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.
Fair play to those who went Dzeko.
Ballsy, Ballsy, Ballsy.
He would be ideal for my Lukakaaaa replacement this week but.... I'm still not sure i have the kazoonaas to do it 😯 !
Lets see how this game goes 🙂
PS - Come on Zaba, no conceding goals please 😉Open ControlsIs there any chance of Luke Shaw rising in price tonight?
He was 68.8% at 3pm.Open ControlsIf he does, I'll simply wave bye bye to 0.1m.
It's a useful skill to learn.Open ControlsI need it for a double transfer I am considering.
If he rises by 0.1m, I cannot afford it.
However, the later i can leave it the better.
This is in case of any injuries.Open ControlsI'd simply suggest caution particularly with the blank coming as injuries will all appear on Friday. Less of a risk if you remove 2xDGW players and there's value in Shaw,

Anyone actually keeping Lukaku?
If not, are you making your move before his inevitable price fall?
...Open Controls8pt Hit sorted... 😎
Ivan > Coleman
Zaha > Barkley
Lukaku > Aguero
*Assuming Aguero looks good and doesn't get injured...Open ControlsProbably not but likely to take the hit.
Open Controls
FFS Dzeko you were not supposed to start, now I am going to be tempted to do Lukaku--->Dzeko for a hit provided Snod and Clyne are fit for weekend.
Open ControlsWow - Neville & Carragher were absolutely scathing about Arsenal and Wenger.
Schezny - "arrogant", Koscielny - "careless", The Midfield - "weak", The supporters - "The only people over-paying at The Emirates".
Wenger is not gonna like that!
Think there's any chance he'll come out and have a chat after the game next time Arsenal are live on Sky?! 🙂Open ControlsCarragher on Mertesacker: "not for me".....In fairness, he's got more international caps than you mate
Open ControlsSupporters don't have to show up.
Open ControlsRidiculous thing to say. You Clearly don't go and watch your club
Open Controls
anyone else still have no striker goal this gameweek? if dzeko blanks it will be a complete nightmare seeing as it seems pretty much all the other popular strikers have scored so far
Open ControlsRough time AB - who do you have?
Lukaku, Dzeko and . . . ?Open Controlsaltidore
Open Controls
No, but I have had a total no show from my midfield.
Open Controlsand some of the unpopular ones
Open Controls
Cant believe I went lukaku and negredo, what a terrible gw
Open ControlsHow about Sky?
Open ControlsLukaku is expected to start against Villa, but who knows? Can't see him not playing, but Mourinho may try and screw you over!
Open Controls
Regardless of what Dzeko can produce tonight and Lukaku come Wednesday, there is just far too much rotation risk to keep either long term. No?
Open Controlsagree. dzeko pretty much has to score tonighti fear
Open ControlsYes definitely. I have Dzeko but am getting rid even if he scores.
Sturridge, Benteke, Soldado, Giroud (assuming Arsenal dont sign anyone) won't give you that rotation headacheOpen Controlsthis.
Open Controls
Possibly. Lukaku could get the nod against United, but you just can't tell. Dzeko could start if he hammers home a double or more, but what are the chances of that? And even then, long term so much rotation would probably ruin his chances.
Open ControlsI agree. Ditching Lukaku before next week. Was thinking about Dzeko but with Agueor back, I'm not going to do it.
Open Controls
I have no M.City players and tbh am not too bothered. I'll give it a weeks and see is there any stabilty to the side first.
Open ControlsWhat's the website for price rises and drops %?
Open ControlsFiso crack the code
Open Controls- Open Controls
Fiso or total fpl . Fiso hasn't updated since 1500 though
Open Controls
Who has everyone got lined up for their captain for the next gameweek?
Open ControlsDoes Kebab become a more attractive FPL option at Arsenal? More attack-minded team that will score more goals and keep more clean sheets, but on the flip side probably won't get much in the way of set pieces.
Open ControlsTotal knee jerk I know but Hazard and Lukaku to Aguero and which 6.5 or less mid?
Open ControlsMight be worth waiting until the end of todays game.
WOuld the 6.5 be for a 5th mid?Open Controls6.5 on a 5th mid? Is that possible? Nope, Ross Barkley is my 5th.
Open Controls
wait and see if aguero lasts the game and looks any good
Open ControlsThis wouldn't be done til friday night whatever happens.
Open Controls
How long till Bent is fit enough to start ?
Open ControlsArsenal's opening Day Red Card and Results syndrome
2010 vs L'pool 1-1 (Koscielny red)
2011 vs Newcastle 0-0 (Gervinho red)
2012 vs Sunderland 0-0
2013 vs Villa 1-3 (Koscielny Red)
Moral: Arsenal have always started slow recently and almost everytime finished up with 10Open ControlsAnd gone on to finish above Liverpool and Tottenham...
Open Controls
Everyone is saying Aly Cissokho has signed but I can't see it on the website?
Open Controlsi wasnt on here , but what is the rumour? Cabaye and Richards not in the subs even are they going to Arsenal?
Open ControlsWouldn't be happy with that if I was an Arsenal fan.
We are after Rooney
We are after Higuain
We are after Suarez
We just bought Yohan Kebab and Micah Richards, yay................Open ControlsI am not happy for many reasons, not signing Rooney or suarez are not two of those.

What would you do in preparation for GW2?
Is it worth considering:
Terry> Shaw
and
Lukaku> Soldado
for a 4 pt hit?
Many thanks. Have a great season guys.Open ControlsSturridge over Soldado?
Open Controls
F*ckin hell. I thought this game would help me pick between Mbiwa and Saylor.
How long's the Santon lad out for?Open Controls"DAVIDE Santon’s set to miss Newcastle United’s season-opener at Manchester City – leaving Alan Pardew with a dilemma over who faces Jesus Navas.
The left back is short of fitness, and isn’t expected to be available for Monday night’s game at Eastlands.Versatile defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa can play at left back, while 21-year-old Paul Dummett is pushing for his Premier League debut."
Saw this on the ShieldGazette posted on the 17th. Didn't we get a whiff of this earlier?Open Controls
Carragher noob
Mert-Kos partnership is more solid than anything they have at Liverpool. Maybe he should look at the stats before before running his mouth..Open ControlsWho are you guys thinking of captaining for GW2?
Most importantly, why are you choosing that player?Open ControlsGiroud , i dont know the reason :p

Here is my theory on Lukaku and Torres.
Jose mentioned before the start of the season that players playing internationals would be assessed and the ones traveling long distances would most likely not play (like Mata for instance). Now, Torres didn't play for Spain or travel and had very little pre-season with the team. Lukaku played midweek for Belguim (almost entire game) and has had a big pre-season. Now, not to disrespect Hull (or their supporters) but that game could well have been another "pre-season" fixture for Torres. This explains his issue (in part) with his performance and also why Lukaku didn't start. Villa are now a tough opponent which makes me think he's gonna start. For Man U, cos of last season and pre-season and with Torres short on pre-season form/continuity/etc etc...I think Lukaku will start that game too.
I think Torres is probably viewed as the main striker for the club but his current position surely won't be compromised for the will of the team. Not now at least...as mentioned, just my theory and 2c to a topic we're all debating right now.
In terms of FPL...well the doubt over him means you can't rely on Lukaku at this stage and an "almost" or definite starter is what we need. But hey...it's only just the start of the season...fun and games already!Open ControlsYou can guarantee that if you do the Lukaku -> Dzeko move, Dzerko won't play hte next game and Lukaku will bag a brace.
It is how you english say the law of the sodsOpen ControlsAnd the Paddys say Murphy's Law ...
Open Controls
Thanks again Arsenal. You take my money, you break my heart, and then you fook up my FF team in new and exciting ways by bidding on Cabaye.
Open ControlsFrankly, you don't deserve the club. 😉
