man and a certain Liverpool winger both up their attacking potential ahead of a reduced Gameweek 31.

Meanwhile, big-hitters from the Leicester, Spurs and Arsenal midfields stake a claim for our upcoming Wildcards, while we also check out the impact of Chelsea’s new frontman at Stamford Bridge.

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

    So Kane's swelling won't go down till May. I guess he may never play ever again

    Who would you rather choose to get in for a hit?

    A) King - have Stan and Wilson
    B) Mounie

    1. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I went Mounie

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      B

    3. Mo Mané No Problems

    My GW31 team like this:

    Daniels VVD
    Shaqiri Salah Walcott* Siggy*
    Firmino

    with 1ft, who should I get?
    Wilson or Stanislas?

    and Zaha worth a hit? or who?

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

      Stanislas by a mile.

      And coin toss regarding Zaha.

  4. Killitzer

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Morning. Last week was a shocker and this week could be too with Walcott and Ibe doubtful and Niasse maybe playing!

    Pickford
    Schindler, VVD
    Salah, Walcott, Ibe,
    Firmino, Mounie, Niasse

    Will WC for GW32 but anyone else worth getting for a hit? Thinking Stanislas. Don’t trust Everton for a clean sheet.

    Cheers

      Need your subs really but one it for Stan seems ok to me

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        *one hit

      2. Killitzer
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        None of my subs are playing and mother of all wild cards will be played come Saturday

          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

  5. Joggers Nipple
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Yes im one of 'those' who believes/ hopes a -4 this week is a -2. Its desperate times!

    Aguero, Kane, Lingard to
    Mounie, Firminio, MID (-8)

    Lossl
    Vvd Bauer
    Salah Son Ibe MID
    Fiminio Wilson Mounie

      Shaq, Everton suck away from Goodison.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, he was my first choice but Zaha tempting me now

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, im hoping, but doubt it, that Ibe gets a start for BOUR cover in mid. No chance is there???

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          hahaa see my post below. now you cast a doubt on my team this gw... 🙂

        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, he is about the only creator in that side and is so involved! Shaqui seems the sensible, cover others, Zaha the risky one with upside

        1. MaverickNILRG
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Did I mention that Everton suck away from home? Lol.

    4. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It depends if you are playing WC in week 32. Shaq has terrible fixtures, Zaha has much better ones so better for end of season run.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, yes will WC in 32/33

    5. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Stanislas would be my choice. Also like walcott, shaq, zaha, pritchard. Wildcard status?

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, WC in 32/33

  6. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Going into gw31 with this 7, not ideal but no wildcard so I need to be careful. No hits taken.

    VVD Schindler Francis
    Salah Ibe
    Firmino King

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      mmh could be 6 not sure about ibe....

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      with no WC in mind that seems fine.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        very very true

    3. THFC4LIFE

      I'm going in with:

      Pickford

      Firmino Niasse

      In reserve:
      Ryan
      Davies Maguire Lowton

      Kane

      Saving a ft

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Looks sound BL. One thing, you keeping Kane and have a FT? Do you still have WC?

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Na mate played it in gw29. (it's me champ of k&n btw. Lost a bet 😀 )

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Kane is going for a boomerang next week

            1. Joggers Nipple
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              without WC good move

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        6 years, 1 month ago

        Rest of squad is

  7. Jayben23
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    GW31 team looks like this,

    VVD, Kenny
    Salah Shaqiri
    Firmino Quaner

    Have 2ft and 1mil itb.

    What should i do? What is the best players to get for this GW? I Can afford to take a hit.

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      King and Zaha are decent punts.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      With 2fts Id prob get Mounie and Stan

      Then up to you on -4 for Coleman/Baines or the STOKE/ HUD GK

  8. dark91

    Kolarov played a very good game yesterday. Makes me wonder why Man City would keep the always-injured Kompany and lose someone like Kolarov !!

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Well they play different positions for starters 🙂 Also managers want specific things from players on the pitch. Kolarov is great but obviously not what pep wanted.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        yes he s doing amazing for Roma but wasnt in pepe s plan obviously. I love this Roma team by the way.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah quality

      2. dark91
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He is playing very forward with Roma and has an eye for the goal as well so can't see why Pep would get rid of him. Might have kept him as a sub or rotation player but he looks to be enjoying life in Rome so won't complain 🙂

    1. TooDifficuIt
      • 7 Years

      lucky, 48 and i'm out

  10. Legomané

    Morning DZ - thoughts on this plan appreciated 🙂

    [Main blind spot is potentially no GK next two wks if Heaton is back...would have 0.5 spare for a Pope/Elliot upgrade, though Kak and Auba rising could sting that]

    Kane > Firmino confirmed.
    31: Eriksen RLC > Zaha Stanislas (-4)
    32: Aguero Wilson > Lukaku Aubameyang (-4)
    33: WC
    _
    [Pope Elliot]
    VVD Schindler [Alonso Chilwell Ogbonna]
    Salah Milivojevic Zaha Stanislas [Son]
    Firmino Wilson [Aguero]

    1. Page 302
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm, two thoughts:

      - RLC is back, apparently. He didn't play vs Chelsea because of parent club rule.
      - Two (-4) and then an immediate WC... gives your players very little time to pay the hit. But I totally get it, with Kane injury, and Aube+Lukaku is well worth the hit.

  11. TooDifficuIt
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    J.King or Mounie? and what happened to Depoitre is he injured or could play the next game?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      dropped. There is a small chance he could start but i think Mounie is safe for this week imo

  12. GE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Have 2FT.
    Sterling and B. Silva -> Stanislas and Shaqiri the best moves here?

    (2FT, 0.4 itb)
    Hennessey
    VVD
    Salah/Walcott/RLC
    Firmino/Wilson

    Bench/don't play: Speroni, Alonso, Davies, Duffy, Ogbonna, Sterling, B.Silva, Kane

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Personally i would be shifting Kane and B Silva

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Kane out long term? King in?

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      BSilva RLC > Stan Shaq better.
      I'd keep Rahzzer if you've any value tied up. Could be excellent differential v Everton.

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        RLC could suddenly play? Bought him at 8.5 so have only 0.1 tied up in him

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I'm selling unless Roy ecxplicitly says he'll start!

  13. Aaaatsu

    Question regarding the FH chip:

    If I activate it now. Can I play around with my team transferring in and out as I want like when you have activated WC?

    Or, is the first team I have when I activate FH the team I need to have.

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I would imagine you could tinker away to your hearts content.

      1. rainy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Seems so

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

      Play around as much as you like

    3. Page 302
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, I've been tinkering away since the weekend. Mind you, the excitement of switching Pritchard to Walcott and back wears thin quite quickly!

      1. Aaaatsu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Haha 😉

        Thanks for the reply, guys.
        FH activated..

  14. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    FH team:

    Butland - Pickford
    Coleman PVA Baines Dawson Ake/Schindler
    Salah Mane Shaqiri CM Zaha/Stanislas
    Firmino King Mounie/Tosun

    How's she looking?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Id lose Dawson Choupo and Mounie

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Nearly agree, for me lose Dawson, Chopu and Tosun

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

        The main aim is to use differentials for this game, because many wouldn't field more than 6-7. If they do well then it should push many well up the rankings imo.

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

          The aim should be getting players that are likely to score the most ... not everybody will have them all so that is your differential ?

  15. Joggers Nipple
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If a rival has activated the FH does it show up as 1 transfer made? Im 99% thinking no

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      depends if he did the transfer first or hit FH, it will show as zero if he hit FH first

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No - you should be able to tell if they have an excess of money in the bank now as they would likely have lost Kane for someone much cheaper i.e. King or Mounie

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Go to GW History and it says Free Hit activated GW31 😉

  16. Dont Shoot
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus nailed 2018 years ago. Now also (in PL)?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ha, Aguero could be back next GW

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

      Looks like it.
      Jesus died when he was 33. So take that off the 2018. :o)

  17. Hotdogs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which 2 would you pick for this week only out of

    A) Stanislas (WBA)
    B) Shaqiri (EVE)
    C) Zaha (hud)

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      AB
      Should play close to 90 min

  18. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A. Rambo to Shaqiri
    B. Kane to Wilson (or other non-Firmino forward)
    C. Both for -4
    D. Something else?

    I currently have 7 starters: 3 Liverpool, Theo, Lossl, Francis and McArthur

  19. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How would you improve this team?

    Courtois Elliott
    Otamendi Dawson VVD Duffy Kenny
    Salah Shaqiri Walcott Milivojevic Van La Parra
    Kane Firmino Quaner

    1 FT 9.0 ITB. Plan to WC Gw32 or 33 and FH Gw 35

    Thinking Courtois > Butland or Lossl. Any better suggestions?

  20. balint84
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    i can't choose between Mounie and Zaha.

    I don't like the 3-4-3 (with Mounie), but also afraid of limited gametime of Zaha. 🙁

    A) Mounie
    B) Zaha
    C) buy Mooy

    1. Hotdogs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      What does the rest of your team look like?

      Probably Mounie for me

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        have 9 players, have 2ft, no problem, but no any Palace players.

  21. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsey/Hazard+Simpson+Kane
    >>>
    Stanislas,Baines,Tosun-4?

    Would give me 11 for this week

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wc on gw 32?

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

        No WC or FH

        1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Any planning transfer for gw 32?

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

            To be honest no. Not been following too much the last few weeks. Taking it as it comes now.

    2. Page 302
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch! If no FH or WC I would not eve try to get 11 out in gw31. Play 10, or even 9, and get your team in (reasonable) shape for 34, 35 and 37.

      1. Hotdogs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        this - I wouldn't try to fill up a starting XI for this week (hits or otherwise) without a WC. Not worth the hits you'll have to take to transfer them back out later

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

        Sounds like good advice

  22. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kane & Elliot > Mounie & Butland/Begovic (-4) would leave me with this;

    Butland/Bego
    Coleman VVD Zanka
    Salah Walcott Mili Shaqiri
    Quaner Firmino Mounie

    Worth it?

    1. YoungPretender
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      WC in 32

  23. Kabayan
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Need your opinions here...
    A. Crouch +4
    Or
    B. King / Mounie
    FT will use for Sterling => Stanislas
    Thanks

  24. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Chance of the highest points in 31?
    VVD + Shaqirii
    or
    Mane + Schindler

  25. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Definitely getting Stanislaus.. .

    Who is best to join him?

    A...mounie

    B...bou double up with king

      King vs a leaky Baggies defence

    Which move?
    (A) Son to Zaha (-4) (lose 0.1m to get him back on WC)
    (B) Alonso to Baines (-4) (lose 0.2m)
    (C) Kane to Mounie (-4)
    (D) Kane to J.King (-4) (since he has a good fixture in GW32 it may actually allow me to WC in GW33 instead, or at least have that flexibility).
    (E) Don't take a hit at all.

      D maybe, son is essential as he can be deployed as a fwd in Kane's absence

    Can Willian and Alonso outscore Hazard and cheap defender in upcoming weeks? 😮

      Willian's naildness is the main issue , recently looks like he is a regular but I never know when he will be dropped

    This Kane to _________ move for 31 is one of the most interesting of the season. Head says King... but Rondon and Benteke are really tempting me. Hard to play safe when the devil in you wants to dance in Venezuela.
