With three weeks of player and team statistics to analyse and patterns starting to develop, our Big Numbers series returns for 2019/20.

Ahead of this Saturday’s deadline, we take a look at the data available to subscribers in our Members’ area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest to Fantasy managers’ and could help shape transfer decisions.

We’ve run down the stand-out figures in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could have a profitable Gameweek 4.

    Best replacement for Martial?

    A. Lanzini

    B. Maddison

    C. Mount

    1. MikeS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      mount easily

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C

    3. JohnnyCroat
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's back after the break, so no replacement. Two of who you've listed will play for Ingerland and likely come back crocked, as per FA crock-a-kid guidelines.

      1. Root
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        "He's back after the break"

        Source on this?

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A but McGinn/Cantwell worth considering to save cash

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

      everyone seems to have mount so maddison as a differential

  5. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who is the best Martial replacement from the following?

    A) Zaha

    B) F.Anderson

    C) Fraser

    D) Pulisic

    1. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B or d

  6. n-doggg
    • 14 Years

      B

  7. Drogba Legend
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What do we think? 1 FT and three flagged..

    Pope
    Robbo - Digne - KWP* - Montoya
    Salah - Sterling (C) - Martial* - Mount*
    Kane - King

    Button - Donkers - Lundy - Greenwood

    A) Kane and Martial > Rashford and KDB (-4)
    B) Martial > 7.8 midfielder for free
    C) Martial and KWP > Zouma/Christ + 7.8 midfielder (-4)
    D) Kane and Martial > Aguero + 6.8 midfielder (-4)
    E) Kane, Martial, KWP > KDB, City defender and Haller/Pukki? (-8)
    F) Something else..

    3. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      3 red flags?

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Negative, just Martial. But KWP didn't look promising and Mount flagged as well (not worried about him). Dropping Kaner really allows me to upgrade elsewhere/flagged players. Also, not having at least 2 City players scares me moving forward. Fixtures are exceptional.

        1. fantasyfog
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          yeah kane an issue atm with spurs injuries Erikson etc I got him.in to haul against Newcastle one game only, suffice to say hes gone

    4. PortoGuy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sort of in the same boat but without any FT and don't want to take a hit. So playing one of Kelly/Dendoncker/Lundstram...

      I'd suggest either B) Mcginn/Cantwell or F) Hold

  8. andrinho
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    a Aguero, KDB & Cantwell
    or
    b Haller, Sterling & H. Wilson

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B but with Mount if you don't have. Or Ceballos

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agree

    2. Lukaku91
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yeah b with mount

    3. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      b as it is as a differential

      1. fantasyfog
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        (wilson)

  9. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Wood-->Tammy as a differential hattie against Sheffield.

    1. Coys96

      Yeh

  11. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Start one. Currently below order

    A) KWP (ars, with possible injury)
    B) Greenwood (SOU, 50% chance to start after Martial injury)
    C) Dendo (eve)
    D) Lundstram (che)

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      None of the above - if pushed then D

    3. clodhopper

      B could start

  12. dontyouknowimloko
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Need some opinions please. Best two 5.5ish defenders out of this lot:

    a) Matip
    b) Emerson
    c) Van Aanholt
    d) Zinchenko
    e) any other suggestions

    to sit alongside Lundstram, Kelly and Pieters

    2. Wiseguy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      d followed by b

    3. Squib
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B and D

  13. n-doggg
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Robinson and martial to

    Mount and Maddison (-4)

    With a hit? One week punt then WC

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I would

  14. Coys96
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Dinge Zinchenko Kelly
    Sterling Mane Mount Cantwell
    Kane Haller Pukki

    Button Lundstram Dunk Martial

    1. Aguero -4 (BRI, nor, WAT)

    Martial + Kane -> Dendoncker + Aguero
    and Dunk -> Trent following GW

    or

    2. Kane (ars, CRY, lei)

    Wouldn't captain either in any of these games..

    1. MikeS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Kane I think now, as Kun only gauranteed to play Brighton then Jesus is back..

      1. Coys96
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Even if he's coming off the bench he can still score against Norwich + Watford.. It's tough

    2. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Assume you have spent wildcard? If not then 2 and reassess in intl break

      1. Coys96
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Used WC yeah. For Aguero, Brighton is the main GW though. I wouldn't get him in after IB

        1. MikeS
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Kane oftern scores against weak arsenal defence. I reckon it will be 2-2 or 3-3

          1. Coys96
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            This. Problem is he's then up against a tough Palace defence and then a good side in Leicester. Meanwhile Aguero will be playing the two worst defences in the league

  15. andrinho
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Transfer out:
    a King
    or
    b Wood

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      King

    2. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      wood

    3. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      king

  16. GE
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Martial -> Mount (-4) or just play Lundstram? 🙂

    1. MikeS
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      mount

    2. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      In the same boat myself. I would just play lundstram mate and hope Martial is back after the international break.

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

        Transfers are worth a lot so you may have right

        1. Rage Against The Raheem
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          They are mate, and that is what subs are for, and lunstram playing in mid and has chance of a goal so not the worst sub to bring on. Martial could be ok after IB but you could have another injury to sort so is best to wait and see what happens tbh.

  17. MikeS
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A. Martial to an 8.4 or under
    B. Keep Martial and play ceballos?

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Is A free?

      1. MikeS
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        yer free transfer already have mount, ceballos, KDB, Sterling.. No pool tho!

        1. Coys96
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Do B then and use 2FT next gw to get Pool players in for Newcastle 🙂

          1. MikeS
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            yer that's what I was thinking, thanks. Do you think pool will do well against Burnley or not this week?

            1. fantasyfog
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              pool potentially do well against anyone, burnley no mugs though

  18. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Laporte Robbo TAA Digne
    Trossard Sterling Salah Martial
    Pukki Jota
    (4.0 Dendoncker Greenwood Rico)

    0.5ITB + 1FT

    a) Dendoncker > Cantwell
    b) Martial > Mount
    c) Martial > Maddison
    d) Martial & Jota > Mount & Haller (-4)

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      D

  19. Skout
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    With Martial out how much game time can Greenwood expect?

    Worth starting him? He would be coming in for Lundstram

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Both are likely to end the game with 1 pt

  20. ZTF
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Fredericks, Greenwood or Rico to start this week gents?

  21. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Am I right in saying Mount has been pictured in training? Cheers

    1. Root
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That is correct

      1. myteamissheeeeeeeet
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Anything concrete mate?

  22. tommo1989
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pope Heaton
    Digne Van Dijk Lundstram Zouma Rico
    Martial Sterling Mount KDB Dendoncker
    Kane Barnes Wesley

    No FTs left, I want to remove Kane & Martial and somehow fit Salah in - would you wildcard?

    1. Eat Sleep FPL Repeat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Me yep

  23. Klaren
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Rico to Zinchenko for -4 or play one of Rico, Lundstram, Dendoncker, Greenwood?

    I usually don't take more than 2,3 hits a season but not even sure any of those can score more than 1 point this GW.

    1. Sharkytect
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Dendonker should get 2

  24. steinidna
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Heeyy guys

    Mount or Zaha in the long run?

    Thx

    1. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mount for me.

  25. JWilson3
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Considering I've got Pukki and Cantwell playing, is Diop out for Zinch/Emerson worth a -4?

  26. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Choose one, I already own King and Lanzini:

    A) F. Anderson

    B) Fraser

    C) Zaha

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I guess Anderson of those. Definitely not Fraser, maybe even go Harry Wilson.

    2. Klaren
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C

  27. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So I have Martial and Moura. No FTs left. If Martial was to be back for gw5 who would you remove?

    A) remove martial (-4)
    B) remove moura (-4)
    C) play Diop

    Would remove for Lanzini. Thanks

    1. Klaren
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I decided to remove Martial in a similar situation, I think against that Arsenal defence, Moura has a good chance of scoring/assisting even if he plays in the last 30 min.

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I think you’re right, but only if eriksen is on the field...

  28. jez_wright
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Martial + Mane -> Mount + Salah (-4)?

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just Martial to Mount. No need to keep swapping ‘pool mids, and definitely not advisable for a hit.

    2. FPLShaqiri
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yup keep the faith with Mané and just deal with Mount

  29. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Evening folks!!! Rate these 3 in order of who’s best/you thinks best to have going forward!!!
    A- Mount
    B- Haller
    C- Barnes

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one! Depends a bit on how many weeks but: Haller bottom because we just don’t have much data on him yet. I really rate Mount and he is cheap but Barnes is getting it done. For price, Mount top.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah it’s really close Mate!! If I did Martial to Mount this week means I could upgrade Wickham to Barnes only 6.9 max so no Haller and would mean keeping Jota and means I could play 3-5-2 or 3-4-3

  30. FPLShaqiri
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ignoring price (for FPL Draft) who is the better option:

    Lanzini or Flanderson?

    I think Anderson has slightly more goal threat, however doesn't Lanzini take set pieces?
