Gameweek 25 is only just finished but there’s another one round the corner already. Here’s our regular analysis of the Gameweek OPTA stats, offering Members a closer look at some of the most impressive performers in those midweek matches just gone by…
People want a cheap doubler I suppose, and it is a double gameweek against Blackburn and Birmingham tbh, hardly Real Madrid of the 50s.
His PPG is 5.4 and if he can get anywhere near that he'll be fine.Open Controls
Ewood and St Andrews are quite the fortress these days, and Newcastle aren't exactly Barcelona 08/09.
A decent player with 2 resonable fixtures will outscore him.Open ControlsYeah I guess. I'm not buying him myself, but as a cheap option I absolutely think he's good enough value for money.
Open Controls
i wonder what his ppg is without carroll though?
Open ControlsBentley or Gardner seem much better value, just depends how your set for GW28 I guess.
Open Controls
I think he has great fixtures...
ARS blk/bir BOL EVE stk WLV
The important thing is havinbg a good fixturre in wk 28 and 29Open Controls
No love from me. I'm thinking of just getting A.Young or Cahill for that 5th midfield spot. If I decide to get a DGWer it will probably be Bentley or Etherington.
Open Controls
I currently have 5DGW players for selection. I want more. 2 free transfers this, will make one change so I can have 2 free changes for DGW. One of those free changes will be Tevez--->RVP other is Dempsey for undecided.
For this week I need to ship out Nasri. I ideally want a DGW player or I can take a punt on Young. I am only looking until GW29 and not long term so not to keen on Young. Who is my best bet for this week who will be a gd choice for DGW27? Nolan, Bentley or Lennon, ruled of Ethers..Open Controls
Ethers or bentley. Im on my wildcard and ethers is in there at present id have bentley i think if it wouldnt cause such a headache for the cancelled games in GW28. I already have five players not playing that GW
Open ControlsI am leaning to Bentley cos Brum have two home games. Dunno about likes of Walcott, possible rotation risk with Barca game in between their double. Lennon looks v tempting though..
Bentley maybe less of gamble due to home games...Open Controls
Bentley, decent fixture this week, then good double. Bench wk 28 then another double.
Open ControlsIf I do Bentley for Nasri this week. Who would you bring in for Dempsey next week? Young, Lennon, Nolan, walcott or any other ideas?
Open Controls
Moyes has really gone down in my estimation. Ok, Fab is not without sin, but for a prem manager to grass a player up on tv is really poor. 🙁
Open Controls
Yeah when I heard what he said after the match last night I was pretty disappointed with him. I thought he was above all that but that said there certaintly seems to be bad feeling from some PL managers towards Cesc
Open Controls
Because he's - evidently - a massive nob?
Perhaps, just perhaps, Cesc has finally reached that saturation-point -- wherein now any misstep is openly called out?Open Controls
Im not an advocate of snitching but fabregas really is truly horrid individual. Easily my most hated prem player
Open ControlsBased on Diouf no longer in the Prem?! Seriously, there are far worse who have no where near his ability. You have an agenda clearly!
Open ControlsHaha! What could my 'agenda' possibly be?! I simply find him to be the most petulent, arrogant person in the league simple as that. 'agenda' that tickled me.
Open ControlsBut does ability increase the right of a player to be a tool? Or decrease it?
And - to be fair - maybe some of the backlash isn't Cesc's fault ... perhaps it belongs with Wenger, et al, who masqueraded Fabbycakes as some Saint-in-waiting.
Had he been presented as the newest G. Neville/Roy Keane, this stuff wouldn't really be news, would it?Open ControlsOf course not, but a player with a bad attitude who graces the league with entertainment surely can't be hated more than one who is equally or more obnoxious but provides no entertainment value.
Open ControlsFair enough. [*thinking: Robbie Savage*]
Still, the "story" seems more a story to those who haven't paid much attention to Fabby over the last couple of years.
I say: Bring back Thierry to give him wedgies and steal his jock again. Good times. 🙂Open Controls
thats hardly a snitch
Open Controls
i really think tevez could have a stormer this weekend against west brom so any opinions on these options please?
A) vidic out odemwinge out ... tevez and someone 4.6 or less in
B)rooney out tevez in, no point hit
C)forget tevez and play brunt/ odem instead
any ideas? tevez would prob be captain as wellOpen Controls
Reluctantly A - I feel the same about Tevez for this weekend but I will keep Rooney and probably bin Torres (I can see him grabbing one v Liverpool though).
Will probably get rid of Rooney for gw27 as I will have him and Tevez upfront. Trouble is I think United will beat City but City have two juicy home fixtures after the United game 🙁Open Controls
1) Adam + Rooney
2) Cahill + Berb
?Open ControlsCheers, appreciate the thoughts 🙂
Open Controls
anyone consider Nolan now. Only real goal getter newcastle have?
Open Controls
yeah I am
Open ControlsI think he's worth considering and I just have that funny feeling that Newcastle will get some sort of result V Arsenal (2-1; 1-1??).
I don't like Newcastle's dgw fixtures but you can't have everything. Bolton at home in gw28 also looks profitable on paper.Open Controls
opinions on wc team?
szczeny/al habsi
carr/coleman/kolarov/kelly/bardsley
adam/vdv/fabs/nani/cahill
odem/rvp/tevez
1.8 in the bank allows me to switch it up if needs be, eg rvp to rooney
or should i downgrade cahill and upgrade my keeper and defence??Open Controls
Is my team ok this GW or should I use my WC???
I know skrtel will be week this week with chelsea
Foster
Skrtel Vidic Hagaland (jara Simpson)
Nani Walcott Adam VDV (dempsey)
Tevez Berba RVPOpen Controlsweak even lol
Open Controls
First rate my wc team
Begovic, Foster
Raphael, Walker, Djourou, Coleman, Kelly
Barton, Nani, Fabregas, VDV, Adam
RVP, Berbatov, Tevez
any thoughts hugely welcome, bit skinny at the back I know but could hopefully get at least 3 defs with decent fixtures each gw.Open Controls
It's fine at the back. Same as mine in fact although I have Vidic instead of Rafael. I don't like Barton for all sorts of reasons and if you have him for the DGW, who are you dropping that week?
Open ControlsSee Barton as a cheapo season keeper with the way Newcastle play and him getting the occasional assist. Thinking 3-4-3 most weeks. Initial thought was to drop Tevez for dgw.
Open Controls
personally id rather have a better mid than barton and sacrifice berba, but its your choice..
ive gone with odemwingie + cahillOpen Controls
My team currently has Djourou, Cesc, Walcott, vdv, Adam, Odem For Gw 27 which other Doublers would you get in?
Open ControlsLennon or Bentley
Open ControlsCheers guys, not overly keen on Brum, because they dont play GW28. Probably won't overload this DGW and just hope for the best, i don't think it will be high scoring like the last, even Arsenal have an important Champions League game inbetween.
Open Controls
is bosingwa sure to play the pool game this weekend????

Andy Murray did well this week.Open Controls
Well found! His bro didn't do too bad either:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/eventhist.mc?id=649304Open ControlsGot the same as me!
Open Controls
He did.
Wonder how the tennis player Andy Murray did?Open ControlsReally? I thought he was Scottish.
Open Controls
Obviously reckons he's gonna win Wimbledon this year then
Open Controls
It must be him, because it says it's him. People don't lie on the internet.
Open ControlsWell if it isn't then someone needs to really get a life. Jamie Murray, Alex Ward & Laura Robson all in the same leagues..
Open ControlsIt probably is him, but people really are sad enough to go that far to make it look realistic.
Open ControlsLaura Robson tweeted to a friend that her team was called Robson United. Which is a team in Jamie Murrays other league, and hes in the same league as Andy.
It all adds up!
My stalking here is doneOpen ControlsGood work, now find the team of Anna Kournikova would ya? 😉
Open ControlsPlus Robson tweeted to Alex Ward that she's going to catch him cos she used her wildcard. She actually did use it that week..
Everything adds up! Andy Murray following this site on his official twitter is the biggest giveaway imo.Open Controls
That's actually Andy Murray..
His brother is in his league and go onto some of his brothers leagues and Laura Robson is in one of them and another young male tennis player. Andy & Jamie Murray both also follows this site on twitter.Open Controls
Yep. Also, Ross Hutchins is in their league, who is Andy's ex-coach.
Open ControlsWait, I am chatting sh*t. Ross Hutchins is this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Hutchins.
Open Controls
oh ooo...lol 😆 where did you find his team sd you stalker?
Open ControlsSomeone on this site found it, can't remember who though. I remember someone mentioning that he follows this site on twitter, so I mentioned it on here and someone went and found his team.
Open Controls
That Jamie Delgado's a Davis Cup player as well. Still a bit befuddled with the England flag tho. Maybe he's trying to appease that masses who started greeting when he said he'd like to see anyone but England win the World Cup.
Open ControlsWhen you choose your country it asks for the country you reside in not where you were born.
Open Controls
Johnny Delgado... what a name, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AepyGm9Me6w
Open Controls
That's some scouting!!! 🙂
Open Controls
Is my team ok this GW or should I use my WC to get out a few player ie Skrtel V chelsea???
Foster
Skrtel Vidic Hagaland (jara Simpson)
Nani Walcott Adam VDV (dempsey)
Tevez Berba RVPOpen ControlsHas leon best got someone elses legs on?
Open ControlsNew post
Open Controls
I have, without doubt, undeniably, incontrovertibly, undoubtedly, incontestably and other such adjectives that I can't quite think of at the moment just done the most boring transfer of this season or any other:
D Murphy (3.9) OUT D Simpson (3.9) INOpen Controls
I've noticed Simpson in a lot of WCs lately. What gives?
Home at Arsenal, a DGW on the road, then some OK fixtures?
Is he really just a low value place holder with upside? What is his upside?
If Foley were playing would Simpson take a back seat?Open Controls
Im going to give him the flick when use wildcard.
Walker or Kelly are not much more expensive and far more usefulOpen Controls
Etheringhton or Bentley for a WC?
Open Controls
13 years, 3 months agoWhats with the Nolan love?
Some pretty miserable fixtures GW26&27
