A decidedly tepid Gameweek which saw the big guns misfire. Oliver Giroud at last made an impression, Santi Cazorla boosted his reputation, while two of the “template squad” were rejuvenated as Eden Hazard and Michu delivered. Our members can hoover up all the data from the weekend action and, as usual, we’ve picked up the numbers that have caught our eye so far…
1 FT, 1.6 ITB. No idea what to do with it. Probably going without Bale for another week. Michu has one more week. Tempted to make a defensive change..

Is this team in some serious need of haz to caz or is there another move i have not seen?
Jussi Fed
Ivan Hange Ridge Clyne Mcartney
Haz Yaya Michi Pienaar Maloney
RVP Suarez jelavic
0.0 in bank
Is it worth getting begovic in tonight for the hit if i get cazorla just for his price rise???Open Controls
Here's Bale's dive in all its glory - should receive a 10 game ban, IMO:
http://i.minus.com/iI04qBVyEBQp2.gifOpen Controls
His punishment will be becoming synonymous with treachery and bad sportsmanship, a 'Suarez', if you will.
That stain doesn't come out.Open Controls
lol that was well embarrassing
Open Controls
The reason I think this is an utter disgrace is he deliberately is trying to get the Goalkeeper Guzan sent off early on by diving here. I can't believe he wasn't even booked. He should get a 1 match ban. That'll teach him.
Open Controls
Long way to go yet and a lot could happen before, but I'm totally considering Carroll for the (C) next week.
Great underlying stats and has (SOU) up next.
Others potentially tougher games 'cept for Suarez.
Suarez (RDG)
Bale (CHE)
Mata (tot)
Cazorla (nor)
Silva (wba)Open ControlsGreat shout...the only shock is that you own him.
Open Controls
Moves I had in mind:
GW8: HBA > Jarvis / Possibly Fletcher > Berb
GW9: Fellaini > Silva
GW10: Jarvis > Ramirez
Sound?Open Controls
A bit early but thoughts on captain for next GW?
RVP home to Stoke would seem the obvious one..Open ControlsCazorla...tempting...Baines? qpr away! Bound to concede a few penos... 😀
Berbatov...if he's fit...obvious one tooOpen Controlssuarez has unfortunatly caught my eye, shame it will be filled with tears afterwards!
Open Controls
Berba definitely
Open ControlsRVP or Cazorla here. Maybe even Michu but unlikely
Open Controls
I'm currently on Berba.
Open Controls
Michu against Wigan is tempting me, but right now it's on Suarez. I did think Cazorla too, and maybe Jelavic away to QPR.
Open Controls
Probably RVP too. Berbs, Caroll, Suarez and Aguero are other options too.
Open Controls
Stoke's stats at full time - 98 two footed tackles, 45 stamps, 9 broken legs, 2 hospital trips, 0 tries.
Open Controls
Hate Pulis.
Moaning martyr about diving but nothing about Huth who basically cared not a jot if he had stamped right on Suarez's heart
Anti footballOpen Controls'stamping on his heart' makes it sound like they were once lovers ;D
But ye...not good...but what do you expect from StokeOpen Controls
Total rubbish! Fact are Stoke are a team of men that play a physical game. Love watching the Potters...I think they are very close to becoming a top 6 team in our prem.
They have players there that give a game that makes me proud to be an Englshman.
Keep up the good work Stoke . Saints fan.Open Controls
Thoughts on this team?
Cech
Baines rafael Gibbs demel Clyne
Silva mata bale cazorla kaca
Lambert Torres berbsOpen Controls
Kaka looks good but when all are fit at Fulham he isnt first choice.Gibbs picked up a knock yesterday; dont know how severe. Rest of team looks great.
Open Controls
For the season, who has more points potential:
Hazard or Mata
Bale or Silva
Thanks!Open Controls
Krul (Begovic)
Rangel Baines Demel (Cuellar Boyce)
Bale Mata HBA Michu (Sterling)
RVP Berbatov Ba
Need to strengthen my defence, only the 1ft and
£0.1m in bank. Rafael/Evans are on my wishlist
Any suggestions?Open ControlsImo you actually might be ok defensively for a few games...I wouldn't rush into anything...your team looks decent...I'm considering ditching HBA personally as I also have Ba...but I think it's mainly because I support Sunderland and don't want to celebrate too much if they score against us!!
Open Controls
I was very excited about my team on Saturday night with RVP(c) Ba, Lambert and Bale to play...
Now I want to WC... 🙁Open ControlsHard luck Zep, it did look like a great line-up...you think you will WC? Not a bad time to do it...lemme have a look at your team...
Open ControlsI can't believe I'm actually thinking about going with Torres over RVP... but I am... even through these so called tough fixtures...
Just wanna fix my defense right now, instead of the over the next few weeks...
Frustrated with Lambert, might switch to Berbs... a few things like that...
It's a big decision...Open ControlsYeah it's weird, I was saying to myself like many others I'd imagine at the start of the season...wait a minute...Torres is literally their only striker and guaranteed to start...he'll probably be a season keeper if he finds form...the jury is still out but he has looked involved and back in form for the most part. I wouldn't be rushing to get him in because of fixtures but I can see myself looking to him at some point. I also think he'll be better value than Hazard and there's less stress about which Chelsea mid to go for.
Open ControlsLooking at your team I'm finding it hard to see justifying a WC...I'm sure it'd be sweet for value/tweaking things but on paper it looks decent...
Potential transfers:
Fed > Bego
Gunter > McCartney?
Your defence could probably do with a few changes but your attack looks good...
It depends how you're feeling...I just don't think your attack needs a major change...hmmmOpen ControlsIt's just the culmination of 6/7 substandard GW's, there must be something wrong with my team, even though it looks good on paper...
I find it very hard to sit by and wait for it to eventually come good, when I'm already 60 points back from top 100k...
It's probably best that I just leave this game alone for a while... come back a bit fresher...
Thanks man...Open Controls
I agree with this completely.
Open Controls
I don't know what you're complaining about, you did all right. I think in general this gameweek promised much but delivered little.
Open ControlsI got 4(8),2,2,3 from attacking, and in form, players you would expect to deliver some decent - possibly double - figure scores in some very favourable matches... Anything less than 70pts this week after Saturdays performance, I would consider below par... but 51 is just poor...
It's all very disappointing and disheartening...Open ControlsMany of us including myself are in the same boat as you this week. Thats all I'm saying
Open ControlsI'm well aware of these players respective ownerships... that doesn't change how I feel, nor stop me from feeling aggrieved at my own teams score and rank...
That's all I'm saying...Open ControlsFair enough. I see you are well down in the rankings but if anything I'd say your team is as good as any out there. I'm sure your luck will change for the better. You might be right about the need to have a rest away from the game. This break is a good opportunity, no point wasting your WC now.
Open Controls
I didn't see the game but what are the livelihoods of RVP having his elbow reviewed?
Open Controls
@Ajay if you are still here. By the sounds of it Demel is out for 4 weeks so maybe change him to a Stoke defender, or McCartney?
Open Controls
leave demel imo.
Open ControlsJust as I am about to go..
I will want Demel after so keeping him. I am now leaning to banking the FT and getting Wilson (got Begovic already) in GW9, will lose Michu then too. Also need news on Gibbs.Open Controls
Anyone out there making a move for Luke Moore? Graham is out of form, this lad is 4.5!
Open ControlsI've already made my 1 free transfer, and don't plan on making any more, so what do people think of my team for the next GW:
Schwarzer
A.Cole Hangeland Zabaleta
Hazard Fellaini Cazorla Michu
Tevez Jelavic Suarez
Subs: Jaaskalainen Sterling Cuellar DemelOpen Controls
Please give comment on my team:
Jaaskelainen - Begovic
Rafael - Jenkinsson - Baines - Clark - Gorkks
Mata - Cazorla - Fellaini - McAnuff - Sterling
Ba - Aguero - RvPOpen Controls
I would want Aguero as he seems to be just as prone to rotation as Tevez. Having both him and RVP leaves your MF a little light.
Open Controls
It's not as good as mine 😛
Open Controls
Pretty poor gameweek, was panic then hit the wildcard.
Advise on this WC team?
Foster Bego
Baines Iva Rafael Nelsen Fonte
Pienaar Michu Bale Cazorla Puncheon
Aguero Ba Berba
Bank : 1.6
I have almost all top teams covered. leaving 1.6 in the bank make me feel insecure, any idea?Open ControlsMichu->Noble for the following GW.
Open ControlsSorry, I mean Nolan.
Open Controls
Not sure about Aguero, Nelson, Puncheon and Fonte. They are all subject to rotation.
Open ControlsPuncheon will on the bench most of the time, but how about Sterling for Puncheon?
I play 343 most of the time, but wouldn't mind to upgrade either Fonte or Nelson, any suggestion?Open ControlsSterling is an ok option. I actually think Hunt could be a decent punt but it may be too soon. Sell Aguero for Tevez and that should free up some cash if you need it.
I wouldn't bother upgrading Fonte and Nelson as your defence is already too expensive, just get nailed on cheapies such as Davies, Clyne (when back from injury) or ClarkOpen ControlsPuncheon is cheap and he plays pretty well, might as well just give him a bench fodder role.
I don't think I need to sell Aguero for cash, with that money, I don't think there's anybody who is worth to invest on.
Fonte played 90 minutes for every games so far, he's not nailed on? 😮 Nelsen should be nailed on too.Open Controls
Got rid of Friedel (for McCarthy), so now i can upgrade Rangel to any of these guys: Micah Richards, Gallas, J. Evans, Caulker or J. Olsson?
(this is a drafted league, so these are the only available guys)Open Controls
absolutely shameful dives last night...i am disgusted at this happening in european football.
Open ControlsAnyone got a site which analyse the upcoming fixtures difficulty?
Which teams have the best fixtures for upcoming weeks?Open ControlsWest Brom's Fixtures from GW10
SOT wig CHE sun swa STO ars WHM NOR qpr
I think that looks like a pretty tasty run of fixtures for a team on form...
Doubling up on defence would be the obvious call but there's Morrison/Lukaku/Long/Brunt to look at too.Open ControlsVery tempted by Morrison tbh.
Open Controls
I would wait until the STO game to get a defender in. They aren't great for away cleanies.
Morrison looks a decent option as an every week option, but again I'd probably wait till STO to get him in.Open Controls
Hi all,
Please rate:
Kolarov for explosive gamble.
—Jussi(McCarthy)——
Baines-Gibbs-Kolarov-(Nelsen,Demel)
HBA-Cazorla-Pienaar-Bale-(Frei)
Tevez—RVP—Berbatov—
CheersOpen ControlsRVP has one more chance, ONE! I will give him the armband once more obligingly but if he doesn't deliver he is gone. Ba has a glorious run of fixtures coming up especially after the derby clash.
Open Controls
Foster Begovic
Baines Gibbs Hughes Demel Clyne
Hazard Bale Cazorla Michu Sterling
Tevez Suarez Lambert
Planning to save FT for Michu and Suarez out after GW8.
However, if I was to use FT with only 0.3 in bank,
best transfer for GW8?Open Controls
Two questions: Is Man City coverage thought essential or the next few weeks, if so, who? Thinking of bringing in an Aresenal defender but who? Jenkinson about to be replaced with Sagna, Gibbs injured, Can't really afford anyone else.
Open ControlsMan City has good fixtures and are in form, but Hart and Toure are only nailed on...except maybe Tevez.
If you believe that Sagna will be back and Gibbs is out, then Sagna but Gibbs may not be out for long.Open ControlsI would give it another week before making any decision on those fronts. I'm asking the same questions but I'm bereft of answers.
Open Controls
I'm happy I kept Tevez and I'm planning on getting Silva for week 9. I think their defense will be really profitable as well but I really have no idea who will play, other than Hart.
