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.
-
Option A
Benteke/Berba and Michu
Option B
Torres and Taarabt?
If A, Benteke or Berba?Open Controls-
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.

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 Controls-
I know... I know...

Could be a great option this GW though.
How did your FFS Cup game go?Open Controls-
You mean Paddy Power? Scraped into QF's, got thrashed in the FPL Cup by a dead team that scored 84pts 😀
Open Controls-
Noice, yeah I meant the Paddy Power one. Unlucky with the FPL one, eventually happens to everyone 🙂
Good luck. Non-lurkers ftw.Open Controls-
Cheers. 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..

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. 😉

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...

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 Controls -
What 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 Controls -
This 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 Controls-
Likewise. But if either are benched we will be like "Oh I will keep as surely he is gonna start vs Norwich"...ahh.
Open Controls-
I 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 Controls-
Thats 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 Controls-
Exactly. 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

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 Controls-
-
Punch. 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 Controls -
EVS, 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 Controls -
Cheers guys. Keep the replies coming if you may?
I've narrowed it down to Hughes/Dawson for now. Thanks again everyone.Open Controls-
Rekik.

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 -
