The Big Numbers – Gameweek 30

We check in with the Opta data next and roll out our usual post-Gameweek assessment of the weekend’s standout performers.

Huddersfield Town’s target man and a certain Liverpool winger both up their attacking potential ahead of a reduced Gameweek 31.

Meanwhile, big-hitters from the Leicester, Spurs and Arsenal midfields stake a claim for our upcoming Wildcards, while we also check out the impact of Chelsea’s new frontman at Stamford Bridge.

    Can somebody explain what's going on in GW31, I have only Liverpool and Everton players down as playing GW31?

    Is this right? / should I therefore captain one of my two Liverpool players, Salah/Firm?

      Welcome to Planet Earth! 😉

      Look at the fixtures. Capt Salah and get another Pool player

      No other strong options there i guess..

      Only 4 PL fixtures due to FA cup games. So yes- Liverpool captain is the obvious choice!

      Only 4 matches taking place. Means you only have 8 teams to select players from. You should get a minimun 6/7 players without a hit to do well or play the free hit chip if you have it.

      Maybe consider using free hit to play 11

    Is it just me, or are folk getting awful tetchy on here this week. Seems like the build up to the final GWs has finally pushed some over the edge.

    Expecting some "Don't call me Tetchy" Kryten quotes in there for the Win.

    Take a deep breath folks. It's all good. Unless you've spunked all your chips already. In which case, it isn't.

      Seems like every week on Ffs to me. Bunch of sketchy tetchy mother forkers.

        Haha. Maybe I'm just noticing it more this week.

      You have pickford, daniels, kiko,salah, shaq, wilson and firmino playing this week (kenny unlikely). You should be fine without needing to take hits. Just go haz to mane or one other defender to VVD if you have the cash.

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks mate,how about haz to mane and kane to some other frwds(can you suggest a couple?)...

        1. romer
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Just my opinion. I like Tosun so he should be on my team. Other options are King, mounie, rondon...

          1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 16 days ago

            ok thanks...

  4. StoichkovFPL

    Best striker for GW 32

    a) Mounie
    b) King (will he start)
    c) Rondon

    Alsno which one is worth -4

    1. Pjanić At The Disco
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      King IMO

    2. Salah'd n Sauce
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      I think King is a good shout - I would say I'm not overly keen though on hits this week. I'm not convinced there is much gain in it.

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Mounie vs King is a toss up in terms of ability to score and fixtures but Mounie is more nailed ...

  5. eamonhegg
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Please choose which are worth a hit (-4)
    A - Stanislas
    B- mooy
    C- Pritchard
    D- zaha
    E- choup
    F- Allen
    G- bolasie
    H- none

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      H

    2. romer

      It's a tricky question with an impossible correct answer. It depends on many matters. I'm taking a hit from coleman to Karnezis probably. But I'm doing it with future gws in mind (he has no blanks, can replace Ederson in some gws, and I'll have a playing gk for the bench boost.

      So the answer will mainly depend on who you are taking of, and the future fixtures comparision for both.

  6. Ian Davis

    Current free hit first XI:

    Begovic
    Baines / Coleman / Van Aarnholt
    Stanislas / Zaha / Mane / Salah / Shaqiri
    Firmino / Wilson

    How could I improve this team?

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      King over Wilson.
      Got to be Butland in goal surely.

      1. Ian Davis
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Why definitely Butland, Stoke haven’t been keeping that many clean sheets have they?

    2. romer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      hudd defender/ keeper?

  7. TAT
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Stuck between the choice of getting a striker or a midfielder for GW31:
    - Stanislas (or other option) to form a midfield of Salah, Pritchard, Walcott, Shaqiri
    - King, Rondon or Wilson in for Kane, to form a front three of Firmino, Quaner (third striker option)

    Can't get Mounie, as I have three Huddersfield with Quaner, Schindler and Pritchard.

    1. romer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      No Tosun?

      With those options I would go for a striker. Need do assess kane, and his next fixture is against Chelsea

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Could go Tosun, as well. Have no Stoke defense, anyway. Or Sørloth - but that involves playing him against Schindler…

        1. romer
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          In a gw like this you shoul not worry about getting player who play against each other. just bet on both sides. 1 or 2 players with more than 5 points can well make the difference this gw.

          1. TAT
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 16 days ago

            True. Zaha could also be an option if you go down that route. Sørloth surely is due a goal. He got one disallowed against Chelsea, and hit the post on another chance - While Benteke got subbed.

  8. TheTinman

    I want Mané and Stanislas. However with Kane and JAyew likely to further lose value would you recommend King and Firmino.

    A) Mané & Stanislas
    B) King and Firmino +0.2m SV

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Get the two you think will score best don't worry about prices.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        The money is important at this stage of the season

        1. TheTinman
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          And the call is very close

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      get firmino regardless of value i d rather have him than mane

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        I can't stand that buck toothed kante

  9. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    was set on bringing shaqiri then i listened to the scoutcast and more interesting options popped up, baines and zaha particularly.

    how many hits are you guys taking for that gw31 ??

    1. romer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      1 or two. But I'm getting rid of waste (gk Pereira and Mbemba) to bring in players for gw 31 and for the gw34 bench boost

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Cheers bruv

  10. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Which would you rather go WITHOUT in a GW32 WC team:

    A) Alonso
    B) City mid (D. Silva/ Sane)
    C) Lukaku
    D) Son
    E) DDG

    Basically playing around with options and I have this skeleton, with the question above determining the rest

    Fabianski, XXX
    Lowton, Duffy, Spurs def, XXX, XXX
    Salah, Willian, Mahrez, XXX, XXX
    Auba, XXX, Mounie/ Barnes

    Thoughts welcome!

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      A or B

    2. romer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      DDG to Ederson or Alonso to Monreal.

      also not sure on Lukaku. Are you playing th FHC in 35? beware about the teams with a blank that gw.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Think you've misunderstood my question - I was asking which of those options you would be happy to NOT have in a WC team - unless you're saying don't have any of Alonso, DDG or Lukaku and DO have City mid and Son?

        Yes I'm planning FH in GW35

  11. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    b for me

  12. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Vert Obiang Kane to Baines Zaha Mounie? (-12)

    Did Siggy to Stanislas for free

    *Have Wilson, otherwise would prefer King over Mounie

    1. romer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      No way. Obiang to Zaha can get you points in the future so maybe that one. Don't go for a -12.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Im using WC in 32 so I dont think long term

  13. wolves_simmo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    What to do with this lot.....worth taking a hit for an extra player for 31?

    0 FT’s, £1.6 ITB

    Pickford
    Janmaat – Daniels
    Salah – Mane – Pritchard – McCarthur
    Firmino – Mounie

    No Game - Alonso – Otamendi – Chilwell – Mahrez – Kane*

  14. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    9 with a hit. Gtg?
    Pickford
    VVD Cook
    Zaha Salah Walcott Shaqiri
    Firmino King
