The Big Numbers – Gameweek 4

It’s time for our post-Gameweek members article next as we assess the data from the previous round of fixtures.

Manchester United and Spurs midfielders feature in our analysis, as do Stoke’s weekend goal hero and Newcastle United’s new frontman.

A Burnley centre-half and West Ham wing-back also catch the eye, while we also check in with a pair of two-goal frontmen from Arsenal and Man City.

    Question for you FF experts.

    Solely focused on my money H2H league. Planning to WC in gw 8 and all of my rivals for the next three weeks have Alli.

    I currently have Pogba to get rid of and Kane and Erikson. Is it worth bringing in Alli and effectively neutralising him and doubling-up? With those fixtures this looks a good call.

    1. Fpldonny
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Sounds sensible but that means you cant have davies...i really think you should have davies

    2. Turbolag
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Think I'd rather get Ozil or Salah in that scenario. Also with good fixtures.

    Can I have some help? On WC would really appreciate some help!!!! 🙂

    A) Alonso and Kola
    B) Azpi/Cahill and Mendy

    and

    1) Morata and Firmino/Vardy
    2) Jesus and Firmino/Vardy

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      B & 1 with Firmino

    2. Lightbody
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      A and 2 with Firminho 🙂 ^

    3. Fpldonny

      A and 2 with firms

    4. Pegboy

      Best mid over the next 4 weeks, ahead of my WC.

      A) Alli
      B) Salah
      C) Hazard
      D) Mkhi

      1. KP02
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Eriksen??

  3. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    0 FT, 0.4 IDB

    Elliot
    Jones Bavies Cedric
    Eriksen Mkhi Alli
    Firmino Lukaku Morata

    Can Eriksen & Alli compensate Kane's absence?

    Still thinking who to captain here...I'm chacing league leaders so maybe playing C risky: Firmino or Eriksen. And really hopping that this team will do better than in GW4 with just 47 (I had Mane).

    1. drokkeh
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Good team - expect you to do well with that squad. Eriksen/Alli should be enough cover, although i'm pretty sure a Kane brace/hatty is coming soon.

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        I'll try to change Alli to Salah & Lukaku to Kane next week. 🙂

    RMT tool has Suttner over Kolasinac this weekend.

    I'm not convinced?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I'd probably start Suttner

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Kola did score against Chelsea at Wembley, and is a wing back though?

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      che or bou?

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      RMT is wrong.

  5. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Clark or Simpson?

    1. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Simpson

  6. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    A)Siggy/Coutinho + Rotate between Naughton/other 4.5
    B)Alonso + Rotate between Naughton and any mid upto 6.6
    Thanks in advance!

  7. The Cloud
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Replacement for Pogba (not including Mkhi):

    A) Pedro
    B) Fabregas
    C) Sane
    D) D Silva
    E) Other

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      A or D

      E) Mahrez

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Pedro the best of some poor options.

      What about Siggy?

      1. The Cloud
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Not enough for Siggy and the money i save can change trippier into davies next week if he trippier doesnt play at the weekend

  8. Caleb's Kitties
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Mane pogba to...

    A. Alli silva
    B. Mkhi salah
    C. Eriksen pedro
    D. Mkhi silva + 1.0 to upgrade cedric to kola gw6

    Rest of mids: antonio richarlison carroll
    Fwds: kane lukaku firmino

    1. Expected Toulouse
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      B

    2. The Cloud
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      B or C look good, eriksen if worth keeping and playing every single game because he is really consistent and pedro is also very consistent once he gets going, mkhi is good but salah may be rested before or after champions league games which has already happened in the qualifying and because you have lukaku i would go for C

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        C seems wise and safe

  9. Laserface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Is City coverage essential?

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      You can't have all the big hitters at once. Fund's don't allow it

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      It's essential to not believe in coverage.

  10. Sz21
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Mkhi + Fabs in for Pogba + Willian..

    Thoughts on these moves.
    I have exactly 15.2m to replace Pog/Will.

  11. juanmata8

    WC Team

    Elliott Foster
    Jones Otamendi Davies Cedric Mbemba
    Salah Silva Eriksen Mooy Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    Any suggestions?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Mkhi over Silva

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Don't like Otamendi and Abraham, rest looks solid!

    3. Turbolag
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      What formation is this? Seems like the bench is a tad expensive.

  12. EmreCan Hustle
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Who is likely to score most points tonight?

    A) Ganso
    B) Ghoulam
    C) Oliver Torres

    Thanks.

        Highest potential upside?

  13. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    RMWCT
    Foster(Elliot)
    Schindler Jones Davies Maguire (Naughton)
    Pogba Mkhi Alli (Carroll) (Chalobah)
    Morata Kane Firmino

    1. M00N
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Nice, but isn't Pogba dead?

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Its still got Pogba in it.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah whom to get?
        Thinking of getting Alonso and use spare for upgrade

        1. M00N
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Schindler to Alonso & Pogba to Choupo? Then play 433.

          1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            Cheers! Just what I was thinking!

        2. EmreCan Hustle
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Yeah Alonso is a good shout.
          Or you could try Mahrez.

  14. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Need to replace Mane and Pogba- which looks best ( Have Eriksen, no Kane)
    A: Alli and Mahrez
    B. Alli Doucoure Jesus ( for Chicharito) -4

    Thanks

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 8 Years

      A with Mkhi/Siggy

  15. FF Dirtbag
    • 13 Years

    Oh pogba... whyyy. Has it been said how long he's going to be out?

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Marinho thought 3 weeks

    2. The Cloud
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Mourinho said '4 weeks if he is lucky' but its a hamstring so i wouldnt hold your breath

  16. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Any help?

    A. Pedro
    B. Sterling
    C. Antonio

    1. The Cloud
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Pedro will be most consistent once he gets going

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      C

  17. Sims

    WC Team, hopefully get into top 100k in 3 or so weeks

    Elliot (Gomes)

    Jones Alonso Baives

    Mkhi Alli Salah Chuppo-Moting

    Lukaku Kane Hemed

    subs: Naughton, Carrol, 4m

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Nice

    2. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I'd turn Hemed into Abraham and then adjust elsewhere

      1. Sims
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        can't see abrham scoring more than hemed so just going with the cheaper option

        1. FPL ZB
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          I think Abraham will get a few over the next few weeks, fixtures and focal point

          1. *sigh*
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            Joselu better stats than both put together

    3. *sigh*
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Hemed to Joselu

    4. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I'm going to sound like a broken record, as I've been saying it to everyone, but I see more upside in a 5.5 defender than Moting or Hemed et al.

      Just go 4-3-3 or 4-4-2

  18. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Time to invest in Leicester defence? You'd expect a couple cleanies from the next five fixtures at least

    1. jay01
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Maguire deffo

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Yes I'd love Maguire right now, but I also want Mendy, and I'm also very happy with my current defence.

      1. jay01
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        May as well bring in maguire soon though he's still cheap

    3. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I think I'll be doing Yoshida to Maguire or Simpson this week.

  19. jay01

    Hi...I have no free transfers left but I have Trippier instead of Davies....should I be looking to make the switch to Davies?

    1. The Big Fella

      See who plays tonight and then what the press conference on Friday says

  20. Laserface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How many goals do you think the following teams will score over the next 5 gameweeks ?

    City
    Chelsea
    Leicester
    Liverpool
    United

    1. EmreCan Hustle

    Very random thing, but does anyone else think Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Daniel Ricciardo look more or less exactly alike?

  22. Bulldogs FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    best 4.5 option to replace Hegazi?

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Ward or Naughton but not for gw 5

    2. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Simpson or Naughton

  23. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Regardless of Pogba, I've got flags on Mbemba, Salah and RLC. Assuming I take a hit on Pog and Salah plays, which order would you play...

    A) Mbemba
    B) TC
    C) Naughton
    D) RLC

    Pretty messy I realise.

    1. FPL ZB

        Definitely?

  24. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Is Jones to Davies and Pogba to Antonio worth a hit? Only worry is that it blocks a route back to Pogba

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      wait until news of pogbas scan comes back. He might be out until WC time

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years

        I've already WC'd 🙂

    2. Sims
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      pogba is not worth having route back for

    3. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I think Jones will be ok for gw5 but another crap performance could see him benched

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Think Davies has more potential than Jones, who missed out of my we team to accommodate Pogba

        Will give me a starting X1 of

        Elliott
        Alonso *Davies Clark
        *Antonio Salah Mkhi Brady
        Kane Morata Firmino

    Could Alonso outscore Pogba in terms of PPG?

    Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah,

    *Luiz to Kola next week

    Only things left are :

    1) Who should I punt for 1 week before I get Kola
    2) Pogba replacement - Silva or Miki or other?

    Are there any stats on chips played by the overall player base? Just wondering if the slow price rises might have been impacted by the free hit chip.

  29. Turbolag
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    A. Pogba -> Salah
    B. Pogba + Gabbiadini -> Chalobah (starting) + Kane (-4)

    I feel like the hit is only worth it if Salah gets rested over the next 3.

  30. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Do we think Pedro is nailed?

    1. M00N
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I'd say no. Rotated with Willian on the wings or with a 3rd centre mid if they go 352
