Paul With a quarter of the season now gone, we’ve decided to cast an eye over the shooting accuracy of the Premier League’s finest in this, our latest Numbers Game article for Members.
In order to eliminate most anomalies here, only those players who have had at least 10 shots at goal and have at least 2 goals are analysed. This still leaves a substantial sample size of the top flight’s main men to scour over and turns up the usual array of interesting results.
sorry for the noobishness but if i gots 2 free transfers this week and use 1 how many do i have next week?
still 2 x
hmmm, that's a tough one, I'll just go get the daughters abacus
3?
why the attempts at sarcasm? thought it was a reasonable query
ah no it's 2 man, It just sounded like the age old problem "If I had 2 apples..."
...and ate one and then returned to my magic apple tree next week...
Are you serious? You are ranked 532th in the world and don't even know the rules?
all luck obviously. oh and generally not having my questions answered by a dingus
Captaining Samba last week? Luck? Skill.
Imagine if he hadn't benched Nasri... Wowser.
Option A - Bale to Adam, Malouda to Fabs - 4 point hit.
Option B - Bale to Walcott.
Option C - Tevez to Chamakh, Malouda to Fabs - 4ph.
Option D - Tevez to Chamakh, Bale to Nasri, Malouda to Fabs, 8ph.
Option E - Do nothing.
So tempted on a mad option D!
I did C myself
I think that's (C) the best option. But to be honest, D isn't terrible either. I can easily see Arsenal winning 5-0 this weekend, and then you'll probably get the 4 points spent on Nasri back. Their next games are good ones too.
Thanks chaps, I'm waiting til the last to make my mind up.
I did Option F:
Malouda straight to Fabregas, no hit.
Now I may turn it into C - for a - 4 to bring in Chamakh.
I don't want Chamakh long term though and I do want Tevez, so I may hold on to Tevez and suck it up. Difficult but I don't like Chamakh long term and it's - 4 out and then need to get Carlos back in at a higher price in 3-4 weeks without improving the rest of the team that's holding me back.
elmander any day. just brought him in x
Gw 14 -17 Carrol -->Elmander/Davies
In case you hadn't noticed you can't plan two weeks ahead in this game without someone scuppering your plans, let alone ten weeks!
and it's always you wild rover you scupperer
Team as it stands now
Hahnemann (Foster)
A Cole, Elmo, Coleman (Evatt, Baptiste)
Malouda, VDV, Nani (c), Brunt, Scholes
Drogba, Carroll (Tevez)
Worth transferring Tevez out for Chamakh this weekend and captaining Chamakh?
A punt on Tim Cahill anyone? Fixtures look good, 4 goals already, bit of a differential.
I'm tempted.
I was - I had the mad notion of doing Gerrard > Fabs & Malouda > Cahill this week. Will probably be ultra-conservative and just do the fabs swap. I wouldn't put anybody off doing it though.
If I had the room, yes. Definitely worth a shot where he is playing and the opponents.
just had a lsiten to a tevez piece on newstalk, they reckon hes had no holiday cos of the world cup. Its slightly worrying me. Only because if mancini wants to keep him happy, he may well just let him stay at home for a week or two. I know west brom are doing well and all, but city SHOULD do it without him.
He's a professional. Bound by a contract. Club Captain. And he loves to play.
He'll be off for his 4 day trip and back Sunday night as all reports have said.
He will return to training on Monday.
The WBA fixtures is Sunday the 7th. He'll have been back for an entire week by then.
He'll already have missed 2 matches - WOLVES and a Europa League match against Lech Poznan.
His owners will hope that City fail to beat either Wolves or Lech Poznan.
If that's the case he's almost guaranteed to start against WBA, thus only missing 1 game.
I'm keeping him.
Note: I'm in at 10.4M. I'd drop him if I was in at 10.8M or 10.9M.
i agree with all that man, hes temperamental though, and he might get special treatment is all
I got him in at 10.6, he's 11 now. (10.8 to sell)
You reckon he should go?
That's sort of the "on the fence" price.
I would probably sell him for 10.8M if you have to do so to get in Fabregas or you have a long term plan that makes sense.
If he goes down to 10.9M, it's only 0.1M lost. Not bad at all. Will you want to bring him back in though within the month?
Really up to you, I'm holding. I think he'll score 20 league goals and I don't think I'll be able to get him for cheaper than 10.8M in the near future.
Bought at 10.4M - will keep him. Improve my squad elsewhere as I have some other targets.
Brought in Fabregas this week. Will bring in VDV next week. By that time Tevez will be back and I'll have a leg up on others in my mini league who don't own him, as well as another great captain option going forward.
Well there is a way to get Fabregas without him, because I am willing to do Malouda --> Fabregas. Also thinking Bale --> Cahill (4 point hit)
However would love Chicharito's points over next 2 weeks. I probably would want him back however, at least until Rooney or RVP are competing with him.
Basically 3 options: (Already done Shawcross --> Coleman)
A: Malouda --> Cesc
Bale --> Cahill (Tim)/ Arteta (4 point)
B: Bale --> Cesc
Tevez --> Pea
C: Malouda, Bale, Tevez --> Cesc, Cahill/Arteta, Pea
Leaning towards A
I miss your posts Ibra. Thumbs up.
I'm in the same boat as you, and was of the same mindset - however...
Say you drop Tevez for Chamakh, Tevez will drop by 0.1, possibly 0.2 before you need him again.
Chamakh has a good/fair chance of rising by 0.2 (0.1 in real terms). Arsenal have good fixtures so aside from the extra points you may or may not gain by playing him, in the event that Tevez does take longer to come back from injury (highly possible), then not only are you not losing value, you're also scoring points.
Arsenal have a good game this weekend and with Fabs back i expect them to be alot mroe clinical - watchin arsenal without Fabs i think they've lacked that killer ball, too much trying to pass it in to the net, i wouldn't be surprised to see Chamakh do well with him back.
My only worry is the Bendy effect...
Great argument. And I have been tempted by Chamakh today but, again, I'll have to take him out within the month (RVP / Bendtner, etc.) and when I've watched him in "real life" he hasn't impressed me- and I hate buying those types of players. (Though he has had a good fantasy impact at home.)
May still go down that route if I get an itchy trigger finger but will be so let down if Tevez returns against West Brom and is only down to 10.9M and Chamakh gets 2 points against West Ham in a Nasri / Asrshavin / Cesc led 2 - 1 London derby win...
Yep, i hear that, and it's been niggling at me too.
It's just as easy to think about a Chamakh hattrick and Tevez out until the manchester game or beyond.
Tricky decision to say the least!
well that is troubling, and this states Tevez as "all but certain" to miss West Brom which also worries me
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=836796&sec=england&cc=5901
Few options this week!
A) Bale > Fabregas, Tevez > Elmander / Hernandez
B) Nasri > Fabregas, Tevez > Elmander / Hernandez
C) Nani > Fabregas, Tevez > Chamakh / Berbatov (or even the cheapies above)
Which one looks best? All for a 4pt hit!
Still unsure on this whole Tevez thing but its ok because the new season of Friday Night Lights is on the net baby! Wooop!
Team is
Krul(Carson)
Konchesky Coleman Elmohamady (Jones Dann)
N'Zogbia Adam Malouda Gerrard Bale
Drogba Tevez (Piqionne)
I have 1 free transfer
Should I do
A - Bale>>Fabregas, Tevez>>Hernandez
B - Bale>>Fabregas, Jones>>Bosingwa and Tevez>>DJ Campbell
C - Bale>>Fabregas, Jones>>Bosingwa and Tevez>>Odemwingie
D - Go to bed?
My WC Plan:
Team:
Al Habsi-Foster
Cashley-Mummy-Coleman-Boswinga-Simpson
Nani-Brunt-Barton-Fabregas-Nasri
Carroll-Hernandez-Drogba
GW12 plan to do Cashley,Coleman,Nasri > Kolarov,Tamas,VDV
GW13 Hernandez > Tevez
How does that sound? Current team OK for next couple GWs at least?
Main problem I have is tripling up on Newcastle...But Barton seems best choice in his price range, same with Carroll and same with Simpson!
I wouldn't do it. Tevez isn't worth giving up Cashley, Coleman and Nasri.
I'd do Hernandez>Dembele and N'Zogbia>VDV if you can afford it?
I get what your saying but I want to play 3 in defense most weeks. I reckon Mummy is a must. So will Kolarov be when fit. The Bos-man is a risk but one I'm willing to take.
Either way though, those transfers are at least 2 weeks away. You reckon the team is good for next 2 GWs?
i just installed the greasemonkey add on for firefox, but no change on the transfers page, what am i doing wrong here, should it automatically interact with premierleague.com after its installed and a restart?
actually, got it, sorry http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/34047
for any noobs, you need to install the greasemonkey addon in firefox first
You need the razza script RBJ - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/34047
Should solve the cheeky little fella.
Noob 😉
That's really weird RBJ - two similar replies to your posts without reading your replies. Spooky.
im scared...hold me!
Only if you send me $1,000,000,000 Ugandan Dollars!
cheers, had it on my laptop, but not pc
Greasemonkey has been running slow for a good 6 months now man.You really should get a MargarineMacau2010 flash update instead if you can? That's what most people here use I presume?
Can't speak for 'most people' but I don't know what the fcuk you are talking about! 😳
ditto. Please elaborate dog
Ha, don't know what greasemonkey is either!
ya im confused by all that talk
but i downloaded that add on that rbj linked, no greasemonkey thing
and it has done stuff to my fpl page
maybe u dont need it if your using google chroome as a browser
OK, FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS
go to firefox addons, under tools, search for greasemonkey. install add on, then follow the link i put in above, click the install button.
go to your fpl page
read all the things on that link that tells you what it does.
and presto, youre now better informed.
i particularly like the my team filter on the transfers page
no i get that
im just saying i gotd the addon , but not the greasemonkey one, so im just wondering is it not needed for google chrome?
a man i havent a clue, just install the script and go to your transfers page and youll see. i dont know about chrime but i doubt chrome automatically pimps out your FPL
the home and away form thing is great too!
An attempt at humour on the word Greasemonkey? I have know idea?
No idea - Jesus I'm tired
I need a big score this week to make up some ground. Any thoughts?
Jussi (Foster)
Coleman, OShea, Williamson (Dann, VanDamme)
Fabregas (c), Essien, Nani, Nasri, Bale
Drogba, Chamak, (Piquionne)
I am losing sleep over Bale, think he has a big score on the way and i know the minute i transfer him it will happen. Was thinkin Bale -> Adam or Brunt
Thats exactly what I think, as soon as I ship out Bale, he'll go and get a hat-trick or something!
If G neville plays this week he will surely be in the money!! Etherington tore him apart last week. Cant imagine Fergie will let that happen again though
Sometimes overthinking is the downfall mate!If you have a gutfeeling go with it,you may be wrong at the end of it but you may not!I've started just trying to think less about my transfers and listening what others are doing,do what YOU feel is right!
Cheers dude, gut feel is to stick with Bale. Have good arsenal cover this week which hopefully will see me right. Will hold the transfer for next week when fabs gets injured again!
I would consider playing Foster given the state of the Villa attack
yeah food for thought, but seeing as birmingham have conceded at least two in every away game so far this year i cant see a clean sheet here. liverpool have only scored in one game on the road, so think there is a better chance of a Jussi clean sheet, unless of course he wears his boxing gloves again!
is it worth getting alan hutton or will corluka be starting for spurs again soon? is it a good sub for short term and long term purposes? thanks alot x
North London defenders should never be on the radar at the moment.
Tevez injury - my options
a) tevez out chamakh in avoiding rise 4 point hit
b) tevez out berb in 4 point hit
c) tevez out bent in 4 point hit
d) tevez out torres in 4 point hit
e) do nothing
leaning towards a have fabs
bought tevez at 10.7 so am selling at 10.8 probably won't get him back and get RVP when fit
a or b or e
c/d not worth it
a or e for me as United strikers are so hit and miss at the moment.Berbs has one assist in 4 games, Little P is still a bit of the unknown at the moment but I hear one swallow makes a summer for some fans.
Saving money and an extra transfer - he has already done 3!
Would it be worth a 4 point hit to do Tevez > Hernandez to get the team below. Or would Chamakh be a better option?
Hahnemann
Coleman Elmohamady Konchesky
Fabregas(C) Bale Nani Brunt
Drogba Carroll Hernandez
Foster Dann Samba Albrighton
Anyone else afraid after all these transfers and points hits, after restructuring our team to incorporate Fabregas, our captain is going to hobble off scoring one point or do nothing for a rare low scoring 2 points?
I'm very concerned that might happen. Would not be the first time. Oh, he usually gets something before he's injured at least
sometime when the whole site goes into a frenzy for one player like this it seems those rivals who dont use the site still seem to do as well if not better somehow. dont get me wrong im on the bandwagon big-time but im a little wary
Can't even bring myself to think about it. Would be a disaster of epic proportions - but funny in a twisted kind of way.
I'm overacheiving massively so getting my inevitable downfall over and done with would be a relief in some sense, i guess.
Fosters!
For this GW I just might start Enrique instead of ElMuhmm. Sunderland not doing so good away so slightly higher chance of a CS from Newcastle? Also, Enrique “due” an assist or BP? Finally, would save me from cheering on Carroll to score against ElMuhmm. Thoughts?
I'm thinking the same - Sunderland struggle to score unless it's a Dunne o.g. or Bent peno. For that reason I'm dropping Mummy to the bench as I want Carroll to go nuts and Newcastle to also keep a CS. Bit defensive to play Carroll & Mummy imo.
Cheers DFD. I suggested dropping the Mummy on here a couple of nights ago and was shot down.
Hey Gang!
Ratify My Teambuilding:
Foster Hahnemann
Konchesky Alcaraz Coleman Dann Enrique
Fabregas Walcott Malouda Essien Nani
Berbatov Hernandez Bendtner
I've tinkered a little and I can do the above but it's a 12pt hit. Or I could WC it...
Where has the United love come from Teddy, sad times. Chamakh over Bendy who will get 20mins tops.
I would like to get Hernandez in for two weeks myself, take his points then sell up shop, but don't want to drop any of my front seven so... why am I even typing this. Might make another Ubecha and throw him in to sate that urge.
Back to the choosing a striker I don't mind benching this week. Perverse.
Life on the edge this week Andy eh, but I'm sure it's part of a bigger plan. I too wouldn't mind Little P for 2 weeks but not for a 4 point hit - it worked out well for me in Yahoo this weekend gone though.
I always have to flirt with some irrational Emirates talent at some point in the season!
I expect to see this...
Song, Diaby
Nasri, Fabs, Arshavin
Chamakh
Every dog may have it's day, and Bendtner/Wally may have good weeks to come. Not this one. Not for me.
Yup. Agreed. Can't see anything but that line up this weekend for the gooners.
Hate to pee on your fireworks guys but Diaby is very doubtful. http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/unlucky-gibbs-out-for-a-few-weeks-
And if I were to WC I'd switch up my defence to:
Gilks Al-Habsi
Bosingwa Elmohamady Konchesky Coleman Simpson
Life on the edge Teddy - more rotation watch than the Magic roundabout. Al-Habsi looks dropped now for Kirkland too as probably expected.
Oh god, that show used to be funny when Dara O'Briain presented. It's awful now.
Seriously though as anyone heard of this wolfman dude before
my major problem with that shite is that its all scripted, and they pretend to laugh at it.
Remember who's line is it anyway? THAT is how to do improv. ALl those shows are scripted now, the way they segway into things is just wayyyyy too convenient.
People dont seem to mind though, but i'm a bit of a comedy connoisseur, so it matters to me.
Any arsenal fans (MFaulkner etc) have any thoughts about how much gametime we can expect from Chamakh over the next 3 GWs?
I'm considering a 4pt hit to get him in for Tevez.
But if Bendtner is likely to take a decent amount of gametime from him...it obviously isn't worth it.
At least 220 mins I would say, subbed off towards the end. Bendy will be eased back slowly I think and Chamakh is the senior figure in the team so Bendy will have to be patient.
Although Bendy is the greatest striker the world has ever seen he will have to be content with bit part appearances over the coming weeks. He also started vs Newcastle so you can expect him to drop to the bench again as Wenger gets his cotton wool out.
For sure - 2 game punt. He loves the Emirates too. In Europe & Prem.
If you didn't have fabs, would you captain Nasri or Chamakh this GW?
I see you've done your 2 transfers this week. Are you not Fabbing up your team?
Nasri IMO.
Love your ranking.
Not done any transfers yet, still cant decide
N'Zobia/Tevez -->Nasri/Chamakh
Malouda/Tevez -->Fabregas/Chamakh
The chamakh move is only short term 2/3 GW's
Yeah sorry I click on so many links it gets confusing.
Second one if I was you. Although I've gone Fabs and held onto Malouda and gone for the 2 cheapy forward strategy
Chamakh will play around 70 mins this week I am guessing and Bendtner may start vs Newcastle as Chamakh will play in the CL. If all goes to plan RVP is due back to following week but having said that, Chamakh could certainly give some decent rewards even with limited game time with Arsenal's fixtures.
I'm about to sale Bale for Fabregas, this IS a good idea right?
Some more info on the greasemonkey shit, regarding the rating number
http://www.fiso.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=49989
So there's no chance of Alex starting this weekend then?
Here we go again 🙄 We will find out more from the press conference tomorrow. I would say he sounds fit and ready.
how those this team look for this gwk and coming gwks
foster
elmo knight coleman
nani malouda fabs(c) n'zog
drogba chamakh carroll
Subs: hahnemann, shawx, jara, routledge
took a 4pt hit this week
perch -> coleman
tevez -> chamakh
Coleman or Elmohamady for the rest of the season?
Mummy definitely. No rotation risk (pretty much)
