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…
hazard and barfa >>> mata + bale for free
is that a good move or am I knee jerking?Open Controls
rvp performance again proves there are cheaper options out there producing as many/more points.
Open Controlshow long can you hold on to him hoping he produces? if you do you could just fall behind
Open Controls
where?
Open Controls
Just off the Upney junction
Open Controls
The majority of cheap replacements that have been touted scored 2 points this weekend. RVP will consistently produce over the season. I don't fancy using a transfer every few weeks to change an out of form mid price striker to another, especially without the benefit of hindsight.
Open Controls
You are a donkey Bemba! I've seen some of your comical previous advice so I think I will pass on your RVP advice as well...
Open Controls
routledge is most valuable player this season, yet little-ish love. wonder why?
Open Controls
At thoughts on the Holy Trinity? How many wild carded to get the trio in? And how many are breaking them up now?n
Open Controls
hazard,rvp ,tvez i guess
and i still have 2 of themOpen Controls
Which Holy Trinity? There have been too many
Open ControlsHazard, RVP, Tevez. The trio Mark anointed
Open Controls
Kagawa -> Nolan for a hit.
Madness?Open Controls
I worked on a WC team after a bad day yesterday. After another bad day today, how does this look?
Jaask, Bego
Baines, Fig, Hange, Clyne, Gorkss
Silva, HBA, Cazorla, Bale, Maloney
Berb, Jelavic, TevezOpen Controls
Evening lads, obviously 2 weeks to wait but would appreciate thoughts on my team...
Foster (Begovic)
Baines Jenkinson Demel (Cuellar Saylor)
Cazorla Hazard Pienaar Michu (Sterling)
RVP Tevez Lambert
2 FTs, 0 in bank
Was all set on doing Hazard to Bale/Silva but not so sure now. Maybe Demel needs sorting and Jenkinson to Sagna if he's going to be back? Would need to finance the latter move elsewhere though. Thanks in advance!Open ControlsRVP is averaging 5.9 points per game. Not worth 13.5 million.
Open Controls
jase wedgwood - anyone know this "contributor" ? Top of the Contributor league BTW
Open Controls
It's going to be Facer, I presume.
Open ControlsGuessing its Greekfan, Anorak or Facer
Open ControlsIts not Greek fan and Anorak I know them
Open Controls
It's facer... Regretting getting him the league code now... Another to add to those above me. Sigh.
Open Controlshow could u 😀
Open Controls
i droped from 2k to 7k with graham captin and -8 for him and gerviniho

Thought my gameweek rank would have hurt my overall rank a lot but I'm only down around 100 places.
Open Controls
Aaargh! I'm having a right stinker this season. I hope I can turn it around!! Still have my Wildcard though..
Open Controls
I was also holding on to my WC... But after 4 straight red arrows I am using it this week to hopefully start a winning streak from next GW onward...
Open Controls
Hopefully my WC team will snap my downward spiral... How's my team looking?
Mannone Begovic
Baines Ivanovic Demel Clyne Nelsen
Hazard Cazorla Bale Pienaar Sterling
Berbatov Lambert RVPOpen ControlsToo much rotation on Man City players... Dont want to have a player who costs a lot and then plays only as a substitute or not at all...
Open Controls
Demel and Clyne injured, not sure how long for though
Open Controls
Mannone - will lose his place once Szchesny returns
Demel - out for 4 weeks
Nelsen - plays for QPR
The rest looks fineOpen ControlsMannone should get me some Clean Sheets until Szchesny returns and if he does well, Wenger might persist with him...
I am hoping with the international break Demel will only miss one/two of the matches and I can use Clyne there...
Nelsen is only a place filler as a low price defender and I am hoping not having to play him...Open Controls
rvp to ba
upgrade your defenders
also ivan has a tough run of fixtures. i'd rather have gibbs or rafa or even a punt on kolorovOpen ControlsNot yet convinced to lose RVP even if there are good low price forwards...
Open Controls
Thanks all, I will look into your suggestions and also look at other suggestions here to upgrade my team...
Open Controls
In your opinions which order do you think I need to my transfers to make this a consistent 50+ team for the next few GWs i.e. GW11/12
Schwarzer Al-Habsi
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
Bah, I was going to do Pienaar -> Nolan (I have Baines as Everton coverage) now not so sure.
Open ControlsNolans a greater goal threat, but yeah, i'm keeping now.
Open Controls
foster, bego
baines, gibbs, rafa, saylor, cueller
bale, cazorla, hba, pienaar, michu
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?Open Controls
Wayne Rooney on Twitter: "Great win today. Really enjoying my new midfield role. Always involved in the game."
He also said: "I don't mind no scoring if United win."Open Controls
Rooney owners may not like that
Open ControlsI have been saying for the last 5 years that he should be playing in midfield and not upfront. Finally Fergie has realised my genius.
Open Controlsany chance he could be classified as a mf next season? 😉
Open Controlsbest united coverage right there! :D. he'd probably be more expensive though don't you think?
Open Controls
Wayne Rooney @WayneRooney
Great win today. Really enjoying my new midfield role. Always involved in the game.
wonder does this mean he might be staying in this position, with RVP involved consistently???Open Controls
Who to bench:
Michu(WIG)/Hazard(tot)/Yay Toure(wba)/Fellaini(qpr)/Nolan(SOU)
Jelavic(qpr)/RVP(stk)/Ba(sun)
Thinking either Yaya Toure or Nolan, what do you think?Open ControlsWas thinking of it, but he could easily score one or two against Spurs.
Open Controls
Yaya
Open ControlsThanks!
Open Controls
Why are you asking this question now...half of those could get injured on international duty!!
Open ControlsTrue, but I like to pick the team now, and make adjustments (if necessary) later.
Open Controls
idk but seems like your de is probly a lump of shite if your mids and fwds are so good
Open ControlsYou're right, it's a bit shite, but not complete rubbish:
Begovic/Jaaskelainen
Ivanovic/Jenkinson/McAuley/Demel/CuellarOpen Controls
lets see how many people shall post the same rooney tweet shall we? 😉

Wayne Rooney @WayneRooney
Great win today. Really enjoying my new midfield role. Always involved in the game.Open ControlsRooney will go back to. Few years ago when he had 14 goals and 12 assists. No 25-30 goal season ion the cards.
Open ControlsBetter than his bench role...
Open Controlsin all honesty rooney looked more dangerous than rvp
he might actually still be the better choiceOpen ControlsBemba is a clown, do not worry.
Open Controls
Revised WC team, based on recommendations. Defence is a concern though!
Jaask, Bego
Baines, Nelsen, Gorkss, Clyne, Clark
Santi, Pienaar, Mata, Bale, Maloney
RVP, Berb, JelavicOpen Controlschelsea have poor fixtures! downgrade mata to hba (give you newcastle coverage!) and upgrade maloney or your defense
rvp to ba/lambert to upgrade your defense too! if you look at attacking defenders they have much better value than rvp!!! and honestly your defense besides baines looks atrociousOpen ControlsDefence is too sad... You need at least two big hitters and you have only Baines... You cant play 2 of Nelsen, Gorkss, Clyne, Clark every week
Open Controls
Torres, Giroud, Suarez
What a terrifying, but ultimately useless, front line that would beOpen ControlsI would go so far as to say that I will own, and be glad to own, Torres and Giroud at some point this season. But not yet. (he says whilst transferring in Giroud)
Open Controls
Another punt? 😉
Open ControlsLook at the fixtures!
Its him or Torres and I dont like Chelski's fixtures.Open Controls
giroud is the best out of these.
Open ControlsOMG. 😉
Open Controls
Torres is producing the goods to be fair. More double figure scores than RVP and Chelsea are getting better each game.
Open ControlsI am also liking Torres... Seems to be making all the great runs and has scored great goals against Arsenal and Norwich... One more and maybe a new bandwagon starts...
Open Controls
Van Persie, Adebayor & Podolski. That is all. 😉
Open Controls
I really dislike Welbeck this year...I liked him at Sunderland but by god...what are you doing this season? Why did you not look up and pass to RVP?
#BunchoftwatOpen ControlsSuppose it's natural I hold a grudge against him then 😮
Open Controls
One of these 3 - RVP - Tevez or Ba has to make way for Berbatov. So who do you think should go ? Thinking Tevez myself.
Open Controlsseeing cleverly's goal again on tv. not in a million years did he mean that, despite what commentators seem to think.
Open ControlsOwned Bale for 3 blanks, owned Hazard for 3 blanks and back I own Bale for this blank. Can I continue with that luck much longer? Maybe having both and Caz is the answer?
