The Team Statistics area of the Members Area has a wealth of data available to help guide our Fantasy selections and yet, to this point, we’ve somewhat neglected to highlight some of the information found there.
We’re addressing that from now on, with regular Numbers Game articles focusing on the data produced within a Gameweek, with a regular check on the attacking and defensive performance of teams over the previous four Gameweeks.
Anyone tempted by Cabaye this week for Newcastle against a rudderless Wovles?
Also, defender with good CS chance for 5.7 or under?
CS chance for this week?
In general, this week is a bonus though.
JEVans? Mr. Danny Simps?
Sorry guys let me list who I've got already -
Evans, Santon, Kelly, Caulker
Not looking on doubling up on any of those defences. Because they're mostly sh*t. OK, I'm just talking about Fulham here, because I'm bitter...
You know................ I've been against it for ages but in this context it is starting to make sense.
It really does.
That's a gamble...Taiwo maybe?
Problem is I don't trust the QPR defence for cleanies, do you? Normally I would be totally against Cahill but Terry and Bos are injured and having looked at the defenders the only way he couldn't play is if Ferreira comes in and Ivanovic goes CB.
And yes Chelsea don't have the best defence ever, but they are home to Bolton... I mean ffs, if they can't keep a CS there when will they?
For that cash range and without doubling you aren't going to just be gambling on cleanies... Look for assist potential or something to compensate for the lack of a clean sheet.
Hmmm maybe we're back to Taiwo. Or Cahill, who has attacking potential
This in theory, but fixtures look awful and they may have a blank GW29
My defense is Richards - R. Taylor - Simpson. My subs are McClean, N. Taylor, Enrique.
If Micah doesnt play, does he get substituted for McClean which would mean 0 points cause there should be at least three in defense, or instead the first defender from the subs - N. Taylor, replaces him?
Thanks
N Taylor will replace him. You must have at least 3 defenders in play.
Any changes need to formation/subs please?
Krul (Migs)
Kelly Kompany Simpson (Taylor Shotton)
Dempsey Silva Bale Sess (Holy One)
RVP Ba Aguero
I like. Is that R or N taylor?
Looks good, however cant see Fulham getting CS. Might be tempted to start Shotton ahead of Kelly, however not 100% sure if he will start this week...Other than that looks good, Im going for Ba (c) with same front 3 as you
Thanks guys. yeah Ba (c) for me also. You have got me thinking now about Shotton but I dont think he will start thats the dilemma.
Team linked. Any brainwaves?
Want to get Ba in somehow - don't mind taking a 4 point hit for a extra sub.
where does it say that kolarov is injured?
Im pretty sure richards will play, i just think mancini let him rest for the villa game, he has been on and off with small injuries.
Hey guys, play Evans or BAE this week? Remaining defence is Krul, Kompany, Santon (Caulker).
Cheers!
I vote for Evans.
Evans less likely to concede. can you respond to my question above cheers
Evans, just about. But I wouldn't put it past BAE to get attacking points at Arsenal. Not a CS though.
fletchers virus has made the moses/fletcher decision for me, leaves me with this and a transfer banked for next week
hart
kompany, cashley, shawcross
moses, dempsey, sess, walters (vc), silva
ba (c), rvp
fletcher, senderos, kelly
off home soon, good luck everyone
chances of Richards playing this week??
if he does not feature, who should be my 1st sub to replace him Caulker/Kelly??
Kelly
Knowing Fulham they'll produce CS exactly when you're thinking of benching them..
i am thinking of benching both senderos and kelly...!
Doubled up... 🙁
what would you advice me between kompany-senderos-kelly-williamson & evans?
Kompany, Williamson and Evans so I agree with you - as a long time disappointed victim of Fulham losing CS, I do have to advise you to sell one of the defs ASAP, prolly Senderos.
next gameweek, 2 transfers,
i am thinking:
A) dempsey> walter and senderos>skrtel
B)sess> mclean and sendero>skrtel
C) other?!
Will Sorensen be benched now for the foreseeable future?
Any changes need to formation/subs please?
mignolet(vorm)
evans Kompany williamson (senderos,kelly)
Dempsey Silva Bale Sess (surman)
RVP rooney Aguero?
captain: aguero
one free transfert 0.2 in bank..!
Been away from the site for a week or so so forgive me if this has been discussed, but does anyone know why the members season ticker has not been updated with the possible GW29 missing matches?
Sorenson (Vorm)
Evans Kompany Santon (BAE1 Kelly3)
Silva Bale Taarabt Dempsey (HBA2)
Ba(c) RVP Kun(v)
Captain and subs right you think?
Thanks lads
I would probably play Vorm and may put in BAE, but can see that one both ways.
Vorm Away Sorenson at home so i was thinking Sor but on form it should be Vorm..Ahhhh..and BAE for who? dont wanna drop any of my back 3
I wud put HBA first to be honest - more likely to score or assist and a CS for Spurs is very dodgy. Also BAE returning from injury is a risk as he MAY not start or even aggravate the injury and you could get 1 pt for him. Its a tough one
Dont think HBA will get more than 15 mins..defo wont be starting and doesnt really fit into the team system with ba and cisse back also cabaye and toite return 2moror as well
What do you guys think of the new Mid for Wigan Beausejour?
What other players would you suggest in the 5.0 to 5.5 budget?
Yeah he might be alright but I'd rather have Moses and I don't want both.
Look at McClean, Surman, Moses, Morison and Barton/Cabaye if the budget stretches.
Krul (Vorm)
Kompany, Evans, Simpson (Caulker, Kelly)
Bale, Sess, McClean, Silva (Valencia)
RVP, Aguero, Ba
2FT this week, quick vote please, 0.0 in bank
Note: I got Vorm at 4.0 so selling at 4.6
A) Vorm -> Bogdan (to start raising funds for Rooney)
B) Vorm -> Mignolet (to start raising funds for Rooney)
C) Nothing and waste a transfer
D) Something else
cant decide.
vorm
evans, simpson, richards
bale, dempsey, silva, sinclair
RVP, Ba, Aguero
surman, kelly, shotton
was going to do sinclair- cabaye, but too much talk of richards not playing, so dont want to miss city defence cover next 2 weeks, so thinking richards- kompany also for 4 point hit.
Is this worth it I ask? or should i just do richards -lescott
Richards to Kompany for a hit is definitely not worth it. I'd be amazed if he doesn't play at least 1 of the next 2.
my thought is if he does only play one and they get CS it is same money anyway and i would have kompany long term, Lots of if's there i know, but if we didnt have if's we would all be experts
Yeah, i know what you're saying but then that's what subs are for.
Danny
When is the best time to be getting Liverpool/Spurs/Everton defenders in?
GW29 for Liverpool/Everton defenders, Tosey looked at the scheduling and reckons that week will have no games for City, Chelsea, QPR, Arsenal, Stoke and Spurs. Spurs after that GW too.
Nice one mate. Cheers. How is your team looking for this week?
Good to be honest, which means it'll be awfully disappointing 😀
That's at the cost of an awful GW last week.
I've got the injured Valencia problem, but at least I waited and didn't listen to SAF's BS injury estimate... so I've got to weigh up whether to replace him or play McClean.
If the latter, I'm looking for a 5.7 defender...
Doing fletcher > Ba
To fund it i need to do valencia to a mid 7.7 or under?
Thinking walters? Already have sessengon!
walters good choice
Team for this gw is;
Vorm
Evans Shawcross Richards
Taarabt Bale Silva McClean
Ba(c) Aguero RvP
Subs: Kenny Simpson Senderos Valencia
Few decisions that I have to make are McClean or Simpson and Vorm or Kenny. Think I should change it? West Broms home form is poor, but Newcastle should keep a cs against wolves. Hmm...
would think simpson over shawcross based on recent team form. For all talk of swansea being poor away from home, possible they could play stoke of the park.
and swansea have had CS away to lpool and newcastle this year as well as winning 2 of last 3 away
A. huth to a.cole (short term move)
B. huth to evans (long term move)
A.Hole is way too expensive for a defender playing in a leaky defence who barely creates any assists.
Hi any chance of some tips?
Sorensen
Simpson, Taiwo, Komp
Sess, Dempsey, Bale, Silva
Ba (C), Dzeko, RVP
Vorm, Evans, Kelly, Valencia
Any subs required? Thanks.
Swap Dzeko and Valencia to Aguero and McClean and that's my exact team. I'm playing Evans instead of Taiwo though.
Ah right I thought it was pretty generic. I feel if I don't play Taiwo at home then there was no point bringing him in. I was thinking of keeping Valencia as he's back next week.
Are you starting Sorensen or Vorm, Scratch?
I'm an 'Evans before Taiwo' guy, myself.
not according to the guardian
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/feb/24/squad-sheets-newcastle-united-wolverhampton-wanderers
Who would you reckon to score more points this week?
A) Krul, Shawcross, Ox
B) Sorensen, Taiwo, Silva
That's what I think it comes down to in the FFS CL this week, that and captain choices.
Richards starts according to the guardian
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/feb/24/squad-sheets-manchester-city-blackburn-rovers
Psh the guardian...
I'll be honest even though I want him to start the Guardian is crap at the getting things right business
HOLY SMOKES see what I mean:
Guardian Man City v Blackburn preview:
"Odds Manchester City 2-9 Bolton 14-1 Draw 11-2"
I seriously hope they are correct, although it's got GOTCHA written all over it. I'm doing Richards>Kompany as soon as the opportunity presents.
Play Siggy or Taiwo this week?
