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…

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

    In bracket is how much i lose on each mid. How to get Bale? Losing Silva is not happening.

                  Evans getting 0 when United keep a clean sheet.. Arsenal and Liverpool conceding from about one attack, Agger having a header cleared off the line in the last minute. Swansea being denied a clear penalty, Ramsey being rested and then setting up 6 goalscoring opportunities when he came on, Nani scoring 3 points in a 5-0 win after tearing it up in previous weeks, Rooney being rested and missing out on a 5-0 win, RVP (c) having 11 shots and still failing to score...

      Ps - I know the link in ur name is a wind up but I think Chelsea would be mental to sack Villa Boaz now.

      Needs opportunities to buy and sell in Jan and summer.

        I agree, but Roman was mental to sack a double winning manager 12 months after parading trophies through london. He's capable of anything.

          How many times.....

          Getting rid of Ancelotti was the right thing to do.

            I don't agree. You seriously think a CL winning coach didn't know it was time to create a new team after the last season they had? It doesn't take a young Portuguese manager to do that y'know.

              If Ancelotti was still here, we'd still be playing Lampard, Malouda, Mikel etc. in every single game, and we'd be even worse than we are now.

          That said though... if Bosingwa, Kalou and that RB Ferraria (spelling) are still in there at the end of Jan then its time to go.

          Also cant believe anyone is buying cahill. Well wank.

    May have been covered but oh well I've just logged on.
    Bale - basically OOP a lot of the game. Either ina very advanced 4-3-3 or actually drifting in towards being the main forward as Adebayor picks up the ball.
    In real life he's so much better than last year when he was getting all the plaudits.

      I only saw the second half (fell asleep through first) but he was really good. He and VDV pretty much had free roles and it worked well....for Bale.

      Think I'm going Ade, Bale + BAE/Walker and Jags. Can't be bothered working Baines into my team.

      Everton are rubbish.

        Indeed they are, but so are Bolton! I can get him in for Verm so may aswell go for it.

        Im still tempted to go for a Spurs defender over VDV but chances are Mata will be rested or have limited gametime against Wolves and VDV could explode.

    Welbeck, Pilkington and Evans to Adebayor, Moses and Senderos (8 point hit). Means I will be able to field a decent 11 for this gameweek.

      That 8 point hit really doesn't seem very good but I guess it's got to be done sometimes.

          There's nothing to say RVP definitely won't start, especially after today's result.

          I suppose it's likely he'll get a rest but there's always the possibility of him starting and then being pulled off early.
