Gareth Bale saves the gameweek, as Tottenham’s 2-0 win draws things to a close. Time for us to round things up, rummaging through the Opta data to pick out the statistics that matter, taking a punt at the Fantasy Premier League bonus points along the way…

So, captain choices this week. Who's sticking with VP? I'm thinking of going Sturridge this week, think he will bounce back and the last couple of times Chelsea have faced Villa during the festive period the games have finished 3-3 and 4-4.

It's funny how each week now there is a member's article re: possible BP's where non-members ask politely (in the most part) about the data etc. only to be ignored or dismissed with some throwaway remark about paying for membership.

It then generally transpires that it's all wrong anyway and the members moan about it, classic stuff.

Thinking of doing the following:
Brown > Shotton
Walters > Valencia

Current team is:

Ruddy (Westwood)
Simpson, Enrique, BAE (Tierney, Brown)
Walters, Nani, Silva, Bale (Allen)
Ba, RvP(c), Ade

Got 1.3m and 2 FT's (+Wildcard)

Not sure whether to do anything about my GK. Any thoughts?

Hi all,

If I hold off on transferring Aguero for Adebayor and Modric in for somewhere in midfield, am I risking losing out on a price rise on the same two next week? I've only got 0.1 in the bank so it might be tight. My midfield is Walters, Bale, Nani, Mata and Dyer.

I can do it because if I don't transfer this week then I'll have two next week and the games sit quite nicely for my team in GW 19. But the double GW for Spurs means a likely rise in price....

Arggh!

I don't understand all the drenthe love, with the upcoming dgw they have I would favor osman by a longshot from looking at points, form, and the way they have individually been playing. someone enlighten me?
