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.

    Sick of having Eagles in my team.

    Points have been 2-2-2-2-1 since I got him.

    At least I´ve earned a modest 0.1 on him if I sell now (up from 5.5 to 5.7) 😉

      Exactly the same situation and ready to sell, but will not ditch him until the massive Blackburn game on Tuesday. WILL be goals there as both sides can't defend. You get the teamsheets before the deadline so you can know for sure if he's playing - sell if he's not.

        Do you guys think Simpson is a more secure option than R. Taylor now?

        I see the latter could be back for WBA. But with Santon and SImpson both playing against Swansea (and keeping a CS) do you think R. Taylor could be sidelined for a while?

        Bought R. Taylor at 4.1. and would have to sell at 4.7 now.

      All depends on the injuries.

      May well be VDV, with Defoe/Pavlyuchenko up top. Either that or Pienaar may get some minutes.

      If Defoe, Lennon and Bale are all out, then we may need the likes of Rose/Townsend as cover.

      Just debating getting in Evans myself for Brown. He's 71% for a rise on Fiso so unlikely to rise today.
      Still an annoying 4:1 defender rotation though. My only concern is the MON affect on SUN and potential cs.
      Still, Man U have good chances of cs away from OT. Coupled with Enrique, that's a handy cheap defensive pairing right there that you could put out each week. 🙂

    Is Simpson is a more secure option than R. Taylor now?

    I see R. Taylor could be back for the WBA game. Meanwhile, Santon and SImpson kept a CS against Swansea.

    Bought R. Taylor at 4.1. and would have to sell at 4.7 now.

    • 15 Years
    14 years, 1 month ago

    Given/ Ruddy
    S Taylor, R Taylor, N Taylor, Ward, Wilkinson
    Silva Nani Mata Sess (Ferguson)
    Roon RVP Yak

    1.3m in bank.
    The back line is abysmal.

    A) S Taylor - Enrique and wait out for the wild card to sort out the rest. Means I would play Enrique Ward and Rtaylor/Ntaylor

    or

    B) S Taylor and R taylor - Jones and Tierney (4pt) Playing Jones Tierney and Ward?

    C) Any better ideas

    ok folks here is my team for midweek

    Vorm

    Brown, Jones, Raylor

    Silva, Nani, VdV, Bale

    Yak, RvP, Ba (c)

    Subs Westwood, Tiote, BAE, McAuley

    I have 1 FT and 0.7 in bank

    I was planning to save transfer this week and do Bale- any 5.3 or less mid (can rotate with Tiote until wc) and Yak- Hernandez ready for Wigan and Blackburn at home (and it gives me this GW to asses Hernandez) Thoughts? I know taking Bale out may seem odd, but my main rival has 5 players the same as me, so I need to find the differential

          Can't you switch to 4 at the back?

            that involves dropping either Bale or Drenthe and I think Drenthe could do a job against swansea.
