The Big Numbers – Gameweek 36

We now check in with the form of a number of Double Gameweek 37 candidates in our regular analysis of the members’ Opta data.

Man City’s attack shows no signs of complacency since clinching the title, while Southampton appear to have reason for optimism in their bid to beat the drop.

Meanwhile, we assess the recent showings of Spurs and Leicester’s frontmen, while Man United and Chelsea’s midfield make a late claim for our attention ahead of Friday evening’s deadline.

        Cheers, would you then play Morgan or dunk? Both poor picks this week

    Morgan/Salah/Willian/Son/Barnes to
    Mawson/Eriksen/Arnie/Ramsey/Jayew for a -12?

    Leaves BB37.....
    DDG/Hennessey
    OTAMENDI/MAWSON/ALONSO/Lowton/Tarkowski
    ERIKSEN/KING/STERLING/ARNIE/RAMSEY
    KANE/JESUS(c)/JAYEW

    Thoughts?

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

      no way !!

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        How come? Thought the ones im transferring in are more nailed for 2 games each?

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I like all these moves but would maybe keep Willian or son and just do a -8

    3. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I’d keep Willian and Son in your case and do the other moves you listed.

  4. bobbysmith76
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    DESPERATE. Would love some advice:

    Is Lukaku, Willian, Eriksen, and Murray > Jesus, Hazard, D. Silva, and J. Ayew worth a -8?

    Trying to go for differentials. Team would be:
    DDG
    Morgan, Christensen, Smalling, Kiko Femenia
    Hazard (TC), D. Silva, Mahrez
    Kane, Jesus, J. Ayew

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

      do not lose eriksen or you ll never forgive yourself...seriously 🙂

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Losing eriksen is crazy. Lukaku Willian and Murray to Jesus sterling and ayew looks good tho

    3. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      1. Don't lose Eriksen.
      2. Don't get Silva, as he might be on the beach with his newborn child

      I like the theory of rather getting a 2nd Spurs mid than a 3rd City attacker. Sane is often rotated, but he's just had a rest, so... who knows, is what I'm saying.

  5. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Which combo?
    (A) Alli and Fernandinho
    (B) Arnautovic and Ramsey (if Arsenal and knocked out of Europa).

    I have 10 dgwers and salah plus 2ft but not convinced a lot of my team will play 2 games this week. Happy to do 2 or 3 of these transfers but which have the most upside?

    A Morgan to naughton
    B mustafi to smalling
    C otamendi to vert
    D son to arnie
    E lingard to tadic
    F Barnes to ayew (bench Kenedy)
    G salah to eriksen/kdb/hazard

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

      I like A

        Cheers

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      A, D and C in that order.

    4. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      A and F looks good for free. Then if chasing i would be tempted on G with hazard or I do fancy Arnie to return which brings D into play. Tough moves

    5. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      A and F seem solid

    7. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      D&E for me. Both are teams that desperately need wins

    8. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      The players you're getting rid of in A-E all have good potential this week.

      I only would be really confident with F actually scoring more points in the end.

      You could do F and G and easily reverse G next week

  7. bobbysmith76
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Is Lukaku, Willian, Morgan, and Murray > Jesus, D. Silva, Davies, and J. Ayew worth a -8?

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

      silva and davies are great if nailed but have the feeling they might en up just playing one game

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Take William and dsilva out and the other 3 transfers looks good for a minus 4. Could you then stretch to vert instead of Davies

  8. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Morning DZ
    Best way to defend 20pt lead...?
    I've got TC, 1FT 1.2ITB
    He's got TC and BB...and Christian Eriksen 😮
    Looking at his team, I think he may be using TC this wk, BB38...
    Cheers for any thoughts 🙂

    Me:
    DDG (Ryan)
    Alonso Vertonghen Christensen Chilwell (Lowton)
    Sterling Son Willian Lingard (Milivojevic)
    Kane Jesus (Barnes)

    Him:
    DDG Hart
    Davies Lejeune Chilwell VDH Long
    Salah Sterling Eriksen Kenedy TCarroll
    Kane Jesus Barnes

    1. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Would be worried about not having Sterling. Can you afford;

      Christensen + Willian
      ->
      vdH + Sterling ?

      I think that'd be well worth a hit

      1. agueroooooney
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Ah, nevermind. Obviously completely misread that, must have read Salah instead of Sterling by accident

      2. agueroooooney
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        But I do think these moves would still be good with Sané instead of Sterling. Don't think Willian or Christensen aren't great options anymore

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          Cheers, yeah
          Willian Christensen > either
          Sané+Naughton, or
          DSilva+Mawson very much on the radar.

          Christensen Lingard > Danilo Arnie
          Is also tempting me

  9. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    What's the best option??

    A: Vardy + Andy King +4
    B: Sane + J.Ayew

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

      b i reckon

    My team (had to take a -8)
    De gea
    Morgan - Davies - Duffy
    Eriksen - Willian - Kennedy - Sterling - Pogba
    Jesus - Kane
    Who to triple Captain?
    1. Sterling
    2. Kane
    3. Jesus

    Thanks

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I want to go Sterling, but it just feels like too much of a risk, and lack of bonus puts me off. On paper I favour Kane over Jesus, but form is leaning me toward the city guy, especially given his bonus magnet status 3x3x2 = potentially 18pts for baps...

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Cheers it just feels strange it not being Harry

  12. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    a willian to tadic -4 bench gross
    b gross to tadic -4 bench wilian
    c no hit, just play wilian

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Not sure Tadic is worth it. If he hadn’t scored last w/e would you even be considering him?

      1. Voodoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Agreed.

  13. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    It’s gonna be great having an 8-12 point head start over most of the game this week 😀

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      How many DGW players?

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Nine, with Salah and Robertson and Jesus TC

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

      yep it s hits galore, i learned my lesson (eventually) with gw 34 where my team would have better off with no hits at all. trust in what you have is what i say (still taking a -4 though 🙂 )

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        People forget that SGW players can still score points and DGW players won’t becessarily even play both games

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

          yep totally.

    3. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Wouldn't say the people on here account for most but yes, it's nice to think a green arrow is almost guaranteed on Friday night

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Haha fair. But they probably represent a good chunk of those in the 10-25k ranking I’m looking to get past

  14. Kun Tozser
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Davies, Trippier or Vert?

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Davies for me, just have a feeling he’ll play the rest of the season

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        With a -4 or just play Tomkins for 37?

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

      i have davies but took him mainly for the watford game. vert was quite offensive against watford so i d go for him

  15. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    morning dz!

    what’s the priority for me here do you think, playing BB this week.

    Get rid of:
    A lowton
    B Morgan

    get in:
    1 - silva Mawson (-4) Lawton/morgan
    2 - sane naughton Lawton/morgan (-4)
    3 - pogba Danilo Mawson (-8)

    i’m chasing, my ML leader will be unable to afford any of these mids so all would be differential

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      B
      2

    2. DIOCCÁ
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Im in the same boat, chasing.

      I got Sane. But starting to wish I'd got Pog.

      I'm also tossing up whether I should take out Morgan for a hit.

      Does your rival have swans def? I feel like just relying on goals from def as a differential is too hopeful. Better to go with a different team.

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        no he has no swans def, can’t see him taking ft for one. I plan to double up on my BB so just 1 CS would be amazing.

    3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

  16. DIOCCÁ

    Morgan out for Lascelles for -4?

    Or just play Morgan?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      definitely play morgan on that one !!

      1. DIOCCÁ

    Current bench boost team:

    Pope / Hart

    Klaven / Dummet / Long / Fernandez / Chilwell

    Salah / KDB / Sterling / Eriksen / Zaha

    Kane / Jesus / Perez

    A) Klavan/Salah > Cedric/Alli

    B) Klavan/Salah > Vertonghen/Arnie

    C) Klavan/Salah > Davies/Pogba

    **I'd get Salah back for GW38

  18. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    What's the best option?

    A: Vardy + Andy King (Affords me Salah without a hit in GW 38)

    B: Sane + J.Ayew (-4)

    1. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Prob A

  19. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years

    Hi, any chance Christensen playing this gw?

    Is Chris -> Vert worth -4?
    Ta.

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years

      I’m looking at Christensen out plans too. He may get one start, but who knows which...

    2. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I’d say it’s worth it

  20. Voodoo

    6 years, 6 days ago

    Hi guys, interested to hear some thoughts. What do you think does better on average in 37?

    A) Triple Captain (Sterling, Jesus or Kane)
    B) Bench Boost (with decent 15)

    1. 42towels
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Who's on the bench? I think you need to compare their fixtures objectively for 37 vs 38.

      1. Voodoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        McCarthy, Ayew, Swans Defender, Dummet

        1. Page 302
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          In that case, I'BB 37 and TC 38.

        2. 42towels
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          So that's (4 extra games in 37 + Salah in 38) VS (2 extra games from your captain in 37).
          BB 37 for me.

          1. Jairzinho
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 6 days ago

            8 extra! (Those 4 x2)

  21. Evil Genius
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Alonso, Salah, Vardy -> Azpi, Sterling, Jesus for a -8?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Are you buying Salah back? May be worth downgrading Azpi so you have funds?

      1. Evil Genius
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Only way to do that would be to go Sane instead of Sterling.

        1. agueroooooney
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          Or someone other than Azpi

        2. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          Downgrade Azpi

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 6 days ago

            Smalling?

  22. Voodoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Arnautovic to start both games?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Should do

    2. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Hope so!

    3. Azathoth
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      100%

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      For sure. He's necessary for WH.

  23. Jayv807
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Wood/Lowton to Ayew/Smalling (-4) is the plan to give me the below for Bench Boost

    DDG, Fab
    Davies, Maguire, Smalling, Yedlin, Ogbonna
    Sterling, Sane, Son, Pogba, Arnautovic
    Kane, Jesus, Ayew

    Right moves or any alternative suggestions?

    Willian to Arnautovic for a hit? That’s the plan, can’t see Willian starting both and liable to get hooked early.

      Willian has been dropped.
      Arnautovic nailed on + OOP.
      No brainer for me.

      consider Willian to Lemina

      Considering the same. Also keen on Pogba...

    Pope, Hennessey

    1FT, 0.0 in bank

    Which players to go for:
    A - Azpilicueta + Eriksen + Aubameyang
    B - Mawson + Salah + Kane

      I'd go for Mawson Salah Kane if I could – Arsenal lineups are messy and hard to predict...

    2. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Vertonghen - Salah - Aubameyang

      1. agueroooooney
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Davies if you already have Vert

    C) Alli (for Willian)
    D) Rashford (for Barnes)

    DDG
    Smalling Cedric Alonso
    Gross Sterling Son Salah Willian

    2. agueroooooney

      B looks good, D could be a juicy differential though

        Cheers. Yeah, was really keen on Pogba, then came to think of United's attacking output (or lack thereof) against some of the lesser teams this season.

        Maybe they'll outpace them for sure with Rash, maybe Martial
