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 ControlsIs Verm a good idea away to Bolton and home to Blackburn (without Yakubu I guess?)
Open ControlsKompany is back for the everton game isn't he? He's done 4 games after Liverpool CC
Open Controls127 hours on tonight
worth watching??Open ControlsYes. Very good film.
Open ControlsGuy gets stuck. Guy cuts arm off. Guy lives happily ever after. The end.
Open Controlsthanks for ruining it
sigh
now, what else is onOpen Controls
its a cut above most films
Open Controls😀
Open Controls
Yes.
Open ControlsGot to say I did wonder how they made ~2 hours out of a plot with 1 guy, 1 place and 1 event. Did they manage it?
Open ControlsCan my kids watch it.....it being so 'armless?
Open Controls
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 Controlsdamn your mid is too strong! maybe look at zamora?
Open ControlsYeah 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 ControlsWill probly rotate between the formations 3-4-3 and 3-5-2
Open Controls
WC question...
Walters + Huth (or similar)
or
Valencia + Shotton (or similar)
taOpen ControlsB 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 ControlsAll advice welcome on my wc team
vorm/lindegard
cahill/shotton/brown/simpson/enrique
moses/sess/bale/valencia/silva
ade/rvp/bent
and 0.8 in the bank thanks ladsOpen Controlsanyone ?
Open Controls
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 ControlsRepost, 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 Controlsno form at all, playing as a CF and sometimes as a CM . . .
Ive already transferred him outOpen Controls
WC
Open Controls
for those who have gerrard, would u keep or sell, baring in mind he has wolves? cheers
Open Controlsi 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 Controlstrue 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 ControlsWhen 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 ControlsWC 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 Controlsgravity???
Open ControlsSlow 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 ControlsWebb 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 Controlsthat 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
Open Controlsand i can't help but laugh at the little dive he does afterwards to try to pretend he was falling all the time
Open Controls
Bonus Point Predictions for:
Valencia
Sessegnon
Bale
Silva
RvP
Thank you, please. 🙂Open Controlsmessi 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 Controlsbecause he is only doing it in a side full of world class players
Open Controlsagreed. the man is far and away the best footballer to have ever graced the game, imo.
Open ControlsWe take him for granted when he's playing now, in 10 years' time we will be wondering how anyone was in doubt.
Open ControlsPele talking about Messi being the best ever:
"When Messi has scored 1,283 goals and won three World Cups, then we will talk. People ask me all the time when there will be a new Pele. I tell them, 'Never'. My parents shut down the factory.”Open Controls+1
Open Controls
because he goes in a shell on the biggest stage WORLD CUP !! when he doesnt i will say greatest ever but for now i will say he is incredible
Open Controls
Barcelona are just a ridiculously stacked stacked team. Football is not played better anywhere else.
Open Controls
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 ControlsI'm keeping Studge due to fixtures, but we know how that one turned out this w/e 😕
Open Controlsim doing the same but thinking on benching him and playing Vorm 😀
Open Controlsi've had it. getting rid. how many poor scores does it take before he needs to go. 6 points in 5 gameweeks.
Open ControlsI 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 ControlsI 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 ControlsBut he plays for ManU who are the team that can put it on a plate for anyone.
Open Controls
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 ControlsHe is indeed, fixtures aren't great after GW23 though whereas Buzsaky' are great.
Open Controlsbut 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.
Open Controls
I want to play him over Silva but I bet a pussy out.
Open Controls
Signed Kompany in WC expecting red flag to come off today!
Will it come off tomrw? Or after Wed?Open ControlsProbably 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 ControlsC 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 ControlsShould 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 Controlsor 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 ControlsPlayed Richards, Santon, Simpson (for a combined total of -1). Lescott on my bench. Smooth.
Open ControlsOuch!
Thought my combined back 4 score of 5 was bad?!Open Controls
just a twisted ankle. will be back next game
Open ControlsNo news, but you might like this.

Open Controlsreminds me of that less than skillful backheel in the preseason friendly in the states that got him substituted
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 ControlsHey but Balotelli's a loveable rogue who hands out £50 notes to street urchins.
Open ControlsYou 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 Controlsi don't think we ever waited quietly have we?
and he makes himself a figure of funOpen ControlsIt'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 ControlsI 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 Controlsaiming a stamp at someone's head isn't truly violent?
Open ControlsHe'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 ControlsAbsolutely 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.
Open Controls
at least when he gets banned for life he can take up a career in darts
Open ControlsBut not as cute as that other loveable rogue Paul Scholes who gets away with studs up tackles into players midriffs.... And they all say it's only "Scholesy" it okay 😕
Pot & Kettle...Open Controlsbit different i think
can't see ANY player getting a retro ban for that
even marioOpen Controls
Lindegaard is a keeper, (pun well and trully intended)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jan/19/manchester-united-david-de-gea-eye-surgery?newsfeed=trueOpen ControlsWhat do you guys think the average will be this week after bonus? Around 35?
Open ControlsAguero Rooney Torres RVP Adebayor Suarez hernandez
All the top priced strikers looking a bit poo at the mo
At least RVP and Bent scored but neither looking particularly lethal
Hmmm....Open Controlsaguero is about to exploded, very sharp today
Open Controls
I could have hung the armband on any of the other midfield/forward players I fielded and done better than Aguero. Blah.
Open ControlsBest two forwards for 12.8?
Open Controlskeane and zamora on fixtures, maybe helguson.
