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…
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?Open ControlsCahill looked strong on Sunday. I think will a defence of Ivanovic Terry Cahill and Cole Chelsea could start racking up the clean sheets.
Open ControlsYep 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 agoOpen Controls
Yep, I hope to get Beauswinger then ... maybe instead of Shawcross.
Open ControlsWill he get a start ahead of Iva?
Open ControlsCashley is back though next week so do you think Bos will even play? (Same could be said of Cahill of course once Terry is back)
Open ControlsBosingwa isn't first choice Doos 🙂
Open ControlsHow do you know?
Open ControlsBecause he has only been playing since Ivanovic/Luiz had been injured, and then Terry/Cole this week.
With Ivanovic and Cole back, Cahill making his debut he isn't first choice, promise 🙂Open Controls+ Terry due back soon
Open ControlsOK. I'll look again. This defence malarky is getting me down.
Open Controls
I am a bit of a clot - I had Benoit on the bench last night. I see he's going up again!
Open Controlswas the right decision tho
i dont see much joy for spurs in their next 6 gamesOpen ControlsWell ... 🙂
Open Controlstosey... u holding n to walters??
Open ControlsI suppose I might replace Adebayor with Aguero!
Open Controls
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.Open Controls

Mata.
Open Controls
Chelsea have nice fixtures from gameweek 26..Is Mata the only viable option to think of??
Open ControlsMata/Studge/Cole.
Open Controls
Demba Ba already higher than his pre-ACN price..
In one month of being flagged (majority red) he dropped 0.3, a few days of being unflagged/yellow flagged and he has risen 0.4 😯Open ControlsHe did.
Open Controls
I know, ridiculous. I've never seen anyone rise that quickly before.
I think the FPL is trying to price us out of having him 😛Open ControlsReally annoying for us cautious souls who thought it was best to hold out because he might not start against Villa and have a tough game against Spurs plus be a bit jaded from ACON travelling etc...
Open Controls
Thoughts on the Suarez/Parker eye poke? Intentional, accidental, camera angle? Pic's don't look good.....
Open ControlsDidnt see an eye-poke in the game (saw Suarez kick Parker in the gonads though 😆 ). And the 1 picture I've seen doesnt look like his finger is anywhere near his eye, just his hand is on his cheek. He really is an odious little twunt though Suarez
Open ControlsNot sure if I'm allowed to post this link:

Dempsey/Bale looks Nice option for this week captaincy ..Well RVP is RVP..But he will be up agaisnt a form side who are well organized at this moment and playing well enough.
Open ControlsYe it's a straight choice between Demps n Bale for me.
Open Controls
You should be scared of some Silly captain choices 😉
Open Controlsseems that way. Everytime i put an armband to anyone else other than rvp. Rvp bagged a hat trick. The next week i decided to captain him. He scored none. yeah im used to it.
Open Controls
Often see posts like 'great score this week by my reserve FF side lol' like this guy:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2524906/event-history/24/
and wondering..
How many of you lot have more than one team in this? Why?!
Be interesting to know how many different players there are controlling the 2.7m teams.Open ControlsI don't, because it's against the rules afaik.
Open Controls
Ahh well, this week I could have REALLY made up some ground on my rival. Alas, twas not to be. Onward.
I'm a little worried about my Kompany Clichy Combo, what are peoples thoughts on Clichy's nailed-on-ness?
Also, does anyone know why Riise started on the bench last game?Open ControlsI guess no one really knows until Gw26. That's when the rotation could materialize after Europa. But I still feel Mancini will play his best 11 for the PL games, which would include Clichy at LB.
Open ControlsCool, thanks for your comments. Think I might start a plan of going for Hart/Komp, which I toyed with in the first place.
Riise? No idea? I was stumped.Open ControlsKomp 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.Open Controls
Well, my plans to get Clichy are blown out of the water. Not nailed on at all.
Open ControlsSeems like Komp/Lescott would be the most nailed on doesn't it.
Open Controls
Once Kolo returns only Kompany and to a slightly lesser extent Richards are nailed on.
Open ControlsHmmm might have to rethink this 2 city defender plan.
Open Controls
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!Open ControlsI 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.Open Controls*had
Open ControlsWe 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.Open ControlsBest 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.Open Controls
Got 1 FT and was formulating my Dzeko exit strategy but not sure which way to go. Who in my squad do I downgrade to be able to fund the move? 1.3 mil in the bank.
Vorm
Richards, Kelly, Caulker
Sess, Bale, Silva, Dempsey
RVP, Ba, Dzeko
Subs: Lind, Valencia, BAE, EnriqueOpen ControlsWould 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.
Open ControlsMorning 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?Open ControlsWill my wide head do? 😉
A) for me.Open ControlsSo doos why do you think the standard of batting in ODI's and tests has dropped so drastically?
Open ControlsBecause the team is poisoned by Peterson's presence.
Open ControlsNo not only England but just generally example Sri lanka's dismal show vs SA, austrailia's dismal show vs SA, India's dismal show vs England,Austrailia
Open ControlsIndia are ageing, Sri Lanka's Test technique is betrayed by too much one-day stuff, Australia only have one real batsman as Ponting is so far past his sell-by that you can smell him over here. We are also still recovering from the appalling treatment meted out to Thorpe.
Open Controls
Udit, I dont mind you hi-jacking my post, but do you have an opinion on my question? It would be gratefully considered 😀
Open Controls
Me too.
Open Controls
Definitely A.
But theres a lot of for Siggy on hereOpen Controlslot of *love* for Siggy on here
Open Controls
hi guys..pls RMT..give it 1 - 10
mignolet (krul)
senderos taylor assou (simpson, taiwo)
sess silva bale dempsey (oxlade)
silva aguero rvp (c)
comments are most welcome..thx!Open ControlsBa's price has gone crazy, at this rate I'll have to go down the Papiss route. ðŸ™
Open ControlsGuess he's rose for the last time this week. Will be interesting to see if he'll rise for a 4th time. Maybe if touches 400% or something 😉
Open ControlsHe won't rise again this week, so you've at least got until the deadline with him at 7.7
Open ControlsIf the 0.3m rise cap is true, I will still just about be able to afford him for next week. If not, I will happily go papisto. I'm leaning towards him regardless. An extra Ba rise would make my decision easier!!
Open Controls
Vorm Hennessy
Kompany Richards Cahill Simpson Senderos
Bale Dempsey McClean Sigurdsson Walters
RVP Aguero Zamora
Aguero & Walters out, Silva & Ba in. What dya reckon?Open ControlsGood. Nice team. I am trying to shoehorn both Silva and Aguero in at the moment ... I suppose I am stupid to ignore Ba ...
Open ControlsI'm a big fan of the RVP Kun Ba combination. Don't think you should get rid of Aguero, but I suppose if you are supplementing with Silva then thats ok.
Might be worth another roll of the dice on Walters, I'm giving it one more go. Any way you can shoe horn Ba in for Zamora?Open ControlsCould do Ba for Zamora, but I like Zamora as a differential, especially with QPR's fixtures.
Am also tempted to stick with Walters, he made a couple of clips in the highlights with some shots at goal.
Would need to get rid of either Aguero or one of my City defenders if I were to get Silva in.Open Controls
i would kill to afford aguero in my team for city's awesome fixture but youre getting rid of him ? Odd. Its either you have aguero or have silva for me. I would prefer aguero more tho.
Open Controls
Anyone think it is worth dumping Enrique? I'll lose 0.5m on him.
Open ControlsI am a Liverpool-free zone.
Open ControlsAlready done it last week (for Huth, which went well 😆 ).
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.
Will probably buy Cahill or JEvans now if Huth is suspendedOpen ControlsI would, liverpool only have 2 games when everyone else has 3 over the next month or so. Also they are two very tough games.
Open ControlsThanks for the replies guys - kinda what I was thinking
Open Controls
Well what do you know finally top of my mini league.now time to panic and bring in Cameron Jerome or someone of that like..
Seriously though what changes are required?
I think i need Fulham forward coverage but Dempsey is just to much, i have had enough of Walters and do plan to get a Demba next week.
Also think my defense looks gash! Is Senderos at risk of being dropped??Open ControlsMulling over transfers for this week, team looks like this:
Mignolet (Krul)
Kompany, Caulker, Kelly (Evans, Simpson)
Bale, Dempsey, Silva, Valencia (McClean)
RVP, Aguero, Keane
0.9 in the bank, 2 FT
Thinking of Keane to Yakubu - good move?Open ControlsGetting a vibe ppl have lost the love for Valencia...?
Open ControlsBeauswinger did a job on him ...
Open ControlsUtd's fixtures combined with the return of Nani and Young means that he is not as popular choice as before. I'll be watching him closely though to see if he's still our 1st choice RW come GW28 as he'll be right back on the radar if he is
Open Controlstransfered him out for siggy's next 3 games. But probably will be getting him bacl after a game with spurs provided that he isnt pushed back once nani is back and keep his position.
Open ControlsLast month, even when Nani was playing in front of valencia, he outscored Nani. I just got him this gw through WC. Finding reasons not to swap him out for a week. Hope he gets me some points
Open Controls
Vorm - Hilario
BAE - Richards - Caulker - Enrique - Simpson
Silva - Bale - Sess - Valencia - Ferguson
RvP - Kun - Fletcher
Already jumped into Ba-wagon by Fletcher -> Ba, still got 1 FT and 0.6 in the bank, currently thinking of getting rid of Enrique. But who to get in with 6.6?
Team for gw 25 would be:
Vorm (Hilario)
BAE - Richards - Caulker - ? (Simpson)
Silva - Bale (vc) - Valencia - Sess (Ferguson)
RvP (c) - Kun (Ba)Open ControlsIt seems that way doesnt it?
I know he has poor fixtures for the next couple but surely he is worth keeping through them cos his fixtures then turn really good. Ashley young back would be a concern though. Nani,Young and Valencia all battling for the wing spots points to reduced game time for valencia?Open ControlsReply fail
Open Controls
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. Would the inclusion of Sturridge or Zamora be foolish or a good differential? Also, any thoughts/words on whether Cahill will be a regular starter? Chelsea's fixtures look very favourable in the coming weeks.
Open ControlsBa 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 playOpen ControlsCheers pal, you're right about Ba, my instinct says to get him in but was wanting to differentiate my team and buck the trend, though I guess there's a reason it is a trend. 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.
...and to think my boss thinks I'm busy cracking on with some work right now 😀Open ControlsYep I'm waiting on Ba and Cahill for another week too. Gotta be quick after the next deadline though as I think Ba will just keep on rising but has reached his limit for this GW
Open ControlsOh and by the way great ranking. No need to look for differentials in your position. Let us rank and file do that 😉
Open ControlsCheers mate and very sound advice :). Hopefully the love for Ba will calm down soon but I should be able to afford him.
Open Controls
Cheers mate :). Need a reshuffle of players and a big push now to keep my ranking up.
Open Controls
Please help me decide who to bench next week out of
Valencia Bale Dempsey Sess Siggy
Aguero Ba Rvp!Open ControlsHard 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.
Open Controls
Just did Kompany>Richards and Barfa>Dempsey for a -4. My team is now like this. What do you guys think?
Krul - Vorm
Richards - BAE - Taiwo - Shotton - Sanderos
Bale - Val - Dempsey - Silva - Mcclean
RVP - Ba - KunOpen ControlsGood team bar Shotton. But thats a transfer for another time
Open ControlsMidfield doesn't rotate at all, but I guess a lot of others face the same problem since Sess and Siggy burst onto the scene.
I still have Walters, who is the one who does rotate, but am looking to get rid after a run of 2ptsOpen ControlsGuess rotation doesnt count as much with that front 7 (and half). RVP-BA-Kun doenst rotate very well, do they? But I guess that would be a dream front for most right now. I second Gaffer's opinion.. and a bit on Taiwo selection as well. But since you will be playing 3-4-3, you should be more than alright. imho
Open Controls
Demba Ba 12 apps for Senegal, 5 goals

Ba is so last season, join me on the Papiss wagon!Open ControlsI've had Papiss since he arrived! I'm hoping for it to be a brilliant gamble.
Open ControlsIt's gonna. Could get them both tbh.
Open Controls
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.
Open Controlswhy don't league leaders need differentials? they would want to extend their lead.
Open ControlsThey don't want to lose it.
Open Controlsand 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.

Demba Ba 2011/2012 season 15Goals 4Assists (with 14games left to play)
Nuff said 😉Open ControlsThat's amazing but it was before the Cisse. Think about Nokia and Apple on cell phone sales for example 😉
Open ControlsOkay, how about with Cisse..
Ba w/ Cisse - 9 points in 1 game.
Cisse w/ Ba - 6 points in 1 game.
Ba wins.Open Controls😆
Interesting analogyOpen Controls
Guys, in the members area, is there anywhere I can view the PPI by match, eg Spurs vs Liverpool?!
Open Controlsnot the PPI but the ICT you can, just set it to current gameweek and see the LIV and Spurs players
Open ControlsCan anyone tell me if GERRARD will get any bonus!!? Got £30 riding on it as it will give my rival the win!!!!
Open Controls
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?Open Controls
