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.

      Vorm and Hutton. Krul, Simpson and Ward play Utd and Chelsea so you want to avoid them. The way Villa and Swansea play it could be a 0-0.

      I'm bringing Warnock in myself either this week or next.

      Villa have VERY favorable fixtures with 3/4 at home whereas Stoke are 3/4 away and, quite frankly, are pretty mediocre away from Britannia .

    Is Baines and Osman the only really worthwhile Everton players for DGW? Baines has a good chance of CS against Bolton and always has possibility of goal or assist by hogging all set pieces and spot kicks. Osman is cheap and certain to start and is in an advanced midfield position and seems the most likely Everton scorer at the moment. Drenthe game time is in serious doubt. Donovan is unlikey to start either game.

    Putative design for wild card team:

    Krul, (Lindegaard)
    Baines, Senderos, Assou-Ekotto, (Huth, McAuley)
    Sinclair, Bale, Song, Cabaye, (Albrighton)
    Rooney, van Persie, Adebayor

      That's a maverick team right there!

      I'm thinking about that GK combo if Lindegaard becomes 1st choice. Don't like the defence at all. I would switch Rooney to someone cheaper (e.g. Yakubu, Morison, Sturridge) and improve the midfield. Song, Cabaye and Albrighton are hardly going to set the FPL world alight.

            Using WC in GW23, so saving is ok. I just would kick myself if Ba profits prom a United defence calamity if i ship him.

            I can do Drenthe (or Osman) but i just got rid of him and have no intention of getting him or any everton player despite DGW.

              Can't blame you after watching Everton game today! OTH we do have Fellaini, Drenthe (Coleman?) and Donavan coming back so we must get better! Could surprise Spurs I reckon if players back in.
