With the Gameweek settled and the Reebok woodwork still reverberating from the efforts of a luckless Robin Van Persie, it’s time for our Members to soak up a selection of key stats from our Opta data. As usual, we’ve also thrown in our take on how the Fantasy Premier League bonus could pan out…

Dunno who to play this weekend
Stockdale
BAE,evans,senderos
dempsey,sess,OX,silva,bale(C)
Berbatov,Aguero
Subs Vorm,Rtaylor,Helguson,shotton
Got 69 before baps
But lookin on the fixtures this weekend im finding it hard to see where points will come from, prob have to sell berba for ROO or RVP
Any advice would be greatly appreciated used wildcard already……….Open Controls1 FT
Open Controlsi took a punt not to use RVP this week everyone in my league had RVP as capt, needless to say i was justified at the final whistle amost justified on my OX punt, thinking of gettin him this weekend for Blackburn though
Open Controls
i played raylor over berba....dont think he will played, i also have him but on the benched this week...
Open Controls
Current squad is
Sorenson/Vorm
Richards/JEvans/Cahill/Enrique/Simpson
Bale/Walters/Valencia/Silva/McClean
RVP/Morrison/Aguerro
So cahill out to be replaced by who?? I also have 2transfers dis week so wat should i do?Open Controls
Any guess to who will start next week if Helguson's fit? BZ/Helg/Cisse?
Who'd you expect to be on penos?Open ControlsI have 2 FT this week. If i only use 1 transfer do i still get 2next week?
Open Controls
Played my WC this week, and I'm currently staring at a front 8 of:
Silva Sessegnon Bale Valencia Dempsey
Aguero RvP Ba
As sexy as this looks, I think I'm going to downgrade one of the above to either James Morrison or Sigurdsson, seeing as I can't play 2-5-3.
Who would you drop?
If you can think of a better alternative to the two I've proposed, then would be all ears on that too 😀Open Controls
I like 🙂 nice 8
Sessegnon -> McClean for the $$$$ same same but differentOpen ControlsI like that thinking
Open Controls
You could just bench Dempsey, but I understand your hesitance at having to make a decision like that week in week out...
I too have a similar quandary, and will consider downgrading Sess to McClean soon now that Sunderlands fixtures have dried up...
And it leaves you with money to boost your defense...Open Controls
so glad i transferred out rtaylor and enrique and dropped taiwo out of my final wc team this week
who needs their points anyway?
I'd rather play adebeyor every weekOpen ControlsZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZzzzzzzzz....
Open Controlsok sorry to distract from yr wc dilemma
I have the power 5 too so I feel yr pain with the need to have a solid 5 mil mid
weirdly enough, silva is the only annoying member of the 5 but yr not dropping him
was gonna ship in dzeko but maybe not now
I'm thinking zamora for ade instead - so aguero to zamora might be yr option then you can spend big on three attacking defs + caulker and taiwo/santonOpen Controls
tough gameweek ahead for my front 8
aguero, bent, sturidge
dempsey, valenica, sess, bale, cabaye..
need to get rid of cabaye for sure.. got 2.4 in the bank.. Ready o take a 4 point hit.Open Controls
Is Bogdan first choice for Bolton now? noticed Jaaskelainen was on the bench for the Arsenal game (thinking he could be my second keeper)
cheers.Open Controls
Cahill , moment he left Bolton they improved , they even keeping clean sheets now he gone. Chelsea bought another baddun?
Open Controls
Morning lads. Word of warning, our clean sheet last night was down to inept finishing, rather than good defending. Another team (or even blackburn with yakubu) would have put a few past us.
Ba should start on saturday, we really are toothless without him
Don't think we will see Barfa starting for a while. He was very poor first half. I expect perch to continue in centre mid with raylor on the right until tiote comes back.
We were VERY lucky to win. But i'll take any sort of victory, considering we were without half a team (saylor, tiote, cabaye, ba, cisse). I know that Man Utd and Arsenal have been missing loads of players too. But they have champions league quality back up. We have shola ameobi and james perch!!
Only 3 points from 4th spot!!Open Controls
would you double up on newcastle next week home to villa?
or should i play caulker away to WBA instead with krul in goalOpen ControlsI would double up. IF perch plays defensive mid, we'll be pretty solid. But then I don't have a problem with doubling up. I will always consider defenders individually. ie disregard the fact that you have Krul in goal, who is more likely to keep a clean sheet, santon at home to villa, or caulker away to west brom? I know a lot of people avoid doubling up, in case that team concedes. I think that's stupid really. I would only avoid doubling up, if you really can't separate the two players. Then its best to spread your bets.
Open Controls
BA has fatigue 😛
Open Controls
Valencia & Walters or Dempsey & Siggi? Im leaning towards the latter.
Silva - Bale - McClean are other MidfieldersOpen Controls
Still scratching my head thinking to myself "how Arsenal did not score last night??? Specifically RVP! No Cahill, horrible BOL def all was set up for at least a cheap PK......I still can't believe it. Do not mean to whine but it has really stumped me. Sorry to vent and thanks for listening.
Open Controls
Didnt watch ne of the match last nyt ...can u guys tell me the BP predictions of last nyt matches??
Open ControlsBiggest myth currently circulating on football scout.=
Sunderland have tough fixturesOpen ControlsAway to Stoke not that tough these days
Home to Arsenal this current Arsenal side not that great could go either way
Away to WBA nop reason why Sess cant get points here
Away to Newcastle local derby , anything could happen
Home to Liverpool tough game but nothuing to be scared of
Away to Blackburn not too bad
home to qpr ok to
3 of next four away but its not like they travelling to man c , man u and chelseaOpen Controls
Christ:shock
Evs 6 points from the top of the SX http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-leagues/2757/standings/Open ControlsMornin Jafa.
Are you convinced on Valencia yet? Looks really sharp every game & his consistency is hurting me big-time. Do you think I could do without him for the next 4-5 tough fixtures?Open ControlsHi Elninio 🙂
Those stats that Mark put up on Tony V did not make him an attractive prospect. I'm going to make a judgement call and say that Tony V is going to turn into a barren cow before long.Open ControlsSame. Those stats aren't too appealing but he is producing the goods.
Also, good chance he may return at RB with United's injury concerns at the back, with Young/Nani back next week.Open Controls
To Kun or not to Kun?
Open ControlsTo Kun. Home fixtures = greeeeeeet suckkk-cesssssssss 😉
Open ControlsTraditional fixtures-form dilemma.
I'm taking a risk with 2 City defenders & I'll get Kun if he shows the slightest of form before the delicious 2 home games.Open Controls
Never sold but I got him in regardless for BLA/BOL, dont wanna miss the points if he ever hauls those 2 games looks like the best bet.
Should update those red hot streak now Enr 😉Open ControlsHAHA those fixtures are SUPER tempting to ignore him. It would take some balls on my side to not keep him in my WC draft too. But I'm considering 2 City defs + Silva, with lots of mid-priced strikers on display with good fixtures.
Open ControlsDont you reckon its better 2 forwards instead of 2 def tho? They surely gonna score at least a few so it a much higher points potential?
Open ControlsWell its an opportunity cost problem. I could potentially have 2 City defenders at Kun's cost, who is a luxury for a non-form player.
Other reasons:
1) I trust BZ/Cisse's/Ba/Studge/Yak to do well in this period of City's good fixtures.
2) I don't trust Fulham/Stoke defence. That only leaves City, New & Utd to capture those CS.Open Controls
It doesn't make sense. You don't trust Fulham defence and this is why you'll opt for ManC defence? For me, this is the reason why I'll go for ManC attack!
Open Controls
Couldn’t believe my housemate won the paddy power cup, third in our league but always nails his h2hs 😡
Anyhoo, Im taking over my mate’s inactive team and messing about with the wc. Team value is just 102.2 so its pretty limited..team is currently:
Krul,Vorm
Kompany, Shawcross, Simpson, Caulker, Kelly
Silva, Bale, Dempsey, Valencia, McClean
RVP, Ba, Morisson - 0.2 in Bank
How would you guys change it about? Any chance of closing down couple hundred points to climb up the mini league table and piss people off along the way? 8)Open ControlsSess and Mignolet in maybe? Just in from work: is Sess starting to look the real (fantasy) deal now?
Open ControlsI can do Vormy to Mig, but couldnt fit in Sess. Figured Sunderland's fix are getting tougher but I guess all the cool kids had and will be keeping him.
Open ControlsYeah, my plan was to ditch Sess for uber McClean as the two of them are overkill. However, I suspect MON is getting the best out of Sess and his OOP potential is a real boni.
Plus the lack of midpark options aids his inclusion also.Open ControlsYou on the wc as well Jafa? Care to share how you plan to set your team up? 🙂
Open ControlsNo problem-o!
This is what I have so far:
Vorm/Krul
Bad K Enr Shotton Kelly Simpson
Sess Demps Bale Silva Dyer
Ba RVP Aguerro
For me, the issues are:
Keep JE or bin for say, Evans?
Mignolet or Vorm?
I have a team that is based around City so Bad K, Silva and Ag are musts imo.Open ControlsMethinks Shotton is out of contention now. Wilko is nailed on at RB for 3.9 or you could try Vorm > Mign & Shotton > Caulker
Open ControlsYeah what happened to Shotton? Sorry out the picture at present as now back at work.
Open ControlsAhh awesome. First week after surgery? Good luck on that front.
Yeah the expected happened with Pennant returning to the fore. Anyways Stoke won't keep too many CS with their hectic schedule of squeezing Europa/FA with the PL. They are no-go as far as I'm concerned.Open ControlsJafa, Enrique's gotta go!
No expected CS till GW28. HORRID is not the word.Open ControlsSame case for me.
In an ideal scenario where Liv don't get CS until GW29, he should drop in price to 5.7ish or lower, which would meaning losing 0.2. Not bad, imo. It's all about points after all, this game 😀Open Controls
Hey there. Are you sure Wilko is nailed on?
Open ControlsYo! Yup he always was, according to Stoke fans, by virtue of being the only natural right back in their team. Also he has a decent history with the team.
Open ControlsJafa, We're referring to Wilkinson (Stoke) and not Williamson. 😉
Open Controlsthanks. at that money I could bang him in there for Shotton and save some money on WC too
Open ControlsNot worth it Kunlicious unless you're never going to play him in your first 11. He does make for good bench fodder.
Reason: Check above reg. my problem with investing in Stoke.Open Controls
🙁
fuzzy's exhaustion finally caught up with him. in a 14 hour coma, slept through everything.
bolton CS?
my rvp, sturridge, aguero front line scores as much as santon on my bench?
someone make sense of it all. what are the major talking points from last night?Open Controlstwilight zone.
i wake from a coma, everyone has vanished.Open ControlsIt has been 6 hours since the game and still shaking my head. RVP came so close so many times. He set up at least as many of his teamates who could not finish. Feeling gutted!
Open Controlsits been half an hour since i read Bolton 0-0 Arsenal. Still wondering if im dreaming.
Open Controls
On the same boat with your front 3 Fuzzy, and even Moses is laughing at me from the bench 🙁
Open Controlsive got bale (C) so i cant complain i guess, but i just have no clue where to go here with my team.
Open Controls
questions for the members out there (in particular new members this season), is joining up worth the cash?
Open Controlssorry- question
Open ControlsThe guys do a lot of work on this site. I think i refer to this site more than any other (sad i know). For that reason alone it is worth it. I think it is totally worth it for pre season rankings. Plus, Mark is having a baby and he needs the cash!!!!!
Open Controls
I think it is definitely worth it. The members articles are well written loaded with empirical data to back theory and it helps fund EVERYTHING, not just member access. This site puts others to shame, I've smoked my mini league for years and now that the fantasy epl site directly links this sites content I'm in a total dogfight...this site is AWESOME but I wish my competitors didn't know about it.
Open ControlsMy second year playing and first year on this site. Am not a member this season but will be next year, just to support the site. It's mucho trabajo
Open Controls
Seriously thinking of benching Dempsey for Moses this week. Crazy? or does it have merit?
Open Controls
any news on Lindegaard? extent of injury, and is he likely to become main Man Utd starting GK again? not planning to bring in now, but fixtures from GW 28 are strong
Open ControlsWildcard question on GKs: who should I bring in to be deputy GK to Krul (main GK)? options: Mignolet, Sorensen, or Paddy Kenny?
Open Controls
Who would you rather bench next week? Dempsey or Sess?
Open Controls
Dempsey I think.
Open Controls
Hey guys, really need some ideas on how to get Ba in and reorganize my defence over the next few GWs. One option is doing Evans->Kelly and Welbeck->Ba but I have this stupid blind faith in Evans and he hasn't disappointed much considering how much he costs for a ManUtd defender. Don't want to take hits unless absolutely necessary.
Vorm Kenny
Richards Evans Simpson Caulker McAuley
Silva Bale Dempsey Sess Moses
RVP Aguero Welbeck
0.2 in the bank
Thanks so much!!Open Controls
Another option is sess to Mclean to get cash. I know hes scoring big right now but fixtures look bad. Currently deciding myself about Sess out dilema, see below
Open Controls
who will win the cup tie?
my teAM. : http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1821808/event-history/23/
opponents TEam: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/528214/event-history/23/Open ControlsMorning all. Would love some input on the 2 options im currently looking at-
A- IN Evans, Kompany, Cisse OUT Jones, Skertel, Helgusson
B- IN Kompany, Buzaky, Ba OUT Jones, Sess, Helgusson
Team as it currently is-
Krul/Ruddy
Jones/ Skertel/Kelly/ Williamson/McAuley
Silva/ Bale/ Sess/ Murphy/ Valencia
RVP/ Aguero/ Helgusson
I had B in mind all week but Cisse with good fixtures would give a nice differential as im about 50 points behind the league leader.
Any thoughts much appreciated!Open Controls
Happy birthday ravel morrison and Gerard pique and Shakira, 🙂 btw I share the same birthday 😉 😉
Open ControlsA sad moment to record:
...the selling of SuperVorm. He did me well that lad. 🙁
20 pts in the last 7 means he has fallen in the mass cull.Open ControlsWhat happened to your sneaky feeling of "I sense another penalty save"? 😉
Open ControlsIn fairness to the lad he was up against TOT ARS CHE in his last 3 home games, and you can't expect them to get cleanies away, which is why you rotate him...
The only time you'd expect a CS was at home to QPR...
I think your making a mistake getting rid, but good luck nonetheless...Open ControlsI looked at SUN v SWN for the rest of the season. They both have the same no of unfavourable fixtures at home.
What you have to bear in mind is that SUN are a top 10 team and SWN, I see as relegation fodder about to decline due to lack of resources.
It's a call I take total responsibility for making.Open Controls
Aguero Sturridge and RVP up front. I've got a feeling that won't be being touched all season now.
Open Controls8 points 😉
