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…
Despite your best efforts ii have releived myself of 8 points bringing MATA SILVA and DEMEL in for Fellaini Walcott and Enrique.... It is done and i am happy....
Jussi (EVE)
Sagna (wig) Shawcross (tot) Demel (EVE)
Silva (RDG) Mata (AVL) Michu (MUN) Sterling (FUL)
Suarez (FUL) Tevez (RDG) RVP (swa)
Bego (tot) Bassong (wba) Williams (mun) Kaca (liv)
1) Defence - Would you play Bassong away to WBA over Shawcorss or Demel?
2) Captain..... RVP with Tevez VC best option?
3) goalie - Jussi home zo EVE without Fellaini better than Bego away at Tott?
Thanks!!Open Controls- Open Controls
Ideas on this team?
Jaaskelainen • Begovic
Shorey • Ridgewell • Cuellar • Nelsen • Hughes
Sessegnon • Puncheon • Mata • Morrison • Michu
Suarez • Van Persie • Berbatov
1 FT, £4.0m in the bank.
Would like some Man City attack this week.
Which option?
a) Morrison to Silva
b) Berbatov to Aguero
c) something elseOpen ControlsI REALLLY hope Rafa doesn't play mata in the cup tie.
Open ControlsThoughts on Fro ➡ Young ?
Open ControlsYou have talked yourself into it.
Open ControlsI can see why you've said that, but no, not yet.
Just asking for opinions. What's yours?Open ControlsPicked Young last week & people thought I was crazy. RVP/Rooney hog the points.
Open Controls
Could be worse. Im thinking Fro -> Mikel though
Open ControlsNa i think he is a really good differential!!!
Open Controls
as a UTD fan... i personally HATE young.... i wish we could combine the strengths of Young and Valencia to form ONE great player.....
i think he will be rotated a lot over the xmas break with Kagawa coming back and with Hernandez and Wellbeck getting game time....
i would staz away personally.Open ControlsFergies coments about not picking up the runs of RVP makes me think someone will give way for Kagawa, and he loves Valencia ............
Open ControlsHmmm. This I did not know
Open Controls
hi guys
bego/foster

rvp/roon/suarez
good till mid or end jan?
of course with some fixing along the way to cater for injuries or suspension.Open ControlsNoice! Theo back and ready to attack! Poor Shorey
Open Controlsor get injured.....
Open ControlsShush you!
Probably both going off recent history. Since I've got him he's done 2 things consistently, double digit hauls followed by missing the next match.Open ControlsWow, you're chipper this morning!
Open Controls
Lets hope Theo gets double figures. PLEASE.
Open ControlsIndeed, I'm regretting Shorey ahead of Demel on my subs bench now.
Open ControlsI am playing him. 😉
Open ControlsI started him too, fancy a set piece return to make up for inevitable lack of cs
Open Controls
Well, guess you don't have Shorey to get CS anyway, he's for the assists and I can't see Walcott will be the main source to deny Shorey assists..
Open Controls
What's your take on the Liverpool result?
Open Controls
England are pulverising India.
Open ControlsA team in transition. We need new bowlers and bhajji back. Like it wasn't enough losing Laxman and Dravid, everyone wants Tendulkar out.
Open ControlsNutters. We lost Thorpe far too early. Nearly destroyed us.
Open Controlswe lost Thorpe early and won the ashes...
Open Controls
Bhaji is history mate
Open ControlsAshwin is not the future. That is my point. He is not a test bowler.
Open ControlsOjha is, though ... don't know about Chawla.
Open ControlsA shadow of his predecessors though. Kumble and Bhajji *sigh*
Open Controls
Bhajji is not the answer wither.
Open ControlsI agree that he has had a poor series but to say that he is not a test bowler is very harsh. Quickest to 50 wicks, can bat. 1 bad series is not enough to discard him.
Open ControlsDoesn't do enough for me. A great one day bowler, can contain. But can he extract wickets? I don't think so mate. Just my opinion. I'd love to be proved wrong.
Open ControlsAshwin more than deserves his place in the side. Contributes with the bat too. Needs to work on his bowling a bit. There are no better options for off-spinners anyways.
Open Controls
PS Dravid would have loved this match. We may not have loved him ... 😉
Open ControlsThe coverage in India has Ganguly and Dravid in the commentary box. Boy, do i love listening to them. Such deep thinkers of the game. Ganguly was indeed, a great captain.
Open ControlsNope. I'm one. London.
Open ControlsDoos, check this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwBMhWplEk0Open ControlsWon't work. 🙁
Open Controls
Yep. Can someone not kick Dravid, and tell him to get back out there? 😀
Open ControlsIt was Dravid's decision. But i am confident about Pujara. Perfect, compact player meant for test cricket. Watch out for him. You will love him.
Open Controls
^This
Open Controls
Am not a cricket fan but isnt Tendulkar like the Messi of the sport?
Open ControlsNot quite. The fascination is because of his size, and the size of his heart.
Open Controls
Tell them to go home.
Open Controls😯 Ehhh? 🙂
Open ControlsAaaaaand, again.
Open ControlsIPL has ruined india im afraid. the money, power and greed.
Open ControlsEngland Australia South Africa all have similar domestic tournaments. Hardly an excuse.
Open ControlsIt's destroyed us too...
Open ControlsThe Test players hardly play in the Big Bash outside Watson.
Open Controls
any council members around?
the tables seem to have been updated 😕 and we still have a game left.
will be out of the drop zone for the first time this season tomorrow 😎Open ControlsTables are updated on the run live.
Open Controlsyupp!
if you read our recent update post you'd know that the tables now automatically update. you'd also know that we have a new council member :D.
yikes! goor luck mateOpen ControlsOh you 😳
Open Controlsyeah, i now about the council member. missed the automatic update
congratz gilmore!Open ControlsCheers 🙂
Open Controls
The tables are updated live, so will change as your score changes. Pratik spent a lot of time on this, so there are no delays in the future.
Open ControlsAlso, nice time to hit some form. We might have to have you transferred to Wigan... 😉
Open ControlsHey, updated the bundesliga glitch. It was because of the dgw's which are unique to that league. Lucky for 4Vets, I tell you 🙂
Open ControlsThey have dgw's? 😯
That must've been a right pain to do.Open Controls
one last question before i'm off to bed:
who should I bring in for afro this week? other mids are michu sess sterling Maloney. I can afford to get any mf in for afro
night lads!Open Controls^this
Open Controls
Silva has Reading. Bale has Stoke, and we dunno how his form is when he just recovers from injury, he's on 4 YC too.
Aston Villa is in good form, and we have 4 games in 9 days next, not sure about Mata when Rafa is there. Actually I've had Mata already. So I will get Silva this week for FellaOpen Controls
Silva
Open ControlsThis week, yes.
Open Controls
I got Taarabt but was limited with money. I would go with Mata / Silva / Bale.
Just quickly, when and how do I find out about season 2 of the league?Open ControlsYes I have applied, but not sure when and how I will find out
Open ControlsIf you read the article it has this at the bottom... http://i.imgur.com/PwIR5.png
Open ControlsIm tired 🙁 cbf reading. thanks 🙂
Open Controls
The 100 million dollar question of the week.
I guess it depends on your Citeh coverage and Bale's fitness.
Mids: Caz, Sterlo, Michu are all necessities. Then it gets tricky. Silva if you have faith in him bringing in returns.Open Controls
Felliani for Mata or Silva?
Juss (Bego)
Enrique Hughes, Clyne (Cuellar, Cameron)
Cazorla Felliani Noble Michu (Maloney)
Rvp Defoe SuarezOpen ControlsBale!
Open ControlsToss a coin.
At least Silva's nailed on, that might swing it ?Open ControlsSilva the least explosive of the pricey trio - but there has to be uncertainty with Mata due to travelling and rotation, and Bale might not be back and is on 4 yellows. I think Silva is the unspectacular but safe choice.
Open Controls
any other late coming FPL stars beside Baker??
Open ControlsOff topic lads - but have anyone of you heard of WV (WorldVentures)? A friend of mine has joined this "business" and has been completely brainwashed. It's so ridiculous how they manipulate people into paying the company money for "dream trips", and then rip them off. Anyone has got some sort of experience with this company?
Open ControlsSold bale at for 9.7. Should I do Dempsey > bale or save
Open ControlsSince we have a little bit of cricket discussion, i'd recommend watching one of my favorite moments in cricket. World Cup 1996, quarter finals, Ind vs. Pak.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhs6FP7L8H8Open ControlsTorres or Tevez.....
Don't have any other icy or chel coverage...Torres assured game time bt it's Torres
FYI, upgrading berbs....he wil. Probably get back to scoring now:(Open ControlsDid you see Torres miss against Corinthians in the 86th min? That should be enough to tell you if you should pick him over Tevez
Open Controls
Can anyone give a good quality highlights link of last night's messi vs falcao match ??

@Sarnab - What happened to Djebril? He used to post often but I haven't seen him for months now. I remember you guys used to talk in Bengali even on this site, any idea why he isn't here ever? College probably?
Open ControlsHe is studying geology.He has gone to the field(for geology practicals) to various parts of India from his college. Will return next week. Also he is not doing well this season in FPL. Lost hope. 😀
Sitting bottom in our MLOpen Controls
If Fellaini gets let off lightly, I may do nothing!
Open ControlsAgreed, Doosra. When do we know what type of ban he'll get?
Open Controlshe will get a minimum 3-4 game ban at least tho. would you still hold
Open Controls
madness to consider doing triple city
have silva and kun
thinking tevez as well to cover all bases over christmas period
if they can put 5 pat villa how many can they do reading by ...........Open Controlsok cheers thought it may be a differential
But on reflection its too riskyOpen Controls
UEFA council people, if selected, any chance I can be Partick Thistle in the Rest of Europe league?
Open Controlswe will judge the applicants based on the criteria. of the 18 accepted managers we will rank them and the number 1 applicant will receive first league choice based on what they indicated, then it'll go down the list.
make sense?Open ControlsI think he means could we change one of the relegated ROE teams to Partick Thistle, if he gets that.
Open Controlsanother query, for those who finish b/w 10th and 17th, when can we start applying for the european leagues as i might not be here in january?
Open Controls
Is there anyone who's still giving Berbatov a shot? He could grab a few against Pool! Though I've been saying that for the last six GW's...
Open ControlsHis form is shot to shit. 🙁
Open ControlsWith Berba, form doesn't matter. He is the sort that can explode anytime.
Open ControlsIt sure is, Doos! But this is the problem I've had with Berbs all season. Transferred him in when his form was good, played badly, dropped him. Got him in again after the Arsenal game, now I've kept him for six GW's without a single goal or assist. Afraid if I drop him now, he'll run riot against Liverpool. Willing to take the chance though, tired of it.
Open Controls
I'm in the stage of just hanging on til Jan WC. It's not that far and his fixtures are good. I have other, more pressing matters to think about.
That said, if Benteke or Weimann perform vs Chelsea, I might get shifty with Berbs.Open ControlsI see your point, and I like it. But the thing is that I have saved up 2 FT's now, so why wait until the WC if I have the opportunity to ship him out now
Open ControlsYeah with 2 FTs your situation becomes a lot different to mine.
Will you upgrade or downgrade (cash-wise) though?Open Controls
I wouldn't sell but I certainly won't buy... yet.
Open Controls
How come Bale didn't fall again? Are Fiso's figures a bit off or something?
Open ControlsOrange flag. He needs to reach 150% before falling
Open Controls
Didn't happen this week. But probably next? http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/brendan-concedes-duo-need-a-rest
Open ControlsGood, they need it.
Open ControlsMaybe the whole bib thing, was for future weeks 😯
Open ControlsSell. Time to cash in the chips.
Open ControlsNot Suarez, he can't be rested. And GJ wont be either, I got Sterling for 4.6, so dont mind if he's doesnt play, im keeping all mine
Open ControlsReally? Because he might miss one or two games? Maybe it depends how much you can sell him for. I only get 5.2 for him and I'd struggle to find better value. Puncheon *maybe*.
Open Controls
Why do they need a rest any more than the next team scraping around on the edges of Europe?
Open Controlstbf europa takes it out of you and he has been playing same team regularly. sterling is a 17yo kid so aint surprised he needs a break.
he should give him xmas offOpen ControlsOur team for Europa League has been very different to our league team. He's only been having sub appearances for most of the comp.
Open Controls
Have huth and Hangleand retired from going up for set play ?
Both used to be beasts now both never scoreOpen ControlsMorning all,
Aaggrhh. I was hoping that Bale would fall by 0.1 last night so I could then get him in for Fellaini with only a 4pt hit. I take it he didn't fall because he is red flagged ???
Does anybody know if he will fall in price before Fellaini does ? I'd rather not do an 8pt hit if I can help it
CheersOpen ControlsYou could get Cazorla instead of Bale and then do the sideways move of Caz to Bale after next weeks games (Bale v's Stoke and Caz v's Wigan); not too bad an option
Open ControlsCaz home to West Ham the week after, though. Unless Arsenal get even worse then it's gonna be tough to make that move, for me at least.
Open Controls
No idea about the timing of the price falls... but i'm facing an 8 pointer too... the week the cup starts 🙁
Open Controls
How would you improve this team?
Foster / Begovic
Davies / Jose Enrique / Evans J / Nelsen / Gorkss
Sterling / Michu / Puncheon / Silva / Fellaini
Van Persie / Suarez / Ba
1 FT, £2.7m in the bank.
