The Numbers Game – Fabregas Under The Microscope

3 November 2010 1241 comments

Mark

By his own admission, Cesc Fabregas had the “worst first half” against West Ham on Saturday. Certainly, when a home win for Arsenal passes by without Fantasy Premier League Bonus Points for the skipper, you know that something is wrong.

A paltry 3 point Gameweek return for Fabregas left those who had played wildcards or spent points on recruiting him, feeling rather hollow; particularly given that the he was awarded the FPL captaincy by the majority of his owners. Those who resisted the Fabregas pull meanwhile, can feel somewhat smug by his return given that he later revealed that his hamstring remains a concern.

So just how badly did Fabregas perform in relation to his peers and his own high standards?

Very soon our Members will be able to analyse weekly Opta data so that player performance can be measured on a Gameweek basis; we’re testing that functionality right now. That form of analysis immediately comes into play when examining the potential of Fabregas in the light of the West Ham showing…

likely XI therefore:

god damn Nani, spoiling my weekends big point prospects!

So my team now is looking like -

Foster
Dann, Elmo, Coleman (Alex, Tamas)
Fabs (c), Malouda, Brunt, Bale
Drogba, Carroll, Berbatov

0.3 in bank and no free transfers. Still looking healthy for the weekend or not?

Just messing around with my team out of boredom, took Drogba out, my team looks sooo much more balanced. Its gone from:

Hart, Carson, Faye, El-Becks, Simpson, Dann Jara, Malouda, Cesc, Nani, Ferguson, N'Zog, Drogba, Chamakh, Carroll + 2.4

to:
Fabianski, Carson, A.Cole, Boeteng, El-Becks, Coleman, Dann, Malouda, Cesc, Nani, VDV, N'Zog, Chamakh, Hernandez, Carroll.

      you dont get hairy balls like mine without playing under 16 cup matches in the hail and snow. Or GAA matches on the side of a mountain with no shin guards and a howling gale, and pissing heat sponging spray rain and a big giant red mark on your legs everytime you get a sliotar or a gaa ball across you. Made me what i am today- a belligerent , bitter, pitch bully 🙂

You people are bunch of bitches... Nani's the only one confirmed out this weekend and maybe VDV. Though this Bolton game is very important for Spurs if they want to keep up with City, so VDV will probably get a start. That's possibly two players... OH NO!

I doubt many have Tevez and no one would play Jara this week anyway. Fabregas will surely start at the weekend, albeit he might break down half way. Elmohamady starting on the bench in the game where Bruce finally decides to play both Gyan and Bent? Wtf have you people been smoking?? Malouda only has a knock, no tear or anything and it's a big game for Chelsea... so he'll surely start as well. Now the only guy we have left is Bosingwa and well... you knew the risks when you signed him.

Rant over.
