With this afternoon’s clash at Anfield completing the gameweek, 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 (FPL) bonus points…
53 pre-bonus with expected 11 bps is not bad at all. 🙂

My team:
Vorm (Krul)
Brown Wilkinson Kompany (Simpson, Evans)
VDV Lampard Ramsey Silva (N.Dyer)
Sturridge RVP Adebayor
My trade plans:
VDV->Bale: Tired of the dodgy "will he?won't he play" scenario
Lampard->A.Young if Lamps gets that 5th yellow, just fancy Young vs his old club!
I'm concerned over Ramsey and RVP not playing after Wenger stating that he will rotate soon, and then singling out RVP, Ramsey and Walcott.
Benayoun, Diaby and Arshavin are all fit to name a few.....Open ControlsNot really sold on Bale or A.Young. But that just could be me.
Open ControlsI was the same with Bale, but i can't argue with his recent form!
Too many possible doubts in my team this week, i need to eliminate the more-likely non-starters and maybe even ship Evans out to give myself a full bench of playing players....Open Controls
I am thinking of doing a series on the ffs GW bandwagons and compiling some sort of history which goes back 4 or 5 game weeks. It could be useful to see if past bandwagons on here were useful or not, and it may show up some trends.
I seem to remember a big Drenthe/Bentner bandwagon a few weeks back. And also a Walters bandwagon somewhere too.
Can you guys help by telling me the bandwagons of last week and also the week before.
This weeks one appears to be Ade & BaleOpen Controls
I know a few (myself included) are hopping onto the Sheep.
Open ControlsDEM ones that go BA! BA!
Open Controls
Well Yakubu was hot, suprisingly just after the article where he was mentioned...helguson and jones was there too.
Some wagons I didn't jump in; petrov, ramsey, sessegnon
Some that I regret jumping in; drenthe (insted of walters), bendy (two weeks was enough)Open ControlsI am after the major bandwagon where there are supposed must haves for the week. The names that are bandied about the most. Ba is up there this week but no where near as much as Ade and Bale. Maybe I will include him as the week progresses. Yakubu isn't really on peoples radar
Open Controls
That would be pretty interesting. As long as it's not just a list of failed bandwagons! The Drenthe Bandwagon was only 2 GWs ago, he's played 1 and missed 1, but still got some good fixtures coming up. I'm not sure why you'd jump ship just yet.
Open Controls
Really want to get off the Drenthe wagon, so annoyed with the no show this weeked. You reckon he's worth keeping?
Open ControlsWhat's your alternative? If he starts next week I think you'll regret not having him.
Open Controls
No I will be as objective as possible and will only list them in popularity for the given week
Open Controls
Interesting idea, any idea when you would post this? Be good to set a time, as the throughput on the forum makes it likely your 'review' won't be read by many
Open Controls
So, who's left in the PP Cup? I somehow scrambled through with 37 points (pre BP)....
Open Controls
Me 🙂
Open ControlsDon't fancy getting drawn against you - our match ups (I reckon) would be:
Me: Westwood, Simpson, Vermalen, Sinclair, Aguero
You: Vorm, P Jones, Enrique, Mata, Chico
Could be pretty close!!Open ControlsAhh sheet, you'd have the fixtures in that one.
Probably won't draw you anyway, likely to be a 'lurker' 😕Open Controls
Wow you're looking at 80+ this week!!! 😯
Nice!!! 😀Open Controls
i got 31pts and pretty sure i am through 🙂
Open Controls
unlikely, I'm through, will score approx 50-51 but will lose by a couple I think depending on bonus points
Open Controls
Would you guys rather have:
1) Ade, Ba, and Sess/Sinclair
Or
2) Sturridge, Ba and Bale
I wanna beat the price rises so I want to do it soon...Open Controls
which teams have good fixtures between gw 16-20???
manu,chelsea are obvious ones.......wanna know of teams out of top 6-manc,prev. 2,tot,ars,liverpol.....Open ControlsI for one have never really got the Drenthe, Bendtner or Moses bandwagons on this site?!
Ward for Wolves has done more than them, yet he's never had a bandwagon....?!!Open Controls
I think he had a one week bandwagon, the round Fletcher was injured and Ward started as a striker (and then did nothing)?
Open Controlsah yes! i remember that now!
Moses has been talked about on here since pre-season.....roughly 17 weeks ago, and he still hasn't done a thing.
Bendtner is brilliant (in his own mind)!Open Controls
Moses is an alright player, playing quite high up the pitch, but for a poor team.
Bendtner is a lone striker, in a decent team, that isn't playing that well.
And Drenthe is in an alright team, that are starting to pick up on form, Rolls Royston is still rolling in my eyes!Open ControlsI've still kept Ward from GW 1. Wolves have got decent fixtures coming up, and Ward played in the midfield last week, so I think he might have the chance to do well!
Open Controls
Who are the 6 must-have players at the moment for the next few weeks?
Open ControlsThere is no such thing as a "must-have".
Open Controls
what the story with jones and drente , anyone know?
Open ControlsIt's a secret.
Open Controls
These trades sound good;
?
VDV-->Bale
Lampard-->A.Young
Evans-->Vermaelen
8 point hit.....hmmmmm hit that button?!Open Controls
Looking for options to upgrade Evans.. 6.0mil to spend for which one?
A: Enrique
B: Jagielka
C: Walker
D: Riise
E: SantosOpen ControlsThank you all for comments. Looking at CS records and fixture, I'm now considering Enrique as my #1 target. Walker and BAE are interesting but I would like to keep quota of 3 for Spurs attackers.

Team this week:
Vorm

Any areas for improvement?Open Controls
Hello, anybody know bonus points for

thank you very much for help.Open Controls
Is it wise to do the Aguero -> Ba transfer this week with Aguero playing Norwich at home?
Open Controls
Once again, Baines or Jagielka over the next 8 weeks? Do you think Baines will outscore Jag by so much that it will justify the 2.5 extra?
Open ControlsTorres sold himself from his FPL team.
Open ControlsHe had made himself captain but not starting was the final straw.
Open Controls
Don't do it to yourself. I've sworn to never, ever, ever, ever, ever get that bugger back into my team. Over the past two seasons I've brought him in so many times and then held onto him for a massive run of 1 or 2 pointers as 'he's bound to come good soon'. Never again. Cut him loose and get yourself a shiny Hernandez.
Open Controls
I only brought him in for this gw. Everybody or virtually everybody capt RVP. If only he'd started it could have been oh so sweet.
Open Controls
If only he'd started*
*and wasn't the worst player in the world.
Sorry Katie, you're usually spot on, but you're way off with this one. Bin bin bin.Open Controls

Originally i wanted to get brunt out for the likes of sess/sinclair. Can I hold out on transfers this week and get an extra for next? Would like to bring in ben afra after chelsea anyways.
Suggestions to my team?Open ControlsAnyone know when VDV is back?
This hamstring business goes on every season!Open Controls
I presume next week he is back. No other expensive mid is tempting atm. I will hold on, especially as my league leader, among the others already sold him.
Open ControlsGood thinking!
Had him and Lamps in my team at the weekend and they gave me 1 point in return for my near 22 million investment!Open Controls
Morning lads.
Brunt replacement? I am thinking O Hara, nice stats and nice fixtures. Also rotates with Dyer. Up to 6m is my budget.Open ControlsOptions:
O'hara plays SUN mun STO NOR
Drenthe plays STO ars NOR SWA
HBA plays CHE nor SWA WBA
Sess plays wol BLA tot qpr
I think those are your options. HBA seems like he'd rotate with Dyer, O'Hara has decentish fixtures, but I don't rate Wolves, and Everton have great fixtures up to the DGW.Open ControlsThanks, but that injury to Drente is making me to think twice. O Hara has wonderful stats and in 4 5 1, which is more likely, now when Doyle was dropped he will flourish. I am not convinced on Drente still. Hmmm....
HBA is just back from injury, still a risk and I already had Sess this season, Not feeling happy to bring him again.Open Controls
Nani Nani Nani.... what to do with Mr Nani. His next 9 fixture are just great, but he's not bringing home the bacon for 10m. Any other owners out there? What are your plans?
Open ControlsI shipped him out last week for Lampard!
Now considering A.Young just for something different, plus he's playing his old club...Open ControlsWell that's a good shout, you've got to expect one or both to score some good points all the way up to new year now. Just need to the team in general to find some form :/ Maybe hanging on to Nani could turn into one hell of a differential.
Open Controls
Got rid last week as part of a 4 pointer, and it worked out lovely. I'd be getting rid of him if I were you.

Looking forward to this week. Is the team looking right?!

Nervous waiting for BPs.. Currently tied with opponent of PP Cup..
Open Controls
haha, are you my opponent?
Open Controls
that's it. I'm finally giving up on trying to play the fixtures and im going to just play my better players. I have it wrong every week so far -and it is SO frustrating!
Few weeks back -benched Enrique (eve) and missed his 11 points
Last week - played Moses (BLA) over Sturridge (LIV)
This week - played Wilkinson (BLA) over Kompany (liv) (+finally sold Moses as he gets his 1st non 2 pointer of the season)Open ControlsForm is temporary class is permanent!!!! bear that in mind with every player you choose and every transfer you make the wheels soon fall off bandwagons.
Open ControlsI benched Enrique for that match too, I then had Brown lose his CS in the first 5 minutes, wounder
Open Controlsthe thing is, i'd be less annoyed if my cheaper players get a decent points haul i think. It's having one of your bigger players sitting on your bench winking at you that really hurts
nice picture of Jimmy B by the way! went on Saturday. gut wrenchingOpen Controls
