Mark Carlos Tevez takes the title race and the Gameweek by the scruff of the neck with a stunning display in City’s merciless mauling of Norwich. United duly picked up the gauntlet, however, with a four-goal drubbing of Villa this afternoon.
Our Members can lose themselves in the statistics from all of the Gameweek’s matches so far – here’s our pick of the key numbers, together with our thoughts on the destination of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bonus points…
Osman or Pienaar, guys?
Pienaar
Krul
Evans Simpson Kompany
Bale Valencia Walcott Sigurdsson
RVP Rooney Cisse(C)
Migs Sess Caulker Sagna 0.3m 1FT
A) Save
B) Walcott > Dempsey
C) Rooney > Aguero (C), Valencia > Dempsey -4
D) Other
Is Aguero the safe choice out of him and Tevez?
Which is worse
Young diving or Terry not telling the ref the ball didnt cross the line (saw this on bbc)
Equally bad. No honour among thieves.
In fairness Young was tripped but made a meal of it, Terry celebrated as if he stuck one in the top corner from 30 yards, also Mata, dispicable
* despicable
I would say it has to be the diving - but I agree with Ballacks, it was a penalty, but Young launched himself skywards to exaggerate the point in case the referee was in any doubt. With the Chelsea 'goal' - well, we all see things differently based on the advantage it gives us - for example, I didn't see either of the Rooney assists v Bolton, and Dempsey's header was clearly going wide before it hit Cahill on the arse - so I'd equate that with Mata/Terry hoping the ball had crossed the line - my perception is cluded by what I hoped had happened - but a dive, or to go down clutching your face when a hand has brushed your chest is a pre-meditated act of deception. Far worse than claiming a ball has crossed the line when you only hope it has, in my opinion.
Sorry for another repost.
Whom to get for free Tevez or Kun? (wanna ditch Rooney)
Who is on penalties for Man City?
This is my dilemma
Tevez or Kun, Kun or Tevez - i feel Kun is safer start wise...agueros normally on pens but Tevez was always a pen taker before Kun was on the scene at city
no reason Kun would suddenly be off pens unless he missed one/not on the pitch
From opinions around here, it's said Kun should be on pen.. But no one knows actually.
I'm leaning to Tevez. He's more risk but City can only do well with him.
I was so sure to bring Dempsey in for Gw35.. But I'm not sure what to do now.
How should I fit Dempsey into this team?
Schwarzer (WIG) | Vorm (bol)
Evans (EVE) - Simpson (STO) - Vermaelen (CHE)
Siggy (bol) - Valencia (EVE) - Walcott (CHE) - Bale (qpr)
Rooney (EVE) - Aguero (wol) - RvP (CHE)
Sub :: Vorm, Sess., BAE, Turner
A: Sess. > Dempsey + Valencia > HBA ... 2 DGW players, but Valencia in excellent form.
B: Direct swap .. Walcott > Dempsey ... Walcott in good form too.
Your comment please.
yeah it's tough.
A is better IMO, will you play BAE in DGW?
In your opinions are there any Chelsea DFs that are nailed on for DGW
Right a lot of wild card pondering to do for next week.
Of the non DGWers i'm thinking i'll keep Evans and Valencia. Play RVP and Gylfi and really want to hold onto Vermaelen for Arsenal's final 2 fixtures.
Spurs out of the cup means 3 are coming in. Bale, Adebayor and either Friedel or Walker / BAE.
Chelsea i'll probably avoid altogether 2 many games in an old squad- if funds allow possibly Cech. If Luiz is seriously injured possibly Cahill.
Liverpool: Good luck, stay away.
Everton: Baines 100% possibly one other.
Fulham: Dempsey against rested crap Liverpool 100% possibly Kelly too.
Bolton: Pass
Stoke: Maybe Huth or Shawcross
Newcastle: Tricky, their final 2 matches are tough. Probably Cisse and maybe Ben Arfa or Simpson but don't think i'd want 3 of their considering GW 37 and 38.
I'm thinking 9 DGW players:
Friedel (Bogdan)
Baines, Simpson (Vermaelen, Evans)
Gylfi, Dempsey, Bale (Valencia)
RVP, Adebayor, Cisse
+ roughly £12.5m to get a DGW defender & mid)
Huth and Pienaar spreads it around
Maybe I'm a little late to the game here but did anyone see the reports about Drenthe being dropped by Moyes regarding "an internal issue"?
Theres a tweet about it on the front page being a "disciplinary issue" hardly surprising seems the fiery sort
Does Ben Arfa fit into my team anywhere this week?
Dempsey Sigg Valencia Bale
Cisse RVP Tevez
For some reason I would feel more comfortable captaining Tevez over Aguero..
you own them both?
Walcott ➡ Dempsey a good use of my free transfer this week?
Anyone ditching Valencia? Didnt go past the Villa left back an awful deal today and looked a bit lethargic
I was pondering that myself.
This is just wrong. Sell Tony if you'd like, but you just can't *make up* fictionalized game reports.
Dude, entitled to my opinion.
Maybe I'm criticising as he has been so good lately
Didnt see the Wigan game but a few people said on here he looked tired
To an opinion, not to your own facts.
He has the fourth highest ICT index, behind only Tevez, Aguero, and Rooney.
5th highest influence behind the above + Welbz.
2nd highest in creativity behind only Silva.
And if you watched the game today, the entire offense traveled down his side, at least until Nani got on. Saying he didn't get past Lichaj a lot today is really, really wrong.
Just saying.
Good stats, and fair enough.
But everyone on here agrees Rooney was dire today and he has a high ICT index!
still got an assist
I don't own him though
I went a different route and doubled on defence
Other than Wednesday night it worked well.
Really? I thought he looked great today and could have had a few assists. e.g. Drilling a low ball across to Welbeck which should have gone in.
just seemed reluctant to go by the defender at times
take your point
Got an assist, but Valencia would ruin any left back, the Villa guy was quite lucky today I think.
OK folks
VdV or Mata for DGW
VdV - great fixtures but not much form for him or Spurs
Mata - might not play both games, but is in great form and should play v QPR whom he could destroy
Im thinking about Mata myself. Might take out Walcott for him.
VDV. On pens. Guaranteed play time.
Chelsea scored 4 today and Mata just picked up an assist I think.
and a goal
(even though it wasn't a goal)
Plus DAD is on pens, not VdV
2 assists and a disputed goal i think
didnt he play in malouda for the 5th as well ?
yes he did. Could do well, but I fancy HBA/Pienaar/Bale/VDV to all outscore him.
Own Bale
Will have 3 Newcaslte
Is Jelavic, Baines AND Pienaar too much Everton
VdV still under consideration
Mata is an option to be switched in for Clint in 38, but with the way Spurs are defending Clint could easily net v them
Much will be decided after GW35
A lot of rooney out posts.. how'd he look tonight? know he scored,... but was he threatenin throughout? tempted by Cisse/Tevez/Aguero in for him
He was pretty poor imo.. But then again, he still produced the goods!
Agree with this.
He was rubbish and still scored 2, not a bad attribute to have
+1
Something Man U have done over the years as a team
He was dire. Looked unfit and uninterested. Gave the ball away repeatedly. Truly terrible.
he was poor allright...says a lot about villa
Still produced goals which was good but if Tevez or Aguero had been playing against that Villa side I would have thought they'd have grabbed a few more. I reckon I'll sell him for one of the City lads against Wolves then maybe bring him back in.
thanks lads.. food for thought..
Mignolet or Friedel next weekend?
My team:
Vorm
Verm BAE Evans
Valencia Sess Walcott Dempsey
Rooney RVP Cisse
Bogdan; McClean, Caulker, McAuley
2FTs, 1.9mill. Should I do the following this week?
1)Rooney + Sess -> Aguero + Bale
or
2)Rooney + McClean -> Aguero + HBA
Sidenote: Who would you play in GW35, Bogdan or Vorm?
Cheers guys.
59,887 here 🙂
Average of 27
57k gameweek rank
1,930 overall score. Not bad with Siggy, Rooney (and maybe Evans) BPs plus RvP (c), Verm and Theo to go.
Should break 2k next week 🙂
1934 here, delighted given my miserable start to the season (99 points after the first 3 rounds 😆
who you have left?
1934? Are you the Magic Grandad? What was Fantasy Football like in those days? Load up on Herbert Chapman's Arsenal?
Cliff Bastin FTW
Currently on 1971 + RVP (C) Walcott, Verm and BP's. May break 2k this week!!
I know there are teams missing this week but an average of 27 is way below what I would have thought!
maybe it's all the smartarses with players on bench
Yep, guilty as charged. 37 on the pitch, 24 on the bench!!
smartarse 😉
ooh update. 27 average? Tasty.
You're due another green arrow, the Emperor has forseen this.
Bit of a problem.
Do i play Miyaichi for the DGW and have to drop one of Sess, Walcott, Siggy, Valencia
Or do i not play Miyaichi?
why didnt you just start them?
Do we reckon Tevez will start against Wolves?
Have the trolls gone to bed yet? It's been a very trolly day.
Forget the GW36 double GW.
GW34 could go down as the week when titles were won and lost.
I have gone from 180k to 140k and still have my captain (RVP) to play...this after losing points to the Aguero (C) and Rooney (C) people.
Is Baines, Pineaar & Jelavic too much Everton cover for the DGW and final two games? I will already have Baines & Jelavic but can't think of a better DGW midfielder that also has decent fixtures for GW37&38 (exc Chelsea who just will suffer too much rotation for me.
Any thoughts?
Bare in mind they now have nothing to play for
This is the main thing that is holding me back. They have good form/fixtures but like you say, they don't have that much to play for, although I know they would definately want to finish above Liverpool.
Any idea about other possible DGW players? I already have Bale & Dempsey.
Both good shouts. Cisse is a good shout. Possibly Cahill if Louis is out.
Tempted to go Walcott > Dempsey but think I'll regret it. Theo teared Chelsea a new one at Stamford Bridge and can see him doing it again..
Ahh what to do! 😐
