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.

    I have the funds to replace Adebayor with Rooney. Advisable?

          Every week Adebayor scores, everyone says he's essential.

          Every week he doesn't, people say he isn't.

          I guess we all know which it is this week. At least it's easy enough to remember.

      The issue is if Hernandez returns will Rooney go back deep. I would wait a gameweek myself.

        yeah that's giving me a few concerns alrite. However, i dont think the problem is Rooney going deep, the problem is the mentality shifting to defence again which i cant see happening

          Surely by that logic if hernandez is playing infront of rooney and United are playing more attacking minded then Hernandez is the best option he has the mentality and the provision

        Rooney wasn't pushed deep because of Javier's injury - so his return has zero effect on Roon's positioning.

        Injuries to Cleverly, Anderson, Fletcher pushed Roon into midfield. The Carrick/Jones combo seems to be workable, so I'd expect it to largely remain until injuries lessen.

    repost

    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

      Like the Ba (C) - keeping the faith myself.

      As for Chicarito, wish I was more convinced he'll start. Your best 'assessing' him as you say. He could be a great differential for you but fitness is the key.

      Not tempted to play Westwood? 😉

        RVP away at Villa is tempting, but are Song and Arteta out? Big minus if so. Don't fancy any Spurs or Chelsea players, maybe VDV. Angel Rangel is a big miss and Swansea are appalling away from home. I might bottle it, but for now i'm 100 % 😉

    After Rooney scored after 52 seconds did anyone else have hopes that if he scored every 52 seconds he would have scored 288 points x 2 as (c) 576 points + 3 (6) probable bonus points 582 points..............sadly he didn't quite live up to me expectations...................
