With one fixture remaining in the Gameweek, it’s time for us to plunder the members area and pick out some of the key numbers from the key performers so far. Members can read on for the latest insight on Reading’s attacking potential from the back, Sunderland’s new positivity and the latest Rooney versus Van Persie comparisons…
Gardner for 3 games (CHE rea mun) or Puncheon for one? (REA)
Basically bench fodder!Open Controls
Don't like any of those two.... Robson-Kanu 4.3 maybe?
Open Controls
OK, guys - some stats from Sunderland and Reading.
Swansea and Fulham to follow - check your tickers.

thanks! Cuellar have more goal attempts than Larsson LOL
Open Controls... and Fletcher's out.
Open Controls
Ok here's my team at the moment;
Jaaskelainen
Cuellar Enrique Davies
Walcott Michu Fellaini Sterling Bale*
RVP Tevez
Begovic - Gunter* Jones* Suarez*
*doubt or out.
So..Gunter > Shorey and play 4 at the back? I'll potentially have 10 men so this gives me 2 extra really.Open ControlsYes, please. Imo.
Open Controls
Sounds good to me.
Open ControlsCheers. Hopefully nothing happens in the CL.
Open Controls
Sell Bale
Open ControlsFor who? He'll be back by Swansea (H) if not then the week after.
Open ControlsEveryone is saying this. No one knows for sure. I can see all the Bale owners shitting bricks prior to Swans(h). And even if he is back it's no guarantee he will be back to his previous form after two weeks off. Plus it's not as if Swans are push overs at the moment. Only conceded 1 goal in last 3.
Just saying.Open ControlsIt's not as if there is going to be any news from AVB. So far he has said "he 'could' be out for 1 or 2 weeks" and that's it. And again, for who? Let's say Bale does miss Swansea (H) then I'll play Shorey (sou/sun) Sterling (AVL) then Bale (STK avl sun RDG qpr)..not bad!
Open ControlsNot as if there is NOT going to be any news**
Open ControlsIs AVB not usually the type of guy that "spills the beans" on a Friday presser?
gw 16:Bale->Sess(c)
gw 17: Fletcher->DefoeOpen ControlsRegarding Sess: Any chance of him having a more attacking role if Fletcher misses some gametime over the next 2?
The way United are defending I'm even considering playing Sess vs United(a) and the week after Sun are playing South anyway.Open ControlsThen you'll have Sessegnon for after the DGW, no thanks!
Open ControlsAnd?
Bego
Demel/Nelsen/garrido
Michu/Felli/Nolan/Santi
Rvp/Suarez/Defoe
Fost/Sess/Cuellar/GorkksOpen Controlsand? it's a waste of a midfield spot for after the DGW. Are you telling me you'd rather him than Bale? He's scored in 2 games all year, and one was a deflection the other a wonder goal. I'm talking about after the DGW as I said, and I'd much rather a cheapie to upgrade elsewhere (Sterling dependent on purchase price, Puncheon at 4.6) 7m+ on your bench is clearly hurting that defence. Do you have 4/5M in the bank? 😀
Open ControlsI'm saying I can't trust captaining Fletcher as was the original plan. Therefor I might go Sess(c) for the DGW. Obv Bale is a better player then Sess, everyday of the week, But if Bale is confirmed out then his ZERO in gw 16 is going to mean sweet blow feck-all. Plus it gives me a Captain choice, since I'm chasing 74 points deficit.
I might just take the risk with an inform Defoe for SWANS/STOKE. I really don't care who scores my points, even if it's not a midf.
😉Open Controls
How to improve this sorry looking team?
Ruddy / Federici
Gorkss / Jose Enrique / Cuellar / Clyne / Demel
Santi Cazorla / Guthrie / Fellaini / Bale / Johnson
Berbatov / Van Persie / Tevez
1 FT, £2.3m in the bank.
Already did Hazard---> Fellaini.
Thoughts appreciated.Open ControlsAdam or Bradley?
Open ControlsAJ

This is getting silly now, rangel => shorey worth a 4pointer?
Surely not, but it's tempting me.Open ControlsNo chance.

rangel plays at home !
anyone else out for shorey ?Open Controls
Got lost on last page. Thanks to some good advice I’ve revised my decision to ditch Mata. Only problem is, now what?

Which one player from these would you bring in:
Robson Kanu, McAnuff, Gardner or AJ?????Open ControlsCuellar getting negative NTI. I know he only scored 1 point but c'mon.
Open Controls
Surely you should be happy as it means less people own him when he's clearly one of the best value players on the game?
Open ControlsNot sure about that 😕
He's out after the DGW for me.Open Controls
375 NTI today.
Open ControlsYou're right, hmmm. What was I reading? 😆
Open Controls
Positive NTI on Fiso.
Open Controls
If Sessegnon flops, anyone else looking at trading in Fellaini? Considering 39% already have him, I feel I'm missing out...
Open Controls
Bringing him in regardless.
Opted for Pienaar instead at the start of the season and have been stubborn since. But he's just too good at the moment.Open ControlsExact same problem with me too, basing on his performances last year it's too good to believe he's this scoring machine...
Open Controls
hopefully sess => bale next week if bale is fit, need one rise and one fall...
Open ControlsThinking of dumping Bale in GW18 for Mata in my case.
As much as I'd like him, working on some team plans however Mata will rise by then.. 🙁Open Controls
already have afro. i'll either ship sess for michu or whichever of walcott/bale I don't have depending on funds (which will depend on if i ship ba for suarez)

Open Controls
I'm just gonna wait line up's and use my wc after that...hopefully Ronaldo starts.
Open ControlsBit of a waste of a wildcard I reckon. Most player will play cos not all group 1st places, Europa League 3rd placers are decided. Getting into last 8 or 4 is WC time for me. 6 free transfers are good but gives me scope to pick a whole new 15, some unexpected teams eliminated and from a smaller pool of players. But everyone has their own WC time ideas.
Open Controlsyeah it depends on line ups, if cazorla, ronaldo, giroud etc starts, there's no need to use wc yet.
Open Controls
Looking for advice for my captain next week right now my order of preference is -
Lambert (RDG)
Michu (NOR)
SIlva (MUN)
Cazorla (WBA)
VP (mci)
Cuellar (RDG, CHE)
I imagine Michu will be a captain favourite but Norwich have only conceded 3 in their last 6 games. Lambert was shot happy v Liverpool and Reading are awful at the back.Open Controls
Hey folks, been in Thailand and Cairns for the last 3 weeks so the team needs some major damage control!
Team is linked, any suggestions for any must-need players?
Cheers.Open ControlsYouve been in Thailand and Cairns and youve still hit 2 green arrows. Cant go too wrong there., As for the team i would personally go Hazard - Silva.
Open Controls
Any suggestions of what to do, have 2FT's and £0.2M in the bank
Tremmel McCarthy
Cameron Rafael Cuellar Hughes Demel
Bale Silva Michu Cazorla Puncheon
RVP Berbatov Ba
Considering shipping out Rafael, also considering Silva out for Fellaini but was wondering if there was any other ideasOpen ControlsNice Team.
I'd ship our Raffa (planning to do the same)
Oh, play Punch!Open Controls
Is it worth bringing in cuellar if you have migs??
Or
Swapping gorks for shorley?
No hits reqOpen Controls
OK this plan is a little weird, so I am not expecting a lot of praise here.
Anyway, of you take a look at the fixtures GW17 through GW21 (GW22 will have a new team with wildcard), there are 5 teams that stand out. These teams are TOT, LIV, MUN, MCI, and ARS (plus sort of FUL), so I want my whole team consisting of players from these teams. A quick look at the season ticker confirms that if you can field 11 players from these teams you pretty much don't need a bench (unless injury/rotation).
So my team I can get for a total 8 point hit spread across two weeks:
Hart
Gibbs, Caulker, Evans, Enrique
Cazorla, Bale, Silva, Sterling
RVP, Berba
Bench: Jussi, Cameron, Ramirez, Dong-Won Ji (4.2 mil striker).
Looks good? Would of course be better to get in Suarez and ditch Sterling, but that would require some more hits. Probably not worth it.Open ControlsDateline is so long away and i know its early, but i need news about Bale and Fletcher before i make any hits!!
Open Controls
i know shorey's been creating a crazy amount of chances but the fact that reading only have kept 1 cleanie makes u want to stay away, doesn't it?
Open Controlstrue what your saying but for 4.1m you cant really go wrong
Open ControlsYep, especially if you have Gorkss, don't be too quick to fall for the 'let's all transfer in a Reading defender who got a few assists to compensate for 0 points' bandwagon.
Open ControlsWhat's Gorkss got to do with it? Surely that's a reason to get Shorey, a cheap and potentially rewarding replacement?
Open ControlsGorkss was cheaper and you never really had to play him. I'm not sure I want another Reading defender who I have to pay .2m for and will be more tempted to play. You not see the pitfall side of it?
Open ControlsGorkss might have been cheaper, but 0.2 is nothing. I find myself struggling to dish out my team value with the way the big hitters are performing in comparison to the mid-priced players. Gorkss also doesn't play, so you may as well ditch him for the best option in his price range, which for GW16-22 is probably Shorey.
Open ControlsBut on the basis that he's had a good run of assists? Would I not be better off buying Davies who plays for a team who can keep CS long term?
I'd almost be more tempted by Morrison.Open ControlsAs I said, for GW16-22 it's probably Shorey. Look at Davies fixtures vs Shorey's in that time frame.
He's had a run of good assists yeah, but it's no fluke, he's creating more chances than anyone, even Baines at the moment. His last full season at reading he had 10 assists in 36 games or something.Open ControlsBut I won't want to play my sh*tty little Reading defender. I only could bear to play Gorkss at home to Norwich. Can't see myself being tempted to play Shorey all that much. I'll give it some thought. But I'm not sure it's worth a 4 point hit for the DGW.
Open ControlsHow is it a bad thing that you won't want to play him that much? He's 4.1M for god sake, and you WILL need your 5th defender over festive period, may aswell make it someone who actually plays.
Open Controls
Everyone falling for the old, "let's get as many DGW players as possible pie in the sky".
Face it, attacking players is where the points are.
It's not often that a defender(BAE last season) scores a goal, keeps a CS, gets boners and get you 20+ points over a DGW.
Remember those days Granville?Open Controls
BAE, Walker, Ivanovic
Open ControlsAttacking players is where the points are, that's true, but not from Reading and Sunderland! I'm not going to poison my front 8 with players from those 2 teams, and Shorey has been Reading's most creative player all season. The point of getting Shorey isn't to "get as many DGW players as possible" it's to get a DGW'er who is a good cheap cheap option that you don't have to play him too much afterwards. He'll be peoples 4th-5th defender, rotating with someone like Ben Davies.
Open Controls
These cheapo defenders from the likes of reading etc you only want them for the occasional attack points. For abit more (4.5 - 4.7) you have you cuellars camerons and bassongs for a decent CS shout.
Take your pick.Open ControlsAs for me, atm im happy playing enrique and baines every week, and rotate cameron (4.5) nelsen (4.0) and Shorey (4.1) for the 3rd spot. Playing any of those 1/3 of the time.
Open ControlsYeah but look at all 3 of their fixtures from now until WC. Yeah they've kept good teams out before (bar Sunderland) but they aren't going to do that every week. Not saying Reading will keep more clean sheets, but I don't expect too many from Cuellar, who I'll be ditching GW17, and Begovic from now until GW22 ish.
Open Controls
This is my upcoming GW team

4.4m in the bank but I`m dead against point hits
Is this the best XI & should I keep (c) on michu
not looking too optimistic for a decent point haul but going on previous gw`s i`ve felt the same before the gw & somehow they turned out a dececnt total
any decent advice would be helpful 🙂Open ControlsDemel will outscore Shorey this gw.
Buggumark it.Open Controls
Sorry if you have read this before, posted twice yesterday but got no constructive responses so thought I would try again today when it is quieter!
I play Telegraph game – no subs just starting 11, 30 transfers for the season and I have used 15, no captains, no bonus points, player values never change. My team is:
Begovic
Enrique Mertesacker Ivanovic
Bale Michu Fellaini Cazorla
RVP Suarez Ba
Annoying I only got Bale last week in place of Hazard! If he is out for only a week I would probably keep and do this GW with men but if he is out for 2-3 i would be much morewary.
Thoughts, specifically re Bale? If consensus is to switch, for who? Can afford anyone…Silva? Cheers guys.Open Controls- Open Controls
