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…

Rooney Torres Odemwingie
Anyone help me out for a new strikeforce? ( 53 pre bonus so midfield had a blinder, if i had plumped for RVP Bent and Helguson in my WC I would be w@nking myself silly right nowOpen Controls -
Is Verm a good idea away to Bolton and home to Blackburn (without Yakubu I guess?)

RMT, 0.0 in bank
Lindegaard
Kompany | Vermaelen | BAE | Richards | Caulker
Silva | Valencia | Dempsey | Bale | Sessegnon
RVP | Sturridge | Morrison
Not sure about Sturridge and Morrison, have 12.8 if i take out them two out, any other suggestion for two forwards for 12.8?
Thanks.Open Controls-

damn your mid is too strong! maybe look at zamora?
Open Controls-
Yeah was thinking about him, thanks 🙂
Open Controls
-
-
I'd lose BAE for someone like Senderos, maybe get 2 from Zamora, Welbeck and Bent. Bent is obviously more, but looks like he's coming back into form and has some tasty fixtures right up until the time Ba is back. I'd also lose one of your mids, who will you bench every week?
Open Controls-
Will probly rotate between the formations 3-4-3 and 3-5-2

WC question...
Walters + Huth (or similar)
or
Valencia + Shotton (or similar)
taOpen Controls-
B I reckon. Not keen on Walters and think Huth is overpriced until Stoke show they can keep consistent home clean sheets.
Open Controls

Any other Walters owners severely disappointed? I WC'd him in AND captained him for his grand score of 0.
To prevent my knee from jerking, I must remember that, had he scored his penalty, he'd be a hero for me this week!Open Controls -
All advice welcome on my wc team

surprised this site isnt in a state of ecstacy
pretty sure all the RMTs for the last few weeks have had the generic dempsey bale silva sess valencia
and then when u consider rvp scored aswell
thought there would be a lot more happy posters and a lot higher averageOpen Controls -
-
Repost, would love some help with this.
Was planning to WC next week but considering doing it now to catch price rises. Current team is:
Vorm (Sorensen)
Enrique Simpson Evans (BAE Jones)
Silva Bale Sess (Walters Surman)
RVP Sturridge (Rooney?)
Players in brackets are the ones who will be going in the WC. Want to get Richards, Dempsey and Aguero instead. Just not sure about ditching Rooney before Stoke at home. But could get Welbeck instead of Sturridge to cover United?
So, wildcard this week or not?Open Controls-

no form at all, playing as a CF and sometimes as a CM . . .
Ive already transferred him outOpen Controls

for those who have gerrard, would u keep or sell, baring in mind he has wolves? cheers
Open Controls-
i dont have him but a guy here earlier was at the match and said that bar a peno he wont be getting near the goal he's playing so deep
Open Controls-
true but... saw Daglish`s comments after the game, he should be on corner kicks and maybe play as a CAM, behind bellamy. . . Carroll was awful
Open Controls
-
-
Liverpool look horrible. I'd probably ship him out.
Open Controls -
When did you get him in? Why did you do it? One bad game doesn't mean you were/are wrong or right. A bit of longer term thinking is needed, I reckon.
Open Controls-
WC last week, Captained him this week, Gerrard looked to have found some form, and on set pieces and most importantly they were against Bolton 😀
Open Controls
-
-
Keep for wolves. If he still doesn't perform get in a cheaper mid and I'll probably upgrade to bent
Open Controls

how on earth can ANYONE say that is not a deliberate stamp???
you see his leg speed up as it aims at scott's headOpen Controls-
gravity???
Open Controls -
Slow mo it looks very much deliberate. But in real time, i can understand why Webb didn't send him off. Sky pundits were incredibly harsh on him.
Open Controls-
Webb didn't really see it. The incident is at 90 degrees and it's difficult to judge something out of the corner of your eye.
Open Controls -
-
that shouldn't be taken into account though
nobody should get away with that, with history or notOpen Controls

harsh but fair!!!!
Open Controls

and webb doesn't see it, he turns his head towards balo just after he's got the boot in

and i can't help but laugh at the little dive he does afterwards to try to pretend he was falling all the time

Thank you, please. 🙂Open Controls -
messi hattrick.. header from 10 yards out and 2 standard runs past 4 players and finish
the boy is a joke
best player of all time no questions
dont get how not doing it for your country is a reason against him when he is this good for barcaOpen Controls-
because he is only doing it in a side full of world class players
Open Controls -
agreed. the man is far and away the best footballer to have ever graced the game, imo.
Open Controls -
We take him for granted when he's playing now, in 10 years' time we will be wondering how anyone was in doubt.

What do people think of Sturridge -> Welbeck?
Saves some money.
Welbeck looking much more into the game at the moment compared to Sturridge, especially with the rise of Torres (slowly coming about). Looked as thought welbeck was dangerous and in the right positions today.Open Controls-
I'm keeping Studge due to fixtures, but we know how that one turned out this w/e 😕
Open Controls-
im doing the same but thinking on benching him and playing Vorm 😀
Open Controls -
i've had it. getting rid. how many poor scores does it take before he needs to go. 6 points in 5 gameweeks.
Open Controls -
I just see welbeck being dangerous to any defence at the moment, even with the fixtures its against stoke at home, then chelsea who aren't that great in defence at the moment. And then Liverpool after that, and we saw yesterday that their defence isn't all that. Should be playing the players rather then the fixtures... for me.
Open Controls
-
-
I'd prefer Keane. Welbeck needs it put on a plate for him.
Open Controls-
I disagree with that. Welbeck is capable of carving out his own chances he's quick strong and not afraid to put himself on the line (see his goal v Bolton) and but for Merterzacker he would have had a brace today, he was superb.
Open Controls -
But he plays for ManU who are the team that can put it on a plate for anyone.

McLean is looking fantastic value, but with 3-5-2 coming back into fashion, I'm gutted to announce he won't make my team.
Open Controls-
He is indeed, fixtures aren't great after GW23 though whereas Buzsaky' are great.
Open Controls-
but we don't know how much game time he will see yet. The man I'm gonna monitor at QPR is Tarrabt when he gets back. If Hughes can get him going we may finally have the FPL prospect we all thought we'd have at the start of the season.

I want to play him over Silva but I bet a pussy out.

Signed Kompany in WC expecting red flag to come off today!
Will it come off tomrw? Or after Wed?Open Controls-
Probably after Wednesday in case it's called off. If that's the case then he'll be banned for Everton....
Open Controls
-
Which transfer out should take priority?
(A) Huth
(B) Rooney
(C) Gerrard
I have 2 FT so can do a combo of bothOpen Controls-
C and possibly B. You should get team news before the deadline next GW for a few teams though. If Rooney plays, keep him in. But I don't see the attraction of Gerrard at the moment.
Open Controls-
Should I get Aguero before price rise? Have no citeh players and Rooney my only Utd player....
Open Controls

If i was you, Enrique > Clark
Henry > Sigurdsonn
rest Huth play him in GW24Open Controls-
or Rooney - Aguero, Henry - Siggy
Open Controls

I can see things being even worse next week for my defence - got to pick 3 from Enrique (wol), Clark (QPR), Evans (STO), Bardsley (NOR), Raylor (bla).
Not sure what to do about Raylor if he's presumably lost his place - prevented Clark coming off the bench but on the bright side he got 2 more points than Simpson. 😀
Also got Torres whom I have no idea what to do with. :S Is it worth changing him to another striker after only being in my team for one game? Aguero and Rooney who I could get instead both drew blanks this gameweek.Open Controls -
Played Richards, Santon, Simpson (for a combined total of -1). Lescott on my bench. Smooth.
Open Controls-
Ouch!
Thought my combined back 4 score of 5 was bad?!Open Controls

balotelli kicked him in the head while he was on the treatment table
not been a good day for phil, especially after that splinterOpen Controls-
Hey but Balotelli's a loveable rogue who hands out £50 notes to street urchins.
Open Controls-
You lot all absolutely love this, don't you? Quietly waiting like vultures for him to slip up so you can make fun of him!
Open Controls-
i don't think we ever waited quietly have we?
and he makes himself a figure of funOpen Controls -
It's not like it's his first incident of thuggery.
I know he's a colourful character and all that, and always a talking point, but you can't give him leeway because of that. He's as bad as Joey Barton except he does it with a smile rather than a snarl.
Yes I'm biased.Open Controls-
I think that is a harsh comparison Granville.
I won't defend him more on today's incident but Joey Barton has been jailed for 70+ days for assault and beat up Ousmane Dabo (4 month suspension). Balotelli is stupid but he's never done anything truly violent.
He was lucky that the stamp didn't connect better today tbh or the story might have been different.Open Controls-
aiming a stamp at someone's head isn't truly violent?
Open Controls -
He's had 2 training ground fights with Boateng and Richards.
The other reason I don't like him, he's a perpetual diver. And before anyone says anything, yes some United players dive too.Open Controls-
Absolutely fair enough regarding the diving. Wouldn't think those two training grounds fight either are comparable to what Joey Barton did still. Dabo said he looked like elephant man and that youth player who had a cigarette stubbed IN HIS EYE by Barton probably didn't feel too good about it either.
