Swansea’s fine 3-2 win over Arsenal concludes the weekend action, leaving tomorrow evening’s clash between Wigan and City as the only unfinished business in the Gameweek. Time then, for us to extract the key statistics from our Members area and make a stab at the destination of the Fantasy Premier League bonus points…
Spent all week trying to decide between Ben Arfa and Cabaye-went with Cabaye and thought I'd got it right when I saw hba benched-
Of course he gets injured after 20mins...with hba on insteadOpen Controls
If it's any consolation, his injury didn't look bad. The challenge slid into the side of his foot, there was no twist or extension so fingers crossed just bruising.
Open Controls
I presume this has been done to deathtoday, so what is the overall consensus for a Yakubu replacement?
Morison or Fletcher?Open Controls
Anybody care to look at my team and give me your opinion as to whether this is a good WC week for me? My plan was to do it this week but now am not sure. I have the funds to do an Ade to Aguero xfer.
Open Controls
You dont need to WC imo. Surman and Simpson off the bench, you lucky git 😉
Open ControlsSurman was indeed a lucky break 🙂
Open Controls
i think you can hold out maybe aguero or roo in for ade and the expense of jones maybe
Open Controlsnot sure what you mean about Jones
Open Controls
Unanimous then. Thanks all.
Open Controls
Ade/Nani -> Aguero/Sess worth a 4pt hit? Trying to hold WC till the last week possible.
Krul/Vorm
Enrique/BAE/Evans/Kelly/Caulker
Silva/Nani/Dempsey/Walters/Bale
Sturrage/RVP/AdeOpen Controls
Sorry lost on bottom of page...
How nailed on is Silva to feature tomorrow? Need Dyer to come off the bench and salvage a crappy gameweek, unless Silva scores a hat-trick of course. Then I might not care so muchOpen Controls
Wc team help please
Vorm moreira
Huth clichy Enrique Simpson kelly
Valencia bale silva ses Walters
Rvp agyero morrisson
????Open Controlsget rid of moreira even if funds are tight id rather squeeze in ruddy
Open Controlsneither has moreira..i know what your trying but id rather have 15 starting players
Open Controls
Upgrade Moreira for sure to someone who actually plays. Go with a GK rotation. See http://premierleaguefantasy.blogspot.com/p/strength-of-schedule.html for team combinations for goals allowed .. I use Krul and Vorm myself. But with their prices higher now, might want to look at Schwarzer once he returns. Downgrade Walters or Ses to help with that.. possibly replacing with Moses for example or Dyer if you believe todays results were no fluke. Clichy is a rotation risk and therefore a terrible pick. Look to Kompany or Richards since even Kompany only misses one more EPL game.
Open ControlsUncle Sam thanks so much man very constructive.... As you can see I'm tight on funds...clichy actually has been rotated more than I thought ,I'll see if I can do what you propose cheers
Open ControlsCheck out Lindegard as well if you dont mind eating that spot for a United player. Also, Evans on Man U is a great low budget defender on a top squad. Good luck.
Open Controls
If this were your team for GW22 would you swap the pig for aguero?
Vorm
Santon, Shotton, Richards
Sess, Dempsey, Valencia, Bale
R Piggy, Studge, RVP
Ruddy, H Benarfa, Evans, BAE
always intended to go rooney - aguero but wazza looked up for it yesterday... Even the pen was well (ish) placedOpen Controls
Who do you think i should change from:
Valencia or Dempsey
to get:
Lampard
since i have the cash to do it??Open Controls
Don't get Lamps, not nailed on and expensive
Open Controls
before it gets asked to death
vorm or krul to play next gw?Open Controls
Who's more nailed on to start each week - Lindegaard or Evans ???
cheers.Open Controls
evans
Open Controls
It appears...neither. The feeling around here is that Evans will lose his spot to Smalling/Jones when they're healthy and Lindegaard has pretty tough fixtures coming up, not to mention De Gea rotation risk....
Open Controls
fergie won't play jones cb with ferdinand again so will probably be inclined to keep him at rb unaffecting evans. rio and chris play the same role in defence so if fit evans should start most games
Open ControlsCheers Knight, good insight...either way, United fixtures look to have no cleanies...would rather go for a United mid or forward.
Open Controls
Cheers for your replies ISACKI, MULL and USER. appreciate it
Open Controls
NP we're all in the same boat
Open Controls
Right. Who was it who convinced me not to put Paul Scholes in my team? Who was it who laughed at me and said there was more FPL value in Gibbo? WHO WAS WRONG? Come forward please and publicly apologise.
Open Controlsyou should apologise for not having the courage of your convictions, noone has a crystal ball mate 😉
Open ControlsI do. But it's constantly clouded by the misguidance and harsh words of those in my way. You're all out to get me. I get what's going on here.
Open ControlsIs this a parody?
Open Controls
Are you for real? 🙂 You rise and fall by your own decisions. That is the game. You are the manager, end of. Go with your gut feeling if you have doubts about other people's opinion. This is a game of chance, no one really knows what will happen each weekend, it is an educated guess.
Open Controls
he wont play every week, i still wouldnt get him
Open ControlsNot too fond of getting advice in the future are you?
Open Controls
They are both just out of temporary retirement, neither was a 'great' pick
Open ControlsYou want a pat on the back, fool? You got one. Now move along....
Open Controls
Krul (Vorm)
Senderos, Enrique, Huth (Evans, Caulker)
Dempsey, Sessegnon, Gerrard, Bale (Henry)
Sturridge, Rooney, RVP
Not quite sure what to use my one FT on... Should I just save it for next week?Open Controls
I'm on wc so tell me there no point to keep Ade for Wigan game?
Only worry is that looks like my rivals will wc at last week so they'll have Ade for that game....Open Controls
Can I ask why there are loads of people doing Vorm and Moreirea. Moreirea isn't even second keeper, Tremmel is, and even then why would you want 2 swansea keepers?
Open Controls
I assume its because Moreira is only 3.9 - he is the goalkeepers equivalent of Ferguson ad De Laet.
Open Controls
He is the cheapest keeper in the game and some can't stretch to a better keeper. I don't know why people want 2, their fixtures are not great.
Open Controls
Taking the "always play vorm" rule to the extreme.
Open Controls
Possibly one bap on the way. BONZA!
Yay me. Can't moan too much though, relatively decent week with a score of 51 (poss 52). Hoping for a dull 1-1 draw for Man City and Wigan, Rodellega for Wigan and Savic scoring for City would do.Open Controls
Atilla, do you think Raylor will keep his place in midfield? Or is Obertan just not fully fit?
Open ControlsGood win today Artilla! I see Guthrie got mom after you bigged him up!
I went with Cabaye after your advice about security of starts! Real shame that thug Derry ruined everything! U heard anything on his injury?Open Controls
Rooney debate resolved finally. I just got e-mail from FPL.
Dear Daniel,
We thank you for the interest in that game and the assists given to Rooney.
Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the last touch before the goal is scored.
If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given, except if this intervention directly results in an own goal.
The FPL committee had a meeting and reviewed both of the assists and made the following decision:
Both of the assists are gonna go to Gervinho in Monday morning. From previous experience we saw that this is best practice.
Regards,
FPLOpen Controls
not funny
ppl should stop be so jelaous at rooney
i can see anger when you guys figured out that both assists stays+bpsOpen ControlsB*stard 😀

Open Controls
VDV + Berbatov (week punt fail) ---> Chelsea player / Fulham Player.
Dempsey, Zamora, / Mata, Sturridge or Torres?Open Controls
I'd get Torres
If I wc this week I'll be doing it, Newc still good in defence
what about a punt on Bellamy?Open Controls
Daniel, can you please change the Ships post double GW league to start points scoring from gw21 otherwise Demi will wipe the floor with all us and poor old Doos won't turn up each week 😉
Cheers!Open Controls
Just played my wildcard....here is my team:
Vorm Sorensen
BAE Enrique Cahill Shotton Caulker
Valencia Bale Silva Nani McClean
RVP Aguero Sturridge
The changes decimated my team value to £108.9m (mainly from selling Ade & Jones) but do I have enough to finally break top 1k? Been hovering around 5k for a few weeks now.Open Controlsyes - 2nd highest scoring defender
Open Controls
aww poor you, hovering around 5k for weeks now? lol
Open ControlsStop worrying about your bank balance and start spending it. Look at Vorm's fixtures... he's not going to get you a clean sheet each week. Swansea had great home fixtures in the first half of the season.. they're now away games in the second.
Which team do you think has the best defence? Id say Citeh are probably up there... how about Hart or Lescott or Richards.
Make some moves to give you the edge. You're not losing money by selling the players that have risen. You're cashing in the profit.Open Controls
I'm on wc so could use your wisdom for couple of things, correct me if I wrong
a) Enrigue must go - only one goodish home game before gw30 - ShawX better choice.
b) Nani must go - He or Valencia can back to my time in gw28 if they can behave - Dempsey better choice.
Are you with me?Open ControlsYeah, that was all set before this weeks cleanie. Now I just might keep him and take Richards also, then rotate simpson & senderos.
Your thoughts on R.Taylor - is he worth his price? Can't / Don't want to get all three of Krul, Raylor and Simpson.Open Controls
a) It depends when you bought him. If you got him around the 5.3 mark then I would say he is tremendous value... If you got him recently then Huth or ShawX MIGHT be better value but I would still back Enrique to outscore them
b) Valencia is probably a better shout than Nani. Valencia is more consistent but Nani could explode at any moment... It's your decisionOpen Controls
Honest to god if Nathan Dyer was stood in front of me right now I'd be whipping his pants down quicker than you could say 10pts + bonus
Open Controlsyarp!
Open Controls
Longterm
A) Walters + Moses
or
B) Dempsey + McCleanOpen ControlsWalters + McClean?
Open Controls
Enrique and Krul predicted for 2 points each? Would love that though I suspect I'll be disappointed tomorrow morning.
Open Controls
+1.
Open Controls
havent wc'd yet but thinking of going for something like this
vorm,lindgaard
richards,vermalen,jones,simpson,shotton
silva,sess,walters,bale,dempsey
aguero,rvp,morrison
might have gerrard instead of silva if he shows any form in next couple of games
what you people think?Open Controls
Will Sturridge start next week guys? What do u think?
Open ControlsI think he will
Open Controls
Sturridge or Fletcher or Morison?
A) short term
B) medium term
C) long termOpen Controls
Drum roll please.......................
Sorensen, Lindegaard
Richards, Enrique, Raylor, Kelly, DeLaet
Nani(not giving up), Silva, Bale, Sessegnon, McClean
RVP, Aguero, Sturridge
9 players among season long points per game leaders at their positions who play virtually every game--
Richards(4.4), Enrique(3.9), Raylor(4.3), Nani(5.6), Silva(5.8), Bale(6.1), RVP(7.3), Aguero(6.4), Sturridge(5.6)--
will now play virtually every week along with Sessegnon(4.5) who has form and fixtures with him, and his PPG is only a tick behind the likes of Mata(4.6), and even with Dempsey and Valencia(4.5).
Lindegaard and sorensen rotate well for a while, and sorensen will be adequate should the lindegaard experiment fail. Gets my hands on stoke's home games and hopefully united CS.
Kelly--adequate defender sub, occasional starter
McClean--adequate attacking sub
De Laet--helps make this all possible..
a piece of city, pool and united defense. attacking coverage for utd, chelsea, tottenham, arsenal and double coverage for city who has the best fixtures of the bunch.
what am i leaving out? besides a page break.Open ControlsNani (c) is dead to me. Why not get Valencia and upgrade DeLaet.
Open Controlsnani is a zombie

Yes Yes Maybe-let's-seeOpen Controlsi admit my WC posts, like everyone else's is self-serving. Its so exciting though. BIg decisions to be made.
had santon in before instead of raylor but i cant ignore raylors attacking skillz.Open ControlsRaylor is getting too many assists for me to ignore him anymore tbh. It's just that his position in the team looks uncertain to me with so much competition in mid and Tiote set to return from ACN and cause a midfeld reshuffle.
Since it's a WC I would personally go with Santon (who's also looking like an attacking fullback) or Williamson for safety - but Raylor could hit big.Open Controls(Had good points from Raylor earlier in season, got rid when Santon started to take his place...)
