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.
Thanks for the advice.

I have him, if i had a free i would get rid of, but hes been on my bench every week for 6 weeks or something
Open ControlsHazza I need a player to have on the bench most weeks who is guarenteed a start in case of injury and kaca is not first choice or even second choice anymore.
Open Controls
Too much hype on Walters/Crouch.. gonna leave it for a week and see how things look then me thinks..
Open Controls
Half the site will get Walters/Crouch this week only to watch in horror as Kightly gets the points 😎
Open Controls
Snodgrass FTW 😛
Open ControlsWhat do you think of the new grav? I might change it.
Open ControlsMaloney Ftw.
Open Controls
Double up on Stoke's defense instead-Begovic and Wilson.
Open Controls
Your username fans the flames too 🙂

I'm thinking Tevez starts the match against Swansea and Mancini plays Dzeko-Aguero v Ajax? Anyone agree? I'd like to have Tevez against Swansea. Think he'll get at least 2 if he starts.
Open Controls
I have a feeling he will play Tevez and Aguero against Ajax
Open Controls
I have a horrible feeling (as a Tevez owner) it'll be Tevez/Aguero against Ajax and Aguero/Dzeko Versus Swansea. On the plus side we get to see who starts against Ajax before having to make that decision.
Open Controls
Evening gents. Well, after my visit to Anfield I'm convinced that dumping Suarez will be a good move for me. Although everyone on here knows his flaws as a FPL player already!
GJohnson was brilliant but a little pricey considering LFC fixtures. Wisdom looks a real player..the eponymous modern full back....big, strong, quick, good first touch, reads situations well and could provide a great way into a Liverpool defence that has (under the radar) had 2 CS in a row.
I don't think Robinson is a threat to him, and Flanagan is injured but from what I saw of him he's very prone to diving in recklessly and that's something Wisdom doesn't do. Kelly is out long term. And Wilson will be dumped in January.
Enrique is the main threat but I just feel Rodgers doesn't fancy him too much.
GJ @ LB and Wisdom @ RB is looking like the FB pairing, imo. Potential bargain when Liverpool's fixtures ease up (GW12 ->)
I would imagine Wisdom will stay in the team for the foreseeable.
First time seeing Allen live and was really impressed. Lovely little player but not for FPL purposes obviously.
Sahin was poor and Gerrard was very deep (can't believe he got BPs).
Reading were awful. Really, really bad.Open Controls
Suarez is the hardest player to own in fpl. On any week he could score a hatrick, but his finishing at times is appaling. I feel that as soon as I dump him he will score well, but if I hold onto him he never will score well.
Open Controls
Nice 🙂
I'm keeping an eye on Wisdom too. Big talent, great name.Open Controls
Great report...thanks...can't beat live footy for real "stats"...I'ts a shame about Allen, i had him in on week one but sadly he plays in that position in front of the back four for which there is no reward in FPL....Mikel is another....I was asking about Wisdom in the pub last night with another Liverpool fan...said the same as you...
Open ControlsNo probs.
Link your team mate. I saw your post a while back about an unusual TF strategy..would like to see how it works out for you.Open Controls
lost on last page.
Who do I need to transfer out/in?
Jaas/Foster
Baines/Rafael/Cuellar/Demel/Davies
Silva/Pienaar/Bale/Santi/Sterling
Tevez/Ba/BerbaOpen Controls
Silva > Mata seems a fairly straight forward swap. Nice team otherwise.
Open Controls
Could really use some help on this guys.....
1 free transfer....
Lambert > Crouch
or
RVP + Michu > Bale + Aguero (4 point hit)Open Controls
Whatcha reckon lads?
A) Suarez -> Ba (and start Guthrie this week)
B) Guthrie -> Sterling
C) Suarez & Pienaar - Mata & Ba (4 points)
D) Something else
Jaask, Fed
Baines, Hughes,Cuellar, McCartney, Clyne
Bale, Santi, Michu, Guthrie, Pienaar
RVP, Suarez, Berba
Bank 1.1m, 1 freebieOpen ControlsAre you considering Crouch at all?
Open Controls
C looks lovely if you're 100% alright with the hit.
Question. Why keep Michu over Pienaar? Is it the form? His fixtures aren't so hot for the next few barring 'sot'. I'm pondering the same thing to actually.Open ControlsMainly because Pienaar is banned for next week meaning I'd have to play Guthrie. Michu played as a striker at the w/e too, so he could be worth hanging on to. Also, I have Baines as some Everton coverage. Not sure about the hit though - took one this week which ended up costing me 10 points!! At least I'd probably keep Mata and Ba for the foreseeable I guess...
Open Controls
Which defender to replace A.Cole with? Have Baines already.
Open ControlsFront 8 of:
Mata / Sterling / Fellani / Nolan / Michu
Ba / Suarez / Jelly
One ft and 3.3 in the bank.
Should I do Fellani->Caz or do I need to get City or United cover and who and how?
Thanks 🙂Open ControlsRepost 🙁
Michu + Rangel > ? For 12.1 million lads.
Hit me with your best combinations please?Open Controls
Was I the only one listening to the "bond" MOTD2 closing sequence who couldn't stop thinking about that great Alan Partridge scene? "Baby your the best!".
Open ControlsCan't wait to see what the City line up is for Ajax...if Dzeko is left out he's in my team for Saturday 😀
Open ControlsYou being serious?
Open ControlsSeriously considering it myself, especially if Tevez (my current city attacker) plays the full 90. Not just that I'll throw him the F'n armband too against Swansea 😉
Open Controls
Van Perise has now played in 56 consecutive Premier League games, the only outfield player on a longer current run is Stoke's Jon Walters. His injury problems must be out of the window now!
Open Controlsright lads, I'm off.
Will look in tomorrow to see if there is a Scout or a Norwich fan knocking about who can tell me why Snodgrass was benched.Open Controls
Best GK rotation out there for next few GW's
I'm thinking Krul/Migs thoughts? cheersOpen ControlsZamora's 1 bonus point amused me, I did not see that one the horizon.
He was taken off early too!
In fairness he could of had a couple of goals...
.
Now I am left with the dilemma of transferring out
A Lambert (Arguably better fixtures, but likely to be benched away) ?
B Zamora (Looks like he could get a couple of goals despite the difficult fixtures) ?Open Controls
What would you do with this team?? I'm to wildcard in about 4 gameweeks so only looking at short term fixtures regarding transfers.
Krul (Bego)
Baines Rafael Shawcross Santon (Demel)
Caz Noble Sterling (Dyer Pienaar)
Torres RVP Fletcher
1ft, 1.3m in bank
Midfield looks shocking but am tempted to do Fletcher - Defoe/BerbatovOpen Controls
Is Fellainii back next match?
Open Controls
Is it daft to do Hazard--->Bale and then Bale to Mata after Bale plays sot and WIG?
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/4877/event-history/8/Open ControlsI've come to realise that Hazard is fixture proof. Don't sell him.
Open ControlsFeel as if Bale is close to a must have for sot and WIG..
Open Controls
Yep, was trying to get him into my team before this GW but couldn't 🙁
4 assists in a row! This can't last forever though...Open ControlsThe fixtures are not looking good for clean sheets.
Open ControlsYes, this.
Open Controls
Indeed, I couldn't help myself on Friday night and did Gibbs > Riise. It worked out very handsomely. I think he offers much more offensively to the likes of Gibbs and Fulham look at least solid at home.
Open Controls
Get rid of Piennar or Michu for Mata?
Open Controls
What other Everton cover have you got...If you have at least Baines then I'd shift Pienaar
Open Controls
The only way i would conside getting Suarez is if he was 8mil or less.
Open Controls*r
Open Controls
(a) Michu -> Bale and Suarez -> Ba (-4)
(b) Or...Michu -> Bale and Suarez -> Crouch and use the 1.5m saved to sort out Gunter and Davies in GW10 and GW11.
I'm really leaning towards (a) and just forget about my crap defence for a while..Open Controlswouldn't do the hit but Suarez -- Ba is a no brainer
Open Controls(a) for sure...
Open ControlsThanks for the replies.
Open ControlsOr you could go Suarez out Crouch in, Davies out Collicini in.
Open ControlsI could. But really want Bale for the next two. Cheers.
Open Controls
Michu michu michu, done me proud but is it time to say goodbye?! Even if he is out of position, woukd you play a Swansea striker in the next 2 fixtures?
Open ControlsYes...even if Swansea get spanked it's still plausible they can score.
Open Controls
Think of the rest of the season tho lad. Depends what u bought him for really.
Open ControlsCity's been conceding goals for fun this season, can easily see Swansea scoring.
Open ControlsMichu out, for me.
Open ControlsI am cashing in as soon as his price rises again to 7.3, I brought him at 6.5.
Open Controls
I'm doing this too... probably for Bale.
Open Controls
is cazorla -> mata knee jerk ok?
Open ControlsKrul (Bego)
Baines Rafael Shawcross Santon (Demel)
Caz Noble Sterling (Dyer Pienaar)
Torres RVP Fletcher
1ft, 1.3m in bank
Midfield looks shocking but am tempted to do Fletcher – Defoe/Berbatov. What do you think?Open ControlsPienaar to HBA?
Open Controls
11 years, 8 months agoIs Maloney still a decent pick I want to get rid of kaca and Sterling has poor fixtures.
