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.

    which one:

    a) vermaelan to baines (4 point hit)?
    b) play caulker
    c) play simpson

    Wildcarding tomorrow so baines would only be in for the double gameweek. Thanks

      A baines will definetely outscore verm by that much. He will get four for just playing twice and should keep a clean sheet against bolton

        yeh I was just thinking caulker keeping a clean sheet would mean baines would have to score 10+. However I think its worth the risk as he has double the chance to score big

    Spot on with the Silva prediction. Hat off for that one!

    And more importantly!

    MON!!! Get in. Amazing.

    I said it to my mate the other day. I have a feeling MON has finally found the perfect club for him. Big enough and with a manager sound enough to for Mr ONeill to work with, and "small" enough to accept his quirkiness. I predict a decade of Martin ONeill for the Black Cats.

      So many errors in just two sentences but it's New Year so I'll be nice. No one knows, the fact that he wasn't on the bench suggests injury but apparently it may just have been an illness. If he was just ill there's a decent chance of him playing Bolton.

    Ok please one question, Is Kompany for WIlko worth a 4 point hit so close to the WC? He will rise more and I want him long term, selling him was a mistake. Kompany will have probably 3 GW's to bring back those 4 points. I am fed up, with all those defenders in my team getting less than 60min and getting injured all the time. Vermy, Jones, Jevans. Wilko, Naylor etc. I want some stability in my team.

    Option B is Warnock. Nice fixtures but it is Villa

      tell me about it, I'm hoping it means next week will be better for those who didn't pick up points this week

    What a crap gameweek. My midfield reads 1,1,1,0 and even the 0 will magically turn into....a 2! Who'd have guessed Allen would outscore Silva, Nani, Bale and Drenthe?

    Other than the right captain choice and snow weeks, it has been my worst FPL week ever. But what a good week to do it in! It'll probably only cost me 10k places and minileagues are relatively unaffected.

    Nani to Bale or VDV?

    Or should I get rid of Mata instead?
    I have Sturridge so maybe too much Chelsea. Only other Man U is Evans.

      Get rid of Mata. I'd like to say VDV but the way him and Bale have been performing you have to go with the chimp.

      I'm in that dilemma too and I'm almost decided on selling Nani for VDV. It will only be for 1-3 gameweeks anyway and I think it's a good gamble on Mata.
