The Numbers Game – Gamst-Pedersen Blossoms Under Kean

While Danny Welbeck’s winner for Sunderland attracted keen interest from Fantasy investors, another player in the mid-price bracket quietly went about his business and hovered up another 3 Fantasy Premier League Bonus Points as a result.

Morten Gamst-Pedersen failed to register a goal or assist in the 1-1 draw with West Ham but, on investigation of the OPTA stats available to our Members, we can not only see evidence of perhaps his best performance of the season, we can also detect a transformation in Blackburn’s play that could promote the Norwegian in our thinking for weeks to come…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Just lost my FPL cup tie on goals conceded when I was waiting for the virtual coin toss. Fired off the following email to FPL Towers:

    [i]Hi FPL,

    Apparently I've lost my FPL cup tie on 'goals conceded'.

    How?

    We drew 2-2. My Opponent (ID 421589) conceded 2 goals through Hart (his only player). I (ID 758121) conceded 2 goals through Kolarov. That's a tie and the dreaded 'virtual coin toss'.

    My other players: Samba was subbed on 56mins - NO goals conceded. Tevez is a forward - NO goals conceded.

    Please explain.

    Thanks,

    John[/i]

    I doubt I'll be reinstated as it'll take them 24-48hrs to respond but if they're applying some freaky rules (i.e., Man City conceded 2 so that goes against Tevez) then it might be useful for other forum members as they go forward in the cup.

    Watch this space as they say.

    PS: Tried my first 'italics' so if it fails, I'll already know as soon as I read after hitting 'submit'. 😉

      I think the virtual coin toss rule is absolutely stupid. Unlucky on that one. some of my rivals got knocked out by virtual coin toss last year too.

    Nasri Nani (c) Malouda N’Zogbia
    Torres Tevez Carroll
    Subs: Krul Ferguson Shawcross Jara
    4.1 in the bank

    2 frees, so if all the games are played (which they probably won’t), looking at doing Shawcross to Rafael, then saving the other transfer. Only guy that really needs to go is Krul, but I think I can make it to the WC with only Foster.
    Would still give me enough to do a move like N’Zogbia to VDV, or Malouda to Lamps in a GW or two.

    Probably not going to do any groundbreaking moves, between:
    A. Shawcross to Rafael
    B. Krul to Gordon
