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 (potential Bonus Point earners are in bold). Actual Bonus Points will be shown when added – all points are provisional until then.
Zabaleta v Demichelis
Zabaleta:
- 2810 minutes played
- 1 goal
- 5 assists
- 11 yellow cards
- 9 bonus
- 3.9 PPG
Demichelis
- 2160 minutes played
- 2 goals
- 2 assists
- 4 yellow cards
- 12 bonus
- 4.5 PPG
Zabaleta has 21 attacking points and Demichelis has 18, just 'one assist' or 'half a goal' less despite having 25% less minutes than Zabaleta.
Demi = more bonus, higher goal threat, higher PPG, less yellow cards.
Zaba = less bonus, higher assist threat, lower PPG, more yellow cards AND costs 0.4 more.
Despite Zabaleta having accumulated more assists, his last assist was 17 games ago. Of course he may have greater potential, but with just 2 GWs remaining, there's not much time for that potential to be fulfilled.
I think a few people on this site are clouded by Zabaleta's 'attacking flair' as a fullback, and view Demichelis as a 'boring' pick. However, in a game that's all about getting the most points, Demi is clearly the better option IMO, and the stats back that up.Open Controls
They're both evening games though... 😉
Open Controls
3 city attackers all day. plenty of options at the back imo
Open Controls
For much of the season, Navas had the right wing, leaving Zabaleta to play defence (which, in his case means yellow cards). But with Navas not first choice (or injured), Zabaleta has been getting forward a lot more.
I'm not sure if that tips the scales in Zabaleta's favour, though. I'll take central defenders and their higher bonus potential all day.Open ControlsHe's got 3 yellows in his last 4 matches and most of his assists came when Navas was playing.

HI All,
Please kindly help me with this...
MANNONE
JONES, ZAB, Koscielny
NASRI, MATA, AJ, Ramsey
ROONEY,AGUERO,WICKHAM
Sub: Adrian, skrtel, chambers, puncheon
Already taken one hit.
My problem is how to get YAYA in???
I have Three Man City now and what I am thinking is
Ramsey to YAYA
And Zab to Alonso?????
So Basically Ramsey+Zab+8 or YAYA+Alonso????
Please kinldy advise.
Thanks a lot and much appreciatedOpen ControlsDo not take more hits at this point. Your proposal is not worth -8. Not even close.
You have 9 dgw players. You are good to go.Open ControlsThanks for the input
Open Controls
Nasri > Yaya
Open ControlsSo Basically
Yaya should do better than Nasri+4???
I will consider it.
Thanks a lot.Open Controls
So, highest TV since starting playing FPL 7 years ago, Probably going to have highest overall total points after GW 38. Yet worst overall rank since 2007/8.
😕Open Controlsguess suarez(c) most weeks plays a part in pulling up the total points
Open Controlslol it's been that sort of season.
Open Controls
Yeah it looks great because of what you're used to, but then you see someone with 113.5 million
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2276202/history/ oh, and £18 million in the bank!Open Controls
i love this season, one of my best
Open Controls
Nasri created 8 chances VS Palace 😯
(Yaya created 1)Open ControlsNasri was very lively that day...
Actually Ramsey yesterday was very good and created a lot of chances tooOpen ControlsI sold Nasri last night.
lolOpen ControlsFor Yaya? Thinking of doing the same...
Open ControlsJip
-4
Had to do it last night if I wanted V-jayjay... 0.0m itb.Open ControlsThink I'll join you.
Open ControlsI've had Nasri for 3 or 4 weeks now. I can't stand the guy. From his Arsenal days. I can't stand watching a game and hoping someone heads in one of his corners. Even though he looks lively, I just never feel he is going to score. Ala Modric, always seems to deliver the 2nd last pass in the build up to a goal.
Yaya I think will outscore Nasri over the next 3 by at least 10pts.
Cue Nasri 25pt's in DGWOpen ControlsI completely agree with you. He's not an explosive player either so I don't think he's got the potential to rack up 20+ points over the DGW. Yaya on the other hand...
Open Controls
its yaya...no need explanation...just like his 4 shot 4 goals in the dgw
Open Controls
So who is doing Nasri to Yaya -4
Open ControlsDone.
Dusted.
😎Open ControlsBarkley to Yaya for -4 felt good. Even though I spent a cool million on selling him to get him back, the points gained from Rooney & Mata were worth it.
You can't not have Yaya it seems though so if it means Nasri, so be it.Open ControlsI'm sticking with Nasri.
I haven't had Yaya all season, now is not the time to start.Open Controls
Anything better than:
Baines & Puncheon -> P Jones & Yaya (4 points) with the below team?
Mannone
Terry, Demi, Chester
Mata, Ramsey, Eriksen, Puncheon
Suarez, Rooney, Aguero
Gazzaniga, Baines, Williamson, Gnabry
Bank 3.4m, 1 freebieOpen Controls
Perfect wildcard!
70k to 34k with 83 points 🙂
Capitalising on everyone taking hits is a beautiful thing haha
Anyone else call theirs in?Open ControlsYou pretty much halved your ranking, great work yourself haha!
Open Controls
Ramsey and Podolski fail played a major role! thanks!
Open Controls
Well played.
BUT, how the feck do you play a WC and end up with a 3.9m non playing defender with 0.2m in the bank?Open Controls*midfielder
Open Controls😳
Open Controls
True statement however I don't see anyone in that bracket worth the 0.2.
Plus, I wanted some money lying around incase it bit me in the ass.
But thanks hahaOpen Controls
I wish I had the discipline.
Open ControlsHahah I'm sure you're not the only one
Open Controls
I'm a believer of waiting until it's right later on than trying to fix things after 3 or 4 GWs at the International break. I did it 3 weeks ago. Got me 86, 85(-4) and 74pts. Rising from 138k to 38k. 😯
887th overall for April but most importantly in my ML I caught up 35, 34 and 38 points over those 3 weeks to take the lead by 9pts now 🙂Open ControlsHaha that's awesome, great work!
Yeah, I've always left it to the last few weeks to call my WC in. Never been an early WC'er.
Been thinking about it next year but our results have changed my opinion haha
Good luck for the rest of the season mate 🙂Open ControlsYeah, I think my first season I tried it early, then there was that winter GW with almost all the games called off and once the FA Cup started aligning with GWs guaranteeing late DGWs it made it much more appealing to wait.
I see we both spent way to long languishing this season, it's great to hit form at the right time.Open ControlsHaha yeah, exactly!
Now to keep the form haha 😉Open Controls
DGW Prospects that you guys are looking at?
For me:
Demi
Evra
Yaya
Nasri
Mata
Rooney
Wickham
AlonsoOpen ControlsThinking of doing
Baines & Puncheon --> Rafael/Evra/Demi (have to decide) and GiaccheriniOpen Controls
Morning DZ. With just 4 DGW'ers I have run out of ideas of what to do with this lot. Any advice will be appreciated. 5.3 in bank,1 FT
Mannone* (Marshall)
Chester* Azpi Coleman (Distin Ward)
Nasri* Mutch Erik Ramsey (Punch)
Rooney* Suarez Lambert
Can afford either Punch to Yaya or Lambert to Kun.
Thanks!Open Controls
Cheers for the DGW Nasri points Christina 😉
Open ControlsMaybe I should keep him after all...
Open Controlslol
Open ControlsI'm all in.

Open ControlsI'm benching him.
Open Controls
Bench Vlaar or Chester 100%.
Play Eriksen, WHU in shambles.Open ControlsTa
I'm actually worried about GW 38. No chelsea players. Might come down to the wire in my ML and with no money ITB and vlaar/ward/chester/alonso at the back I might be stretched to the limit.Open ControlsWill Chelsea even care? If City and Pool win their games this week there's under 5% chance both slip up last game of the season.
Open Controls
Defenders are worth a hit!
Last week chickened out on Distin > Koscielny, would have gained one point and saved a transfer for his big haul this week
This week I went for it Ward Chester (in affect due to who would have started) > Demi Evra -8, 2 points gained but most importantly 2 transfers saved.
You won't gain huge point by hits for defenders but it can save you transfers!Open ControlsTbh I only got Kos because he was the best purchase for the price remaining after I brought in Rooney and Ramsey.
Open ControlsGreat call. I thought of La Roja last night when Kos scored. He waited a week with his Rooney/Kos in trades!
Must be pissed off.
lolOpen Controls
I think these are my 4 options - whatcha reckon?
A) Baines & Punch -> P JONES & YAYA (4 points)
B) Terry & Punch -> O'SHEA/ALONSO & YAYA (4 points)
C) Punch -> NASRI
D) Baines, Punch & Suarez -> ALONSO, YAYA & RVP (8 points)

Both look good?
Can;t decide between a United defender and DemiOpen ControlsWhy ditch Nasri?
Open Controlsonly way I can afford Yaya unless I get a 4.4 defender for Baines
Open ControlsFollow my lead.
Ramsey Baines Cahill > Yoyo Evra Alonso (-8)Open ControlsCahill out? Do you have another Chelsea defender?
Open ControlsI'd only have 4.1 to replace Cahill with?
Open Controls
Yep. Prefer Demi to a United defender
Open Controls
Yep go for it
Open Controls
Morning all any chance of a RTM?
De Gea
Cahill Zabaleta Chester
Nasri Ramsey Eriksen Mata
Rooney Suarez Aguero
Adrian Kos Ward Noone
Already on -4 any other suggested transfers?
Play Eriksen or Kos?Open ControlsI'm reticent to take too many hits, but others will disagree.
I'd play Kos over Eriksen.Open Controlsah cheers
Open Controls
I'd play Kos instead of Chester.
Open Controls
Not having Yaya is scary. I'd say that I'll be hiding behind the sofa, but thankfully I'll probably miss both games :/
Open ControlsNot had him all season, probably explains my crap ranking.
Open ControlsNor have I, though I'm not unhappy with my rank.
Funny, I know that stubbornness is my biggest fault with this game. Unfortunately, knowing this and doing something about it are two different things.Open ControlsCompletely agree. I've gone the whole season thinking that it can't last, kinda the same with Rooney (who I haven't had either).
Open Controls
Nasri to Yaya for -4 doesn't sound too bad, but for many (myself included) it means downgrading a different player to do it. So you really have to factor in the downgrade too. For me, the only player I'm willing to downgrade is Coleman, and it would have to be to someone worth about 4.8. Instead I could just go Coleman > Zabaleta in the one trade.
So really its:
Nasri + Zabaleta + 4 points
or
Yaya + 4.8 def
For me this swings it towards keeping Nasri.Open ControlsBaines> Evra is a good enough downgrade for me in my eyes.
Open Controls
I'm going without yaya too
Open ControlsWell put. I have the exact same arithmetic.
Open ControlsYeah, Zabaletta owes something after his last DGW. The sums for that from the last DGW are pretty bad, but clean slate now.
Open Controls
Captains?
Rooney (C) ATMOpen ControlsWickham
Open ControlsRVP.
Open ControlsRooney. Aguero vice
Open Controls
hmmm
Baines, Cahill and Ramsey ➡ Jones, Alonso and Yaya ❓Open ControlsI spent 24 pts on hits in the last 3 gameweeks and went from 74k to 31k.
Hits pay!Open Controls
AJ worth a hit for the DGW, or play puncheon?
Open ControlsPlay Puncheon
Open Controls
Eriksen (whu) or
Gerrard (cry)?Open ControlsI've taken three 8-point hits the last 4 weeks 😯 😯
Open Controlswell played. Kos was massive for you. wish i had him instead off Coleman this week.
DamnOpen Controls
SO it's come down to this. GW 37. 23 pts separating position 1, 2 and 3(me).
It's probably the most important (c) decision of the season.
Gulp...
😯Open ControlsMe too. Gotta be differential. Kun(c) + pray
Open ControlsI dunno. The thing is this:
I'm the only one owning Kun out of the top 3. No 2 has done a trade, but I doubt he bought Kun(he doesn't own any Citeh players!) The fact that Kun scored only 2 pts makes he think he is ignoring him. No 2 owns Rooney and will shirley (c) him.
Neither no 1 or 2 owns Yaya or Nasri(yet).
I own Rooney/Yaya/Kun. I'm hoping playing save is the way to go...Open ControlsFor you then shirley Roo(c).
I mean for me. After my hit 40pts back with differentials of Evra and Yaya.
He will cap Roo so gotta go Aguero.Open ControlsOuch, that's a lot.
I hope Kun does well for both of us!
I was hoping he would this last week already, and he didn't even outscore Luk/Sturr!Open Controls
Last week looks to be Suarez hands down so good luck with your choice this week
Nasri C 😉Open Controls😥
Open Controls
Pick one lads.
A) Yaya + Dzeko + Coleman
B) Eriksen + Aguero + Demi/EvraOpen ControlsB but try and squeeze Yaya in somehow.
Open Controls
Suggestion for FFS:
I wish there's a search function which works like this:
For example, we type in "Aguero", all the post with "aguero" in it will appear.(just like the hashtag function)
This way, we don't have to scroll through all the pages to search for "aguero" related posts.
This will really help alot in my opionion.
Peace 🙂Open ControlsOnly problem is if I did it, your post with the word "Aguero" would pop up....and i'm not interested in your post.
🙄Open ControlsYou can always scroll past my post. Im sure 95% of the post with "Aguero" would be FPL related.
and what if we want some information about lesser players like "Sidwell", its difficult to scroll through all the tens of pages don't you think so?Open Controls
a) Baines, Cahill and Ramsey ➡ Jones, Alonso and Yaya (-8)
b) Baines and Cahill ➡ Evra and Demichelis (-4)Open Controls
