With this afternoon’s clash at Anfield completing the gameweek, our Members can now soak up all the numbers from another weekendβs 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 (FPL) bonus pointsβ¦
on 52 pre-bonuses. Will hopefully get some for Ade, Komp & maybe Vorm?
Not bad considering VDV, Jones & Drenthe didn't even play.
Any suggestions for changes this week?
Vorm, Kenny
Komp, Jones, N.Taylor, Simpson, Turner
Sess, VDV, Silva, Dyer, Drenthe
Hernandez, Ade, RVPOpen Controls
I hate being the last post on the previous page π so repost haha
On 41, What BP do you reckon these guys will get Vorm, Kompany, Silva, Moses , Hernandez?
Much appreciated.Open Controls
scorers nearly always get 3, the two who didnt might get 1/2.
I cant understand why people just cant guess them for themselves (kinda obvious), instead of paying to be a member and having other people guess them for them! I don't get it πOpen ControlsYeah i hope vorm and moses get BP too. That'll be good.

Repeat post
Am i right in thinking Nani should get the assist for Man U goal yesterday? Felt sure he flicked the ball on from Rooney’s volley!
ThanksOpen Controls
what are predicted bonus points today lads please
Open Controls
I was almost 100% sure to bring in vermaelen in for de leat, however, now i noticed that jagielka might be also a good option. Thoughts?
Open Controls
I also thought of Verm and switched focus to Jags.

Evening fellow live-text refreshing heroes discovering Balotelli has decided to get sent off instead of saving your gameweek...
Awful gameweek for me on 34 points. The only bright spots were Swansea delivering the CS and Sturridge delivering a goal. It does seem like a lot of people has a bad GW though - amirite? - and TOTALFPL picks only managed 38 while I counted up our Scout Picks and I think it's below 35.
So my question is, my mid basically did bugger all and not for the first time. Will it come good or should I switch? Currently only minded to keep Silva and perhaps VDV.
Silva Nani VDV Ramsey Eagles.Open ControlsGood shout as he could be a big differential. Just can't afford to take too many risks as the rest of my mid isn't delivering. That's the same reason I haven't gone Drenthe as I can't count on them for the points yet. Are there any safer options (pricier is okay too)? Ramsey > Bale wise or folly? I'm okay with doubling up on TOT as I see VDV as second striker.

Thoughts on my team for next week.
Howard
Jones, Santos, McAuley

Absolutely solid. Would be keeping an eye out on Drenthe though.

anyone else here thinking of doin sturridge to ba b4 his price rise? seems crazy considerin
Ba
CHE nor SWA WBA bol liv MANU ----ACON----
Sturridge
new MCI wig tot FUL AVL wol -----Brilliant RUN------
Seems if you can afford to bench sturridge against MCY he is in with a better shot at points than Ba over the next 7 fixtures and does not go off to ACONOpen Controlsyet i'm tempted
Open Controlsforget it.. will just get ben arfa in next week for waste of space sessegnon and enjoy newcastle's run
Open ControlsSess was quality yesterday, give him one more gameweek at least.
Open ControlsWas he? dint see the game and ppl on here claimed he was rubbish.. i love the guy and would love to give him two more weeks.. did he come close to scorin or assistin? playin on the flanks suits him
Open Controls
The ACON starts after the second wildcard. How brilliant is Sturridge's run btw.
Open ControlsSUN nor swn.. Ba'll prob have to leave after the manu game.. or maybe after the qpr game
Open Controls
The way Ba has been playing he has a great chance of scoring v chelsea.
So far out of two of his supposed three more difficult fixtures he has got a goal in one and an assist in the other. He also got a bonus point v man city.Open Controlsworth doin Sturridge to ba this week though and wastin the transfer?

The way this season has been so far, i'm just wondering if it's really worth owning expensive defenders?
Far better free the filthy luka and invest it in Mid or For players.
Can't remember the last time i played 4 at the back.Open ControlsTerry and Vermaelen look good buys
Open Controls
Would you guys rather have:
1) Ade, Ba, and Sess/Sinclair
Or
2) Sturridge, Ba and BaleOpen Controls
Both have Ba in, its a tough choice, but while Sturridge is a better pick than Sess/Sinclair, Ade vs Bale is more difficult..
Ade will be more consistent, but Bale has a higher potential, but will give you more 2 pointers IMO. Or maybe that's just the Bale of last season..
Anyway, i'd go for 2Open Controls
Sneaked up into the top 100k for the first time pre-bonus yippee!
Saurez has had his chips though, given him four weeks whilst I shuffle the team cheapening defence to prove me otherwise and he's consistently failed to deliver. Fancied a goal against Chelsea, didn't happen, then a goal at home to a tired City, another Moses-esque two pointer..
So taking my first four point hit for Saurez/Cleverley/Tiote for Sturridge/Silva/ReoChoker. Annoyingly 0.1m short hence the Tiote hit to raise funds. Got to be done! πOpen Controls
Quick questions guys if you could please help.
To bring in Ba or Hernandez?
Also, worth getting rid of jones for vermaelen or stick with jones? was he just rested against newcastle or now in competition and rotation with others?
Help greatly appreciated.Open Controls
Stick with Jones. He wont play in CC and should start vs Villa.
Ba vs Hernandez? tough. But i am taking Ben Arfa for Drenthe if he fails next week.Open ControlsIm bringing in Ba.
But if i had the cash. I would defo be bringing in Hernandez big man.
Stick it out with Jones, he has form, and some clean sheets coming up for ManU imo.Open ControlsHiya ryan! didnt see u were on tonight, well what a fe*kin dismal week this has been, think ive survived it better than most though, hence the overall rank upwards with even 41! lol, should have 3 baps to come for ade tho as well.
Yep im bringing in hernandez, but as ive said below i think im gonna think a little more about jones to verm, it would be for a hit anyway, i just think verm is gona sky rocket in price soon as he offers so much and gets so much too, he's like vidic but for arsenal! lol.Open Controls
i reckon chicharo's fixtures are too promising not to get him in. i imagine there will be a considerable amount of rb/cb rotaton at utd now with so many options so i would advise vermaelen (scores goals at better rate than 1 in 5)
Open ControlsCheers thanks a lot lads, think im gonna go against Ba and bring in hernanio la chicarito lol.
Jones scares me for rotation, so think im gonna go verm as well even tho ive just brought jones in not long ago, may have a longer think about that one though.Open Controls
RVP -> Di Santo?
To be honest, I am absolutely sick of RVP letting me down.Open ControlsAre you serious?
Open Controls
I'm thinking the same. He's done SFA for one gw and I'm sick of it. I expect 10pts a week and nothing less. If he scores less then 15pts next week I'm getting rid!!!
Open ControlsAnd do VDV to Moses too. Moses is about to explode π
Open Controls
An amazing 27 points this gameweek, Ba top scored for me on 6 and I started him on the bench! Luckily (is this lucky?) he was subbed on thanks to VDV and Drenthe, Silva the only other player to get above 2 points this week :/
Ah well, 2 FTs to play with this week, I'm thinking Dzeko to Ade tonight before the price rise as I have 0.3 in the bank to just cover it.
Vorm/Westwood
Enrique, BAE, Wilkinson, McAuley, Simpson
VDV, Silva, Lamps, Drenthe, Pilkington
RVP, Dzeko, Ba
I mean there's nothing tragically wrong with this team, but noone performed this week, any thoughts?Open Controls
selling Dzeko pre Norwich game????????,,,doesn't Balotelli have a two game ban now??

Really turned my season around even though RSVP captain failed this week. Up to 3k after being almost last after 5 gw and score of 61 before naps. Quite happy

ThanksOpen Controls
evening gents, hope everyone is well, really sad news about gary speed, it goes without saying that it puts this shocking fpl gw into perspective.
just done suarez out, welcomed ade back into the fold before tonights price rise to give me a side that looks like:
vorm krul
brown wilko enrique jones r.taylor
silva vdv nani walters b.johnson
rvp sturridge ade (1.2 in the bank)
my last 2 transfers have been nothing short of dire (wilko 0 points - brown this week 1 point), my fpl judgement has let me down big-time recently, so i was wondering if i could get other peoples views on how i could improve this sorry lot?Open Controls
You just need a bit of luck. You've got the in-form front three, a solid midfield and at least three quality defenders.
There's a big score coming up for that side if everything clicks. (presuming VDV isn't injured, Nani, Sturridge and Silva aren't benched, Jones doesn't score an own goal and Brown doesn't get sent off). πOpen Controlscheers for the reply mate, ive wasted the last 2 weeks trying to improve my defence (ward>wilko lost 1 point - simpson>brown lost another point lol) so that was worth it lol, on paper they were rational well thought out decisions and may still work out, but im quickly learning doing well in fpl doesn't involve logic alot of the time!
Open Controls
You're in the top 750, you're obviously doing something right! I wouldn't change a lot there, wait for info on VDV but maybe just save a transfer.
Open ControlsHe/she's just made a tranny (like that one!) but agree, you've done what you wanted, be patient.
Open Controlscheers for the reply mate, i've been playing conservatively since taking a profitable points hit (8 points) a month and abit ago, if the next few weeks follow the same trend as this i may slightly alter my strategy to ensure im still in contention in all of my mini-leagues come the jan wildcard
Open Controls
Didn't notice his ranking! He's beating me. I retract any/all advice and think that your team is shite. Please make seven transfers immediately.
Open ControlsI could tell from your 'you just need a bit of luck' line π
Open Controlslol no worries mate! i completely understand how you feel, i've become increasingly competitive at this lark with my diminishing returns recently - i will take your advice under consideration about making 7 transfers! lol
Open Controls
cheers for the reply mate, i think im where i am on the basis of a few strong weeks tbh - the only trouble with being so high is that you're there to be shot at so to speak and 1 bad week can really kick your ass - i agree with your reasoning on vdv, he will be stay as long as he returns next gw
Open Controls
I'm in the same situation, I have a bunch of expensive underachievers and early-season revelations going through a hard time. I actually have 10 of the same players as you - Nani and VDV falling inti the first category and Raylor, Enrique (and Sturridge up to last GW) in the second.
Drop Wilko? STO defence improved in last match but if rotation or fixtures go sour I will.
Keep Brown? Got me a CS last GW so there is potential, I think he will get you one in three perhaps.
Should we drop Nani? I'd say yes now with MUNs game changing and rotation.
Keep Sturridge? Though immediate fixtures aren't promising he's in form so I'd keep.
Should I bring Adebayor back?Open Controlscheers for the reply mate, yea its amazing how many of the same players are in most peoples squads, it just highlights how important the differentials are in terms of improving your fpl rank.
i've just brought wilko and brown in so they are staying until the jan wildcard, imo its just a waste of a transfer bringing a df in as its too much of a gamble relying on cleansheets - in hindsight i would have used my previous 2 transfers on improving my mid/fws as there is more potential of positive points returns
im in 2 minds regarding nani - little pea is the best utd attacking coverage imo but hes at risk of rotation, rooney is nailed on but isn't returning any significant points for his price so for the moment i may just stick with nani + i want to keep sturridge, despite his difficult fixtures coming up i still think he'll do ok - this season its more about form over fixtures reallyOpen Controls
who are predicted to get united,citeh and chelski baps?
