Everton stun United at Old Trafford to leave the door ajar for City and set up a momentous Manchester derby. City did the business as expected at Molineux, with Sergio Aguero netting for the third consecutive game to bring the title race to the boil.
Our Members can dive into the statistics from all the Gameweek’s action so far, with our selection of the key numbers to follow, along with a view on the possible destination of the Fantasy Premier League bonus points…
Krul.
Caulker, Riise, Walker.
Dempsey, Pienaar, VDV(c), Petrov, McClean.
Rooney, RVP.
Bench: Vorm; Yakubu, Kompany, Evans.
Kompany to Cahill and bench Riise?
English bias in the PFA young player award? take nothing away from kyle walker but surely aguero was more deserving
Aguero was already a top player. Walker has come up leaps and bounds in a team that was challenging for the title for around 2/3 of the Season. He's done very well.
It's the young player of the year award,not the most improved young player of the year award though.
How old's Aguero? 24-25? Young player of the year?
Okay...
How do they define young player award? Whats the max age.
how many newcastle players is everybody going for in gw36?
although in form neither of their fixtures are remotely easy
@wig will be fighting for survival
@che fighting newcastle for 3rd/4th/5th
Simpson, Cabaye, Cisse
Bale
Not sure.
Both are hit or miss. Bale has the higher potential though.
Definitely. You can imagine Bale producing a hefty double figure return. Pienaar not so much.
Already have Bale. Need to bring in another mid to replace Theo. Pienaar or VDV?
I was in a similar position and chose VDV and have him captain atm
Their fixtures ARE more tasty, I guess. You might have me convinced. It's just that he hasn't been producing much of late against some sides that are equally crap.
I think he's played quite well and has been unlucky. And Blackburn and Bolton are desperately fighting for 3pts, meaning they should be open at the back and more prone to clumsy tackles. Hopefully he's on pens and fks.
Everton are the DGW team to have.
8 goals in the last two doesn't even tell half the story. Those 8 goals have come at Old trafford and with their second string side against a resolute Sunderland.
4 goals in the two games before that and with arguably the nicest fixtures of the GW, you've got to be doubling up for sure.
Good point, im definately getting in Jelavic anyway.
But i think Tottenham have the best fixtures
best 5 midfielders to have for the GW? in order from #1 to #5
A key decision this week is coming up, one which will almost certainly be a massive part of my potential PP cup 1/4 final tie (2 mini leagues won and other rival has sown up) ...
Pienaar or VDV?
Got Bale and BAE. Adding Jelavic for Aguero (who was only a one week fling). If i get Pienaar then I can do Papiss--->Wayne for last 2 games of season.
Howard, Mignolet
Evans, Kompany, Santon, Enrique, Caulker
Song, Yaya Toure, Sessegnon, Sigurdsson, Valencia
Cisse, Rooney, Van Persie
There’s only 6 points separating me from my brother but I’ve just heard that there’s a limit on transfers that get carried over – is this true? If so, it’ll really screw me over because I waned to do Mata, Van der Vaart and Gallas in for Song, Yaya and Kompany. Is it worth taking the 4 point hit with such a close gap?
Vorm
BAE, williamson, taylor
valencia, siggy, HBA, sessegnon, bale
jelavic, cisse, rvp
A. valencia > dempsey
B. valencia > pienaar
C. Sessegnon > dempsey
D.sessegnon > pienaar
E. ? > ?
what does dempsey have to do to get into PFA team of the year
16 goals as a midfielder and consistent all season whilst silva toure and bale have been inconsistent
Would you do..
Tevez -> Cisse
Walcott -> VDV
Turner -> Huth
For an 8 point hit?
So 11 DGW players should return a minimum of 48 points, assuming no negative points, that is tempting.
But I'd need a massive hit, and can't see 11 that I'd want 😛
There are certain single week player that you'd want over a DGW player anyway. Like Siggy. Brilliant fixture.
Yes ... but ...
Well yes, I'm definitely playing Siggy and Caulker, so that's down to 9, max, then do I drop RVP and Tevez? Hmm..
And is it worth keepi Suarez just in case he plays both? All things to consider this week and it'll take a lot of thinking.
But maybe I should go to bed before my knee starts jerking, I have two exams tomorrow morning :/
My PFA team of the season would be:
Krul
Walker Skrtel Kompany Evra
Silva Parker Bale
Dempsey Rvp Aguero
Your turn
^^ This
Krul
Evans Colocinni Kompany
Valencia Yaya Silva Dempsey
Rooney RVP Aguero
EVRA? SKRTEL?
Vorm
Sagna, Kompany, Coloccini, Baines
Silva, Cabaye, Dempsey, Bale
RVP, Ba
Skrtel has been good this season, but has still made a few mistakes, notably played at RB against Spurs. Agger could make defender of the year if he stayed fit for a whole season. Can't see any Liverpool players who have had better seasons than the PFA team, it's been generally poor, apart from Suarez, but who's going to vote for him?
Bedtime. Night all! 🙂
On a wildcard. What should I do with my front 3 of RVP, Rooney and Aguero? Jelavic and Cisse are extremely appealing and I'm even interested in one of Pogrebnyak or Adebayor for the double. Any opinions on what I should do?
I am thinking of staying with the 3.No dgw forwards for me maybe.
What you guys reckon best option is:
1. McClean > Pienaar
2. McClean > Cabaye
3. McClean > Ben Arfa
4. Keep McClean
(4 point hit btw)
Ben Arfa. Defo. Unless of course you have Cisse, then my answer would have been ‘Ben Arfa. Just.’
Is it ok if I use those phrases sometime on this site?
4. Unless you want a punt and then Pienaar if you don't have Jelavic, Cabaye otherwise. He has a great understanding with Cisse and is playing tucked behind him.
Would love to wake up tomorrow and see Verm-3, Cisse-2, Rooney-3, Dempsey-2, Kompany-1. From what I saw this would been too far off either.
Hey guys! Could really use some input on this:
Vorm (Sorenson)
Jose Enrique, Williamson, Kelly (injured?)
Siggurdsson, Valencia, Dempsey, Walcott
Cisse, Rooney, RvP
2 ft. 1.2 in the bank
If you could pick your favorite combo of letters/suggest something else I would be really appreciative!
A) Walcott > Bale
B) Walcott > VDV
C) Walcott > Pienaar
D) Rooney > Jelavic
E) Rooney > Aguero
F) Kelly > Everton Defender
G) Williamson > Cahill
Thank you thank you thank you!
Do you think Rooney will play deep as well?
And why VDV over Bale if you don't mind me asking? Isn't VDV more of a rotation risk over a double gameweek?
I'd say that neither of them have any form, but from the bits of Spurs I've seen on MOTD I prefer the look of VDV, either one is a punt.
Rooney I'm not sure on, I shipped him out last week, but he keeps scoring, so who knows?
I quite like Jelavic for the double and his game against wolves after, so I'll probably get him in, you might want to consider dropping a different striker though.
Keep Williamson, he has 2 games, might as well play him, Kelly is a risk, who would be on the bench in case he doesn't play?
Kompany first sub. JEvans behind him
Also flip-flopping on RvP > Aguero/City.
Want some city attacking coverage.. they just rotate so much!
I'm not keen on either tbh. I'd go with Jellyfish if I had to.
You don't see much in the way of a return against Fulham or Stoke?
It could go either way. I just don't trust Everton. Today's result was freakish and I wouldn't be surprised to see them hit a brick wall again. It's not that he's a bad choice, he certainly has the potential to produce some points, but it's still Everton.
Yeah I think I agree with that. Plus Moyes might fancy giving Gueye, Anichebe, Straq some game time in one of two games in quick succession.
People talking like Everton will be experimenting because "They have nothing to play for" ... Don't underestimate the desire of the team to finish ahead of Liverpool in the final table. That's definitely "something to play for"
I'm not much a believer in that personally. I would bet that realistically most of the players in the team aren't passionate about finishing above Liverpool, apart from the true Evertonians. Of course they will want to win, but subconsciously they can easily take their foot off the pedal knowing that it's not that important.
What exactly was freakish? That they played well? The goals? The fact that JEvans can get all mixed around in back?
Why dont you like Jellyman?
HERESY
Jelavic.
is going without cisse into gw36 suicide?
all of my rivals that i am hasing have him
however, i already have 2 new players, and i just see @wig & @che as really tough fixtures
and if i have the same players as my rivals what chance to i have of catching them
I still don't have him, and last week decided to get HBA as my Newcastle coverage for the double instead of Cisse, got burned, now I'm not sure.
It is interesting to note that Cisse is scoring an abnormally high percentage of his shots, and should revert to average at some point (See Pogrebnyak 5 shots on target, 5 goals in his first few games)
Cisse does have some consistency now, however, but I'm not sure I've got space for him, especially with Newcastle's fixtures for the rest of the season
che, wig, MCI, eve isn't easy..
i got HBA and i echo your thoughts entirely, hence my post
not getting him is a massive gamble, but could be worth it as it would give me a different team to the guys i am chasing
right so I am trying to decide how many players to get for DGW and it got me thinking..
If you bring in a player you know is gauranteed 2 games then minimum amout of pts they will get is 4 meaning it will cancel out the hit you take.
Therefore it doesnt matter how many hits you take this week.Agree or disagree?
Also they have to outscore the player you transferred out for this to work.
No, because the player you got rid of will get 2, giving you a net loss of 2 points if you do the transfer and the incoming player doesn't perform.
Taking a hit for Walcott or Baines to a DGWer is a free hit, as they will likely score 0, and the player coming in will get 4
Ok i'm gonna bring in Bale, VDV + Papiss for the DGW.
Which final player would you get from
Pienaar
HBA
Cabaye
Cahill
Depends on your other players but i like Cabaye. I don't think it's worth a hit for a defender.
Who are the likely bonus candidates In city and united game...??
Aguero, Clichy and Nasri
1 i think, he had a lot of shots off target. Clichy got a cs and an assist and that combo usually gets good baps.
Last question of the night. Should I keep Sess (h) to Bolton or Valencia @ City (Probably bench that game)?
I'm keeping Rooney so should I sell Valencia then? was thinking (h) to Swansea is good for Tony V?
I'd sell if you can. There are better options. When Nani is on form Valencia's pts decline and Nani has made a strong return.
Last chance saloon for sess. Sunderland were very unlucky not to score a few at villa. See how bolton shape up but might aswell keep him for the game if youve kept him.
Hi lads I'm currently holding a 16point lead in my mini league
I have the awesome trio of aguero rvp rooney my mids are
sess valancia demps siggy miyaici
don't have much dgw cover really want to get vdv on jelavic
1.4m in bank who should i trade
12 years, 5 days agocurrently own king, think it's worth using a transfer (have2FT) to do king to walker/bae?
