Super Sunday left Sky Sports salivating after both Manchester clubs completed the double over their north London counterparts to end the gameweek. With the FA Cup next weekend, we’ve a nine day wait until the next lot of fixtures but, for just now, it’s time to analyse the key statistics from our Members area and make a stab at the destination of the Fantasy Premier League bonus points…

As much as im fairly happy to be on wildcard, i just have a feeling that i will be influenced so much by team sheets coming out on the tuesday of the deadline, i will just end up with a panic team that i dont really want!

I really think the Ravens should give Tyrod Taylor a chance sometime. He looked good at Virginia Tech and its not like Flacco is irreplaceable. Reminds me of a poor mans Michael Vick!

If you needed to pick 2 out of these four, who would it be? (Price is no matter)

Sessegnon, Dempsey, Walters, Valencia.

And 1 out of these 3?

Zamora, Fletcher, Sturridge.

Vorm
Skrtel, Senderos, Skrtel
Bale, McClean, Sess, Valencia, Dempsey
Rvp(c), Rooney

Vorm, Kelly, Torres, Shotton

1) Should i play kelly instead of skrtel and
2) Should i sell torres this week or just leave on bench as i’m happy with starting 11

4 point hit alert

Rooney and Walters to Silva and a cheap striker like Welbeck, Zamora etc.

I could leave it a week, but some players you just need to stop procrastinating about and get in for the long term...

Anybody who thought they had a bad Gameweek then hear this:!

To get Gerrard in so i could captain him i traded Dempsey, Ben Arfa and Valencia for Gerrard, Walters and Barton.
I missed out on 40-odd points and would have been perfect to climb my mini-league.
This year sucks, chasing the fixtures just doesn't seem to work anymore!

        No shock at all. Niners running defense is great, not so much the passing....The thing is the Niners will outscore you, but since the Giants are seemingly on a hot streak...it's going to be a close high scoring game.

Few questions here:

b) Rooney to Zamora and Walters to Silva.
c) Keep Rooney and Walters

  I think you should hkeep both
  Rooney maybe only for one more week ,
  Walters bench material next week but then has good fixtures.
  
  Why not just keep your transfers till just before the next gameweek , then use one to get rid f your worst player, having two freebies next gameweek will be useful
