With just Everton’s trip to White Hart Lane left to be played in the gameweek, it’s time for our members to soak up our pick of the stats from the action so far, along with our punt on how the Fantasy Premier League bonus will pan out…
2 - at the halfway stage of the season tim howard is only 2 goals off being everton's top scorer
Open Controls
Prolific.
Open Controls
good suggestion
howard up front v spursOpen Controls
They are a side that could end up in real trouble, very limited.
Open Controls
And one less PL goal all season than the £50m man. This still has legs.
Open Controlsit's the camo shirt. by the time they see him the ball has bounced over their head
Open Controlsat what point do transfer fees become irrelevant? if its a billionaires and not the clubs money, then the amount paid affects no one
although an investment of £500,000 for Torres would have been over-spending with how he's playedOpen Controls
Other than the Arsenal game, every time I've watched a full game where Torres has been involved, he's played well.
Thought he was Chelsea's best player on Tuesday.Open Controls
Nearest ML rival has him this week, hard to stomach.
Open Controls
more than Stewart Downing
Open Controls
wow I am incredulous about that stat
they need a yakOpen Controls
apparently jagielka left goodison park on crutches. as an adebayor captainer this could help
Open Controls
my h2h rival has larsson and brown, both dont play so on comes R. taylor and Ba
Open Controls
Hibbert, Baines, Osman, Jones 4 players 1 pt and Simpson rotten on the bench with 6. Beat that. Ha!!!!
Open Controls
Whats the deal with Tiote, is he definatley missing the QPR match? Any conformation? I see where he's flagged on the FPL site now, but I thought Pardew might try and keep him and Ba back as long as possible.
Open Controlstheyre gone bud, rules is rules
Open ControlsACON doesn't kick off until Jan 21st. Rules say that players can be recalled 14 days proir, not that they MUST be.
Open Controls
that's right. anything can be agreed upon within that 14 day window but with a cup match next I think he'll be gone before next prem. game
Open Controlsthink you both misunderstand
national sides CAN demand players release 14 days before and so do
clubs can only begOpen ControlsI dont think either of us misunderstand. We know they can call up players 14 days beforehand. The question is whether clubs have come to arrangements with national teams that would allow players to stay in prem. a little later.
Open Controls
What's up with Drenthe?? Really hoping he doesn't play against Spurs so Silva can come off my bench!
Open Controls
Krul – Vorm
Caulker – Evans – Simpson – Naylor – McAuley
Nani – Bale – Silva – Gerard – Mata
RVP – Yak – Long
I just love that midfield but worry about the rest….thoughts?Open Controls
yeh ur team is pretty centre heavy...get rid of gerrard to a cheap 4.5 ish mid and upgrade Long...may I suggest sturridge and then get someone in the back like komps/richards....or even clichy (although may get rotated) instead of mcauley, city are gonna get have a good run of fixtures
Open Controls
Morison would be better than Long and the 0.6 saved should be spent to upgrade your defence.
Open Controls
Just played wilcard and this is the result
Vorm, Sorensen
Brown, Kompany, Senderos, Naylor, Shotton
Valencia, Bale, Silva, Sessegnon, Dempsey
Rvp, Aguero, Yakubu
I'm reasonably happy but what do ye think?Open ControlsI'd go for Sturridge or Ade over Aguero and then upgrade some of your defence. Also, Richards over Kompany to save money?
Open Controlsi was looking at agueros fixtures and they are very appealing. I just sold sturridge and ade but i can always go back. I'll probably stick with kompany because he rarely gets injured and he has a big goal threat
Open Controlskompany plays every match - thats the correct choice in that regard
Open Controls
?marks over: Valencia (playing rb now) and shotton, maybe downgrade to cabaye/dyer/moses or similar and upgrade shotton to a decent defend (jones could be an option despite his OG if u can afford)
Open Controlsi think valencia will move back up to the wing when smalling comes back and that should be next week
Open Controlswhat about when Young is back?
Nani might have had a poor couple of games but he shouldnt be scapegoated
and he is the best winger in the squad overallOpen Controls
his own goal and the way he was bullied both increases Evans value and strangely Jones' too - because he is far more likely to be pushed into midfield regularly now
Open Controls
bit early
shotton, senderos, brown and vakencia might well find themselves regularly hitting the pine in a couple of weeks, depends how the worm turnsOpen Controls
So folks:
Nani Vs Valencia
Sturridge Vs Mata
Jones Vs Evans
Sessegnon Vs Larsson
Aguero Vs Rooney
Richards Vs Kompany
Too many decisions!Open ControlsI don't see when I'm gonna get a chance to use my WC, can you? any suggestions extremely welcome
| Krul | | Vorm |
| Evans | | Richards | | BAE | | Simpson | | Caulker |

0.0 in the bankOpen Controls
So, 51 points this week with Robin as captain (i should have put Bale, this sucks)
Who for Ba?. 0.6 in bank. I have money enough to bring Sturridge, is that a good idea?
Vorm
Jones, Caulker, Kompany, Vermaelen, Shotton
Nani, Bale, Silva, Walters, Allen
Morison Ba Robin
So:
Sturridge in, Ba out
Van der vaart in, Nani out
?Open Controlssturridge for ba makes sense, leave nani for next gw. Bale should cover u...man u should come good again (then again thats what i said this week after blackburn win)

My roommate. I admire him. No RVP, Kun and Rooney whole season and he beats meOpen Controls
Roommate? Why are you sharing a room?
Open ControlsHe's had Ba quite early on. Just shows what a massive season Ba's had and he's punching his weight with the traditional big hitters. My biggest mistake is not jumping on the Ba-ndwagon 🙁
Open Controls
anyone still have faith in the no longer so invincible lingegaard
Open Controlsmore faith than before the game
completely blamesless for every goal and his selection was based on De Gea being dropped NOT rotatedOpen Controls
Have two draft WC teams in mind:
Krul Mignolet
Komp Raylor Shotton Richards Caulker
Donovan VDV Moses Bale Valencia
Adebayor Aguero RVP
or
Krul Mignolet
Komp Raylor Shotton Caulker McAuley
Silva Dempsey Moses Bale Valencia
Adebayor Aguero RVP
Which team would you prefer?Open Controls
iam doing the old richards kompany silva combo with cheese
Open Controlscitys defence has been exceptionalyy good the last 5 GW, the forst 15 it was leaky
BEWAREOpen Controls
take a look at my private league please: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-leagues/351244/standings/
I'm the guy on top and this is the final GW before we dish out prize money and restart until the end of season. Do you think I'll hold onto my lead? I'm extremely nervous right now. As long as my rival doesn't outscore me by more than 17 pts, I think I'm ok but at the moment he looks very likely to overcome that margin 🙁Open ControlsThe Farrelly league. Could be tight you might hold out just
Open Controls
53 points with 4 to play (assuming osman plays next game)
Is that good for this week?Open Controls
Yeah mate, I had 37 with 4 to play one a captain.
Open Controls
"One-week-punt-only"
J Evans (Bolton home)....would be doubling up with P Jones
Cabaye (QPR home)
......what ya think? Quick vote appreciated, thanksOpen Controlscabaye may score a blank it's def feels a bit bandwagonish and in need of consistency, evans should get the cleanie....
who do u have atm instead of cabayeOpen ControlsIt would be Drenthe to Cabaye for 1 week only.
Funny I asked before tonites match and ev1 said EvansOpen Controls
I'd prefer doubling up on toon defenders than Utd ones, at the mo.
Open ControlsI know what u maen. But it's a 1 eek deal only bfore WC
Open Controls
Feel like a boxer staggering about the ring in the 7th round after the last few gameweeks. All I can think about is the stool and magic sponge.
Open ControlsJust have to say that this DGW so far has been a*se! That is all.
Open ControlsPretty much 😀
Open Controls
Play Simpson above Walters next week although Krul is already in, yeah?
Open Controls
i've exactly the same dilemma ... with Krul in goals it's safer to go with Walters i would say
Open Controls
So, anyone changed your plan and play WC this week ?
I'm considering it now too... 🙁Open ControlsTempted, but looking at my team for next week I'll leave it. Although I'm tired of waiting for Chelsea to run riot, and it sure ain't gonna come against a newly ignited Sunderland...
Open Controls
no comments on my request, can i try again with any luck...please this time?
I don’t see when I’m gonna get a chance to use my WC, can you? any suggestions extremely welcome

| Evans | | Richards | | BAE | | Simpson | | Caulker |

0.0 in the bankOpen ControlsI can field this team next week. 9 players at home. Is it right that I shouldn't play WC yet? So frustrating with the worst ever two weeks in a row.. 😡
Krul
Enrique - Jones - Simpson - BAE
Silva - Nani - Bale -
RvP - Ade - Sturridge
Sub: Krul ; Osman, Dyer, JagielkaOpen ControlsDon't do it. I have exactly the same starting XI except Mata for Silva. GW22 at the earliest, I say.
Open ControlsIt is the same as mine pretty much. Am going to play what looks like a good team and WC as planned in wk 22. Using WC now would be a big kneejerk but I know your frustration
Open Controls
I see you have the Krul twins in your team.
Nah, it's a decent team and I wouldn't bother WCing yet. Probably better to wait and see what happens in the transfer window first.Open Controls
How is this for WC?Any suggestions welcome
Stockdale,Vorm
Taylor,Kompany,BAE,Caulker,Simpson
Silva,Dempsey,Bale,Sess,Walters
RVP,Sturridge,AgueroOpen Controls
Best move with me freebie this week? Ramsey ->
a) Dempsey
PROs: good fixtures up to my GW24 wildcard and OOP.
CONs: Zamora being back may push him out wide. Fairly expensive
b) Yaya Toure
PROs: Nailed on starter for best attacking team in the league. Playing Wigan next game.
CONs: Not as attacking as Dempsey
Westwood, Ruddy
BAE, JEvans, Simpson, Caulker, Wilko
Nani, Bale, Sinclair, Ramsey, Reo-Coker
RVP, Rooney, Adebayor
