Gameweek 23 may well be behind us but there’s still evidence to sift that could well unlock some vital nuggets ahead of a bout of double fixtures. In this latest Numbers Game article for Members, we give the Gameweek OPTA stats a rinse to pick out some of the top performers who may have escaped the spotlight…
Yeah 3 is a bit much! Thinking about Kelly to Pantsil but don't know enough about him to know if he'll play both games this week.

Murphy > Carr?
He is 0.5 cheaper and already has shown more scoring potential with an assist. With Dann out for year and Johnson and Ridgwell the only real score threats if your not going for those why not go budget?
Is my approach wrong on this?Open Controls
what 2/3 defenders to play from coleman, hughes, huth and djourou. Would you drop VDV, Nasri or Tevez to accomodate 4 at back?
Open Controls
i would play coleman and hughes, all very good choices though.
Open Controlsi set on hughes now, but arsenal and everton both at home to relegation threatened team is v tempting. i dunno if it worth risking dropping VDV for coleman and djourou? Not dropping nasri or tevez now..
Open Controlsi wouldn't drop VDV for a defender. Arsenal could easily concede and even if they didn't VDV has potential to score much more than 6.
Open Controlswas contemplating dropping nasri but possible returns are too good. Dropped djourou now. Thanks for advice Shefki and tristan abc 🙂
Open Controls
to clear it up... the 4 being vidic, coleman, djourou and hughes. if i go for this who to drop, VDV Nasri or tevez? Or would you play one of djourou or coleman if so whom?
Open Controls
drop VDV unless u have fabs
Open Controlsi mean drop nasri unless u have fabs
Open Controlsmy 5 mid are adam, Nani, VDV, Nasri, Dempsey.
so would u play both coleman and djourou. I wud rather bench VDV over nasri, but too tough to call dropping one of them or going for 4 at backOpen Controls
Welbeck anyone?
Open Controls
Isn't he injured?
Open ControlsYes..... Obviously when he comes back which is shortly...
Open Controls
Welbeck is to have an operation ... 😕

Open Controls
I have him but won't be waiting until his return.
Open Controls
My team at the moment is:
Foster Al-habsi
Rafael Djourou Bardsley Hangeland Coleman
Nani VDV N'zogbia Fabregas Adam
Berbatov Tevez Van Persie
I was thinking of these changes...
GW24 - Bardsley-->Johnson R
GW25 - N'zogbia-->Ferguson
GW26 - Nani-->Cahill
GW27 - Tevez-->Drogba
GW28 - Hangeland-->Ivanovic
Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.Open Controls
You're thinking too many transfers ahead.
Plus, have you used both your wildcards yet?
If not then use it and do all your changes in one fell swoop.Open Controlsunfortunately i have....
in that case do you think i should change anyone this week?
Foster Al-habsi
Rafael Djourou Bardsley Hangeland Coleman
Nani VDV N’zogbia Fabregas Adam
Berbatov Tevez Van PersieOpen Controls1.0 million in bank
Open ControlsWell, can you afford to do Evra instead of Rafael?
Open Controls
I think you should not be planning to drop Nani or Tevez. One of Chelsea's dgw games is against ManU, so I wouldn't get excited about Drogba - Tevez could outscore him at home to Fulham.
Open ControlsPS I also like to plan ahead, even though it doesn't always work out it can save pt hits to get the players you want. I am trying to plan how to get Cahill into my team for wk 27 and it is tricky!
Open Controls
Who to play this weekend- any thoughts welcome, please:
Stock
Evra, Coleman . . . Kelly OR Djourou
Nani, Fab, Adam , , , Nasri OR VDV (or both)
Torres, Teves . . . AND Campbell?Open ControlsA) Berbs and Evra
B) Rooney/Torres and Kelly/Alcaraz
C) just Berbs and play Konchesky with Kolarov on bench for no hit (a and b would be 4 pt hit)
Which one would you go for?Open Controlsa)
Open Controls
Those of you with Rafael...SELLING, PLAYING, BENCHING or non of the above......?
Open Controls
a) Kelly + Dempsey
b) Skrtel + N'zogbia.
I'm favouring the Skrtel option since Kelly isn't guaranteed every week but I'm tempted to go with Dempsey as a lot of people have got N'zog.Open Controls
Anyone seen The Green Hornet? I thought it was rather good!
Open Controls
nope, but in the last 2 weeks ive seen 'the next 3 days' and 'the way back' at the cinema and both were quality, even my mrs liked em and she normally falls asleep..
Open ControlsIt's nothing special like but i thought it was fairly entertaining. The Fighter is quality if you haven't seen that yet
Open Controls
Steve Bruce is now 6-1 to leave Sunderland?
strange i know but he was 25-1 this morning.i got on for a laugh at 14-1 earlier.maybe Bent was sold against his wishes...hmmmOpen Controls
Another article recommending Bosingwa... When will you scouts learn? 😉
Open ControlsWhat's wrong with him, then, jamsiep?
Open ControlsI didn't mean in reality - I meant in FF terms ... 😉
Open Controls
He plays for Chelsea
Open ControlsObviously - I meant apart from that! 🙂
Open Controls
He's unibrowtastic
Open ControlsYes - it's all the rage at Chelsea!!! 😀
Open Controls
As a player? Pretty much everything. 😉
As a fantasy prospect? Not at all guaranteed to play...Open ControlsAha - cheers! 🙂
Open Controls
Which option:
A) Berba and Vidic.
B) RVP and Vidic.
C) Rooney and Evra.
???Open ControlsC
Open Controls
this is my team a the moment. who should i drop from midfield to accommodate all my DGW players? lokks like Nasri but they have wigan at home....need help here.iv only 1 free transfer too. WCs used
Foster
Bosingwa-Vidic-Hangeland
Van der Vaart-Nasri-Davies-Nani-Adam
Berbatov-Tevez(C)
Reina
Bardsley
Varney
ColemanOpen Controlsi would prob leave it as it. I dont think varney is worth the risk for the DGW, however if u had DJ would be different issue..
Open Controls
coleman ahead of bosingwa and reina to start in goal
Open Controlsdidnt see reina, yeah agree with mikess play him over foster m8
Open Controls
team atm
Van der Sar Foster
Coleman Vidic Huth Elmoham Baines
VDV Adam Bale Nasri Nani
Elmander Tevez Carroll
Thinking Bale > Dempsey Elmander > Rodallega -4 hit
Quite happy with the 3 united coverage
and the everton 2 as home against west ham looks good
Any thoughts guy's as dont really want to WC just yet
CheersOpen Controls
Hi guys, anyone know if Al-Habsi is likely to play both games in the DGW? I heard Kirkland was almost back last week and only didnt make because he failed a last minute fitness test?
I've got 2 free transfers but neither of my options seems to make me happy for this weekend due to the doubles. I want to hold off my WC till GW 26 if poss.
Any advice is very welcome 🙂Open Controlseven if Al Habsi plays wigan wont keep 2 cleanies imo. hence why i sticking with hart. Seeing as foster is ur GK he got chance of getting pts for saves. if in ur situtation i would go al habsi tbh
Open Controls
I really dont understand the darren bent move.
However, if they keep A Young then the delivery he will get from him and Albrighton will be very good!Open Controls
oh god, anyone know the name of the blonde sky sports news presenter on at the moment?
Open ControlsFoster Al-habsi
Ferdinand Bardsley Coleman Hangeland Djourou
N'zogbia VDV Nani Fabregas Adam
Berbatov Tevez RVP
Who to bench?
I'm thinking maybe:
Foster, Bardsley, Coleman, VDVOpen Controls
cant make my mind up who to captain this week. Adam,Rooney or kuyt??
will rooney start both games in dgwk?
should i play safe with bonus boy adam?
take a chance on the ugliest man in football, dirk kuyt?Open Controls
Cheers to Chamakh that and others who gave some good insight. Team sorted for weekend now:
Hart
Djourou Vidic Hangeland
Adam Nani Fabregas VDV
RVP Berbatov (c) Campbell
Bench: Coleman, Barton, SimpsonOpen Controls
Playing djourou over coleman? 😕 Similar cs potential but one's a winger and one's a cb.
Open Controls
Bent changed clubs on FPL already.
Open Controls
Just about to hit the wildcard button which would give me the following squad:
Stockdale, Foster
K. Walker, Dawson, Coleman, Bardsley, Huth
Kuyt, Nani, Fabregas, Dempsey, VDV
Tevez, Berbatov, Carroll
(6 players eligable for the double gameweek)
Your thoughts please?Open Controls
Pretty solid team mate, I'd play:
Stockdale
Coleman, Bardsley, Huth
Kuyt, Nani, Fabregas, Dempsey, VDV
Tevez, Berbatov
Just my own personal opinion to avoid choosing someone coming straight back from injury, don't choose a Villa defender in DGW, they will concedeOpen ControlsThanks Fratboy69. The line-up you've posted is exactly what I've chosen to go for this week! Long-term, Kyle Walkers fixtures from week 26 onwards are superb and given his attacking nature he could be the new Coleman.
Open Controls
How about SUNDERLAND making a cheeky 10 million pound bid to get Carroll from those low lifes down the road........makes PERFECT sense......Carroll needs premiership football guaranteed next season.....little Charles Nzogbia banging them onto his head and he gets to play for a BIGGER CLUB!!!!........as I said.......absolutely perfect for him........
Open Controls
Who would you guy rather have for the upcoming GW:
Vidic & Walcott
or
Evra & Nasri
I would already have Cesc.Open ControlsCheers bra. Are you wildcarding this week?
Open ControlsNo sir. Either week 26 or 27...
Annoyingly most of the teams with good doubles in week 27 have bad fixtures in week 26, so if I played my WC in week 26 I'd probably end up with a dodgy suspect for that week... Plan is to hold out until week 27.Open ControlsAh just looked at your team, your pretty set with double gameweek'ers.Thanks to that little gimp Rafael iv'e only got Adam, Nani and DJ(who i'll probably bench)
Open Controls
Foster Al-habsi
Ferdinand Bardsley Coleman Hangeland Djourou
N’zogbia VDV Nani Fabregas Adam
Berbatov Tevez RVP
Who to bench?
I’m thinking maybe:
Foster, Bardsley, Coleman, VDVOpen Controls
