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…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Fill in the blank for me please.

    5.0 to spend on a midfilder.
    Maybe Moses?

    Vorm - Ruddy
    Kelly S - Enrique - Jones - Caulker - Simpson
    ??? - Cabaye - Walters - Silva - Bale
    Sturridge - Van Persie - Aguero

    or should I stick with my double Sunderland midfield:

    McClean - Sessegnon - Walters - Silva - Bale

      I notice Murphy managed 2 goals and 3 assists in 5 matches in september but hasn't done much since. Is this because of a change-around in their line-up or is he just not really capable of maintaining that kind of form?

      Not sure about Agbon and Evans. Maybe consider switching Evans to Fulham's Kelly, Mata -> Walters/Sess and Agbon -> Morison?? You also may want to leave a bit more money in the bank to upgrade your strikeforce once the big guns start firing again.
      Good Luck and I hope this helps 🙂

        Thats a bit harsh. Most wc teams will look very similar but to be fair not many have morrison.

        One bit of advice. If youre playing 3-5-2 you need more good mids! Walters and Sess wont cut it. Maybe downgrade Aguero so you can rotate whoever you get in with morrison with morrison then and upgrade either walters or sess!

    Skrtel Richards Jones Simpson Caulker

    Bale Silva Valencia Sessagnon Moses

      didn't have a look at sess moses rotation, doesn't look good for next week so I may have to hold fire on this team...

      cabaye may be a better shout than sessagnon?

    Morning all.

    Wondering how best to spread my money in my WC team.

    I'm trying to decide between having one big striker (and two cheapies to rotate), with a big midfield and solid defence, and playing a 3-5-2 or 4-4-2.

    Or having two big strikers, and a solid midfield and defence, and playing a 4-3-3 (but this often leaves me with a generic team).

    Examples:

    TEAM A:

    Krul, Vorm
    GJohnson, Kompany, Assou-Ekotto (Evans, Kelly)
    Silva, Bale, Dempsey, Valencia, Walters
    RVP, Sturridge (Morison)

    TEAM B:

    Krul, Vorm
    Kompany, Assou-Ekotto, Evans (Simpson, Kelly)
    Silva, Bale, Valencia, Walters (Dyer)
    RVP, Aguero, Sturridge

    Any thoughts? Ta!

      I think in recent weeks it's proven that even cheap strikers can help to get the job done. I think having a big striker with the other two cheapies will allow to play around with your midfield and defense as it does frees up funds to allow upgrades to the midfield and defense of the team.

    My only hope this morning is that the Physios in Carrington walk in and say...

    "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him"

    And Nemanja the six million dollar man Vidic walks out on the pitch on Sunday. Forget Tom Cleverley, this is the man we most miss.

      Vidic is, in my opinion, the single most important player at United.

    My guess is bonus is coming out Monday morning, just like they would normally, except we have an extra monday in the gameweek, so 9/1 in the am is my guess.
