Big Numbers

FPL Gameweek 4: analysis of the key underlying stats

With three weeks of player and team statistics to analyse and patterns starting to develop, our Big Numbers series returns for 2019/20.

Ahead of this Saturday’s deadline, we take a look at the data available to subscribers in our Members’ area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest to Fantasy managers’ and could help shape transfer decisions.

We’ve run down the stand-out figures in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could have a profitable Gameweek 4.

Members can read on for our analysis below.

            I will likely hold off on CHE players till GW7, and I dont like CHE defensively

    2. Regin

  4. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A: Martial > Mount (free)
    B: Martial/Moura > KDB/Mount (-4)
    C: Martial/Perez > KDB/Cantwell (-4)

    current team below

    Ryan/Button
    Robbo/Digne/Zinc
    Salah/Sterling/*Martial/Moura/Perez
    Pukki/Jota

    Button/Greenwood/Lund/Rico

    1. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I reckong B will be worth it.

  5. Dutchy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Are most people doing Martial for a -4? Or do I just hold

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The bowler's Holding.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      well the ovvious question is, who are your subs?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        play Lundstram

  6. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Having Lund/Kelly/Rico to rotate for the 3rd def is asking for trouble right?
    That would allow me to get TAA + Laporte

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Just look at all the people having to make a transfer because Martial may be out and they have no bench.

    2. Come on you Kante
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No roll your luck I’m in same situation with (. ) highlighted

  7. OleGGMU
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Hi lads
    Current Xi

    Pope
    TAA, Walker, Vvd
    Mane, Sterl, Mount, Maddison
    Barnes, Pukki, Rashford
    Bench: Cantwell, Lund, Rico

    G2G?
    Cantwell in for one of the Rash/Barnes?
    VVD or Lund?

    Any advice would be much appreciated

    1. Magpies4ever
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looks very good, keep as is

  8. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Decided on my incomings but not my outgoings

    Heaton -- Pope
    Vvd Taa Digne Zincheko -- Rico
    Sterling Kdb Perez martial — docker
    King Wickham Kane

    Can’t decide between
    A: Martial + Wickham >> Cantwell + Pukki
    - will likely do Perez/kane > salah / greenwood

    B: Martial + King >> Cantwell + Pukki + 2.3m
    - allows me to do Perez/kane >> salah / 7.2m fwd (most likely Barnes) in gw5

    So main difference between the two options is King vs Barnes but I get the benefit of having a strong 1st sub this gw (Cantwell) if anyone doesn’t play

    Hope it’s making sense

  9. Magpies4ever
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Not sure whether to take a hit here to get rid of martial, Robinson or Perez, already used FT for the week, any advice welcome

    Heaton
    Robertson, Van Dijk, Digne
    Sterling, Salah, Perez, Robinson
    Pukki, Wilson, Greenwood
    (Pope, Rico, Lundstram, Martial)

    A) Hold
    B) Robinson + Perez > McGinn + Mount (-8)
    C) Martial + Robinson > Mount + Felipe Anderson

    1. Geezer
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      no way it warrants a -8 thats for sure. Look your bottom left -
      pukki, wilson, sterling, salah. That is a masive safety net right there its enough to protect you if others dont perform, let alone your defence which is uber premium.

  10. samaael
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A) Dendoncker to cantwell
    B) king to haller
    C) both -4

    1. Geezer
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. Magpies4ever
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I’d save the FT personally but A if choosing one

  11. Geezer
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Are we sure Mount will play this weekend even tho he is yellow flagged?

    1. Magpies4ever
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      In the England squad so should be fine

    2. PanJawel2
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      wait for tomorrow . frank will tell

      1. Geezer
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Afraid of a price rise tonight

  13. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Do we think Cantwell will rise in price tonight?

  14. Clutchy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Haller + Cantwell or Mount + Barnes? I really can't decide

    1. Magpies4ever
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Mount and Barnes

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      M and B. With Cantwell, there's no one else in his price range to swap to

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      ^^^^ begrudging Cantwell non-owners

  15. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Was 50-50 on doing Perez to Mount, or giving it one more game.
    With Mount doubtful, I thought I may hold.
    Now Martial injured... thoughts?
    Hold and use my bench? 1ft, 0itb.

    Heaton
    VVD Laporte Digne Soyuncu
    Salah Sterling KDB Perez Martial
    Pukki

    Greenwood Lundstram Wickham

    1. Magpies4ever
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Hold and play greenwood

  16. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy and Wilson gonna punish people hard this weekend and throw the template out the window

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      hard to see if the West Ham Norwich game pans out like it should

    2. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'm very happy with my team so far (212 points) but all my transfers out have played wel after I dropped theml;

      - H. Wilson (for McGinn), 2 goals in 2 games
      - C. Wilson (for Pukki), 1 assist in 1 game
      - Vardy (for Haller), ???

      Let's see if Jamie bangs goals.

  17. primal33
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Who to start between:
    A) Rico
    B) Montoya
    C) Dendonker
    D) Greenwood

  18. Espen8
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Perez out for -4?

    1. Cahill17
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No i wouldn't take him out for a hit

  19. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    anybody brave to captain haller?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      not when City play an attacking Brighton side

  20. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Martial & Kane to Mount & Aguero (C) for -8?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      not if you own Sterling

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Have Sterling! Martial to Mount for -4?

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          depends what Ole says tomorrow about longevity of injury for Martial. If he's ruled out for more than 3 weeks, then i'd do Martial to Mount for a -4.

          Kane to Kun all depends on whether you think Kun can outscore Sterling to make it worth it

          1. Pep Roulette
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I feel Kun will be going crazy this weekend! Also I am wildcarding in the next gameweek!

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I've just done it for -4

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Is it worth -8?

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Depends who comes in for Martial

          1. KDB4PREZ
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            If you don’t own sterling or kun would you -8 to get martial out and one them in for Captain and not lose anymore sleep at lack of city coverage haha

          2. Pep Roulette
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Dendoncker

  21. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any news on KWP?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      should be tomorrow. Likely to be out though

  22. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    man city & LIV have ridicolously easy groups. TOT & CHE should also make it thru. i expect man city to score 25 goals in group stage

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      competition doesn't start till the quarters for City anyways

  23. SkeletONv01
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Think i figured it out, Martial + Wickham > Cantwell + Haller(-4). Gets me 2 nice players instead of a injured one and a 4.5 fodder that doesnt play. But then, benching problems 😀 Who would you bench from this front 8?

    Salah - Sterling - KDB - Mount - Cantwell
    Rashford - Pukki - Haller

    ?

    1. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      cantwell

      1. Ultimo Campo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Struggling to see Utd doing well this weekend so maybe Rashford? Maybe that's because I'm a pessimistic fan though...

  24. Come on you Kante
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Must choose either
    A -cantwell
    B- Greenwood

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A. Greenwood wont start

    2. SkeletONv01
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This a serious question? 😀 A.

      1. Come on you Kante
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thx

  25. JUST ONE LOMBARDO...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Transfer Trossard out with 2.5m in the bank for a -8?

    If so, what mid?

    *WC not being played yet.

    1. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on who else you had in mind and how your team looks like. Don't believe transferring him out is worth a hit.

  26. Espen8
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Perez to Mount (-4) ?

  27. Rex Lapis

  28. Doolittle
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    If he's fit, is there any reason not to want Mason Mount? Is there any impending threat to his place in the Chelsea team?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      CHO coming back probably means he wont be starting out wide anymore, so he's in direct competition with Barkley.

      But Frank loves him so cant see him being dropped

  29. JurgenRodgers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Points prediction this GW

    (A) Kane Mount +4

    (B) Kdb Haller

  30. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Martial and Kane to

    A) Mcginn + Kun; or
    B) KDB + Vardy.

    A or B?

    Thanks in advance!
