Mark The team statistics section of the OPTA data available to Members can easily be overlooked. There’s just so much information to mined on players, Members will be forgiven for failing to take in the statistics measuring team performance.
In this week’s Numbers Game, we take a look at that team data for the weekend and trace some patterns and trends which could shape our team selections for the season run-in.

Hi guys, question:
What are your fellings on Anelka role? Will he play against United today and 2leg, or he will be more involved in the Wigan game and the double of the week after?
Does anyone know if there is any chance of Luiz, Anelka or Adam rising in price overnight?
Got 2 question.
Who to lose to get in Lampard? Nani, Young, VdV or Nasri?
and Rooney > ?
now I got 0.8m in the bank, and will do Coleman > Luiz after transferred Rooney.
Nasri. roo -> drogs
on totalfpl someone wrote about future promoted teams players
- Adel Taarabt - The stats certainly back this up as shown by Taarabt's 15 goals and 19 assists in the league this season. To put it into perspective, Qpr have scored 63 goals in the league so far this season, and Taarabt has played a part in 34 of them.
- max gradel - Gradel has scored an astonishing 16 goals in the league thus far giving him an impressive ratio of almost a goal every 2 games for the whites this season, And if you thought that wasn't enough Gradel has also got 5 assists under his belt in the league.
they seem pretty sweet, i think i'd only get taarabt though if the season started tomorrow
I agree but id have gradel on my watchlist
I've heard Taarabt might "find it difficult among the shrewder defenders of the Premier League".
That said, promoted teams seem to do a lot better in the early part of the season. Perhaps a combination of underestimation and a lack of tactical information?
If QPR come up I really can't see how they could deal with Taarabt not covering back. They'd get stomped.
Taraabt is fine when QPR are on top, but he'll go missing a lot of the time.
If you watched the game on Monday night you'll find he did track back several times.
However, Warnock is aware of this issue and has said he and Taarabt will discuss it in the off season.
With no disrespect to any of the other Championship players referred to from previous years none of them even remotely have Taarabt's skill set.
Even Modric, I believe, thought Taarabt was the most skilful player in Spurs squad when he was there.
You also may want to keep an eye out for Faurlin. I keep saying this every time Taarabt's name comes up because I think Faurlin is going be one hell of a player.
those stats remind me of Gary Mcsheffrey and Graham Dorrans 😛
Charlie Adam too though tbf.
Ebanks Blake! I think I will start the season with mostly established players, and only have maybe 1 newly promoted player, been badly burned in seasons past based on stats in Chanmpionship
Here's hoping Taraabt is nice and cheap!!
isn't Taarabt a nut. read an article about him on bbc i think.
Team is
Begovic/Mignolet
Smalling/Carr/Kelly/Walker/Luiz
Fabregas/Young A/Lampard/Gardner/Adam
Rooney/Gyan/Van Persie
Plan was to hold on to Rooney until GW33, then change to chelsea forward until GW35 then Tevez for the run in. Do i
A - Hold fire, stick to plan
b - Rooney>Torres now (Free)
c - Rooney>Torres,Carr>Bassong -4 points,get Spurs defender in now
c - Rooney>Drogba,Carr>Parnaby/Murphy(needed to create funds)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher/2011/03/adel_taarabt.html
here's that bbc article.
for the craic! work out how many office hours you spend on this site per week then multiply it by the average amout you get paid an hour. what your figure. Just tryin to work out how much this site is costing the economy.
I reakon mines is £60 a week.
in work about €100 and outside work.....€1000s!
not even lookin at outside work. It would scare me. When my wife files for divorce then i will knw i have been on too much.
My missus knows where she stands - no dates on saturday night once the season starts (except int breaks) and she gets ignored on friday nights too!
lol
probably why she keeps knocking on my door
didn't realise how much i spend here, i worked it out at £72/week
i bet there are figures a lot higher than ours.
about £100, i don't come on much at work
£250 a week ....
Back to work i guess lol
Jasus man
Are you not similar your on here bout as much as me 😉
aye but you are a high flyer, KOL. your real name is David Weir and thats an hours pay.
Haha busted...
right back to work boys and girls. your country need you to be productive and drag us out of the recession.
We're all blaming the bankers when it was really http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk. Get the mob round to Mark's house.
this site made Mark and co a millionaire yet?
guessin about £105 after tax, etc
Herman, care to take a look at my question above?
Thinking about doing
VDV/Nani > Walcott (to make funds)
Coleman/Huth > Luiz
Do these transfers seem alright?
Thanks
i would be wary of dropping nani or vdv, although i am tempted myself
How many DGW's are people going for in GW33 and GW34?
Personally this is my plan, inlcuding subs without any point hits.
GW33: DGW's: Chelsea (Lampard, Luiz)
Arsenal (RVP)
Birmingham (Zigic, RJ)
GW34: DGW's: Wolves()
Stoke (Bergovic)
Fulham (Zamora)
Bolton ()
thanks to VDV my team value has just reached 108m, my highest ever
that is all
Anyone understand why drogba is so low in the watchlist rankings? if he is performing and torres isnt, doesnt it make sense for ancelotti to prefer drogba over torres?
by why would ancelotti want to rotate his most consistent scorer? torres is useless, rotate him.
Rotation. What you're saying does make sense, but Roman paid £50m for Torres, so he'll want him to play. Look at Shevchenko under Mourinho...
i think its more of saving-face and ego issues right now, instead of getting the best out of their team. doesnt look too bright for chelsea then.
Think I've decided on my transfers for this week, but for next week I need to sort out my defence.
Currently: Luiz - Huth - Kolarov - Coleman - Djourou
Who should I ship out, and who to ship in?
At the moment, thinking of getting rid of Coleman, Djourou, and possibly Huth. Looking at Dawson, R.Johnson, Samba. Thoughts?
Huth has a double In GW34 though, the rest fair enough.
Ya those names look good. Prob Dawson and R Johnson due to doubles to come. But Samba is a good shout aswell
A Richard Dawkins avatar? I didn't think I'd ever see that on a football site.
A) Drogba Young
OR
B) DJ Lampard -4
i already have luiz and terry so theres only place for one more chelsea-ite.
How many DGW’s are people going for in GW33 and GW34?
Personally this is my plan, inlcuding subs without any point hits.
GW33: DGW’s: Chelsea (Lampard, Luiz)
Arsenal (RVP)
Birmingham (Zigic, RJ)
GW34: DGW’s: Wolves()
Stoke (Bergovic)
Fulham (Zamora)
Bolton ()
33
Chelsea (luiz,terry,lamp/drog)
arsenal(rvp,nasri)
birmingham(foster,zigic)
34
wolves(ohara)
stoke(begovic)
sturridge or zamora for a possible hit.
Loading up on GW 33 and none for 34 yet.
Lamps, Luiz, Cole
RVP, Theo
Foster, RJ
Probably 2-3 of
Huth, Hangeland, O'Hara, Dempsey and Zamora to get in the week after.
todays action and well pleased with it i am ,30 boys on messi at4/6 anytime scorer ,and £20 double utd to qualify at evens with nick watney at 4/6 to finish top 20 at the masters ,come to daddy.
just a bit of pedantry: you put the comma before the space, not after.
And I think Chelsea will bust your bet.
Backed Watney to finish first, so you're okay even if I'm 19 places out...
Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson myself! Just noticed the first coverage (afternoon) is on Sky red button so no luck to all you virgin viewers!
So many considering losing Nani? Im thinking of going sans United players until 34.
Risky but with CL and Fa cup ties may be worth it with other options about.
37 even. Rather than 34
Rotation is the only reason I would even consider it. Utd invariably finish the season strongly. I'm planning to keep Nani for the season, and Rooney until GW34 or GW35 when he will become Tevez.
I think I'll sell him after this week. He may well be under slight rotation threat with Valencia and Park back in the fold.
I think you are right, getting rid is not the worst decision. However I want him for this GW. But with a tough champions league games and FA Cup to come it may not be the worst decision in the world. I think with Rooney out United goal threat is really only the mexican lad so this may be good and bad for Nani owners.
VDV is higher up my to be binned list.
To Dbr: This will obviously be taken as a criticism of United, but when I got Nani and Vidic in, pretty much every other midfield/defender pairing that I was considering have done a hell of a lot better.
Unless you strike Rooney when he's banging in a hat-trick, or Berbasloth when he's firing in five, Man Utd have been a Fantasy disaster this season. People with Evra must be hanging themselves...
With the exception of maybe one or two. Man U players have always been difficult in fantasy football. Ferguson is just too keen on rotation.
2 seasons ago there defence was amazing with Ronaldo. Last season we had Rooney. It's just there midfield that has always struggled until Nani this year.
Exactly. You can put a world-class player like Giggs in your side and have the most frustrating season ever. Someone like Fletcher could/should be Fantasy gold, and he's not even Fantasy lead.
Obviously, there is still the footballing genius that is Carrick...
Ronaldo was very frustrating 2 years ago. The season before he blew everyone else out of the water, but in 08/09 he was very overpriced and unpredictable.
Man U's defence has been solid usually, but Ferdinand's always injured and the right back spot is rotation-filled.
Evra, Vidic and Rooney (or this season Nani) are the only ones ever worth looking at.
Typical ABU nonsense 😀
No, I see your point, but you can't say Nani has been a Fantasy disaster - he is the top scoring player in the game...
Yep food for thought as they say.
Im considering dumping him (Nani) and Djourou for Walcott & Luiz.
Fixtures are alright its just with the other cup games the league games could easily see both rotation and points for a variety of options.
in the iva adverts under the scout picks leighton a of hertfordshire owed k38 how the fck can u borrow that much ,now somehow theyve let him off k22 ,no wonder hes smiling but he still owes k16 and also i think hes dyed his hair ,imo leighton a of hertfordshire is a w*nker.
You didn't read the comment about commas then?
it's a mighty long sentence too.
u an english teacher ?and by the way you can shove misplaced commas up ur ass,its a quickchat forum not a classroom u bellend.
The point is, if you're not going to bother making your posts readable, no-one is going to read them.
I'd say that's fair enough.
You'll generally find that people are more likely to read and respond to literate posts.
Ha bugger off. 😛
it normally helps if people can actually understand what you're saying though.
ha justdid,my bad ill never do it again,but id rather be doing that than owing 38k like leighton a of hertfordshire.
Maybe he misplaced a comma and it's actually only £3,800...
pending Rooney's news, what do u think about this team for GW32 ?
a) Rooney out for Bent
b) Rooney out for Torres/Drogba
c) Kelly out for Walker
d) No.. keep the transfers for next week
Foster (Begovic)
Luiz, Smalling, Huth (Coleman, Kelly)
Nani, Lampard, VDV, A.Young, Nasri
RVP, Welbeck (Rooney)
Any other Chelsea supporters on here starting to feel a tad nervous? I'm confident, but still nervous!
All the Utd fans I know feel exactly the same - confident but nervous...
I'm no Chelsea fan, but I'd be confident if I was. Man U's performances against the top teams hasn't been all that great, especially away from home.
drew at city, drew at spurs, lost 2-1 at chelsea (which wouldnt be a really bad result tonight).....
Do we like Terry or Drogba? FPLwise
Terry yes (assuming you already have Luiz), Drogba yes if he plays. Look at his minutes over the past 5 GWs...
im very worried about my transfers. im 24 points behind leader who already has lampard. i assume he will get luiz and drogba this week.
i really need terry as my defence sucks. that leaves me with this major decision between lamps and drogba. i could get them both(drog n lamp) but i think i really need terry before any of those two.
drogbas minutes over ast 5 gws are bad, but im hoping ancelotti notices that drogba scored when he got his 90 minutes. i have never been so desparate to know the starting xi in ancelottis friday interview.
You've also got possible rotation risks in Nani, VDV, Coleman and possibly Nasri (I also have all of those players), not sure if you want to bring in another one.
Two groups to watch at the Masters:
2.40pm: Dustin Johnson, Adam Scott, Nick Watney
4.19pm: Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood, Matt Kuchar
Bored so name and gravatar change I reckon.
Another fulfilling day - fecking recession.
Grav Test
Its not updated yet, smarty pants.
It'll be pretty obvious. Just look out for the witty, intelligent, erudite posts. 😉
And below those, will be Attila's replies to me...
Ha, expected that.
He'll be the one replying to them with ABU nonsense 😀
😛
Innocent of ABU charges. Cleared by the Grand Wizard of the Jerkicle himself.
Stay szczsney stay... dont fall just stay.... one more night ...
Oh shit is he at imminent risk?
no no, hes still at 40 odd percent but with these drops you never know. some muppet dropped on me last weeek. cant remember who mind you but it was unexpected.
Hmmmm, might sell early. Panic panic panic

🙂
Im keeping one more day...
Whats the thoughts on Chelsea defenders from what I can tell:
Luiz - best bet, price and CL ineligibility.
Terry - Should be fine, pop up with a header now and then.
Cole - not a rotation risk. possible assist/BPs especially in easier games.
Ivan - Too much of a risk despite goal possibility - stay away.
Bosngwa - Uncertain to start despite being very cheap and with possible attacking chances. A worse version of Lolarov.
Well look at this, Ferguson does what United fans absolutely slaughtered Arsene Wenger for - saying they can win the treble. Yes I know it's not exactly the same thing, but it's close!
"It is 14 games in two months if everything goes our way and, at United, we are used to this kind of thing, which is to our advantage. In the past I have said many times that to win just one trophy would be great. But we have to take the chance of winning all three now. We can repeat the treble of 1999."
Anyone else finding they are .1 or .2 off their "perfect" team right now? Every combination I try is just a little too expensive so it means going back to the drawing board.
Have 2 freebies, and am tempted to go all out and burn 8 this week in advance of DGW, Drogba/Lampard/Walcott/RVP are all on my list in particular, if Drogba plays tonight I will be more convinced to play at the weekend.

.1 off to do straight swap Rooney to Drogba.. ðŸ™
