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.

As it's the dead zone, took some time to look at my captain points. Made a lot of wrong choices (never owned RVP) and have been in an especially bad run in the last 4 gameweeks. Far too many low (c) scores, and not one truly exceptional score all season. Would have done better just leaving the armband on Michu all season (had him since GW1). Anyone worse than this? (doubt it)

yea thats pritty ruff, its always worth it if you can make it into the 8-14 points from your captain. And no +24 yet sorry mate

get rvp or rooney into your team..
Open Controls-
Rooney coming in for Ba this week. Possibly as captain too. Hoping his Swansea performance was a one-off but as you can see by my captain choices, he's now likely to be rested, or play but do nothing except get a 5th yellow and a ban
Open Controls-
personally don't think rooney will be rested though..have to give credit to swansea's defense for their effort last night..very determined defending..
Open Controls-
actually thought the Swansea defending was terrible, partly due to Tiendalli coming in and being awful positionally. There was some good last ditch defending, but if you're resorting to last ditch, then you've likely made a mistake before-hand.
United and Rooney were not their usual assured selves in front of goal but I think I'll still get him, as he's looked good before that and Fergie did say he needed to keep playing to maintain his form and fitnessOpen Controls

Thanks in adv.Open Controls -

Then pick Michu back up in 1 gameweek?Open Controls -
Should I do Ba + Sess -----> Torres + Pinnar for free?

Thanks , it's done 🙂

I think Pinnar got lucky on the goal this weekend. Bounced of his Shin.
But home to Wig sounds good. Chelsea home no good and newcastle away no good.Open Controls-
Everton are yet to loose at home this season. No good? Attacking returns in each of his last 3 games as well.

This GW will be for Baines Goal+CS week with 15 points. It's his turn to be the highest scorer of the week for this year.

Is Piennar a good move for this GW.
Wigan at home and he looks in form.
Yaya to Piennar is what am thinking of ??Open Controls-

Aatish :
Did Yaya to Pienar for this GW. Is this a good move
my rest of team for this GW :
Ming
Cameron, Enrique, Shorey
Snodgrass, Mata, Pienar, Sess
Fletcher, Rooney (c), Suarez
Sub: Jask, Ridg, Walcott, Demel
Hows the team looking?
3 Green arrows and am moving up slowly.Open Controls-
beware with Rooney(C) mate. He was terrible yesterday and subbed off.
Open Controls-
i saw that. One from long distance was a good strike. But should have scored from inside the box. Plus 4th yellow. I hope he can play 3 games without the 5th one
Other captain option i can have is Piennar or Fletcher.
But NC at home seems good for Rooney.Open Controls

Carzolar is my next in line if it's not for that I already made 2 free transfer , I would trade him out this week for Bale. Should I do it for another -4pts hit?? I have to worry about the FPL cup too so may be I'll wait and see who is my next fixture. lol
Open Controls-
Me too. Waiting for next fixture to take a hit. 😉
Open Controls-
I hope that I don't run in to any of our friends from this site too soon , I hope 🙂

I don't know how he managed to get a hattrick but I prefer Walcott over him and 1m less too.
So, I'm also doing Caz to Bale.Open Controls-
For me, Carzolar was a sub for Bale while he was inj so if to stick to my original plan he has to go plus he has a blank week too so the -4pts is very tempting. I'll wait and see if my rival make a crazy 2-3 transfer or not before I make another move. 🙂

I did Sess to Pienaar as City look good to keep a CS so +1 points for Yaya. Sunderland have some tough fixtures coming up so get rid of one of Sess/Fletcher next week.
Open Controls-
-
Thanks Aatish.
I think Sess is looking good at the moment.
Yaya would be staying deep but he is a bonus king.
Lets see last time this fixture was not good for City. Hoping the same this tooOpen Controls

Agree, I did Sess to Pienar for similar reason. Although, Sess did serve me well since I get him in the week that he get 2 digits pts.

I hope I don't have to regret trading him out. 😛

Sub: Cerny, Guthrie, Cuellar, Santi Cazorla

Not bad. 🙂
you seems not fancy Caz to Bale?Open Controls

Guys, quite startled atm.. have 2 options this week:
A) Play Sess, save FT -- allows me to get Walcott next week
B) Sess> Pienaar
(Also own Fletcher+Cuellar -- forced to play all 3 this week vs City!)Open Controls-
save ft
Open Controls -
Get rid of Fletch imo. You fancy a punt?
Open Controls-
Berba for explosiveness? Benteke didnt look up for it today, but then again berbasloth has returned 7/8 blanks in a row.
Open Controls-
I am a Berba fan so i'd recommend him. Upside is there. Alternatively, Jelly vs. Wigan at home is another good punt.
Open Controls-
Sorry. 0.3 banked, so no wiggle room to upgrade.
Is Berba worth the risk? Then would have to take a hit next week to get Walcott in..Open Controls

Gallas out for Davies. Too much rotation risk with BAE back.

Alreet lads. How's it going? Anyone still playing the skysports game? I've been trying for a while to find somebody on here to ask about strategy. I moved to 375 place after saturday's games, so want to make a good go of it now.
I have cazorla and arteta with no game this week. I have 18 transfers remaining. I would want at least one of them for the Newcastle game (next week). Going forward, are there any better midfield options than these two? If not, should I just stick and swallow the 2 x 0 points? Or transfer one or both of them out, to get back? My other mids are Bale, Yaya and Michu. I would probably want Fellaini back in 4 games time.Open Controls-
No clue what the rules are mate really but Mata is a good buy imo. That is all
Open Controls -
Hi. Im playing, ranked about 2400 with 12 transfers left. I dont have any real stategy. Sitting on Santi and Verm this week. With my lack of transfers, I need to sit on them. Are you planning Fellaini in for one of the arsenal guys after the dgw? If so, I would just take the 0 pointers this week
Open Controls-
Planning on getting Fellaini back in for the SWA game. Not sure for who though. I will check form at the time. I still have 18 transfers, so probably could get one out and back in again, but i'm not sure if it would be worth more to store transfers for later.

Captaining Rooney this GW with Piennar as VC or should i do Piennar as c and Ronney as vc
Did Rooney play that bad against SwansOpen Controls-
Yes, Rooney's worse performance ever in Premier League. He was not even able to complete some simple pass.
Open Controls -
have to give credit to swansea's defense..rooney captain i think, he will be more determined to perform better especially against newcastle
Open Controls -
What are your other options?

I had a bad defense anyway but how well will olsson get on in the weeks to come?

Slow movement. Will throw an RMT out there.
Begovic
Rafael Enrique Nelsen
Michu Mata Bale(vc) Sterling
RVP(c) Berbatov Suarez
McCarthy Clyne Mertsacker Walcott
2 Arsenal meaning i should just about scrape through with 11 on the field. Rafael's fitness is crucial. Transfers made.Open Controls-
Strong Team. Perfect I'd say.
Open Controls -
Brought in Bale i assume?
Do we think RVP will start?Open Controls-
I reckon he will. Slight doubt might make me captain Bale.....or....Dimitar..
Open Controls -
SAF will play Rooney and Chico? I think Rooney can be benched based on yesterday performance?

I wouldn't be happy playing Sterling vs the best defence in Europe (according to AVB) but great team otherwise.
Open Controls-
I am happy with Suarez against Stoke Defence. I have not been watched Stoke play for some months now. This is the time to enjoy the match see why Stoke are keeping many CSs. Really hoping Suarez can destroy stoke Defence. 🙂

Hey lads, I would really appreciate your opinions on this.
A) Garrido + Cazorla + Tevez --> Zabaleta + Pienaar + Ba (Would leave me with 3.4 in the bank for future transfers.)
B) Garrido + Cazorla + Tevez --> Vertonghen + Taarabt + Rooney (Would leave me with nothing in the bank.)
C) Garrido + Cazorla + Tevez --> Zabaleta + Snodgross + Rooney (Would leave me with 0.2 in the bank.)
Which one do you think would be best?
My Team:
Begovic, Mignolet,
Rafael, Garrido, Huth, Johnson, Demel
Cazorla, Sterling, Mata, Puncheon, Michu
Suarez, Tevez, DefoeOpen Controls-
A) don't think Pienaar will keep form for long, Ba's goals will dry up due to lack of supply
B) Taarabt on 4 yellows + AFCON + inconsistent
C) like this best, though not sure on Norwich fixtures or Zaba rotationOpen Controls-
