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.
A with Berbatov
Open Controls
Just a note, that any of these mean me selling Rafa for Davies and either taking a hit this week to bring in Michu for Sterling, or Torres for Berba.
Open Controls
Which def should i play this week?
Clyne (ful)
Shorey (SWA)
Davies (rea)Open ControlsShorey
Davies
Clyne
in that order.Open Controls
Suggestions please re what to do:
0 in bank and 0 FTs:
Begovic (guzan)
GJ, hangeland, Davies, caulker (cuellar)
Silva, Sess, Sterling (Gardner, Theo)
Aguero, Rvp, Torres
A) sess > Lennon
B) Aguero > Suarez
C) GJ + Aguero > luiz + Suarez
D) cuellar + Aguero > luiz + Defoe/adebayor/jelly
E) cuellar + Aguero + sess > luiz + bale + striker up to 7.0Open Controls
F) Sess to Pienaar?
Would also free up money to upgrade a defender.Open Controls
Any suggestions what I should do with my team?
I'm reluctant to do Caz > Bale, but it may be the best option
Also, Azpil is looking good value, anyone agree?Open Controls
Terry come back Ivanovic will be Right back and Azpil will be on the bench
Open Controls
What do you think about Luiz guys. Is he going to score a lot from now on? Take the free Kick. Moving to Defensive midfield. Chelsea doesn't seem really bad in defence as well so clean sheet wont be a problem in Benitez.
Open Controls
I feel a little worry after I did Ba+Sess to Torres + Pienaar .
My team are:
Bego, (Jasske)
Jones, Nelsen, Clark, (Mertesac, Cuellar)
Silva, Pienaar, Sterling, Michu, (Carzolar)
Suarez, Torres, RVP
I already used up my two free transfers. Should I do another transfer for 4pts hit or stay with this team. ? Mainly want to transfer out Carzolar for Bale.Open Controls
my team atm
bego,jussi
cameron,cuellar,enrique,sagna,turner
silva,walcott,cazorla,michu,guthrie
rvp,ba,holt
am thinking of doing caz+holt>torres+peinaar for hit!!!
yay or nay and is torres gonna play the nxt game and is peinut ok???Open Controls
Baines is in the last chance saloon..... If he can't do it at home to his struggling former club he never will..... 😐
Open Controls
Still got him? 😯
Open ControlsI know... I know...
Open ControlsCould be a great option this GW though.
How did your FFS Cup game go?Open ControlsYou mean Paddy Power? Scraped into QF's, got thrashed in the FPL Cup by a dead team that scored 84pts 😀
Open ControlsNoice, yeah I meant the Paddy Power one. Unlucky with the FPL one, eventually happens to everyone 🙂
Good luck. Non-lurkers ftw.Open ControlsCheers. Tbh I'm finding it a bit of a distraction as it's affecting my planning. Normally I don't care about cups or H2H's and just focus on ranking but being so close it's inevitable that I have one eye on the cup..
Open Controls
Agreed; been nothing but a disaster for me, with so many benched points because of his alleged potential. Time for the sideburns to depart after Wigan...
Open Controls
Agree. I want Baines as one week punt this week. 😉
Open Controls
I'm looking at my Taarabt exit strategy. Off to the ACON soon.
Open Controls
Right lads, whats the consensus on RVP's game time this week?
I figure with dropped points at Swansea Fergie will want to maintain the status quo and guarantee all 3 points in the next game.
Ideal scenario is that he plays all the games (NEW , W BROM, wig) but is possibly subbed off around the 70min mark.
Worst case he misses out one of the next 2 but & comes on as a sub for a dismal 1 pointer. Not the end of the world i suppose but that may put into question his (c) potential. Frustrating.Open Controls
how much Bale will rise before kick off ? 0.1 or 0.2 ?
ThanksOpen Controls
I'd guess only 0.1 but it'll be close...
Open Controls
Hi Lads, is there a prize for Fantasy Official Cup winner? Can't find it in the prize section. Not because I will win, just would like to know 😉
Open Controls
If I took rafael out for 6.0 who should I buy? Azpillecuetta?
Open ControlsWhat to do; Santi > Bale worth the hit?
Bego
Baines Cameron Enrique Nelsen
Silva Michu HRK
RVP Tevez Berba
Subs: Jussi Mert Noble Santi
0 FT, £0 in bank
So, with HRK that’s 4-5 non players, plus Tevez rotation risk. However am wary of a hit after Sess>Santi this week blew-up in my face!Open ControlsThis Tevez business is doing my head in, his stats are better than pretty much every striker over the past 6 weeks, but gametime is an obvious worry. Think I will keep and re-assess with 2 frees next week. Decided...for now.
Open Controls
I'm doing the same with Aguero
Have no expectation he will start midweek, though I hope he does.Open ControlsLikewise. But if either are benched we will be like "Oh I will keep as surely he is gonna start vs Norwich"...ahh.
Open ControlsI am itching to scrap him for a cheap striker.
If Benteke or Berbatov gets their act together then I think regardless of Norwich he'll be gone.Open Controls
Agreed; I can't see better potential value than him in the striker dept, but so frustrating (see my team above). I think stay patient and reassess in the Jan WC
Open ControlsThats the problem, the three players cheaper that Id consider are Berbatov who is out of form playig for a team in poor form, Ba whos fixtures are ugly although it may not matter with him and Benteke who plays for Villa.
Open ControlsExactly. I class Berba the same; potentially a huge player, but it's a case of riding out the blanks in the meantime. Upgrading either would totally blow my WC plans, so I think I'll be keeping them
Open Controls
Am I the only one that have a feeling, Rvp might be rested on boxing day?!
Open Controls
As Mark said. he is fantasy guru after all
Open Controls
When will the GW close? I don't want Mertsackers fluke 3 BAPS to be stolen.
Open ControlsI do.
Open ControlsI wouldn't blame you 😉
Open ControlsRobbed of a Sagna bap, outrageous.
Open Controls
it's already closed i thought...

This London tube strike is making my life hell...not that I live anywhere near London or ever use the tube...

Bunn, Begovic

Cazorla, Sess, Michu, Mata, Noble
RVP, Tevez, Ba,
2 free transfers... 0.2mil, thoughts??Open ControlsHow many Arsenal+WHam players in your squad?
Open ControlsHad 5, shipped out Demel last night, still worried...
Open Controls2players...
one from each teamOpen ControlsJussi Gibbs
Barely affected meOpen ControlsJust Chesney, done Cazorla to Bale
Open ControlsWild Rover - do you think Caz>Bale is worth a hit? You'll see my dilemma above; loathe to take the hit but may only field 10 without it...
Open Controls
2 - cazorla, o'brien
Open Controls
Caz Walcott Gibbsy
Open Controls
Which one to get for Friedel ( 🙁 )???
Vorm or Foster (no bego cuz i already have cameron)
other gk is JussiOpen ControlsHoward?
Open Controls
Best value and most nailed mid for max 4,8 exept from puncheon, who seems to have tougher run of fixtures than for instance reading?
Open ControlsPunch. Don't worry about the fixtures
Open Controls
Best defender for 4.8 million or less? Can't make space for anymore in budget.
Thinking Baird. Thoughts?Open Controls
I'd stay away from Baird personally. Apart from the two games were he scored, he's scored 3 or more points just once all season.
Open ControlsEVS, Brom have two away games in the next 2, one against United too.
Hangeland's not worth 4.8 IMO. Baird on the other hand is playing in MF.
How about Dawson at 4.5??Open ControlsCheers guys. Keep the replies coming if you may?
I've narrowed it down to Hughes/Dawson for now. Thanks again everyone.Open ControlsRekik.
Open Controls
Nobody expected 1-0 for the city ! I did 😉
Nobody expecting a lot of goals against Sunderlend. I am 😀Open Controls
Thoughts... I have RVP Rooney Tevez
Mids are Puncheon SWP Mata Michu Silva
A)Rooney + McCauley out >>> Torres + Ivanovic in (-4)
B)Rooney + Hughes out >>>> Torres + Luiz in (-4)
C) Rooney + SWP out >>>> Torres + Lennon (-4)
D) Tevez + McCauley out >>> Torres + Caulker (-4)
All help appreciated!Open Controls
Wanna ask why Luiz is not on the suspension tightrope? I see in the official fpl website that he has already 4 yellow cards.
I’m thinking bringing him or Ivanovic in for RafaelOpen Controls
