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.
-
Is there a better value for money forward line than
Ba Berbatov FletcherOpen Controls-
I like Crouch far more than Fletcher.
Open Controls -
Dzeko instead of Fletcher.
Open Controls -
Not sure about Fletcher, the goals are starting to dry up for him.
By having such a forward line, am not sure how confident will you be captaining one of them?Open Controls-
Ba
+ i have caz hazard bale and baines as captain options
berbs also if i have a gut feeling on himOpen Controls
-
-
Add Dzeko in there
Open Controls-
Do you think Dzeko is sufficient Man City cover? Isnt there a risk he will not even play some weeks?
Open Controls-
You asked is their better value...Dzeko is amazing value but yes...he wont play some weeks
Open Controls-
Sorry I didnt ask abut value but I was told on the previous page you were the guy to talk to about having Dzeko. It would free up cash but Im concerned about his game time. You definitely think he is worth having anyway?
Open Controls-
It is to do with his fixtures and the potential he could have over other strikers at his price range. He may not play all of the games but if he does then he can be explosive like few other strikers. If he could get you an explosive score one or two weeks then he would be totally worth it.
But this isn't long term...I'm talking about getting him in for the right time. You need to monitor whether he plays in the champions league as if he doesn't he will be in the team for Swansea most likely. Therefore he could be worth getting in and hope for a huge score...which he is capable of.Open Controls

What changes would you make in this team?
Foster Begovic
Baines Gibbs Nelsen Gorkss Davies
Santi HBA Nolan Sterling Puncheon
RVP Aguero Fletcher
Have 2 ft, 3 in the bank.
Thinking of doing: Fletcher + HBA —-> Ba + Bale
Sounds ok? Would love some opinions
Cheers!Open Controls -
Sell Michu or Pienaar or keep both?
Open Controls -
Pienaar -> Nolan for 1 week only or use my freebie to sort out def????
Demel (Inj), Gibbs (Inj) and Saylor (didn't start), Rangel (away MCI), JenkinsonOpen Controls -
current squad with 2.3m and 2 freebies
thinking lambert out for sure.
Foster
Baines | Rafael | Hughes
Cazorla | Hazard | Pienaar | Michu
RVP | Berba | Lambert
Begovic, Guthrie, Cuelllar, DemelOpen Controls -
So if he doesnt start midweek, he will surely start next weekend.

About to pull the trigger on this:
Ivanovic + Pienaar
to Wilson + Mata
Any last words?Open Controls-

That's all I needed to hear.

Open Controls

good trasnfers,go for it
Open Controls -
Do you have Bego? I wouldn't double Stoke so quickly if that's the case.
Mata...what can I say...a beautiful man...Open Controls -
do it.
Open Controls -
I don't like it. As a pair, the first option looks better.
Open Controls-
Can't see Chelsea keeping too many cleanies in the coming weeks but if they keep scoring at will, I'm going to have to get an attacker in. Also, Stoke's fixtures are tasty.
Open Controls

Go with that flow CS... I am astounded, pleasantly so 🙂

Mata won't rise twice before then, will he? 😕

how come Suarez is the man of the match and doesn't get any bonus point?
Open Controls-
Because he was a little racist once to Evra, Bonus points are decided on these kind of factors.
Open Controls-
What's with your Mata love? , did you even have him?
Open Controls-
For this week? No sadly...for GW1/2/3...yes sadly
I just think he's probably my favourite premier league player...I love the way he plays. Him Silva and Cazorla... I have a soft spot for them 😳Open Controls-
Nothing wrong with our english boys, stop humping the bloody spaniards.
I am sure there is some derogatory term I should have used.Open Controls

In the old BP system he would got 2 surely.
Open Controls

as i said manny times before - stupid bps system
Open Controls -
Suarez has had minus points on the PPI for 5 out of the 8 weeks played so far. PPI does not like shots off target. Suarez misses the target - a lot.

Rooney or Van Man? After the Ars game
Open Controls-
depends who is at pens...
Open Controls-
Almost 2m between them. But Ferige benched both of them. Who is more nailed on is my prime tie breaker. I still don't know who. I captained both of them for 1pt cameo this year. Not good memories

Care to take a look at this,
Bego/Jussi
Baines/Johnson/Ridgewell/Cuellar/Gorkss
Hazard/Cazorla/Michu/Morrison/Guthrie
RVP/Jelavic/Berbatov
1 FT
0 in the bank
Worried by lack of City but who to bring in? Might just go Hazard to Mata in a small tidy op to raise cash.
Any ideas?
CheersOpen Controls-
-
Like two big boys at the back. GJ seems to be on the verge of attacking returns. Cheers anyway
Open Controls

Don't ditch GJ. He is the lad who is a differential and capable for 15 - 18pt haul. Big score is just around the corner

Not planning to

Have RVP facing off against Ivanovic, and Suarez meeting Baines next week, each in my starting XI. Is problem?
Open Controls-
Not really, it's going to happen in some weeks. Both Baines and Ivan can get you attacking points anyway.
Open Controls-
I don't mind 1 striker meeting a defender, but 2 of each just seems like a lot of cancelling out, and I'm not sure I've ever done that in 3 seasons of FPL. Just hope you're right about Baines and Ivan pitching in on high scoring games!

Is Jelavic > Ba worth doing?
WBA liv WHU SWA sou sto WIG vs. LIV ful SUN rdg NOR ARS mci
A good run of fixtures for both, I'd back Newcastle as slightly more likely to score in those games. No real way to get HBA in. Jelavic without Pienaar is less appealing also.
Still it looks close.Open Controls -
Annoyed with my 17k rank. Considering I was in the top 2k!

thanks for sharing

A player/coach receiving two yellow cards in a single game will not have two yellow cards counted towards his yellow card cumulative total. This occasion is considered a red card, and the player must sit the next scheduled game for the red card.
so pienaar will remain on 1 so farOpen Controls-
That's very interesting. I was pondering this right when Pienaar got his first yellow. Thanks for this interesting bit of information mate!
Open Controls-
It's funny too...does that mean if a player is on 4 yellow cards and due a suspension...he could get a yellow...then get sent off...be suspended...then come back and be on 4 yellows again...get a yellow and be suspended again!

Just my thoughts on Aguero...
The logical thing to do is get tevez in. He is starting nearly every prem game and is ticking over with the points.
I switched him out for Aguero a few weeks ago, and to be fair, Aguero has scored or assisted in every game since I've bought him in, despite coming off the Bench.
I reckon when he starts - he's going to explode. And I think he's due a start soon. In fact, I'm captaining him next week *SHOCK*
But anyway, I know the risks and I know atm Tevez is a better option... I just have this feeling about Aguero and I want him when the time comes.Open Controls-
I had tevez
Just sold him last night for Ba
Cant be bothered 2nd guessing tinkerman manciniOpen Controls -
IF Aguero is subbed off in the Champs league this week then his chances of starting this weekend will be improved. I also think that because there's no Champs league after this weekend, his chances of starting improve again. It all feels a bit spectacle but he has HUGE potential over the next four gameweeks as city's number one striker.

Is hazard, suarez and pienaar to mata, ba and Bale for a hit (-4) a good move?
Sub midfielder is guthrie and i think Bale will run riot vs s'hampton.Open Controls -
Stick with Guthrie or upgrade to Kebe or McAnuff??
Open Controls-
Stick with him no point In wasting a transfer

Anyone know when sunderlands dgw is?
Open Controls-
Not sure but given their goal record i would be reluctant to get any other sunderland players
just sticking with fletcher loing termOpen Controls

Looking at doing 3 transfers this week for 4pts.
Gibbs -> Wilson, I'm sure of, worth doing tonight incase Gibbs falls?
Not sure on my two others, some opinions would be welcomed.
Yaya -> Bale or Mata
Lambert -> Berba or Crouch.Open Controls-
Gibbs will probably be back in and at home to QPR (unless you know something I don't)
I like Mata and Berbs inOpen Controls
-
-
Is Caulker nailed on?
Open Controls -
A) Ben Arfa + Crouch or B) Ba + Walters
your thoughts appreciatedOpen Controls-
I prefer A
Open Controls
-
N Dyer to Kightly or Morrison or Lallana or McClean?
Open Controls -
Might click go on
Fed > Bego
Fabio > Wilson
2FTs. Sorts my defence out
And then see if anything else looks worth a hit after the CL games.
Good to go now before those two drop any more? They do badly need doing... Or am I too keenOpen Controls -
Any suggestions on how i could make up 0.8 out of this lot?
Jaaskelainen | Cerny
Baines | Davies | Wisdom | Nelsen | Clyne
Cazorla | Hazard | Bale | Mata | Robson-Kanu
Berbatov | RVP | Ba
0.8 over the budget.
Thanks 🙂Open Controls-
That defence is atrocious. Lose Hazard or Cazorla.
Open Controls -
That defence is disgusting. Downgrade Hazard to 6m ish.
Open Controls -
Hazard to Walters and upgrade at the back
Open Controls -
lose baines and go all out attack.
Open Controls -
Lose baines and 2 cheapies and get three 5m defenders instead

You have 6 midfielders...I'd sell Robson or Kanu...you can't have both you greedy b*stard!

Hey folks
I have 1 FT and £4.3 in the bank.
Am thinking taking a hit to do:
Fletcher and Davies out.
Crouch in; and which defender?
Foster, Begovic
Baines, Davies, Demel, Cuellar, Gorkks
Nolan, Cazorla, Michu, Bale, Guthrie
Ba, RVP, Fletcher
Thank youOpen Controls-
Fletcher to Aguero? Surely he won't be benched 3 games in a row
