Our Player Projections in the Members Area have now been updated for the half-season period. These now offer our view on the predicted returns from Gameweek 21 to the end of the season, giving some further assistance for those still to play their January Fantasy Premier League wildcards.

These projections use various factors, including past performance and historical data, the difficulty of fixtures facing each player and current form. Members can sort the table by any of the data columns, including total points for the season, projected points from Gameweek 21 onwards and projected value based on these returns.

They will be updated leading up to the Gameweek 21 deadline this weekend, should any injury or transfers come to light – the only pending transfer currently included in the tables is Gary Cahill’s seemingly inevitable move to Stamford Bridge. Just to be clear, these projections won’t be updated after the Gameweeek 21 deadline. Much like the pre-season projections, they provide a snapshot view.

As mentioned earlier, half-season memberships are now available for just £10. This will give users access to these projections along with the Opta player and team statistics, the full season ticker and exclusive Members articles.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          It's pretty obvious that AVB doesn't rate him all that highly. Certainly not as highly as the people who watch him on MOTD once a week.

      He's playing right back at the end of the day. Although, he's done well recently when he's got trickier players to deal defensively his hauls will drastically reduce.

      Cobham is very suburban quite a long way from the nightlife of central London however a quite nice leafy rural area nonetheless Fulham on the other hand is very close to the centre of London, in an urban setting, but is one of the nicest areas around central London, very middle class, low crime rate good night life, amongst it in London as well as being away from the noise and crime. Depends on what you want, Cobham will provide you with a huge house, a nice rural community and a quiet life whereas Fulham will provide things i said above. There is no where better for people to grow up than London, a splendid city.

      Krul and Vorm still remains a very nice rotation with plenty of clean sheet opportunities. If that's what you have I strongly advise you stick with it.

      If Lindegaard remains in goal for a couple more games though I may reconsider but the trouble with him at the moment is he can leave you really unstuck if he doesn't play.

    TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE PLANING TO GET THE ROON KUN RVP COMBO:

    it is a quote, which i think is worth thinking about.

    CHILL PILL SAYS:

    I did that tactic of having all 3 for most of the season and trust me, its not worth it as the rest of your squad struggles, they don’t score hatricks every week, quite the opposite and its only worth doing if you move the armband between them, if you don’t then its a lot of money tied up when other strikers are of equal value at less cost.

    Think about it hard, gladly this wc has allowed me to reorganize and have a more balanced squad.

    In real football there is rotation and dips in form so you will need all players to pull their weight, real football has become a squad game recently, we need to adapt and not be so reliant on 3 or 4 players like the old days.

    I’ve done it this year, its not worth it, 2 will do, keep van Persie as he’s the strongest captain, swap Rooney and Aguero depending on form and fixtures.

      Valencia will regularly get an assist but he's not capable of the massive scores like Nani is, because he doesn't score as many.

        capability doesn't pay the rent.

        He's got two double figure scores in the past 7 games(ish). He might not have the ceiling Nani does but hes also 2 mil cheaper.

      I'd rather go for Valencia for the moment, due to the lower price tag and the form. Nani may get bigger returns, but I'm confident Valencia will deliver for the near future.

        To Mull - because Howard isn't back from the shock... after he earned that goal..

    If I play my WC now, does my team come into effect for 14th Jan fixtures?

    Disgusted that SSN have given a platform to Southern wide-boy Jerome Anderson to vent his biased opinions about Blackburn fans, Steve Kean and his own family on national tv. It wasn't even an interview, no questions about Keans results, qualifications to manage a prem team, Venky's methods and motives, his sons footballing capabilites or why he thinks Kean should still be in a job. He blamed everyone except himself and Kean and was not challenged on any answer, he even suggested the fans were actually not fans at all but people with hidden agendas! Disgraceful.

      Only got the end of his stint on SSN, but what I saw ties in exactly with what you're saying. Not very impressive stuff.
