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…

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

        I was hoping Spurs would pick up some niggles since my ML rival has Bae/Bale/Ade.

        Just hope Enrigue gets gametime again...

    Is it just me or do newcatsle have bad fixtures from DGW until the end of the season? Because of that, I'm not especially leaning towards investing in HBA or Cisse, might backfire but I'd rather go Ade + Bale.

    We both have Verm, Walcott and RVP (C) left but he also has Moses to play.

    Good morning FFS!!

    Some mood swings over the weekend saw a lot of debates and planning for Rooney > Tevez/Aguero. I'm so far happy with only Aguero and sure not to double City upfront. The question now is to bring in Dempsey or not and how..

    Bale - Siggy - Valencia - Walcott - (Sessegnon)
    Aguero - RvP - Rooney

    I can play above team now. To watch Walcott tonight and make decision between...

      Good evening!

      I am in the same boat as you.

      Would be less transfers to just do Walcott to Demps but I don't want to lose him. But it seems I have too as I have no other funds available.
      Also I am unsure about HBA as Newc games all seem difficult, unlike TOT and EVE.
      I will do Sess to Pienaar though.

      Also thinking of Aguerro->Cisse for 36.

        Aguero is a beast at home. I'm now planning to keep him for big match on Gw36. It will be Rooney > Cisse for me. Btw, Pienaar is interesting choice... 🙂

                I've got a sneaky feeling mata could be rested at camp nou, if we're out of the battle (down by 3 goals).

                Mata was immense last night (even if you remove that controversial goal). He's certainly got the fixtures to further boost his potential. I think RDM realized against Fulham (for the second time) that benching Mata doesn't work.

    Repost, as no replies so far... although Baines' injury has thrown an unexpected spanner in the works. 🙁

    My current team is this:

    Vorm / Bogdan
    Vermaelen / Baines / Evans / Caulker / Turner
    Walcott / Dempsey / Valencia / Sigurdsson / McClean
    Van Persie / Rooney / Adebayor

    2 free transfers and 0,3M in the bank.

    For GW 35 I’m thinking of:

    Rooney / McClean Cisse / Bale

    and then for GW 36:

    either Caulker or Turner Gallas

    The only problem is that by doing this I’d probably have to bench Valencia for GW 35.

    Does the plan make sense?

    While the DGW is fast approaching there is another feature of the FPL end-game that I thought I would add to the mix: the mid-table doldrums. At what point do certain teams start their summer break?
    This season is all the more interesting as there are six team that are already caught in this trap – no prospect of European football and no threat of relegation. These are Fulham, Sunderland, Norwich, Swansea, West Brom and Stoke. Is there any strong evidence that form dips at this stage in the season and would this influence decisions for using DGW players from Stoke or Fulham or retaining value players like Siggy.

    orning all, which option do you think?
    Have issues with Yak and Nasri. Current front 8 is:
    Valencia, Dempsey, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Nasri
    Rooney, RVP, Yak

    Have issues with Yak and Nasri - but at the same time if I replace both of them I have to bench somebody and everybody else there has a playable fixture - if I were to bench anybody it would probably be Valencia. Am worried about my lack of DGW players also, probably more than my lack of City cover. So which option do you think?

    Is Cahill definitely going to be out for the DGW then?

    Was planning on playing him.. Should I be looking to get rid?

      Damn right. I know that other teams can point to other players missing out from injury. But saylor was a mainstay of the best defence (actually probably 2nd, after city) in the league. He has missed more than half the season. If he was fit, (and to a lesser extent marveaux too) where would we be now?? We definitely (probably!) wouldn't have lost the games away to norwich and home to west brom if he was playing for a start!

        Jees I don't know about Marveaux man. I reckon LFC medical staff really got that call spot on. Think he could be the one other sour note of yer season.

      We the people I mean :-). As a fan of football it's nice when you watch players evolve into a top player and I think we missed out on that this year.

    Still annoyed that I played the fixtures to get Sess.

    If I hadn't got him, then Siggy would have stayed as my captain.

    In the words of Gob Bluth "I've made a tiny huge mistake"

      Also annoying is that fact that it was really a wasted transfer... could have used / saved it bring in another DGW player. Pants all round really, considering I had him captain as well.

            I made a big mistake earlier in the season when Stoke and Sunderland both had very good run of fixtures with a load of homes in there.

            Cost me massively. I obviously have not learned from my original mistake.

        Yep wasted transfer, still will stick with him now for the DGW I reckon.

        Although Pienaar is one of the few midfielders I actually fancy outside Bale (due to rotation).
