With their blank Gameweek 27 now out of the way, Liverpool’s favourable set of upcoming fixtures is sure to see plenty Fantasy managers consider Brendan Rodgers’ side as a potential source of points. Factor in the current Gameweek 29 conundrum, with eight sides currently without a fixture, and the Reds’ appeal merely increases – with many premium priced defenders out of the equation, many will be looking to freshen up their backline ahead of the impending fixture chaos. Our latest article for members take a look at the respective displays of Liverpool pair Jose Enrique and Glen Johnson ahead of the weekend deadline as both full-backs make their way onto Fantasy radars.

it just has to be bale.gunners missing sagna and gibbs, it could be carnage and you cant chance missing out on that.
Open Controls
Pick Bale then
Open Controls
mata or bale for me..probs bale
Open Controls
At the moment I'm on Bale (c) and Baines (vc). Its such a headfunk!
Open Controls
bale because you cant be blamed if he does nothing considering form
or mata, because he rested, hes due, and hes floating under the radar.
michu may take a swan dive after cup win
VP just too risky given other solid options this gw
baines is most likely to give you 40 points (C) or 2 points (C)
im going bale but may switch to mata last minute.Open ControlsYes, I think I can rule out RVP (unsure of game time) and Michu (trickiest fixture). Still stuck between Mata, Bale and Baines though. Paper, scissors, stone maybe?

Yossi, I am playing you in La Liga this week 😀
Open Controls
Here's a tricky one for you lot, bench one of these 3 lovely lads. . .
A) Sissoko 😯
B) Felliani 😯
C) Robin Van Perise 😯 😯
???Open ControlsIf you are going to bench Fellaini (which isn't unreasonable) you may as well bin him given the potential blank GW29. N'Zogbia would be a good differential...but probably for another week.
Open Controls
A.
Open Controls
C for me, or maybe Fell cause of form
Open ControlsA)
Open Controls
2 MIGHT not even play but probably RVP
Open ControlsI'm looking at a) but got a feeling C) may not even feature.
#confused.
Surely have to start b) v reading?!
He either plays or doesn't... If that's makes sense?!??Open Controls
If C doesn't feature, it doesn't matter anyway.
Open Controls
Not sure about that one... Felliani (if fit) could be a great pick this week?
Open Controls
Who is playing Totelfootball this weekend? And which games?

Ooh, had forgotten I had some cash tied up in that - may well go and make a team for this weekend's Premier League games 🙂

Lambert will fail tomorrow man qpr are tightening up at the back.

Anyone punting on Ba?

REPOSTING, Want some more opinions!
Was carrying “Bench RVP” flag all week!
Now here’s the Twist……Don’t know why My gut says to Captain RVP.
This game is crazy!Open ControlsI refer the honourable gentleman to my previous answer...
Open Controls
If your username is King Nil Miss and you are in a worse position than your rivals for GW29, simply follow the golden rules.
Picking a reliable captain and not taking points hits for defenders should see you come out of the GW in a healthy position.Open Controls
*claps standing
Open Controls
Basic stuff.
Open Controls
"Fellaini has a chance". What the hell is that supposed to mean? Should i just dump him for Sissoko? If not this week I'll be doing it next week anyways with Everton's blank coming up.
Open ControlsMight aswell keep then?
Open Controls
i've got a dilemma this week. i brought is sissoko due to the missing fixtures so now i've got too many decent players and i don't know who to drop. this was my original team (before the rvp news):
Begovic
Harte Davies Clyne
Michu Walcott Sissoko Mata Bale(c)
Suarez Lambert
Bench: Rudd RVP Demel Martin
who do i bench to get rvp in there?Open Controlsnobody
Open Controls
Is there any striker you would like to have for GW 28 and onwards (beside Suarez and Sturridge)?
Thinking of getting someone for Podolski or should just play front 7 of:
Bale, Mata, Walcott, Stevie G, Roonpig, Lambert, Taarabt/Podolski if so which one of the last two?
Thx lads!Open ControlsTaarabt I would have thought, simply because the Pod has been out of favour at Arsenal in the last three weeks.
I think there are better options than Taarabt though.Open Controls
That's it Baines (C) has sucked me in again.
Will i never learn?!
🙂Open ControlsAs above, I've got him as VC at the moment despite a wealth of options. Could be tempted into promoting him up the order. Sell it to me!
Open ControlsReading looked truly awful at home against Wigan. Everton are due a cleanie.
Even without one, Baines is liable to get forward. He's scoring goals at the moment.
Most other (C) picks have either a tough fixture, or aren't guaranteed 90 minutes (with the possible exception of Mata, who is my current VC)
It will be a MASSIVE differential if it pays off.Open Controls
I know, but it's so tempting......
Open Controls
Think about it this way. Everton conceding is a given (they always do) so youre essentially relying on Jelavic finishing Baines' crosses, or a penalty. Know that you get burnt big time if you do captain Baines
Open ControlsIt will go down to the wire on Sat I'm sure.
I totally understand your argument. It's probably the right one.
But you've got to take risks at this stage to move up. If I stick it on Mata and he comes in, a large majority will have done the same so the net effect is diminished.
I'm top of my ML's by a margin, so I'm really just shooting for top 1k if possible. Maybe it's time for a gamble!Open Controls
Just a heads up to all RVP sellers...
I sold him for the DGW, and even wrote out a logical explanation as to why it was a good transfer. He scored 12pts.
All I'm saying is you'll want him back, and soon. These are the weeks you utilize your 15 man squad, instead of scrambling and selling the top scorer to get out 11 players.
Consider yourselves warned.Open ControlsIt's more fun going without RvP I reckon 😉
Open Controlsmadness aint it
Open Controls
But Suarez has every chance of being better value than RVP - and he's a (C) choice a few times over the coming weeks.
Open ControlsJust stating a few repercussions that's all.
Open Controls
Most people are going to have to sell one of RVP, Bale, Walcott, Mata, and will lose money on any of them when they bring them back.
You could go in with 10, but with those 4 on the bench it's not going to be a very good 10 (5 at the back and 2 in midfield).
If you accept that you'll need to sell one of them, selling RVP this week makes a lot of sense - unlikely to start v Norwich, you can bring in Suarez who has a good fixture.Open Controls
Totally agree.
Open Controls
I would not suggest anyone sell RVP unless the blank in confirmed, then at least I could understand the argument.
Open ControlsThe blank will be blank. To many heads stuck in the sand.

doing some early 2013-14 FPL scouting today.
i see wolves play watford tonight, want a close look at this Vydra lad. Watford looking a good bet for promotion.Open Controlsarent half their players on loan?
Open Controls
Yep – they have 9 players on loan from clubs with the same owners.
Open Controls
Yup and what happens if they go up?Will have to offload the nucleus of their team. Straight back down.
Open Controlsahh vydra from udinese. my glaring mistake.
Open Controls
So captain poll then fellas
a) Bale
b) Suarez
c) Mata
d) LambertOpen Controlsa)...no c)...or d)...but, in retrospect b)
Open Controls
D
Open Controls
Suarez for me this week...
Open Controls
Thinking ahead here.. With the current transfers I intend to make, keeping in mind the blanks in GW 29, I will be left with 9 players with a 4 point hit. Assuming that the fixtures list remains the same as it stands, how many will you field?? Anyone worse that 9 players with a 4 point hit?
Open ControlsJust saw the highlights of the City - Che game to look at Aguero and Mata again. Aguero got sooooo many chances.
He's nailed on correct? Also, how were Villa vs. Arsenal?Open Controlsheres a short helpful coping viddy for those like me who dropped RVP and need a way to handle it properly:

you are all welcomeOpen Controls😆
Open Controls
so not up with the RVP news.
But havent got Bale, should I??
If so who for?
Mata, Walcott / RVPOpen Controls
Well if you get rid of RVP you'll need to make 2 subs as bale is a midfielder. Mata was rested midweek so will play, Walcott probably wont shine against Spurs so him.
Open Controls
Evs, the Swans are a tough team to break down. Especially at home.
Open Controls
Vorm
Enrique--Wilson--Vertonghen
Gerrard--Michu--Bale--Walcott--Fellaini
Van Persie--Suarez
Jaaskelainen--Debuchy--Harte--Pogrebnyak
A Pogrebnyak>Lambert Vertonghen>3.8 defefender?
B Dump RVP?
C Stay put?
Any other suggestions will be entertained i am open to any good ideas please i need some help with this 1Open Controls- Open Controls
Anyone listen to The Football Ramble podcast? It's a good listen along with obviously the Scoutcast.
