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…
and I...but all my opp are below me *scratches head*

Make him yours too by shipping him in rather than being envious of your rivals.
Open Controls
i had him at 4M, sold him at 5.2M to bring in Jones and Jones fuc* me well with his 1p in 6 games.
cant buy him backOpen Controls
Hard luck. Seemed like a good move when Jones was OOP 🙁
Open Controls
exactly...tired of the hate out there. #swallowthinepride
Open Controls
It amazes me why everyone doesnt have him
Open Controls
I think he will start the next 2 Gws for sure and his price will rise before the deadline.
If HBA continues to play like yesterday then R Taylor will surely start every match at Right Flank.Open ControlsUnlikely that Obertan will start.
You get ready to explode bcoz R Taylor will get BPs.Open Controls
Looked pretty clumsy, kept misplacing passes but did offer some threat going forward. The assist was a reasonable but fairly aimless cross into the box which was inexplicably headed in by Warnock and he fired in a shot from the corner of the box to the near post. Will need some time to adjust to the PL but should get some reasonable attacking points. Problem is where QPR clean sheets will come from as the defence is newly cobbled together and will take some time to get used to playing together.

shocking week! oh well onto the weekend
sturridge to ba is the obvious move yeh?Open Controls
Yeah I'd say so - I'd consider Cisse too though - Wolves defence looked awful vs Liverpool from what I saw and he does tend to hit the ground running.
Open Controlsi was considering zamora
how did cisse look last night tho apart from the goal?Open Controls
it ain't that clear cut imo - don't even know what his condition is like...
might leave for this week...Open Controls
he barely played 180 minutes.. reached newcastle yesterday so gets 3 days trainin(match on sunday).. do it
Open ControlsI'm waiting until after GW 25 to get Ba after seeing him for 2 weeks (1 being Spurs away) but if I could afford him, straight swap for Crouch this week, I would be doing it.
Open Controls
im thinking of Ba in my WC team Tosey. Newc just seem very strong this season
kinda need some help with the rest of my WC though...i see you decided against Aguero and doubled up on City defense...would you still recommend that? I just cant seem to let Aguero go!Open Controls
Is having 3 players from city and 3 players from newcastle for the upComing matches to much??
I currently have richards, silva, aguero, simpson.
Want to bring in ba and santon for skrtel and fletcher.
Please help 😉Open ControlsTeam pretty well set up for next week.. save transfer it is then? startin 11/sub order right?

Open Controls
crikey, i've actually got to decide on my WC and i dont have enough money
Just how crucial is Aguero going to be....?!Open ControlsStat-
The Last 2 matches NewCastle played with R Taylor not Starting They shipped 6 goals.
And the last 2 matches NewCastle Played with R Taylor starting they got 2 CS.Open ControlsIts not only for 2 weeks.
He is the highest scoring defender in FPL also with 99 points and will touch the 100 mark today.Open ControlsNot sure why you're defending him. OK so he's a mid classed as a def playing OOP and is good at free kicks. But he's not that good a player. He's also the jammiest sod in the world. Lucky to get an assist this week, lucky to get a CS this week, lucky to be playing OOP, lucky to be even playing; if everyone was fit he wouldn't be and this would be a happier place as we laugh at the casuals still hanging onto him.
Open ControlsBcoz what you think is not true.
Open Controls
For people like you who hate him & dont have him in their team,he is surely a poor/Bad player.
Open Controls
False dichotomy if there ever was one.
Open Controls
Fact: Raylor is sh*t.
Open ControlsTry watching a match when you don't have him. Also, agreed he is an inept defender, but I've watched him place balls (get your mind out of the gutta) on Ba's chest time after time, same w/ Shola...the kid's got a decent foot, Pardew's a grinder and somewhat predictable...I've got a mil in the bank Riise going out Verm comin in and Raylor staying right the f*ck where he is...
Stop trippin and get in homie!Open Controls
See a lot of people talking about their 'main rival' on here e.g. "My main rival has Krul and Raylor coming off the bench grrr! :evil:" or "My main rival forgot to make any changes and has Walters as captain! :lol:"
Just out of curiosity, do people classify their main rival as the person most likely to prevent them winning a mini-league or is it their brother/best friend/etc. who they are determined to finish ahead of regardless of anything else?
No reason for this, just wondering 🙂Open Controls
You just can't compete with people (like the person who has just gone top of my ML) who play Krul and Raylor away from home and end up with 20 odd points from them plus any bonus! Oh, and had Sinclair 1st on the bench coming on.
The person in question hasn't even played the game before so I couldn't even class them as a rival.
This season more than ever has catered to the casual player and has propbably been my most frustrating season playing this game.Open ControlsI never use the term really, but I'd say my best mate in my mini league. I don't care so much if I don't win, so long as he doesn't either.
It isn't enough for me to win, he needs to fail as well.Open ControlsInteresting - bit of a mixture. I think I'd class my brother as my main rival - really want those bragging rights!
Open Controls
Who to bench this week: Shotton or Caulker?
Open Controls
Hi guys !
Best mid for 7.1 M ? I already have Sess and Walters...Open Controls

If i do sturridge->ba, is my team good for the weekend? i feel i am in trouble having 2 stoke def + sess, and richards + dempsey.
willing to hear any and all transfer ideas? even for -4 hit.Open Controls
Richards to Clichy, to free up funds? Overkill on Citeh, that's for sure.
Open Controlslooks that way now to be sure, but i didnt expect much from everton game.
Open Controls
No transfers for me, this week!
Open Controlsnot even tempted in the slightest by Ba??
Open Controls
come on now, doos...
a couple of weeks after playing a WC and with a double transfer last GW, no transfers has to be par for the course. 😉Open Controls
You have Adebayor...
Open Controls
Save my transfer for this week?
Was originally going to do BAE to Huth once he had risen but second guessing now.
Krul
BAE, Richards, Taiwo
Silva, Valencia, Bale, Sess
RVP, Dzeko, Ba
Lindegaard, Dempsey, Evans, KellyOpen Controlsdon't second-guess. BAE to huth is a no-brainer, especially with no feasible bench player to replace BAE.
Open Controls
BAE out for Huth or Shawcross?
Open ControlsI was 100% wildcarding BAE to Huth last week, then thought I would keep BAE for one extra week then transfer (plus I need a 0.1 rise from him).
Now it's got to the time to change, I am sceptical on Huth.
He should score and he has some good fixtures coming up, but Europa does concern me.Open Controls
Top scorer for this week so far played a 4-4-1, with the sublime Carrol spearheading his attack.
Open Controls
Guys - a quick question about Stoke.
Am I right in thinking that Sorensen plays in the league games and Begovic in the FA Cup / Euro Vase?
I'm mulling over Lindy > Stoke keeper since they have 3 home games coming up ( even though they're a bit weaker than in previous years ).Open Controlsthat's what I did this past week, when the Dane f*cker decided to twist his ankle on my WC week...
Of course I then went ahead and started Vorm...Open Controls
Good move I reckon. By the time stokes nice run is finished you'll know for sure whether Lindy or DeGea are in nets for United too and if its Lindy he'll still be at 4.6/4.7 max...
Open ControlsCheers guys. Sorensen it is, and Lemon Ade gets to stay another week at least. Why is the winter WC always such a nightmare......
Open Controls
Just noticed, QPR has 12 f*cking strikers on their FPL roster; WTF??
Also, is Zamora certain to 90, or should I just get rid for Ba, I have Ade who goes to Liverpool, but there's a voice in my head that says he usually comes good against this type of competition. I also have RVP...Open ControlsThey do have a lot of Strikers but they're all rubbish apart from Bobby Z so I reckon he's a certainty.
I'm bringing him in with Ba and RVP my other twoOpen Controlsthat's a good look.
Open Controls
That is crazy, as assuming a lot are now going to be ineligable anyway as the new 25man squads will have to be announced before the weekend?
Open Controlstrue, so some will be walking the plank or be reserves superstars!
Open Controls
ben arfa > ox
sturridge> ba/cisse/zamora
which ones?!Open ControlsI did both this past week.I say keep Sturridge for the rising differential, but if you're worried about losing money on Daniel, then ship him out for Ba. I think Ox and RVP go mental, time is hopefully running out for Walcott and Ramsey...they are literally crippling my team. I also have Zamora (got caught out there without a way to take him out of my team at the 11th hour) not sure how much he will play with 12 strikers...sucks to be Macheda...
Open Controlsyeah the ox looked our best player on the pitch from what ive seen yesterday! the guy who im trying to catch at the top of my mini league doesnt have ba so either is a good differential. think zamora and cisse will be QPR's starting strikers every week
Open Controls10-4 for sure on Zamora and Cisse!
Open Controls
feel like cisse/zamora would be better than ba at least for now. i would personally lean towards cisse. when playing at the top level, he's scored a goal every 2.2 matches. zamora has scored once every 3.7 matches. sure, stats are malleable, but zamora doesn't have the "bobby row z" nickname for nothing, and that's borne out by the comparison above.
liking the look of the ox, but hba has significantly better fixtures and will most likely get as many minutes as ox.Open Controls
Do u tink HBA will still get to ply??
Open ControlsHBA will be yanked out soon after half for the next two matches. And will be taken out before Raylor...to the joy of his haters.
Open ControlsToo bad for him...
My team..
Vorm Mignolet
Richards caulker Simpson Evans Enrique
Bale silva Valencia HBA sess
Aguero RVP Morison
Gv me some thoughts who to transfer out?. 2ft and 0.6m left..Open Controls
Trying to hang on until Saturday evening - but price changes may force my hand.
Open ControlsI can sell Sturridge for 7.1 and I have 0.2 in the bank - and don't really want to take a hit (if I can help it). But a reasonable chance of Ba scoring 4 more than Sturridge so will do it if I have to.
Open Controls
ohhh ok. makes sense now. thought there was some reason you didn't want to get rid on a free.
think he'll pick up right where he left off before ACON?Open ControlsWould be surprised if he's as prolific as he was before he went to ACON - but that's a pretty high benchmark. But at that price it's definitely worth a shout.
Open Controls
What happend to b arfa last night? Taken off after 46 mins, can he only do arfa job?
Open Controlsrank em for the weekend
Huth, Santon, Dempsey, Sessegnon, Ba, SturridgeOpen Controlsoh and add zamora and valencia to that lot. I know, but help me out here.
Open Controls
Ba, Huth, Santon, Sess, Demps, Studge
Open Controls6, 6, 6, 2, 13, 2 are my points predictions for them
Open ControlsHaha, will you wear the wedding dress?
Open Controls
cheers, sounds like ba is the best transfer in a very small sample size, anyone else want to help make it more valid, more opinions!!!!!
Open Controlshuth, dempsey, santon/ba (coin toss), sess, sturridge
Open Controls
is that his first goal???
Open Controls
Play McClean or Dempsey this weekend? (Already got Kompany in my starting XI)
Open Controls
Same dilemma (kind of)
I'm leaning towards benching DempseyOpen ControlsHe's on the bench at the moment. Feels so wrong, but I don't see Fulham producing a whole lot at the Etihad while I think Sunderland could easily get all the 3 points at Britannia.
Open Controls
So why are you playing Dempsey then? Really, you've got to play the fixtures and not the player value.
Open ControlsMcClean better odds for anytime scorer (McC 3.75, Demp 5.5). Fulham far more unlikely to keep a clean sheet than Sunderland too.
But I would say the overwhelming favourite is for them both to get 2pts.Open Controls
People on here keep saying that Stoke are "tight" at home, despite conceeding 12 in their last 7 home games, 4 in their last 2. I'd like to know what their definition of "leaky" is. Can see Sunderland scoring a couple at least, they're in great form at the moment, I'd definitely play McClean.
Open Controls
if you must to dicht one to buy Combany, so Enrique (bought at 5M) or BAE (bought at 5.2M)? always think that should be BAE, but your thought?
Open ControlsPersonally I'd make it BAE but make sure you have cover for GW 26 when Enrique plays the CCF.
Open Controls
I've had a decent week largely thanks to captain Sess once again
But now with two free goes i just can't see what to do??
Should i ditch Jose and lose the money on him?
I don't particularly like Walters but having got him on WC it would be silly to lose him now?Open ControlsIf you cant see what to do you might need to do nothing 🙂
Why dont you like Walters?
The dry patch means this is the time to keep him imo, those home fixtures will likely bring the overdue points.
Also, Stoke, Newcastle and City are all at home in GW 26 so removing Enrique isn't really needed for you.
I'd swap fletcher for someone other than Fletcher, Wolves are woeful.
Gamble on Robbie Keane or, the YAK is back next week with decent fixtures.....Open Controls
Best combo, GO!
1) Vermaelen & Clichy
2) Vermaelen & Huth
