With just the small matter of Chelsea-Man City at the Bridge tomorrow evening left this gameweek, those Members still yet to soak up all the stats uploaded shortly after the final whistle at the Britannia this evening should head over to our Members area….

All the Opta data and ICT Index scores from the nine games so far are in and, as usual, we now offer our Sunday evening match-by-match breakdown of the standout performers, with an early prediction of the EA PPI and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bonus points…

    Re-post, help please guys

    Should I take a 4 point hit for this:

    Ramsey—->Nani
    Aguero—–>sturridge

    Currently have no Chelsea and only Jones for Manu cover, have RVP and Silva for Arsenal and City.
    Can't get Ba due to three toons (bloody ferg!)

    RVP not getting the 3 or 2 would be a bit of dose, was really hoping with that winner that he would get the 2 or 3, oh well, almost all of us lose out! With those projected points I would be on 69 less 8 for my hit and Silva and Sturridge to come, not bad.

        There are other factors than just goals.

        Dempsey scored the only goal in a 1-0 win and didn't get ANY bonus. At least RVP will get some if not all of them.

          i know there are other factors, i was a bit quick to question why he wouldn't get his 3 bp's there actually, just because i have him as captain and was hasty to question why i suppose haha. he should get at least two though i would of thought.

    FFS bandwagons of the week. REVIEW

    GW14: Adebayor, Bale, Baines
    GW15: Nani, Ba, Jones

    It seems the Baines bandwagon of GW14 seems to be a bad one to have gotten onto with returns of 2 and 2. The others are still justified although people bringing in Jones would have been somewhat disapointed with his return.

    Of the minor bandwagons B Arfa, Vermaelin, and the Yak have not produced but time may still offer the chance of returns

      Nah don't do that. Aguero is part of the rotation with Balotelli and Dzeko and they hardly ever play 90 mins and always get the hook if they haven't scored after an hour. Rooney plays 90 mins every week, United play through him the way City do with Silva and his fixtures are better than Sergio's. Rooney all day long.

      That is a dilemma! Spurs @ home are deadly aswell though so it's a tough one. There is no right answer until Monday morning next week.

      I would pick Bale. He will terrorise O'Shea and Brown. Those 2 are sh1t

        No seriously, go with Spurs or Chelsea - Wigan are poor and could be an 0-4 like Arsenal a few weeks ago. Otherwise, take a punt on Ba.

      Man City are the best side in the league, so fixtures shouldn't be an issue. (ARS, STO).

      Rotation - yes, Christmas, playing 2 games in space of 3 days, who knows as they have a quality squad.

            To be honest i'd probably do it. But it is hard considering Rooney just hit form and got 2 after a long time of nothing. If you asked last week or a couple weeks ago it'd be yeah for sure. However, I have seen a few people say that Hennessey's bad keeping was partly responsible for Rooney's double. Plus I think Nani + Ade will bring more points than Rooney + Brunt. So if it is 2 frees I'd do it. I reckon the fwd line you will have is also the ideal fwd line atm.

          I have Rooney and don't see the point of selling him for Nani really.

          Nani is a lot more likely to get dropped/rested than the Roonster and Rooney is on free kicks and pens.

          If you have Rooney I'd just keep him and forget about Nani really. That's what I'm doing anyway.

        Barfa could return to the team purely because Newcastle can't really afford 2 out and out strikers. Their defense is weak and tiote is coming back. A return to 4-4-1-1 is imminent IMO

      I do. Man United need both playing well and they can both score big but I think Rooney can score more consistently.
