With the Gameweek settled and the Reebok woodwork still reverberating from the efforts of a luckless Robin Van Persie, it’s time for our Members to soak up a selection of key stats from our Opta data. As usual, we’ve also thrown in our take on how the Fantasy Premier League bonus could pan out…

Team value £109.2m after WC. Others
Open Controls
Just 107.3
Open Controls
I don't get the point calculating 'real' values. Firstly, higher team value = higher 'real' value anyway. So no point in comparing-team-values-POV. Secondly, no one is gonna sell their all players during the rest of the season.
Open Controls
Higher team value doesn't = higher real value.
On WC my team value went down about 0.8 or so, but my 'real value' gained by about 0.4Open ControlsIt's still a proper jerking(off) in coffee cup kind of thing.
I'd be much happier to get RVP 0.5M£ cheaper ('real' value 0.2M£) compared to making 0.2M£ with some flash in the pan riser a la Dzeko earlier this season.Open Controls

The downside of selling Enrique, BAE, Walters etc. after buying them at the original priceOpen Controls
Well, it was 110.2m, but after playing my WC last week, it's not 109.4m. Not that it matters though, as my selling value is higher than it previously was.
Open Controls
£110.1m
Open Controls
Would Silva be an overkill if I already have Dzeko and Aguero? I'm bringing either him or a City defender in this week (thinking Clichy).
It's either Mata --> Silva or Gabiddon -- > ClichyOpen Controls
Off topic I know, and apologies if it's already been stated but was just killing time before bonuses are awarded - has anyone seen Man City's last game of the season?:
GW38: Man City vs QPR
Mark Hughes returns to the Etihad to thwart title bid anybody? 😉Open Controls
The headlines write themselves!
Open Controls
Play 2 of these for next week: Moses, Sess, Dempsey, Sturridge
Open Controls
I have never been in a position where i have two free transfers and nothing to do?
Any advice? I can't straight swap Ba in for Fletch so thats a no go.
Maybe changes in the back line?
I don't like Walters but can't ditch him with 3 home games in 4..Open Controls
Morning all,
some opinions and advice on this small dilemma, My front 7 6 are RVP, Aguero, Dempsey, Sess, Silva, Bale. (Pretty generic I know)
Do I play Graham, wba or McLean, sto ?
Cheers chapsOpen ControlsSo what's the GK rotation of choice now?
I'm looking at Sorensen/Hennessey - feels wrong though!Open Controls
Bale (c), Sess, Sinclair, Krul. I expect min 10 BAPs.
Open Controls
Ok, so I'm wildcarding this week and again in GW28. Silva, Bale, Dempsey, Aguero, RVP and Ba are pretty much nailed on picks for me over the next 4, so that leaves 2 MID spots to fill. Fixtures say one of Walters/Moses and a cheapie who has a decent GW25 like Siggs/O'Hara. This would mean dropping Sess though. Good move?
Open Controls
No not a very good move can you do...... Silva, Bale, Dempsey, Sess and McClean/Oxlade?
Open Controls
10 maybe
Open Controls
@Hard Van Toulouse: cheers for the feedback to my wild card epos mate!
Open Controls
Going to be tough choosing that good old third strikers spot! Currently have Sturridge, could quite easily go to any of the following:
A. Ba
B. Zamora
C. Cisse
D. Campbell
E. Ruiz
F. Yak (when he returns)
G. Other
What's the opinion of your good selves?Open Controls
Gotta be Ba.
Open ControlsI'm thinking this, in order for me to do it I need to shift Barfa as I already have Krul, Simpson and Barfa
Open Controls
Cisse or Zamora.
Open ControlsA
C
EOpen Controls
Got a similar problem with Ade. Decided to go with Ba to get some funds back and points!!. Will lose .6 transferring Ade
Open Controls
just do it. you won't want him back.
Open Controls
Should I keep mata or get rid? He has some pretty good fixtures coming up....
Current Midfield:
Dempsey, Bale, Silva & McCleanOpen Controls
I've shipped him out this week, had him in since the new year because of an easy run of fixtures and he hasn't delivered. Get rid. Valencia is a must IMO.
Open Controls
Hi all,
id love some opinions please!
my current wildcard team is~:
Krul/Mignolet
Raylor/Ntaylor/Kompany/Richards,???
Demps/SIlva/Sess/Valencia/Bale
Morison/RVP/Ba
Who is that ? defender. QPR have good fixtures but i cant bring myself to get a QPR defender. I have 5.3 to spend
what would you do?Open ControlsRaylor. LOL.
Open ControlsGet rid of him. He's sh*t.
Open ControlsRaylor and ??? -> Kelly and Huth.
Open Controls
Either (Liv or Ful) "Kelly" would be horrible...what's with the Huth love, didn't he pull in a donut this week?
Open Controls
w/ ba and cisse coming in, Cabaye out two more weeks, HBA playing worse defense than Raylor in MF, and Raylor playing OOP...you must be out of your mind...IGNORE HIM!!!
Open Controls
hmm yeh i know... will get rid once he is surplus to nukeasshole
Open Controls
There was a great post which pointed out the rotational perfection of Newcastle and Sunderland. Alternatively, with a Fulham/Swansea pairing.
So, keep Raylor and get Brown, Bridge, Bardsley...
Or get Kelly, Baird, Senderos and grab Evans as a good cheapie...Open Controls
thing with QPR is we dont know who is nailed on in defence with Marko yet... toughy
Open Controls
I'd maybe get Fulham def or maybe Sunderland? I've got Huth, not convinced but he's alway got me goals!
Open Controlsits a toughie. no defenders really stand out for me at the mo (apart from man citys). huth is was great last season but been a little dissapointing this season). i might autocomplete!
Open Controlsdon't waste the money on Huth, Taiwo should do for the near future, and upgrade one of the Citeh defenders to Verm...
Open Controls
Taiwo. Do it
Open Controls
I would not be surprised if RVP got some bonus points this week, he played really well despitre not scoring. THoughts?
Open Controlswill go to defenders I think...
Open Controls
Unlikely as he hit the woodwork twice, but the bonus for Bolton/Arsenal is a lottery - a high percentage of shots off target. Maybe it's Walcott/Ramsay who'll get some - they'll get credited for their fluffed one-on-ones.
Open Controls
At present Foward 8 is
Silva/Valencia/Mata/McClean/Dempsey
Rooney/Sturridge/Aguero
Thinking Bale/Ba/Zamora for McClean/Rooney/Strurridge for 4point hit (have 2ft’s)
What say you?Open Controls
Im thinking of ditching Skrtel this week cause his fixtures aint too hot looking forth from now. Best option for the next few weeks would be?
Evans.
Shawcross.
Koscielny.
BAE.
Or anyone else? Ta guys.Open Controls
So BAE->Taiwo after BAE's 0.1 rise this gw. Sounds good despite though i will lose 0.4 on BAE?
Open Controls
Finger hovering over WC button....
Mignolet Vorm
Richards Santon Evans Taiwo Taylor R
McClean Silva Sessegnon Bale Sigurdsson
Van Persie Ba Aguero
£0.1 in bank
Waddaya think?
Only things causin chin scratching are:
Golkeeper rotation (although would look at bringing in Lindenboom when fit).
Two Sundy mids (but this is with an eye on shipping Sess soonish)
And generally who to f'ing bench.Open Controls
Why not Krul + Mignolet? Vorm seems to have lost his magic charm. It's all upto what you believe though.
I'd downgrade Aguero to BZ/Cisse/Yak and upgrade one your cheaper mids to Dempsey and Raylor to Komp.Open Controlsyeah I've never felt that comfy with aguero for that dosh,,, off for some more chin scratching.
Ta.Open Controls
Doesn't make you sick when your strike force of RVP, Aguero and Ade amass a grand total of 6 pts!!
Open ControlsI think those who got 8 pts for the same combination will be more sick.
Open Controls
Whats the hold up?
Maybe reviewing McCleans dodgy assist?Open ControlsDodgy - yes. Assist - definitely.
Open Controls
people who have ben arfa, who are you taking him out for?
Open Controls
siggy / dyer / mcclean -> undecided (have another few days to think)
Open Controls
Brown out for 8 weeks. Who's a good replacement at 4.5 m? got evans and simpo
Open Controls
Anyone else not sure of their best Starting XI for this week:-
Krul Lindegaard
Santon Skrtel Richards Evans Naylor
Bale Walters Silva Dempsey McClean
Dzeko Sturridge Van Persie
Any advice/opinions on who to bench from the above; i'm thinking Lindy, Naylor, Skrtel & McClean (on the premise that Sturridge will be replaced by Ba once confirmation he's gonna play)
CheersOpen ControlsI'd bench Evans over Naylor.
Open Controls
Some advice needed if you don't mind:
I got Walters on my WC (if only I'd gone Sess...) and planned to keep him for his good fixtures and then swap for Valencia in time for his. However, looking at their fixtures now in light of their respective form, Valencia's don't look so terrible and Walters's don't look that great, so I was thinking of pulling the trigger now before Valencia's price rises.
So really, I'm just after opinions as to whether to stick or twist? I have a free transfer so it'll cost nothing and I have no other Man Utd attacking coverage (or Stoke if that matters).Open ControlsI think you should stick i got him over Dempsey and am of a belief that it would be silly to lose him now with his current fixtures.
Open ControlsThat's exactly what I thought but I'm beginning to question whether his fixtures are that good
SUN - definitely not as easy as it looked pre MO'N
ful - Never seems to do much away
SWA - 3 days after the second leg v Valencia. Plus you never know with Swansea.
NOR - Good shout for scoring points.
That really only gives him 1 good fixture in 4!Open Controls
Sorry to say this guys, but I'm soooo happy at RVP 2 points... 🙁
Open Controls
ENRIQUE -->> RAYLOR???(and the following week Williamson --> Evans)
Can't bring myself to press transfer after having Enrique since the beginning of time..Open Controls
My captains have scored 14 points in three weeks..........God I am so goooooooood!! My rival has scored about 90 odd over the same period......is there too much emphasis on the captain choice or do you peeps think it evens itself up over a season.........maybe its just sour grapes.........
Open ControlsPicking a good captain is probably the second most important part of the game, after picking a good team.

12 years, 3 months agoAny chance of RVP getting any BAPs?
