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.

Guys who is nailed on in attacking terms of man city its so hard
Open Controls-
yaya toure
Open Controls -
Aguero, Dzeko, Silva, Nasri
Open Controls -
Dzeko...nailed on for 17mins and 3 goals...basically 20PPG...buy or be left behind
Open Controls -
Probably Milner...Mancini loves him.
Open Controls-
-
The question was who is nailed on for City (attacking wise). My answer is Milner.
Open Controls
-
-
-
Yaya.
Open Controls -
Tevez IMO solid returns so far
Open Controls
-
Nocerino has been letting me down, time for a new grav.
Open Controls -
Huth or Riise for the next few weeks? Already have Wilson and Hangeland.
Open Controls -
Apologies for repost but was at the bottom of last page...Looking ok for next week? Going away this week so may not be able to have another look. Do have 1 more FT left. Captain, Bale, Cazorla or Tevez?
Begovic
Baines Jenkinson Saylor
Bale (c) Cazorla Michu Sterling
RVP Tevez (vc) Crouch
Foster Demel Cuellar PienaarOpen Controls-
No Chelsea will hurt you, keeping in mind their form over fixtures... I would recommend at least having Mata... Assist as well as goal potential...
Open Controls
-
-
Danny Rose should be classified as a defender...it's so annoying...what makes him a midfielder when his position is left back...I'd get him in instead of Cuellar for my obligatory 'Buy a player from your own team' transfer
Open Controls -
Is Cazorla all stats!!??
Open Controls -
this james bond nonsense on match of the day is making me angry
Open Controls -
2 free transfers, Any suggestions ? Nothing in the bank!
Vorm (Gazzinga)
Baines-Vermaelan-Cole (Demel, Barnett)
Caz, Hazard, Michu, Yaya (Guthrie)
Suarez, Lambert, PodolskiOpen Controls-
Some similarities with my team. I'm thinking, downgrade Hazard to Mata so I can upgrade Gazzaniga (to Begovic) and Lambert (possibly to Crouch)
Open Controls-
Thinking of keeping Lambert, some good fixtures coming up! I was thinking about maybe Podolski to Defoe or Ba ?

Have 2 FTs this week
Fletcher & Pienaar > Ba & Walters
Then Suarez to Jelly 2 weeks
Sound?Open Controls -
why did Bale have to go and have a child when I needed fpl points from him... should have had in in the international break! so selfish of him!
Open Controls-
I wish I had him so Sterling would come off my bench...11 points lost forever
Open Controls -
His goal celebrations will be vomit inducing.
Open Controls -
not sure it was his doing.
I think Terry was the culprit and it coincided nicely with his ban.Open Controls-
its always Terry...

What happened to Saylor today? Will he play next game?
Open Controls-
-
For like 10 mins. A helpful response would be nice.
Open Controls-
try emailing Pardew:
willsaylorplaynextweekbecauseiamcrap@fpl.comOpen Controls-
LOL!
Open Controls

-
he was injured last GW and played the last 10m of the game this GW.. meaning he will be fully fit next match and probably get back on the starting 11
Open Controls

Only coming back from injury. Should start next game. Williamson played well today though.
Open Controls

Any help greatly appreciated. I'm now 80 pts behind my mini league rival. My team is:
Jussy, foster
Baines, ivanovic, Rangel, Figueroa, Gorkss
Hazard, cazorla, Fellaini, Michu, Guthrie
RVP, Berb, lambert
He has same front 3, hazard and Michu but bale and Pienaar instead of cazorla and Fellaini.
Would it be crazy to ditch RVP in search of a differential? Maybe Rooney, Aguero or Suarez?Open Controls -
Repost
Really need Mata in and pretty much set on it.
A) Tevez and Michu to Mata and Crouch
B) Tevez and Michu to Mata and Kone
C) Any other striker below 7.9 (already have berba)Open Controls -
Ok my defense is
GJ Baines Gibbs Gallas Wilson. That defense is perfect. Literally I am set till the winter WC and even more. Always great choices to play someone and all of them good value. I believe this season investing in defense is the right call.
But is it too much at the back? I might downgrade Gibbs or Gallas potentially?Open Controls-
Galas may well be dropped - had a stinker yesterday.
Open Controls-
I am worried about Gallas too. I just want to take care about the defense and do not worry about wasting transfer at the back. Always more value upfront doing transfers. I've learnt last year. 4.0m defenders are hit and miss.
Also around Christmas u need big cash at the back due to rotation.Open Controls
-
-
-
Yeah it is perfect IMO, you've got your self a deal. I constantly get points from the back. They don't give u flair but steady steady pts. That means u never have bad week.
I am considering Gallas to Davies although when needed cash.Open Controls
-
-
too expensive
Open Controls-
I think Galllas will go. But 5.0m defender for a Spurs defender is a bargain as BAE showed last year nah?
Open Controls

Pienaar said after the match he only got sent off because he was angry about not being awarded an assist...he admitted he was furious after Swansea-gate too and it was just pent up aggression that needed to come out.
Open Controls-
Funny
Open Controls -
he needs to grow his hair back asap
Open Controls -
"it's just so unfair when I don't get awarded the assists" pienaar said, "at the end of the day, every 3 points count and its unfair on my owners" he went on "I feel like there is a conspiracy to make sure Crouch gets more points than me"
Open Controls-
Crouch: I believe that is a tall story...and I would know about those! 😀
Open Controls

Which is better
A) Fletcher and Bale
B) Ba and Nasri
Thanks!Open Controls-
A

I'm bizarrely tempted to downgrade RvP => Rooney in order to be able to do Michu => Mata.
It all depends of course on whether Rooney will play deeper if van Persie's on the pitch. Chris Glover said a couple of weeks ago on his blog that Rooney would "simply be unownable for the rest of the season" due to the danger of him becoming an £11.7 reverse OOP midfielder. Bu then again Rooney is £1.7m cheaper than RvP and has scored well in the last two gameweeks.
What do you reckon?Open Controls-
I don't know at the moment but I think I agree with what someone said on here...that RVP will be more the main man in away games where he will play up there alone more often than not. These plum home games are great for Rooney as Man Utd can run riot but not so much with away games where they need to be clinical and tighten up...which brings RVP clinical scores when he wants in to play.
Open Controls -
Rooney drops deep but he's all over the pitch nearly all the time, its the way he seems to like to play. He's like the mate who hogged the ball, who never passed it and scored all the goals. An out and out glory hunter he is. He will still rack up consistantly good scores, He has that knack of knowing where to be and when to be there, especially in a United shirt

What to do with my crap team??
Schwarzer Ruddy
Rafael Rangel Baines Demel Saylor
Cazorla Michu Pienaar Ben Arfa Guthrie
RVP Suarez Berb
1.7mil.
Willing to make two transfers but dont know where to start?Open Controls-
Not a bad team at all.maybe get rid of Rangel as Swansea have lost defensive form and fixtures aren't great.
Open Controls-
I should really get rid but I always view defence low down on my list of priorities.
Why I have Guthrie and Suarez is beyond me. I really could do with Bale or Mata aswell.Open Controls
-
-
I think its decent mate.
STaylor maybe not nailed on.
Rangel poor fixtures coming up.
Other than that Pienaar is suspended, may want to get someone else in for next gameweekOpen Controls
-
-
Gervinho nailed on and a cheap way into arsenal attack..?
Open Controls-
gervinho stinks. i really wouldn't go for him.
Open Controls
-
-
Now that Swansea have some tough fixtures coming up, I am going to drop Rangel. I therefore am looking for a replacement. How do you think O'Shea of Sunderland fits the bill, or defenders from Spurs or Reading any better with fixtures? Or any suggestions welcome!
Open Controls -
So Everton will be without Fellani & Pienaar for next week... They might struggle a bit...
Open Controls-
I can see where this is heading, but I am NOT buying Suarez 😉
Open Controls
-
That Pienaar sending off is such bullsh!t...
Open Controls -
Up to 5th in the Scout league. Hoping to get a mention in the Scoutcast. 😉
Open Controls-
nice one
Open Controls -
They mention the top 3, Renoir Buffon and the new entry in the top 5 I guess ? If that's true, you're in with a chance. 😉
Open Controls-
Fingers crossed. 😛

Your rank is almost as low as the amount of points you got in your first season. Impressive!

Random fact: Michu scored a brace against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu last season. Rayo Vallecano lost 2:6.
Just saying 😉Open Controls -
Would you wildcard this gameweek with this bunch??? Yes or no??
Begovic Federici*
ACole* Baines STaylor* Hangeland* Jenkinson*
Bale Cazorla Noble Yaya* Michu*
Tevez Fletcher* Graham*
Starred the ones im thinking of changing.
Thanks in advanceOpen Controls -
Ben Arfa for Sterling & Michu or Nolan for Bale orCarzola. Any good?
Open Controls -
Who are these 11,000 people who have brought Michu already this gameweek? Fair enough if you have him there is a case to keep him, but to buy him in now giving their fixtures... I dont get it and its making me nervous about selling him in case he goes up in price!
Open Controls -
First two weeks, had Bale, he didnt do well... Sold him, he scored a lot...
First two weeks, didnt have Hazard, brought him in and he scored low...
On WC last week, brought in Giroud, Berba, Cazorla and Ivanovic... They all score 2 or less...
For next week, brought in Mata, so it is logical that he will start failing... Might as well quit FPL...Open Controls -
Need to get rid of Gunter, any decent defenders for 4.7? Thinking Baird, is he playing midfield?
Open Controls-
Wilson...
