Another unplayable performance from Marouane Fellaini, ably supported by a string of outstanding Everton displays, lights up this weekend’s Big Numbers analysis, while the likes of Pablo Hernandez, Christian Benteke, Nicky Shorey, Robin Van Persie and Luis Suarez crash the party. Here’s our choice of the key statistics on show in the Gameweek so far…
he jsut said on twitter hes fine and was disappointed to be subbed off. Very minor it seems
Open Controls
Just out of curiosity, to all the people knee-jerking Fellaini in this week, if he goes 1/2 games without doing anything will you be rushing to sell him again?
Open Controls
the Fellani factor is that he will probably gain four tenths if he doesn't yellow himself next game and plays two games... then folks can swap and upgrade. I don't want to trade Nolan out for him, but it is enticing.
Open Controls
Evening all, slight transfer dilemma,
A) Bale & Torres > RvP & Fellaini
or
B) Yaya & Torres > Roonpig & Fellaini
I reckon most will say A but I'm prefering B at the mo, any words of wisdom?
P.S No peeking at my GW score this week.... please !Open ControlsHas to be A, but boy is that painful at this point. If you do it, Just remind yourself of last Spring when both Bale and Torres were ice cold.
Open Controls
Ok so it boils down to
Yaya and RVP or Bale and Rooney.
I'm calling that at 50/50. The fact that Yaya has done nothing since week 3 is a good thing, he's long overdue some returns. RVP will just keepi doing what he's doing
Bale is consistent and will do his usual 2,2,2,12 while Rooneys statistics (if you like stats) point at returns not far off RVP's.
Sorry, its almost a waste of a reply and probably not much help to you - I cant call it!!Open Controls
Crunch time for Lambert owners, if he doesn't start tomorrow it'll be curtains for him for everyone who has him.
Open ControlsI've held on to him for so long hoping he will start and get some more goals, he's been knocking on the door. If he plays and with the fixtures coming up he will get goals, he just needs to start!
Open Controls
Alreet lads. I think i've cracked it. Been pondering all weekend how to get both RVP and Ba into my team, but couldn't come up with anything that was less than a 12 pt hit. But after last night, there is no way I want rid of Suarez, and despite Ba's injury apparently being not too serious, i'm not desperate for another toon attacker, while we are so rubbish!! So i'm thinking of downgrading bale, and upgrading defoe for a simple 4 pointer. So.........
RVP + Knightly
OR
Rooney + 7.6m midOpen ControlsOr I could make it an 8 pointer and get cameron for kolarov, and valencia (or other 8.8m mid)
Open ControlsValencia + RVP (-8pts)
knightly + RVP (-4pts)
7.6m + Rooney (-4pts) - Maybe ramirez or llalana + cash in bankOpen Controls
For anyone thinking of ditching Demba Ba

He writes these with his foot...hence the twitter name!
Open Controls
Right im sticking to my guns and not doing pienaar > fellaini as i think pie and jelly is enough everton for me considering they only have 3 more nice fixtures! hello Ivan > rafa!
Open Controls
Yer Peanuts should have scored 2 last game_he is so due a goal.
I'd stick my neck out and say Peanuts will be just as prolific as Hair Bear, before he leaves in Jan window.Open Controls
David Silva on anyone's radar, when he returns?
Open Controls
I am on 42 with Foster and Puncheon (Hopefully he doesn't play tomorrow so my Gorkss will come out from bench!) to play.
Not really satisfied with the score, could've done a lot better with Gorkss coming up from bench.
Disappointed with Ba and Mata. Both should be back next week right?
How's everyone doing this week?Open ControlsGreat rank there mate.
I am only sneaking in the top 100k. Baby steps.Open Controls
What rumours?
Open ControlsBack to B*llocks
Open Controls
bookmark it I SAID.
Open Controls
rumours, the mirror are ahead of the game on this bust up. They reported a bust up in the tunnel but the details haven't fully come out yet.
Open Controls
The Mirror has a history of making shit up. Like this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3716151.stm
Open Controls
Love people ditching Bale. When he scored 10 points last week. FUNNY STUFF!
Open ControlsNot as funny as your comment on Friday laughing at people getting in Fellaini instead of Pienaar.
Open ControlsFor me, its down to downgrading either bale or carzola in order to get RVP. Carzola has awesome fixtures. Bale doesn't. Both have similar form.
Open ControlsI have to say I do fancy him for a haul against City.
Wigan were always gonna park it. He will get space v City away and that's what he needs. All his goals have come away. City are dire at the moment and look as if they have lost faith in Mancini.
The shit is stinking at City right now and they will be exposed just like in Europe, when they come up against decent teams they just struggle.Open Controls
Last night I did a -8 and took out Vertongen, Walters & Tevez and put in RVP, Nelson & Fellaini. I'm hoping that move was the right one, got get in RVP!!
Open ControlsWho are people getting in to replace Suarez after Rodgers described him as being "unplayable"?
Open Controls😆 Bravo, sir!
Open ControlsI'm getting him in_ Ithought his performance today was electric.
Waiting for his ban though_____I fookin hate him but I fookin love watching him AAArrghhhhhhOpen Controls
Easy fixtures for Manu coming weeks. Already have RVP in my team. Thinking of getting second manu player. Wise? Rationale as double up strategy plus as back up in case fergie plans to rest RVP. Thoughts? Tks.
Open ControlsRafael is the player you are looking for goodnight!
Open Controls
I know it will be frowned upon on these pages but I've just taken a 4 point hit to swap Pienaar for Fellani ........ it might see like a lateral move but I just don't see Pienaar scoring anywhere near the points that Fellani will.
I think Fellani will be one of the top 3 scoring Mids this year.... his stats are there to see. I'm just surprised the reluctance of people to make the move, his upside is up there with Bale and Mata which everybody was willing to take a hit for ........... but time will tell 🙂Open ControlsFellaini will gain more points. The fact is, in 7 days Fellaini will be 0.3m more, so that's well worth a 4 point hit.
Open Controls
Any love for knightly for Stoke's wonder run of fixtures?
Open Controls
I'm thinking that I'll save a transfer for the first time this season, do you agree?
Begovic (QPR)....(Foster)
Baines (SUN), Boyce (WBA), Gunter (NOR)...(Davies, Demel)
Cazorla (FUL), Bale (mci), Fellaini (SUN), Nolan (whu)...(Guthrie)
Rvp (av), Ba (WHU), Tevez (TOT)
0.7m in the bank and two free transfers for GW12 will allow me to deal with Guthrie.
Thanks....I know RMTs are boring!Open Controls
youve picked up nicely rca 😛 ...........agreed on the save, well done to you sir 😉
Open ControlsLovely, thanks lads. Seems I'm set up nicely, one there's no midweek injuries.
Open Controls
Yep, looks like you can save that transfer. (Note that Nolan's fixture is mci)
Open ControlsIt looks like we're both wrong! Nolan has Newcastle away!
Open Controls
Night Parm.
Open Controls
Bale will score against City Sunday. You heard it here first.
Open Controls
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, not sure what to do.
Begovic, Foster
Baines, Nelsen, Simpson, Hangeland, Demel
Hazard, Bale, Sterling, Pienaar, Maloney
RVP, Tevez, Berbatov
0.3m in bank, 1 ftt
A. Demel -> Gorkks
B. Pienaar -> Fellaini
C. Hangeland -> ???
D. Save.Open ControlsThis Fellaini bandwagon has such momentum now. The switch from Pienaar to Fellaini is extraordinary.
Open Controls
I'm thinking of keeping Pienaar and ditching HBA for Fella
Open ControlsI don't even mean the straight swap, but the thinking that Pienaar is now dead meat.
Open ControlsI believe in Pienaar's potential...I just don't think he will score enough goals to justify having him over Fellaini at the minute. I feel sad as Pienaar was the only remaining player from my starting 15.
Open Controls
Disagree. Fellaini was 7.3 and will outscore Pienaar over the season by 20+. Fact is people now know, get him now for 7.0 or get him for 7.2/3 in a weeks time. TV isn't crucial but a 4 point hit, or FT, to save 0.2/3 is well worth it imho.
Open ControlsI think Pienaar will get plenty of assists it's whether he can get near to Fellaini's goals. I'm going to keep Pienaar, it would be tempting fate if I switched!
Open ControlsIf Moyes puts him back left, he will get the points back.... Everton doing well but its all draws draws draws.... great for FF points but they need to get back to winning games - which for me seems to be putting Pienaar on the left and with Jelavic scoring goals. Why the fock has Jelavic stopped scoring? Will Moyes put Fellaini back into defensive mid where he has usually played? etc.
only thing beyond doubt is that he is going up in price like a rocket....Open Controls
Don't agree with that at all_Hair will prob leave Ev in the window. So will need a settling period etc
Peanuts is a main stay Eve and will get goals soon as well as being known as the assist king.
Peanuts is a great player.Open Controls
Main thing stopping me from getting in Fellaini tonight is that I will have nothing to worry about all week if I do it now.....
Open Controls
Also difficult to get him in if you know he went up already in the week. If you wait you probably won't do it.
Open ControlsDamn you Mito, you is making me think about doing it tonight.
I know Ben Arse will get 15 next week if I do it, but he is getting me down.
would leave my mids doubled up on SWA and EVE though....Open ControlsFellaini scares me, you could almost see a 1 pointer coming. yellow and one game suspension.
Open Controls
so how much better fantasy wise do we think rvp is than rooney?
and who do we think has pens?Open Controls
Go McCauley , go
Want to see at least 12 points from you tomorrowOpen ControlsThis defines Fellainis performance on Saturday.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd_Vd43Vxa0Open Controlsdid you watch it all?
Open Controls
Ivan + Nasri + Lambert (Santon benched)
to
Santon + Fellaini + Tevez (Lowton) -4pts.
Can only afford this tonight. Yes/no?Open Controls
Santon will not start when Gibbs is back.
Fellaini+Tevez good call even tho I would wait for Fellaini until after his upcoming ban. 😉Open Controls
If I had some injuries I'd know what to do but I'm in the almost unique position (for me anyway) of having a team I like and a transfer I'll lose if I don't use it...I appreciate this is an annoying post but it's driving me nuts and I just had to share
Open ControlsI'll wait for injury news of course but yes any suggestions would be welcome
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/43427/history/Open Controls
that was annoying. In particular if you have players injured.
Open Controlsivan to rafa/sagna
depending on how he looks tomorrow maybe get ramirez in for walters
and you don't fancy valencia bale cazorla or hba? or (assuming he's fit) ba up front?
think i'd want at least one toon player for their nice run and one more united player for their nice run.Open Controlsthanks for helping
yeah I just got Walters so maybe I'll leave him for a bit
I could save up money by getting Rafael or Cazorla/Mata/Valencia but it's hard to know who to go for...basically I just feel I'm replacing a good player with another one for no particular reason
I could get a Stoke defender for Figueroa but Wigan were very close to a cleanie against West Ham
I could sell Ivanovic and also Tevez to Ba if he's gonna be fit and that way upgrade Walters to Cazorla for a hit...trouble is I'll never be able to get these players back afterwards
ho humOpen Controls
What a goal from Suarez. It's hard to dislike someone as talented as him. He is really coming into his own this season.
Open ControlsI loved the goal too but I find it easy to dislike him
Open ControlsYeah he is spectacularly easy to dislike.
What a proper [WORD DISALLOWED ON FFS] he is.
Compare him to Sterling who gets fouled today and falls down, then with no beat skipped, gets up and runs after ball to carry on playing: whistle goes and he gets free kick - nation thinks "what a nice lad".
Suarez falls over, whether he is tripped or not tripped or whatever, and before he even starts falling his arms are up and he is appealing to the referee. I mean FFS this is not cricket. They should bring in a rule where you get a yellow card for appealing to the referee. Like when ball goes out for a corner/goal kick, players from both sides start turning to the referee with hands up IT DRIVES ME MAD.
If it wasnt for the FF I would find it hard to keep watching football a lot of the time. What a bunch of spoiled [WORD DISALLOWED] and Suarez is their king.Open Controlsgreat goal though...basically I just blank the cheating or else laugh at it

on my watchlist for the first time this season 😉

11 years, 6 months agoIs Ba not going to make it next week? No idea what's going on with him but a lot of people are planning to swap him out (not sure if I'm being paranoid)
