With the Gameweek completed by a classic Anfield tussle, it’s time for our members to scan some of the key statistics from the weekend matches to help identify the form and trends that could help shape future Fantasy selections…

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

    Completely random and not FF related question.

    Will an American electric toothbrush work in a European shaver socket in the bathroom?

    Basically do they have the same shaver sockets as us or is an adapter needed?

      Er, good question. Normal sockets are obviously different but I don't know about shaver sockets. There's still the fact about the different frequency used too. Not much help but it's an interesting question.

            yeah that's my thinking. Reason for -4 so far was

            Lamps, no fixture, no nailed on, reliant on pens gone for Kagawa, who offers much more.

            VdV, could get 10 points, but just as easily come on for 20 mins and get 1 and was dropping, got Adam Johnson. It's a bit of a risk, but I think he'll do well, and will have a DGW to come

            Rooney, injured, straight swap for RvP, funded by Johnson transfer

            Keeping Ivan means I have to play Clyne or Fabio, plus now they have a rb, he is a rotation risk as well. Baines is not, and has massive scoring potential. 3 of the players I dumped this week are guaranteed 0 points.
