Everton stun United at Old Trafford to leave the door ajar for City and set up a momentous Manchester derby. City did the business as expected at Molineux, with Sergio Aguero netting for the third consecutive game to bring the title race to the boil.
Our Members can dive into the statistics from all the Gameweek’s action so far, with our selection of the key numbers to follow, along with a view on the possible destination of the Fantasy Premier League bonus points…
Do it, I'd say.. You could captain him as well.
Hmm it's a tough one...Valencia is good for the rest of the fixtures but VDV could explode in the DGW. I think in this case...you might be good enough to make no move and I really do think RVP will score.
I know he's not been great lately but even the most adamant of those who reason shipping him out, know he's always got the potential to score because it's him.
Fair enough, but will VDV outscore RVP by 4 this week? Thats the question. Might be worth keeping it at a -4 though.
Who you captaining btw?
He potentially could yeah...to be fair it could turn out to be a great move, it's just even while I know RVP has dried up in his goalscoring...I still feel he always has the potential to score a big points in a game.
...I actually have VDV(C) right now as well, Cisse(VC) but it could all change. I think I'll wait until bonus points have come in and I see where I stand in relation to rivals in ML and then make a decision whether I need a differential or not.
Was money as issue? Could this wait till friday?
Money not an issue, will sleep on VdV atm.
Whats your perspective though?
I haven't made up my mind between Bale and VDV yet. I feel Bale will get more mins but he can't seem to find the back of the net and If the all the OTt Bust up talsk are true VDV could find himself playing as the 2nd striker which is a big + for him.
Tevez -> Jelly is a good move. Dude looks real sharp and seems to have adjusted real well to the prem. Same could be said for Cisse so I'm happy with either guy up front right now
to be fair Bale has played decent as of late, and im just concerned over VDVs fitness. I think ill stick for now and play RVP. VDV would have to outscore Robin by 4 in order to justify my hit, but still very possible. Will wait on news later on in the week.
So, should I do Rooney to Jelavic or RVP to Jelavic?
Form says RVP...fixtures say Rooney.
I was one of those fools who shipped Rooney for Tevez but I've still kept RVP for the DGW, I think he'll score against a poor Stoke side. It really is a close call though!
I just think Rooney will score in the derby..
Quick vote chaps - which is best?
A) Kompany & Sess -> JAGIELKA & VDV
B) Sess & Rooney -> VDV & JELAVIC
If dong A) I’d have 0.0m in the bank, but a spare transfer to use or even roll forward to GW38. Perhaps Siggy -> Moses/Ox in GW37.
If doing B) I’d have just enough to do P Cisse -> Rooney in GW37
Both give me 7 DGWers for no hits - worth taking a hit or 2 to get any more?
BOGDAN, (Migs)
SKRTEL, Caulker, Turner, (Kompany), (JEvans)
DEMPSEY, BALE, Sessegnon, Siggy, (Valencia)
Rvp, Rooney, P CISSE
Bank 0.7m, 2 free transfers
my forwards : RVP Tevez Cisse
Which is best?
A. RVP -> Jelavic for DGW, and Cisse -> RVP in GW37
B. Tevez -> Jelavic for DGW, and Cisse -> Rooney in GW37
Right lads, your opinions on this wild card team
Cech (Bogdan)
Simpson, BAE, Huth (Vermaelen, Evans)
Dempsey, Bale, Gylfi, VDV
Cisse, RVP, Jelavic
Vermaelen, Valencia, Evans
Bank £1m
Was considering Barfa instead of VDV but don’t want 3 Newcastle going into the last 2 weeks. Wigan and Chelsea away won’t be easy for Newcastle’s double anyway.
Also Friedel & Cahill instead of Cech & BAE would save me £1.8m but they’re less nailed on.
Expensive bench but it sets me up nicely for the final 2 gameweeks.
Half considering Pogrebynak but I think Cisse & Jelavic just shade it.
Feedback much appreciated 😉
I just raped my wifes FF account, and set up a DGW 15 comprised of
Friedel
Simpson Terry Cahill
Barfa Pienaar Bale Dempsey
Jelly(c) Cisse Pog
Cech
VDV
Wheater
Huth
This should help people with a list of candidates to select from this week. Going for maximum score!
Looks good. Dunno if I would want anything to do with stoke in the double. Maybe pick an Everton defender? Where is Rooney?
don't like huth tbh. i'd rather play verm than him. go for everton defender or just play verm. rest looks good. i see you've opted for bale and vdv. right now im trying to pick 2 out of bale vdv hba and pienaar....
like it overall though. i'd try to downgrade huth and see if you can find funds in case you want to bring in nani rooney or aguero next week
Premier League Team of the year:
Joe Hart (Man City), Kyle Walker (Tottenham), Vincent Kompany (Man City), Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle), Leighton Baines (Everton), David Silva (Man City), Yaya Toure (Man City), Gareth Bale (Tottenham), Scott Parker (Tottenham), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Wayne Rooney (Man Utd)
Anyone has any issues with this?
I'm surprised Vorm didn't make the cut. Far too much City in there!
Precisely. It's just too much of "good club" players.
Yeah, Dempsey deserves to be in there without a doubt.
16 goals as a midfielder in a team like Fulham, it's an incredible feat. I understand the likes of Silva and Kompany, they'll been essential throughout nearly the whole season, albeit a few games where they lacked form. I highly rate Toure too, but Dempsey deserves his place in this team.
Would have liked to see a more attacking player alongside parker or maybe Carrick, walker at rb Meh, baines at lb is a tad surprising.
Any bonus for Tevez?
Will add this here too

Is Van Der Vaart really fit enough to play 2 games in 3 days? I don't think so... looking to get him alongside Bale but really not sure....
I've gone for him, Harry's more of a tactical idiot than I thought if he doesn't play VDV in both, he may only get 60 odd minutes per game but he really should play both.
Yeah fair enough, I would be happy if I knew he would play 60mins each game. Might just get him in and hope for the best!
Hi all!!
Your thoughts would be appreciated on this transfer for a hit...
Ade> Jelly?
Or
Keep Ade and do RVP>Jelly?
Have already done Kun>Cisse.
Cheers
Quick one before price changes.
Dempsey or Pienaar?
Lose RVP or Tevez for Jelavic?
Isacki... I'm not sure if I did the right thing. I lose Aguero for Jelavic.
Thanks Natt... I would have done the same tbh. Goals could come from anywhere for City - that's if they do score of course.
Thanks people. Leaning towards losing Tevez and getting Pienaar, but decided to do the transfers later because there's quite a lot of free cash (must be the cheap mid! ) . And after that brief insomniac appearance... good night all 😀
I get why early transfer were being made eariler in the season but surely cash isn't really an issue now. Just wondering why so many are taking hits on sunday night?
The symptom you're describing is commonly known as "FPL RAGE"
FPL Rage is a a known symptom to any player who plays Fantsy Premier League.
This symptom is experienced after having a low-scoring or mid-scoring Gameweek, causing the victim to transfer players viciously without waiting or thinking things though.
Side effects may include taking unnecessary hits.
😆
Thoughts on this guys? Aguero & Osman or Cisse & VDV (-4) . *Already have Bale & Ade & Barfa*
get pienaar instead of osman if you are bringing him in
Would do unfortunately 0.1 short.
Would want Jelly or Cisse tbh. Bale just edges it over VDV for me.
cheers Acqua. will already have Bale & Dempsey, next best is VDV?
Ironic how two of Everton's best performances in the season have come with Baines rested/injured. 4-0 agaisnt WBA and 4-4 against MUN.
Coincidence? I can't see Moyes rushing him after this performance.
what order would you guys rank these dgw players
adebayor
benarfa
cisse
jelevic
vdv
pienaar
jelly/cisse
barfa
vdv
pienaar
ade
Just aiming for as high a rank as possible at this stage so no hits for me. Gonna go into GW36 with just a generic 6 dgw. Team will shape up to be like:
Schwarzer
BAE, Verm, Caulker
VDV/Bale/Pienaar, Dempsey,Siggy, Sess
Cisse, Jelly, Rooney
Nothing too exciting but I don't really see any potential hits working out.
REPOST:
Will Tevez get any bonus?
apparently not from earlier comments. maybe 1 at best. Acqua can u have a look at my query above? any thoughts?
For anyone who wants a good laugh:

Tevez/Kompany interview. HILARIOUS!!
Hahaha!
Brilliant? Am I using my english slang right? 😛
Deadzone Doctors,
It hurts, my knee is jerking bad! I have heard Jelavic might be a good remedy to this ailment.
However, I fear the side-effects of getting rid of the Roonoceros or the Tevezauraus.
And my Cissedes Benz is staying firmly in my drive way for the remainder of the season.
So I might be forced to think alternative medicine, and stock up on Pienaar pills for the forthcoming DGW.
Thoughts?
BEGOVIC
BAE, vermaelen, turner
DEMPSEY, BALE, valencia, siggy
CISSE, rooney, tevez
(vorm, caulker, mcclean, evans)
1 FT, 4.0M
5 DGWers
Pienaar pills imo
That's a hard lot to bench however!
BAE > Baines
I would consider upgrading McClean to Pienaar instead. Should prove just as profitable, the risky alternative could be Fellaini who was virtually a center forward in the United game.
What are these Tottenham rumors I'm hearing about?
Anyone? Please 🙂 ?
something to do with VDV playing up front. I keep seeing it mentioned, but no links or info on what influences his role
This better not be WUMmings!
*readies backhand slap*
Need to replace Tevez, money is no object. Other forwards are RVP and P Cisse. Thoughts? Jump on the Jelly bandwagon perhaps?
repost: mclean -> pienaar
valencia -> vdv
mcauley -> huth
-8 hit. to get a team:
krul
vermaelen,huth,kelly (with the hope he recovers)
vdv,pienaar,dempsey,HBA
rvp, aguero,papiss
subs: vorm,siggy,caulker,evans
good team?
no real need for mcauly to huth. just play caulker.
aguero to jelly is another alternative to mclean to pienaar
but i don't think to transfer out aguero after jz 1 week is a good thing to do..heh how i wish to keep rooney rather knee-jerk last week 🙁
play Siggy over rvp for me 🙂
if i do aguero -> jelavic, then probably siggy will play and keep mclean on the bench
If I have Aguero , I will keep him. i can feel he will explode nextweek. already do rvp>jelavic myself last night. with walcott & arteta doubt, instinct said the game will ended 0-0..
Not sure about you guys but I think getting two strikers and forwards with a DGW who seem guaranteed to play both games will be worth a hit. Much more so than say a defender and an attacking player. For this reason I will ignore my defense even though I have Richards in my team and focus on getting attacking players who have a DGW.
Rationale: Chelsea defense will rotate too much especially with the impending return of Luiz and Ivanovic. Spurs defense is become unreliable and even Everton shipped 4 goals in the last game. Thus there is no decent options at the back for the DGW. Especially when teams such as Swansea and Arsenal have decent games and are proving solid at the back.
I completely agree. I went for Cisse and Jelly up top as DGWs
I agree Ryan, am leaving my defs alone to concentrate up front.
The choices then become what is more important to change... midfield or forwards? Would a fwd transfer earn you more than that mid transfer you're thinking of???
Eg.. RVP/Roon > Jelly or Sess/McClean/Petrol/Val > Peanut/Cabby/Barfa/Mata/VDV?????
For sure. Its much of a muchness I think between mids and forwards. I'm considering selling RVP for Jelivic then I would have a forward line of......
Ade, Cisse, Jellyfish
I could then also sell Surman > Pianaar and I would have 3DGW mids plus Siggy. That would then be a formidable DGW attack.
do both for a hit? Both transfers seem sound.
Yes. my DGWers def only Krul & Bae. others are Verm,Caulker,Turner. this formation make me more comfortable...
Long story but I don't get to watch any games.
So what's the story with Sunderland? Are they attacking and been unlucky or going thru the motions? Esp Sess.
This may be of importance to a lot of people with Sess or McLean transfers in the balance.
no mcclean & sess.. but has Turner (BOL)
Has the price changes happened yet. I notice a lot of players on Fiso to be above 100%
When is bonus due?
You started playing FPL this week mate?
I assume you mean year 😉
No ive played for the past 4 years, but since the upgrade required an email instead of a username id forgotten the email i used, so had to make a new account.
Whom would you prefer in Jagielka vs Cahill... I guess it's jagielka as I really don't cahill will play both games. Am I right?
Even if Jagielka plays both games I hardly think he would be worth bringing in..
If u tempted to get everton def ,better get in Hibbert. 2 assist last night.
Why Jags though? I'd go with Hibbo. He has a decent assist potential as well. My concern with Jags is that he was benched in the FA Cup final. Considering Heitinga & Distin are decent CBs, could he be benched again?
If Luiz is out for longer, Cahill surely. But I don't know if we'll get to hear for sure.
yup,especially now ivanovic is back. but if chelsea manage to beat barca then possibly RDM will want to rest terry, then cahill could play both matches with luiz or ivanovic as partner
really interesting...so even terry isn't nailed down?
saying that, IF they can beat barca. which i don't think they will
they just might, if they manage to nick in a goal, barca will find it very difficult to put 3 past them
i do really think jagielka is a better choice than cahill, he is nailed on to start before got injured. i can feel everton can keep 1 clean sheet in this dgw. but hibbert is cheaper, and you can extra funds to upgrade your mid or for.
Don't have a Spurs defender atm, have Evans, Caulker, Turner, Berm and Simps. Should I bring BAE or Walker in for a hit?
12 years, 4 days agoJust did Walcott+Tevez -> Bale+Jelavic (-4)
Team so far:
Vorm
WILLIAMSON-Caulker-Vermaelen (Evans-Kompany)
BALE-DEMPS-BARFA-Siggy (Valencia)
JELLY-CISSE-Rvp
Should i do Valencia -> VDV for another hit? That would mean benching RVP
