The Big Numbers – Gameweek 27

We turn to the Opta numbers next and roll out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article looking at some of the standout players across the previous round of fixtures.

Sergio Aguero, Jamie Vardy and Eden Hazard’s run of goals arrive under analysis, while we also cast an eye over Spurs and Everton’s recent displays in attack.

Meanwhile, cut-price midfielders from Brighton and Watford are finding form as both sides prepare for a run of four home matches in the next six Gameweeks.

    Morning all.
    Ling to Eriksen for a hit?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’m looking at Pogba to him but waiting on blanks to be confirmed first

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Would you not get him if he blanks? You’d still get three games out of him.

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I will but if a another decent option becomes available for 31 I might get them instead or even if spurs end up playing that just cements my decision

    2. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeh.

      Alonso to vvd. Lings to Erik.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        That’s the move.

    3. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd only get erikksen if he plays central. He's a machine in that position.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn’t no before then.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Know

  2. Reckoner.
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Alonso & Dunk > Van Dijk & BDavies
    B) Alonso, Son & Quaner > Robertson, Carroll & Firmino (-4)

    B would mean a switch from 3-5-2 to 3-4-3, I'd then have enough funds to do Dunk > BDavies the week after.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one. I’m looking to get in a Spurs mid.

      1. Reckoner.
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        My thinking is, already have Kane and if I'm getting BDavies in as well maybe Spurs overload.

        Been thinking and maybe the move to do are:

        This week: Alonso & Dunk > Robertson & BDavies
        then reassess the week after and maybe do Quaner + 1 Mid > Firmino + Bench fodder.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I like that.

  3. Numb
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    City triple GW would be massive! But even if it does happen, how many players would play all three?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If it's GW37 and they have already won the league (likely), probably no-one.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ha. Oh yeah.

      2. Numb
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah true. But the temptation to use the TC on them would be too much!

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Probably depends also on if they have FA Cup final and/or CL final coming up - if they do (and they have won the league) I can't see any of their big players playing 2 games within a few days, let alone 3!

          1. Manamongst
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I´d scoop Brahim Diaz for those games...

    2. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      ederson??walker??

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        or maybe aguero if he chasing golden boot

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just Sterling

    4. mookie
      • 10 Years

      What needs to happen for a City triple GW?

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        City to draw with Wigan this weekend!

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          And progress in the CL

          1. mookie
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            How far?

            1. Numb
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              It's complicated

              1. mookie
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 1 month ago

                It sure is. 🙂

        2. mookie
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Hopefully Pep rests the stars on Monday then.

          1. Manamongst
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Brahim Diaz

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ssshhhh ... but getting 3 City in on a WC for a triple game week BB in 37 would work fine - probable get 180 minutes on average out of each of the three players ... but it seems most managers on here are untangling their BGW31 team with their WC in GW32 😉

  4. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    RLC to McArthur?
    DDG
    Alonso Jones Fernandez Chilwell
    Salah KDB sterling
    Kane FIrmino Wilson

    Elliot dunk Lingard Mcarthur

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      McArthur a good 5th mid for bench but wait and see if you starting 11 need attention first after FA cup games

  5. KeepCalm
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Guys, who in your opinion are the best differential defenders for the upcoming weeks..?

    1. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Vertonghen
      More so than VVD

    2. Jarnathan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      VVD, Mustafi, Martina - all low ownership, nailed with excellent fixtures until the end of the season

      1. KeepCalm
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Martina is an interesting shout..

      2. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So Martina might be nailed?

        1. Jarnathan
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          He's played 90 minutes a game since GW14. I don't see Baines replacing him any time soon.

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Baines is club captain and a Toffees legend. He is straight back in when fit

            1. Jarnathan
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              I agree, so my original statement 'to the end of the season' doesn't can't apply to Martina, but KeepCalm wants someone for a couple of weeks - so, perhaps its still a decent shout.

    3. ooooo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      VVD

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A. Alonso out (VVD)
    B. Chilwell out
    C. RLC out (Kenedy/BGW'er)

    2. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can you do Alonso + Wilson > Firmino + fodder?

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Actually, on reflection, that would leave you with a v. weak defence.

    3. WVA

      B

  7. Ohh1454

    Thoughts on lingard, quaner and ederson > ibe , firmino and Fabianski?

  8. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How does this sound over a couple of weeks?
    Alonso + Lingard + RLC to VVD + Mkhi + McArthur

  9. Now I'm Panicking

    Can anyone recommend a tolerable rom-com to agree to watch with the missus tonight? Something available on Sky Cinema preferably - none of the "classics" as she would have seen them before (about 100 times each).

            Haven't seen it. Sucker for a *good* romantic-comedy/drama so I'll add it to the watchlist.

      Ooh maybe try ‘In a World’.
      Love that film. It’s a comedy with just enough romance so that your missus won’t see straight through you. Both films mentioned have Lake Bell as the lead, one of my favourite actresses.

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Horseman...great flick. Saw that one in the theaters. Love Lake Bell and Rob Corddry. Crazy, funny movie. You a fan of the now ended Children's Hospital? Corddry's thing? So nutty, and funny.

      Lots of great suggestions, but Sky Cinema seem to magically have none of them at the moment apart from the couple we have definitely seen 🙁

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I just checked actually. The selection is awful. Unless you like straight to tv Jenifer Lopez films.

    What’s the sudden rush to get rid of Alonso? Is his injury serious?

      and the tough fixtures ahead.

    3. Zladan
      • 6 Years

      Frustration, price falls, poor fixtures, uncertainty of return.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years

        “Uncertainly of return”

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years

          Or uncertainty

        2. Zladan
          • 6 Years

          Of return date* I should add.

      I hear all that but it’s Alonso. The game is so much less fun when you don’t have him.

          Me too unless he’s confirmed out for a while.

    5. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Fixture difficulty switch mostly, I think. Many would have planned to sell him this week unless he happened to have been in top form. He was worth the expense/risk with better fixtures, but less so without. The injury and rotation threat just makes the sale a bit easier.

      Keeping him, myself, as I have Azpi and Otamendi who are likely to be the first ones to go.

      1. Deulofail

    1. Zladan

      A simple upgrade to Wilson or similar performing

    2. Jakarta

      Down to Niasse

  12. Kane Train
    • 9 Years

    1FT & 0.2itb what should I look at doing ??

    Courtois
    Otamendi - Ogbonna - Bauer
    Hazard - Walcott - Sterling - Salah
    Kane - Firmino - Wilson

    Bench: Elliot, Kenny, McArthur, Mbemba

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Obvious move is Ota > VVD to free up funds to upgrade the rest of the defence.

      Or downgrade Courtois.

    1. GreenArrows

      GW28 - only blank for Man City if FA Cup game goes to a replay

      GW34 - Double
      GW35 - Blanks
      GW37 - Double

      Start with playing Sterling.

      Personally, I'd flog Alonso to raise money to upgrade Wilson to Firmino.

      1. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yep.. Forgot to ask Alonso>Mee Haz>Mane
        Wilson > Firm
        For -8 or only the first two for -4 ?

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure Mane is worth the cash at the moment and I'd prefer VVD as my third Liverpool player.

  16. GreenArrows

    Kenny + Lingard > VVD and Shaqiri...

    No brainer right? Preparing for GW31 and not making my team worse with low scorers....

      Can't fault it. Though Stoke's fixtures have taken a little turn for the worse.

  17. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years

    Stones and Pogba to VVD and Walcott a solid move in prep for GW31?

    Also Stones and Pogba are bad.

    1. GreenArrows
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Good moves imo

    2. Prøfeßör …
