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…
I think this GW let us all come to a couple of conclusions:
1) Ba is a season keeper at his price. Too bad he'll be missed for African cup but I'll get him back in the moment he comes back regardless of his fixtures.
2) ATM its stupid to invest in expensive ManU defense and more stupid to invest in Rooney until he scores big for 3 consecutive matches at least.
3) ManUs defense is so weak for them to be playing an open game. Last time they were humiliated like this, they went into 1-0 wins mode which is a good thing for those wanting invest in defenseOpen Controls
"ATM its stupid to invest in expensive ManU defense"
"which is a good thing for those wanting invest in defense"
Interesting.Open Controls
you again!GRRR
Open ControlsEvans and Smalling are still ashout if manU go into 1-0 mode but jones is very expensive especially when City has good fixtures coming up

ur name says everyting about you bro
i agree with everything u saidOpen Controlsi assume u are talking about me fellow interista
Open Controls
who's a better shout over the next few weeks, cabaye or murphy?
Open Controls
ive been monitoring cabaye for a while because of wc timing with newcastle fixtures and ba's absence. you know what you get with murphy. cabaye has more upside to return a double digit score IMO. it can be argued ba's absence will impact newcastles' scoring, im sure it will. but someone has to make up for SOME of his scoring.

I have 19 points just lying to waste on the bench. Caulker,Dyer & Simpson.
Anybody doing worse?Open Controls
Hi guys,
Which WC team looks best?
A)
Lindegaard (Vorm)
Enrique, Caulker, KOMPANY, CAHILL, SIMPSON
Silva, Nani, Bale, MOSES/MCCLEAN, WALTERS
RVP, Sturridge, Aguero
B)
Lindegaard (Vorm)
Enrique, Caulker, RICHARDS, JONES, SHOTTON
Silva, Nani, Bale, SURMAN, SESSEGNON
RVP, Sturridge, Aguero
C)
Lindegaard (Vorm)
Enrique, Caulker, KOMPANY, EVANS, SIMPSON
Silva, Nani, Bale, MOSES/MCCLEAN, WALTERS
RVP, Sturridge, Aguero
cheers!Open ControlsI take it you are happy for Lindegaard to play only every now and again????
I now De Gay was dropped last night but... he paid 18m for the guy, he will play - SAF wont punish him for longer as he is only young and it will kill his confidence.
So as long as your happy with that - crack on !
PS - Team C, but I am not convinced on sturridge.Open ControlsThanks for the reply. Yeah, to be honest, i'd prefer Yak, but i feel like i need some chelsea coverage, and don't want Mata.
Open Controls
after yesterday's display, i think you need to rethink about Lindegaard
Open ControlsNot really, the whole team was abysmal, and Lindegaard wasnt at fault for any goals. He has hardly put a foot wrong when he's been given a chance. The only thing playing against him is De Gea's price-tag and the criticism Fergie would receive for benching him. United will tighten up, i'm sure (i hope).
I do have enough to upgrade Lindegaard, but i would be happy playing him knowing that he won't play a few games, i havent done very well when benching Vorm anyway... 🙂Open Controls
One of the most frustrating managers I have ever seen has to be David Moyes....
Open ControlsI agree. He stubbornly sticks to a rigid system of 5 across the midfield.
Open Controls
what is the probability of drenthe not featuring vs spurs? hoping he doesn't as i have dyer 1st sub!
Open Controlsits certainly possible. I only have enrique to come in, so will take a 5 minute cameo and pray for something at this point.
naturally i have 5 points plus 1 or 2 bonus from kelly sitting behind enrique. 🙁
but yeah, there really hasnt been any details AT ALL about drenthe's "sickness". Now Donovan's already up and running. Drenthe may make the bench, but even then, game situation would have to dictate his need. moyes just doesn't seem to be in any hurry to add a THREAT to the attack. Just rely on keepers for your goals then, genius.Open Controls
anybody sick of Nani and Jones and thinking they are taking up funds that can be better used elsewhere? They have Bolton at OT but u never know what happens with utd these days. I have both and I activated my WC and I'm thinking of getting Kompany or Richards back to my team instead of Jones and maybe downgrading Nani to a mid priced mid and upgrading Ba to Aguero. Utd's fixtures after Bolton are tough and city have decent ones coming. Any thoughts?
Open Controls
Thinking about switching Jones to Micah/Kompany, but wait for Nani after Bolton.
Open Controls
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.Open Controls
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 buriedOpen Controls
40 pts with etheringtons 5 pts from the bench and 5 still to play-my team
42 pts with walcotts 3 pts from the bench and 0 to play-opponents team
i like to play dead team in the cup whilst dgw....Open Controls
So who are people replacing ba with? Perhaps FFS should run a poll on the front page.

How did Howard score last night? Did not see the game...
Open Controls
freekick from outside his own pen box
Open ControlsWhat was the other keeper doing...?
Open Controlsit 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 judgementOpen ControlsBackpass from Distin
Other keeper was being BogdanOpen Controls
Wasn't a freekick I don't think - backpass by Distin (I think) - 102 yards, the goal, not the backpass.
Open Controls
with aplomb.

yep.
some unexpected and freaky goals last night....even Ngog scored!Open Controlsgood goal from an ex-Liverpool player!

Hello, does everything look OK with this WC team?
Lindegaard/Sorensen (Vorm)
Enrique, Kompany, Evans (Simpson, Caulker)
Nani, Silva, Bale, Walters (McClean/Moses)
RVP, Aguero, Sturridge
0.9 in the bank.
Is it worth trying to upgrade Evans to Jones and downgrade Simpson and McClean?
thanksOpen ControlsLooks good, not sorenson and maybe M Davies and Cahill over Enrique moses

Highest score in my mini league is 64pts. He had Krul, and Rooney(c).
LOLOpen Controls..and Ba.
I had Ba for his 34pts in 4 weeks. Pity I sold him prior to yesterday.Open Controls
who will rise/fall in price? thanks in advance
Open Controls
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.
I don't think I've ever had a worse two weeks FPL wise in my 5 years playing it. There is no fun element to this game anymore.Open Controls
If they're gonna play like this over Christmas, give them the time off and will all come back in Jan refreshed. It's been a complete joke

Note to self. Don't look forward to plan transfers, just follow the sheep. This game can really mess with your head.
Open Controls+1
Seriously, there will be no punts, no OOP players in my squad next season. Most transferred in is where I'm looking.Open ControlsThere is a guy in my league who doesn't know anything about football, doesn't support a team, probably can't even spell goal, yet the guy is 21,337th overall with 1112 points in total. All he does is follow transfers in and out.

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.Open Controls
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
Open ControlsIt 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.
Open Controls
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.
Open ControlsWith Evans and Smalling back by next GW he should be back in midfield.
Open Controls
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?Open ControlsBa to Yak looks good
Open Controls
After a dire time before last night i will take the 41 points i have with 5 to come..
Hoping Baines might get a little more luck on Wednesday.Open Controls
