With two-goal strikers Romelu Lukaku and Arouna Kone also pressing for recognition, our rankings reflect a Gameweek where the differential came good, leaving established Fantasy favourites falling short.

Our members can examine the numbers behind the Gameweek in full via the members area tables and match dashboards and, as always, we’ve picked out a selection of stats that have caught our eye…

    RVP sell price is 13.7 right now. With the way his NTO have picked up and my plan to bench him next week anyways is there value in cutting him this week and then bringing him back for the DGW? I’d prob be able to by him back at a cheaper price in a few weeks.

        Daniel - U don't know what u r doing!!! Rafa out!!! says:

        Till now all the stats came into reality after several GW’s. He has only 3 shots on target in last 6 GW’s. I got him really cheap but have a lot of money in the bank. I am considering getting rid in GW 29

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Jan Vertonghen outlines what he feels is his best position for Andre Villas-Boas
