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 Controlsyou think he's better than GJ? I don't. Walker is the best choice for me
Open ControlsNah he's pretty good, needs to improve his concentration to be excellent but he can get there
Open ControlsWalker is shit. Johnno is bad at defending but he`s their best option imo. Micah is way too incosistant.
Open ControlsI need to watch a bit more of Walker I think, lol
Open ControlsHe`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.
Open Controls
+1 - although he may get better.
Open Controls
kyle walker?
Open Controls
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 Controlsnew, 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 ControlsYeah, 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 ControlsCharlie, have you considered getting a gravatar and linking your team?
Open Controls
I'm thinking saving transfers until the picture is clearer might be the best option.
Open ControlsThinking the same but have to play some horrors this week and hope for the best if I do.. 🙂
Open ControlsEveryone is in the same boat though.
Just try and get XI out and captain Suarez, you'll be fine 😎Open Controls
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 ControlsCant decide which transfer to make this week -
Benteke for RVP.
Santi for Theo
Mertesacker for Davies.
Pretty tricky init....Open ControlsTheo > Santi
Open Controlswould take Santi & Mertesacker for a hit but 0.2 short! damn!
Open Controls
Who's the more likely starter on Saturday - Poldi or Giroud?
Open ControlsChim chim in-ey
Open Controls
we don't know
we THINK GW36, but we don't knowOpen ControlsSo 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 Controlsthat 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 ControlsI 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 ControlsWhy so eager to sell Sturridge?
Open ControlsGiroud is guaranteed a DGW. I'm still not sold on the Berba idea, Arsenal have much more to play for and better fixtures.
Open ControlsWhy is Berbatov not guaranteed a DGW?
Open ControlsHe is
Open ControlsI thought so too... but wondered what Triggalicious knew that we didn't
Open ControlsMost people are getting confused... me included.. 🙂
Open Controls
In GW33?
Open Controlsyup in GW33
Open ControlsOf course, it's Chelsea v Tottenham that would be off.
Oh, I don't know. That's another problem I need to deal with now!Open Controls

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 ControlsThey need Chilavert 😀
Open ControlsHow many get through from their group again?
Open Controlswhen were they good??
Open Controls
Btw Paul... Worst article ever.. 😉
Open ControlsThinking of bringing in suarez for lambert or sturridge. Is it madness?
Open ControlsTough 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 Controlsyep 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 ControlsDon't go near Arsenal fullbacks atm, they are like Chelsea strikers... There are big bargains to be had if you get it right, but.....
Open Controls
Got Netflix for a month & have some free time.
Which TV series/movies should I get into?Open ControlsAnything but Dexter, The Wire, or Breaking Bad... Everyone here hates them....
Open ControlsI'm currently watching Prison Break which is pretty decent. Very far fetched, but decent.
Open ControlsDon't think I'd like Dexter, will look into the other 2.
Open ControlsSeen 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 ControlsI`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:)
Open Controls
Goal I, Goal II and Goal III:Taking on the World.
Open ControlsBreaking Bad, if you haven't seen it.
I think I'm going to start The Walking Dead or The Killing on Netflix soon too, they're both highly recommended to me.Open ControlsHere's a copypaste for you from my desktop.

From an album named after a football legend, memories of some great gigs, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aQtqwIqnvE
Open ControlsI'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 ControlsThey 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 ControlsI 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!
Open ControlsWow, quality stuff, got carried over the stage during a Happy Mondays gig, same reasons 😉 Was at the end so didn't give a monkeys! 🙂
Open Controls
What's the crack with Netflix anyway?
Can you sign up, get a month free, then cancel at the end of the month?Open Controlsneed a bit of technical help guys.

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 ControlsLuxury. Try Hodgson.
Open Controls+1
I have finally come to a conclusion tonight; enough is enough.Open ControlsYea 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 ControlsFriday, you're the boss this week 🙂
Open ControlsWally 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 ControlsDon'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
I can 😀
Open ControlsEither. I am very decisive. 😉
Open ControlsI used to be decisive, but now I'm not so sure 😉

Rafael – Davies – Zabaleta (Wilson,Pearce)
Lampard – Walcott – Michu – Bale (Sissoko)
Sturridge – Benteke– RVP
1.8mil in the back what to do?
A) Pearce -> Monreal
B) Michu -> Cazorla
C) Somthing elseOpen ControlsIt's a truly great time to be a 50% English 50% Irish football fan 🙄
Open ControlsWhat if they were playing each other, what would the percentage levels be at then?
Open ControlsIt would be hard to get worked up over a 0-0 draw ðŸ™

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?
Open ControlsIt is always better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't.
Open Controls*As a caveat I spent three years in prison after following that advice
Open ControlsAgreed, better to have tried and failed than to regret not trying...
Open ControlsIs that a yes WR?
Open Controls
Go for it. Assuming you'll want them both for the DGW.
Open ControlsMy option b is far more crazy - Rooney michu and Davies for berba cazorla and baines
Open Controls
Berba rising tonight?
Open ControlsVery close.... Might be decided by 100 transfers or less
Open Controls
Some good haxing tonight, but really looking forward to the PL this weekend, needs to be back soon 😕 feels like forever
Open ControlsNot me. But I am getting Berbatov.
Open Controls
Just brought in Cazorla on my FT for Michu... Do I get in Lampard for Walcott for a hit or just play Sissoko in case Walcott doesn't play...
Open ControlsOr a defender...
Open Controls
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.
Open ControlsFair play, in his defence, maybe he was aiming for Trap? 🙂
Open ControlsWere ye shown on the telly though? 😉
Open ControlsYou really can't help yourself can you? I started to read it and thought, 'Wow, SOM has made a post that wasn't attacking the English...' Silly me... 🙄
Open Controls
Offski. Have a good night. 🙂
Open ControlsJK - I say we save.
Open ControlsRemember when Suarez used to only hit the post? Times were simpler back then...
