The Big Numbers – Gameweek 6

Up next, we make our regular post-Gameweek assessment of the Opta data for our members.

The improved performances of Alvaro Morata, Jamie Vardy and Raheem Sterling come under close scrutiny, along with Man City’s relentless attack.

We also check out the impact of want-away midfield big-hitters Alexis Sanchez and Philippe Coutinho, before casting an eye over Marcos Alonso’s downturn in output as the Fantasy exodus on him picks up pace.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    A) Aguero > Lukaku; or

    B) Firmino > Rashford.

    Want United coverage v Palace.

      A

  2. BlzE_94

    Play Carroll vs whu OR Zanka vs spurs?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Carroll.

  3. Don Kloppeone
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Help me out - make one of these changes or stick?

    1) Firmino, Eriksen >> Vardy, Salah (-4pts)
    2) Firmino > Vardy (FT)
    3) Stick and have 2FT next week

    Current team
    1FT £0.3itb

    Foster, Elliot
    Alonso, Bavies, Jones, Mbemba, Schindler
    Eriksen, Mkhi, Ritchie, RLC, Carroll
    Aguero, Kane, Firmino

    Cheers in advance

      I done no2 and have same front 3

    2. czechow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Have the exact same problem and the same front 3. I want Firmino out but badly want Lukaku in. Also questioning whether the 2FT will be gold for international break...

      I am going Aguero > Kaku I think. Sticking with Firmino presently pending tonight's fixtures. It's a tough one.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not nervous of no Liverpool points?

        I don't like the sound of Aguero > Lukaku as it would literally be a 1 week transfer for the PAL game

        Firmino on the other hand I just generally off the pace so more of a long term option to remove

    3. jackhammer1
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd hold and have 2 ft for the international break

  4. Stevie B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do with this lot?

    de Gea (Elliot)
    Davies Dawson Otamendi (Fernández) (Löwe)
    Mkhitaryan Eriksen Choupo-Moting Atsu (Carroll)
    Lukaku (C) Kane Vardy

    Is the midfield too light?

    Thank you!

    Azpi + alonso anyone?

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Just the one

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Too pricey for me.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Bit pricey for my team but might get Luiz gw9

    4. One Man
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes I like this Combination Alonso will prob garnish more points than any other 7m or less player and Azpi is good value at 6.5m.
      I play to replace Firmino with Alonso or Azpi next week.

    Re Hemed's ban

    According to the local press

    Izzy Brown (5.3 mid) frontrunner to replace Hemed up top for next 3.

    Outside chance Jamie Murphy (4.9 mid) could be used as a false 9.

      So you're saying we should captain Monreal

      1. J0E
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Well it's certainly not looking good for Brighton goals.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Matt Ryan looking nailed now, Jonty?

      1. J0E
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He always was nailed.

        Krul brought in for competition.

        Also Krul signing permanently was more about freeing up one of their two loan alllocations - which they will need in January re striker.

        1. Gregor

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers, thinking of going Foster to Ryan next week if nothing else comes up, great rotation with Elliot and Brighton looking solid at home.

          1. J0E
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            • 15 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            may do that as well...haven't looked into the rotation yet with Elliot so good to know at least one goes well with him.

      another nail in the budget striker template coffin. cheapest starting striker worth having looking like vardy, maybe chicarito if you're maschocistic

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

    any thoughts on my team appreciated

    Fabianski
    Alonso, Jones, Davies, Mee
    Mhiktaryan, Eriksen, Ritchie
    Lukaku, Aguero, Firmino

    Elliot, Carroll, RLC, Long

    1.1 in the bank and 1 free transfer to do.
    currently thinking about morata, I want rid of firmino, maybe alonso to azpili, concerned about eriksen, and do i want kane back lol.

    1. Toby Lerone
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Get kane for kun

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

    A) Azpi - Eriksen - Kane - Abraham (or any other budget FW up to 6.3)
    B) Clark - Alli - Kane - Vardy
    C) Monreal - Alli - Lukaku - Vardy
    D) Stones - Alli - Kane - Rooney
    E) Monreal - Eriksen - Kane - Rooney

    I really want Kane though (after this GW). I'm tempted to go A.

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

  10. R.C.
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Salah or Alli as captain?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alli.

    2. COLLIN QUANER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Neither

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

    I'm seriously thinking Firmino > Vardy

    I know Mane is back but don't think it's enough and Vardy will explode, what do you think?

    Thanks

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Seems reasonable.

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i don't think anyone could blame you if you went either way, its a fair transfer to make. go with your gut

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Done that move already.

      Firmino could haul, but he's looking less and less like a striker. A penalty this week would be annoying.

    4. Supersonic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sticking with firm this week.. if he blanks then i will bounce him out with a couple of harder fixtures coming up

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

        Same here.. WC in mind for gw8
        Would take firmino out if this week is also a blank

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I've done the move Firmino 3 blanks on the bounce and Vardy scored 3 games on the bounce no brainer for me

    6. J0E
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm currently within just 0.1 of my ideal wildcard team - which includes Vardy.

      If he goes up and Firmino goes down before Friday I may have to act and switch them.

      Not keen on a pounds rather than points move....but I think in this case Vardy could easily get more.

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

        Thanks guys. Pains me to do this but Vardy it is! Firm just doesn't look a natural goal scorer and Vardy got easier run of games and also risk he will go up in value and Firmino down

  12. EWH2020
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso & Richarlison to Monreal & Sterling -4 points.

    Worth the hit?

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

      no way

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

      No

  13. darrellb
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    what would you rather wc into?
    A. morata, d.silva & vardy
    B. aguero, hazard & chicharito

    i thought A but RMT says B.

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'll go A

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

  14. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who de we think scores more this weekend out of the below options?

    1) Kane (c) + Jesus + Atsu

    2 Jesus (c) + Firmino + Alli + 4

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1, but jesus looks better next few GWs

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I have them both, will captain them in turns.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      2 with Alli captain

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I've captained him twice this season, was disastrous. IMO none of the Spurs assets apart from Kane are good enough for captaincy.

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Kane is the better captaincy option sure, just don't think the hit is worth it if you're bringing in Atsu for Alli as part of it. And Alli is a better option than Jesus this week

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Appreciate your inputs, cheers mate. 🙂

      Been thinking of using it myself want a good week going into the break I know it's not guaranteed but could put together a great side for this gw. Your team looks good for this mate but if u wanna use the chip it's up to u don't let people influence you

      1. THFC4LIFE

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Could well be. I put this lot together

          Pickford
          Bellerin Jones Monreal Bavies
          Salah Mkhi Atsu
          Kane Lukaku Lacazette

          Think it will score well

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

            That's a great team for his game week and for me a clever week to use the chip

            1. THFC4LIFE
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

                • 10 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                I can see the argument for and against could be a waste of a chip when blank game weeks come later in year but this week does have potential

                1. THFC4LIFE

                  Yep I agree very tempting though

  18. chefez91
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I'm wildcarding over the International Break, so what should I do for this weekend? I'm thinking of a straight swap Jesus to Lacazette (a), or doing Alli/Eriksen for Ramsay, and Jesus to Kane for -4 (b).

    1FT - 0.4m ITB

    Foster (Elliot)
    Bertrand - Mee - Jones (Otamendi, Mariappa)
    Mooy - Alli - Mkhitaryan - Eriksen - (Loftus-Cheek)
    Lukaku - Chicharito - Jesus

    Cheers

    1. COYS.

    2. FPL ZB

    Mendy my only ManCity player atm, have Alonso Kolasinac and Davies and think Im sticking with 442 for now
    Replacement
    A) Walker, threat
    B) Azpi double up with Alonso, rising it seems but in long run not as much threat
    C) Bellerín double up with Kola, nice fixtures and little extra cash.
    All 3 have nice fixtures except for this week Bellerín looks much better than other two.

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Bench Carroll Chalobah Hunemeier so only Carroll basically.

          Ye bench isn't great. All are good options imo Chelsea fixtures are great after the break aswel

    1) Jesus -> Morata
    2) Firmino -> Vardy
    3) Both (have 2FT)

    1. Dreams

      3

    2. lugs

      both good moves imo

    3. COLLIN QUANER

      Both

    4. Fred54

    Guys. Anyone know of Kanes stats post UCL game?
    Captained him vs Swansea and got burnt earlier. But his away record is insane.
    Difficult Kane vs Lukaku captaincy choice for me, and in sure many others

      Someone posted this.. i think it's around 81 min per goal for him

      Kane is definitely a good captain choice but Lukaku is a safer option

        By safer i mean most of the people would be going for Lukaku

      Nah, unless you're gonna get him back next week. Our fixtures aren't great after Palace so I'm looking to ship him on after that game.

    If I need to get one from Salah ot Coutinho as Pool cover for next month who would you prefer?

    Do you think that after the internationals it would be a good idea to do Eriksen to Mane when the fixtures of the two teams turn around?
