While Sunday brought a rather tepid conclusion to the weekend’s action, the lack of incident allowed us more time to digest the numbers behind the Gameweek so far. In this latest foray into the depths of our members data, we offer further insight on the performances of Adel Taarabt, Raheem Sterling and David Silva not only for this weekend, but the last four Gameweeks and season so far. As for Glen Johnson, well, we’ll let the numbers do the talking…
You could just do Fellaini to Ya Ya for no hit City cover. But at the same time, when you see Silva in your team come Saturday, you'll feel all fuzzy inside. Do it.

Nathan Baker vs Ciaran Clark on the comparison tool 😯
I don't think I've ever seen such a one-sided result 😯Open ControlsLast 4 gameweeks.
Open Controls
I know...Baker is outstanding
Open ControlsBut that is just a plain ridiculous thrashing.
Open Controlserr...who comes out on top?
Open ControlsBaker. 97% 😯
Same game time.Open ControlsWhat does that mean? 😯
I was being sarcastic...I thought Clark would have been way on topOpen ControlsIt means in the list of stats, Baker has better stats in 97% of the categories. The only stat Clark leads is pass completion % 😯
Baker sh!ts all over him in the other stats.Open Controls
Do we think he might keep his place when Vlaar is back? He's been excellent right?
Open Controls
😯
Open ControlsIndeed. Clark's the better option they say...
Open ControlsI did Clark > GJ for -4 this week and was sh*tting bricks when it was 0-3 😆
I reckon Lowton is the best route into the AVL defence. Their midfield lacks width and the wingbacks provide it at most times. See Lowton's average positions in the last 3-4 GWs. Impressive.Open ControlsI have fond memories of Lowton 😀
Bit out of my budget though. I want to get
Bego Tremmel
Rafael Nelsen Shorey Baker Hughes/Jones
Bale Mata Michu Sterling Puncheon
RVP Rooney Suarez
😀Open Controls😯 I quite like that!
Looking to get rid of Giroud soon myself! 😳Open ControlsI hope he doesn't bite me in the arse like all my other transfers recently (sorry 😉 )
It's also tight in my La Liga H2H with Empirikal. He has Shorey and Giroud left, I have Shorey and Santi...Open ControlsNot asking for too much. A brace will do 😉
I'm in the relegation zone in the Bundesliga! 😳Open Controls
Wha? Why?
Open Controls
PLEASE HELP!
What do you guys think of this team?
Begovic Cerny
Clyne Cuellar Nelsen O'Brien Gibbs
Michu Mata Silva Bale Sterling

Too much in midfield???
Thanks! 🙂Open Controls
Downgrade Sterling to Punch and upgrade a Defender?
Open Controls
EVERYONE BUY TORRES!!!
WE'RE ALL GOING ON A TORRES HOLIDAY!
🙂Open Controls
I might have figured you'd be around when I got back... 😉
Open ControlsNow there's a familiar face... where've you been Zep?
Open ControlsMeditation retreat for 10 days... completely isolated location, beautiful surroundings...
I was learning and practising Vipassana meditation and the results have been staggering... it is completely free from any sect, cult, or religion... completely universal...
It is the same technique that was the original teaching of Gotama the Buddha, before it was lost to India for centuries for several reasons... luckily some monks in Burma managed to retain the knowledge and keep it's purity of practice in tact...
My teacher Goenka, who is from Burma, was the man responsible for bringing it back to India...
Feel so much better for the experience, really opened my eyes to the possibilities of understanding the cause or misery in the world...
I have taken a few more steps on my path to liberation.. 😀Open Controls😯 Wow...good for you. That sounds very relaxing and enlightening...my technique lately is drink loads of peppermint tea...it's good for the soul 🙂 but that's because I know no buddhas 😉
Open Controls
My wife did Vipasana in Canada.
Look up an app called Insight Timer if you need a little help with your practice, I've been using it for about six months now.Open Controls
Wow. You have really gone into one .... Ever heard of Chinese whispers?? Well , since Gotamas original teachings were handed down by word of mouth and never put down in writing for many many centuries after he died what you were taught on ur little excursion would have probably been nothing remotely close to what this obese man taught..... His original teachings may have been something like this for all we know..." "Farting is the key to relief". Chinese whisper that puppy for a thousand years and you get what you were taught.
What ever floats your boat tho right?Open Controls
The urge is so strong, believe me! 🙂
Open Controls
He only scores when he wants, wasn't bothered yesterday
Open Controls
I might do it. He'll always play, score a couple of goals, and a differential over the christmas period
Open Controls
RVP+Giroud to Tevez+Aguero for a hit?
City will score at least 3 goals against reading.
I have Silva too. Buy back RVP the next GW.
Big Risk. But tempting. Thoughts?Open ControlsI guess rotation may bite me 🙁
Open Controls
*Genius
Open Controls
You should do it. Things like that are so awesome. Imgaine if it worked. You will actually feel, and will be the man. And remember, world ends so meh.
Open ControlsI do not lose money on RVP as I just brought him back in a few weeks. Oh Well, this move may well be done on Sat 11:29, not for now 😀
Open Controls
If i Bring in Tevez, Mancini will play Aguero+Balo and bench Tevez.
If i Bring in Aguero, Mancini will play Dzeko+Tevez
😆Open ControlsSo moral of the story is...get Silva.
Open ControlsAtleast you will have one that plays 😉 . You actually should do it. If it doesnt work, oh well, nice try. If it does, fuk yea, im the man (and a lot of points 😉 )
Open Controls
needs -150%
Open Controls
Is it true he's only on -57% and to monitor his drop on TotalFPL rather than FISO?
Open Controls
TotalFPL is pretty bad in general so I never go on there. FISO is mostly spot on and just don't bother to change the totals for players on orange flags for some reason. Just keep in mind that when on an orange flag players need -150% to drop.
Open ControlsYa but someone posted FISO did not take into considerations that Bale was flagged..
Open ControlsNormal yellow flags don't change anything. Orange flags increase the NTO requirements but FISO don't bother to change it for some reason. Most who use the site know that orange = -150% and they are wayyyyyy more accurate that TFPL in general so you're better of using them.
Open Controls
when will Fellani's ban come into play?
Open ControlsZep.. welcome back.
Nice to see you're on a green 🙂Open ControlsHey Acqua, how are you?
I wasn't even in full control of my team for the last two weeks, I handed my team over with instructions to my little brother to take the reigns for me while I was away...
Just got back to see that my Cuellar punt worked out quite well, I'm glad I was not around to watch that last game... 94th minute, would have been ripping my hair out...
Hoping for some more of those green arrows, certainly desperate to get a bit of respectability back...Open ControlsI think you should let your brother take over permanently 😛
Open ControlsYeah Zep your brother is way better than you clearly 🙂
Open Controls😆
Open ControlsHahah I think your right, Billy...
Or maybe my recent break has set in motion a revival of epic proportions...
I'm living with better vibrations now... 😉Open ControlsGood to hear. Green arrows ahead 🙂
Open Controls
Which of these 3 would you have until the Jan w/c?
1) Turner
2) Baker
3) ClyneOpen ControlsJust did Enrique + Fellani -> GJ + Taarabt. As they say, Yolo, and the world's gonna end soon
Open ControlsThe forward-line of the future.
RVP - Aguero - Torres
Commiserations to anyone who doesn't have this by next week...I'm afraid you will be left far behind 😉Open Controls

£0.5 salary left over, 1 FT

B) Felliani + Shawcross > Bale (if fit) + Fonte
C) Felliani > Puncheon
D) Felliani > Taraabt
E) Felliani > NasriOpen Controls
Considering Cameron > Gibbs & Fellaini > Mata. Sound smart?
Open Controls
Will Baker still be a regular when Vlaar is fit?
Open Controlshttp://i.imgur.com/Cihmx.jpg
How do I get Puncheon on? Do I put him on? Everything else good?Open ControlsPut him first sub and he'll come in for Bale 😉
Open ControlsWill Bale not play? Knew I should have sold him when he got injured straight away!!
Open ControlsI don't think he'll play to Villa personally (also Old School's opinion – spurs fan)
I can't see AVB risking him against Stoke where he has history with one Charlie Adam.Open ControlsEven if he does play, a first game back from injury against Stoke? They'll batter him senseless.
Open Controls
Think I'm down to the below options this week - which do peeps think is the best one? Also bear in mind that I'll likely be WCing straight after GW21, so transfers from now on in are fairly short term....
A) Fellaini -> Yaya
B) Fellaini -> Nolan (leaves enough in the bank for Sess -> Michu next week)
C) Fellaini -> Puncheon/Sterling (leaves enough for Sess -> Bale/Mata next week)
D) Fellaini & Sess -> Mata/Bale & Puncheon/Sterling (4 point hit)
E) Save the transfer
Jaask, (Federici)
Enrique, Cuellar, Clyne, (McCartney), (Hughes)
Silva, Walcott, Sessegnon, Taarabt, (Fellaini)

Afternoon all
What do you reckon:
A) Young & Suarez
B) Pilkington & RooneyOpen ControlsB
Open ControlsIf you have RVP, then probably A) but with a different midfielder (expect Young to suffer some rotation over the xmas schedule). Otherwise, I'd go B) with Taarabt if possible?
Open ControlsCheers guys.
Who's going to take Young's place?
I rather like Pilkman - he scored a fair few points for me last year and he's a real homeboy. Norwich have several home games on the horizon and seem to be in good form. Pilkman and Puncheon also rotate rather nicely.
I'm looking for a replacement for AfroClown and don't want to go down the Yaya road. Will think on't.Open ControlsI think Fergie will give some gametime to Welbeck/Chico over Xmas. Also, Kagawa will be in the mix if he's back from injury (not sure on that one though).
Pilks is ok, but I prefer Snodgrass. Also, NOR have pretty grim fixtures for the foreseeable. I think there are better options - Taarabt rotates ok with Puncheon and his fixtures are better short term imo.Open Controls
Bench one:
A - Sterling (FUL)
B - Punch (SUN)
C - Fletcher (sou)
D - Cuellar (sou)
E - Fonte (SUN)Open Controls
what is the buy-back price of fellaini after he finished the ban ?
Open Controls
A: Fellani >>> yaya/Lennon/Nasri
B: Fellani >>> snodgrass/dembele this week and sess >>> bale/silva/matanext week nt won’t have any city/chel/spur coverage this week then...or do both transfers now for a hit
C:Fellani + Enrique/Rafael >>> bale/silva/mata + Clark/Hughes
D: Fellani + berb >>> any mid upto 6 + Torres
E: Fellani + berb >>> punch + augero
Options C D E involve hits bt am leaning towards C and next week will do sess >>> LennonOpen ControlsWhich do you guys prefer?
Fella > Puncheon
Berbatov > Aguero
or
Felalini > Bale/Silva
?Open ControlsThe former. Had a feeling Aguero would score this week, and now that he has, i see many more very soon.
Open Controls
Fellaini to Silva.
BTW, I already have the all-Spanish midfield. 🙂Open ControlsVery nice my friend... 🙂 I assume you did Demps > Mata?
Open Controls
Fellaini > Silva, but i can only afford Yaya. =(
Open Controls
Hi all,
Is this worth a 4 point hit?
Fellaini + Defoe to Puncheon + Aguero?
Worthwhile getting Aguero over Tevez? Who do we think is more guaranteed gametime?Open ControlsSorry if this is going over old ground, but any idea why Bale didn't fall last night? FISO have him at well over 100%, and they're normally pretty accurate...
Open ControlsIf this defence was a chick and you saw her in a club what would your first thought be? 'Maybe I'll buy her a drink' or ' Kill it with fire'.
Baker, Ridgewell, Nelson, Davies, HughesOpen ControlsIf you mistake 5 blokes for a chick then you know you've had way too much to drink.....
Open ControlsI'd tap that defence
Open Controls:-). If that was my defence, i'd tie it to a frisbee and throw it over a rainbow. Then Burn it, lock the ashes in a heavy steel safe, and bury it deep in the ocean bed.
Open ControlsI'd totally shag it.
