Gameweek 19 is brought to a close by the extraordinary events at the Stadium of Light and, with less than twenty four hours before the next deadline is upon us, our members don’t have long to digest the statistics and peruse our speculative thoughts on the Fantasy Premier League bonus…

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

      I think they always have a funny percentage for a player due to percentages elsewhere being rounded down? Something like that.

      They need all the percentages together to equal 100% so for the player with the lowest number of votes they just give them the percentage that will get the total to 100

    Rooney + Brown-----> BAE + Adebeyor

    sacked off with Rooney but I still have Evans and am hovering over the transfer button to put either Jags or Hibbert in that would be another 4 point hit but I think I will get those points back with bells on...............................so there is no problem with hits bringing doublers in...........or am I missing something?????
