With the gameweek complete, our Members can now soak up all the numbers from another weekend’s football via our Members area. All the Opta data and ICT Index scores are in and, as usual, we can now offer a match-by-match breakdown of the standout performers, with an early prediction of the EA PPI and Fantasy Premier League bonus points…

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

    Isn't Chico still a rotation threat, or do you think Fergie will play him almost every game?

          I see the season separated into chunks. The 1st chunk has gone. The 2nd chunk is now until the second wildcard and the 3rd is til the end of the season. So no matter if your team is good you have to adapt it to the next 10 fixtures in my opinion.

    Suarez? To keep or not to keep?

    Is it worth swapping him out for the next 3-6 game weeks? QPR looks the most favourable fixture (Although L'Pool can't score at home) and then 5 and 6 are away again.

    Bentdner in (Already have Aguero and RvP) and then I can afford to get rid of Moses for maybe Drenthe for Everton's good run.

      if i didn't have more pressing changes i would be seriously considering getting rid of saurez - the worries over his shots to goals conversions are well-founded, at 9.5 he really needs to be doing better

      bendtner still doesn't convince me and neither does drenthe - despite sunderland and everton both having favourable fixtures both sides are poor imo - the only player i would consider having from either side would be larsson despite his annoying habit of picking up yellow cards

        Agree on LArsson but have you noticed how much more he seems to be putting into games this season? I think this explains the sudden increase in bookings but also the increased consistency from him. He's always had talent and a wicked delivery but he used to just drift into and out of EVERY game. Not so this year, he looks a real player now altho the yellows are a pita

            Agree with you. From 6 to 6.5 mill I reckon its him and Brunt, purely for their consistency and quality. Others are impressing me too but I dont quite trust them....alth Allen at Swansea is starting to change my mind. He looks a real player.

      Suarez is a good player but he does so much running around setting up chances for players that cant seem to finish that its really hurting his own prospects - most of the chances I see him have he has to make himself.....
      When at Ajax he player more as an out and out front man so he had way more chances (and his finishing was very good) Thats my assessment anyway....
      Quite frankly Carroll, Downing and Henderson look like a huge waste of money at the moment so
      I'm not touching Suarez again until Gerrard is fit and playing every week, he'll supply the bullets for Suarez

        They've already changed it once. Plus the press association gave it to Bale too. Be surprised if they changed it now

      Found it odd Bale was ever credited with it frankly. May I call you frankly?

        Need to do that move to fund the other two, and by all accounts Ade had another shocker today. Fed up with him, want him out of my team.

    Anybody else actually seem to do better without a WC?

    2 seasons in a row whenever I use it, I have a downward spiral for a few weeks and then get back on track eventually with 1-2 transfers a week and planning.

      That just proves how much luck is involved in this game
      With all the planning in the world you can never account for just how quickly things can change in 2-3 gameweeks. I think this is why wholesale changes with a wildcard can really bite you in the ass...
      Its more important to get your captain right and have the correct nucleus of 6-7 'keepers' I reckon
      Actually 'having' a wildcard gives you options that have more possibility to hinder than help.....

      It was on target and going in so I think they forgive the defender for trying to keep it out

      It was listed first as an of hybrid league and already changed to A Bale goal

      Sess. His fixtures are solid and he's clearly got ability to score points. Drenthe's had a few moments of brilliance but he's not nailed-on and he's an unknown quantity. I'm looking to do that transfer myself.
