A goal in each of the last couple of Gameweeks has brought Andros Townsend onto Fantasy radars over the international break. Since arriving on loan at Loftus Road, the winger seems to have firmly established himself as a key member of Harry Redknapp’s first-team – starting five of the last six matches, he has also chipped in with a pair of assists and received six bonus points in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, averaging 6.6 points per game. In this latest article for members, we take a look at the underlying Opta statistics to see how he’s been performing and examine whether he really is a viable target for the fifth midfield slot in our squads.

Do England really have no better right back than Glen Johnson?
Open Controls-
-
you think he's better than GJ? I don't. Walker is the best choice for me
Open Controls-
-
Nah he's pretty good, needs to improve his concentration to be excellent but he can get there
Open Controls-
Walker is shit. Johnno is bad at defending but he`s their best option imo. Micah is way too incosistant.
Open Controls-
I need to watch a bit more of Walker I think, lol
Open Controls-
He`s lightning quick and got good strength on him. Thats about it. His defensive positioning is as bad as Johnson`s, but his pace saves him a bit more. He cant cross the ball (dont think ive EVER seen him deliver a good cross from open play), he shoots too much for his abilities, and imo is just generally overrated.

+1 - although he may get better.

Would've been undoubtedly better defensively than GJ at least.
Shame that we've got A.Cole, Baines and Gibbs who are all up there with the best at LB but such a poor list of RB's.
Walker's defensive qualities come into question too often. Has potential though.Open Controls
-
Walkers a decent shout. dont think he's as bad as people make out though.
Open Controls

-
Berba is rising, but I can't see the justification of getting him in for either Suarez or Remy.
Open Controls-
new, ful, ARS, eve are his next 4 after the QPR game if he doesn't have a DGW.
I'm not feeling the love just yet.Open Controls
-
-
Not just me thinking this is the most challenging week ahead by far...?
Apart from the Che v Man U dgw or not problem, there is Walcott, Michu, RVP, Aguero, Bale... Do I need Cazorla, Berby, Giroud, Chelsea cover? And as for some of my defenders fixtures.. 🙂Open Controls-
Yeah, problem is the players who are nailed and/or have good fixtures this week aren't the best choices for the subsequent weeks & DGW 33 in particular.
Open Controls-
Charlie, have you considered getting a gravatar and linking your team?

I'm thinking saving transfers until the picture is clearer might be the best option.

2FT. £0.9. Clueless what to do. any tips around? bunn to fab? cheers!
team:
bego
zab, rafael, davies
bale, mata, walcott, sissoko
suarez, rvp, anichebe
subs: bunn, sessegnon, wilson, harteOpen Controls -
Cant decide which transfer to make this week -
Benteke for RVP.
Santi for Theo
Mertesacker for Davies.
Pretty tricky init....Open Controls-
Theo > Santi
Open Controls -
would take Santi & Mertesacker for a hit but 0.2 short! damn!
Open Controls

Who's the more likely starter on Saturday - Poldi or Giroud?

we don't know
we THINK GW36, but we don't knowOpen Controls-
So let me get this straight.... If Chelsea beat Utd on Monday, the teams who will have a double in gameweek 36 (assuming that's when it happens) will be; Wigan, Swansea, West Brom, Man City, Chelsea & Tottenham. Correct?
Open Controls-
that is correct
if United win, you can swap Chelsea and Tottenham for United and StokeOpen Controls

-
-
Okay, I think I know what to do, but just to check I'm not letting the pressure get to me ...
Bego (Bunn)
Zaba, Johnson, Davies (Bertrand, Pearce)
Walcott, Michu, Mata, Bale (Maloney)
Rooney, Suarez, Remy
1 FT, 0.6 in the bank.
What's the obvious move?Open Controls-
-
I was going to do Mata to Cazorla, and then keep Michu until he can become Fellaini.
Not sure I want to get rid of Walcott, and he might even be back at the weekend.Open Controls

Evening all
Looks like berba's rising tonight. Should I do:
Sturridge -> Berba
Or
Sturridge -> Giroud
(Have Suarez and Wally)Open Controls-
Why so eager to sell Sturridge?
Open Controls -
Giroud is guaranteed a DGW. I'm still not sold on the Berba idea, Arsenal have much more to play for and better fixtures.
Open Controls-
Why is Berbatov not guaranteed a DGW?

2 wins in 11, bottom of qualifying. When did Paraguay become terrible?
This is one year when the South American fringe teams should really be battling hard to qualify.Open Controls-
They need Chilavert 😀

How many get through from their group again?
Open Controls -
when were they good??
Open Controls

-
Btw Paul... Worst article ever.. 😉
Open Controls -
Thinking of bringing in suarez for lambert or sturridge. Is it madness?
Open Controls-
Tough call with who you are selling, but you need Suarez imo... If he gets his yellow then it may be a poor move selling Sturridge
Open Controls -
yep thanks. It's a risk, would also involve selling sissoko which I don't think is a good move
Anyone know if monreal is nailed on now gibbs is back?Open Controls-
Don't go near Arsenal fullbacks atm, they are like Chelsea strikers... There are big bargains to be had if you get it right, but.....

Got Netflix for a month & have some free time.
Which TV series/movies should I get into?Open Controls-
Anything but Dexter, The Wire, or Breaking Bad... Everyone here hates them....
Open Controls-
I'm currently watching Prison Break which is pretty decent. Very far fetched, but decent.
Open Controls -
Don't think I'd like Dexter, will look into the other 2.
Open Controls-

Seen bits & pieces & wasn't a fan.
Open Controls

if anyone has seen Dexter beyond the 2nd series is it worth watching that far? Saw up until then and quite enjoyed it
Open Controls-
I`ve seen it all. Really enjoyed it. Like you could imagine the show has its ups and downs, but there are some really good episodes in there. Keep watching m8:)

From an album named after a football legend, memories of some great gigs, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aQtqwIqnvE
Open Controls-
I've seen them probably more times than any other band...in their various guises. Gedge still has it...saw them a year or so ago and they were superb. Latest album is great as well. He's still wondering who's with his girlfriend...all these years on. 🙂
Open Controls-
They are the business, catching up on some of their later stuff tonight, caught the numerous times in londen when I resided there, with Jesus and Mary Chain the best live. And James also.
Open Controls-
I fell asleep during the Mary Chain at their Rollercoaster gig in Brighton...alcohol was to blame though and also already being knackered listening and dancing to the mighty Blur and Dinosaur Jr and swaying to MBV before....what a line up!

Wow, quality stuff, got carried over the stage during a Happy Mondays gig, same reasons 😉 Was at the end so didn't give a monkeys! 🙂

Trap Out
I've had it with him again, he swayed me with the Swedish result but it's a nonsense at this stage, he has to go.
People are blaming the players saying they didn't have bottle. They were out on their feet from chasing the ball, did he bring on a ball player to keep the ball, NO, he takes off our most threatening player and brings on Paul Green instead. Sits the back 4 on the 18 yard line for 30 minutes and prays for the best. He needs to go, yesterday.Open Controls-
Luxury. Try Hodgson.

I have finally come to a conclusion tonight; enough is enough.Open Controls -
Yea yea yea - should be long gone B old news IMO !
Luckily we don't have to monitor Townsend as we got him , team not looking too pretty at mo - waiting till Friday are we ?Open Controls-
Friday, you're the boss this week 🙂
Open Controls-
Wally is the big problem really , prob ride that out ... Our keepers are a big problem soon , prob ride that out till wc (gw33?) , Are we gonna hold both che mf or Haza > caz as our ft ?
And hope to god 3 play at the back or just take a hit with Dawson .....oh and rvp capt thoughts ?Open Controls-
Don't worry about keepers, we'll deal with it when we have to, will get a dgw keeper when we need to.
Haz > Caz sounds good, can always get him back.
No to C RVP. Take you're pick!Open Controls

Cannot survive a berbatov raise tonight if I want to do michu and benteke out, berba and Santi in - shall I do it for a hit or wait?

It is always better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't.

*As a caveat I spent three years in prison after following that advice

Agreed, better to have tried and failed than to regret not trying...

Is that a yes WR?

Go for it. Assuming you'll want them both for the DGW.

Or a defender...

A lad in the row behind me threw a bottle of coke at the Austrian full back tonight. Those of us around him quickly highlighted him to the stewards and had him ejected from the stadium. A nice change to the mugs you see in the prem/wembley most games.

Fair play, in his defence, maybe he was aiming for Trap? 🙂
