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…
Any suggestion for my WCT ?
Vorm (Ruddy)
BAE, Simpson, Clichy (Caulker, Kelly)
Nani, Silva, Bale, Sessegnon (Moses)
Yak, Aguero, RVPOpen Controls
Not a fan of Clichy and I think Yak will fade. Otherwise pretty good.
Anyway you can upgrade to Richards?Open Controls
Thoughts for the wild card (and next season). I suffered badly at the start of the season by not bringing any man utd players due to their terrible run of fixtures. I carried through my well thought out pre-season plan of wildcarding in their players GW12 when their fixtures changed. By which time I was 150 points behind in the league!
Saying that, i still think that my original strategy was correct, it was just a fluke the way man utd came out of the block (this is shown with their current form!). I think my major mistake was not recognising their hot run of form earlier enough. I should really have transferred in a red hot Rooney et al against an Arsenal team in defensive disarray.
For others who did the same as me (I know I wasn't the only one). Would you do the same next season? I ask, because Man utd have a bad run of fixtures AND bad form when i plan to wild card and spurs have a bad run of fixtures BUT good form. So i'm thinking of no man utd and 1-2 spurs in my wild card team.
Thoughts?Open Controls
I think it is a good idea to recognise that United could turn it on against anyone. The could have a bad game against the lowest team in the league then beat one of the best. They are so unpredictable that it is almost not worth considering their fixtures. They are a team which is probably best based on a gut feeling as to whether you think they have hit form or not
Open Controls
Yes I think your strategy was correct. As far as I have noticed, there are a couple of teams at the begining of the season that just click! Remember last year Che? Malouda Cole and Drogba the first weeks were having a party.
the thing is to spot that team, or those particular players, and get them in.
Regarding Spurs after WC, I think that I will keep Bale only, due to his form. Vaart is too inconsistent, he always is in his 2nd year at a club. Ade is not excactly a Spurs player, being on loan... so I will have only Bale.
My plan after GW 22 goes like this: I will have cheapie defence (bar Kompany), relatively cheapie mids (bar Silva and Bale) and upfront RVP, Sturridge, Ade. I will have some money in the bank saved so I could use at the first sight.
Also, a question, has anyone noticed that December aproaching, the defenders start scoring more points? At the begining of the season, they hardly kept cs.Open Controls
What are people's thoughts on JEvans? Likely to play this GW vs BOL? If not I may well get rid...
Open Controls
get rid.. he is useless
Open ControlsHe will play. Jones and Rio weren't exactly class against Newcastle. I think they actually miss JEvans
Open Controls
Without Vidic this defense will struggle all year unless Smalling and Jones start playing well alongside each other. Expect to see more of Valencia at RB for now and Evans will still be a spot starter imo - he's a liability back there.
Open ControlsHe looked good before he was injured. Personally I would prefer Evans, Smalling and Rio at CB. Jones ran away too much leaving Rio alone at the back. Jones is too much of a Luiz to be a CB imo. He is much better at RB or maybe in midfield
Open ControlsRio just doesn't have the legs though. The need a couple of strong players int he middle and if Jones can't hack it there, they'll be in trouble. I think we've expected that def. to come good because it's Man U. but I don't think it will for a while.

3 personal tips to success in FPL :
#1) Patience - When you buy a player keep him for a while. Likely he will return points at some point
#2) Dont take a point hit - Never Ever take a point hit
#3) Good Defense - invest in good defenders .. a good defence is the foundation of a title winning teamOpen Controls
Rubbish 🙄
Open Controlsyou broke my heart 🙁
Open Controls
Good tips, this year Castle, Swans, City and Pool are the teams to invest in def imho
Open Controlsyup... BAE, ENRIQUE, KOMPANY, TAYLOR R/SIMPSON, SWA DEFENSE
all solidOpen Controls
Did you think of them in prison? 🙄
Open Controlsno while i did CALTRANS hard community labor ... which is worse than prison 😛
Open Controls
Surely you're looking to get rid on WC?
Open Controls
Number 2 is silly imo - also your team needs to move with fixtures.
Open ControlsThey are all silly.
Open Controlsworking for me this year 🙂 ranked improved a lot from last year and also #1 in my big mini-league
Open ControlsIt's 99% luck, that is all.
Open Controlsnot true at all...there is luck involve but not 99%.. a person with no knowledge of futball will not succeed in FPL... there are a lot of other factors too like keeping on top of fixtures, injuries, etc..
Open ControlsWhat I meant was for the people on here, it takes knowledge to an extent and then from there it is luck, there are no 'rules' you need to follow..

WC team: Any comments:
Vorm, Krul(N)
Walker, Enrique, Richards, cahill(N), Mc auley
Bale, Nani, sess(N), Dempsey(N), Cabaye (N)
Sturidge (N), Aguero (N), Odem (N)
(N) means new additions..Open Controls
Nice to see Krul love back.
Cahill smacks a little of kneejerkery to me.
No Silvastreak means questions have to be asked.
Ade, RVP and Aguero are needed up front.
Rating: 5/10. Go with your gut rather than last nights results 😉Open Controls
Interesting squad. Surprised you can afford that team. 😕
But are you going to bench a 6 mil+ mid every GW? Downgrade Cabaye to Moses/McClean & Cahill to Shotton and upgrade Sess to Mata.Open Controls
any Chelsea fan here?
Will Sturridge play CF next week? who will their forwards while Drogba & Kalou off to CAN?Open Controls
Jack, what's your WC midfield looking like? Saw you got rid of Nani, which has piqued my curiosity...
Open ControlsSame as now but either Dempsey or Valencia for Nani.
And maybe McClean for Moses if I need the extra 0.2Open ControlsI see... extremely tempted to give him the heave-ho myself. A lot of funds tied up in a current non-performer.
Would have no United cover if I do though, which is the main thing stopping me at this stage 😕Open ControlsThat's why I'm stuck between Valencia and Dempsey, with Smalling, Evans etc due back next game he will be back in the midfield and should start the majority of games.
It's mainly to free up cash for Aguero and Richards, so unless you need the cash I'd leave him in there.Open Controls
Auzzers turning the screw on gentle India in Melbourne.
2 boni for Silvastreak would be a bonu.
So EVE fail to deliver. Still another game to go. Heads up. 🙂Open Controls
What part of double gameweek dont people understand????????????
All these people moaning about their scores , what do they expect? Everton players usually do badly anyway , like i said a few weeks ago 2+2 =4
As for Tottenham still a game to go , far to early for Ade captainers to say they should of gone Bale , things can quickly changeOpen ControlsMy wild card team:
Vorm , Al
santon, richards, skrtel, Mc auley, Taylor
Bale, Ramires, Milner, Dempsey,Valencia
Rooney, Aguero, Sturidge
Done!! Hopefully i will have a good 2nd half....Open ControlsI can get RVP only by selling Rooney and downgrading Milner/Ramires to Cabaye or cabaye...
It has be either RVP or Rooney... I have tried to get a balanced team here, picking important & consistent player from each team.. doesnt look perfect for all gws, but its decent i guess. I want to RVP & silva but how....Open Controls
Selling Silva & Ba for Osman & Adebayor not really panned out then. 🙁
Open ControlsDitto 🙁

Had a crappy week too. 3 everton players giving me a point each. And jones with a -2!!! guess who's getting transfered come WC week!
Open Controls0.025 points per mil $
Open ControlsMerci.
Open Controls
Bonus soon?
Open ControlsLooks like Linde Gas is first-choice now. Thoughts? Why else would De Gea be benched against New (A)
Open Controls
Contemplating using my WC now, considering that I'm able to come up with a team that I'm happy with. Would appreciate your thoughts:
Guzan* Sorensen
Kompany, Enrique, Senderos*, Williamson*, Caulker*
Silva, Nani, Bale, Dempsey*, McClean*
RVP, Adebayor, Sturridge
*new additions
Conversely, I could have Lindegaard for Guzan, or switch Dempsey and Sturridge for Mata and Zamora so that I have 0.6 to bring in Given for Guzan when required. All actions go, or wait longer for possible bargains?Open Controls
i think you've got it right with dempsey and sturridge
Open Controls
GW 12 I transfered in Bendy and Drenthe for a hit. Drenthe has remained in my team ever since. Probably my worst ever transfer in the history of me doing this game...
My knee jerked big time but I learnt a valuable lesson.Open Controls
you are probably praying and fasting for Drenthe not to recover so you can have Dyer come in off the bench
hahaOpen Controls
So everyone's thinking it, who's the replacement for Ba? Sturridge?
Open Controlswhy, thank you:D

First time caller, long time listener here. I've tried a bit of searching, but can't find how to link my team. Sorry to ask cos I'm probably the millionth newbie to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Guys I can't find the wildcard button. Is the button supposed to be at the same place as the first one?
Open Controlsi think it only gives that option once you make lots of changes to your team. a message is shown on the scree like:
"you're making a lot of changes, are you sure you don't want to use your wildcard?"Open Controls
It's usually just north of the v*gina. If you still can't find it could you post a picture?

Decent condition, still fetching a good price. I reckon you might find someone to take it off your hands.
I actually acquired a similar model not long time ago, so personally I am not looking for another at this point in time.
I must add I am not convinced with its performance. Still it does not work any worse than similar machinery with claret and blue finishing.
Nice to know I am not the only one in this city playing, by the wayOpen Controls
double gameweek = double frustration and double thinking like "why did i even bother?"
Open Controls
What a load of old cock! Nani, Jones and Drenthe returning a total of diddly squat. Now I am hoping Drenthe remains ill for at least another week so Ward can step off my bench for 7 pts.
I was expecting a festive shedload of points, but unfortunately Fantasy Santa shat in my Christmas stocking and his elves jizzed all over my mince pies. Humbug!Open ControlsOne must let off steam somehow. I am sure you have heard worse in the valleys.
