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…
Yeah probably.
Open Controls
Is Evans likely to keep is spot, or am I better off just getting Rafael?
Open Controls
He will till Vidic is back then I don't know. Vidic is out till Christmas so plenty of gws for him to play
Open Controls
Hi guys,
Do you think my teams needs any changes?
Begovic (Jussi)
Baines, Cameron, Williamson (Ridgewell, Demel)
Fellani, Bale, Michu, Hazard (Sterling)
RVP, Tevez, BerbsOpen ControlsNah looks good.
Open Controls
Possibly, also Terry soon to return from his ban, on form deserves his place, would be a top option were he nailed on.
Open Controls
Who will score more points for the next 4 - 8 weeks?
BALE: city - ars - WHM - LIV - ful - eve - SWA - STO
SANTI: FUL - TOT - avl - eve - SWA - WBA - rdg - wigOpen Controls
36 very poor, seeing as I had most of that by 2pm Saturday through RVP (c) and Santi!!! Clyne subbing for Mata tonight....god help me on that one!
Glad I didn't get Bale now, as he has two tough games. Not sure I trust Arsenal or Spurs, thinking of getting Tony V for Santi next week then I'll be doubling on Chels (Haz/Mata) and Utd (RVP/Tony V) and Tevez for City cover.
Thoughts?Open Controls
Tony V's stats are less than impressive. Comes out worse than Nasri, Bale, Cazorla. Also rotation risk due to Fergies diamond that he tried a few times.
Open ControlsTrue. Will monitor it. Good value at 8.6 though. But I got Santi at 9.0 so happy with that. Gone off Bale especially as he's now 9.8. Too much for me in a flakey team. Might sit tight until Silva is fit actually and maybe trade Tevez. We'll see...
Open Controls
Hangeland to Shawcross OR Santon???
Stoke and I double up OR NewC has nice fixtures, rotates nice with SUN, but not keeping many CS's hmmmmOpen ControlsI was set for a new defender, collo out is making me have second thoughts. So probably Shawcross
Open ControlsI'd go Santon if I was you
Open ControlsI think you need one of Shawcross/Huth/etc as Stoke are as tight as you can get at present, outside of Arsenal/Chels/City prices.
I like Shawcross as he is 100% nailed, cheaper than Huth who actually doesn't score much these days, and gets 2 or 3 a season himself. Bonus magnet too.Open ControlsWould be happy to double up though? I already have bego?
Open Controls
Team linked. 2 FT.
Happy with everything bar no Utd cover. Any ideas how I can get some?Open Controls
I take it many of us will be hoping for a Foster clean sheet?
Open ControlsNope 😉
Open Controls
Yep them too. I've gone 4-0 WBA so there should be an assist or two from a big punt.
Open Controls
1 goal from Lambert and I'm happy, more and I'm ecstatic.
Open Controls
Pienaar or Felliani?
Open Controls
Felliani, He's so hot right now.
Open Controls
Until he blanks for another 3 fixtures before his next two goals...
Open ControlsWeek 1 - Blank
Week 2 - Injury
Week 3 - Assist
Week 4 - Two goals
Total points 21
Average 5.25 points per week. Better than Pienaar (2.25 points per week over the same four gameweeks)Open ControlsWe are in week 10. He hadn't scored since week 5. I just think one game is a little knee-jerky. He had a great game though, quality player.
Open Controls
Or get rid of Bale and have both (I have Pienaar already right now)
Open Controls
fellaini! pienarr isnt explosive at all and i dont think hes a fantasy player! he just nicks the odd assist
Open Controls
I have Pienaar, but admit Fellaini is the better option. Far more attacking, but having said that Pienaar is a steady eddy for points, assist and bonus here and there. Good value for the 6.5 he cost me. Very tempted by both once Fellaini's inevitable ban is over (he's on 4 yellows).
Open ControlsFellaini is also better away than at home. That and his 4 yellows are causing me to hold off for now.
Open Controls
I made that mistake this weekend even though I'm a big Fellaini fan 🙁
Open Controls
What do people think of transferring out Hangland and getting in Gibbs (once he's fit). I've just got rid of Vorm (late I know) for Jaaskelainen, who rotates well with Begovic
Open ControlsI know i should do Kolarov->Rafael this week but... what if Kolarov plays 🙂
Open ControlsYou have Kolarovitus.....
Open ControlsYou're forgetting the PPP rule: Pick Players that Play.
Open ControlsJafalad!!! Where you been mate?
Open Controls
even if he does....think spurs will score.....and he won't score every week.. 😛
Open ControlsOfcourse. I am getting Rafa 😀
Open Controls
What would you prefer?
A. Jelavic and Valencia
B. Suarez and Fellaini
Problem with B is that they are both on 4 yellows, but crazy form!Open ControlsThere's a reason why we have 'Suspension tightrope' articles. I wouldn't bring in players who are likely to serve bans soon.
Open ControlsYup, thought so. Cheers mate!
Open Controls
A if you are getting them now, B after their bans!
Open ControlsCool, thanks. I think Ill balance the risk with Jelavic and Valencia, and maybe get Luis later. Just a frontline of RVP, Tevez, Suarez with OOPs Michu, Fell and Ramirez in the centre is bloody tempting. But having 3 players on the tightrope is a big big risk:)
Open Controls
B
Open Controls
Slowly working towards getting my season back on track.Would like your opinions on this lot.
Foster / Begovic
Baines / Gibbs / Nelsen / Gorks / Davies
Bale / Sterling / Cazorla / Nolan / Puncheon
RVP / Aguero / Ba
1 ft, 0.3 cash left.
Do the boring Gibbs—> Evans move? or any other suggestions?
Cheers!Open Controls
Which one or two transfers will best benefit my team?
Foster - Begovic
Ivanovic - Rafael - Gibbs - Demel - Davies
Bale - Mata - Michu - McAnuff - Sterling
RVP - Suarez - Holt
0.5m spare
I want to eventually transfer out possibly gibbs, mcAnuff, holt and daviesOpen ControlsOkay FFS got 1 FT and 0 in bank

Open Controls
how many points are we predicting will be needed to qualify for Cup competition at the moment, I'm on 44?
Open ControlsYou should qualify.
Open Controls
Bergo (Foster)
Rafa - Baines - Gorkks (demel;Rangel)
Bale - Mata - Michu - Pienaar(Sterling)
Rooney Ba(c) Berbatov
Any weak links?Open ControlsMata & Ba depending on news.
If fit, nice.Open Controls
Looks like only 2 or 3 will survive the Early Bird this week. 🙂
Open ControlsLooks like it will be you vs Reply Fail for the title. The old leader will probably get knocked out.
Open ControlsHe's the old leader. Touch and go whether he'll stay in it.
Open ControlsWhat team is his?
Open ControlsJames Fitzgerald
Open Controls
38 + Clyne might not be enough after autosubs.
Open Controls
Just had a look at the Ful-Eve highlights. Dont have Berba or Ruiz, but the first one should def be a Ruiz goal and Berba assist. Not an OG, the ball was going in as it is.
I know people have been talking about it, but am shocked there has been no query or clarification for changes to the same.Open Controls- Open Controls
and really, what is that:D?
Open Controls
No it was an own goal because the ball rebounded off the post onto the back of the goalie then into the goal. Had the goalie not been there it simply would have rebounded back into play.
Open ControlsTechnically had the goalie not been there it would've gone straight in, but I still think it's an OG. 😉
Open ControlsReally? I thought it hit the post pretty solid and not just glanced the inside of the post.
Open ControlsHoward saved it onto the post, then it deflected onto his back and in.
Open Controls
How? Are you saying had the goalie not been there, he would have hit the target more easily? Lol!!
Its quite clearly an own goal. I dont see where the debate comes into it.Open Controls
See below--one thing no observers disagree about was that had Howard not nudged it onto the post it would have flown directly into the goal. That is not in debate. The only debate is about whether that counts as an OG.
Open Controls
That's some seriously wishful thinking! And I have Berbatov.
Open ControlsWell, I guess I am wrong then.
I thought it was going in. Really harsh on Howard, Ruiz still.Open ControlsIt was definitely going in. Howard nudged it onto the post. There are obviously disagreements about what should count as an OG, but for me a shot on its way into the goal was interfered with by the goalie in what was ultimately an elaborate but failed attempt to make a save. The guys on Goals on Sunday agree and thought it was an obvious Ruiz goal. But some have a plausible argument that when Howard pushed it onto the post Ruiz's shot ended--ie, it was a successful, not failed, save--and we start over with a phantom ball coming off the post which Howard than scored into his own net. It all comes down to what you think counts as an OG--did Howards deflection to the post end the shot or was it all part of a failed attempt to save it? It's all abstraction so just pick one and lets not keep arguing. Oh, and I own Berb. 😉
Open Controls
IMO it was an OG. The original shot on target is irrelevant since it went in by another means.
I'm not a fan of this assist for the man winning the free kick anyway. It's an unnecessary relaxing of the assist rule which is already quite ridiculous at times.
I'm a Berbatov owner.Open ControlsI agree with your second point, obviously not the first. If I were making the rules Berb would not get an assist for essentially getting fouled. But as long as it is the rule I don't mind arguing for the points! 🙂

1 FT left having already done BlahBlah > Fellaini
Have Vorm, Rangel, Jarvis & Giroud ready to walk the plank.
Where would be my most effective upgrade? Team is linkedOpen Controls
Hey every1 i could really do with help in improving my defence . Pls
Begovic Ruddy
Rafael Cuellar Hangalaad jenks rangel
Michu Bale Cazorla Piennar Sterling
Jelivic Crouch RvpOpen Controls
I know it’s early and I’m probably going to get some injuries until then, but which upgrade should I do for GW12. I’ve already used my free trannie for this coming GW so I’m planning ahead:
I have 1.2m in the bank so:
A) Fed -> Bego (hey, I’m going to have to do this transfer sometime)
B) Kaca -> McAnuff/Sterling/Maloney (simply, he’s not nailed-on)
C) Lambert -> Berb/Crouch/LukakuOpen Controls
2 players I'd most like in my team are Rafael and Suarez - can anyone see a good GW and way of bringing them in over the next few weeks?
Jaask, Federici
Baines, Cuellar, Hughes, McCartney, Clyne
Bale, Santi, Fellaini, Michu, Taarabt
RVP, Ba, Berbatov
Bank 1.0m, 0 freebies left this weekOpen Controls
Gallas & jelavic > Rafael & Mirallas?
Open Controls
So I could have got fellaini in for pienaar and i could get rid of demel...
but instead I have done nothing. I often take this "head in sand" approach in life, sometimes it owrks out, sometimes it doesnt 🙂Open ControlsNo benteke love ??
Open ControlsWhich one or two transfers will best benefit my team?
Foster – Begovic
