Another unplayable performance from Marouane Fellaini, ably supported by a string of outstanding Everton displays, lights up this weekend’s Big Numbers analysis, while the likes of Pablo Hernandez, Christian Benteke, Nicky Shorey, Robin Van Persie and Luis Suarez crash the party. Here’s our choice of the key statistics on show in the Gameweek so far…
My H2H is tight as a nat's chuff. I am 3 pts up and he's got McAuley. Cleanie and I'm doomed. What do you think?

I am admitting that I am well and truly addicted to a) FPL and b) FFS. I spend more time on this website than any other website on the net, even vastly outweighting various mega porn sites and since I have no Facebook, that too.
Is there something I should be worried about? Maybe I should take a break from this site? I was flying at this point last year, and I wasn't aware of this site then.
What am I saying, I love this site and you lot......i dooooooooooooooont know ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im crumbling. ''Crackin up he's crackin up....crackin up he's crackin up'' 🙂
I spend hours a day contemplating hits, transfers, form, fixtures, values, rises and drops, looking at other peoples teams, looking at my friends teams and so on.................im an addict.
Is there a fantasy footy anonymous or summat???Open Controls
This is the fantasy footy anonymous 😀

but wordpess is banned in Vietnam, it's hard for me to follow the articles or somethingOpen Controls:O. that's unfortunate. honestly there haven't been as many articles recently...
hmmm.... tell me, can you see this webpage though? http://www.precisely.me/blog/la-liga-tableOpen Controlsok great! so you can't see the posts on our website but you'll at least be able to follow your results and fixtures and league table which should be good enough I think.
does Pratik or one of the other council members have your email? just wanna make sure we can contact you later to let you know important info that will be released on our site that you cant see regarding applying for season two of the leagues which start gw 20Open Controls
Pheww...took -20 point hit and lucky to still get green arrow!
59 pts with Gera left to play (Gorkss 1st sub). Transferred out deadwood like Guthrie, Demel, Wilson and bought Fellaini and Gera 🙂
Bego
Baines Cameron Gorkks
Mata Bale Cazorla Fellaini
RVP Ba Suarez
Subs Tremmel Gera Clyne Nelsen, 1FT, 0.0 in the bank
Save FT?Open ControlsWow, it's slightly depressing I'm only leading you by 10 or so points...and you've taken two 20 point hits so far...very lucky!
Open ControlsJesussssssssssss man!!! Not only have you done it once, but you have done 20pts twice, and an 8pter, and you have a team value over 105m and are 60pts ahead of me!!!!!
What the hell is your secret/reasoning/logic/mental health problem???
Im gonna go rampant and drop a big smelly, curly, hit this week I think now after this!Open Controls
what is your buying value... (the value that matters)

Yeah, was very fortunate…actually if I knew Fellaini was on 4YC, I wouldn’t transfer him in. And he almost single-handedly paid all of my hits.
I am competing in both classic and ‘manager of the month’ style leagues, so I take big hits once in a whileOpen Controls
Hey Fellow Fantasists? RMT pls -
Foster
Baines - McCauley - Reid
Cazorla - Mata* - Michu - Pienaar
RVP - Ba* - Lukaku
SUBS: Jaasi - Kightly - Gorks - Clyne
£0.3 banked & 1FT. I resisted Pienaar>Fellaini price rise move. Gonna see if Lukaku does anything this evening.
Can you see any moves I should consider? Maybe Jaasi>Bego or Kightly>£5.8 MID?
Thanks in advance....Open Controls
Begovic or save it IMO, Kightly isn't the worst 5th mid at the mo. Just hope he plays 60 mins.
Open ControlsCheers Eddie. What about maybe Kightly>Sterling/Noble?
Open Controls
kightly > taarabt/maloney/sterling and raise some funds
Open ControlsGood call, Kendog. Hmm...QPR,WiG or LIV? I'm leaning towards Sterling......
Open ControlsSterling has fixtures and quality around him
maloney has free kicks + pens
Taarabt smashes them both out of the water in threat stats - shots/chances createdOpen Controls
Poor week, will be helped with Mirallas and Gorkss off the bench. Onwards and upwards. Is there anything to be said for another mass 🙂
Surfer Rosa :
Begovic
Gorkss, Sagna, Ivanovic
Sterling, Cazorla, Pienaar, Mata, Bale
Mirallas, Rooney
Foster, Fletcher, Cuellar, ClarkOpen Controlsship mirallas or fletcher depending on your bank
Open ControlsThanks Ken, I'm with you on Fletcher. Just got Sagna so no transfers this week but Fletcher will go unless he has an out-of-body experience and Messi starts to inhabit his body when he's gone. Gonna keep Mirallas for a while, his confidence is growing and very under-rated . He'll go soon enough though if he doesn't get some goals to complement his assists.

Surely Mark Hughes time is up now? If you can't beat Reading at home, who are you going to beat?!
Open Controls
City at away
Open Controls
I don't particularly like him but I think they'd be foolish to sack him right now...he kept them up by the skin of their teeth...that should earn him a bit of time imo. They will struggle this year but their squad should see them stay up again if they get it together.
Open ControlsHe has to go and quickly , but only if Harry wants job
Open Controls
Besides Cesar no one on that team would make a top 6 side. Taraabt is well over rated I reckon, looks good in Championship. Boswingwa, decent for a time at Chelsea, better attacker than defender, ultimately sold on. Wright Phillips, Ciise, Zamora, Nelsen and a few others have left their best days behind them. Granero and Hoilett seem the only real potential. I honestly think Barton, lout and all as he was, would give them that bit of fight. I heard that the wages are 200% of income, baled out by Fernandes. If they were paid on a performance rated basis most would be paying QPR after every game.
Open ControlsThey don't seem to be much of a unit. And I agree...I think some of their players are living off their reputations. It's a bit odd how wayward everything seems to be going for them...it's like they just signed a big bunch of 'names' and stuck them together...no cohesion or team spirit. I can't believe they even stayed up last year...it was a miracle...only thanks to other's ineptitude really! It was their home form that saved them...but they're not even winning games this season...looks like trouble.

very impressive. good team. although every week I am increasingly less sure about baines and his pricetag.
Open Controlsseems justifiable to be. I got him for 7.0m anyhow so no complaints here 🙂
Open ControlsHolding for one more, two more weeks at most and then downgrading and using funds in my midfield. Wish i could start the year again with a back 5 of 4-4.5mils. No regrets though.
Open Controls
impressive team
Open ControlsDecent mid and strikers. Lose Baines, Nelsen and McCartney and balance up your defence. Too reliant on Baines to the detriment of the other back. Most weeks if Everton concede Baines return does not reflect his price. A better balanced defence gives you more options.
Open ControlsWhat if you got him for 7.0m

What do you guys make of the hysteria about Wenger 'losing his way' at the moment...seems to be all over the media. It's around that time of the season where journalists smell blood and want to see the first sacking. It's crazy how hard a time Wenger gets from the media...I think if he was to go Arsenal would lose it's soul...they need his philosophy and don't need to be messing about thinking they can be title contenders if they just spent millions...and brought in some amateur. Losing a player like Van Persie is just about the biggest blow a team can take...especially if it's to their rivals. Personally I hope they prove the doubters wrong over the next 10 fixtures..and I hope they have Cazorla to thank for it!
Open ControlsPersonally I think it will be years again before they challenge for anything of any significance. No chance in the C.L and even less a chance at winning the league.
Wenger could be there another 20 years, but unless something fundamentally flawed changes at the club, they'll continue to be a huge club who are still far off the top, where they once were a short while ago.Open ControlsHe wont play Walcott , refuses to give Chakack a chance ,, his worst decision was letting Song go
Open ControlsSong, Nasri,Clichy, Fabregas, RVP
They could have played United this weekend with..........
Lloris (sits on spurs bench and could have been brill)
Sagna Vermaelen Koscielny Clichy
Arteta Song
Fabregas Cazorla Nasri
RVP
OH.....TO ....THE....DEAR.
Selling club. No longer big boys. That is all.Open Controls
soooo much criticism every season but yet they still manager to qualify for CL!
though honestly think how good they'd be if they had their current team plus all the players they've sold in the last 2-3 years, i'd say they'd be strong title contenders if that was the case. (though have to say I'm thankful they sold us cesc and song).Open ControlsI think they are far from out of the title race_He has the players but is juggling atm not helped by
Wilsheres antics/ and others, but that's only one game
I think top 4 at the very least_____ Wenger is one of the best
managers in football.
they will click again soonOpen Controls
Would getting Michu in now be daft?
Open Controlsfor who?

Heya guys.. Hate these sleepless weeks waiting for marquee players to be fit(in my case Mata and Ba) .. Anyone else given a thought to Crouch this week? Qpr are pathetic at defending headers.. Huth may be a brilliant shout as well.
Btw why was wilkinson taken off @ 84 mins? still nailed on we group think?Open Controlsjust read that wilkinson is w@nk too on stoke forums.. may have to change my plans a bit 🙁
Open ControlsHe's nailed on probably while Wilson is out. I'd be more keen on Stoke's attack if they showed some form...but they're creating nothing...not scored in two games now.
Open Controls
Good morning All,
So who that has Ba is keeping him? For me the fact he has gone off twice in a row suggests he might be out for a couple of GW's now..
I am looking at Ba to Tevez for a hit this week now... Yay or NayOpen Controlsi'm having the same dilemma.... i'd like to keep him if i know he's gunna be fit but if not then i'll probably ship.
for me either i ship ba for rvp, berb for rvp, or lambert for rooney. couple possibilities all for either -4 or -8.
for you maybe ship. but i might be tempted to wait a week and then get suarez next weekOpen Controls
The week is long. Stay away from your keyboard.
Open ControlsIf prices look like changing I will do it whenever I want.. I don't mind taking that risk... Tevez looks to be losing some NTI so no rush

Coming from a fan, this is sad, but I'm afraid it's also true.

"What constitutes achievement at Arsenal has changed and this will hurt Wenger. He knows that this isn’t good enough. Arsenal v Manchester United used to be a season’s highlight. Right now one of the modern game’s most enduring rivalries would appear to be over."Open Controls
RVP (c) bonus helped so much 🙂 Same with Gorkss. I closed the gap in my ML from 21 to 4 lol. Foster to play
I have 49 points (-4). How is everyone doing?Open ControlsBen Arfa did better then expected, up to Lambert now! If Lambert can come off the bench for Mata and get better then 8 points then I can say that my Mata -> Santi trade worked....
Open ControlsWhat the hell...Silva dropped...I did not see that coming....I thought he was miles off. That is excellent news! I've been praying he'd drop so I could afford him later on...he's now 9.3m...I'm onto you Silva. 😀
Open ControlsIf he is back in time for this weekend for Spurs would you both get him in???
Personally I wouldn't touch even if I was using your points, until he is under 9m and showing some kind of form week in week out. Let's face it, although he was getting back to form, he is a country mile off the player he was this time last year.Open ControlsHe'll never be under 9m....I don't think it's possible...but 9.2/9.3 considering he started at 10 could be decent value in my eyes...he'd be the ultimate differential at such low ownership. I think he makes City tick...they badly need him back on form...Tevez is doing all the Silva work for the time being...but it's not working out as well at the moment...once Silva is back I think City will be back firing. Anyway...I just love Silva...one of my favourite players to watch.
Open Controlsagreed. i'd wait a couple weeks until silva gets back into the rhythm of things and if you're lucky maybe he'll drop to 9.1 or 9.2, doubt he'll drop to 9.0 or below though and still his price now is good value imo if he can replicate last season
Open ControlsProblem is, how to incorporate him?
It's hard enough spreading wealth the rest, now we throw Silva in the mix again!
Sounds like we'll be trumping the golden mid of Silva Mata Bale Caz again in a couple weeks, and you can kiss RVP goodbye with dreams of those 4 in the mid.
No chance....pick two of those and that's it for me.Open Controls
Oh completely mate, he's one of the best pure footballers in the league and in all of Europe on his day. Fact of the matter is, Yaya should be playing CAM and he's not. We'd be alright without Silva, for the short term, but only if Yaya is allowed to roam freely.
Silva was a mainstay in my team from start to finish last year!Open Controls
lets discuss about the essentials.who according to u are must have in the team untill the jan wc.
mine- rvp,rafael,mata, 1 stoke deffenderOpen ControlsSilva could be added to that list soon 🙂
I agree with that. Wish I could fit Rafael into my squad nowOpen Controls

Fellaini in for a hit? (involves ditching Pienaar)
Keep or ditch Ba?

Fellaini in for a hit? (involves ditching Pienaar)
Keep or ditch Ba?
Discuss!Open ControlsOk next in a long line of questions/statements.
I think i have figured out a way around the RVP problem..........Get Rooney and Valencia in instead *(already have Raf). Almost guaranteed assists for RVPs goals, and when he doesn't score, theres a good chance one of those 3 will be!!!
Yay?Open ControlsNo.. terrible logic.
Open Controlsi've thought about that. but you're overlooking a few things: 1) captaincy 2) not sure if any of those 3 will score rvp corners 3) rvp fk' 4) rvp pens? not sure about his one though
Open ControlsRooney cannot sit back and let RVP take everything. Freekicks from the left side of the box should and probably will be Rooneys, although it would clearly make sense to have RVP take ones from the right side.
Pens I will give you....but....you dont know if it will be rooney or RVP from now on, regardless of Rooneys last miss.
It was just a thought and I think you are both right.Open Controlstrue they should split fk's left and right. though i recon rvp might get the ones right down the middle
not sure about pens. but just throwing out the possibility.
yeah its always nice when someone throws out an idea though. good food for thoughtOpen ControlsRVP 100% on pens now.. Rooney's conversion rate is only 65%, pretty shite for a class striker of his ability.
Open Controls
Valencia is quality but not quiet hitting the heights yet this season. Avoid him until he does. If you want RVP that badly ( over-priced in my opinion) get rid of Tevez, Vertonghen and Baines, yes Baines. RVP, Gorkss and other cheapie defender.
