Gameweek 8 saw a handful of the key Fantasy targets produce some of their best performances of the season. Our members area is brimming with statistics to help piece together the story behind them but, as always, here’s our summary of just some of the figures that leap out.
Team for next week:
Bego (Foster)
Baines gibbs Hughes (Demel Nelsen)
Sterling HBA Michu Bale (Pienaar)
Fletcher Suarez RVP
0.8 in the bank, 2 FTs.
What to doOpen ControlsMight ditch him for Walters and get Ba in for Suarez...
Then Fletcher to Jelly in 2 weeksOpen Controls
Don't know if it is true that they have that sort of instict but a girl in my mini-league actually captained Dzeko ! 🙂

This made me notice that Walker got -1...the guy deserved it for such a shocking performance...
Open Controls
Someone somewhere probably captained Noble too.
Open Controls
Nice win!, your new rank is almost as low as your user id!
Open ControlsCheers, that's my new aim. 😉
I didn't think I'd win when I compared our teams before the games. I did get pretty luck tbh, especially with Noble coming in for Bale.Open Controls
She actually captained Bale, Dzeko was VC.
Open Controls
Team is not looking too great for next week. Need to choose 2 from this lot, what do ye experts think?
1 Rafael (che)
2 Gorkss (FUL)
3 Demel (wig)
4 Punhceon (TOT)Open Controlsgorkss and punch
Open Controls
Demel and Rafael
Open Controls😀
Open Controls
Punch and Demel/Gorks. Really can't decide between those two.
Open ControlsHaha love how everyone has a different answer. At least I wasn't missing something obvious
Open Controls
Rafa and Puncheon. Gorkss first sub
Open Controls
What would you guys do with this team...
Begovic (Foster)
Baines Mertesacker Hughes (Demel) (Cuellar)
Bale Nolan Michu Guthrie (Pienaar)
RVP Tevez Podolski
2FTs, 1.5 mil in the bank...
Thinking of doing Michu -> HBA and Guthrie -> Kebe.. Also want to do either Hughes or Cuellar -> Wilson at some point.
Do they sound like good transfers?Open ControlsSo is this the new template team?
Bego
Wilson Baines Riise (The Unspeakables)
Cazorla Mata Silva Michu Sterling
RVP Dzeko RooneyOpen Controls
Michu and Pienaar ---> Bale and Sterling
2 free transfers
Solid transfers right?Open Controls
Crouch is a must have right now! He's going to go huge in the coming weeks!
Open Controls
A Stoke attacker can never be a must-have.
And I have him.Open Controls
crouch is never a must have
Open ControlsIf by go huge you mean get even taller you would be mistaken...he has reached the limit for tallness...now please have a tall glass of shut the hell up
Open Controls
Fellaini owners. Perhaps Pienaar will result in Mirallas becoming the wideman for Pienaar, thus pushing Pienaar back up as second striker? Naismith may be given a start on the right.
-------------Gibson/Osman/Neville
Naismith/Anichebe----------Mirallas
---------------------Fellaini
---------------------JelavicOpen ControlsFellaini* instead of 2nd Pienaar 🙂 which I hope so. Knowing my luck he'll still be out for the Pool game
Open ControlsIf Mirallas plays as on the left wing, as I suspect he will, then he wont really defend. Such that Baines is forced into being an actual defending left back. This will result in no crosses at Fellaini's head so it would be better of with Fellaini playing deep for this match.
Osman Naismith Mirallas
------------Jelavic
This four would work better together.Open Controls
Evening. Quick question, I've never heard of Wisdom before, does he seem like a nailed on LIV defender?
Open Controls
Happy to keep Michu. He played as striker and scored at the weekend. Despite Swansea's tougher fixtures, he offers very good value.
Open Controls
+8
Open Controls
I really don't have a clue. I have a feeling I'm at the "crossroads" and my next few transfers will make or break. So bloody tricky.
Hey ho... let's wait until the UCL stuff is over.Open Controls
Ok lads, I've made my first public table. Man UTd strikers especially Rooney and RVP for the last 2 GW's.
Please check it and vote for it.

Clearly the RoonPig way. Welbeck stats also interestingOpen ControlsHave to admit, I'm thinking of switching to Rooney
Open ControlsWell Rooney was fit and starting together with Van Man in the last 2 GW's. Clearly a sign upcoming nah?
Open Controls
not sure if i belive in stats anymore
they are fun and everything but football is so unpredicting game
Everton is one of the most atacking teams and qpr sucks in defence and Everton had only few shots at whole game
aslo-suarez dominates in ststistic but he dosn't show that often with atacking returns
nice table,btw
expectedOpen Controls
+1 people over-think things when it comes to stats.
I find common sense and luck works well for me.Open ControlsWildcard available!!! Well done mate. Clearly continuing the Euro FF. Well done mate.
P.S. Stats always win on midterm and especially no long term. I want Rooney and 2m extra. That is Michu vs Mata. Those 2mOpen Controls
Suarez and Downing are anti stats mate. If we multiply those stats with this conversion rate we get the same out come. But Rooney and RVP conversion rate is pretty much the same around 40%.
Suarez conversion rate is below 15% so the stats don't lieOpen ControlsMixed methods ftw.

FFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Open ControlsFAAAAAATHERRRRRRR
Open Controls
Early days yet but....who will win the title?
Chelsea, Citeh or United?Open Controls
starting to fancy chelsea, but they really need torres to step up. next week vs utd will tell us a lot
Open ControlsNorwich...slow start but they'll get there
Open ControlsUnited, but I'm biased. Huge game next weekend
Open Controls
Chelsea. Strongest squad.
Open ControlsNa. The way they're playing isn't overly reliant on a no.9. Barcelona don't particularly play with a striker cos they're all about possesion in the midfield. Chelsea, albeit early days are doing something similar with their increasinly awesome mid. Torres/Sturridge or even an advanced Hazard or Moses should be plenty imo.
Open Controls
As long as they're in the mix come january Chelsea could have a great shout. They do need another top class striker and no doubt they'll get one in the transfer window
Open Controls
Citeh
Open Controls
chelski
Open Controls
2FT. Walters and berb for michu and lambert decent transfers? Team linked. Cheers!
Open Controls
Clyne to Caulker?
Open Controls
Any chance Hoillet goal will become Baines Own goal

Open Controls
harte to gorkss on a freebies before harte drops in price again ya or na ? cheers
Open Controls

Open Controls
Who to play for GW9
Rafael (che)
Fonte (TOT)
Saylor (WBA)Open ControlsAnyone see Jordi Alba's own goal yesterday? It was spectacular! Bergkamp -esque
Open Controlsi saw it ! but what a thriller was that game !
before he got subbed off, Fabregas was absolutely the man of the man !
what a player tello is
Visca el Barça!!!!!!Open Controls
Just seen the Pienaar sending off..... A bit soft but that red card was coming sooner or later....
Open Controls
Have just enough cash for Lambert > Crouch. Yay or nay?
Open ControlsYay
Open Controls
Thank the lord we don't have to wait 2 weeks again for the next gw!
Open Controls
Do you think Tevez will start next week?
Open ControlsA sort of underlying map of template teams to come:
STOKE GUY
STOKE GUY // BAINES // GOALSCORING DEFENDER GUY // (THE UNSPEAKABLES)
THE UNTOUCHABLES (STERLING)
MADE IN MANCHESTER // BAOpen Controls
11 years, 8 months agoMichu, Tevez & Crouch for Lennon, Ba & Berbatov?
