The Big Numbers – Gameweek Twenty Three

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…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    If you already had Sorenson, who would you rather have for the next 4 games?

    a) Huth
    b) Walters

        Richards, Simpson, Senderos, Caulker, Williamson

            This is what I'm on right now, although I am tempted with a cheeky punt on Walcott (BLA) in place of Dempsey (mcy) for GW24 (would switch back to Dempsey in GW25). Whatcha reckon?

      Im keeping Enrique and BAE (for now)

      BAE is still rising in price , this is my main reason and not all their fixtures are bad. Its tottenams opponents that have the hard fxtures!! And BAE been very attacking of late ,, always chance of assist and the occasional bonus point.
      For what you get he not that expensive

    Not that I'm complaining as a Chelsea fan, but the margins involved with my keepers this week have been ridiculous.

    Vorm is 30 seconds away from 7 points, only for a deflected cross to shoot him back down to 3, and then Krul ends up with double figures thanks to a horrendous penalty.

    Vorm. Lindegaard.
    Richards. Skrtel. Simpson. Caulker. Kelly
    Valencia. Bale. Silva. Sessegnon. Dempsey.
    Morison. RVP. Aguero.

    What would you change for this gameweek guys? 2 FTs available.

    I was thinking of offloading Skrtel this week as their fixtures arent too hot looking forward. Any CS picks for next week guys?

      You could start by showing us the team you intend to play this week, rather than the one just gone by...

      Obviously R.Taylor and Shotton will come in (although he might have lost his place) alongside Evans is probably your best bet...

      Other than that, I don't see much wrong... WAIT A MINUTE... you don't have RVP!!?

      Ok, now I can see a glaring problem that needs to be fixed...
