With the White Hart Lane encounter concluding gameweek 17, our members can now frolic in the figures that matter. The “Big Numbers” extracts the key stats, whilst going on to give our punt at the gameweek’s bonus point awards…
I'll only say it once. Robert Huth. Starting again and can get goals and assists. Two home games coming up too.
Open Controls
Ya, please don't say it another time, you'll crack me up again.
Open Controls
Well you are not the first one. I mentioned him earlier this week
Open Controls
Who to captain?
Rooney v Wigan
RVP V Wolves
both at homeOpen Controls
That's my dilemma as well.
I think I'll go for RVP, as my strongest competitors have him as well - and they're gonna captain him.Open Controls
has to be Rooney or you may as well have stuck with the likes of Adebayor/Sturridge/Nani etc.
i.e people you downgraded in order to get Rooney inOpen ControlsI have had Rooney & RVP from the start.
This is a tough one.Open Controls
Rvp will start up front but Rooney may not. No brainer imo.
Open Controls
ok folks help me out here
Team as it stands
Vorm (Westwood)
BAE, Brown, Jones
Bale, Silva, VdV, Nani (c)
Ba, RvP, Yak
0.7 in bank 2 frees, what to do?
a) VdV/Silva ➡ Surman and Yak ➡ Rooney
b) VdV/Silva ➡ Valencia and Yak ➡ Sturridge
am leaning towards b on the basis of I avoid having 2 cheap mids and I have cash free to get Silva/VdV back for DGW or with wcOpen Controls
why would you consider selling Silva? Is you crazy?
Surman has scored one goal. He's a knee-jerk fantasy.
Dump VDV. Consider Ade for the DGW and also you'll need to replace Ba soon.Open Controlswhy, my main rival is ahead of me and has 6 players the same (7 if i get Studge) he doesn't have VdV but he does have Silva (oh and he has Ade, so if get Ade we'll have the same strikeforce, you're not gonna beat someone by picking the same team as them. Silva is consistent but less likely to deliver a big haul than Rafa.
Open ControlsThe whole point of a differential is to catch up. But if you forsake the best players and take a huge gamble you're more likely to fall even further behind. VDV is not fully fit and not on form. He's not a differential, he's a liability. Match your rival in the obvious positions, RVP, Silva, etc and then take a punt in positions that you feel he's weakest.
Open Controlshmm am thinking maybe Balotelli instead of Studge, then Ba - Studge in GW19. (whoch was my original plan. The basics are if I go VdV- Valencia I have 8.4 million to replace Yakubu with.
Open Controls
Rooney to rise tonight? CTC says yes, but Total FPL says no. Which is more accurate?
Open Controls
yes,,,,i use FISO. they have him at +104% they seem to be most accurate.

Anyone else suspicious of Breitner picking up the ball with Bayern Munchen against Basel in the CL draw?

If Jones is injured, does Jones > BAE/Shotton and Vdv > Nani sound good? Other option is just Jones > Evans
Open Controlssee my post a couple of pages back. Might be out for only 1 or 2 games, if so he's worth keeping.
Open ControlsThanks 🙂 that's true, but I'm just curious about what would be the best way forward if hypothetically he was ill
Open Controlsif you have 2 free than the first 2 could work (though if you can do Jones - Evans and VdV - Nani even better. If you have 1 maybe look at something else (VdV - Valencia perhaps?)

RE POST
Anyone think that Wilkenson will drop tonight?? Sitting at -96% on fiso. Traget NTI – 5322 he is at -5097 todays net transfers – 470. According to FISO he needs 225 net transfers out to fall.
I really need one more day so that i can get a grasp on Jones’ situation.
Any advice would be apprieciated!!!!Open Controls
Close either way. Slightly more trades needed on TFPL.
Open Controls
how important is a 0.1 drop on wilkinson to you ? if its important then dont take the risk
Jones may miss boxing day but should at least be back the week afterOpen ControlsIf i drop wilko to evans then i cant pick up ADE in GW 19.
my initial plan was to:
GW 18 - Wilko to Shotton
GW 19 - Ba to ADE
GW 20 - Mata - Bale for DGW
Now with jones out, i want united D cover. Might have to sub Wilko to evans. which means i cannot bring in ADE without droping Mata in GW19Open Controls
Anyone here have any idea how to jailbreak an iphone?
I know its on google but just seeing if anyone has experience and id like to see if its safe enough, thanks 😀Open Controls
i have done it and i followed youtube videos and it worked
its quite complicated and you will need someone to walk it thru with you
i cba (and most other people on here will also cba) to look it up themselves and then tell you in a step by step process
the programe you might need is redsn0w or something like thatOpen Controls
I have, I just followed the Youtube video, a lot of trial and error. I never had any issues, it was totally safe. It does take up a lot of room and can slow your iphone down. I have not Jailbroken since I updated to 5.01 though...I do plan to in the future though...

Get rid of Huth or Bosingwa for my Sun Dream Team (getting Jones in as the injury doesnt seem too bad)
Open ControlsJose Bosingwa. Get that eyebrow outa there.

Harry Redknapp – The man or the myth? By SOM
http://footballorbust.wordpress.com/2011/12/22/547/Open Controls
Jermaine Defoe (forty four different times) 😆 😆
Just regarding tonight's game, I think Redknapp got the substitution at half time badly wrong. Fair enough VDV got injured, apparently, but there was no need to change the shape. Kranjcar would have been virtually a like for like substitution, but 'Arry opted for Pav, and so had to change formation. In his post-match interview he was bemoaning VDV's injury, claiming it forced the formation change, when it didn't need to.
Simply, Modric is their best player, he should always be played in his best position. In the second half he clearly wasn't playing in his preferred position, and Spurs suffered because of it.Open Controls
Great article, I've never really liked the man tbh. I think he would be mad to leave Spurs for England though, stuck with a set of players and unable to change them I don't think he'd do that well and would only damage his reputation. Plus the job's a poisoned chalice the fans and the media won't be happy until they win something and that's never going to happen.
Open Controls
Best £4m defender???
Shotton,McAuley,Caulker or Gabbidon????Open Controlsi'd favour Shotton at the moment
Open Controls
Bonus points predictions for:
Ba
Nani
RVP
Kompany
Drenthe
AdeOpen Controls
To those asking about whether Wilkinson will drop tonight, he won't. Today he has average 22 transfers out an hour and their is 3 hours left til price changes. He needs 200 NTO to drop and that ain't going to happen.
Open Controls
cheers!
any idea when he may play again though? would like to retain him for upcoming favorable fixtures (Aston Villa-h, Wigan-h, Blackburn-a)
but if a drop will soon happen, or he's still out, then need to transfer him outOpen ControlsWell he will fall. They fall sometimes and on 70%. Its not that accurate.
Open Controls
Which ONE to bench out of Walters (AVL), Brown(EVE) and Kompany(wba)?
Open Controls
Definitely not Walters. Toss up between the other two, I tend to favour playing the more expensive player in general plus Komp has been getting some attacking points, though Sunderland maybe have a better CS chance being at home and with Odemwingie hitting form.
Open Controls
which of Wilkinson or Simpson out for Caulker in?
gk/defence looks like this currently: Krul, Cerny; Kompany, Enrique, Smalling, Simpson, WilkinsonOpen Controls
Wayne Rooney's last 2 tweets. Very subtle.
Anyone know when the premier league started. What year.
Thx. Looks like 1992. Man utd. Arsenal. Chelsea. Blackburn only 4 teams won it. Wow. I thought liverpool had won it ?Open ControlsIt was good. I must be tired though because I was just about to tweet about how stupid he is not knowing who'd won it etc
Open Controls
He was supposed to have his scan today, but no news as far as I know as to the outcome.
Open Controls
Ok guys, so I have done VDV > Nani.
Team now is
Vorm (Ruddy)
Enrique, Jones, Simpson (Gabbidon, Ward)
Silva, Mata, Nani, Walters, (Ferguson)
Ba, Adebayor, RVP
I still have 1 free transfer and 1.0m in the bank, and plan to use that to cover the Jones injury with maybe Vermalen or Evans.
Look good?Open Controls
Vorm (Ruddy)
Jones, Walker, Santon (Gabbidon,Briggs)
Bale, Valencia, Osman, Silva (Allen)
RVP, Rooney, Sturridge
1FT 0.0 in bank
A) Silva & Jones -> Nani & Huth (4 point hit) loose 0.2 on Silva
B) Briggs -> Shotton
Thoughts on these transfers. Think I may do A if Jones is out injured but seems like madness getting rid of Silva for a hit!Open Controls
How bout Shotton?
FT > Simpson out Shotton in? He played 4 full games in a row.. OOP.. worth it? or just keep SimpsOpen ControlsI'm slightly hesitant with Shotton. There's always the chance that Wilkinson, Pennant etc. may step back in, if only temporarily. A bit like with Sorensen, Pulis never makes me feel secure owning their players as he may just drop them in a Pulis knee jerk.
*Shawcross and Walters the exceptionsOpen Controls
Apols for my laziness in not trawling through the posts, but I've just got back from work and I wondered if anyone had crunched the numbers re bonuses for tonight?
Open ControlsCheers. I caught the Terry goalline clearance. Gutted I was, as a Bale/Ade owner.
Open Controls
There was a goaline clearance if a Bale/Ade goal? Damn that racist
Open ControlsThere was. I'd stepped away from my desk to watch the last couple of minutes.
Bale fed Ade with a lovely weighted pass, Cech was beaten by the shot and Terry pulled off an outstanding piece of defending to slide in and clear. I kind of knew he'd do something noteworthy tonight.Open Controls

Cole 3 Adebayor 2 Terry/Sturridge 1Open ControlsNice one, ta. So you know what happened to DBR? I miss his rampant Beckhamism.
