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…
Think it's a bit unfair of the QPR players in the picture above all pointing and laughing at the fat bloke on the right. Agree?

Anyway else reckon Wigan are due to revert to type and have a poor game against Fulham? Yes they beat Utd & Arsenal and ran Chelsea close, but can they keep that up? really want to bring Dempsey in for Sess?
Open ControlsTough 1. They certainly have surprised of late.
I have opted to go without Dempsey this week & for the DGW so hoping they can keep it tight.Open Controls
questions:
1) will baines be better for the dgw?
2) if so, does it make sense to get him?Open ControlsI doubt there will be any more clarity knowing Moyes. Avoid.
Open Controlsi think he will..
Open ControlsI'd avoid TW. With a tight hamstring and Eve nothing to play for, I doubt Moyes will risk Baines 3 games in a week.
Open ControlsHey btw, hope you can wrap up the HOF soon. Don't want to keep it till the last week after you putting in so much work. We'll have to make sure that managers know that they're in the HOF and a gw37 announcement is ideal 🙂
Open Controlsgood call. all my plans involved him so now im back to the drawing board.
yeahh i'll try to find time. got back from spain and been sick so right now priorities are to get better, catch up on missed school work and figure out gw 36 plans. as soon as those are done i'll get working away at HOF. can you remind me, how many matchdays do i have left to do for the HOF?Open ControlsSure mate. Get well soon 🙂
It ends in gw38. So I was hoping you could have the final announcement of the HOF winners before that GW starts.Open Controls
Morning ENR - you on your Wc yet? Getting some Citey action?
Open ControlsMorning Tina! I don't think I'm going to risk it - it's a difficult act balancing fixtures of gw36-38 in my WC draft. Tried to bring in gw35 into the equation and failed miserably.
Still contemplating RVP > Tevez. Waiting on Mancini's presser to see if we have any Djoker news.Open ControlsHow about yourself? Getting City for the Top 1k surge?
Open ControlsAlso having 2nd thoughts. Thinking I've worked hard for 34 gameweeks and I should let the buggers behind me take all the risks.
Hoping for a small green arrow to keep the process going and then a possible 3 DGW trade ins(-4) to give me 8 DGW players.Open ControlsI'd be skeptical of doing it, if not for the WC.
Lot of risk involved but then again no risk no gain. I think it really boils down to what you think the scorelines will be for Ars, Utd, Mcy.Open ControlsWell I'm not expecting much from Rvp/Walcott, but I'm keeping to cover ML rivals. Walcott is a gonner next week.
Rooney is also owned by both ML rivals and will probably be (c) by both. Thing is my feeling is Kun will outscore Rooney, especially considering I will (c) Kun and not Rooney, if I keep him.
I might then also decide to keep Kun for the City derby if Ade doesn't deliver this week or gets injured rotated.
For me it's more a matter of am I better off with 7 or 8 DGW players.Open Controls
why would you not to rooney to tevez instead? unless you dont have him... can't see your team cuz fpl doesn't seem to be working right now...
Open ControlsCos I can't see Arsenal getting more than 1-2 goals. Whereas you could make a case for a few Utd goals and Rooney's been amongst them whenever they come. Unfortunately, in the last 10 Arsenal goals, RVP has scored only once.
Open Controlsi guess. could go either way tbh.
my predictions btw 😀

Will Pog(Ful) be back from inj for Wigan(h)? If not I assume Clinton is still up front?
Open ControlsHave exactly enough for mclean to Barfa..(Free transfer) do i do it and bench Adebayor? (already startin bale) front 8 is
Dempsey Bale Valencia Siggy Mclean
Rvp Rooney AdebayorOpen ControlsBarfa or Ade in this case. Tight call. Maybe wait to pull thr trigger, not much gained this week & u'll have more info next week to work with.

Anyone know anything about the Yak. he has been a really good low budget player for me and I want to play him. At 50% though on the site!
Open ControlsJust worked out from team values (and the last two days' rises/falls) that my friendly rival has not brought in Aguero or Tevez in his 2 transfers this week. Surprised me, I have to say.
Open ControlsYou need to get laid. ASAP. To much time on your hands.
😀Open Controlsthat's what I was thinking. haha
Open ControlsIt only takes a couple of minutes! Very few people rose or fall the last two days. But Tevez rose yesterday and Aguero today. Team value tells me the rest.
Open ControlsWhat takes only a fee minutes? getting laid?
LOLOpen Controls
How can u work this out?
Open ControlsFairly easy. Take what he has in the bank on a given day. Add to the players sell value he is likely to transfer out. See what he has in the bank after transfer made and work out what was spent on new player. Look at players of that price and you can pretty much guess who was brought in.
I've just started doing it and managed ito get it right five of the last six GWsOpen ControlsOh and I get laid plenty thanks.....I live in Singapore!!
Open ControlsIt does sound like a lot of effort though. And like Christina said below, in general I'd rather not know. I do what I do because it's my choice, not because I'm worried about someone else. (In general, anyway. This week has screwed with my head. I think it's the lack of decent captain choice, as much as anything.)
Open Controls
Yes I've been doing this all season and reckon it's given me the upper hand. I've guessed his transfers almost every week and allowed me to build a 53pt lead......
Open ControlsCan't see the benefit, unless it's an h2h league. So what if you know your rival has Kun/Tevez? You still don't know if they might be rested or miss a peno's get injured etc.
It might just influence you in doing the same or something that you regret later.
The less I know the better.Open Controls
Ok so fairly certain I'll be getting Barfa & Ade in for the DGW. So question is do I do it this week & both play or wait till next week & play Rooney/McClean this GW?
Open Controls- Open Controls
mcclean to barfa this week. maybe keep rooney and swap to ade next week
Open Controlsyeh cannot afford. spot on. It's both or none.
Leaning towards doing it. Sunderland have died, & talk of rotation. Barfa on Fire. Rooney by all reports not been to positive on the pitch and shouldn't expect much from Everton, Ade much the same so no real loss there?Open Controls
Should I play Vorm or Friedel this week?
Open ControlsCollins - talk to me....
So he's not great and neither is Villa, in fact they're tragic, but.....
.....this week both games are at home. The first will be a 0-0 snooze fest, with both teams happy with a point and both teams almost on holiday. The second against Bolton, could also easily be a CS.
6 + 6 = 12, stick the armband on that and you've bagged yourself 24pts.
But then you're stuck with him for the DGW and beyond.....any thoughtsOpen Controlscurrent team:
vorm, mig
verm, enrique, simpson, evans, kelly
dempsey, walcott, valencia, sess, siggy
rvp, tevez, cisse
1ft next week but willing to take a hit and possibly even two
looking at this team, what would YOU DO? just curious other peoples thoughts and making sure im not missing any possibilitiesOpen ControlsIs kompany and silva enough city coverage or should I get a city forward as well?
I was going to save my transfer till next week but not sure nowOpen ControlsKun and Aguero are the most likely to steal the show...Kompany should get you CS though, Silva has a chance of goal but don't expect a haul from them.
I'm leading and I went for Tevez, seems better choice given Rooney poor against Everton and on-form City against dire Wolves.Open Controls
Guys, if given the choice, would you prefer...
A) 25 point lead in ML...with Ade.
B) 21 point lead in ML...with Cisse.
Cheers 🙂Open ControlsOn the verge of doing Krul+Verm to Cech+Walker.. Worth it? Or should I get Kaboul/King instead?
Open ControlsWhy are you getting rid of Krul - that is crazy - a home game followed by a double = keep. Any help on the below?
Open Controls- Open Controls
Need some advice on the following!?
GW 36 Transfers
McClean >> Peinaar
Clichy >> Cahill
Aguero >> Adebayor (4-point hit) Will see how he does at the weekend first
Option 2) Clichy >> Terry
Aguero >> Jelavic
Option 3) McClean >> Peinaar
Aguero >> Cisse
With GW37 Bring in Moses and take out McCleanOpen ControlsNeed to get some funds to do Bendtner to Cisse, I think I will go with Verm to Wheater, but could also do Valencia to someone like HBA - any thoughts (those two are my only options and I need to free up 1.7m)?
Open ControlsValencia to Pienaar maybe? Looking at that myself.

Good morning! Which 3 would people play this week from:
Skrtel, Evans, Santon, Caulker & KompanyOpen ControlsEvans and Komp definitely. Skrtel is an interesting one - good game on paper. I'd be tempted by him. The other two are decent shouts too though. Santon over Caulker, I think.
Open Controls
I'm getting Dempsey in for Walcott this week. Is it worth taking a 4 pt hit to get in James Collins fellas?
Any help appreciated..Open ControlsNot for a hit. Would need 2 clean sheets to get you 8 points

Looking at wc teams for gw36 how does this look?
Cech (Bodgan)
BAE, Sktrel, N.Taylor (Verm. Evans)
Bale, Dempsey, HBA, Siggy (Valencia)
Cisse, Ade, Jelavic
Leaving enough in the bank to do Cisse > Rvp gw37Open ControlsIt's people with teams like that, who makes it impossible for me to get a top 1k finish.
😡Open ControlsCan see some massive scores out of this GW for wildcarders! Shattering! Im only top of my ML by 15 odd points, 2nd has a wildcard. Scary thought!
Open ControlsSame here. I'm 14 ahead from no 2 and 40 ahead of no 3. No WC for any of us. No 2 has 3 DGW and no 3 has 6 DGW's.
Open Controls
Envy those with a WC for GW 36. There's a really big haul for taking there. Good luck, hope u get the selections right! This team looks cracking!
Open ControlsSkrtel in a WC team ????
Other than that, it looks brilliant !!Open ControlsGet rid of Skrtel and Naylor, imo.
Get in Everton/Chelsea def/Huth.Open Controlswell done for hanging on to your wc for so long and in a good rank, I hope the DGW pays off for you!
Open Controls
Is it stupid for me to consider SImpson ahead of Sess on my bench (playing Krul already, assuming he's fit).
Open ControlsI'm doubling up with Krul/Simpson & Vorm/Caulker. It's worked well so far this season.
Open Controls
I can see what's going to happen. Come Gw37 we are all going to lick our wounds with Walters and Sturridge being the highest scorers of gw 36. Lots of dead teams will score well.
Watch.Open ControlsAny Chelsea fans think there will be a striker to play both games for DGW? or will it be Droggy 1 game Torres the other? Sturridge likely to play both?
Open ControlsAnyone checked the Best Goal Celebrations selection on that 20 Seasons of the Premier League thing (http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/20-seasons.html) - they're all pretty crap to be honest.
Toss up between Cantona & Lua Lua.....
Ketsbaia would be sent off for his now. Suprised they have that up there - deranged anticsOpen ControlsI loved one from tino in a european game (so wouldn't be on the list), against halmstads or ferencvaros I believe. Ran to the corner flag, put his shirt on it and waved it above his head. Brilliant!! He would have probably have been sent off for that too!
Open ControlsBut China mate, what was Ketsbaia's issue there, kicking the advertising boards? I've worked in Georgia and they're a pretty hot head bunch, but he was going crazt there.
Open Controls
Did Robbie Fowler's 18 yard line one make the list? 🙂
Open Controls
Verm or Enrigue to play?
