Our latest Numbers Game article focuses on Everton, who many Fantasy managers are backing in their droves ahead of some appealing fixtures in the first 13 Gameweeks of 2019/20.

The Toffees sit top our Season Ticker over this time, meeting only two of the ‘big six’ between now and the end of December.

Not one of their first six away fixtures is against a side that finished in the top half of the Premier League in 2018/19.

The Numbers Game series delves into the underlying attacking and defensive statistics of last season and is only available for Members to read.

    Someone told the keeper that Eriksen would put it down the middle, you saw him acknowledge someone after it.

    Pulisic Is a must have

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      nope

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Thought this a while ago but might give it a couple of weeks.

    3. cravencottage

      He does look like the real thing

    4. Poseidon.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely not but considering as a punt - likely see how he does for a couple of weeks but could be very interesting at that price

      Auba might be better for first few GW

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

        I really don't see this. I feel Kane has the same if not easier fixtures and playing in what is likely a better team.. and looking more advanced and central in a 4231 where he is at his best.

    Muller has outdid Kane there!

  6. Pukki Party

    5.0 forward most likely to get most appearances (start or subbed on)

    Success? Long? Is Mousset likely to get gametime at all?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      Don’t go there

      Sheff Utd signing McBurnie now. I agree with WR

      1. Pukki Party
        • 9 Years

        Swansea legend McBurnie?

        1. Poseidon.
          • 7 Years

          The very same!

  7. cravencottage

    • 15 Years

    Could use some advice:
    A) Vardy and Wilson
    B) Auba and Abraham

    1) Pogba and Perez
    2)Fraser and Pulisic

    1. Kizza_10

      A

  9. HollywoodXI
    • 12 Years

    Why is Rico suddenly a better option? And KWP? Been out and missed everything.

    1. Pukki Party

      Competition for their spots injured

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I’ve just seen Foyth is injured. Who got injured for Bournemouth?

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Brookes

          1. HollywoodXI
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            But Brooks plays RM and Rico plays RB?

          2. SADIO SANÉ

            Lloyd Kelly

        2. I Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Lloyd Kelly, the new LB they signed.

        3. avfc82

          • 16 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Kelly, Adam Smith is still lurking tho so its not guaranteed Rico gets a run.

          1. HollywoodXI
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Ah that’s why I asked. I have Adam Smith in my current draft. This news makes me feel more confident he’ll start.

  10. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Did Barkley take a penalty with Jorginho, Luiz & Tammy on the pitch?

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yep - sounds like Willian will be on them though once he's back

      1. Markus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        From press comments?

          1. I Member
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Impossible for him to actually know that though. Can't be more than a guess.

            1. Rotation's Alter Ego
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              I promise you he knows more about Chelsea than anyone on here and anyone on Twitter. Wouldn't be surprised if he did know, but even if it is just a guess I'm happy with following it as a guess for now.

              1. SADIO SANÉ
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                like that time when Willian pretty much made up that he was getting the #10 shirt? 😉

                1. SADIO SANÉ
                  • 11 Years
                  6 years, 11 months ago

                  I did think it would be Will I am to be fair

                  1. Rotation's Alter Ego
                    • Has Moderation Rights
                    • 14 Years
                    6 years, 11 months ago

                    I'm still waiting for Bakayoko to get it 😉

            2. Markus
              • 16 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              I think it's a fair educated guess, suspected as much. Let's see if there's any noise after the event today - harder to take pens off someone who's just scored

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  13. Penguin

    Sterling & Wilson

    Or

    Kane & debruyne?

    1. Brian Boitano

      Sterling and Wilson

    6 years, 11 months ago

    Do you think kwp is really nailed?
    Will he start every game?
    I think there is a possibility alder plays RB
    Kwp is too inexperience to play vs man city

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years

      No
      No

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Can't think of a time when Alderweireld has played right back.

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe at Athletico before he joined Southampton. Hasn't got the pace.

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        He has before. Think he did for the Belgium team too. Aurier will play this season .

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years

      Audi cup champions - Tottenham Hotspurs!!!

  15. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I wouldn't get all hyped for Rico. I think Adam Smith is ahead of him.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Also Bournemouth =1st worst away defence last season

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      probably is, but who's playing RB?

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Stacey, new signing from Luton.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          well you can butter my arse if that happens

    3. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, I've seen this mentioned in one or two places...

      RB? Mempham Ake Smith

    4. I Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Won't Smith be playing RB?

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        That’s why I think too but he can also play LB.

    5. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Rico vs league 1 RB hmmmm

    6. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Could easily go with Smith and Fraser as wing backs. Never know with Howe.

    7. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I mean, if its bench fodder, then worth a punt to try gain a bit of value.

  18. The Overthinker

    Anyone considering going without Coleman/Digne?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      No Everton for me atm

    2. Brian Boitano
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Was flirting with David Luiz but conceding 157 shots in 1 game has put me off. Also he wasn’t interested in me.

      1. Poseidon.
        • 7 Years

    3. Poseidon.

      No but I could understand anyone that did.

    4. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Considered then did it.

  22. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    I half expected Spurs to all run around the pitch before piling on top of each other then 😀

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Cut them some slack, they got stage-fright 😉

  23. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Heaton definitely going to be Villa #1?

    1. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He's not going there to sit on the bench

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      i'd imagine so

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Probably the best 4.5 then imo.

    A) Sterling and Barkley

    Which options looks better?

  26. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I have this mini league opportunity

    25 people. £1000 to enter

    50% of winnings is split between the top 4.

    The other 50% is split to the manager with the most points each month.

    Would you do it?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      £1k to enter??? is that some kind of high roller league?

      Do you know the person running the league? If not, then no

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        This.

      2. Brian Boitano
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        To be honest the £ is tanking at the moment - £1000 will be basically a tenner by November

      3. FISSH
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yes i do

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      €1000 entry seems a bit low, could you ask them to bump it up a bit? Like maybe €10k or €20k entry...

    3. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
