The unusual rumble you hear is the sound of a Stewart Downing bandwagon – last seen or heard circa 2010/11, when the winger racked up 167 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points in his final season at Aston Villa. Having provided just two assists over the entire previous campaign, Downing was written off as a Fantasy force this time round. After an uninspiring start, he has now produced attacking returns in each of his last three for Liverpool and has already received over 10,000 transfers in prior to this weekend’s trip to Southampton. In this latest article for members, we assess the statistics to see just why:
Quick question, Play Anichebe or Sissoko?
Open Controls
Bego (bunn)
Baines azp davies (harte, mariappa)
Bale mata walcott sissoko michu
Suarez studge (lambert)
2 FT, 2.7
A michu & studge -> maloney & rvp
B sort defence out?
All my rivals have rvp, cannot get him by just selling baines...Open Controls
I like the moves in A.
Michu and Sturridge are sure to deliver again, but the new faces should outpoint them easily. Defence is fine enough for now.Open Controls
Option A for me... I'm looking to get Baines in for the double, so you're probably best sitting tight with him
Open Controls
alot of kagawa love he is too risky for me gametime wise he may get rested vs sunderland then its the tough derby, also once you get him you will want to keep him for his double if they win chelsea and again will he start both could go horribly wrong, could almost be stuck with him for a while if you get him
Open Controls
Sissoko benchers (not a word is it?) will be full of regret come Saturday evening.
You have been warned. 🙂Open Controls😳
because on Saturday evening you will realise he is going to go well on Sunday 😆Open Controlslambert vs sissoko, lambert wins for me
Open Controls
Wigan do have the worst home from of all the teams. Unless your an optimist then they are at the top of the table for goals against at the DW.
Open Controls
CL draw was intense. Get all the Madrid players! lol
Open Controls
Not been on for a few weeks but is the general thinking that you have to have either Rooney or RVP going into this weekend?
Open Controls
I think they'll both do well this week. Although Reading have just lost their manager can see United getting 4 or 5.
Open Controls4 or 5 by half time 😀
Open Controls
seems that way, but amazingly no one seems to know for sure who will start
Open ControlsSturridge ➡ Rooney is in my head
Open Controlsi was thinking that also, but need hit in midfield to get cash.
already have RVP, but think having both for next few weeks will pay offOpen Controls
took a day off work and lazed about house.
realised that unemployment would be hellish, loose women, david dickinson, 4 year old house buying programme etc.Open Controls
A) Pog -> Rooney
B) Pog and Michu/Sissoko -> RVP and Malony (-4)Open ControlsA

First season playing FPL, Long time lurker, First Post
My Current team is
Bunn
Ivanovic/Dawson/Debuchy
Hazard/Hernandez/Gerrard/Bale/Snodgrass
Lukaku/Remy
Bench
Rudd Demel/Lambert/Fox
Any suggestions or tips? ThanksOpen ControlsLurker you say?
http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lurker.gif
Lambert over Snodgrass, imo.Open Controls
Play Lambert instead of Hernandez or Snodgrass
Open Controlsplay lambert ahead of snodgrass or hernandez
Open Controlslulz at your cup opponent in GW19 🙂
Open ControlsThanks!
Open Controls
In all your lurking, who would be the poster you think would provide the most useful suggestion?
Open Controls
Laszlo Panaflex
Open ControlsInteresting Question - I have a few favorites to be honest
Props to Acquafresca, JackOff, ElNino, Canadian Football, Snake Juice, GranvilleOpen Controls
Kagawa will play this weekend I think but I doubt he will face Sunderland GW31 having played for Japan in the middle east. There is the Monday night replay v Chelsea 3 days later. Same goes for Valencia and Hernandez who have even further international trips. Obviously this applies to other players too
Open ControlsGood point.
As a united fan, Rooney or RVP till the end of the season?Open Controlsthink he is worth a 1 week punt thats it
Open Controls
Makes to keep those players for Chelsea yeah. Kag this week could be huge though, tempting me but I know the sensible move is to avoid
Open Controls
What's your thoughts on Rafael starting Granville?
Open Controls
Its Friday, Im home, fantasy teams set, extracurricular items in order.
Now i just need one favour.......
What team should I start a career with on FIFA?
And......go!Open Controls
Struggling here. 2 FT's, a WC and have no reason to use them. If I could give my transfer to a good cause I would.
Open Controls
not anymore
Open Controls
I'm sick of seeing dead teams go well, so this guy made me happy..
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2415069/event-history/29/Open ControlsHe's been set up for these DGW's all along 😯
Open Controls
I play you in the UEFA council Europa League this week. 🙂
Open Controls
I had the highest points total (by far) of the non-qualifiers in the Europa League :angry:
Open Controls
Hilarious!
Open Controls
Giroud is definitely in my plans. Looking to get him in GW31 for RDG and upcoming DGW. Will go with Walcott & Cazorla.
Am I just ignoring the fact that he's a bit crap? Didn't have him for the earlier DGW but saw the anguish on here.Open Controls😯
I hate him because I owned him the first 5 gameweeks and he did nothing but get 1 pointers...since then I've been bitter, although he does come up with the odd braceOpen Controls
don't like the idea of 3 attackers from arsenal even with a double
Open Controlsit worked well last time...in fact you could have taken your pick between Giroud and Pod and scored well. I only went with Caz and Wally but I would have maybe gone Pod if he wasn't injured and Giroud if he wasn't pants half the time
Open ControlsI had Sagna for the last DGW. I still don't trust them at the back....and it is a nice DGW!
Open Controls
2.5% ownership at 7.5 I think that is worth a punt with those fixtures and arsenal with everything to play for. Coming into my team in a matter of minutes( barring complications)
Open ControlsCheers Kostja. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Next week for me though, need to get a certain Dutchman back in my team this week.
Open Controls
A) Reina to DDG for -4
B) play Mignolet
Logic would be to avoid the hit and play Mignolet, but I'm keen on getting DDG in anticipation of DGW and before everybody gets himOpen ControlsDefinitely play Mignolet.
Open Controls
DGW36 is getting a lot of mention, yet there's currently only Swansea and Wigan that have one.
Or is the consensus that the remaining 2 outstanding games will also be put there?Open ControlsUnited or Chelsea will have there DGW that week very likely as well that will result in a double for 1 more team.
Open Controls
Would somebody please start a vicious/false rumour, Bemba Da, where are you when we need you?
Open Controls😯
Open Controls
Any defenders worth getting this week (with the DGWs in mind)?
Open Controls
Will Sagna drop too 4.6m? Can do Taylor for a straight swap
Open Controls
So, Barfa out for the rest of the season, Bunn's place under threat from Ruddy from the end of this month, and doesn't look like Howard's going to be out long enough for Mucha to become a great option.
Brill...Open Controls
And Zaba, Evans & Szcezny have become rotation threats ... :vexed:
Open ControlsBunn might keep his place, as long as you have a nailed on keeper rotating with him you're fine
Open ControlsI've got DDG who has been nailed on so far though I'm braced for the odd Lindy appearance as United wrap up the league. Not counting on Bunn keeping him place though, Ruddy has quite a reputation.
Open Controls
Am i blind or Adel Taraabt rising like rocket ? 🙂
Open Controls5,000 transfers in today according to TFPL, not really that fast for a Friday. No idea why anyone's buying him when he's not even starting... for QPR.
Open Controls
Doubles folks, I've never had two teams before (tried the bottom 5 thing last season and was intellectually overmatched) -- will it be a bit odd if one of our doubles players scores and ruins the CS of one of our main team's defenders? Just looking at the two squads and realizing the possibility for internal conflict. I'm out of all competitions for my main team so I might find myself rooting more for the newboys.
Open ControlsIt really comes down to pick the players who you think will score the most, trying to accommodate anything else will compromise your points. What I'm doing is I'm going safer in my main team and riskier in my doubles team. Needless to say, my doubles team will win.
Open ControlsHey there, Declan M -- nice HOF work this week. Thanks I filled in the blanks yesterday afternoon while they were all figuring out their draws for the Europa. I gave you and the Count of MH my endorsements, so I hope you do well.
Am teamed with my brother in law, who is just getting into FPL/FFS -- if you were on Christmas Day I asked people to host "Merry Christmas, Max" as my membership gift to him.Open Controls
Thanks for your Goal & Baps last week Benteke, and your 0.1 price rise I got from you today 🙂 Now enter Mr Rooney to do the damage tomorrow!
Open ControlsFirst time owner. hope he won't disappoint me. 😉
Open Controls
My mini league rival has an 80 point lead on me. I meet him in the H2H this week. We have similar teams although I have Michu and Sturridge as differentials. Neither of us have WC left. We both have Bale and RVP. I know he will (C) RVP. Should I (C) Bale to try and catch up? Gut says yes mind says no. What would smart people on here do?
Open Controls
Got to be RVP. Think of it as not losing ground rather than gaining ground.
Open Controls
Michu and Fletcher to Downing and Rooney? Was considering Downing before this article. Already own RVP. Ranking going downhill fast and Downing is clearly the answer...
Open ControlsShould I do Taarabt to Walcott my rival has Walcott and is 60 points clear
OR
Taarabt to Kagawa with Kagawa to Walcott next week? Essentially its a case of do you think Kagawa will out score Walcott by 4 this week.Open Controls
