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…
after having a strong first 4 weeks, the last 3 have been a laugh. WC ACTIVATED
Mignolet, (Mcartney)
Baines Richards Caulker (demel, fonte)
Mata Bale Caz Sterling (maloney)
Rooney Berba Aguero
Too many gambles? this team seems to rely on rooney outscoring RVPOpen Controls
Richards NO
Caulker Not nailed on yetOpen Controlssurely richards will take over RB from maicon/zab
Open Controls
Zabaleta played most of the champions league matches last year, and played the entire home stretch of our ride to the title. Mancini prefers Zaba, and didn't bring Maicon in for nothing. I see Micah as a utility player and it's crazy I know.
Micah is a beast and has been Englands best rb for a few years, but NOBODYYYY seems to realise it.Open Controls
Rooney recently play deeper than RVP.
Open Controls
enter RVP...
Open Controls
i dont see rooney scoring more than rvp....nope...rvp is always there in the action...rooneys become more of a 'in the hole' play
Open Controls
Mignolet????? No thanks.
Sterling/Maloney and mids I like.
Richards...no!!! He's back and was immense as always but he simply will not play every week until after Xmas at the earliest. Maybe not all season.
Cant beat that front line.Open Controlsto first post on page...oops....always post and not reply
Open ControlsI'd keep Saylor if he's fit again, Newcastle might not keep many CS but their fixtures are ones they have CS Potential...3 home games in 4 after the Sunderland game. Something to consider...
Open ControlsYea. Liverpool away won't be too scary either in that run....then they have a few other nice fixtures leading right up to us near Xmas!! He wont fall or rise either and at 5m thats not a bad idea.
Open Controls
well i have to think the sunderland defense will do better than WHM, QPR, NOR, REA etc
Open Controls
Anyone have code for FFS Dead Zone league?
Open Controls
Wow West Ham's fixtures from GW 10-19. Just, wow.
Open ControlsYep...easiest start for them...reflected in how hard their fixtures get all of a sudden. Still they don't look that bad at all...will definitely stay up.
Open Controls
may do somethin crazy this week and swap RVP and Gorkks for Baines and Berbatov.. 2 free transfers and i really want baines.. 🙂
Open ControlsIf it wasn't for Stoke at home I would say that wasn't crazy at all. Can't it wait a week longer? Use free elsewhere and you'll still have 2 to make that double move.
Open Controlsi have no flexibility whatso ever since i'm strapped for cash..
Mignolet (Federici)
Rafael Hangeland Clyne (Demel Gorkks)
Bale Cazorla Pienaar Fellaini (Dyer)
Rvp Tevez Ba
0.2 in bank
2 FT
Any suggestions? Dont wanna start Clyne this week, and i need to upgrade Fellaini/Dyer/Demel/Federici sooner rather than later.. Rvp gives me the fundsOpen Controlswhy do you need to upgrade Fellaini? Just start clyne who may get something from West Ham with defensive worries. Could be nil nil could be 4-4 and he could assist or get a freak goal.
Rest of your team is brilliant. If you want Baines then I would consider shipping out Pienaar for Routledge or Maloney and upgrading Hangeland for him(baines).
RVP out after Stoke.Open Controls
Nothing major required here at all - good team. Since you have to use a transfer I'd be tempted with Fellaini -> Sterling to save some cash. I would've said Demel -> someone, but nothing really appeals.
Open ControlsGW8: Fellaini -> Sterling/Maloney
GW9: Demel & RVP -> Baines & AgueroOpen Controls
Quick vote for those of you awake....
a) Guthrie -> Sterling
b) Save the transfer
c) Barfa & Tevez -> Santi & Berba (4 point hit). Leaves enough in the bank for Michu -> Barfa, or Michu & Suarez -> Mata & Ba (4 point hit) in GW9..
d) Something else
Jaask, Fed
Baines, Cuellar, Hughes, McCartney, Clyne
Bale, Barfa, Michu, Pienaar, Guthrie
RVP, Tevez, Suarez
Bank 0.5m, 1 freebieOpen Controlsfor those of us who are still awake (well me at least) ...that is too much reading and numbers there.
e) repost tomorrowOpen Controls
Barfa has good run of fixtures with derby coming up in GW 8.
Try taking RVP off to get Santi. There are lot of forwards giving you lot of value.
Berba, Lamb, Fletc, Ba, Crouch, DefoeOpen ControlsDint see the game.. was sterling any good? dunno if he's worth the transfer
Open ControlsSave your transfer possibly...do Guthrie > Sterling if you want...sounds decent...
Then Suarez > Berba after Reading game
(controversial I know)Open Controlsthen Michu > Cazorla
Open Controls
I would say B but by looking at your past gameweeks where you've taken a 4 pointer, it seems to do your team some good, so go with C 😉
Open ControlsYeah, I think b) is the safe play but c) could definitely turn out to be profitable. The consecutive 4 pointers also gives decent coverage of the big teams. Another option could be Suarez & Michu -> Tevez & Barfa, or Aguero & Walters. I am tempted to roll the dice...
Open ControlsSurely you'd want Suarez for the RDG...
Open Controls
If Berb definitely looks to be back, do C. Looks a very good move.
Open Controls
Just goin through Swansea forums.. Dyer had a knock apparently.. hence removed. Should start next week they reckon
Open Controls

Begovic(mun) - Jaaskelainen(SOU)
Baines(qpr) – McAuley(MCI) – Nelsen (EVE) – Hughes(AVL) – Clyne(whu)

Fletcher (NEW) – Tevez (wba) – RVP (STK)
Bank: 1.9
1. Any advice for my team?
2. Is RVP still essential? Thinking to bring in Mata, Bale & Cazorla for next 2 gameweeks if he is out from my team.Open ControlsI like your team
Maybe Fletch to BerbaOpen Controls
ba to fletcher or even downgrade jaaskelainen to mc carthy as begovic can be played gwks 9-17 in every single fixture
Open Controls
Morning Deadzoners
I know I have two weeks to decide but which three of the following would you play next GW
Cuellar, Hangeland Baines Ivanovic Clyne
Currently on Ivan, Hange, BainesOpen Controls
I think I survived okay since GW1 without MU cover.. but now that should start to change..
What's the effect on Kagawa now that Rooney's playing? I want to get one of them but prefer not to "waste" a foward position in my team with Rooney.
And my DEF is total shit.. lolOpen ControlsAfter watching the last game I would say don't get Kags as he hasnt fitted into a specific role yet and Rooney's return has just confused matters more...
The pig was great yesterday but would I want a MF player taking up a strikers role.. I'm not sure he will continue to get points there...
For me at UTD it's either RVP or no RVP that is the question. If it's no wait until Valencia is back properly (came on as a sub)Open Controlsyes, it's because RVP is a no that it's doing my head in when in comes to MU cover..
I can see your point about Kags though. cheers!Open Controls
just goin through stats for the weekend and Fellaini had 0 shots..Also he seems to be playin much more deeper than in previous games.. has he been shifted back into a defensive position??
And is nelsen nailed on? Qpr fans on their forum seem to think so.. ;plus he's their captain if i'm not mistakenOpen Controls
Yep, played extremely deep.
http://www.whoscored.com/Matches/614980/MatchReport/England-Premier-League-2012-2013-Wigan-Everton
Go to Player Positions and see. His average position is deeper than that of Baines! 😆Open Controlsdamn 🙁
Open Controls
Graham out for....
A) Ba (already have Barfa)
B) Jelavic (currently have Baines, don't have Fellatio/Peanut)
C) Lambert (already have Clyne and Puncheon)
D) Berbatov (no other Fulham players)
E) Crouch (no other rugby players)
Thoughts?Open ControlsEither D), or probably wait one week and A). But also get Pienaar asap.
Open ControlsCheers. If A, Barfa -> Peanut seems a logical move?
Open Controls
Tough choice between B, C, D, however if I had the cash it would have to be Jelly
Open ControlsI'd go B or D.
Open Controls
Crouching Peter Hidden Cucumber...
Very boring on paper, but should get you some good points from GW9 onwards...Open ControlsI do fancy a bit of a punt here and now. 😉 If I do get Crouch, it would mean keeping Graham for one more GW (purely because of the fixtures)...
Open Controls
D for sure. but do it after the price fall
berba at 6.9 is good bargain 😉Open ControlsMorning guys! 🙂 Here's my sad lot atm.
Foster - Bego
Baines - Clark - Demel - Davies - Gorkss
Hazard - Cazorla - Pienaar - Nolan - Guthrie
RVP - Suarez - Defoe
2 FT. £1.0m in the bank.
Might have to go the boring route and boot Demel and Guthrie. What would you do?Open Controls
Demel- WBA defender
Guthrie- Sterling
Suarez-JellyOpen ControlsThanks. I'll keep Suarez for 1 more week atleast though.
Open Controls
Both have to go, but then so does Davies after GW8 and Defoe, now that Ade is back IMO...
Other than that, team looks not too bad...
I would do Defoe > Berbs, and use the extra to upgrade defence... Guthrie can wait, you've already suffered from his price fall...
Maybe Demel > Simpson?Open ControlsI'd look at Hazard & Defoe -> Bale & Berba. Does this leave you enough for Suarez -> Aguero in GW9?
Open ControlsIt does, I'll think about it. Cheers, Jins.
Open Controls
dont do anything now.. wait for the international matches to finish..
You can bring in another Arsenal frontline player considering their fixture. and the backline looks a bit weak.. may be vertonghen who looks a real attacking threat atm..Open ControlsYeah, not doing anything now. Just wanted some opinions. Thanks 🙂
Open Controls
agree boot them
Open ControlsThanks! 🙂
Open Controls
boot defoe. get one of ba or berb. and perhaps hazard to hba?
Open ControlsYep, deciding between Ba and Berba. Not too keen on Barfa. Thanks 🙂
Open Controls
hold it
do guthrie to maloney or mcanuff gw9, they have nice fixtureOpen ControlsThanks.
Open Controls
I'm taking a punt on Silva... MCI have the easiest fixtures over the next 5 GW compared to Chelsea (Haz / Mata) Spurs (Bale) and UTD (could be anyone)
Looks like his price will drop over the int'l break as well
It's silva timeOpen Controlsbugger.. just realised it would be for a hit... hmmm feck it don't fancy Hazard against spurs anyway
Open Controls9.3 would be nicer 🙂
people look at form not fixtures... sell masses sellOpen Controls
+1
How does Barfa to Silva sound? Already have Ba.Open Controls
I am tempted to double up on City attack.
But, I prefer Yaya over Silva at the moment.
Enlighten me anyone? 🙂Open ControlsI've been a Yaya holder since Gwk1. And while his returns were profitable at the beginning of the season, this have come to a depressing halt. The guy's one of the best in his position, no doubt. But Silva is a better attacking option, when he's fit. And he is getting there, the little Spaniard.
Open Controlshave you not seen the broken down, wheels off, Yaya bus on here? I am keeping regardless of the masses. He has double the points of any City mid. Nuff said.
Open Controls
Just goin through pool forums and they singin the praises of Sterling, suso and Wisdom after yesterday's game.. All 3 seem nailed on for the foreseeable if anyone interested
Open Controls
What transfers should I make to this team next GW to make this a good team after 3 bad weeks
Al-Habsi Schwarzer
Gibbs Jagleika Cuellar Demel Gunter
Nolan Pienaar Hazard Michu Guthrie
Ba RVP Fletcher
Any help and comments would be appreciated
1FT 2.9 in bankOpen Controls
Selling RVP gets me Rafael and Cleverly for manu cover. Thoughts? thanks
Open ControlsReally? No better ManU cover than RVP if you ask me.
Open Controls
Suprisingly went up 10k places to 17k with only 59 points. Strange gameweek that
Open Controls
Its strange that you move up when you score 10pts more than average. People are strange in forums also.

ba, fletcher, lambert
2ft’s and 1.9 in the bank
1) do i have anyone in that squad who has international games?
2) fletch to berb?
3) should i dump one of gibbs rafa or saylor for a punt on kolorov?
4) anything else i should consider doing?Open Controls
needs man united cover
Open ControlsRafael
Open ControlsNice team TW
Whats your total score btw.
No need to do fletcher to B arfa
Kolarov is a good shout if he starts. Rotation risk is a worry for Kol.
Santi seems to be playing for Spain.Open Controlsthanks. 400 exact. wbu?
no fletcher to berbatov. you don't think berb is the better fantasy option??
yeahh i know that. wondering if its worth the risk given the options i'd have coming off the bench if he doesn't play
santi is in the spain squad. doubt he'll play though. he's got xavi, iniesta, silva, cesc, mata all ahead of him in the pecking order! and xabi alonso too depending what formation they're playingOpen Controls
i've got rafa.
dont really want kags if he will be subbed early every game. will monitor valencia. and honestly rvp and rooney aren't worth their price tags esp compared to cheap strikers who are doing quite well and how much better the rest of my team looks without themOpen Controls
how did baines get no bonus points?
Open Controlsno clue....how did kolorov get only 2 when he had a cs and played a role in all 3 goals?
how did bego get 2bps with only 3 saves!!?? 🙁 (this lost me my h2h with demi...)Open Controlsi dont understand the BPS at all
Open Controls
I'll explain in a bit.
Open Controlscan you explain how on earth bego got 2 bps though? or how kolorov didn't get all 3? or how on earth hughes got 2 when his side conceded 2 goals!?
Open Controls
no idea but i did c ur team tw and have exactly the same midfield as urs..bdw no bench fodder in it is my only concern
Open ControlsHughes had 3 interceptions, 16 clearances(monster stat!), 8 effective clearances(whatever that is!) and 1 blocked shot.

Open Controls
40 points from 6 weeks!! thank you RVP.. i do Prefer Baines + Silva + Berbatov over Demel + Fellaini + RVP .. gonna wait till friday and do it over 2 Gameweeks of course
Open Controlsgot both 😎 .. front 8 would be
Bale Cazorla Silva Pienaar (Dyer)
Ba Berbatov Tevez
Would happily captain any of those 7 for home gamesOpen Controlsi'd be worried rvp wont start the easy home games(2 internationals this week and UCL after) and would'nt wanna captain him for the tough games.. Maybe he'll prove essential in a few weeks time, but not atm.. prefer holdin onto tevez. will get rotated the same amount and has huge potential when he starts
Open Controls
When's the next double gameweek guys?
Open ControlsOk, thank you. Thought I read something about it on here.
Open Controls
Morning folks. How goes it? So glad to finally be using my laptop as net was down at home.
How did the GW shape up for you lads? Also, gladly ship RVP out you lot. I like that 😉Open Controls
Pretty good. Yep, I'll be happy for the sheep to ship RVP.
Open ControlsAh Jafa, long time no see. Where you been mate? Hows the season so far?
Open ControlsHey fella! Better start than last year-just waiting to make some headway up the fpl ladder. Very little difference points-wise between me and a decent ranking. Once I've done Bale and Mata for Hazza/Micchu, I'll have a reasonably good team.
You? What were you known as last year - don't recognise the username.Open ControlsJoined FFS only late last season. Same username.
Open Controls
why so sure RVP out aint a bad idea? bad fixtures, will be a rotation risk for the easier home games.. he'll do fantastically well granted, but slowly realisin that no matter how well he does Berbs/Tevez/Ba will offer better value..
Open Controls##is
Open ControlsOffer value? Yes, all that is ok, but transfer for who? None of the big hitting mids are in the Ronaldo Gerrard Lampard category buddy. I have Tevez and Berba with RVP.
I for one am definitely holding now, and i'll only swap for Rooney/Kun/Torres if at all.
Also, United and City are two teams that are fixture proof, attacking wise. RVP did not do much against Newcastle because SAF played a narrow formation with no wingers. Once the wingers come in, i see goals, lots of them.
Also, i'm a United fan so having RVP in the team, well, is just a lot of fun.Open Controls🙂 .. agree with all your points.. would advise you to stay off this site till next friday though.. RVP playin 2 internationals(if he even starts those) and got a UCL fixture on the wednesday after the comin GW. There'll be a panic on here bout him startin.. i'd keep him too if i dint have 2 FT and no money to work with..
Open Controlsand Bale/Cazorla/Mata(Hazard for some)/Silva(maybe) are very good options..
Open Controls
pretty well! just got back from a sounders game (the local msl team). and we smashed our rivals! 😀
earlier in the day wasn't quite as fortunate. el classico was on some weird premium channel i dont have so didn't get to watch it 🙁 and i lost to demi in our ffs classico byecause of bego's jammy bp's. how about you?Open Controls
Planning on my wildcard team.
I wonder which teams do you guys wish to have two players?
Currently I have Baines&Pienaar from Everton and Hughes+Berba from Fulham.
Planning for Aguero+Silva too.
What are your thoughts?Open Controlssurly there are better players than Silva. And cheaper!
Open ControlsIf the players are delivering on a regular basis a la Pienaar/Baines, then I have no qualms with having two players from the same team.
Silva is a little too pricy for the low returns at present. Aguero's benching raises doubts about his starts. Tevez for me who is looking to be more nailed on than previously thought.Open Controlsfirst two sound good. i'd avoid the man city pair though. aguero likely to be rotated and silva not producing to justify his price tag. if you have to have city attack go with tevez. though i'd rather get ba or berb or jelly for a striker and caz or bale or even hba for a mf
Open Controls
I'm normally very stingy when it comes to point hits, but this one has me considering back to back hits. Yay or Nay?
GW8: Barfa & Tevez -> Santi & Berba (4 point hit)
GW9: Michu & Suarez -> Silva/Mata & Ba (4 point hit)
Jaask, Fed
Baines, Cuellar, Hughes, McCartney, Clyne
Bale, Barfa, Michu, Pienaar, Guthrie
RVP, Tevez, Suarez
Bank 0.5m, 1 freebieOpen Controlsi'd say no. tevez to berbathen a hit the next week for santi and ba
Open ControlsDouble up on NEW attack then? On reflection, consecutive hits is probably too much. Thing is, I fancy Tevez to start GW8 as he's the only striker not away on International duty.
Open Controlsyeah. they've got pretty nice fixtures. and ba + hba should be involved in most/all goals. and one of the two will have pens
then save the FT and do 3 transfers for a hit in gw 9.Open Controls
Could have been useful: Baps For Michu, Mata & Aguero. The System is flawed. Both Mata & Aguero was the players of the match & still no baps!. Sucks!
Open Controlsaguero only came on as a sub
