Chelsea’s rout of the Villa back four generated some impressive statistics for Rafa Benitez’s men, whilst over the way in West London, Martin Jol’s Fulham are stacking up numbers on the other end of the spectrum. We take a closer look at the team statistics involved, along with a focus on the form of David Silva, Steven Pienaar and Demba Ba as we plunder the members area for the key statistics from Gameweek 18.
Have had Jussi all season but am in no mood to go keeperless. Is it madness to go for Guzan through the holidays after today, or will they pull a Reading with three home matches in four and tighten up enough to justify the lost value?
Open ControlsI had McCarthy as sub GK and Jussi and transferred McCarthy for Guzan

Anyone else think that RVP is lucky that he slipped before doing whatever he was going to do to Williams? That might have saved him from a straight red!
Open ControlsThought that myself mate

Who to captain this week
RvP or Michu?Open ControlsWho should I get instead of Ridgewell? I have Demel / Cameron / Hughes / Enrique. The cheaper the better.
Open ControlsAs requested I've reverted my name and Gravitar back to 'Sweet Carroll Nine' but I'm tempted to change my name to Big Andy/Andy, thoughts? 🙂
Open ControlsIs it madness to be think about Silva ➡ Hazard, and not Mata ❓
Open ControlsWhy such a rush to get rid of Silva? I think he'll play every game in the next 3 or 4.
Open Controls
Keep thinking ManU are playing Reading this week, and thus want to do RVP ➡ Rooney. We all know that Rooney would be the winner in that match. But ManU are not playing Reading!
Open Controlsno, but Michu is.
Open ControlsYeah but he is boring, every fella has him. (obviously I'm not gonna sell, but still.)
Open ControlsThis ^^^! 😀
Open Controls
I would keep

Guys,
Shorey/Sterling -> Cameron/Pienaar worth a hit?
Bego/Jussi
Rafael Gibbs Shorey Nelsen Cuellar
Michu Silva Mata Sterling Punch
RVP Tevez SuarezOpen Controls62, happy with that but still got knocked out of the cup by a ghost team
Open ControlsThis may have done the rounds on here a few months ago but probably worth a repost.
Andy Carroll's Bebo page from when he was a youth team player.

😆
God be with the days of Bebo.Open ControlsThat couldn't be real? Favourite film the jungle book 😆
Open ControlsVarious big accounts reposted it - given the dates on it Carroll wouldn't have been a big name so nobody would've created a parody of him.
Open Controls
Wow he regressed in terms of looks.
Open Controls
Thinking of bringing in Goran Popov from West Brom. A good and cheap way into a solid West Brom defence. And he likes to get forward
Open ControlsGood luck in the PP Cup QF.... hope we avoid each other... 🙂
Open ControlsCheers man, same to you too! Great win for you again. Hopefully we'll meet in the final 😀
Open ControlsScabby rather than great I reckon, but hey ho.....
Open Controls
I like unique thoughts like this. Hope it goes well for you
Open ControlsHe is good player and good option. But Liam is a threat to him always. He is close to being fit no ?

Today's game shows why RvP is preferable to Rooney in FPL terms. Rooney was appaling today and delivered 1 point for his owners. RvP was average yet still delivered 4.
In others, if Rooney is firing he can get a monster haul. RvP can still get 4-6 points on an average day
Last season's lesson was Form over Fixtures
if this season has taught me one lesson (in a very harsh way) it's Consistency over Explosivity.Open ControlsExplosivity, ftw.
Inventing new words, for the Silver.Open Controls*explosiveness. Boring, I know. 🙂
Open ControlsI should know some technical words for it really. But I dont sadly 🙁
Open ControlsBANG!!! 😉

My head is messed up, worked a 12 hour shift today, 8am to 8pm (technically 11 hours if factor breaks into the equation).
Still, nice word to have made up 😛
The question is do you agree?Open ControlsNo. In my opinion, everybody is talking crap about Rooney. 😀
Open ControlsI do
Open Controls
Narrowly avoided losing in the cup to a dead team that go 14 points from Ramires...
Open ControlsHad an average of 11 from my players today
Open ControlsRVP deliveries from corners are something else

Predictions for which combination of United strikers will start against Newcastle?
I'm thinking Welbeck and one from RVP and Rooney.Open ControlsWhich is the best option for next 2-3 games?
1. Pilko or Sterling & Rangel --> Pienaar & £4.4m defender
2. Defoe & Rangel --> Torres & £4.1m defender
3. Defoe & Pilko or Sterling --> Torres & £4.9m midfielderOpen ControlsAll for a 4pt btw....
Open Controls
No better week for it...who are your other options ?
Open ControlsI would also have done it if I didnt ship him before this week. I am gonna hide behind the couch for this one...
Open ControlsRULE 2
Open ControlsYou've skipped Rule 1
Open Controls
I'm safe in the Bundesliga so it might be Kolarov (C) for me. Give Nitin a fighting chance, 50/50 coin toss on which Alek turns up.
Open ControlsDare you.

Was going to use my FT to do Cazorla to Bale, but I'm .1 short of being able to afford Bale. Is there any other midfielders you would suggest to replace Caz. Or is it worth taking a 4pt hit anywhere to raise funds ?
Begovic, Jaaskalinen
Enrique, Nelsen, Cuellar, Ridgewell, Rafael
Cazorla, Ramirez, Michu, Yaya Toure, Sterling
Jelavic, RVP, Ba
Thanks for any suggestions.Open ControlsBale, Gerrard or Silva best for hat sort of price imo
Open ControlsNot sure who you could replace him with but i don't think Sterling is going to be playing much in the next couple of games, as i think he will get a fair bit of rest, and i'm personally definitely getting Bale in so maybe take the Hit and replace sterling?
Open Controls
Begovic Mignolet
Rafael Cameron Cuellar Nelsen Gorkss
Silva Mata Michu Nolan Sterling
Rvp Suarez Berbatov
1 FT, 1.5 in the bank
What to do, what to do.............Open ControlsDefoe & Pienaar?
Open Controls
Mulling over these moves for a 4 point hit...feeling knee-jerky
Sterling > Pienaar
Caz > Bale
Have just enough to do thisOpen ControlsLike... 🙂

So will Tot tear up Avl this weekend meaning I keep Defoe?
OR
Will Avl show resolve and therefor justify my getting Torres?Open Controls
