Versus – Ramsey and Barkley

With five weeks of the season now behind us, Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey and Everton’s Ross Barkley have been two of the biggest success stories thus far. Racking up 32 points and 25 points respectively in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, the duo’s displays, allied with their mid-price appeal, continues to tempt huge numbers of new owners.

Drafted in by over 510,000 managers last week, Ramsey has already picked up over 144,000 transfers in since Saturday’s deadline and with 31% ownership, is now the most popular midfielder in the game. Barkley is not far behind – now residing in 27% of teams, the Toffees youngster is third in terms of midfield ownership, with only City’s Yaya Toure separating the pair.

With Fantasy managers looking for ways to free up cash to acquire the returning Luis Suarez, we take a look at the pair’s performances over the first five Gameweeks so far to ascertain just what sort of an impact they’ve been making on the field of play:

    Lot of faith in Suarez here on his first game back. Justifiable or wait and see? What do you think?

      Suarez is one of the best in the world so faith not needed. I gather he was on fire for Uruguay the other week plus he has United this week as a warm up for the weekend. I wish I could afford.

        Ah yes I forgot about the midweek match. World class alright but first day back at office most are usually subdued. Not sure about on form for Uruguay. Not sure if it was the last match or not, but last time I saw him he scored two penalties which were horrible dives, so I wouldn't exactly call it on fire.

      Wait and see for me. How will his fitness be? How will he be fielded alongside Sturridge? Will he aid Sturridge's returns, hinder them or will they both be options? How will he impact on the much, much cheaper Moses? Lots of unanswerables at the moment for me.

    I like the idea of Barkley a lot but I don't know whether to jump on the bandwagon or go with the seemingly safer Brady as a Nolan replacement.

          Brady is in every set=pieces and Penos also.... Whenever Hull gets a goal , he will be there in assists , goals or even bonus. Same goes for Whittingham

    Now what?

    Point hits?

    £14.0m for me is just too much to be even an "outside chance" especially when there are other options this week, Lukaku, Giroud, Sturridge, Suarez, Rooney.

    van Persie would have been my captain this week aswell!!!

    Question is, after using 2FT's already, do I take the - 4 to transfer van Persie out? Another dilemma a lot of people will have aswell as van Persie, are Walcott owners. I was looking at Ozil for a - 4, but with this latest van Persie news, I believe a lot of - 8's will be played this week especially after such a poor gameweek.

    It does make sense to commit if a lot are doing point hits this week, rather than not and potentially miss out on big points this week and over the next few weeks. You might aswell do them when lots are.

        In some ways yes, in some ways no.

        I'd rather take a point hit knowing lots of others are, rather than take them when lots arent.

        But Dogba has a point underneath. "I like to look at it differently... if a lot people take hits this GW, you are already up 4, 8 or whatever amount of points they lose."

        It can work both ways though.

            It also doesn't matter if you have already taken a 4 or 8 pt hit and are considering another hit, what matters is - Is the next hit worth it, will you make up the 4 points in the coming GW or make a definite profit over the foreseeable.

    I see that not many teams have Lukaku in them when people have been RMTing.

    He's 7.4M...surely a bargain???? Or is my judgment poor...

    You don't get much better bang per buck in this game and now looks to be first choice I think...but you all might know something I don't.
