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.

      Do you really think it'll tell you something you don't already know?

      It's Everton, I wouldn't worry too much.

    Repost as got lost on previous page:

    Team for next gw:

    Friedel (Vorm)
    Baines Jones Enrique (Caulker, Simpson)
    Bale(c) Nani Walters Silva (Toite)
    RVP Ade Sturridge

    Got 2 frees and amconsidering Walters > Sess. Good option, or does anybody have any better other improvement suggestions? Enrique is my weaklink away at City so another defender perhaps?

    Was thinking Ba & Enrique --> Adebayor & Warnock but leaves me:

    Shelvey, Evans, Barnett, Ben Arfa & Walters (doubt) .... thinking I should probably address one of those issues? Or sit tight and hope Ben Arfa and Walters both play?

    Cheers,
