This season’s Big Numbers articles for members will follow on from the weekend’s action as always, with new contributor, “In Tommy We Trust”, taking up the editorial reins. Tommy takes we take a look at the data gathered from the weekend’s action in the members’ area as both Merseyside clubs register impressive attacking statistics, while casting an analytical eye over a handful of forwards from Saturday and Sunday’s matches.
Just caught up on MOTD.
Sunderland looked good. Very decent.Open ControlsTeam for GW1:
Mignolet (Boruc)
Coleman, Ivanovic, Collins, Mertesacker (Turner)
Walcott, Hazard, Coutinho, (Bartley) (Kagawa)
Lukaku, Giroud, Dzecko
Any suggestions on changes for GW2 & GW3 ....Open Controlswait until Wednesday and choose between dzeko and lukaku imo
Open Controls
Anyone know about price rises?
Who has gone up and who will go up?
Cheers boysOpen ControlsNo one has risen yet. I'd expect Coleman, Shaw and Barkley to go up tonight though
For future reference

Anyone got any thoughts on Sissoko at Newcastle, seemed to disappear after some early hype last season but fixtures look not bad and 6.0M seems cheap if he's playing off the front man again
Open ControlsYeah iam waiting for their match if he plays up front he is in , if he plays deep iam getting barfa
Open ControlsAll depends on his position. Ended last year playing defensive midfield when injuries hit. Back 'in the hole' tonight he is an intriguing mid-price option with those fixtures upcoming

Hey Doosra if you are still about, any news on why Rat didn't feature versus Cardiff City?
Open ControlsHe was hiding.

coleman got all the glory from everton but by looking at the bonus points system baines was 5th. he was behind the scorers only. I guess whenever he scores he is set on for 3 bps and also if games finish 0-0 or 1-0 for everton he is set on bps as well. his all around game will benefit him. really tempted on bringing him in instead of coleman.
thoughts?Open ControlsI got both, (risky) but working ok so far
Open Controls
Cech
Ivanovic l Collins l Dawson l Toure
Hazard l Coutinho l Mirallas
Bony l Soldado l Anelka
Subs: Boruc l Snodgrass l Zaha l Olsson
Was thinking for the next few weeks transfers: Ivanovic to Shaw, Mirallas to Nolan, Boruc to (4.5 GK), Zaha to Wanyama(not sure), & Anelka to (Could afford any striker if I make these transfer, not RVP :'( though). Or should I just try and improvise to get RVP in?Open Controlskeep boruc and mirallas
Open Controls
Quick note Tommy:
It's Adam Johnson not Andrew Johnson 😉
Great write-up though. Interesting stats.Open ControlsGW4 - GW9/10 - the period where everyone is getting RVP - is also the period where my planned 3 strikers (Soldado, Sturridge and Giroud) have the best fixtures out of any teams in the league according to the ticker! I do think a non-RVP team is still very very possible. I know that no one else will score as consistently, but I think the money saved by not having him currently outweighs that for me.
Open ControlsIt is a real dilemma that's for sure.
Add Bale, Suarez and possibly Aguero to that mix and I think we're in for some difficult decisions.Open Controlstrue. I would fancy suarez and lambert or sturridge and soldado over RVP and anelka. if it wasn't for the captaincy dilemma I wouldn't think twice
Open Controls
sell giroud if any
Open ControlsExactly. Soldado, Benteke and Studg/Berba for me, though.
Not having him gives you the money to have Bale, if he stays. Also expecting Walcott and Hazard to raise their games...Open Controls
look at Berbatov position

So still 2 games to go, but how are people feeling about their overall position in the leagues? I just wanted to hit average points and kick on from there in the coming game weeks. If you are a good way back it is a real slog to get up to higher positions, my aim is an unlofty top 20k by gw38. So currently I am pretty happy with where I am at, the rest of you?
Open ControlsI am ranked 14,700 ish with Silva, haz, lamps, ivan and benteke to go. on 75 I think.
I am happy.
Although if Ivan was given that penalty, and lampard scored it + the one he missed. Oh I would be ecstaticOpen Controls
Chances of winning my head to head
me : Silva , Ivanovic + 3
Lord Voldemort : Dzeko + ColeOpen Controlsbe afraid of the bosnian
Open Controls
Think I need a grav change to Andrew Johnson now 😉
Open ControlsWould you mind doubling up Everton's right flank and having Mirallas and Coleman? If not which one out of the two is the best one to have?
Open Controlscoleman is the better option
Open Controls
LR, without posting a link...do you know where I could watch MOTD?
Open ControlsOn the iPlayer after midnight tonight I think Beric.
Open ControlsHowzit pal.
Ok gw?Open Controlsthere are a 101 great goals this league..
Open Controls
didnt realise lamps scored 15 goals from 1900 mins last season
impressiveOpen ControlsMy favourite bit of the article was the "0" bit.
When I went on endlessly about Anelka being this since 2010 in league games;
Chelsea
2010-11: 32 games, 6 goals
2011-12: 9 games, 1 goal
Shanghai
2012: 22 games, 3 goals
Juventus
2012-13: 2 games, 0 goals
And about the fact his prime was at Arsenal 14 years ago.
And about how he is just a money grabber after another signing on fee.
Why did so many insist he was a good option?
I LOVE A GLOAT ME. 😀Open ControlsAs with a lot of other players, it's probably not fair to judge him on one game.. Even if it is a home game against Southampton. You're probably right about him but lets see after GW5 or 6.
Open ControlsA friend lives in Shanghai, says that Anelka looked ready for the glue factory.
Open ControlsIt's been one game..
Open Controls
Have exactly 1m in the bank.. If both Dzeko and Silva(in my team) escape today uninjured , then is it sane to pull the trigger on:
Lukaku->Sturridge tonight itself (as evident can't accommodate a Lukaku price fall)
The players involved in midweek matches are Walcott and Soldado but have 3 absolute nailed on players on my benchOpen ControlsWhy the rush? Price movements?
Open Controlsyes, Lukaku already in the 40% territory to fall and will fall on Tuesday night latest at this rate
Open Controls
Lukaku won't fall today, Sturridge won't rise
No need to rushOpen Controls
Villa 10/1 to beat Chelsea
😯Open ControlsChelsea 8 (Torres 3′ Luiz 29′ Ivanovic 34′ Lampard 58′ Ramires 75′, 90′ Oscar 79′ (pen) Hazard 83′).
Aston Villa 0
December 2012 (might go a little way to explaining it)Open Controls
Hmmm.
How will Bent affect Berb?
How will Osvaldo affect Lambert?
How will Suarez being back in the lineup affect Sturridge?Open ControlsGw 4 issues.
Open Controls
Good gentlemen, on the basis of their poor play vs Liverpool, would you play Ward away at Stoke this coming GW ahead of:
Shaw (home to Sunderland)
Coleman (home to West Brom)
or Luna (home to Liverpool)
I suppose what I'm trying to say, is:
Play Luna or Ward?Open ControlsWhittaker nailed on? Would be great for 4m
Open ControlsThanks 🙂

With RVP owned by 45% would non-owners agree with the following:
Bad GW1 = get RVP asap to cover the 45% ownership and use your other players to climb the lower ranks.
Good GW1 = stick with the plan and bring him in for GW4 (or not at all)
too simplistic/too early for snap judgements?Open ControlsDepends how your strikers did/are set up. The Bad GW1 is probably down to people's midfields apart from Lukaku, who still has a game left.
Open Controlswhat % will own RVP by GW4?
kind of ridiculousOpen ControlsI think it will be difficult to find differential to climb when you have so much money blocked by RVP. Will need a good pick to find the performing midpriced players.
Open Controls
got a feeling silva will go ape shit tonight
NOT
HAHAOpen ControlsDidnt realise the not jokes made it past the 90's
Open Controls
Soldado is one of the best Strikers in the world. Underpriced at 9.5
Open ControlsMay be because all are punts (Pants) compared to the current hot picks, lambo/studge/soldado/Tekkers..
Open Controls
Not confident of winning my H2H
Me (A) : Silva, Hazard (c), Ivanovic
Them (B) : Aguero, Cole (c) +1 point. Who Wins? ThoughtsOpen ControlsI have heard Aguero is fully fit for tonight. Hope he does not get over 45 minutes. That is where you might lose coz Cole might outdo Hazard... But its 50/50 I would say.
