QPR’s home hitman hogs the array of impressive numbers on show from the weekend, ably assisted by stellar showings from Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Elsewhere in our regular members’ statistical digest, we examine how Man City’s tactical tweaks influenced two of their key midfielders and analyse how a pair of returning United assets are hinting at major hauls as their minutes begin to build.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Am I the only one that thinks it's completely ridiculous that Ki was awarded all three baps after that goal?

    1. Syd.
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He was Ki to the goal being scored

      1. Shota Coco
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Ha!

    2. Optimus.
      11 years, 10 months ago

      But it was Ki who unlocked the defense

      1. Park the bus
        11 years, 10 months ago

        He had the secret

    3. Park the bus
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thems the rules. With any set statistical stsfem there will be a fair number of anomalies in calculating them

  2. Park the bus
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Siggy prognosis anyone? Planning Sig to Silva and possibly Lukaku to Rooney. Think he'll play up top in next game

        Am I the only one who finds this a tad ironic? 😉

        1. AH 🙂
          11 years, 10 months ago

          No

        2. Park the bus
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Just an excitable United fan I think!

          1. AH 🙂
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Yep , I think so too lad

      2. Syd.
        11 years, 10 months ago

        This reminds me of a song 😉

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney is 2nd top of my out list... After lukaku

      1. Park the bus
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm rethink required then!

        1. Amateur Pundit Zan
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Too much mf time, cant captain him, not worth the money. Avoid.

    3. Gimli son of Gloin
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'm thinking about getting rid of Rooney though I'll probably end up waiting for the WC

  3. Phaze 1
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Who is the best defender to bring in over the xmas period? Have 5.9 max spend and my current defense is:

    Hart, Elliot

    Terry, Hutton, Yun, Bartley, Wisdom

    Thanks.

    1. HVT
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yuk, Naylor/O'Shea

    2. Rossamous
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Bartley out to Clichy imo. I did Bartley to O'Shea

      1. HVT
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Clichy/Kolarov/Clichy/Kolarov.....

      2. Gimli son of Gloin
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Not Clichy.. pretty sure Kolarov will be used regularly while City are short up front to offer an attacking outlet.

        1. Rossamous
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Good point

  4. HVT
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Pressers Thursday?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      christmas day?

      1. HVT
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Did I hear someone say Christmas?

    2. Park the bus
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Xmas day? No chance

  5. Rossamous
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I've started Yun 3 times now since gameweek 13 and he has returned me a grand total of 1 point. That's 0.33 points/game. Not bad for a player sitting at fourth on the watchlist for defenders.

    1. Optimus.
      11 years, 10 months ago

      We get what we pay for 😆

    2. HVT
      11 years, 10 months ago

      🙂
      (i)?

    3. A.
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Solid decision making, perhaps a bit unlucky with your benching decisions?

      Baines has got me exactly 1 PPG for the last 6 weeks at nearly double the price!

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Therefore yun is twice as good value as baines. What a bargain

      2. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yes that's been bad, but he's averaging 4.7ppg. Not too shabby.

    4. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Surely Yun should be your 14th outfield player who only gets called upon when absolutely down to bare bones.

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yun, hutton and dummet should all be my 14th outfield player granville but i got to play one of them

        1. Rossamous
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Same with Yun, Hutton, Bartley. Started Bartley once since gameweeks 13. 6 points. Hutton twice. 8 + 1 point. Yun is the only one to not deliver when called upon.

        2. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I would play Hutton out of that rogues gallery.

      2. Podge
        11 years, 10 months ago

        😯 Cornerstone of my defence

    5. Ziegler1988
      11 years, 10 months ago

      At least he got me one cleanie against Burnley. Doesn't take the sting off starting him over Clyne this GW

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        11 years, 10 months ago

        What?!

        1. Ziegler1988
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Southampton had tons of players missing and had lost five in a row. Not one I regret since I was always starting Yun. I'm more mad about Bony not staying on the bench

    6. Heydudes13
      11 years, 10 months ago

      😆 😆

    7. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      The trouble with players like Yun is that you need to keep funds in case you want to get rid.

      I had to get rid of him but had to sell Rooney (no real loss) as an enabler to upgrade Yun.

  6. Ralphie Cifaretto
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Who to get rid of, rooney or Lukaku?

    1. bazrah99
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Out of those I would do Lukaku.

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku

    4. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku to Benteke.

    5. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney, I don't think the return of Falcao will enhance his prospects of playing further forward.n

  7. Dinamo Drachma
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Costa to Rvp?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I will wait. If Costa blanks tomorrow I might do it GW 19.

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No, Costa is slightly better, have both and I'd have Costa before RVP.

  8. McSauce
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Ideas? 1FT 0.8m ITB?

    Foster
    Davies Baines Hutton
    Yaya Hazard Siggy Sanchez(C)
    Austin Costa Bony

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Wait on Siggy news, save if fit

      1. McSauce
        11 years, 10 months ago

        thanks

    2. Yanited
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy - Eriksen

  9. Skogen89
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    what to do with this team?

    Hart
    Hutton - Azpi - Wisdom - Dummet - Yun
    Sanzhes - Hazard - Downing - Siggy - Boyd
    Rooney - Austin - Costa

    1 ft
    3-5 itb

    A) Wisdom--> Zabaleta\ Demichelis
    B) Boyd (4 yc) --> Lampard\ Milner (rotates well with siggy)
    C) Siggy --> Silva\ ohers
    D) Rooney --> Giroud\ RVP
    E) Austin --> Giroud
    F) Save

    Toughts?

    1. Dinamo Drachma
      11 years, 10 months ago

      D) for RvP

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Save

    3. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      C

  10. DrunkPhilosophy
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Krul Foster
    Baines Clichy Zab Duff Hutton
    Siggy Nasri Sanchez Downing Marney
    Rooney Costa Bony

    Was going crazy and thinking of taking a (-8), but I think the only sensible move for this week would be Rooney to Falcao(c)

    Old Trafford will be going crazy singing his name, with Di Maria feeding him?
    What do you guys think?

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If Di Maria starts then Mata is dropped I would think and Rooney plays further forward.

  11. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    How to use my FT?

    3.4 in the bank

    Forster
    Zabaleta, Cresswell, Naylor
    Yaya, Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy
    Costa, Austin, Kane

    Subs: Gilks, Hutton, Dummett, Albrighton

    1. cjw176
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe get a Chelsea defender?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks! Who to get, Azpi or maby Courtouis?

  12. S.Kuqi
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Madness to do Rooney to Giroud (c)?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No, could pay off

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Interesting. I may consider that one myself

      1. S.Kuqi
        11 years, 10 months ago

        the problem is that its for a hit 🙁

        1. Amateur Pundit Zan
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Probably not worth it then as you can captain sanchez (i assume as everyone seems to have him)

          1. S.Kuqi
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Sanchez or Haz for me atm.

    3. Stannage
      11 years, 10 months ago

      That is exactly what I'm thinking!

  13. VougieDipond
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Cresswell (5.6 to spend) to:

    A)Clichy
    B)Vergini
    C)Liverpool defender
    D)Utd Def

    Thanks

    1. Dinamo Drachma
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Clichy has rotation, so you'd better get Zabaleta

      1. VougieDipond
        11 years, 10 months ago

        he is much more than 5.6

        1. Dinamo Drachma
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Oh my bad! Do you have Villa cover?

          1. VougieDipond
            11 years, 10 months ago

            not yet, will wait until they have played swansea. I might just save my FT then

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't sell Cresswell for any of those

    3. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Why rid of Cresswell, he has played every game so far.

      Even if he only returns 2 points next game I think he is one of those that may play both 26th and 28th

  14. jimbobmij
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Nasri and Baines to ADM and Mangala. Transfer or stick?

    1. Syd.
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Stick

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Looks calm on the surface - but the legs(knees) are going like the clappers! 😉

      1. Frank Black
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Who looks calm? Baines? More like dead.

    3. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Silva and mangala

    1. Screaming Midget
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Easy tiger.

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        😀

    2. Dinamo Drachma
      11 years, 10 months ago

      RVP (C), Doos?

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Nope. Cazorla, currently.

        1. Dinamo Drachma
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Cool! Thinking of getting Rvp to captain him, Sanchez seems so tired

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 10 months ago

            He really is, I think. 🙁

            1. Dinamo Drachma
              11 years, 10 months ago

              But does it worth ditching Costa for a hit?

              1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                11 years, 10 months ago

                No. Although ... it is the Hammers ... 😉

                1. Dinamo Drachma
                  11 years, 10 months ago

                  well the Hammers will not easily concede more than two goals. As for Newcastle, they look very vulnerable at their back. *tossing a coin*

    3. Optimus.
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I might be joining you defending on the fitness of Siggy/Mirallas

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

    4. Syd.

      343 for me

    5. FF Dirtbag

      Front two will be?

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Austin & van Persie.

        1. FF Dirtbag
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Interesting. Problems when Austin is away though surely?

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 10 months ago

            True. But his form is JAAAMMM hot!!!

            1. FF Dirtbag
              11 years, 10 months ago

              Couldn't disagree with you there.

        2. HVT
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Falcao will affect rvps returns IMHO.

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Not as much as that fecker who pretends to be the manager. 🙁

    6. Vardy Gras PBFC
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'm thinking this too. Costa & Austin up top.

      Think it's time to switch to Cazorla. Cheers for the tables, inspired me to actually create some of my own and I skewed them nicely to defend my decision to captain Hazard this week!

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        😆 Good man.

        Although ... you really should avoid that sort of thing. 🙂

  15. Vardy Gras PBFC
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Thinking Siggy & Sanchez to Silva & Cazorla to freshen things up.

    Add in Hazard Eriksen & YYT and that's one Downing short of the current creative crew?

  16. VougieDipond
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Torres to Liverpool, what a laugh that would be. Torres and Balotelli in tandem

  17. Bubz
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Struggling to pick between Eriksen, Silva, Cazorla & Sterling 🙁

    1. AH 🙂
      11 years, 10 months ago

      catorla

    2. VougieDipond
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Silva by some distance imo

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Silva

    4. Yanited
      11 years, 10 months ago

      eriksen

      1. Bubz
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Which one have you brought in this week? Did you ship Siggy for them?

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yup - Silva. I got Cazorla last week.

          1. Frank Black
            11 years, 10 months ago

            I want to do the same move....it scares me that i'm starting to think kind of like you.

            1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 years, 10 months ago

              That is a terrifying thing ... 😉

              1. Frank Black
                11 years, 10 months ago

                Although you copied my Yaya move and that went well for me with a huge green arrow this GW. The FPL works in mysterious ways.

          2. Bubz
            11 years, 10 months ago

            It's a tricky choice between the two, with Caz having the better fixture this week, but Silva better fixtures thereafter. Leaning towards Silva.

            1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 years, 10 months ago

              I don't think that you can actually go wrong ...

    5. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Silva

    6. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Silva or Sterling, I reckon.

  18. makaveli70

    plaese help
    who to captain for next 2 GWs??

    1-Downing
    2-Silva
    3-Fàbregas
    4-Sánchez
    5-Pellè
    6-Austin
    7-Costa

    1. Yanited
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Out of that, Sanchez next week.

    2. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Silva then Austin.

  19. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    When is the deluge of RMWWT's due to start ? I kind of like it on here at the moment.

  20. Yanited
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Thinking Baines to Zab this week, thoughts? Is anyone staying with baines? Zab looked dangerous this week.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Go Zab

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Problem is I'm sure Zabaleta will miss one of the next 2 games whilst Baines is nailed.

        I thought this but Zab has already been rested last week which makes me think he'll play

          True. Just a risk with 2 games in 3 days when the 2nd one is Burnley

      Keeping Baines

      I've waited on baines long enough so I just brought in zab. Evertons form is not good but home to stoke is a possible good point haul. Risky.

    The beauty of saving a transfer this week gives you 2FT two days later.

        I think so.

      Only to be wasted on players who get rested

        If it helps, we will know the Spurs v United lineup before the deadline.

          Not the match I would choose to have the lineups for......

      If Siggy is fit I'll be tempted to do that this week.
      Really annoying trying to plan transfers when the guy you bring in might be rested.

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      1. Sepp Blattered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Save but with 3 players due to depart to ACON imminently then you need to start thinking about an exit strategy before the New Year.

    Still need to work off anger from getting nasri over silva. Article above just compounds this. Should i
    A) do something productive to take my mind off it
    B) go to the pub for the whole day
    C) kick the cat

  29. Drip Doctor

    11 years, 10 months ago

    Wonder how many of DI Maria' shots were actually threatening, most seem to be pot shots from long range.

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Doesn't really matter. They'll go in eventually.
