This was a Gameweek littered with outstanding performances, particularly in midfield where the array of talent jostling for spots in our squad now presents a major headache. This week’s bumper edition of “Big Numbers” for members carries out the usual exploration of the stats behind the Gameweek, with midfield options across all the price brackets gaining momentum and our keen interest…

Well, i thought Hazard was a must, then RVP scored 3 (shoulda been 4), so i've brought them both in despite not wanting to this early, for bale and Torres. -4 point hit.. Internationals are a worry, but hopefully i make some money off it, it pays off.. At least i still have my wc!

Kagawa and Bale owners.. keepin? gettin rid? which one should go first if any?
Open Controls-
Bale shipped out yesterday
Kagawa remainsOpen Controls

If by some miracle my team comes through the international break unscathed I'm taking a punt on Bale > Nani (c). Made a huge difference to United yesterday whilst Welbeck was woeful.
Open Controls-

If he's not injured he will. Young's injured and Welbeck wide left doesn't work.

It's not the time for punts...Get your team completely sorted and then go for the punts.

Probably sensible advice.

No RvP in your team huh Scroob?
Nani did ok, good sub.. monitor the Young situation, he (or Welbeck) could start instead of Nani..
And, gamble with players.. not captains.. 😉Open Controls-
Yeah got RVP (thank god or my embaraasingly low score would even worse).

Davies I think, cheap at £4mil, though will their defence suffer with Taylor out and Chico out for three weeks?

H2H is complete crap. Two of the highest amongst the regulars whom I know are Captain Shirkov and Lateriser both with 256 pts (Ya, bloody impressive, I know). Though Captain Shrikov managed to win all 3 of his H2H, Lateriser won only one. It really can't get more unfair, can it?
Open Controls-
Yep, completely true..

In my h2h keague, there's a guy with 3 wins with a total points tally of 130 ish who won his h2h this week with 25 points.

One last go.. need a good haul of votes
A) Ridgewell (will he be affected by popov?)
B) SaylorOpen Controls-
Ridgewell's teams playing better and is currently the obvious chances.
I'll tell you this though, Saylor had 3 very good chances to score a goal yesterday. I'm glad i have him.Open Controls-
Not really helping the cause 😆
lets put it this way, if you could only have one, which would you pick?
I back Newcastle to keep it tight at home, so either/or works.Open Controls-
I still think Saylor. Fancy Newcastle over Swans at the back. Swans will have one and maybe two new boys at the back. Saylor good going forward too
Open Controls -
I think long-term look to get both. Honestly.

so hazard can be a max of 10.2 by the start of GW 4 now right? may as well stomch the 0.2 rise and wait in that case
Open Controls-
His rising has been a bunch of ass, but waiting is sensible. Boring and frustrating, but sensible.

ridgewell in the watchlist why not mcauley he has scored points more consistently
Open Controls-
Lots of us had McAuley last year. I'd completely forgotten about him in the Bandwagons of this season.
Open Controls -
Could be a good option. Ridgewell will probably rise this over these two weeks, so if you want to make profit and you're going to make a transfer now. Get him.
Open Controls-
am on wildcard but tell me is ridgewell more attacking or setpieces etc just want to know why he is so rated........
Open Controls-
Much bigger threat from open play than mcauley.. and he goes up for the same number of set pieces as mcauley. much better bet imo
Open Controls-
Now that I've checked, it looks like they both may go up by the next gameweek. Tough decision. The stats say Ridgewell has more potential, even though he hasn't scored a goal.
I'm sure that goal will attract more players to grab Mcauley, so maybe he'll be rising more.Open Controls

if on WC put McAuley in now and enjoy his price rises and then swithc to ridgewell

Ridgewell is = McAuley goal threat from set pieces + threat from open play.

Wasn't one of his deal breakers that he had control of transfers. Surely if the player isn't signed yet then don't sell the one he's replacing.
Open Controls-
They can call Carroll back though.
Will happen if Suarez gets injured. Something at which he is really adept at feigning btw.Open Controls -
But baulked at £6mil for Dempsey. Could well cost them a place in Europe of any sort for next year and how much will that cost them?
Open Controls-
I wouldn't worry about financial cost, more the lessening attractiveness of playing for a Liverpool team who aren't in Europe or contending for anything. Easy downward spiral to get into. Not saying it will happen but a possibility nonetheless

That does seem strange. Did they run out of time?

Mornin' lads. Might be taking a hit to get a WBA defender in. Want Ridgewell but is McCauley more nailed on than him now that that other fella (who i think plays in Ridwell's position) was bought in the tranny window?

Bale might drop 0.1 or 0.2 more during the break. You're better off having someone like Routledge until closer to the deadline and transfer Bale in the very last moment. If you're luckly you'll make a 0.1 profit, if you're not you don't lose any more on Bale.

Is there anyone who would like to join me in making a case against taking your team apart, by taking mega points hits or blowing your wild-card, for no other reason than to get RvP? We all know he is a class act with a proven track-record, but he is injury-prone and after his penalty yesterday Rooney (when he returns/plays) should be favourite to take them. Had he not scored a hat-trick against what looks to be the weakest defence in the premiership would we be so driven to get him whatever the cost?
Open Controls-
I agree. You can find points elsewhere. I did without RVP for a long time last season and did just fine. (If you check my rank bear in mind I started only in GW14 and managed a top 10 placement in the GW14 league). I was annoyed plenty of weeks when all my rivals had captained him (as per usual). Worst of all was the game against Blackburn. But you get over it and the points still come in if you play it right. Its also kind of exciting because the points in your mini league will start to come very acyclically. One week your on top next week the RVPers are.
Open Controls -
You have a case. I think a WC should be worth 20-30 points, so to use it to chase last week's points could blow up in you face. I don't have that dilemma but I would 4pt hit to get RVP in if I did - if you don't have him you could be facing a big deficit in your mini leagues by the next gameweek.
Open Controls -
your having a laugh! he scored 30 in the league last year! he has 4 in 2 matches! He has a class team around him! could of had 5-6 against soton. If he keeps scoring like this and you dont get him, you will have to swap more players out and you will still be too far behind to even factor!! I can see him scoring another couple this weekend vs wigan!

Would you transfer Hazard in for a hit now? Want him before the price changes but I am mindful of the potential injuries over the break…

can only rise 0.2 more.. unless tight for cash wait imo

Yes. Im doing it now, just deciding which defender to get in.
If worse comes to worse he gets injured and i play guthrie 😆
