Four games down, five to go. A fractured Gameweek rolled on with a convincing win for United at Wolves and a not-so emphatic performance and victory for top four hopefuls Newcastle. Our Members can dip into all the data from the weekend’s games and read on for our selection of the notable numbers so far. As usual, we’ve also thrown in our prediction for the Fantasy Premier League bonus points…

Partway through matchday 4, Villareal Manager TW was cornered by the press and forced to make an official statement for the media.
When asked about his thoughts regarding his round three match against Robert Newman-Cini's Manchester City, TW responded "We were disappointed to have lost such a tightly contested match" and that "City were lucky to have won." While his responses were brief, he did say that more would be heard on the matter shortly.
He then proceeded to say that he hoped his team could capitalize on their home advantage in what is looking to be another tightly contested match-up between the two teams.
He revealed that he had looked into signing Evans or bringing in the dynamic duo of Caulker and Valencia but was too busy to finalize either transaction so unfortunately missed out on both deals which was rather disappointing for him. However he said he hopes to be able to one or two of the said players with perhaps another signing on the cards as well.
To the seemingly typical question of where he had disappeared to and why there was a delay for his post match press conference, this time around TW was a bit more elusive. He mentioned that he had been quite busy talking with League officials and with local authorities but refused to reveal any more. He also hinted at some sort of a news breaking cover story that was soon to come before he reluctantly opened the field to questions.Open Controls-
i dont understand. Its way too long and rambles on about nothing important. All speculation
Open Controls -
I do enjoy reading these news article type posts..
Good work, TW...
By my reckoning, you've got to hope Mignolet and J. Enrique outscore Miyaichi + 7/8pts...
Hmmm, good luck...Open Controls-
thanks! they're fun to write and fun to read others too
think you'll enjoy the news breaking cover story i've got planned which will be coming out later tonight or tomorrow hopefully so check the write ups if u don't see it 😀
only problem is bolton game is being postponed apparently so he will get enrique off the bench so I need mig to get a cs and maybe a save point or two. thanks! how's your tie turning out so far this week?Open Controls

39 points with Migs, Skrtel, Enrique, Walcott, Suarez & RVP to go. Caulker waiting in the wings if any of these lot don't play. Will be hugely unpopular but I'd actually quite fancy an RVP no show (as long as we still win) 😉
Open Controls-
never gonna happen 😉
Open Controls -
Any real chance of that happening? It seems rather unlikely
Open Controls-
I'd say none, unless he gets injured in training.
Unfortunately I think Caulker and his points are going to be agonisingly stuck as 'next available sub in' on my bench for the 3rd week running.Open Controls

Zep care to give me some insight?
Already done Silva>Valencia. Thinking of doing ReoCoker>Siggy for a hit.
Also need to replace Ba.
What do i do? (team linked) got 2.8 in the bankOpen Controls-
Also thinking Demps>Gerrard but that would only be for one week as would want dumpster back for norwich, so probly not worth it right?
Open Controls -
It's not everyday I get singled out for advice...
The third striker is the trouble spot right now, no one really wants to claim it...
As touted in the articles, Balotelli seems to be the best option... I have Suarez for his good fixtures, after that I'm not sure...
I might consider Ade if he can show some form before their amazing run of fixtures...
It's a tough call...Open Controls
-
was that seriously Evans first goal for Utd in any comp? sure I've seen him score before....
Open Controls-
SAF said he's waited 14 years for Evans, and that he "never scored in the Academy either"
So yes.Open Controls -
Open Controls -
apparently he scored when on loan to sunderland 5 years ago
Open Controls -

OK Guys who would your third striker be?
I have Holt, but with his playing time restricted and all I want to get rid of him.
Which option would you rate the best?
a) Adebayor (I have Bale in midfield anyways though)
b)Odemwingie -I remove Morrison for Miyachi or someone cheap
c)Balotelli (whatever maybe written here, you never know if he's going to play, a real punt which I would have taken if I was chasing in my league, but I'm not)
d)Pog - (I already have Dempsey and doubling up on Fulham attackers doesn't look very wise right now)
e) Suarez - I have no Liverpool (not that they've scored many)
f) Ba (doesn't look very good right now, playing up with the other Cisse)
I'm currently leaning towards B.
Any help (including new suggestinos) would be appreciated
I have 2 FTs and 7.1 in the bank.Open Controls-
dont fancy any tbh, maybe drogba.
Open Controls -
Linking your team might help. Anyway, Graham.
Open Controls -
-
Looks good, do you think he's going to continue starting though?
Open Controls
-
-
Don't get rid of him before the Wolves game...
Take the risk. Morison was awful today, Holt might just start and I'd love any striker that's vsing Wolves.Open Controls-
Really I'm not sure if I'll start him because the idea of a 10 min cameo is pretty bad.
Open Controls

-
Cheers guys, thanks for your help 🙂
Open Controls -
Forced to keep Ba for now so I'm looking at Balotelli for 33/34, he can't go any worse than Ba is at the moment, at least when he plays (which has be regularly lately) he usually scores.

Any Chance that Yaya will go absolutely mental vs chelsea and help me not feel bad about the fact that I had almost got Valencia in for him ,just didn't press the confirm transfer button ??
Open Controls-
No.

Which one is better:
Silva ➡ Valencia
Riise & Ben Arfa ➡ Kelly & Valencia (4 point hit)

Save transfer right? got more than capable bench players.. or do i do somethin this week?Open Controls -
Last two GW's my 3 defenders have scored more goals than my 3 forwards 😛
Open Controls-
I told you not to keep Torres :p
Open Controls-
Torres is coming good now 😉
Last week - Ba Suarez RVP
This week - Ba Rooney RVP
I guess it depends on if RVP scores vs Everton though.Open Controls

JOA, how's your gameweek gone so far mate?

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1519310/event-history/29/
And I was honestly going to do Silva > Valencia (-4) but decided against it when Valencia wasn't on the bench vs Bilbao..Open Controls-
darn, tough luck.I just did that transfer about an hour ago. (silva>valencia)
thinking maybe to bring in siggy for a hit but might hold off a couple weeks..Open Controls-
Did Silva > Valencia early too, for no real reason other than the fact I was pissed off I didn't do it this week 🙂
Open Controls-
HA! fair enough it was a decent transfer regardless, valencia on form is fantasy gold!
Do you think its worth bringing in siggy for a hit or just hold off?Open Controls-
Who would you be playing instead?
Open Controls-
team next week without the hit would look like:
vorm
caulker-enrique-kompany-evans
valencia-bale-mcclean
rooney-rvp-ba
Subs: (dumpster-reocoker-williamson)Open Controls-
Looks fine to me, probably not worth a hit.
Who would you play out of Richards (sto) Surman (WOL) and Ba (wba)Open Controls
-
-
-
-
probably ba, richards, surman in that order.
With that said, i dont really follow norwich so dont know how he plays.
Guessing wolves put up a fight after getting thumped by united thoOpen Controls

Morning all. Looking to gw30 and having already used one of my two ft's (silva>valencia) i would appreciate some help with my other options.
1) McClean>Sess
2) Raylor>Verm
3) Raylor>City defender (got no city cover)
4) Carry over the Ft (probably the wise move as 2ft's could be vey handy with pending dgw's)Open Controls-

I really need rvp (c), + gerrard, to have blinders or im out of the fpl cup!!!

whats the chances of spurs v stoke being called off?
Open Controls-
check the bookies for odds
Open Controls -
Zero.
Open Controls-
i heard on the radio (on the way home from work) that stoke and spurs have been in touch with the PL about possibly playing the fixture at a later date, because the spurs team are obviously upset with what happened at the weekend, there's also a tweet saying virtually the same thing on the home page of this site.
Open Controls

-
id say quite high
Open Controls

Is Young->Valencia worth a 4 point hit? If they both start I think there is not much in it. Its just a question of whetehr Young will start? Id imagine with the long break before the next game, Valencia will start again...
Open Controls -
Worth bringing in gallas? Only 4.8 mil and he should be back from injury now as well
Open Controls -
Tony V's sustained composure amazes me.
Unlike Suarez, who's conversion rate is mediocre at best, Tony V's deliveries and also finishes have an astonishing high level of quality.Open Controls-
He's quality. Been hesitating whether to get Nani, Young or Valencia in. All three may be rotated but Valencia, especially at his price looks the most tempting.
Open Controls -
I've always said that Tony V has been lucky and his stats have suggested that his output would decrease over time (i.e. not enough shots on target/key passes) but the more I watch him play then the more I think he is just something else.
He seems to score most chances he has and a lot of his passes seem to find someone in a good position. Such a good player!Open Controls-
yeah, the thought "lucky" also crossed my mind, but I am more and more convinced he is a true gem in unearthing
perhaps more so than Nani. which explain why SAF stated he could also play centre midOpen Controls
-
-
Well, he sure hit the big numbers yesterday. But I am going to give Ashley a game or two more ...
Open Controls-
So should I delay my Young->Valencia move for a week, and avoid a points hit? I dont think there is that much in it, and Young must surely play next week??
Open Controls
-
-
-
surely there should be a rest sign next to balotelli's name in the watchlist.. why is it assumed he's nailed on now?
Open Controls-
mancini loves him. He classifies him amongst messi and ronaldo for some odd reason...
Open Controls -
because he's getting more match time even than aguero at the moment. he is first choice striker
Open Controls -
I agree with Keith to be honest, no-one is safe in that City side at the moment apart from perhaps Hart and Kompany.
Open Controls
-
-
Is it likely Sess's price will drop to say 7.0 or 6.9 before GW30? I really have to get him in
Open Controls -
Folks,
maybe too early for RMT for next GW, but can I leave it like this?
Migonlet (Vorm)
Caulker / Evans / Skrtel
Adam / Siggy / McClean / Valencia
Rooney / RvP / Ba
Subs: Dempsey / Kompany / SantonOpen Controls-
No longer convinced by Ba. The rest look good.
Open Controls
-
-
Surely it has to be 3 bp's each for Siggy and Evans... right?
Open Controls -
Does anyone know why Santon has been getting so little game time lately - has he fallen out with Pardew? I though he was virtually nailed on.
Unfortunately I have this choice of 3rd striker this upcoming game week:
Santon (wba), Kaboul (che) or Kelly S (manu)
Santon is the obvious choice but will probably only get 1 point if lucky. Enrique and Evans are my other 2 btw and I dont want to use my FT to transfer him out this week as I have other plans in mind.
Any ideas?Open Controls-
play kaboul, might as well save the transfer for better usage.
Open Controls-
I would play Kaboul too.
Open Controls
-
-
Santon is disapointing me lately. Other NEW defender would bring me yesterday 6 pts, he only one. I brought him on my WC for Simpson - huge mistake.
Open Controls -
I know how you feel, my choice of defs for next gw30 is: Cahill, Taiwo, Simpson, BAE, Evans
And there's no way I could do swap in defense, since I must bring in Rooney for Ba, which will result in mid sale.
So I'll just play Evans, Cahill and Simpson, hoping for the best!Open Controls

Stoke are a bit out of order trying to get a posponement , real reason they want one is their players all knackered after Liverpool loss.
As for Tottenham players , best thing they can do is get back on the pitch, moping about does nobody any good. To play is good chance for them and the fans , to come together and have a monent of reflection , before sticking five past StokeOpen Controls-
i agree, spurs are fresh and ready to go.
stoke like wounded little farm animals. 🙂Open Controls-

can someone rate my team for next GW please?
Vorm
Enrique / Evans / Skrtel
Bale / Valencia / McClean / Morrison
RVP / Rooney (C) / Suarez
bench : Cahill ,Moses, Senderos
i made 3 transfers this week and take 4pts hit
Ba-Rooney
Dempsy-Valencia
Mata-Morrison
i know that i have kinda cheap MF players but i got 4M in bank now and i will be able to upgrade it in recent weeksOpen Controls-
That Morrison move is kind of weird. Couldn't you keep Mata? Again, could have bench Dempsey and play him after (nice fixtures).
Open Controls-
I get Mata in my team as soon he joined to Chelsa and i've been very frustrated with his preformances(it's not his fault,though)
i have no idea why i get Morrison in when i could easily get siggy but i need to make some ,,wired'' transfers if since i must catch up my ML leader
last season i got luck with odenwingie and i hope that Morrison could get some serious pts next week
Dempsy-i just dont want him in my team anymore cause he play at wing now and it's not a goal threat now,and i dont wanna make same mistake like i did with Ba(keep him in for norwitch)Open Controls

Hey guys I've got 2FTs and am thinking of the crabby Young > Valencia move to raise some funds elsewhere in the team, any recommendations?
Best midfielder for 6.9 mil? Team linked, cheers.Open Controls -

Simpson and SuperSig subbed out prior to kick-off. 🙁
