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…
Doing my wildcard and need some advice please. Which pair are better from:
Sturridge and Moses
Or
Yakubu and RamseyOpen Controls
What's the general concensus about the BPs? They gonna be out today, or we gotta wait until next week? Hopefully not the latter :/
Open Controls
I'd like to know this too.
Open Controls
..you benching him for a month?
LOLOpen Controls
Protection starts when yellow/red status ends
Open Controls
Fall in price assuming people transfer out. Wish I'd kept him these final few weeks!!
Open Controls
Fall
Open Controls
Baps out at around 10 that is all
Open ControlsWill Ade be allowed to play vs Man City in 2 weeks time?
Open Controls
No, he won't.
Happy New Year, by the way.Open ControlsCool, thought so. Perfect. That look like my WC week....time to cut him loose.
Happy 2012 to you as well.Open Controls
I am guessing no... he is a loaned player from Man City - therefore he is not eligible to play
Open Controls
WC Team:
Vorm | Ruddy
BAE | Jones | Kompany | Brown | Simpson
Bale | Dempsey | Sessegnon | Cabaye | Valencia
RVP | Yakubu | Aguero

Like it
Open Controls
Anyone cocerned about RTaylor playing time now with Santon?
Can't see him holding down a midfield slot against anyone outside the top 6 when they may need wingers playing?Open ControlsAny1 getting Hernandez?? Considering for Ade
Open Controlsthe only one player I would consider is Berbetov but even he was off last night... then again so was the entire team...
Hernandez plays better as a lone striker imo... with Rooney behind him... with Berbetov he seems to be quiet...Open Controls
Had him before he got injured and he was doing great but doesn't seem right since he came back. Would wait a bit to see if he gets back in form. I'm seriously considering either Morrison or Fletcher.
Open Controls
Fletcher has tough fixtures, so does Morision, but then again they have both shown they can score against anyone
Open Controls
I wonder if all these RMWCTs containing Lindegaard are having second thoughts after last night?
He wasn't at fault personally, but United do not look solid without Vidic.Open Controls
I dont like that combo, why?
1) Lindegaard CS, Vorm CS --> Lindegaard is a waste money
2) Lindegaard not CS, Vorm CS (like this week) --> terrible
3) Lindegaard CS, Vorm not CS (ok, good), but you need many luck to get that, unless you will face the first option. (Linde CS, Vorm CS too)Open Controls
Your not going to play Vorm ahead of Lindegaard every week tho.
Open Controls
You always get those three options with any goalkeeper combination, though.
I think people are proposing this combo primarily because it's cheap, and it includes a top 4 team goalkeeper. And up until yesterday Lindegaard had a pretty impressive CS record (it's not bad even if you do include yesterday)Open Controls
WC team:
Vorm, Hennessey
Koscielney, Senderos, Enrique, Simpson, De Leat
Bale, Dempsey, Walters, Sessegnon, Nani
RVP, Adebayor, Yakubu
Need to play WC this week as loaded up on Spurs / Eve players for the DGW.
Plan is to move Nani out for Yaya when he returns from ACN. This will free up space for Yak -> Ba and hopefully improve my defence.
Major concern with above is transferring out Sturridge – who I got have at a value of £7.1m – for Yak. Would I be better moving out Adebayor who I have at a value of £8.9 for improvements elsewhere?
Would welcome team feedback and thoughts on transfer plans.Open Controls
everton have villa away where a 2nd string swansea team won and spurs have wolves at home. no need to use it this week for that reason
Open Controls
disagree totally..........Evertonians need to be shipped immediately they are shite, especially if you have injured or Drenthe like players in there..............I would keep Sturridge, Drogba is a gonner, Torres is shite, decent fixtures and cheap as chips.........
Open ControlsSo ultimately the choice is Sturridge or Adebayor? Either that or don't bring in RVP (whose ICT stats are still way out ahead of most) and stick with my front line of Ade, Sturr and Ba->?
I have three Spurs (VDV, Ade, BAE) and two Everton (Baines & Osman).
Naturally I am less concerned about Spurs but Everton worry me (although until last night they looked to be turning a corner).Open Controls
G-g-g-granville around? I feel kind of lucky being up against him this week in the FFS H2H. You are a better player than me, and I really needed to meet you a week where you were this unfortunate.
Open Controls
I'm here.
Thanks for the confidence boost mate, but I can also blame myself for making bad choices. I've really had stinkers last 2 weeks.
7 points ahead 2 weeks ago and now it's closed up again to 1 point.Open ControlsKomarac is trailing in his game, so it looks like it's a two-horse race this year! 😉 Good luck for the rest of the season, mate.
By the way; since you are one of the writers her you might know; is our league the 5th? How many teams get promoted? Or is that even possible...?Open ControlsCheers you too. I'm on a roll of 3 consecutive defeats.
I think it's 6 teams that get promoted.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/10/09/scout-league-update-october-2/Open ControlsCheers mate. And cheers for the good work you guys are doing on this site.
Although my season looks like ending worse than last year, it's been fun, and I've found a lot of help on this forum and as a member.
Good luck!Open Controls
Thanks for that, I got moist around the tip then you bugger!
Open Controls
Well this year has been a nightmare everyone else was lucky to have Rooney in the first few weeks, everyone was lucky to transfer Demba Ba in before he went on his streak, all these dead players are so lucky to get good points when I have loaded up on double gameweek players, I am having no fun in this game any more, I am going to pack it in this year because my opponent who doesn't take it as seriously as me just gets lucky and doesnt touch his team from week to week and has a rubbish team value of 99.6...................................
....................JUST SHUT THE FOOK UP AND GET ON WITH IT YOU FAGGGOTS!!!!!!!Open Controls
technically, this year is only 5 days old and only 12 games have been played.....
Open ControlsLol
Open Controls
+1... so lame.
Open Controlslol! Just take the positives, and consider the negatives. I for one have learned a hell of a lot, mainly through this webiste. Main point, trust your gut, and don't make last second changes. Bitten me half a dozen times that has. Not any more!
This game is my football manager. My wife banned FM from me, as I became addicted and obsessed. Little does she know now ha!Open Controls
Can everyone please stop crying about how "terrible" this game has become! Every weekend isn't going to go to script, suck it up and let the casuals think they're doing it right when they will always fail long term!
Open Controls
technically, this gameweek wasn't on a weekend.
Open Controls+1. so sexy 😆
Open Controls
I could bet there are some 60% of the casuals in the top 100k.......just saying.
Open Controls+1
Open Controls+ 1
Open ControlsNice to see your boys eventually scored mate!
Open Controls
Very true, its like poker, every now and again the novice will stay in the hand and win on the river card but often we give those wins too much emphasis, in truth, the better player wins the most hands. That is also true of fpl.
Open Controlsexactly. play the odds and you will win most times.
Open Controls
The donkeys sure are hitting a lot of rivers this season though.
Open Controls
And the gameweek isn't over.
Most people have 3+ players left inlcuding captain which could be glorious.Open Controls
Best defender for 5m or less? Not Newc, Swan, Sund or city, don't want to double up.
All opinions welcome...Open ControlsSenderos.
Open ControlsWill he play regularly tho?
Open Controls
kelly and use the money to upgrade somewhere else
Open ControlsKelly is not a regular....
Open Controls
Warnock
Open Controls
Half way through my first taste of DGW and regretting the decision to take a 4pt hit to bring in Jags & Drenthe and to top it off i decided to bench BA! Why did nt i listen to all the no everton coverage comments?
Bench currently: Vorm 5pts, Ba 12pts, Simpson 6pts Caulker 5pts.
By far the most frustrating week in my debut FPL season. Gotta resist the urge to WC now!Open ControlsYes. With Ade, VDV and Bale (c), I hardly want a cleanie from jags next game. I'll be happy for him to concede about 10... I wonder what that would give him as a score 🙂
Open Controls
Anyone thinking Torres for 3 weeks?? Anyone?! 🙂
Open ControlsNot even his mum...
Open ControlsDon't you remember the Mannioni debacle earlier in the season when he captained FT.
He scored early in the game and we all thought he was a genius.
Moments later he was returned to mere mortal as FT got himself sent off.Open ControlsLightning doesn't strike twice does it? 🙂
Open Controls
Anyone concerned about RTaylor's playing time now with Santon?
Can’t see him holding down a midfield slot against anyone outside the top 6 when they may need wingers playing?Open Controls
If I get beat in the cup this week, I deserve to be shot; only problem is that I did nothing f'n wrong! 👿
Open ControlsSome would argue taking a hit to get Everton players in was wrong.
Open ControlsHaving said that, i wouldnt worry about it, you will sail through.
Open ControlsWouln't have had 11 playing if i didn't do Evans -> Baines before deadline. Had done Walker and Osman as my 2 FT's earlier in the week.
Open ControlsThats Ferguson for you. I just cant understsnd why people have him.
Open Controls
cry me a wildcard! 😉
Open Controls
Anyone doing worse than me this gameweek? On 24 points after a 4 point hit....
Open Controlsohh, even I can't top that, though im not far behind.
Open ControlsStill got a few to play though!
Oh and, Vermaelen still managed to beat Jones without playing, brilliant 😆Open ControlsOuch.
Is that including the 4 pt hit? I am on 41 with an 8 pt hit i.e. 33 points.
Walters, Evans and Brown > Osman, Hibbert and BAE has currently resulted in only 2 less points for me than I would have had without the changesOpen ControlsYeah including the 4 point hit, on 28 points.
I knew Everton were bad, but I thought they might grab a goal or two against Bolton with Bogdan between the sticks.
Mata, Vorm, Naylor> T.Cahill, Friedel, Jagielka. 14>8-4 point hit. Friedel, Tim and Jags need 10 points for me to break even. I don't think I'll be making another 4 point hit for a while.Open ControlsUnlucky mate. The least I was expecting from my two Everton players last night was 4 points but came away with 2 altogether.
The rest of my original reply disappeared. I actually said my calculations were f*cked though as it doesn't take into account I could have just played Simpson and Naylor (on my bench) instead of Evans and Brown and/or made the BAE move for free.
Shoulda woulda coulda.Open Controls
29 after a 4 pt hit ... even with Tim Howard scoring.
Oh well, at least I was right behind that Cabaye free kick last night 🙂Open ControlsRight behind it? Way back in the Stretford End? Unlucky mate 😛
Open Controls
I'm on 24 after a 4 point hit too. Its what the cool kids are doing
Open Controls
Pretty sad story here too!
33 with 3 tot & 1 eve to go.Open Controls
Tim Howard scored a goal? what da...
Open ControlsWhats that a RMWCT?
Vorm Krul
Richards, Raylor, BAE, Enrique, McAuley
Sess, Moses, Bale, Silva, Dempsey
Aguero, RVP, Sturridge
Got 0.2 spare with that, and ideally would use it for GW22. My biggest concern is dropping Ade, I've had him since the Halcyon days of 8.0m, so am a little reluctant to let go.Open Controls
Any suggestions for my WC team?
Vorm (Mignolet)
Kompany R.Taylor BAE / McAuley Kelly
Silva Bale Nani Sessegnon / Moses
RvP Aguero Yakubu
0.4 in the bank.Open Controls
