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.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Going away tomorrow lads so won’t be able to check until Friday night/Saturday.

    Begovic (Foster)
    Baines Jenkinson Saylor (Demel Cuellar)
    Bale (c) Cazorla Michu Sterling (Pienaar)
    RVP Tevez Lambert
    2FTs, 0.6 in bank.

    Was going to do Lambert > Crouch now as wouldn’t be able to afford it if either changed price. Then for my other transfer I will have a look Friday/Saturday, e.g. see if Tevez plays in the week. Sound ok?

    Gibbs or Rafael?

    Going to lose one of them for Shawcross (if i can afford him) then do Michu --> Bale. Which i have been planning for weeks. Theres just pro's and con's for both of them but one of them needs to go! atm i'm leaning towards Rafael as Utd can't defend and have 2 awfully hard games coming up... but then after that they have villa, norwich and QPR!

      It's about the threat really, Migs has a much better chance of keeping the CS than Foster.

        It's the fact that i will own Walters that is the problem, unless there is a better option out there.

        Have such a bad 2 weeks that I think I might just say feck it and stick the (c) on Lennon

      Don't worry too much about the other players on your team. Just look at which one of the keepers you think his most likely to keep the CS. In my opinion, Stoke are far less dangerous in front of the goal, so I would play Mignolet.

    Another red arrow for me this week. After a good start I've yet to get a green one this season.

    Used my FTs already. Should I wildcard?

    Desperately need a good score next week.

      Sleep on it, Spencer! And watch the Champions League games before you decide.

      Would be my advice...

      I think I want to save my wildcard til after CL qualification. Basically want to wait until I know Aguero will be starting every week, amongst other things to get cleared up. I honestly don't know who I'd pick in a wildcard right now. Too much up in the air / good teams with bad fixtures.
