The Big Numbers – Gameweek 5

Our regular post-Gameweek delve into the members’ data is next on our Tuesday schedule.

We look at why Sergio Aguero has profited from a change of tactics and try to ascertain just why Harry Kane’s output remains a major issue at Wembley Stadium.

Man City, Brighton and Liverpool’s playmakers also find a place in this week’s article, while the West Ham and Swansea defences also catch the eye.

    Would you play Carroll (WAT) or Maguire (LIV)? And i've got 1.6 ITB but no FT, thinking of Speroni > Pickford next week if Everton progress. Or anyone else needing an upgrade?
    Elliot / Speroni
    Kolasinac / Jones / Fernandez - (Maguire/Cedric)
    Eriksen / Salah / Mkhi / Carroll (RLC)
    Kane(C) / Jesus / Wood

    "Given the depth of United's squad, it is likely that Jose Mourinho will field a strong side to face Burton, despite already confirming that David De Gea, Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly and Nemanja Matic will all be rested."

    Jones/Mkhi/Lukaku owners nervous?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Smalling & Lindelof will be the CBs.

      Mkhi & Kaku will not start might come on later.

      Martial, Lingard, Herera, Fellaini, Rashford, Darmian, Blind will all start.

  5. Botman and Robben
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Planning to get Kolasinac after Arsenals game tomorrow thus using my FT

    Will this be g2g hoping all are injury free on weekend?

    Elliot
    Mee Davies Kolasinac
    Groß Ritchie Eriksen Alli
    Firmino Jesus(c) Lukaku(v)

    Forster T.Carroll Dawson Hunemeier

    1. Daaf
      • 9 Years

      Yeah G2G

  6. Maddi Son
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any Leciester fans on here? Just wondering how Mahrez has looked this season. I know his stats aren't great this season but has he looked dangerous?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Leicester*

  7. Gooner Kebab
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Play one:

    a) Yoshida (MUN)
    b) Dawson (ars)

    1. Kushal
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Dawson

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Close but probably Dawson.

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Going to emirates to watch the game - a CS for Dawson would be a bum.

    4. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yoshida

  8. Kushal
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Play 2

    A) naughton WAT h
    B) atsu BHA a
    C) brady HUDD h

    1. Pegboy

  9. okidoki358
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts?

    Foster (Elliot)
    Otamendi - Mustafi - Jones - Davis (Mbemba)
    Mkhitaryan - Salah - Eriksen - Ritchie (Carroll)
    Lukaku - Aguero

    1. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I can't be bothered going to Wembley tonight.

      Your team is fine though.

      1. Pegboy
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Kane is going to punish you this weekend.

        1. Zikry
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          only people he's punished so far are his owners with his 4/5 blanks

          1. Pegboy
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Fair enough. Still think he'll score 4+ over next 3 game weeks.

            Can understand the scepticism though.

        2. okidoki358
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I got him on my squad at this moment but planning to use WC. I will probably wait until tomorrow...

  10. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    To Kun, or not to Kun...

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      to kun

  11. Gazpilicueta
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    time to bring in Sergio?

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Jones, Alonso, Davies, Mee, Long
    Eriksen, Ritchie, Mikhtaryan, Carroll, RLC
    Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

    0.2 in the bank and 1 free

    A) Save the free, Aguero can come in international break wildcard
    B) Kane to Aguero, get it done
    C) something else.....

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A, you've already missed 2 point rises.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        is that reason to miss more?

        1. Gooner Kebab
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          no, but an earlier transfer would've saved you some cash.

    2. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

  12. MartialMatas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anything worth using my other ft on?

    Begovic Elliot
    Bavies Jones Naughton Mee Long
    Eriksen Salah Mkhi Ramsey Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    1ft 0.3m itb

    1. Pegboy

      Save

  13. Pierce34
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any Newcastle fans around? What's the goalkeeper situation there? Is Woodman the primary back-up to Elliot, or will it be Darlow once fit? I remember reading he was out of favour with Benitez but that was from a while ago.

    1. ewangri
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure I remember reading that Woodman almost went on loan in the summer

  14. Gt1996
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A) Eriksen + Kante > Mkhi + Ritchie (0.4m itb)
    B) Alli + Kante > Mkhi + Ritchie (0.2m itb)
    C) Jones + Jesus > Mbemba + Aguero (0m itb)

    Which option is looking best right now?

    1. Kushal
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Pierce34
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not the ones with Kante. Never the ones with Kante. (unless you want to play Mbemba, in which case he's not nailed it seems)

      1. Pierce34
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Oops, sorry, misread it 😀

        In which case you should very much sell Kante - B.

    3. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

  15. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Had a Kane haircut last week, and even though the girls think I'm sexy, If he blanks again I'm getting a David Silva, period.

  16. R Whites
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Morata Kane Moting >>> Sergio Lukaku Atsu

    Hold or Take the -8 and save the headache?

    Foster - Elliot
    Davies - Jones - Naughton - Simpson - Mbemba
    Mhki - Eriksen - Salah - Moting - Carroll
    Kane - Vardy - Morata

    1. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Taking out Kane and Morata for a -8 might be the new definition of madness.

  17. nobwak
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If I make 2 FTs, and THEN use my free-hit, do the transfers I made still register when my team resets for the following gameweek?

    1. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes methinks

  18. Dybala10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What's everyone doing with Jones?

    GW8-11 looks a horrible period.

    Wait for him to be rotated/injured and sell or ship out before the hard games?

    1. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait.

  19. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I am only waiting for cup game to end and will do Kane to Kun.

    Don't care, if my rank is bad, I would rather love to be bad because of my City players than because of that Kane.

    Aguero, Jesus, Mendy - rock on, baby!

    1. Costaplenty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      this

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Until Kane scores a brace and Aguero blanks.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I've had enough of Kane blanks while Aguero kept scoring.

        If I could stick with Kane ignoring my Aguero, I will ignore Kane now. And yes, still won't own Lukaku.

    3. R Whites
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      So true

  20. JoshHuntCUFC
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Elliot 4.0
    Azpi 6.5, Davies 5.6, Daniels 4.9
    Mkhi 8.3, Ritchie 5.9, C-Moting 5.6, GroB 5.6
    Kane 12.5, Lukaku 11.6, Kun 11.5

    I'm aware this is very top heavy.

    Any direct swaps you would make with 0.3M in the bank? 2FT

    1. JoshHuntCUFC
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      PS I kind of like those 3 Strikers...

    2. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Strike force is fine.

      Azpi>Kola with your FT

    3. LC1
      • 9 Years

      Azpi > Kola

    Elliot (Foster)
    Alonso - *Mee - Jones - Bavies (Hunemeier)
    Miky - Salah - Ritchie (*Doucoure, Tarrol)

      Yourself

  22. Maddi Son
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino + Miki + Eriksen or Ritchie + Jesus + Salah (+0.4itb)

  23. Bubz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    This Rio Ferdinand starting boxing and hoping to fight for a title thing is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard for a while

    1. Costaplenty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      what are the others?

      1. Bubz
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Roy Hodgson

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Meh - his life - he can do what he wants.

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

        Deep

      2. Bubz
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        But to think he could compete professionally in boxing, starting at 38 years old, is incredibly delusional

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Too old! Yeah

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's a bit too old to start boxing AND think about fighting for a title?
      Looks like a midlife crisis to me!

  24. SpagBol
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    GK: Foster (Elliot)
    DEF: Alonso / Davies / Jones / TAA (Gamez)
    MID: Salah / Mkhitaryan / Ritchie (Carroll / Chalobah)
    FWD: Kane / Aguero / Vardy

    Cheers lads!! 🙂

  25. Conbhair
    • 8 Years

    Joselu or Tammy?

    Worth doing JRod > One of above for -4?

  26. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Danny Simpson or Kyle Naughton in for Scott Dann this week?

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Naughton then Simpson next week (that's my plan).

    2. Chenku╰☆╮

      Danny

    Arsenal have won the lowest percentage of headers in their own penalty area of any team in the Premier League this season - 52%.
    West Brom up next...
    .

  28. Zinedine Kilbane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    on my wildcard- any potential double risers I should get in today?

    1. Hardly Athletic
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero

  29. No Totti No Party
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    HI,
    A: Chicharito OUT Wood IN
    B: Play Chicha save Transfer
    C: You are F***ed with Chicha

    1. Pierce34
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C, but probably B and do more major restructuring next week.

  30. Lone Wolf
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Best up to 5.3 mid (not Atsu).

    1. Pierce34
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You're better off playing a defender in that price range probably.

    2. No Totti No Party
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Doucoure, or even Kante.

    3. Bergkampgoal
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can probably.
