As the scrap for survival enters the final four Gameweeks of the season, today’s Members article assesses the top performers from the bottom five sides over each side’s respective last four fixtures. Using our own ICT Index and the Opta stats available, we analyse the top five from each of the relegation candidates, assessing their form and the potential offered ahead of what will prove to be a frantic finish to the 2011/12 Premier League campaign. As luck would have it, this also doubles up as an assessment of those players in form amongst the ranks of Villa and Bolton – those teams with two fixtures in Gameweek 35…

Does anyone know how I can find out how many players started in gw2?
Open Controls-
not sure but i think on fpl site it will tell you your overall rank & also your starting gameweek rank

Okey dokey... assuming The Yak & Hoilett are out, who plays up front for Balckburn? Goodwillie?
Gotta sort my Holy Moses team!Open Controls-
Modeste? Rochina?
Open Controls -
Are they both out? Frick. I changed NGog--->Hoilett this week.
Open Controls -
Haven't touched that team since the first GW 😆
Open Controls-
that would explain why you are the only one i beaten in the H2H
Open Controls

I don't want to double up on the Blackburn attack now but I'd have to make an extra transfer otherwise and point hits are costly in this league. Hopefully Hoilett can make it, Yak definitely seems to be out so I'd go for Goodwillie after checking out the team news the night before on here.
Open Controls -
I hear he's talented at penetrating stubborn defences 😉
I'll leave now.Open Controls

Interesting. I kind of lost faith after his performance against Wigan. I think it's a tough one. Although he is at home, Chelsea should be stretched, Sunderland don't have form and Villa should be fighting hard. Hmm, maybe not such a tough one.
Open Controls-
Yup, Sunderland's away form has been brutal lately as well.
Open Controls

Theo it is. I'm still not confident. I've been burned by a high scoring first sub a few times and Sess definitely has the potential to be that. Meh. Let's the roll he dice. I already did Roonpig to Tevdogg. In for a penny in for a pound.
Open Controls-
Sunderland in bottom three of chances created every week pretty much, particularly at home

Need some help with my midfield please guys.
Need to drop one from:
Ryo Bale Valencia Siggy Walcott
Ade RVP Rooney
Please don’t tell me Ryo as I’ve only kept him these last few weeks for the double double!!!
Have 2 x Spurs, Ars and United so guess maybe one of them? Bale purely on form?Open Controls-
Walcott
Open Controls -
I think Ade. He's another that 'should' score big and 'looks' good but he's not really doing it. And he's 'due' a big score but...I'd be tempted to drop him. Although the same could be said and more for Bale. In fact, I'd drop Bale. Forget the first half of this post!
Open Controls
-
Would it be crazy for me to put Simpson ahead of Sess on my bench?
Open Controls-
I always go with the extra midfielder as first sub, regardless of who the defender benched is, or is playing against.
Open Controls-
Me too, typically, which is really why I'm asking. I'm very tempted to go with Simpson, as I can't see Sess having much upside at Villa.
Open Controls
-
-
Going by the number of Simpson CS's that have been left on ppls benches. Its NEW at home. You should be playing him ideally
Open Controls

anyone agree that Dempsey has very hard fixtures coming up and may not be worth bringing in? His DGW are 2 away games to Everton and Liverpool !!! Up until his last away game, he was having a mare away from the cottage
Open Controls-
He's got a pair of decent fixtures either side of the dgw though.
Open Controls -
-
he's basically playing as a striker while Pog is out and is on free kicks and pens. Liverpool's defence is not great and Baines is injured. Good chance of a decent return IMO even if Fulham don't get results
Open Controls

Anybody genuinely considering M Petrov? Seems nailed-on right?
Would come in for McLean...Open Controls-
I've made exactly that same move this week!

Posted as the page moved over to page 2 🙁
Evening all. I am chasing a 30 point lead.
*I have 2 free transfers
Bogdan/Mignolet
Evans/Simpson/Caulker/Kompany/Mcauley
Valencia/Mclean/Bale/Siggy/Walcott
Adebeyor/Rooney/RVP
A: Walcot–>HBA
B: Rooney –> Aguero
C: Both of the above?
D: Anything else you would suggest?
Thanks allOpen Controls-
Walcott to Dempsey?
Open Controls-
Leader has Dempsey, and I said to myself Id never get him in. Weird one. Its a case of just preying he doesn't do anything...
Open Controls-
I don't think you have enough dgw players for gw 36. Could maybe bring 1 in this week so far and use the other 2 next week to get even more? Does he have Cisse?

Come on people, must be a few persons more who didn't ask a "ROONEY/RVP to TEVEZ/AGUERO" questions on this site... Let's hear it 😀

I haven't asked it. Then again, since GW33 I have had ALL of them 🙂

Verm or bae to play?
I am the only one that has verm but i sm cuurenlty leading my mini league. Everybody else will probably start with tot defenders.Open Controls -
what is the probability that Aguero will be benched vs Wolves ?
Open Controls -
Who to play in 2 positions
Enrique or Walker
Sess or Miyaichi(not played much but i took a hit so could even it out)Open Controls -
Hi guys, next week I was planning on doing Rooney/Silva/Sess > Cisse/Dempsey/VDV (-4pts) which will give me the following team with 8 *DGWeekers
*Krul (Vorm)
*Kaboul, *Enrique, *Santon (Evans, McAuley)
*Dempsey, *VDV, Walcott, Siggy (Valencia)
*Cisse, *Adebayor, RVP
ML leader has same 3 strikers and I’m trying to catch up 37pt deficit. Should I
a) Go ahead as above and hope rest of team makes up the points
b) Also do Walcott > Mata/Lampard for a –8 to give me extra DGW cover
c) Keep Rooney and do Sess/Silva/Valencia > HBA/Dempsey/VDV
d) Anything else?
Any opinions will be gratefully received
ThanksOpen Controls-
Walcott to bale?
Open Controls-
Or pienaar if you like a punt..
Open Controls-
I have considered Pienaar as their fixtures after the double are worth keeping him for - I might have a look at that again. Cheers 🙂
Open Controls
-
-
I couldnt have Bale and VDV even if I wanted them as it would give me 4 Newcastle players, unless you mean to bring in Bale instead of VDV?
thanks thoughOpen Controls-
Didn't see kaboul, apologies. How about some everton cover as they've got a double and play wolves in gw37
Open Controls-
Sorry do you mean bring in an Everton player as well as in option c) for an 8pt hit?
Open Controls-
Actually C looks good - I suppose Walcott could be saved and stay on the bench for 36 as the rest of the team is good. He has a nice last 2 fixtures and could be a good differential over those last two games.

I wouldn't do b, Chelsea have CL and FA Cup final coming up so there's bound to be rotation.
I like the look of c.Open Controls-
I like c) the best, I'm just worried about Cisse. I'm being clobbered by his points each week 🙁
Do you reckon HBA should do ok if I bring him in instead?Open Controls-
I think HBA will do well, but not quite as well as Cisse! It's a tricky one, maybe see how things go this weekend before deciding.

Transfer Plan for the next two GW's:
2 Transfers GW35: Moses -> Pienaar
2 Transfers GW36: Valencia -> Bale
Verm -> Cashley
Rooney -> Adebayor
This would leave me with 8 DGW players without a hit?
How does it look? 🙂Open Controls-
How come thats no hit?
For x2 double trades on the spin?
Apols, if I am losing the plot?!Open Controls-
that's what I was thinking.
Open Controls -
Ooops typo 😆
4 point hitOpen Controls-
-
Shhhh 😉
Open Controls
-
-
In that's case, don't do the defender trade. Not worth it. You would need x2 cleanes and none for verm to make a net 6pt gain. That's is unlikely.
If verm keeps a a clean, and cole x2 cs = 2pt gain.
Anything other scenario your at a loss. Keep your 4pts my friend... 🙂Open Controls
-
-
How is that even possible? For three transfers in GW 36 you are surely taking a hit.
Open Controls-
Yes, I am. See above.
Open Controls

that would cost -4...
Open Controls -

Ok, after all that, does anyone actually have any opinions on it all?

Thanks, EVS mentioned it above. Will re-think it now.

typo or just being a bit.... special? 😉

This week only: Dempsey or Nasri?
Open Controls -
Chasing 25 pts on mini league leader, about 60 ish in front of 3rd. He has Sir Clint and Siggy and Cisse, I have Suarez Walcott and Sess
Transferred our Rooney(he has also) and McClean for Tevez(c) and HBA
One week punt on King Carlos and back to Cisse for DGW
9k ranking is highest of the season but money mini league far more important!!Open Controls -
Afternoon all, I'm having a nightmare picking my 11 for this week, team as follows:
Krul/vorm
Evans/verm/rafael/BAE/turner
Siggy/sess/bale/valencia/walcott
Rvp/aguero/cisse
I've got vorm, Evans, BAE and sess benched, but I've been changing it all week- any bright ideas?Open Controls -
Given (Mignolet)
Evans - Vermaelen - Turner (Caulker,McAuley)
Bale - Dempsey(c) - Valencia - McClean (Britton)
RVP - Rooney - Adebayor
Which looks best??
A) Rvp out Cisse in this week - Given & McAuley out nextweek Cech & Assou-Ekotto in (-4)
B) McAuley out Santon/Williamson or Bolton defender in Vermealen out Ekotto in nextweek
C) Britton out Reo-Coker in Vermealen out Ekotto in nextweekOpen Controls -
Sess for the sunderland attacking probability
Or Miyachi for his 2 games?Open Controls -

Schwarzer or Mignolet this week?
Open Controls -
Right, On the verge of doing......
RVP + Walcott ➡ Tevez + Dempsey (No hit)
RVP shall return GW37.
Shall I pull the trigger?!Open Controls-
By the end of the first match of this gameweek I think you won't be happy...
Open Controls -
keep one or the other Parm, don't sell both. I shipped Theo, but I still have RvP.
Theo is coming back in 37.Open Controls -
ship rooney instead.

Don't be so silly.

Yup, imho... but wait until tomorrow unless absolutely necessary. I am not going Citeh attack my self (clenches).

Must be a little generic, but how does this team look for the DGW?
G: Schwarzer*
D: Simpson*. Assou-Ekotto*/Ashley Cole*. Vermaelen
M: Bale*. Mata*. Dempsey*. Sigurdsson
F: Papiss Cisse*. Jelavic*. RVP
Apart from Mata, anything else you might want to change? I'm taking a punt on him as a differential in my league.Open Controls-
Out of interest, How many points do those 8 dgws players cost you over next 2 weeks?
Open Controls-
-
Does the include hits for defenders?
If so, which ones?Open Controls
-
-
-
If Baines is fit I'd get him in defence. I'd be tempted to play Vorm (WOL) over Schwarzer with 2 away games.
Open Controls -
That looks great. BAE over ACole depending on the Chelsea in/ or out of CL issue.

Given and Petrov for me. Bogdan benched.

Petrov on pens and set pieces for me. Happy to have him in next week as well. Bolton are rubbish, but he should be close to the goals and assists if they get any over their next 4.

plus they have something to fight for. Makes a big difference (or should).
