Gameweek 25 is only just finished but thereโs another one round the corner already. Here’s our regular analysis of the Gameweek OPTA stats, offering Members a closer look at some of the most impressive performers in those midweek matches just gone by…
Any gunners about? What are the thoughts on Walcott having a run?
Open ControlsWalcott appears to have an injury ...
Open Controls
What do you guys reckon is the ideal midfield 5 for gw27?
Open ControlsFabs Nani VDV Adam Young/Cahill/Etherington/Bentley
Basically my midfield with a 5th yet to be decidedOpen ControlsFor JUST week 27
Fabs Nani VDV Adam NolanOpen ControlsI'll have the same with the 5th mid being Etherington/Bentley/Brunt.
Leaning towards Etherington.
Cahill can wait until GW 28.Open Controls+1. only thing in bentley's favor is two nice home fixtures. i'm doing wingie/rvp up top.
Open ControlsId have Bently as my 5th for gw27, prob is, need to get rid straight away after, the missing tot v ars game is really annoying!
Open Controls
same four, i'm debating between nolan/bentley. since i have foster for brum coverage and no newcastle, i'm thinking nolan. plus he's on pens.
Open Controls
Fabs Nani BDV Gardner Thomas
Open Controls
Has there been any news on Etherington being on the bench this past week. Just a rest?
Open Controlsmanager decision, i would expect him back.
Open Controlslittle nervey just before their DGW
Was planning on getting him: should I still?Open Controlsi was considering him too actually, but am not stuck between nolan/bentley. i have to see who stoke play again though, i think both away.
Open Controlsat Birmingham and Arsenal: so its not great, but the 3 weeks after are excellent. Nolan the best bet out of that bunch, for me.
But I might end up with both Ethers and Nolan if Arsenal truly have a blank week 28.Open Controlsi'm using second wc gw 28 to clean up the mess i think.
Open Controls
RMT Please guys.
Begovic (Foster)
Kolarov Coleman Evra/Clark (Kelly)
VDV Nani Fabs Walcott Adam
Tevez (C) Berbatov (Vela)
Need a transfer? I think I should save it for next week.... Just Evra or Clark to play?
P.S Pixie Lott's cover of Use Somebody is well worth a listen.Open ControlsCheck my transfer history.
Open Controls
Am intrigued to know... how did you find FFS in the first place? Surely no rival told you?
Open ControlsGoogled it and got sucked in, like a hoover!
Open ControlsWhen iwas typing FAntasy Football into google I pressed the wrong suggestion and found the site!
Open Controls
Typed "fantasy football tips", can't for the life of me understand why the lads haven't done the same
Open ControlsSaw a rival on it last year, sneaky git.
Open ControlsYeah, just wondered if anyone in my mini league uses it as its there under my leagues.. One of them mentioned to me that I wasn't doing too well in that other league that I was in..
Open ControlsWell the one I caught honestly doesnt know or care that much about football, I was wondering how he kept coming up with all these bargain players last year so I kept my beaders on him and caught him red handed. The swine.
Open Controls
Google. Fantasy football cheats. Got nothing decent.
Google. Fantasy football hints/tips. Found this, stupidest thing I have ever done. ๐Open ControlsKnew you'd say that. You said it ages ago before. Made me genuinely lol that time
Open ControlsWould have been better if he hadn't already said he found it via google
Open Controls
Jamsiep... Do you think that Torres will start on Sunday??
Open ControlsWho do you think will make way for him considering Anelka was motm against Sunderland?
Open ControlsKalou.
Anelka played in behind the two forwards - Drogba and Kalou - and was brilliant. Carlo is clearly lining him up to play at the 'tip of the diamond' behind Torres and one other...Open ControlsYep, it's what we played against Sunderland, and we absolutely massacred them.
I wrote this before the Sunderland game: http://bit.ly/e95Ggh
..but on the evidence on Tuesday, it seems as though Carlo wants Anelka to play the role I thought Malouda might. He had his best game of the season playing in behind Drogs - who was awful - and Kalou.Open ControlsThe Ramires point is an important one though I think... Jonathan Wilson, tactics guru, mentioned it the day after in his post about Chelsea... Although he thinks we won't be able to make the diamond, as well as the Drogba-Torres partnership, work...

googled when looking for stats/tips all in one - stumbled upon this haven that is unmatched for fantasy prem. league.
Open ControlsRBJ typed in 'fools and morlocks' and got directed here, to lead his one man crusade ๐
Open ControlsI'm Andy Murray. I googled my name (as i like to do) and saw it listed on here. Jamsiep is my no.1 fan. Is that right?
Open ControlsYes.
Keep at it Andy, maybe one day you may actually win a set in a Grand Slam final.....Open ControlsBoring boring Murray.
His interviews are the worst thing I have ever seen on TV.Open Controls
The person top of my mini league was in the FFS league, and I googled it. Ironically, I am now doing badly, whereas I was in 2nd not far behind him before I found out about this place.
He doesn't know I'm on here though, but I know he is. 8)Open ControlsInteresting responses from everyone. Personally I use to spend hours going through in detail fixtures just from the FPL site and looked at what the top teams did with transfers/formations and noticed a lot had joined mini leagues called FantasyFootballScout and FISO so searched them.
Hence why I dont join leagues with the title so obvious, dont want to give the game away.Open Controls
An idiot rival told me about it. He's top atm...but not for long. He hasn't play his wild card yet n its going to f*** him up ๐
Open Controls
Alhabsi (stockdale)
Vidic Kelly Djourou (Hutton,Simpson)
Nani VDV Malouda Walcott (Ferguson)
Tevez(v) RVP Berbatov
Transfer suggestions and team suggestions please and ill do it back for your teamOpen ControlsI think Chelsea's fixtures suck until week 32, so I wouldnt go near Malouda. I'd get him out for Adam and use that money to upgrade Walcott to Fabs before the double.
Also, you have a keeper dilemma for week 28Open ControlsYou should really try to post RMT's more often PhiL. You don't do it nearly enough.
Open Controls
Evenin Gents!
Which set of players look better for the next few weeks..
Vidic/Bentley(6.8mid) OR Coleman/A Young.. I wanted to downgrade Vidic but hard to do it after making money on him and seen that dream team star beside him
Thoughts? Thanks!Open ControlsCan't you start with one and bring the other one in when Everton have a DGW.
Open ControlsIm playing my wilcard now, It's basically if i get Vidic i only have 6.8 but with coleman i can get Young/Cahill..
Open ControlsPlaying mine too (see below). I think we played them in the same week last time (your avatar seems familiar). What's your team and have a look at mine (below) if you don't mind.
Open ControlsNice rank by the way. You've done better than me in the weeks since wild carding although I'm encouraged that so few points is the difference between top 10,000 and top 35,000
Open ControlsYeah theres very little difference between 10k and 35k really! My WC team at the moment is
Foster/Begovic
Walker Djourou Vidic Kelly Coleman
Nani Adam VDV Bentley Fabs
Tevez Odem RVP
Pretty much the same as every ones (on here) really!Open ControlsThat is identical to mine with the exception of Begovic who I am considering
Open Controls
From GW27 on, wich one:
a) Hart, Huth, NZogbia,
b) Szczesny, R Johnson, CahillOpen ControlsMy version of EPL Fantasy only allows 2 players from each team.
I currently have Vidic and Nani. Should I try to trade Vidic out so that I can bring in Berbatov?
My forwards are currently Odemwingie (not planning to play him until GW 27), Tevez and RVP.Open ControlsHad some great advice so far on my WC team so I'm posting the latest version:
Foster, Gordon
Vidic, Coleman, Kelly, Djourou, Walker
Fabs, Nani, VdV, Adam, Bentley
Tevez, Van Persie, Odemwingie
Still mulling over Gordon or Begovic but pretty happy with the rest. Tevez will probably have to be on the bench for GW27 and I'll save the transfer next week for GW28 to give myself 11 players.Open Controlsin a DGW? Might as well have a bench fodder player in that case. Tevez will have to score at OT (quite possible I know) to score more than Bentley's four points for playing!
Open Controls
okay so anybody think its worth to take punt on spurs' defenders with fixtures brightening up???
Open Controlsfor a hit, no. nice gravatar btw.
Open Controls
Ahoy! Whose hoping all their rivals players get injured in internationals between gwk 26 & 27 then? ๐
Open Controlsinternationals = unnecessary headache.
Open Controlsespecially stupid meaningless friendlies. they should all boycott them for our sake and to f*ck over fifa.
Open Controlsyeah i'd like things like the home internationals where england, ireland, scotland and wales compete for a cup, that would make a lot of sense.
Open Controls
Got a bit of a problem this week as i have no keepers likely 2 start, fabianski-inj and stockdale sub!!
Was thinking Fabianski>Gomes, an use the other free transfer to get nasri out, any recommendations?Open ControlsAny news on whether ya ya will be back for weekend?
Open Controlsis it just me or are all transfers free this week?
Open ControlsI can bring in any midfielder for less than £10m this week and this week only. David Silva? Ashley young? Tim Cahill back? I have the usual Nani, VDV, Adam.
Open ControlsLennon was in my thoughts. Ultimately though who do you fancy to score the most goals as a team this week? Has to be city?
Open ControlsYeah, but Silva is much less likely to be involved in a City goal, than someone like Tim Cahill - if he plays of course - would be for Everton.
And when I say 'involved' I obviously mean either scoring or assisting. Silva is bound to be involved in some way, he just never usually makes the final contribution.Open Controls
the n'zoggenator
Open Controls
so I am wcing this week, should I have done it already? 1% doubt thats all ๐
Open ControlsGuys if you want that differential then i've got a pretty good tip for y'all. As a Spurs fan, with a lot of key players out someone needs to step it up and everyone will be expecting VdV to do that but has anyone considered Lennon? He's hitting some decent form and looks a good shout to me. I'm losing 4 points to get him in.
Open Controlsnah
Open Controlsi went to the game last night and lennon had no confidence at all. was scared to shoot and scared to cross. a toddler has more power.
Best performers last night were gomes and bae.
Bassong and defoe were shit too. And just for shits and giggles on 3 occasions palacios thought he was ronaldo n brought the stepovers (pointlessly)Open ControlsHe did well keeping the facade of him being a decent striker up for so long.
Open ControlsMe neither, but I was actually ridiculed on here for suggesting it only a year ago.
Open ControlsHis tactic of smashing the ball as hard as he can at every opportunity only works for so longer...
It was farcical the number of people saying that he is the best finisher in the league after the Wigan rout.Open Controlsreason spurs won't make top 4 this year: 4 wank strikers
Open Controls
In 2 years of time I will have exactly this discussion again, but that time about David Silva or Anderson.
It what keeps me going up every morning.Open Controls
you giving gomes n bae praise means they musta been good. you hate them!
lennon just looked shiny in highlights perhaps, maybe he's just not england class
pundits credited bassong n gallas with good performances, shows what they know lolOpen ControlsBassong gave the most inept defensive performance i've seen since prunier played for man u.
On 2...thats right 2 occasions he played the striker in on goal and was a penalty shout waiting to happen. Gallas was immense. true leadership and magnificent positional sense (fortunately).
Lennon was a dogs dinner. Defoe wasn't any better and crouch ran outa gas after half an hour.Open Controls£8m for Bassong? Luvverly.
Open Controls
WAYYYYYYYY ahead of all of you with the Lennon punt. ๐
Open Controlsgood luck if uv put lennon in ur team. ul need it.
Open ControlsI'll take those 6 points from him last night very happily....
Although I did bench him, so ๐Open Controlshaha much better value out there ahead of lennon. Meireless, yaya, adam, n'zogbia. Ur insane for having him in there
Open Controlsyou are insane jamisep, an insane student whose smoked a little too much pot...it will get the better of you...
Open ControlsI'm just a massive sucker for a double gameweek though...
I wanted a midfielder with a good fixture this week and then a double next week, and Lennon was PERFECT!
It will inevitably fail though. Ah well, at least I tried something different.Open Controls
Current team:
Van der Sar (Begovic)
Djourou, Hughes, Coleman, (Kelly, Murphy(d'oh))
Fab, VdV, Nani, Dempsey (Ferguson)
Berb, Tevez, VanP
1.2 in bank, 2 free tansfers.
I am currently in front in my mini league(well, the one I care about anyway) and most of my rivals have Adam.
Am I better to do:
1. Cahill(trying to extend lead)
2. Adam (blocking Adam's points)Open ControlsAlhabsi (stockdale)
Vidic Kelly Djourou (Hutton,Simpson)
Nani VDV Malouda Walcott (Ferguson)

Transfer suggestions and team suggestions please and ill do it back for your team.Open ControlsGood lad PhiL, keep em coming.

Could I have some expert advice please guys...struggeling a bit with transfer decisions:
Reina Gorodon
Hangeland Kelly Huth Djourou Vidic
Van der Vaart Narsri Dempsey Vaughan Nani Taylor-Fletcher Berbatov Van Persie .
I wanna get Szczesny and Gardner in for GW 27.... maybe brunt?
Any advice much appriciated (no WC left)Open Controlsthere are no experts on here, just lucky winners and unlucky losers.
Open Controls
Hi peeps, what's the feeling towards Cahill getting played this weekend?
Open ControlsBentley & Odemwingie OR A Young & Vela?
Surely Bentley/odem yeah?Open ControlsOdemwingie might have a knock, and I'm not sure what all the Bentley hype is about tbh
