The Gameweek closes with a 0-0 stalemate at Anfield, a game notable in the main for a feline streaker – a rival to Everton’s recent handcuffed fan, but a far cry from the 70’s brand of pitch invader. Members can now read on for the key stats from tonight’s game and our prediction of where the remaining Fantasy Premier League bonus will be heading…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What do people think of this punt AFTER the next GW.

    Huth & Morison > Cahill & Ba

    (then Cahill to JEvans for GW28)

    That will give me Cahill for GWs 26 & 27 Bol(h) & WBA(a) which if he does play will surely give me at least 1 cleanie. JEvans fixtures are not as juicy over that period which is the guy I'd transfer in if I didnt buy Cahill.

    Theres always a chance that Luiz could be dropped in favour of Cahill. Right? Any Chelsea fans want to talk me out of it?

      Cahill looked strong on Sunday. I think will a defence of Ivanovic Terry Cahill and Cole Chelsea could start racking up the clean sheets.

        Yep Luiz is a liability. Is actually a very talented player but makes umpteen mistakes per game. And when you are a CB you can barely afford to make any mistakes.

        AVB seems to be a big fan of Luiz though. Saw him talking him up in an interview not so long ago

      sigh. fantasy plays havoc with your loyalties. i had sigurdsson as first sub for this GW, but everyone played... so I was left in the unfortunate postion, as a Spurs fan, of hoping Bale would be left out.

      without Redknapp on the bench, the Spurs mgmt made the right calls... pack the midfield, tell them to try and keep the ball, hope to snatch one with Bale on the counter.

      tosey's right though. without the Lennon+Bale double threat Spurs struggle. and when Lennon does play they tend to be more open and concede more.

          Komp is definitely the way to go! Expensive keepers aren't worth it, imo.

          Surprised Riise was benched as well. Pretty sure it's a case of occasional rest for a senior member of the regular 11.

    Hi Jackoff

    I spent some time replying to your suggestion that pardew "clearly doesn't see barfa as a first team player", so it would be a shame if you missed it!!

    REPOST

    If you note my last comment “i might be dreaming though”, it suggests that this is what I want the team to be, rather than what pardew will definitely choose.

    Saying that though, the fact that Barfa started the fulham and brighton games (tough away games), in something similar to my suggested formation leads me to think that he is very much in pardew’s plans. I was fully expecting him to be an impact sub only until Tiote comes back. With Tiote and Cabeye in centre mid, we are very strong, which MIGHT allow us to play Barfa. Also, he has been doing much more running about chasing after the ball in the last few games he has played.

    Also, he was very poor against brighton, and kept giving the ball away, but we had Ameobi and Best up front ffs!! You would get more movement from an actual amoeba!! He will definitely get his chance to show what he can do, when he actually has some proper strikers to pass to!

      I think the fact that he started against Brighton and Fulham and they lost both games doesn't bode well.
      Maybe he will start with Tiote/Cabaye back but I doubt it, considering he didn't get any minutes on Sunday when Ba and Cisse have come back.

          We lost against brighton because we were missing 5 first team players (6 if you don't count Barfa as first team). I don't see pardew making him a scapegoat for that.

          He was our best player against Fulham.

            Best player in a 5-2 loss isn't much of an achievement.
            I'm just going off what I have seen, and what I've seen is he only starts when there are plenty of players missing.

    Would you guys play Taiwo away to Blackburn or Evans at home against Liverpool? I originally had Taiwo playing but after last night I can see Man U getting a CS this weekend......but there again Taiwo has an attacking threat against Blackburn whereas Evans only scores in his own goal.

    Morning all

    Still feeling the repercussions of the dismal transfers I made on my wildcard which has left me with a big dilemma. I have 1FT this week and I have already planned on bringing in Aguero for Dzeko with next week’s FT. The original plan incuded keeping Walters until after GW27 after the match home to NOR. However I now want to get rid, giving me 2 players, Gerrard and Walters, which I am undecided on what to do with this week. So this week do I:

    A) Do Gerrard out for Dempsey and bench Walters (as per original plan)?
    B) Do Walters out for Siggy, play him at home to NOR and bench Gerrard?
    C) Do both out for a –4 as I should easily recoup my losses, but have a selection headache on who to bench? I wouldn’t bench either Dempsey or Siggy though.

    Can any wide heads on here help?

        Am also tempted to stick with Walters, he made a couple of clips in the highlights with some shots at goal.

      But I'm still happy not to have him for the next 4GWs until after the Sunderland game.

      I'm now stuck with a currently suspended Huth of course but I just didnt see the points of having a 6.0 DF (5.5 selling price for me) who wasnt even going to play for me for 5GWs until probably after the Sunderland away game.

    After balancing my finances carefully to get him back in my team, I've been blown out the water with Ba's monster price rise.

      Ba is perhaps worth making the big changes to afford over Studge or Bobby Z.

      I'm going to take a punt on Cahill playing. I'm by no means sure he'll play but think that it's worth the risk when they have such nice fixtures coming up. All the rest of my DF are nailed on starters so I'll just have to lean on my bench players if he doesnt play

I think I'm going to take a punt on Cahill too, nice price, nice fixtures and my other DFs are nailed on too. Will allow the funds for Ba and I can finally ship Ferguson for Dyer/MClean or someone. Not going to do it this GW because I don't see him doing much against Spurs.

      Hard choice between Ba Sess and Valencia. If united are gonna do something against Liverpool Valencia will likely be involved so it's between the other 2. I think Spurs looked defensively better than Arsenal so Sess slightly more likely to score than Ba, though I dont expect either of them will. So Ba for the bench IMO.

      this could be a good call for anyone needing a differential to overhaul their league leader who now has the same team as everyone else.

        why don't league leaders need differentials? they would want to extend their lead.

            and the people trailing them, wouldn't they not want to lose even more ground? i don;t agree with the logic. differentials are equally viable for everyone.

          Okay, how about with Cisse..
          Ba w/ Cisse - 9 points in 1 game.
          Cisse w/ Ba - 6 points in 1 game.
          Ba wins.

    Is there really a 0.3m price rise cap or has it just never been tested?
    I don't see it anywhere in the rules... guess we will soon did out!

    One thing I did wonder. When Cisse and Ba play for Senegal, which one of them plays the "deeper role". Perhaps if Cisse plays the more tap in from six yards role then he might be worth a punt if it shifts Ba further back?

      It's not a written rule but something that has been observed with Dzeko, RVP, etc. No one has risen 0.3M£ during one GW this season.

      From what I heard, Cisse is the finisher, and that is all he purely is. Ba will provide flick-ons, but will probably take penalties as well.

      I don't have the stats, but I don't think that they have played up front together that much for the national team. Senegal have a shed load of strikers.
