The “Big Numbers” brings a new approach to our post-match coverage for our members, isolating the key player and team stats from the weekend action, whilst still offering our speculative punt at the FPL bonus points.

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

      The MP in question paid for the fancy dress, according to the Mail. Then lied about it.

      Dressing up as a racist mass murderer is a pretty sick thing to do, especially on the continent, in my opinion. If you're a public figure, it's beyond stupid.

    Mad to be considering doing Ba > Sturridge tonight? Was gonna do it after this upcoming gameweek, but Studge is set to rise and I'd have to sacrifice another player to make way for him.

    I know Ba has (SWA) and Sturridge (tot) but I think both have high likelihood of scoring, and like I said I'd rather not get rid of another player to make way for Sturridge!

      Really well balanced team. Stick... the only downside is too much coverage in a tricky match (TOT-CHE) but it's hardly worth taking them out you'd think. Not unless you want to punt on Aguero perhaps.

      QPR were average today and lacked quality uptop, very direct and very predictable. Taarabt done well and added an edge to them. Everton also lack quality uptop and Drenthe changed the game for them.

      I think Sunderland will cope better from two away games in a row than Swansea, so Brown.

      Not for me, would you captain him over RVP even if you got him? If not I definitely think there is better value in defence, and Nani is a good option too because in contrast to in attack the other popular midfielders are not firing at all cylinders

        This.

        Rooney would be a good buy if I'd hand him the armband but the truth of it is... I just won't so I'll spread my finances on other stallions.

      Good point it does introduce some uncertainty, but exactly how does it affect his role?
      I understand United play 4-4-Rooney-Hernandez with Hernandez present, but are more likely to go 4-3-3 in his absence. Do you fear Rooney will be more involved in creating than scoring goals?

        welbeck does more to aid rooney and comes deeper much more than hernandez does

    Ok so tue 7:30pm deadline will we know the Lineups before we make our transfers? Could effect my decision who I take out have .4 to do Wilkinson-Evans or Raylor-Evans would leave me with .2 to do Brunt- Drenthe the game after for the double gameweek only thing I'm worried about are the falls/rises of these players before the deadline

      Not really. Only for the two games on Tuesday (WOL-NOR and BLA-BOL).

      Will see if O'Hara is back from injury for example, but the rest is a non-event tbh.

    Vorm (Al-Habsi)

    Kompany, Jose Enrique, Raylor (Brown, Assou-Ekotto)

    Silva, Mata, Nani, Walters (Moses)

    RvP, Ba, Yakubu

    1 ft. .9 in the bank

    A) Kompany > Vermaelen
    B) Brown > Hibbert/Jags
    C) Save transfer?

    Raylor is hurting, so I'm looking at Brown or Ekotto coming off the bench.

    Kompany has a better fixture than Verm..

    Thoughts? Please! 🙂

    Considering taking Walters out of my team. Etherington seems to have become the focal point again. But I also have Joe Allen in there, who I can't see doing much.

      I was considering too, but isn't Walters still on pens? Who would you prefer at that price? Or would you downgrade?
