Chelsea’s rout of the Villa back four generated some impressive statistics for Rafa Benitez’s men, whilst over the way in West London, Martin Jol’s Fulham are stacking up numbers on the other end of the spectrum. We take a closer look at the team statistics involved, along with a focus on the form of David Silva, Steven Pienaar and Demba Ba as we plunder the members area for the key statistics from Gameweek 18.
My team is:
Foster,
GJ, Cameron, Clyne,
Mata, Michu, Sess, Puncheon,
RVP, Tevez, Berba.
Fed, Cuellar, Santi, Demel. (1 FT, 0.2m)
Got no idea about transfers. Thoughts? Cazorla > Bale is the only thing I can think of. Any help will be much appreciated. 🙂Open Controls
I cant believe Man City barely won against Reading....? Basically cheated to win too. Barry pulled a dirty dancing move at the end there
Im still mad very mad for doubling upOpen Controls
Dirty dance move? 😆
Open ControlsOk not quite dirty dancing because Patrick Swayze lifts Baby into a flying cheese curl position.
Barry used the Reading defenders back as leverage.Open ControlsIts the BPL. Get Used to it.
Open Controlshahaha
Yup it is exciting 🙂
Ok Grinch mode deactivatingOpen Controls
Meh, I think Shorey should have jumped for the ball or made some attempt to stand his ground. He just ducked out of the way as soon as he saw the ball come over.
I think the ref gave the correct decision. Shorey showed no interest in competing for that cross whereas Barry went for it all guns blazing.
If Shorey had have looked like he wanted a part of it I'd be inclined to sympathise with Reading and say that the ref should have given a free kick. But he didn't so it was a perfectly good goal as far as I'm concerned.
Shorey showed about as much interest as Bosingwa does when he plays for us, but a least he's not on £65k a week.......Open Controls
I'm happy with Silva(c) 😀
Open Controls🙂 I should have gone that route. Saving my transfer this week to fix it
Open Controls
Tevez is a real pain in the arse.
Open Controls
He is. He was great but he did not give me peace of mind. I sold him just before his 19 pter but i do not mind it.
Open ControlsNot sure what to do with him.
Open ControlsWhats your front 8?
Open ControlsMata Bale Michu Nolan* Puncheon
RVP Tevez Suarez
Nolan > Walcott next week.Open ControlsNolan plays RDG but i understand the move. Once you get Walcott, we have a similar looking team. Mata Bale Michu Walcott RVP Suarez here as well.
Open ControlsReading away, where he has scored once. He is ridiculously off form and West Ham are poor without Carroll & Diame. I might get him back for the DGW.
Open ControlsAgreed. Walcott has a greater upside as well. I got rid of Silva as well. MCI teamsheets really not worth the headache. Not like they are in top form anyway.
Open ControlsAye I had Walcott a while ago but got rid when he was injured as I had 10 men.
Tevez has 104 points still, there arent many obvious replacements which is the main annoyance.Open Controls
I'd hold on to Walcott till Afro returns (assuming he's staying at Everton).
Open ControlsIll get Fellaini when I WC. Walcott has played half the time Nolan has and his goals/assists are better.
Open Controls
at the moment yes...
Open Controls
Ok, so my team as it stands is;
Bego / Tremmel
Rafael Jones Nelsen Baker Shorey
Santi Silva Michu Sterling Puncheon
RVP Rooney Suarez
I'm thinking;
a) sort out Rafael if he's out
b) Santi –> Bale
c) save
d) other
Thoughts? 🙂Open Controls1 FT, £0.3m ITB
Open ControlsKeeping hold of Rooney?
Open Controls
A is your priority but if he can play then C.
Open ControlsB
Open Controls
B or C
Open Controls
Can you afford to do Rafael > Vertonghen Billy? Spurs have easy Xmas fixtures and he's nailed on
Open ControlsNope. 0.1 off of that 🙁
Could get Walker though...
That's some food for thought, thanks.Open Controls
Thanks guys. Pretty much mirrors my thoughts.
Open Controls
Who is the best three option for DGW in GW23 between Arsenal and West Ham?
# West Ham vs QPR
# Chelsea vs Arsenal
# Arsenal vs West HamOpen ControlsTheo
New Arsenal Striker
Mertsacker/GibbsOpen Controls
everybody who is doing santi > bale what did you buy santi at? 9.0 here and I'm really debating pulling the trigger, especially since bale has 2 more games to play to get a yellow and a 1 match ban...
Open Controls
same boat as you and avoiding the move. dont want to lose the money and i can hold off for one week. besides spurs fixtures arent all that good
Open Controlslooks like I have Michu for the whole season
He is 8.1 I can sell him for 7.3 hahahahaOpen Controls
2 of Bale's yellows have been for hurdling to avoid challenges. He should be able to stop himself doing that for 2 more games
Open Controls
1 FT with only .4 in the bank. Not sure if I should trade. Thoughts?
Foster/Jussi
Rafael, Merte, Morrison, Enrique, Cameron
Routledge, Santi, Snod, Michu, Punch
BA, RVP, SuarezOpen ControlsHave to Got Merte, Santi and Jussi out. Was hoping to make 1 transfer but I have no idea what to do!!!
Open Controls
Neither?
Open ControlsI like Fellaini, but I have been saying for a while Aguero isnt worth 11m this season, not at the moment.
Rooney is decent but I dont like Nolan. Fellaini + someone cheaper?Open ControlsA bit better.
Open ControlsLike this
Open Controls
can you afford rooney and Fellani
Open ControlsNone of the 4.
Open Controls
Any one doubling on Stroke defence. Fixtures look tough
Got Cameron. Should i do Ridgwell to Huth.
or Ming to BegovicOpen ControlsThose worried about the tightrope, Michu has scored 7 goals since he last got a yellow. Whoever you get in, might get a one week rest anyway. And Jan is very close. Roll the dice!
Open Controls20 May
Open Controls
Does any one have Stevie G?
Only owned by 4%
I remember in the past he was a must have for everyones teamOpen Controls
He was 🙂
Along with the other fantastic four, Lampard, Ronaldo and Fabregas 😀Open Controls
no room for him..except Liv have DGW...
Open Controls
I have Zabaleta, Mertesacker, Aguero and RVP.
With Mertesacker having Boxing Day off what are my chances of none of the others being rotated?Open ControlsSnodgrass or Puncheon to start guys? and why~
Open ControlsJOA, talking about way off form, would you consider bringing IN berba 😯
next 4: SOU SWA wba WIG
Considering Fletcher > Berba atmOpen Controls
It is taking every ounce of my FPL patience not to take Berba out right now!
Open ControlsSpidey senses tingling
yeah maybe berba has a hattrick for a xmas presentOpen Controls
Im considering getting him in but 7 games without ANY attacking stats is ridiculous. He had 0 shots, 1 chance created vs QPR and im not sure what his stats were vs Fulham but he didnt look at getting any points so its not as if an explosion is "imminent"...
Wait on Ruiz news at least.Open ControlsYeah, if Ruiz is back, surely worth the risk over the next 4?
Open ControlsI dont know, Fulham as a whole have been poor and Berbatov looks disinterested. Could be decent though.
Open ControlsMore so than usual that is..
Worth point out that he only has 3 goals from open play too.Open ControlsShould I ust save FT then next week do Gallas+Sess > Davies+Walcott?
Open ControlsThat means triple black cats this week as well. (vs. City at home)
Open ControlsThat sounds good. But Berbatov could always come good... tough one.
Open ControlsCould get berb and get theo for a hit next week if need be. Something will prob come up anyways 😆
Open Controls
Berba can be a bit of a flat track bully at times also... A defence like southampton's should bring the best out of him.
Surely he cant go EIGHT games without a goal or assist!Open Controls
Nope...no amount of people saying how good he is on the ball would make me bring in the laziest player in the league...He let's himself down...his club down ...his supporters...his mother..his FPL owners...his teachers...his children...everybody...!!...he's a bloody menace...!!
Open Controls
GW 21 - that could be carnage.
Swansea (Michu) vs Villa
Spurs (Bale) vs Reading
Wigan vs Utd (RVP)
Southampton vs Arsenal (Cazorla)
Chelsea (Mata) vs QPROpen ControlsCould be chaos......trying to prep my team now for what might happen
Bale, RVP, Michu all suspended..... 😯Open Controls
rvp all day
Open Controlswow ! mata for me.. (to catch my ML leader.)
Open ControlsLearnt any lessons from this week's 'Man City v Reading is going to be carnage' debacle?
Football doesn't always work out the way you think it should on paper. Its likely on of those teams on the end of the percieved spanking will pull a surprise and several of the others might end up squeaking narrow wins.Open Controls
Who's currently favorite for Santi out?
1. Mata
2. Bale
Think I'm swinging from bale to Mata now......Open ControlsRephrase the question.
Open ControlsNice GW score Jaf
I would have Mata. Villa would be looking to perform well just like Reading against City.
My team is
Ming
Cameron,Enrique, Shorey
Mata, Sess, Snodgrass, Piennar
Fletcher, Rooney, Suarez
subs: Jask, Ridg, Walcott, Demel.
Hows this team looking and any transfers you want me to do ?Open Controls
I'm a bit concern of rotation for Mata.
Open Controls
will wilkinson keep playing for Stoke in the coming gameweeks? I'm thinking of cashing in on Shawcross and shifting the money to my midfield.
Open ControlsDont sell Shawrcoss yet.
2 home games coming up and nailed on.Open Controls
defoe > berbs, yay or nay? im thinking nay and save transfer as its somewhat of a sideways move, agree?
Open Controls
Nomar, any thoughts on Ramirez to Taarabt for a 2 week punt?
Open ControlsPredict Those scores!
Reading-Swansea
Fulham-Southampton
Everton-Wigan
Manchester utd-Newcastle
Qpr-WBAOpen Controlsfor next few weeks
a) torres + sterling/taarabt
b) ba + youngOpen Controls
Any FPL Cup hard luck stories guys? I exited at the first hurdle to a ghost team on goals scored in the gameweek.
Had Villa been able to keep the score down to a respectable 7 - 0 at Chelsea, I would have made it through.
Had Ridgewell or Gallas spent 1 minute on the pitch between them, I would have made it through.
Had RVP not got a yellow for reacting to an attempted murder, I would have made it through.
Let's hear yours. Or did you all make it through?Open ControlsRelax there Sir Alex.. attempted murder 😆
Open ControlsThat was very much tongue in cheek Acqua. If I knew how to put a wee smiley face in next to it I would have.
Open Controls
Knocked out by Ramires, was in the bag up til his 2 goals and baps, not one decking transfer all season this chump an he pops up and blows up in my face!
Open ControlsA sore one Mr Smith. My opponent hadn't altered his team since the start either and couldn't even field eleven, but had Cech, Ivanovic, Torres and Michu (C).
Just another reason to hate Chelsea I suppose.Open Controls
I think Giggsy will get a start vs. Newcastle. He looked in really good touch.
Open ControlsYep.. Scholes on the other hand.... STILL CANT MAKE A BLOODY TACKLE! 😆
Open ControlsJust talking from a non-fpl perspective.
Open Controls
Slight over-reaction from the Fergmeister here methinks...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2252516/Robin-van-Persie-killed-says-Sir-Alex-Ferguson-Ashley-Williams-kick.htmlOpen ControlsYep, RVP might be out of this game with a death injury.
Open Controls
Morning peeps... 🙂
Anyone seen any news on Sean Morrison...? Says due back Boxing Day on FPL...Open ControlsNever mind, just found a tweet saying he is hoping to be back in training today...
Open Controls
Quick vote:
Wisdom out for -
a) Dawson
b) Davies
c) B.Jones
d) OtherOpen Controls
i tooked -4 hit: Rafael and Sterling out for Davies and Mata
now feeling good for the right choice 🙂Open ControlsDont get too happy. I thought i did the perfect move when i did tevez>jelavic.
Tevez got 1pt and Jelavic got 7.
The next week Tevez got 18 and Jelavic 2. true story.Open Controls
which will get more points this week:
A) young, berbatov (c), ba
B) sterling, torres (c), berbaOpen Controls
Begovic
Clyne / Jose Enrique / Cuellar
Sessegnon / Silva / Mata / Michu (vc)
Suarez / Van Persie (c) / Defoe
Federici / Sterling / Shorey / Demel
1FT, 0.6 in the bank. None of the Boxing Day fixtures jump out at me, I'm thinking save a trannie? Could be handy the nexy GW.Open ControlsNo Arsenal affords you a good squad. Only thing i'd think of doing is Maybe Sess -> Pienaar or Silva -> Bale
Open Controls
11 years, 4 months agoNot sure what to do:
Begovic (mannone)
Enrique davies rafael (cueller demel)
Michu silva tarabt sterling (cazorla)
Rvp suarez berb
Have 1FT and 0.9m
A: save FT
B: caz >> bale
C: sterling >> any mid upto 6.5
D: rafael. >> Any cheapish defender so I can upgrade either sterlin or berb next week.
I am leaning towards C as cazorla not playing and don't want to have 3 pool players as they play stoke
