The “Big Numbers” brings a new approach to our post-match coverage for our members, isolating the key player and team stats from the weekend action, whilst still offering our speculative punt at the FPL bonus points.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Balo > Dzeko
    Nasri > Johnson
    Barry > Milner
    Toure > Lescott
    Zabs > Clichy
    Yaya > De Jong (depending on his slight injury picked up today)

    Man Utd
    Wellbeck > Hernandez
    Valencia > Young
    Smalling > Giggs (Jones dropping to RB)
    Nani > Park (outside chance)

    Arsenal
    Arteta Song> Frimpong, Benny, Coquelin, Diaby?
    Walcott/Gervinho > Arshavin (not likely with his form)

          Was looking like it could be very close... I was 1 point behind with my Ramsey to his Silva, and I have Rooney (c) for potential bonus points.

          Then Silva scored a tap in, and Arshavin failed to square for Ramsey when he'd have had a sitter. 🙁

          Gower has 3.5 PPG v Allen 3.4 which isn't much except Gower is 0.3 cheaper (4.8 v 4.5) which makes him easily the best value (assuming he starts).

          However.... I would look at Tiote - 4.4m. 3.2 PPG, about as nailed-on as you can get and more potential for a price rise. Considering he's likely to spend most of his time on your bench (I'm assuming) he'd probably be the safest option of them all.

          That's what I'm doing anyway 🙂

      Ironically his monster scores have come in the games where he's least deserved it.
