Tottenham spring to life at the Madejski to bring the weekend’s action to a close. That gives us the opportunity to delve deeper, plunder the members area data and pick out the points of interest from the nine Premier League encounters so far…

Being Liverpool was pretty cool. The best part was hearing "Missing Pieces" by Jack White.
Yeah, I enjoyed it. Always cool to see behind the scenes stuff. I liked QPRs 4 year plan documentary a lot. Maybe I'm lame, but I liked seeing the relationships Rodgers and Gerrard have at home. I've always wanted to be the father I never had, so it was cool for me to see.
Couple of questions
A) Thinking of dumping Rangel for Gibbs, thoughts on this?
B) Dyer out for Michu worth it ? 1.5m difference and i've always felt that this Michu train would slow down considerably eventually
C) Danny Graham, Ricardo Vaz Te or Berbatov - cost weighs in as well.. graham's surely gonna be sticking quite a few in the net eventually in this attack ?
D) Yay or nay on Torres?
A) Not right before Arsenal play Man City & Chelsea
B) No. Stick with Dyer.
C) Berbatov
D) Dubious. I'm holding him for the Stoke game and then I'll probably drop him.
58 -4 not boosting or anything jw if anyone can beat it...?
Plenty but not me...
So you were boasting after all?
Go on, slap him with it, go on.....
Haha my girlfriend who picks her transfers through watching MOTD and picked the initial team from my shortlist.......
Anyway she is on 58 with Felliani to play tomorrow and is in the top 20K. It seems like you have lost to a women!
Losing to a woman is every man's destiny . . .
Do you know how depressing it is to have a rank of 800k and having used a wildcard when you are losing to your girlfriend who has a 20k rank and suddenly is very interested in FPL (as she is doing well), has a far better team and hasn't wildcarded.
For anyone who wants her transfer for this week (MOTD forced watching).....
Berbatov -> Petric
Ouch. OK, I will stop taking it lightly. My wife blessedly cannot abide the very idea of ff. All I can say is that if she is just lucky this will all sort itself out. If she is really good, god help ya. 😉
For someone who is not boasting you have posted this three times. 😉
Is Adebayor to Defoe too sideways?
Free transfer, squad's in good nick.
Anyone else got Baines v Taylor or similar tomorrow? Two cleanies or a goal each will do nicely.
2-2 with neither scoring or assistng the more likely outcome! 😀
Evening all, probably being done to death on here but havent been on the this weekend. Who do we think is a better long term prospect, Fletcher or Berbatov???
GW5 - who to captain?
(A) Hazard;
(B) Van Persie;
(C) Tevez.
How does this look for a WC team chaps?
Foster | Howard
Gibbs | Rangel | Baines | Ridgewell | Demel
Michu | Hazard | Carzola | HBA | Kags
Fletcher | Berbs | Lambert
1.3m in bank
crap up front. great team but no captain material. need RVP unfortunately if you want to win anything (IMO)
Yeah, front is 'weak' but it doesn't seem to bother me - they're all pretty nailed on and should deliver over the long-term. Trying to resist RVP at present - can't handle the rotation possibility head-aches.
Lose kags. You nee a more consistent striker than lambert.
Having no RVP/Tevez might hurt you.
Shingy is defo the one i'd be first to swap out - but should be relatively good Utd coverage so he's keeping his place at present. Currently have Tevez (haven't pressed the WC button yet) but i'm worried about rotation. Trying to resist RVP for the same reason.
3 home games in next 4 - looks pretty sweet.
Midfield is way too good, you can basically never bench any of them. Downgrade one and upgrade one of the strikers. Goalies also too expensive for my liking
Yeah, I'd be looking to bench a striker each week so it solves that problem. Love the goalie combo but will probably downgrade on of 'em if i need to free up funds.
Kags and fletcher out, pienaar and tevez in. Front line way too weak
Kags for Pienaar is a definite possibility but Tevez rotation scares me.
Not sure if this lot still can be fix for gw5.
Mig(Begovic)
Demel Ridgewell Ivan(fonte Barnett)
Michu Santi Hazard Barfa(Guthrie)
Tevez Rvp(C) Berbatov
In bank: 0.3m
It needs fixing?
Not sure what the problem is? No more ragged than most non-wc teams at this point. In fact better than most. So you have some defenders to replace over time: what of it?
Im on the verge of losing my lead in my minileague, it all depends on how Fellaini does tmrw, me and him both have Barfa. Thats explains why im feeling yay bit down.
There is little you can do that will have an immediate point impact. Your def needs a little shoring up (whose doesn't) so pick your worst def and start rebuilding. No need to jerk.
Lol.. the person winning my minileague hasn't made a single transfer this season. Sitting in 13,000th with Scholes to come in and Baines tomorrow. Unreal

This game has an awful lot of luck.
As a Bale + Walker owner, I'm not complaining, but I do not understand this bonus at all. Anyone who can explain this??!
It's not just about goals. Dafoe had loads of shots off target and hardly made a pass. Bale had one shot off target, ran a lot, made tackles and pssed the ball to spurs players a lot.
Not even close to fair. Bale had a lousy game and got a lucky goal. Vertongen played sooo much better than Walker but the assist counts for alot. Lennon was also good. Defoe should get 3 bp no matter if he missed a few shots
ddg, fed, cueller, fabio, marveaux, graham
which are my priorities to get rid of?
I don't know where to begin...
I guess the keepers since you may not have anyone playing in that position. Graham last out of those since he will actually play and has good fixtures.
yeah.... 🙁
yeah that's what i'm thinking but i'd only get rid of one for now. its hard to keep graham though as he keeps drawing blanks.... if i get a new gk then i'll have 11 playing and can hang onto the others for a week or two. what do you think of the hit i mentioned just below?
ddg and graham/marv
It makes me really happy when matches are broadcasted on national television here in the states. I just think that's really cool. Things have really changed every since Euro 2008 seems like.
Anything worth -4?
Should I play Rafa, Clyne or Hughes?
JussiJ;
Baines, Rafael, Davies;
Hazard, Pienaar, Michu, Maloney;
RVP, Tevez, Berba.
Subs: Mings; Noble, Hughes, Clyne.
Bank: £3.5m.
noble/maloney to someone
hey parm! haven't seen you in a while, how's it going?
don't think anything is worth -4. what was your transfer already for the week?
why don't you play rafa and hughes and bench davies?
Nice to see you TW!
I've already done Torres to Berba this week 😎
And that's not a bad solution, hmmm.
It is, assuming you have 6 bench pts coming in
would jaask + demel be too much?
and is O'Brien nailed on?
Who is the best keeper to rotate with Foster?
Foster in, DDG out
Fletcher In, Petric out
-4
Yes or not? please ?
yes. I never advocate taking hits, but yes. thats a must if you need a player. whats your bench?
Zabaleta and Maicon to rotate as frustratingly as Kolarov and Clichy?
And when Richards comes back will he play CB?
Couple of questions....
1.Should I keep my FT for next week?? (thinking of Verm for Che defender)
2.Are my subs right? would like to have Maloney in there v Fulham
Ruddy (Bego)
Verm Ridgewell Demel (Gunter)(Hughes)
Santi Michu Hazard Pienaar (Maloney)
RVP Tevez Berb
all opinions appreciated
Anyone feel like being humble? I'll start: I have made huge mistakes from the beginning of this season, and my current points do not reflect what I planned to have happen. If they reflect anything good is it that I made some prudent choices alongside my stupid ones. How many of us are (a) doing terribly despite still thinking our decisions were smart, (b) doing fairly well despite thinking we made several stupid mistakes and feeling baled out by luck and some bet-hedging (me) or (3) doing REALLY well and can only put it down to luck?
I don't know whether to feel lucky or wise but doubling up on West Ham defence has worked wonders so far, without it I'd be doing really very badly so far! I don't understand people who are disappointed this week, everyone is in the same boat, get over it. It's only 4 weeks in and it's been impossible to predict how it's all going to pan out. We've got some information now and need to use it to do better. If you've had Michu/Hazard/Ivanovic from the start then that's 100 points right there, but not everyone has been that lucky...it's a marathon this game!
Agree with all these replies. It is a crazy game. I especially roll my eyes at those who are shattered by this GW. It has been a luck trainwreck. Write it off: it says nothing about your season, it's just a thing.
So, I need Baines and Ben Arfa to score a combined 23 tomorrow night to equal my pre WC team.
Not gonna lie, I'm feeling a bit of a c*** right now... International breaks are stupid.
One consolation of my WC team is that my pre WC team included several players that didn't feature this weekend.
Think I may slide another week on the DDG/Federici abomination and considering bring in Hart as an entree to Man C def. next week. Wise? Better options for keeper?
Team is linked, is it worth 4pts to go Michu and cashley to gibbs and bale?
I see him on TFPL these days.
Will George McCartney start for West Ham?
