The Scoreboard presents the Fantasy Premier League information you need from the day’s matches all on one screen, including the current top five BPS (Bonus Point System) standings from each match (provisional Bonus Point earners are in bold). Actual Bonus Points will be shown when added – all points are provisional until then.
So, non-Yaya owners, is it really worth bringing him in on the WC?
I have refused to bring him in as his price has gone up and up, relying on the mantra 'he'll stop scoring soon, can't keep going on like this' and 'he's not worth his price tag'
Now at a price of 10.1 he is really quite difficult to fit into the team with 3 big strikers, without compromising too much elsewhere, but with his consistent points hauls its tough to ignore him.
The other issue is that since every man and his dog has him (42% ownership) he's not going to help us make up ground on the people above us by removing another differential.
With Silva (0.8m cheaper, 6.1% ownership), Navas (1.8m cheaper, 4.7% ownership) and Negredo (0.2m cheaper, 18.1% ownership) all providing other options to add to our squads for City coverage alongside Aguero is Yaya really must have?
I think I'll be going without, but i'm certainly going to be agonising over it over the next 10 days.Open Controls
at 10.1 you are tempting fate. THe most annoying thing is he just gets left wide open to make a marauding run into the box hes done it so many times and they never do anything about it. Ridiculous
Open Controls
what you need is a voodoo doll
Open Controls
Tough question. I decided to go without him.. Navas or silva can get points, and with the money you save you can get other players. Simple fact, for me, is that I would have Yaya if I could build around him the team I want to build. Because I can't, I have decided to do without him. This week it worked out OK.
Open Controls
Having refused to get him all season, now in the same boat as you. Honestly I think Silva will match him so the price difference makes him more appealing
Open Controls
for the differential alone, I'm building around not having yaya.
i'd be interested to know how many Yaya teams have Hazard, Suarez and AgueroOpen Controls
Big 4 here o/
Open ControlsI think unfortunately those who got on Yaya at the start of the season probably have all 4 and a very nice team around them - he started at the low, low price of 8.6.
These people are probably at least in the top 100k though, which currently I'm only dreaming of 😉
But yeah, i want those last 3 more than I want Yaya, so thats the way it has to beOpen Controls
think on it a while... he's only 9% of the way toward rising
Open Controls
Absolutely no point in getting him now unless you're already in the top 10k. At 42% ownership you'll probably only see your rank rise if you don't have him
Open ControlsYeah, I mean if I get Navas instead of him in midfield, then thats 1.8m to spend elsewhere, thats roughly an upgrade of Sterling/Januzaj to Cabaye/Eriksen.
And if it pays off I'm more likely to climb the rankings I guess, its just frustrating now that everyone else in my mini-league has given in and got him and I haven't.Open Controls
Just noticed. Adam Johnson may be a god
Open Controls
No. He is a minor muse ... 😉
I am wild carding. He is in. Temporarily.Open ControlsI havent seen him play recently so cant comment, but maybe Sunderland have found a fight. Similiar to the fight Parker has, just as he did when he tried to save you lot from relegation a few years ago.
Open ControlsYep.
Open Controls5 shots on goal
5 goalsOpen Controls
He looked good today. Southampton were absolutely dominant - Sunderland looked eel beaten but he kept fighting away and the second he got some space and an opportunity to open them up, he made a goal.
His next chance he buried.
When he's on form, he's a quality player.Open Controls
Once ramsey's flag changes to Fit again. Can we expect a ridiculous influx of transfers like aguero?
Open Controls
Seems a lot of people have kept him in their team!
Open Controls
Which WC combo would you prefer?
A. Rooney+Ward+Lallana
or
B. J Rod+Terry+Ozil
Assuming Rooney starts next gw.Open ControlsWill Man city beat Barca is the question. They seem like an unstoppable machine
Open Controls
I hope we do 😉
Open Controls
Doosra's wild card tip: make sure that you have some Tottenham ... 🙂
Open ControlsErikson good enough? I had Ade for a while but my WC team could not afford him. Really hoping Erikson does the Biz . . .
Open Controls
Their next 5 fixtures don't look good!
Open ControlsI can live through that. 🙂
Open Controls
Before or after the Man City game? 😉
Open ControlsDuring.
Open Controls
Might keep Gru in my WC, then ditch him for Benteke for GW25.
Open Controls
Wildcard decisions can anyone help?
Yaya or Silva?
Cabaye or Lallana?
Kolarov or Azpill?
Thanks.Open Controls
A) ozil to yaya and navas to cabaye (no money for ramsey when fit)
or
B) ozil to silva and navas to cabaye (exact funds to upgrade janujaz to ramsey)Open ControlsAGUERO (C) next week?
Open ControlsRooney or RVP if one of them starts.
Open Controls
Time to bring in Benteke?
Open Controls
5 good fixtures in the next 6 so why not? Never had him personally
Open Controls2 goals in 2 games, against Arsenal and Liverpool....seems like a sign to me
Open Controls
I'd wait for news on Gabby first.
If gabby is declared fit, Benteke is a great shout.Open ControlsAhh good point
Open Controls
Navas (tot) Eriksen (MCI) Januzaj (CAR)
Got to bench one of the big boys haven't I?Open ControlsNope. Jan gets benched for me.
Open ControlsHey EJ, saw your reply. Really?
Open ControlsI think Jan is a reat player, but he assists the assisster. he will pay off some week, but I can't tell which week. I just think I would feel more confident with one of the other two. A few performances might change my mind though . . .
Open Controls
I'm stuck between Januzaj and Adebayor!
Haz Ozil Cabaye Silva Jan
Ade Suarez KunOpen ControlsYep, think so! I was considering benching Giroud then noticed he scored 2 against Southampton in the reverse fixture.
Not sure how I can start Januzaj.Open Controls
probably Eriksen
Open ControlsCheers all 🙂
Open Controls
Is 73 still good?
Open Controls
schoolboy error this week. 4pt hit to do nasty to kolarov, should have sat tight and had the couple of points from ki, would've been 6 pts better off 🙁
must remember last years rules:
don't wildcard early
take less hits
hits for defs never work
they're stuck to my computer on a post-it and this year i've ignored all of them and it's meant a less successful season than i would've hadOpen Controlsdon't wildcard early seems like a false prophesy but the "don't take a hit on a defender" one is a golden rule IMO.
Open Controlsexcept for Baines.
Open ControlsBut what about that glorious BAE double gameweek from the season before last.
He got about 24 points! I guess DGWs are different though, usually hits for defenders don't pay offOpen ControlsAnd the chances of that being repeated?
Double GW's make sense for hits in any position IMO. Totally different situation.Open Controls
Don't think it was the worst idea in the world to be honest. Could have paid off handsomely
Open Controls
Oh man, I've just came home and seen the results.. I love it when this game throws you a curveball. Anyone that went with Cazorla -- well done, nice job! 🙂
Open ControlsFill in the blanks please. 🙂

Got 22.4m to spend.Open ControlsYup as of now.
Any Boruc injury news on Friday may seal it.
Any ideas on how to fill in the blanks?Open Controls
Terry
Puncheon
Adebayor (sturridge?)Open Controls
TOT vs MANC score prediction?
5-2?Open Controls
Is it worth transferring Sergio in now to catch the rise?
Either adebayor or welbeck has to go, plus silva to janusjaz
Also thinking of Ozil to yaya for a hit....Open Controls
Welbeck may need to go anyway when RVP returns (if)...and Adebayor was pants last week.
Open Controls
Terry
Ramsey/AJ for mid.
BentekeOpen Controls
How much do players need to rise for you to make money from them, is it 0.2m?
Open ControlsKompany and Negredo > Vlaar and Aguero..yay or nay ?
Open ControlsNot too keen on Vlaar.
Open ControlsDid you not think they looked quire good the past two weeks (Ars/Liv)..certainly better than they were and a few nice fixtures coming up.
Open Controls
Yay. Why not Bertrand in the end?
Open Controls
Only thing that can save my GW is a JT goal and CS. sigh.
Open ControlsBoth possible. Chin up!
Open Controls
Does it look like Chambers is first choice right back infront of Clyne?
Open Controls
Anybody wildcarding this week?
I was going to hold on until the final week, but I think I might just pull the trigger now.Open ControlsI am. Market is wild.
Open ControlsI'm in the same boat Will. Not sure, but will need to decide soon.
Open ControlsOh, here's the answer then. I'm currently taking hit to get AJ and Kun. If I have to make more transfers, I probably wildcard, but wait for now.
Open Controls
ramsey back midweek?
Open Controlsi mean for the midweek game
Open Controls
Best 3.9 as close to nailed on defender?
Need to change Clyne @ 4.4 to a 3.9 defender to free up .5 for Aguero.Open Controls
Leagues Update
31 is the current safety score in Last Man Standing after hits.
