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.

    After the worst week ever I’m tempted to take a 4 pointer and get Baines in for Wilkinson.

    That will give me 5 for dgw – Ade, Bale, Walker, Baines and Drenthe and then I’ll sort it later with the wc

    Vorm

    Baines – Walker – Jones (Enrique, Mcauley)

    Silva – Nani – Bale(c) Drenthe (Allen)

    Ba – Studge – Ade(vc)

    Vorm
    Walker Naylor Shotton
    Bale(V) Mata Nani Walters
    Ade(C) Sturridge RVP

    Subs: Ruddy, Sinclair, Enrique, Simpson

    1)Subs Order and Captain choice correct?
    2)Bench Walters OR Sinclair, thinking Sinclair?
    3)Keep Mata OR sell for Osman, Donavan OR Cahill For a hit?

    1. Evans to Assou-Ekotto
    2. Ramsey to Rodwell (only have 5.6 for a midfielder)

    Will give me Bale, Ade, BAE, Jagielka and Rodwell for DGW.

    Some people keep mentioning GW23 as the last time you can use your WC.

    The last chance to use it is 11.29am on the 4th February, which is when you're planning for GW24; not GW23.

      The January Wildcard can only be used after Gameweek 20 starts (2 Jan 11:30) until Gameweek 23 ends (4 Feb 11:30); as the January wildcard isn't available until after the Gameweek 20 deadline, the earliest these transfers will be active is Gameweek 21.

      No - it can be used when GW23 deadline has passed... when you're making moves for GW24... when GW23 ends GW24 starts - then it's gone.

      But it's actually when you're making transfers, ready for GW24.

    I cant see much value in similar price range, apart from Sturridge or Agbonlahor. Sturridge could be rested perhaps? Keep Ba and hoping united defence opens for him or ship him? Alternatively i could finally lose Given for Ruddy/Sorensen as i got all the DGW cover I want

          Yes, it's his last game before ACON. But I'd keep him for one more week and save a transfer if you're not going to play your wildcard next week. I can easily see him scoring and not sure whether Agbon or Sturridge are better punts this week even though they have easier opponents on paper.
          Next gameweek is in two weeks, injuries are likely, so you'll know better who you want next week, and have more flexibility in transfers having 2 freebies.

    Luckily kept RVP as skip, very close to going Rooney phew! 41 before bonus.

    Had a rethink on DGW transfers, just can't justify selling Walters off the back off double figure points for Drenthe who may not even play. So now doing tonight Rooney+Silva to Ade+DVD and avoiding Everton who seem worse than useless at scoring! Might stick by the holy trinity for their next game too...Plan?!
