With the Gameweek almost complete, our Members are able to pick apart individual performances via the statistics found in our Members Area, including our own ICT Index scores. Prior to tomorrow’s award of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bonus points, here is our breakdown of the key performers from each match according to our ratings.
Is Young > Nani a waste of a transfer?
I have two free, 0.4m in the bank and the only other player I really need to remove is Senderos...
The extra 0.4m will come in handy for upgrading Tiote later!Open Controls
fabio is going down every week (at 4.5mil currently). if circumstances ever make him first choice for a while he'll be fantasy gold
Open Controls
He must've pissed in SAF's coffee or something, strange that valencia is getting picked at right back ahead of him. Originally, i thought Smalling/Jones were being played to compensate for the lack of aerial dominance in Vidic's abscence and to give Smalling/Jones a good run in the team together, but now I dunno.
Open Controls
I don't think SAF really knows what he's doing with the Da Silva twins. It looked at one point like Rafael was going to be the first choice RB. Then all of a sudden his brother, who usually played as LB, is given RB over him.
I think that champs league QF, when Rafael got sent off and cost United the game, has left a big mark on SAF.Open Controls
Prob keep him but, Rooney --> Aguero for blackburn, then Aguero --> RVP for SUN, STO. Hmm..
Open Controls
Debating wildcarding one week earlier than planned, necessary?
Already did Walcott>Nani today:
Given/Ruddy
Bosingwa Brown S.Taylor De Laet Kompany
Nani Mata Brunt Sinclair Jarvis
Rooney Dzeko Adebayor
Just not sure and looking for a little advice...Open Controls
You really dont need to play wc.
Save it until the weather is horrible, the fixtures all over the place, and everyone else has used theirs already.Open ControlsThere's not much i'd change to justify playing it.
Brunt, De Laet and Dzeko are the only ones that need urgent shifting really. Can even exclude Dzeko from that depending on if he plays against BayernOpen Controls
Charlie Adam.
Assists in 3 diffierent games.
Has scored.
Got a 3 bonus in a game in which he neither scored or assisted.
Dropped in value.
I know Gerrard is on his way back but i find this pretty odd still.
Anyone got any thoughts?Open ControlsSilva/Nani
Open ControlsSilva is nothing new though? Silva was doing great when adam was rising in value.
Nani is looking like the new must have. I'd have to spend 4 though and am reluctant. Norwich at home though...Open Controls
It might just be negative thinking, i'm a huge united fan, but i do feel nani has these little spell and then all of a sudden dries up, it wont be long until people on this forum are the total opposite saying he's doing nothing etc etc, transfer out and all that.
I do hope i'm wrong i hope he works out well, i just feel young is a much better 'season' points provider imo 🙂Open Controls
I liked Young before - still do.
But news on the strikers will have an effect, I think. If both Roon and Hernandez are out, than nani becomes more imperative. If one or both are back for NOR, then I like Young.Open ControlsThats true mate, nani becomes more important the more players are filtered out around him dont they, he's a good focal point whilst roon and hernan are out i guess, because of the similarities in price as well it would be no trouble transferring out nani for some equally as effective 🙂
Open Controls
No big deal Mannioni, if he stops being good Transfer him for someone on form. No season keepers as far as I'm concerned. When they stop being decent out they go. They don't mind much. 🙂
Open ControlsYup, makes sense really. They dont mind lol.
Although i was having a chat to van persie before (the little red top on the comp screen) and he told me he will be getting a hat trick next gameweek, i think they have feelings lol! Could just be the voices in my head though lmao 🙂Open Controls
Was at the Solheim cup today, the women were awful at driving but decent with the irons...
Open Controls
Just watched Horrible Bosses. Jen Aniston, OMG.
Open Controls
Got Rooney in for there first time this season and he doesn't play. What do people think of Rooney out for Adebayor, Sessengon out for Nani?
Open ControlsNeed to replace Senderos with a 4.9m or less defender...
Any ideas?Open Controlsjose bosingwa has as many attacking points as lampard this season
Open ControlsLampard 2011 - the reason Scholes retired 2010!

Brought the kids to the circus, happily banking my Warnock CS as I switched off the car radio as it went into extra time....
So, Warnock is my 1 point Rooney replacement...oh well.
A 0-0 in the game tomoro night would probably give me a 70+ GW.
The comeback starts nowOpen Controls*injury time
Open Controls
If you could pick any striker short term for 10.5 or less, who would it be, and why? 🙂
Open Controls
adebayor
Open ControlsAdebayor for so many reasons...
Open Controls
Drogba. He'll be starting the next 3 games. 😉
Open Controls
Drogba. Because he's the best player under £10.5
Open Controlsbefore I posted this I was thinking, Drogba, Ade or Suarez.
Leaning towards Drog because he will want to show he should be a regular first first team player, and moving away from Ade as he can often disappear in games. Then again, he will be fired up against his old club and his value will increase!!Open Controlssteven fletcher. goals and fixtures
Open Controls
Drobga, good fixtures and will be playing with a point to prove
Open Controls
Okay, so Rooney will either start or not show at all vs Norwich right? Therefore captaining him with Young as vc is cool right? 😐
Open ControlsYeah, I'd guess so buddy. Wouldn't worry about making the decision just yet. Ther'll be plenty of info on Rooney's injury to come.
Open ControlsI don't think Rooney will play at all. It's probably been discussed ad infinitum all weekend on here, so apologies as I haven't been around on here.
SAF has set it all up perfectly. England have all but qualified. Rooney and Capello won't dare go against Alex. SAF wants Rooney to have a nice long break before the Liverpool and City games. Personally I'm getting rid of Rooney, possibly to return when I WC after GW11Open Controls
Well gents, first 4-point hit of the season is on the way this week to fund a move for some Man U coverage.
Baines is the man making way, so ideally I'm looking for a cheap defender with decent fixtures that will ideally compliment my current lineup which include Kompany, Bosingwa, J Enrique and Simpson. Any suggestions?Open ControlsRangel - solid defence and attackong outlet, done great for me all season
Open Controls
1) Rooney -> Adebayor
Sinclair -> Nani
4 point hit.
2) Rooney -> RVP
No hit.
Im tempted by 1) as i have no Utd cover for the Nowich (H) game.Open Controls1 looks preferable, but have a strong feeling about van persie next week, its a tough one.....i may captain van persie though, thats how strong i feel about it, but one looks more safer -)
Open Controls
Oh no I better no get him he could get sent off. 😉
Open Controlsvery funny mate lol 🙂
I think your safe with van persie, a red card for torres was the last thing we all expected in truth, have got a good feeling about van persie though, their due their win over tottenham 🙂Open ControlsDid you captain RVP this week?
Open Controlsnah i captained torres mate, and was on to a great winner until he dropped that hell of a clanger, just transferred van persie in today 🙂
Open ControlsI'm gonna get him in. I was just waiting for him to get on the score sheet. It's even better now that Rooney is 'injured'.
Open ControlsIts a cool move i reckon mate, arsenal are (much uicker than i thought) are re-genreating already into a strong team.
Arteta is in live for a great season, and supply from him among others is excellent for van persie, i wouldnt be surprised for a shock brace against tottenham myself, i know you said before that you tend to do the opposite to what others say but with this one i feel strong about it, starting to follow my insticts again now ive stopped playing 'safe' (dunno why the hell i didn't just follow my initiative to this season's start) and when i do i tend to do well 🙂Open ControlsSounds like a good idea mate, the walcott move could be pure genius! pity i've already played my wildcard, ah well, suppose it makes me keep faith with my team i guess, well, at least until january! lol. I shall claw rooney back somehow definately 🙂
Right, off to the pit now, speak to ya later man 🙂Open Controls
God i hope de laet plays tomorrow, please please please play! 🙂
Open ControlsI have Ruddy, so I rather hope De Laet doesn't play..

Fergie says Rooney's injury is not serious but he should be out for more than a week.Open Controlsif hes fit he plays
Open Controls
I think he's fine but won't face Norwich as SAF probably doesn't want him on international duty before a trip to Anfield and City at home.
Surely England can qualify without him, they need a point from 2 games? Then again he'll want to play for England...Open Controls
Early wildcard thoughts..
Krul Vorm
Bosingwa (or Jones) Kompany S.Taylor Woodgate N.Taylor
Bannan Nani Silva Petrov Ramsey
Aguero Drogba Adebayor
Drogba will play the next three, by which time I'll somehow find space for Rooney. I like it, thoughts?Open Controlsi like it, except not bannan for me.
I'd down Taylor to simpson too.Open ControlsBannan can easily become Dyer, just looking for a differential.
I've had S.Taylor from the start and think he's worth the extra money over Simpson hands down.Open ControlsSaylor over Simpson is a no brainer taking attacking potential into account.. Bannan must become Dyer.
Open Controls
We play well against Bolton, Drogba especially.
Open Controlsi second that, think chelsea will kill bolton, just hope its mata or meireles who does the scoring as i opted for the van persie bus instead of taking a chance on drogba, could pay off though, just whether someone has the balls to put him as captain 🙂
Open Controls
I like it too actually, but would suggest dyer over bannan and defo go for bosingwa, unless u want some cash in the bank 😉
Open Controls
A potential cheapie is McAuley, he's only 4.0 and got MOTM against Fulham, was one of the best debuts by an Albion player I've ever seen, played brilliant.
Open ControlsHow likely is he to start every game?
Open ControlsWon't he lose his place to Scharner when he comes back?
Open Controls
what position please?
Open ControlsWBA's fixture's aren't all that (sun WLV avl LIV ars). Even if he is good value I could only play him semi-confidently in one of those.
Open Controls
berbatov the snake to score 3-4 v norwich if rooney is out, can just see it..blackburn last season
Open ControlsTo keep Rooney or not to keep? That is the question...
Open ControlsI kind of want to shift him. He will probably not play against Norwich, and then he has liverpool and city games coming up.
Sure, we've seen that he is basically fixture proof, but Rooney has dropped form before after a few weeks out.
Might do Rooney > Aguero in the hope that Rooney's price will drop after he is rested against Norwich.Open ControlsYe I was thinking that he would only be missing one game really, and at the moment I have 3 man city players already, so can't get aguero. Was thinking about getting drogba but think it might be pointless just for one game really.
Open Controls
my team at the moment:
given / al habsi
j.enrique / bosingwa / kompany / simpson / olsson
silva / a.young / jarvis / moses / ferguson
rooney / aguerro / odemwinge
who should i ship out for next weekend? And who should I buy-in? I have two free transfers!Open ControlsOdemwingie to either best or gabby Abby
And Jarvis to Ramires?Open Controlsthat is exactly what i tried to do! jarvis to ramires and odemwinge to gabby, but i can't afford it by 0.1! might have to conder best...
Open ControlsHuh? The difference between jarvis and ramires is 0.6, and that's the same as the difference between gabby and Odem.
Open Controls
Any views on what position Ben Afra will play and who he might replace, looks a potential bargain at 5.4.
Open Controls
Current team for next week:
Vorm (Schwarzer)
N.Taylor Bosingwa Lescott (Ward, S.Taylor)
Jarvis N.Dyer Silva(c) Mata Arteta
Agbonlahor Adebayor (Rooney)
1.5mil in bank.
Anyone think I can save my transfer?Open Controlsyup, nice one. cheers.
Open Controls
I dont think you need to change really, but personally don't see Jarvis doing much vs a good Newcastle side atm!
Open ControlsOops reply fail to chris above
Open ControlsYeah my initial change was going to be Jarvis > Larsson...either that or stick.
Open ControlsHmm stick it out for this week, Jarvis always randomly pops up with a good performance at home, so risk it in my opinion, save ur transfer for a rainy day.
Open ControlsI have Jarvisand will play him,Newcastle were totally outplayed away to QPR
Open ControlsIs Phil Jones nailed on?
Open ControlsI think he is proper quality, good attacking force, provided some assists and also a pretty good defender and seems to be playing every united game. He will be playing the next game and hopefully provide some gd points! Who you thinking of changing for him?
Open ControlsWard, Wolves have lost their spark already and I don't see cleanies in the near future. I know Jones has 'Pool and Citeh coming up but I have coverage for those and might even chance him against Liverpool.
Open ControlsBut would then have to decide between Jarvis or Dyer in midfield to start.
Open ControlsI think Jarvis is gd for this week, Stoke were strong against man utd, and don't see that much happening at that game goal wise. See both teams sitting back and defending.
Open Controls
Sound like a good shout to me, I'm keeping him, I think he is a dangerous attacker from defence and causes teams problems. He is on my team for pool game too but probs bench him for the city game. Don't see him getting replaced any time soon either. And he is only going up in price at the moment.
