The Big Numbers – Gameweek 35

Next, we take a look back at the post-match data in our usual members’ analysis of the previous Gameweek.

We skew our analysis towards Double Gameweek 37 assets, as Man City, Arsenal and West Ham’s attacks all feature. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s form at both ends of the pitch is also assessed prior to their favourable weekend fixture and double-header.

    Any Fantasy UCL players around? How is your squad set up for the semi-finals? I've decided to take hits in order to have a full squad (more fun that way) and now I have 4 Liverpool, 4 Roma, 4 Real Madrid and 3 Bayern.

      CR - Lewa - Salah
      Radja - Isco - Ox - Ribery
      Carvajal - Alaba - TAA
      Ulreich

      Ramos on bench. No hits for me.

        alaba injured

        Your midfield is a lot more exciting than mine, which is basically Ribery and a bunch of defensive midfielders!

        Karius
        Alexander-Arnold - Jesus - Kolarov
        Oxlade-Chamberlain - Ribery - Kimmich - De Rossi
        Salah (C) - Ronaldo - Dzeko

        Ulreich, Carvajal, Varane, Casemiro to come off the bench tomorrow.

    My favourite article of the week.

    It’s the main reason I’m a member. My member loves it.

      Very interesting for us non-members as well. We get a nice photo of Jesus making a phone call to his mommy and good use of the word 'sjew'

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Basically Jesus is awful. Avoid.

    Is Giroud a viable option? Looking for a differential in my mini league but concerned about Giroud's game time.

    1. JohnnyMagrinho
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Have been contemplating this move myself. Maybe Hazard is good enough as a differential - he's only owned by about 6% of players.

        If you do go with Giroud or Morata, it'll be one of those players you're happy to play only 20-60 minutes per game and with no 100% certainty they'll start both DGW games.

        Saying that, Giroud has done the business when he's been started lately. But also, saying that, Morata duly responded with an instant header against Southampton in the Cup.

        Slotting either before Swansea away is a risk in my opinion. Issue is we probably won't get any indication from Conte until Saturday past the deadline...

        Might be an idea to hold off and go for Hazard and look at how they line up against Swansea and then go in for him before DGW thinking he might only get 1-1.5 games.

          Thanks for the input, good advice. Will hang fire for the moment and assess ahead of GW37. Cheers

      Hello people!
      Sell Valencia or Alonso?
      Buy Ben Davies or Verthongen?

      Or sell Christensen?
      Buy 5.3 defender.

      Have Valencia, Alonso, Morgan, Christensen and Goldson(not play)

      Please help me with this.
      Thanx

      Yes or No guys ?

      Tnks

      1. Sánchez

        Yes. Get him sold everyone

      2. Ryanu2
        • 6 Years

        Im keeping Gut feeling he might hit some form in last few games

        1. mir
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 2 days ago

          Agree with you here. Same with Mahrez and William. I can see them doing well after failing last double gameweek. It's just the way the game works.

    5. Sánchez
      • 11 Years

      Any chance Alonso drops 0.1 before the dgw?

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 days ago

        I think he'll fall.

      2. Richd
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 days ago

        Probably. But I’m keeping till the bitter end unless I need sterling and Erikksen more than life itself.

      Best place to legally watch BT sport as a one off? Is there a way to subscribe for this one match (and next week)?

      1. JohnnyMagrinho
          6 years, 2 days ago

          You can buy a 'ticket' to watch football/sport for like a day on the equivalent of Now TV Sport Channel for like 7 or 8 quid I think.

          Obviously make sure it has the Liverpool game on it and whether it lasts for longer than a day etc... but you normally get multiple games to watch. I might be wrong though as I've only ever looked into this on a weekend at midday and it gives you a full day of sport to watch.

          Dunno if it's different on Champions League nights, but it's something you could check.

          1. mir
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 2 days ago

            Yeah cheers. Think Now TV has sky sports only rather than BT.

            Might call them up and ask for a preview.

            1. JohnnyMagrinho
                6 years, 2 days ago

                Let me know how you get on with that. Just looked at doing their 14 day trial but it doesn't have one for the Sport, only Cinema, TV and Kids.

                That's a huge shame...

              • JohnnyMagrinho
                  6 years, 2 days ago

                  Are they even showing the Pool game? On their schedule it says Derby v Cardiff for tonight and only that game. Doesn't look like it to me.

              Tv 3 in Ireland showing it. Don't know if it could be streamed somewhere.

            I'm concerned you missed my gag so I've taken the liberty of reposting it here...

            If green arrows are your thing...could I suggest spending the autumn and winter being very bad at fantasy then, as spring arrives, becoming mediocre? I've managed 7 on the bounce using this tactic.

              • 11 Years

                  'gag' might be overstating it though.

            Post DGW hangover.. What needs to be fixed first? I need city cover asap. Who are the best pick now?

            Ryan De gea
            Christensen Chilwell Morgan Lowton Dunk
            Mahrez Salah Willian Son Gross
            Kane Lukaku Barnes

              Lukaku, Mahrez to Jesus, Sterling. I consider it

            2. pjomara
              • 13 Years

            Would you keep Alonso? This week I can play:

            Vertonghen (WAT) Lowton (BHA) Cedric (BOU)

            Then Alonso misses the Liverpool game and has Huddersfield at home in the DGW.

            Thanks

                  I must sell Valencia, Alonso or Christensen. But who? Need some cash so I think it must be Valencia or Alonso.

          7. Bissisine
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 days ago

            A) Valencia to Vert/davies
            B) Alonso to Vert/Davies
            C) Hold and play with Valencia, Morgan and Christensen and play Valencia, Alonso, Morgan for 37.

            But I need to free some cash.
            Need Sterling or/and Jesus for 37.

            Already have DDG btw

            A) Mane/Zaha > Alli/Arnie

            B) Mane/Zaha > Eriksen/6.9 mid

            Any reason not to do him to Kane after this.

              Kane might get injured.

            Eriksen - Sterling - Willian - Salah

            I don't have much faith in Chelsea anymore.

            William + Alonso - - > Sterling + Smalling?
