A superb Stamford Bridge encounter brings Sunday’s events to a close and allows us to take a step back and start examining the action in more detail. Our Members can now lose themselves in our selection of key stats from the matches so far, and assess our view on where the Fantasy Premier League bonus could be heading…

        Depends what defenders you have already to avoid doubling up. Bardsley. Santon, Simpson, Sendersos, Caulker all seem reasonable for their price.

              Bardsley is a good shout. Gives you Sunderland cover and avoids doubling up on Newcastle, Fulham etc. Plus Bardsley likes to bomb forward and has a good shot on him. I would have him but I have Mignolet just now.

          The average for, let's say, the 100k would be much higher than that. Therefore, if you are in the top 100k and scored around 60, you shouldn't expect a significant rise in the rankings.

        True but worth noting that for most of the 1st half of the season Ba played off Best/Shola and was prolific in that role. Obviously Cisse is a different player to those to in that he's more mobile but wouldn't rule out Ba by any means.

        Also Ba wasn't quite up to speed today (nor Cisse) and he'll play much better than today. Cisse could be a good differential though.

          I'd rather have Ba, but unless I take a hit (which I'm loathed to do) I fear he will be out of my price range, hence why I'm considering Cisse

      Concerned at not having Dempsey, not because everyone in my mini league has him but becasue only a select few do, he’s a bit of a differential and i am chasing. Valencia is also a differential but Dempsey seems more explosive. What do you reckon:

      A – Valencia, Sess, Morison -> Dempsey, Siggy, Cisse

      B – Sess & Morison -> Siggy & Ba. (Keep Valencia and go without Dempsey)

      Leaning towards A myself.

            Good move to me. I want to sell Morison too, but i'll wait for 1 more week to see the Ba+Cisse partnership vs Spurs defence. Have enough to afford either, so don't want the wrong one in a game where i don't think Newcastle will score many. Probably selling Sess this week myself, for Sinclair or Siggy

              Ah i take it you were burned by Lambert this weekend aswell then! Yeah, i would prefer Ba but he is getting unbelievably expensive now. Cisse actually looked more threatening today and was definitely playing higher up. Looking to bring Taarabt in for The Ox in the coming weeks, i'll rotate him with Siggy.

              Hate to burst your bubble - but he's only had one rise so far this week. The GW only started yesterday.

                Yeah no this is right. In my head it's Monday for some reason.

                  ok, well if Ba manages to hold at 7.6 (which I doubt, I'll do Taiwo-Kelly and Gerbil - Ba. Otherwise I'll just get Cisse.

                    it's fine, better I know then get to over-excited, only to see him hit 7.7. You think my plan above is a good one?

                      Hard to be completely certain, but on today's evidence it does look like Cisse plays more in advance of Ba - so it might actually be a better move to get him. But many, many people have been burnt by basing their transfer strategy on the evidence of one match.

                      As an example, I've heard it mentioned (though can't remember it myself) that Torres scored a hat-trick once.

                      may bench Gerbil for 1 week then, re-asses after GW25 and then use my 2 FTs to do any regiging necessary

                      Not a bad idea. Not sure how much more we'll learn from Newcastle away at Spurs - but also be careful of Djibril's price dropping.

                      He is red flagged, so won't it take more NTOs to make it drop? If it looks like it will I will just make the transfer.

                      He was only added on Feb 1st, though - not sure how that will affect things. Normally (previous seasons) the first 8-10 days were used to determine a players ownership, and then the drop thresholds were created from this 'original' ownership (and in the meantime, the price couldn't change). This might be good news as, if the same is true this year, then he shouldn't go down in price before the next GW. The downside is, of course, that he could drop in price without any warning. My guess? I think you'll be OK.

        Caulker. Nice few fixtures while United's are not so hot. GW28 is time for 3 or at least 2 United players.

        IMO if your 3rd striker is not a cheapie (Graham/Keane/Fletch) it's gonna be Zamora or Ba/Cisse. It's not an obvious one because Zamora could profit from being the main striker whereas the goals could/will be shared between Ba & Cisse. QPR fixtures are looking good and Newcastle are away to Spurs next GW so I would leave Bobby Z for now.

        Ba is on pens remember, but it's an interesting debate topic. I'd love to hear why you think that.

        I think both will score similarly, but Cisse will always be more likely to be substituted. But as you say, Ba will be 7.6 after tonight.
