The Big Numbers – Gameweek Thirty Two

Mikel Arteta’s ferocious drive looks to have sealed the title for Man United, who earlier disposed of 10-man QPR with predictable ease at Old Trafford to open up an eight point gap on neighbours City. With a 24-hour turnaround on the Gameweek, here’s our guide to some of the key statistics from the events of the last three days, along with a view on where the Fantasy Premier League bonus points could be heading…

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

    Which to bench? Bale, Siggy or Demps? Maybe Bale not playing will make my mind up.

        I think making sure you've got enough mids/attackers is the priority.

    This would have been the dumbest questions 4 weeks ago! Now it’s the most important question of the week.

    Whom to captain?

    A: Papiss Cisse
    or
    B: Robin van Persie

    I am leaning to Dave myself, as he’s on fire and Newcastle love scoring goals at home. Bolton defense are shambles. RVP’s goals have dried up in recent weeks, but we know he can score 3-4 goals in this game.

        Haha didn't help too much.
        This is how I see it:

        One of em has to go in time for GW34. In the build up to, and including the dgw, Bale has by far the superior fixtures, and was lookin pretty dangerous against Swansea. Dempsey however has a few delicious home games, and with the Pog perhaps still out and with him looking very dangerous OOP, he may continue to play up front and score well

      Same conundrum here. Bale/Dempsey will be going for Sess/Walcott by GW 34. Question is do I bring Walcott in this week, and for which? Leaning toward pulling the trigger on Bale-> Walcott.

    I have 2FT’s and £0.4m in the bank. I only plan on using 1FT and carry the other one to next week.

    Which player would you get rid of with GW33/34 in mind?

    Schwarzer Mignolet

    Evans Baines Caulker Ridgewell Wilkinson

    Walcott Valencia Dempsey Siggy Bale

    RVP Rooney Holt

        Haha classic! Just aswell I said I would wait to see how the game at Arsenal would turn out.

        Anything standing out that needs done?

        Wilko > Turner

        Bale > ???

        Holt > Graham/Yak

          Bale->Sess next week I suppose, Wilko->Turner looks good.
          Keep Holt for the timebeing.

    Thinking doing Bale -> Lennon & Tony V -> Nani (C) need to gain some points on the leader. What do you guys think?
