West Ham and Newcastle’s main forwards come under analysis in this week’s first members article. United’s youngsters display against Hull, Stoke’s rout of Fulham, City’ in-form frontman and Southampton’s recent resilience are also amongst some of the standout statistics on show:
Everton players could be a good shout. Can I really deal with having Lukaku in my team again though.
Open Controls
Hull have already shown they will rest players.
Arsenal definitely will too. Wenger wont risk losing his first trophy, ever, by playing key players in a completely meaningless game.Open Controls
Zelalem (VC)
Open Controls
Nothing to say Baines won't be rested. Unlikely, perhaps, but possible. Everton are guaranteed fifth with their superior goal difference to Spurs.
Open Controls
Repost from earlier, looking for some more advice because hit happiness has put me in a dodgy position.
Speroni*
Baines* Ivanovic Evra
YYT* Ramsey* Eriksen Mata
Aguero* Suarez* Dzeko*
23pts up, share starred players with rival, who would probably currently play Cahill, Vlaar, Lallana & Gerrard as differentials.
If Aguero is fit, what would be the best thing for me to do with my FT?Open Controls
I would do Aguero to Sturridge, and Mata to Silva.
Open ControlsYou'd still ditch Aguero if he was fit?
Open Controls
Mata to Gerrard. If he isnt, take a hit for Dzeko
Open Controls
I miss this guy in the Premier League 🙁

Evening Gents,
Best keeper under 4.7…
Mannone
or
SchwarzerOpen Controls
I'd go for Schwarzer, but you're doing something right if all you have to spend your last FT on is a keeper
Open ControlsHaha I'm really not 🙂
Look below...Open Controls
Commiserations Silver.. Looking bleak now , but very well played this season ..
Open ControlsI'm not that dude at the top 😉
Open Controls
How am i looking for the last GW?
Mannone (Adrian)
Koscielny, Demichelis, Azpil (Vlaar, Chester)
Yaya, Eriksen, Mata, Amilfitano (Mutch)
Wickham, Suarez, Aguero
Have 2.9 in the bank to make my transfer. Not sure who to get though.Open ControlsEven though Rambo is fit now, he could easily be rested for the cup final, so i'm getting rid.
Open ControlsI might get rid, don't want to take a -8 and need to wait for news on Rooney and Kun.
Open ControlsAlright JK.
I'm all set on doing a -8 🙂
Roo > Sturridge
Rambo > Haz
DDG > Mannone or SchwarzerOpen ControlsJust keep DDG
Open ControlsYou considering a rather "left wing" Cpt choice ? Gotta be only real differential to get back to top .
Open Controls
Hahaha remember this? Oh Kolo....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wssjQNhnqxsOpen Controls
KOLO SMASH!!!
Open Controls
Think I might take a massive punt and captain someone other than the obvious choices.
Who could that be?Open ControlsI really think it has to be a Liverpool player. Newcastle are utter w4nk at the moment, and Liverpool will just tear them apart. City will be more nervous, though WHam will have to come out to score if they are to spoil the party, so it could easily be a big score in City's favour. Outside of those teams, I think it's slim pickings.
Open Controls
Open Controls
Have we had the sell Rooney or Aguero or both debate yet?
Open Controls
Kolo is such a feckin legend 😆

Open Controls
Those who have already signed up for the MC World Cup Game, could you please give a brief outline of the rules?
Not sure if i would want to play it if it requires extreme commitment.Open ControlsOk thanks never found you lot helpful anyways
Open Controls
Jones to Skrtel for a hit ? I am 7 points ahead in my ML and I have Rooney,Aguero,Jones,Mata who probably wont play..
Open Controls
Stones still nailed on or are all evertons defence fit again?
Open Controls
In need of some serious advice. After a disastrous GW, I am behind my Mini league rival by 5 points (after being around 40 ahead.) I have 6.4 in the bank with this team:
Chesney - Camp
Coleman-Evra-Ward-Demel-Chester
Gerrard-Eriksen-Mata-Puncheon-Ramsey
Suarez-Sturridge-Wickham
Whilst his team is
Mannone-Davies
O'Shea-Vlaar,-Skrtel-R.Bennett-J.Collins
Yaya-Mata-Barkley-A.Johnson-Ramsey
Dzeko-Suarez-Aguero.
Any tips?Open ControlsMata > Yaya.
Bench Ramsey
Wickham > Lukaku
If you get Dzeko for Wickham you're gone.Open ControlsSounds good.
Open Controls
It's finely balanced so I'd be careful about taking a hit,, especially if it is to get a player he already owns.
Open ControlsThat is the only reason I still haven't done it.
Open ControlsWho is your second goalie?
I'd be concerned about Fabianski getting a game.Open ControlsHaven't got one. Is that a serious possibility, because it would seriously feck me over.
Open ControlsWell, it might be. A lot of people seem to think Arsenal will rotate to keep his team fresh for the cup. I guess it depends on whether Wenger will field a complete B team, and who he intends to play in goal for the cup final.
I'm just speculating though, maybe see if a kind Arsenal fan can lend some insight.Open ControlsI think I'll have to take a risk because of that -4
Open Controls... or use your FT to get Hart?
If Chesney doesn't play and Mannone were to keep a clean sheet, he will have a 10pt+ headstart.
Don't listen to me though, I'm a distinctly mediocre FPL manager!
Wait until Sunday before making your moves though if you can.
best of luckOpen Controls
James Chester. I have owned him virtually all season and now he is Welsh!!
Open ControlsEvs like this
Open Controls
He does 🙂
I wonder of Lukakaaaaas granny ever went to Porthcawl on hols?
He would then qualify 😉Open Controlsspeak the name and he appears like the genie of the lamp 😛
what are your plans this week transfer wise?Open ControlsNot got a bleeding clue.
So many flags, it like a Grand Prix here.
Wait until Sunday I suppose.
But if Aguero & Rooney is out, may go Dzeko & RVP or maybe Strurridge,
The latter could be a good differential (c) choice if one is needed this week 🙂Open ControlsDzeko is in for me if Aguero is out
The pig could make way for either of those 2 or Odemthingy. Or the Welsh Messi to ArnieOpen Controls
French Open starting in a few weeks:
Name the three Tennis players to have won that tournament in last decadeOpen Controls
Nadal for sure. Kuerten is probably too early, so.... Serena Williams and Justin Hénin!
Open Controls*Justine, of course.
Open Controls
Gaston, Nadal and Federer but it is pretty much Nadal's tournament these days and when Federer won it I'm sure Nadal was injured that year.
Open ControlsNadal was kicked out by Soderling.
Open Controls
correct and soderling then lost the final to federer
Open ControlsYeah one of the worst finals ever
Open Controlsnext year after that soderling beat federer in the quarters and the lost to nadal in the final 🙂
Open ControlsYeah, he beat Berdych in his semi while Nadal took care of Melzer. Nadal also went on to win Wimbledon the following month, beating Berdych in straight sets
Your turnOpen Controls
nadal has only lost once in the french open, you know against who ?
Open ControlsSoderling
Open Controls
You can all breathe out now.
Bendtner will be going to the world cup, as an expert for danish tv and radio between quarter finals and the final.....
Thank god.....Open ControlsI am seeing him in studio red face, dim eyes complaining/ranting about an adams apple....

NEED DIFFERENTIALS - 1xDF, MF, FW
Ok so who are the diffential guys this week, normally my leagues are finishd either way by now but only 11 points to make up need some differnetials which a chance of going off!
are people only picking players form teams with something to play for city, liverpool, spurs (utd?) or are there a couple of goal filled games elsewhere this weekend?
team mannone - evra ward baker bardsley chester - mata nasri toure amfitano brittton - suarez aguero wickham
cheersOpen ControlsLooking forward to appearing in next week's scoutcast
Open Controls
What would you do?
A. Start Mata
B. Start Ramsey
C. Start Ward
D. Start Sterling/Gerrard(-4)Open Controls
Just a reminder that the scoutcast live interactive recording takes place tonight...should be from around 9:30 pm. One of us will post a link up as a hot topic when we are ready to go. Special guest stars Evs and Applebonkers tonight.
Open Controls
think Ramsey will go straight back into starting lineup?
think Azpil will too?Open ControlsAny truth in the Mannone rumors?
Open Controls
what's the rumour? 😯

Biggest Douchebag on the Internet.
What is the world coming too?Open Controls
Who else had a shocker of a GW 37 then? - 59 all out and about 20K drop in OR to 84K with the Rambo / Aguero (c) / Rooney / Mata saga...what a nightmare.
Main rival got a monster haul of 102, and has cut my ML lead to 16 points (thankfully I'm still above him, just.....)
Going into the last week, what would you do with this lot? - I can pretty much do anything, and thinking of possibly -4 as I only have one FT.
Mannone
Cahill Demi Ward
Ramsey Yaya Mata Eriksen
Suarez Rooney Aguero
DDG Mutch Bruce R.BennettOpen ControlsOoo don't like that Mannone news at all 😕
Open Controls
Surely get rid you should get rid of Rooney anyways? Man United have nothing to play for, increase in risk with youngsters playing now, and RVP back. Doesn't matter if he is fit really, shouldn't be risked with the World Cup around the corner? Surely?
Open Controls
10 years, 2 days agoEvening Fellow Fantasists,
With the FA Cup a week later, is it a reasonable assumption that Hull and Arsenal would:
A) Field weakened teams
and/or
B) Have their minds on the Cup final rather than the match in hand?
Therefore, brining in Arsenal players is a bad move, but bringing in Everton players is a good move?
I don't have any Arsenal, and was thinking of bringing in Baines.
What are people's thoughts/acquisitions in this regard?
