Yaya Toure’s magnificent brace of goals looks to have sealed the title for the blue half of Manchester. United did their job against Swansea with a routine 2-0 win, but must now rely on relegation threatened QPR to earn a result at the Etihad.
With Monday’s Ewood clash and Chelsea’s trip to Anfield still to come, here’s our pick of the key statistis so far in the Gameweek, together with our take on where the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bonus could be heading…
Should i do rooney -> aguero, dempsey -> yaya for a 4 point hit?
Couldn't help but notice the guy with the highest points haul for the week with 83 points (Brendan) has managed this feat without having made a single transfer or used his wildcard, I find this very impressive (also a tad fortunate) and his team is no bad either!!! Have a looky at your leasure fellow Fant Premmers....Thought this was worth a mention 🙂
he has never made a transfer all season! It just the first team he picked!
Not-manager-of-the-year:
a) Dalglish
b) McLeish
c) Kean
So what midfielder should i pick for final gameweek, Mata is a strong choice and i dont really see why he would be rested since the CL final isn't till 6 days after it
Yaya, Moses?
Do you guys think that D. Cisse will score again in final week?
Best Front 7 for GW38?
Wolves 0 Everton 0
Stearman 3, Ward 2, Zubar 1 this is the bonus prediction... how true is it? i cant believe none of the everton players are on the list...
Hello deadzoners.
Missed the united match today....anyone know why rooney was taken off early? Injury or tactical?
Tactical. He was pretty poor tbh. Passing was bad, he was getting frustrated, he was already booked. And seems like Fergie wanted to give Berba one last match at OT.
Yeh he missed a few sitters too. He's been pretty poor lately. Wish I hadn't brought him in for a hit
Moses | Maloney | Silva | Bale
Aguero | Torres | RVP
Like it for 38?
Are bonus due today or after tuesday's match?
It all boils down to
1) Rooney → Aguero
2) Cisse → Jelavic
RVP was my captain 43% of this season!
He did us proud again. Not sure if I'll stick with him for the last week though.
Yep gotta be aguero this week for me.
Not much left to play for now though. Top of my mini-league by almost 30pts with a better looking team. Ranked almost 3k so highly unlikely I can break any milestone like the top 1k.
Bring on next season
Top 1K has to be tough. I think a top 10K is a fair go for most, it's only a few good captaincy picks between.
Yep planning for next year already.
Haha I'm probably a similar figure.
Torres was my capt for 5% of the gws (twice). Shocking management!
Only once for me.
One hit wonders (C) this season: Bent, Torres, Tevez, Silva, Suarez, Aguero, Lampard, VDV
can he continue his ridiculous form next season?
hopefully, with podolski adding fuel to the fire!!
Too early to say how podolski will affect RVP. Could take away some of RVPs goals or create even more for him.
Got a feeling that he could be wearing the white of Madrid next season though
48.6%
Who's your money on here then?
Me: 5 points & Skrtel
Him: Sturridge & Yak
him..
A) Silva in for Dempsey (Play Rooney)
B) Aguero in for Rooney (Play Dempsey)
C) Both in for a hit
8 points behind ML leader
Silva is not on form Keith. City mid Yaya or Nasri imo.
Silva was beautiful yesterday.. Nasri looked totally out of sorts
Silva was ok, still not at his best, dont see the pts for him. Only Aguero is worth it imo. On PKs, furthest forward, and likely to play 90mins.
I have to say that Silva looked the better played to own that Nasri based on yesterday's game.
He had a good chance to score and countless dangerous passes. He won't explode against QPR next week but there's a good chance of 5+ points.
That said, Yaya looks the player to own*
(*If Mancini decided to push him forward at the expense of Tevez/Silva/Aguero/Nasri at some point)
Fair call guys. I'll stick with Yaya. I missed yesterday's game so you are probably right.
Aguero looked in terrible form yesterday honestly.. some really bad finishin.. still think rvp the best captain choice this week
Aguero a completely different beast at home though...
guess so.. most doin rooney to aguero though and i think rooney is still a good option for next week.. also rvp and arsenal will be goin all out for a win.. and got a feelin wba will score.. meanin they'l need 2 or 3 atleast
So is the general consensus that MUN won't go for the goal difference next week, and instead just hope that City drop points? If so, is Rooney -> Aguero a decent trade, or are there more pressing issues with this lot?
Bogdan
Kompany, Caulker, Skrtel
Valencia, Siggy, Bale, VDV
RVP, Rooney, Jelly
Migs, Dempsey, JEvans, Turner
Bank 0.2m
Bench Siggy and do Dempsey to Nasri/Yaya/Ramires etc?
Best of this bunch?
a) Skrtel -> Lescott
b) Rooney -> Aguero
c) Skrtel & Dempsey -> Clichy & Silva (4 point hit)
or d) Dempsey & Rooney -> Silva & Aguero (4 point hit)
dont like silva atm. Maybe Moses for me.
I thought he looked a bit better yesterday, but see where you're coming from.
On reflection I think I may end up just benching Dempsey and starting Siggy. At home to a tired LIV could give him chances. Not sure anyone's worth a hit to start in front of him...
Yep, similar thinking here.
B for sure.
b) much more exciting and a captain - other options are no contest
Looks a sensible trade. Rooney looked awful today.
Im also doing that trade, and considering getting in Moses for a hit depending on today's result.
Don't think utd will go for goal difference, and even if they do they're playing a solid Sunderland side. No chance of a massive score line.
We were actually going for it yesterday- as shown by us grabbing the ball out of the net and legging it back to the centre circle. Didn't make much difference did it!
Siggy or Dempsey to start this week? Silva for -4?
that's "or" silva
Rooney and Evans out ----> Special K & Aguero in - Sound OK?
For free- Yes.
For a hit- No.
for free :-)^:-)
I might bring in Aguero for Rooney just to put the jinx on Man city.
If you bring him in, I will . What a cracking season you are having . Nice one Cyril
Current mids/forwards
Pienaar/Moses/Dempsey/Bale/BenArfa
RVP/Cisse/Adebayor
Sufficient money to swap out anybody for almost anybody.
BenArfa looks like the weak link, I think. Who do I purchase...
Fair enough, that was actually part B of the question for another day, then time to mull over the two choices.
Congrats btw on the Elite 64 thing, looks like you won?
I think I'm in decent shape to win the FPL Open, unless Jose Enrique goes mental and Moses gets shut out.
1st ask yourself who you bench if you get rid of Barfa.
Either Pienaar or Bale could end up riding bench if right person came in, Pienaar cuz Newcastle on fire, Bale because he has done squat for some time. Hard to bench Dempsey right now, even if on road, because of his form.
Fair enough Desertbug. I suppose it all depends if your defence is strong and if you are chasing in ML or in front. Bale at home with Spurs chasing 4th place might be an error but you're right about his current form. If you were to bench him may as well get rid for the extra funds as it's last week.
Not chasing in ML, just running for highest possible final finish. Sitting about 3,000 right now. Already have 7.3 in bank, after selling off appreciated assets towards end of season for hotter players.
Cisse > Aguero suggestion below is decent plan, but I don't necessarily trust my Toffee defense against Newcastle speed on attack, so am a bit leery of giving up on Cisse. They've been susceptible to that kind of offense, I think.
Currently stuck with running out Vermaelen/Caulker/Kelly on defense, so could maybe sell off Kelly or JEvans and replace with Kompany for final week.
Have money to do both, if I wanted to take 4pt hit
Just looked at your team, very good rank too. I am probably going to bolster my defence this week, I have two free but no money so I'll wait till Saturday to decide I think and try to work out what H2H rivals are doing first. Good luck with yours.
Get Aguero in - lose Cisse, he will do nothing against Everton.
GW 38
A) Silva + Rooney
B) Siggy + Aguero
Rvp gonna be my captain either way.. no hits involved
Hi Guys help would be much appreciated,
managed to cut the gap in my ML to 13 points. Am thinking Rooney > Aguero for the final GW my rival has rooney & i think its a gamble worth taking. Also people think its worth taking a hit to get more City coverage? Maybe Silva or a defender & for who?
Foster ARS (H)
Vermaelen WBA (A) Enrique SWA (A) Hibbert NEW (H)
Bale FUL (H) VDV FUL (H) Pienaar NEW (H) Dempsey TOT (A)
Rooney SUN (A) Jelavic NEW (H) Van Persie WBA (A)
Bogdan STO (A) Caulker LIV (H) Simpson EVE (A) Surman AVL (H)
Aguero in. You could keep Rooney and take a 4 point hit. I have the same sort of dilemma (without the hit)
Aguero in but don't take a -4 hit if u chasing a 13 point gap. Just hope u make a good cap pick this week.
Ok thanks for the advise. Just a little concerned he has Hart & Kompany & i have no City defence. Just hope they concead i guess
get Djibril in. If he scores you will sort of mathematically be 12 points better off - Risk of the season though.
Not sure im brave enough for that. Food for thought though. I think after BPs it will be more like 5 or 6 gap hopefully. I have RVP captain & also hoping for points from dempsey. Cant see him getting many BPs either
Probably a good judge - I felt daft suggesting it to be honest.
I have the same hopes for BP's.
Going back to the original conversation - Aguero in - Roonster out is a must (& make him capt.) That should do the trick.Good luck
Who to play
Bogdan STO (A) or Foster ARS (H) ??
Thats what i was thinking. Good chance of save points
Morning deadzoners, team currently:
Howard, (Mig)
Terry, Verm, Kompany, (Caulker), (Evans)
Valencia, Bale, Dempsey, Sig, McLean
Jelly, Rooney, VP
Thoughts on either:
A). Bale & Jelly -> Aguero & Moses
B). Rooney & Valencia -> Aguero & VDV
?
Jelavic>Aguero and Rooney>Torres for a 4 point hit, yay or nay?
Assuming RVP gets the 3 Baps today he will be left needing a 20pt game to beat Lampard's highest fpl score in a season. Not very likely but certainly doable, hattrick, assist and 3 baps
You should tell him, in case he's missed that. 🙂
