With Gameweek 1 concluded, itβs time to delve a little deeper into the data in our first “Big Numbers” article for members of the campaign. We analyse the display of Arsenalβs new wide man against Palace, the QPR front pairing at home to Hull, Liverpoolβs ever-improving youngster, Southamptonβs delivery under Ronald Koeman and Unitedβs weekend scorer in the 2-1 home loss to Swansea.
OK hands up if you are doing the sideways special tonight, Haz - > Fab. 2 hands up if it's for a hit.
o/Open Controls
I could do it for two hits....but won't π
Open Controls
Why on Earth would you do that? I'm considering doing Mata > Fab but if I had 1.0 more it'd go to Hazard no question.
Open Controls

Open Controls
Nay for me. I'm sad I picked Hazard but I still think he has more potential. The ref gives the penalty instead of the yellow card to Costa and Hazard could have matched or exceeded Cesc's score.
Open Controls
Eriksen or Mata to Sterling?
Open Controls
I feel like I picked well in GW1. I had Cesc, Siggy and Clyne.
Shame I benched 2 of them π
Anyone worth getting rid of Mata for?
Or do I get Aguero in? Very tempting ...Open Controls
I raise you. Cesc,Siggy,Clyne and Sterling.
Open ControlsI'd hold on Aguero. GW3 is a gamble.
Open Controls
Better to have them in your squad though. My biggest regret was going Jovetic and Arnautovic instead of Sigurdsson and Dzeko (changed it on Saturday morning) because I didn't fancy any Sigurdsson points against Man Utd and thought Jovetic would be more likely to score.
Open Controls
I feel your pain as I also had Siggy and Clyne as my first two subs. Would have been on a monster 91 if I had played them both over Young and Caulker but no complaints! Cesc, Fabs and Ramsey also held their part of deal down.
Aguero is tempting but not just yet. May shift Costa to him after a few weeksOpen Controls
I have a world class midfielder in my team who plays in the hole for a top side, behind one (soon to be two) of the most prolific strikers in the premier league. He's on free kicks and corners, has no European rotation, the fixtures are the best for the next few weeks, BUt he hasn't done anything for 90 minutes so far this season.
Can't remember his name but I need to get rid quick, right?Open ControlsThis would have been a good post, apart from you spoiled it by saying he played for a top side.
No upvote πOpen Controls
De Gea (Gilks)
Terry, Hutton, Taylor (Pieters, Wisdom)
Mata, Ramsey, Sterling, Sigurdsson (Marney)
Costa, Rooney, Jovetic
Already made my FT this week. Switched Arnautovic out for Sigurdsson to beat the price rise.
Stick or twist?Open Controls
What do we think for Aguero minutes next weekend
Only 8 minutes last game , so a risk he even starts
60 odd ?Open Controls
30 mins probably.
Open Controls15 mins if winning. 30 ish if losing or drawing.
Open Controls
I personally think 23mins
Open Controls
Start & get 60/70mins
Open Controls
Eriksen to Sterling?
Open Controls
Eriksen plays QPR. That shit cray.
Open ControlsNo!
Open Controls
Imo Sterling is a season keeper. Doesnt matter who hes playing against
Open ControlsI agree to some extent but Eriksen is more likely to outscore him this weekend in my opinion so a transfer isn't justified.
Open Controls
Look at their fixtures.

So long all you Non-Fab owning Mata owners.

Thank you for posting this. Gonna keep mata for now.
Gonna be watching chelsea from behind the sofa this Saturday though.Open Controls- Open Controls
Back line of Debuchy (eve) - Caulker (tot) - Clyne (WBA) - Chester (STK) - Moore (che)
Obviously I'm going to bench Moore, but who else do I bench out of the rest?Open Controls
Is Blackett expected to start next match for United or is there doubts?
Open Controls
If Evans is back, he might be forced to the bench.
Other than that, he should.Rojo might not start this game week.Open Controls
In all seriousness even against City getting Sterling may not be a bad thing. A lot of the attack for Liverpool was based around Sterling and I can't see them not scoring.
Open ControlsWill be fun to see a few more games of Pool without Suarez, how they'll deal with better opponents.
Open ControlsI can.
Open Controls
If I had Sterling, I'd keep. If I had Sturridge, I'd sell.
Open ControlsHe didn't look terrific, but I'm not gonna sell Sturridge just yet. If Aguero starts banging them in left, right and centre it's a different story, though.
Open Controls
Anyone else going into this weekend without Sterling & Siggy?
Open ControlsYes, unfortunately...
Open ControlsNot having Sterling vs City isn't really the end of the world, is it?
Open Controls
At the moment, I'm going in without Sterling...and not feeling very comfortable about it at all...
Open Controls
I could only get Siggy if I switch Mata out... I'm tempted but really not sure! Need to decide tonight or it won't be worth it
Open Controls
GW2 -
Would you play my sub Vlaar (NEW H) and put Lovren (MAN C H) on the bench or vice versa?
Thoughts please?Open ControlsWould anyone think it is a good idea to do Mata -> Fabregas now and then switch back again next week? I know it is a waste of 2 FT's but my team is not looking too bad and it might earn me 0.3-0.5.

the mini-league i am in .. $400 buy in - first price wins $5000Open Controls
RMT PLEASE
So i am playing at this moment in a leage with free transfers both at round 1-2 and 2-3, so i have free transfers this round aswell as the next so i am looking to maximize this round.
I am currently running this setup
Manager: Stoke
Begovic (Myhill)
Luis, Caulker, Terry ,(moore, o'neil)
Chambers, Young, Ramsey, Mata , (roofe)
Costa, Rooney and Sturridge
Players in the () is subs, really just the cheapest i could find.
Currently planning to get siggy in, as well as chester and fabregas.
And i am planning to get rid of BegoVic, Young, chambers, Luis and mayb Begovic?
Any thoughts?Open Controls
Anyone good at predicting price falls etc given current run rate?
Is Haz going to fall this week? All plans out the window if so and won't bother with Mata -> Fab if soOpen Controls

The transfer market is mad
11,000 transfered out Shaw today, why was he in their teams at all?Open Controlsbecause he's so fat
Open ControlsI've no idea why people bought Barkley and Lovren ( π ) as well!
Open Controls
The mad thing is why they bought a 19 year old that came to a new club with huge expectations for 6m when he mustered 1 hole assist last season, oh and no goals. Plus he was expected to do a new job
Open Controls
About to use my FT on putting IInce in my team ... #moneyball?
Open ControlsAm I the only one thinking Sterling could ruin city?
He/liverpool are unstable but very unpredictable.
Ive just got a gut feeling. Bookmark!Open Controls
Do you think Chambers will start against Everton? I'm probably benching, but need a starter to come on if Luis doesn't get any minutes.
Open Controls
United to bounce back with a convincing win this week, away from the pressure of Old Trafford against a team statistically vulnerable through the centre of the park.

Mata > Fabregas confirmed.
Yes, I know it could backfire but I have to play the percentages whilst playing the team value game.Open ControlsIf free, makes basic sense.... Fabregas has easiest fixture
Open Controls
People spend the whole summer debating Fab or Hazard , choose Hazard and then have a mental breakdown over a couple of Fab assists.
Open Controlslike I said above, some people just need to chillax
Open Controlso/
Open Controls
Not to mention Hazard accumulated 24 bps without firing a shot. Had a few KP himself and should be on penalties. He dribbles allot, which is good for BPS this year.
We all know Hazard is the explosive type, whilst Fab is more the steady assister type. Sort of like Bale vs Silva two seasons back.Open Controlsπ +1
Open ControlsTo be fair, it takes nerves of steel to sit tight after watching Cesc score massively. That and the fear of missing out on a bandwagon --- despite it being only 1 game played.
Open ControlsThis. And I'm not sure that I have the requisite nerves of steel. It's bizarre to think, though, that I could have 4 of the top 6 midfielders on the FFS Watchlist and I'm sweating the two that I don't have (Sterling and Fabergas).
And, in my case, the need for nerves of steel are compounded by the fact that I want (probably irrationally) to hold on to Cabella and not use the extra cash I have to get either Sterling or Fabergas...Open Controls
Terry -----> Clyne for my free transfer?
Will keep a bit of cash in the bankOpen ControlsIf that's the best transfer you can think of, I'd save it and have two next week.
Open ControlsIf Clyne isnt going up in price this week then i think i will.
Happy with my 70 points this weekOpen Controls
That's mental.
Terry plays Leicester next week. He can have a double digit score.Open ControlsGood advice people
This is why I use this site

Genuinely wondering now if LVG was taking the piss Saturday. He's just crazy enougn to do it to convince the FO we needs signings in now.
Januzaj to WB
Nani on despite being well down the pecking order in preseason
Fellaini on for Herrera instead of Fletcher
Well played, Louis. Well played. Looks to have worked a trick.Open ControlsLooks like Hazard will go down on Friday. On -25% now. people shipping for Fab?
Open ControlsDo you think?? I really need him to keep his value-any chance transfers out won't increase?
I hate the price rises/falls!Open Controls
