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.

    Is bassong a good short-term shout for spurs defence with gallas+king both out, and dawson slowly making it back to fitness??

    And Yay or Nay to Lindegaard to rotate with Vorm regardless of todays performace where i think he was left out to dry by his team.

    ok done with WC team with couple of risky bets thrown there:
    Ruddy- mignolet
    Enrique williamson mcauley - kelly caulker
    nani gerrard bale donovan - derry
    aguero caroll rvp

    basically if gerrard and carroll work it out, then im on for a very good 2nd half of season with 2 differentials
    if not, my team is dead and buried

          it was a freak goal - normal long freekick from own half, and bounce took it past keeper who was only 6 yards out...

          it was a very lucky goal... + it was very windy... could have deceived Bogdan's judgement

    You spend all this time planning and seeing other teams with no DGW'ers in their teams, expecting to kick on and then you just watch them all past you by.....

    27 measley points so far with the absolute waste of space Drenthe lying in my team with a probable 11 points from Dyer sitting 2nd on my bench.

    Couple of quick questions for you morning lot if you would be so kind.

    1. Please take a look at my team and tell me would you WC now or not? My initial thoughts are that I can just swap Ba out. Would like to avoid point hits if possible. Team link in user name.

    2. Would you consider a 120 point game insurmountable at this point in the season? I'm thinking no and will continue to push but not making head way right now.

      I pulled back a 70 point game back to 20 in the space of 2 weeks, only then for the shambles that has been this double gameweek only for it to go back up to 70 again.

      Remind me why I play this game again?

      no i think you are good for now. looks like a good team. who are you even planning on bringing in with your wc? because all around I think its a good team. just swap ba out i'd say, for who thats up to you. probably sturridge though

        It was more a confirmation of my own thoughts really. My defence is a bit shocking and I think its hurting me right now. Really no idea who to bring in for Ba yet, probably gonna wait and see if anyone springs to mind. Sturridge seems like a good default choice.

      Yes, but only a tiny minority of the 2 point whatever million registered take it seriously.

      Worth reminding yourself from time to time.

    Gonna need around 20 points from my 4 DGW'ers next week including Ade (C) to get through my cup round.

    I've had 3 poor FPL GWs really, WC should shake things up..

    Was thinking Drenthe > Valencia for GW21, but really don't want an 8m MU defender who doesn't get clean sheet points 🙁 Reckon he'll move back into midfield if Evans is fit? Any other mids worth of consideration for 8.2m or under? Gutted I can't afford Dempsey really.

    Morning All,

    My team:

    Krul, Vorm
    Enrique, Evans, BAE, Caulker, Warnock
    Walcott, Nani, Bale, Walters, Dyer
    RVP, Ba, Adebayor

    My question:

    Should I use my transfer this week to just remove Ba, and save my wildcard for a better future date (when?), or should I just WC now and get all the squad tweaks I want done and dusted?

      I only watched the first 15 or so minutes before switching to the New/Utd game, but even in that time Baines knocked some great crosses in to the penalty area. How did he look for the rest of the game?
