The term ‘Moneyball’ should not become a synonym for “obscure” as value can sometimes still be found in even the brightest of spotlights. Therefore, having highlighted some fringe Fantasy prospects in the first few entries in this series, we will turn our attention this week to somewhere well overdue some strong returns and Fantasy attention: Anfield.

Side for GW7 is
Foster (Begovic)
Baines Cole Rangel (Nelson Cuellar)
Cazorla Dyer Piennar Yaya (Puncheon)
Crouch Ba RVP
Cazorla to Bale this week or save the FT for the International Break ?Open Controls
Save it
Open Controls
Yeah vice
Open Controls
It's blowin a Gayle!
Open ControlsQuick-poll:
Guthrie > Sterling
Pienaar to Dembele/Ramirez/Nolan/6.5m midfielder
I have Baines and no Tottenham coverage
CheersOpen Controls
Dembele doesn't count as tot cover. If you don't play to play sterling I don't see the need to get him for Guthrie right now.
Open ControlsBecause Sterling plays every gameweek and is a much better alternative to Guthrie for only 0.3m more, Guthrie isn't even a nailed on starter for Reading! I notice your not playing sterling either 🙂 p.s. nice rank
Open Controls
ok, dilemma
Play Berba and bench Kebe and hope Berba plays from the start or not at all
or
Play Kebe and bench Berba and hope Berba doesn’t make the squad.Open Controls
B imo
Open Controls
Berba is 90% chance he won't play.... Doubt they will bother risking him. Play Kebe.
Open Controls
Cant see him being risked to be honest. The sensible approach would be to give him the rest with the int'l break coming up. Not worth risking your main man to try to claw back a point.
Open Controls
Personally I see Berba in the squad and only making an appearance if behind at 70-80 minutes so in squad or not, Kebe more likely to get points?
Open Controls
Hi lads! Would you captain?:
A) Bale
B) Mata
C) RVP
D) Michu
E) LambertOpen Controls
I changed WC team based on suggestions, how does this look like
Jask Foster
Olson Gibs Baines Demel Clyne
Mata Gervinhio Pienar Bale Sterling
Ba Suarez FletcherOpen Controls
GW 7 team - thoughts please
Jussi/Friedel
Baines, Hangeland, Lescott
Pienaar, Michu, Hazard (C or VC not decided yet), Noble
RVP (C or VC), Tevez, Lambert
Subs: Guthrie, Clyne, McCartney
1 FT available with 2.4m in the bank
Lescott out and upgrade a mid (Noble/Guthrie)?Open Controls
Bye bye Australia...
Open Controls25 off last over, great stuff!
Open Controls
OI! 😡
We still have Watto and Warner 😉Open ControlsWhat? You want me to say bye bye to them individually?
Bye bye Watto, bye bye Warner
😉Open Controls😛 You'll see 😉
Open ControlsI actually hope they perform, far more interesting if they do...
Open ControlsThe plane is ready at the airport for the Aussie's mate, 🙂
Open ControlsNot while these 2 are still in 🙂
Open Controls
Right, in the mood for flair punts.. Got Kolarov in.. Have the armband on Jelly.. My week will most probably end in tatters 🙂
Open Controls
Also captained the Jellyfish. Don't worry, the lad will come good.
Open ControlsNot necessarily 😉
Open Controls
how come you took so many hits but you end up scoring a super high overall point 🙁
Open ControlsHad a good start.. Hits kinda worked well.. And the WC got me to 8K from 67K
Open Controls
how many points would u predict for this team this week cheers:)
jussi
baines, ridgewell, boyce
Gerard, michu, pie, morrison (C)
berby, RVP (VC), aguero
subs: mannone, kosc, guthrie, gorkksOpen ControlsMorrison (C) You crazy? Around 40 points imo.
Open Controls
Seriously reconsider your captain. You have 5 better options 🙂
Open Controlsi just thought qprs defence is depleted but i was stuck between rvp and morrison....ill go with rvp then.....morrison will probably get a brace now lol;)
Open ControlsI just think in a week with so many excellent matchups, you're better off captaining one of them. Save the defensive C for another time.
Open Controls
starting to regret doing Tevez>Suarez last night after the game. really wished Suarez didn't played that game and got a goal. cue a 1 ft wasted.
Open Controlsim sure your be fine...just don't watch the game because your have a very high bloody pressure from how many hes going to miss or hit the wood work;)
Open Controls
ok have got 1 free transfer and a WC but a couple of berba/vermaelen probs
foster (fed)
verm, baines, rafael (demel, cuellar)
yaya, bale, pienaar, michu (kaca)
tevez, suarez, berbs
do i leave it, save the transfer for the internationals, risk kaca coming on for 1pt when berba is unfit.
or... transfer berba to ba, or kaca to ramirez.
and WC in the international break.Open Controls

Great moneyball article. Although I may bench him this week....still great value. Incredible that such a young player is getting these starts.
Meanwhile here's my team for the weekend. Captain and subs comments welcome.
Jaask
Clyne - Baines -Rangel
Bale (C) Michu - Hazard - Piennar
Lambert - RVP - Tevez
subs - Sterling - Cueller - Saylor - BergOpen ControlsNice team
Open ControlsThought he was excellent last week. Would have brought him in this week for kaka if i didnt have more pressing transfers. One for next week deff'y
Open Controls
Fook, that's my exact same team with Cuellar and Ba instead of Cyne and Tevez.
I'm thinking of paying Begovic. Look at Stokes stats against the big clubs so far.Open Controls
Fletcher. I'm sitting Sterling for Morrison
Open Controls
I wish Sterling would shoot more, he's like the anti-Sturridge.
Open ControlsGive him time. He's not very experienced. Suarez assists to Sterling would be good. Maybe he can put it in the back of the net 😉
Open Controls
you say it like its a bad thing.
Open ControlsFantasy-wise it's terrible, obviously in real life it's a huge plus for the lad!
Open Controls
Do people really think Hazard is worth captaining this GW? There seems to be too much uncertainty with him at the moment for me...
Open Controls
wouldn't captain him if you have any other options, say Bale, Fletcher or RVP, for example
Open ControlsHave all three. Leaning towards Bale, but not discounting a last minute RVP swtich
Open Controls
i have him and he has burnt was before don't think i will [c] this time. thinking about [c] lambert myself
Open Controls
if money were no issue. who would you really take a punt on base on flair pick ?
Open Controls
I'm captaining RVP. A few reasons:
1) Newcastle's defence is below par
2) United lost the last league game, a good performance usually follows
3) If in doubt, captain RVPOpen ControlsNewcastle have only conceded 2 goals in their 3 home fixtures this season.
Open Controls
doesn't mean they'll keep it tight v man u. much different opposition to tottenham, villa and norwich. I reckon united will win 2-0.
Open ControlsYeah it doesnt, But nearly everyone was saying the same before last seasons game between them, predicting big points for Rooney etc. Newcastle are pretty tight at home. For me, there are better options than RVP for the armband.
Open ControlsAs for saying united are a much different opposition than spurs, spurs put 3 past United but only the 1 past Newcastle.
Open Controls
Jussi
Baines Saylor Demel
Hazard (VC) Pienaar HBA Morrison
Fletcher Suarez Tevez (C)
Subs: Begovic Gorkks Guthrie Cueller
£6.2m in the bank and 1FT - any ideas on a transfer or save for after Internationals? not liking the idea of double WHU this week, but not sure I've got any better options.Open Controlsplay begovic, could easily be 0-0
Open Controls
I would like to apologise unreservedly for the state of my FPL squad. I saw the posts on here and in the heat of the moment transfered in players I really didn't want. I hope this puts an end to the saga which has tarnished both me and my squad since the beginning of the season.
I now want to concentrate on the next GW when no doubt I will once again be completly let down by my captain and then rest of the team.

1st post this season.
Thinking about WC'ing next week with the following team - any thoughts?
Jussi-Bego
Rafeal-Gibbs-ACole-Demel-Nelson
Barfa-Bale-YaYa-Sahin-ElAhmadi
RVP-Ba-Lambert (0.0 bank)
Yaya is City cover and is consistent, not sure why not more love here. Sahin should come good but feels like a gamble.Open ControlsPlay Dembele or Sterling this week, first to 5 I will actually do:
