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.

    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?

    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 🙁

    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

            I agree about Ramsey and Reo-Coker - they will both definitely be gone in GW24 when I wildcard (if they haven't already before then). May hold onto Sinclair as I'll likely play my 2nd wildcard in GW28 and he has plum fixtures 24-27.

        It could be worse - his -2 could be on the field keeping big points on the bench.

          I suppose that is the most logical option but he is fairly versatile Ginola thinks he is fab ..i suppose that makes him a luxury by association

          I have been holding out for HBA to come good for sooo long, I just think the manager doesn't like his style so chooses not to play him. The fact that Taylor played RM instead says it all really

    I just think Chelsea would not do much damage to the rising in confidence Sunderland and I would also want to preserve value for my next week WC.

      The Yak might be the best option as Gabby is out of form along with Villa and Bellamy isn't nailed on as Kuyt could play there.
