If ever there was a team to scrutinize for a Moneyball piece, it is Stoke. They’re unfashionable and uninspiring with a reported philosophy that is about as far from Fantasy Football as one can get. Such characteristics, though, give us an opportunity to find value, and it is to the Britannia where we’ll turn our attention this week.
Ruddy (Federici)
Zabaleta, Baines, Rafael, Clark, Clyne,
Michu, Hazard, Sterling, Ramirez, Guthrie,
Van Persie, Suarez, Tevez
any suggestions? Santi/Gervinho/Nolan?

I'd get rid of Federici as you don't want to play Ruddy every week
Open Controlsonly keeper i can afford is Begovic and they have MUN this week!

So Demel looks like he is out, now I have got a dilemma. Play Morrisan against City or Di Santo against Swans. Ridgewell doesn't even need to be mentioned I guess.

Afternoon all, Thought I plug my stats tables 🙂

Explosiion imminent is designed to look at the player where their stats/performance haven't turned into the FPL points they deserve.

Baines and Friends looks at the fullback who are hot right now.

Up from the back looks at defenders who are getting shots on goal while keeping clean sheets.

Forward thinking looks at the front men who are doing it right now. It takes into account goal rate, shot accuracy and involvement.
With all of them I will be analysing the success rate of these highlighted players and trying to predict the players who will join these tables in an attempt to predict the next flurry of FPL points.Open ControlsDidn't think this one worked

Join a new club this season FPL xi
Jussi - Cesar
Vertonghen - Chico - Lowtown - Cuellar - Collins
Hazard - Santi - Michu - Ramirez - Kacaniklic
RVP - Berbatov - Fletcher
Not a bad team at all.
Point being, an attacking punt or two at the start of the season is not too bad an idea.Open Controls
Dempsey?! 😯
Open ControlsPlayers that have already done decently FPL wise.
Open ControlsOk, that makes sense.
Open Controls
Would add Kagawa,Pienaar, Podolski and Michu to that shock list as well.
Open ControlsIf you look closely enough you'll find one of them there 😉
Open ControlsPienaar would be cheating.
Michu in there.
The other three over Podolski for me.Open Controls
Great article. I'm pleased Boyce got a few mentions 😉
Open Controls
Where the actual hell is the freaking Fulham presser?
Open ControlsI know. Tell me Berba is fit please Mr Jol
Open ControlsI'm not nervous exactly, I really think he'll play. It would just be nice to have it confirmed. Is that too much to ask?

lost on last page - would appreciate some help on this one...

RDM reports Lampard and Bertrand rejoined the squad for training yesterday and will be available for the Spurs game. #CFC
Open ControlsShow me something with #FFC
Open ControlsSo typical Chelsea playing fake injuries to drop out of international squad and be ready for the club. Disgrace.
Open Controls
Dont think Lampard faked his injury considering he was guarenteed a start against San Marino and he loves the stats. Bertrand had a cold and would have been third choice LB.
Open Controls
bit premature, but with wilshere returning soon, what do we think of him as an option at 6.4m?

Petric and Berba together.
Massacre.Open ControlsYep, plus Kaca and Riise with the service.
Open ControlsI dunno about Kaca. I own him.
Says everything.Open ControlsYou think Kacaniklic will stay in the team? Thought Rodallega might be shifted out left
Open ControlsBerba, Petric AND Rodallega starting? Doubt that. Possible, though.
Open ControlsWith my luck probable.
Open Controls
No. 🙂
Open ControlsWhat you think?
Open Controls
Not all up front you understand.
Plus i don't really think it's much different to playing the likes of Kaca or Ruiz in midfield. Rodallega seems very defensively aware and disciplined.Open ControlsHmm yeah. Possible, SD.
Open Controls
Who would you bench?
Pienaar or Lambert or SterlingOpen Controls
Really like these Moneyball articles. Thanks. Definitely a lot of food for thought in there.

Hi All,
Have had a couple of dodgy gameweeks in the last 3, so have shipped out RVP & Guthrie, for Roon and Nolan (next 2 then Morrison for 2). This has hopefully given me a more balanced squad, even if a bit defence heavy.
Jussi
Ivanovic Baines Rafael
Santi(c) Pienaar Michu Nolan
Lambert Rooney Ba
Subs: Bego Ben Arfa Gibbs McAuley
Aim is obviously to pick 11 for their fixtures each week, using the whole squad, rather than the same benchfodder every week? I may miss out on some massive scores but hoping for some steady 60-pointers over the coming weeks.
Any thoughts on this strategy, it should mean I'm less exposed to any rotation and associated 1 pointers?Open Controls
Captain RVP, Aguero, Ba, Hazard, Pienaar or Michu?
Open Controls
RVP, RVP, RVP, RVP, RVP, RVP?

Diarra and Petric also back for Fulham.
There goes the Baird-wagon.Open ControlsChristina, Cuellar should be fine, im pretty certain he'll play. Hes been talking up the Derby & Bramble is a doubt anyway
Open ControlsOk, as I need him to replace Demel.
Open Controls
Anybody thinking Sagna will start this weekend? Wenger focussed on Wilshere and how he needs one more game to get to fitness but failed to mention Sagna all together. Surely Norwich would be the perfect game to give him 60+ minutes?
Open Controls- Open Controls
He has a reserve match Monday, he might be back next week.
Open Controls
Ashley Young + RVP = Jackpot. (give it 3-4 weeks tho).
