While Sunday brought a rather tepid conclusion to the weekend’s action, the lack of incident allowed us more time to digest the numbers behind the Gameweek so far. In this latest foray into the depths of our members data, we offer further insight on the performances of Adel Taarabt, Raheem Sterling and David Silva not only for this weekend, but the last four Gameweeks and season so far. As for Glen Johnson, well, we’ll let the numbers do the talking…

when will yaya going to african nations cup?not enough cash to get silva

thanks..looks like a good replacement for fellaini if he confirmed to be suspended for a few games

i would wait for news update on fletcher's injury..next gw play against southampton, although not an easy fixture, but he has the chance to score
Open Controls -
Sold Ba last week and kinda regret it. Took a punt on Defoe which may still come good. Would love Ba this weekend though!
Open Controls-
i did ba -> fletcher just before the dgw, and feels regret doing that move 🙁
Open Controls

Both offer more potential points than Fletcher and both will always play. Ba seems to be more consistant.

I don't have enough cash to bring in Mata or Silva for Fellaini but really want one of the 2 in for this week. I just brought Rooney in for GW17 for a frontline of RvP/Rooney/Berbatov, so I am not inclined to bring in either Tevez/Aguero. Thoughts on Silva or Mata for Cazorla ? Leaning to Silva >> Cazorla. I get ARS have a good holiday schedule but I just am not convinced by ARS's attack.

Good evening DZ- which for the next month: Torres or Suarez? ( have Mata and Sterling).. Thanks!
Open Controls-
none
Open Controls
-
-
Is Torres a good option over Tevez until the Jan WC kicks in? I have no other Che or City cover at the moment.
Berba > Tevez/ Torres
Felon > 9.5 or less mid. (Already have Sterling and Punchy).Open Controls-
I wouldn't touch Torres. Especially after he's been jetting half way around the world, and especially since he looked more like his old self in that game.
Open Controls -
I'd say so. Simply in virtue of him being nailed on and not at risk of rotation. Regaining some confidence, (though yesterday's display didn't inspire).
Is that an either or choice? Cause I'f prefer Mata and Berba to Torres and any other 7mil mid.Open Controls -
Tevez. No one knows what's in Mancini's head but it is completely obvious his best combination is Tevez/Aguero. I disagree with your point above on Silva. A strong FF history and he bossed the game y'day. The FF points are coming. So, Tevez or Silva for me.
Open Controls -
Torres is overpiced for what he offers. Tevez comes with too much rotation
Open Controls-
Hmmm... Thanks Phaze 1. So just hold Berba over Xmas and hope for something other than 2 points?
Open Controls-
Benteke might not be a bad punt with 2 home games in the next 3.
Open Controls -
I'd prob roll the dice with Suarez over Tevez and Torres. Is nailed on and has good fixtures. Bound to score a few with the amount of shots he takes on goal.
Open Controls-
Good point. Means I would need one of Mata or Silva/Yaya over Xmas too.
Not sure I could afford it as I'd have to rape my team.Open Controls-
Team rape is never fun. I'd had Tevez over Torres but not crazy about either right now. I've gone for Silva, Santi and will have Mata in a week along with RVP, Suarez and Ba. Downside is my Defence is pretty light

Anyone watching the NFL? How are the 49ers only winning this by 7!?
Open Controls -
is taarabt's price due to rise very,very soon? getting him in & wonder if i have to do it asap.
who to drop out of afro, walcott or sterling (have enrique & suarez already)?Open Controls-
Yep, he will probably rise tonight... although i'd make sure you get the decision right rather than worrying about a poxy £0.1m
Open Controls
-
-
To Taarabt or not to Taarabt? I'm still not completely convinced, it was only one performance and he's on the suspension tightrope. But for 5.4 he's surely worth it, right?
Open Controls-
Plus, his fixtures aren't great.

so Fellaini is pretty nailed on for a 3 match ban. lol

Enrique -> Clyne so I can do Fellaini -> Bale/Mata next week? Only problem is I'll have to Ride the following defence till the jan w/c
Clyne, Nelson, Hughes, Ridgewell, DaviesOpen Controls-
Is the Jan wildcard the one where you have to use it in January or something?
Open Controls

Just looked at the price change.. As expected benteke went up but why the hell didn't bale go down? Second day in a row he was supposed to go down and didn't..
Damn it!Open Controls-
Mate, see my reply to the Portuguese&Proud post below
Open Controls

So Bale price is still the same... again
Open Controls -
should i change my mid and forwards to
punch snodgrass mata michu sterling
rvp roon suarez
until my jan w/c? good?or should i ignore roon and get someone cheaper and upgrade punch?Open Controls -
Begovic Jaaskelainen
Cameron Shorey J.Enrique Sagna B.Davies
Bale Fellaini Snodgrass Taarabt Michu
Tevez RVP Suarez
what do you think is more urgent for next week?
A) Cameron-->Clichy/Zabaleta
B) Fellaini-->MataOpen Controls-
-
Shorey (mci)
Cameron (tot)
B,Davies (MUN)
even if you had to play one of these 3, and i can easily bench Fellaini and still play a decent midfield as long as Bale playsOpen Controls
-
-
B, hands down.
Open Controls -
B. mata is a season keeper for me, unless people brave enough to gamble on torres.
Open Controls

Taraabt or Ya Ya for the next 3 weeks?
Open Controls-
torn between those two players too..and puncheon perhaps.
Open Controls

Does Fiso have something against letting Bale drop in price???
I dont get itOpen Controls-

fellaini > taarabt, yaya, punch?
or
fellaini & enrique > silva & 5.5 def? (4pt hit)
current front 8 is:-
mata fellaini michu walcott sterling

Is Michu fine????

No. Try clearing cache?

Hi guys, how was Ba's goal against ManC last night?
Was it the flukey kind, or the kind that makes you want to captain him against QPR next week?Open Controls-
missed it, but i think every team should have better options for captaincy this week, namely suarez, kun, torres, mata, santi, rooney and of course RvP.
Open Controls -
was a decent goal and he had a few chances to score more
Open Controls-
it was a very good header
Open Controls
-
-
Thanks for the reply guys..
I guess its between Ba RVP or Suarez for me to captain.
But Ba at home vs QPR is sooo tempting... And the fact that it wasnt a jammy hoal against ManC makes me even more convinced to captain himOpen Controls-
ba could be a decent captain choice
Open Controls

Bego/Bunn
Baines/Enrique/Clark/Nelsen/Gorkss
Michu/Mata/Fellaini/Sterling/Sessegnon
Fletcher/RVP/Suarez
2FT, 2m in the bank.
Do I go:
A - Fellaini+Fletcher > Puncheon+Aguero(C)
B - Fellaini > Silva(C), carry a FT over to GW19.
C - Fellaini+Fletcher > Puncheon+Tevez(C), allows me to go Sess > Bale possibly in GW19.
Thoughts?Open Controls-
I like C because you can get bale next week. I'd prefer Aguero over Tevez in a vacuum but thats not possible.

Okay guys, now that the Fellaini match ban is almost imminent, i think we have an arguable decision here...
I know the consensus agree that Mata i the obvious replacement but Hazard is now on the same price (9.5) anf should also be considered. In terms of "fpl form" both have scored equally in PPG (4) in the last 5 game weeks and it seems like Hazard been getting more minutes (Mata more prone to rotation?)
Lets discuss why we are so quickly to dismiss Fellaini>Hazard.Open Controls-
Mata is involved in way more goals. End of story.
Open Controls-
I dont think it is as simple as that...
How do you explain that both Hazard and Mata have scored excatly 20 FPL points in the last 5 gameweeks? And mata didnt start in one of those games, whilst Hazard have started all.
Im not giving a conclusion, just wanted everyones opinion on why Hazard is so much a terrible choicr than MataOpen Controls-
He's off pens, doesnt attack as directly as Mata does. Mata on most set pieces, makes Chelsea tick.
Most of Hazard's points came early on in the season, now Mata is delivering consistent pts. Its quite obvious.Open Controls
-
-
-
hazard plays on the left side of the midfield while mata just behind torres, which means mata has more scoring chances than hazard
Open Controls -
Thanks for the response guys...
Guess mata is still miles ahead of hazard then..Open Controls -
Fellaini Walters -> Mata Taarabt for -4 hit.
Perfect.Open Controls

Plus points for Fellaini to Yaya:
1. Nailed on for every match between now and GW22
2. Cheap & safest route into City
3. Hitting some form, as are City
4. City fixtures are decent
Negative points?Open Controls-
Form? HA!
Open Controls-
Better than it has been and two goals in two shows he's getting forward again?
Open Controls-
No. His goal was lucky, dont expect more than 2's and 3's and maybe a couple of random bonus.
Open Controls-
I'll take lucky goals and 3 x bps (which is what he started to pick up this time last year.......Mancini will know he needs to start pushing him forward, especially as Garcia and Barry can play the def m/f role now....
Open Controls-
You're just making excuses because you cant afford Silva.
Surely if City win by 3+ goals Yaya wont get bps, he only gets them in close matches.Open Controls-
I can have Silva, I can have anyone......just don't like taking hits 😉

agreed to all your points, though one of the reason i want to get him is because not enough funds to get silva
Open Controls -
1. GW 21 / Jan 5th he's leaving.
2. He's a DM.Open Controls -
Yaya doesn't really have goal scoring form. He just pops up and scores randomly and is almost impossible to predict. The way you get value from him to to just hold him for long periods of time and hope he pops in 1 or 2. Buying him as a punt is a waste of money.
Open Controls

-
Until I saw him last night, I didn't realise just how much Demel lacks any attacking threat. He doesn't go up for corners, his crossing when he does venture forward(rarely) down the flank is woeful.
Needs to go.....Open Controls-
As bench fodder goes though, he's not bad at all, gets a fair amount of CS for a 4 million defender.
Open Controls-
Yeah true but jeez he is hellish to watch.......never expect a single point more.....
Open Controls

Here you are 8 hours later still posting about Demel..lol

Fantasy God is being kind to us. Afro didn't get the red card he deserved on the field, his price still rose and direct replacements (yaya, taarabt, or silva if you have the money) are made available.
Open Controls-
Not really, at 7.7. million it's hard to find anyone in that bracket anywhere near his quality, and to bring in the big boys as replacements, many will have to take hits. Hardly kind from the Fantasy Gods!
Open Controls -
This.
Ive been stratchin my head to figure how to get in a CHE cover for the AVL match now i can justify Fellaini>Mata for a hit. 🙂Open Controls-
downgrade walters, imo.
as an arsenal fan, it's strange to see people banking on him in FPL rite now. you might consider replacing him too.
a chelsea fan without mata or torres. come on lah!Open Controls-
Hello! I only left them out because of the blank.
Im definitely getting mata or hazard back in and tripling during the DGW
Im doing Fellaini Walters > Mata Taraabt
Looks good ey?Open Controls-
definitely mouth-watering transfers you got there. but i went afro > yaya since i think having a City player is more essential atm.
Open Controls

I agree. I kinda see this as a blessing in disguise. Reckon Everton might hit a bit of a speed bumb now and a chaance to try some other options until Jan WC...
Open Controls-
yep, i know the last time they had their best start to the season like this year, they went on to reach UCL spot.. but i think other teams have improved vastly too, so history might not be repeated that easily.

Need Cazorla to rack up 10 pts tonight..........
Open Controls-
This is sad... Im contented with a sceczny CS...
Open Controls-
On 30 pts with sceczny and gervinho to go... Im happy if i finish with 40 this week :'(
I still think gervinho will score as many points as Cazorla though this week! (3pts)Open Controls
-
I have Giroud.
If those 10 points contain 2 assists for Olivier then I hope Cazorla gets 10 points tooOpen Controls
-
-
I've been going about this all wrong. I think I'm gonna start encouraging anyone ranked higher than me who asks about Yaya to buy him.
Open Controls-
-
already bought yaya. although i'm ranked below you, so it might be of little interest.
Open Controls

-
Probably been asked many times already, but will Fellaini fall tonight? If not, when?
Open Controls -
With rotation in Man U defense now, and Tottenhams upcoming fixtures, what do u think about Rafael to Vertonghen??
Open Controls -
Now City are out the CL, is Zabaleta more nailed on? He's certainly above Maicon correct?
And can play RB & LB?
Reckon he's as good away into the City defence as anyone....Open Controls
