Gareth Bale saves the gameweek, as Tottenham’s 2-0 win draws things to a close. Time for us to round things up, rummaging through the Opta data to pick out the statistics that matter, taking a punt at the Fantasy Premier League bonus points along the way…
Ooh. First. Is there where I take my clothes off and run around the block screaming in delight??

Repost for the new post. Anyone know the latest on Micah Richards? (I’m also contemplating Silva out for Mata. Madness? (Could do Nani for Mata too..) I could do with a good differential.)
Open Controls
So you want to get Mata in? Silva is a better better then, he's more consistent than Nani points wise, but Nani is far more likely to deliver a 15+ points haul than Silva is.
Open Controls
Keep Silva, too late for Nani and Mata will never post as consistently as Silva.
Open Controls
ok I was thinking about this. It is actually possible to lose points on transfer. For example the guy who was leading my ML swapped Warnock out for Jones. Now in the long-run that's a good move (although I already have Jones so he's made nothing on me and paid more for the privilege). But this week Jones got 0 points whilst Warnock got 6, so technically he's lost 6 points on that transfer, if you see what I'm saying. My double free use of Yak - Sturridge (gave me nowt as they both got 2) and VdV - Valencia on the other hand made me close 2 10 points (maybe exactly 10 after BAPS). Just a thought.

What an insight!

Yes i get ya - I'm trying to gain on the leaders after a horrible start to the season when they had Rooney as captain and Young and i had to get in Rooney to ensure i didnt fall further behind and his goals dried up as soon as but it worked and i gradually made ground up as they took points hits, last week i hadnt Nani when he got his big haul and I all the one's above me had him so I took the gamble and transferred Nani in at 10.2 and to fund it I sold .... Bale

Evans out for Gallas or Hibbert with the DGW in mind? 4.8 is all I can afford.
Open Controls
4 bp for me . After the start of the week I'll happily take that. 49 for me if true... Minor yahoo a thon !
Open ControlsNot a member, but hoping for BPs from Raylor, Baines and Adebayor to take me from 44 to 50.

Already have Jagielka, Drenthe, Ade and Bale for the DGW.
Is Evans > Gallas worth a transfer?Open Controls
Can you afford a nailed on Spurs defender, i.e Walker or BAE? Not much point getting someone for the DGW if they might not play both games.
Open ControlsNo, not at the moment 0.3 mil in the bank so Evans > Gallas would leave me with 0.
I'll probably stick with Evans until he's fit as my other defs are Vermaelen, Enrique, Jagielka and Simpson.Open ControlsI'm thinking the same. At least Gallas' price is unlikely to rise immediately so we might get some team news from 'Arry
Open Controls
Sorry Repost..
Im thinking ahead to next week already…
Not sure whether to keep a transfer or do Ba to Sturridge (I will want Ade the week after)??

I seem to be in same boat as many above posters, need a replacement def –
have vermaelen, jones(?), evans(?), naylor(?), wilkinson(?)
If thought gallas would get enough gametime would do evans to gallas, but not sure.
wilkinson to shotton? surely another risk, need a nailed on def so don’t play 10 again?
Thoughts?Open Controls
Jones will play next week, it was just an illness. I reckon Naylor will be okay as well, but at home to Spurs isn't idea.
Gallas should be alright but best to wait and see when King plays and Kaboul is fit...Shotton meanwhile looks very solid due to his versatlity.Open ControlsAh Jones was illness? thought it was still cheek...
Thanks for decent answer 🙂Open Controls
reckon gallas has played the last 5 or so matches the full 90 so he should be nailed on. can he do a double g/week?? not sure..
here's my issue

Ba > Ade
not sure about dumping silva

Could someone please just verify for me hat i get simpson coming in for Jones please, team linked.
Just not sure whether jones stays as zero and get tiote coming in for 2 points, cheers.Open Controls
Yep, you have to have 3 defenders playing, so Simpson will indeed come in for Jones.

Open Controlscheers lads, i thought so but just couldn't be sure lol, wont be making that mistake again, thanks lads.

Why are so many people getting Ba in? Baffled? What time do prices change? Waiting for Ba to rise so I can sell him and afford to get Adebayor.
Open ControlsStrange, maybe a lot of people don't realise he's going to the ACON soon. I'm giving him the Liverpool away game as I've already used this weeks transfer and then will probably swap him out for Sturridge.
Open Controls
What's the best Ba replacement then? Surely with Liv and Man U then ACON looming it's time to ship.

Can't decide who I should ship out for Shotton? --- Evans or Wilkinson
anyone?Open Controlsagree. having two budget stoke defenders is not healthy
Open Controls
My team is:
Westwood / Hennessey
Hibbert / Jones / Enrique / BAE / Evans
VDV / Bale / Nani / Drenthe / Etherington
RVP / Sturridge / Ba
I’m going to use my FT to take Ba out. But not sure who to take in? I have three TOT players so it can’t be Ade. ATM I think that Morrison is the best option (FUL, qpr, wba, CHE, WC time), or maybe even Saha (wba, BOL AND tot, avl, BLA, WC time). Who do you think is the best forward for me until gw23?Open Controlswill BAE increase tonight?
is it just me or did he increase 2% the last hourOpen Controls
61 points before bonus points and a 2 point captain...most of my rival got around 30 points...AND Shity, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal all dropped points.....really can't complain 🙂
Open ControlsPosted this on last thread before new post and would like a few more options lads.
Bale is single handedly knocking me down the mini leagues over the last month. Time to stop it and jump on board. I have 2FT and 2.9M in bank. He has to come in now.
Given Vorm
BAE Simpson Evans Jones Enrique
Drenthe(0) Walters(-0.4) Silva(-0.4) Nani (-0.3) Dyer (-0.1)
RVP Ade Ba
In bracket is how much i lose on each mid. How to get Bale? Losing Silva is not happening.
1 – Walters —> Bale
2 – Evans + Drenthe —–> Shotton + Bale
3 – Given + Drenthe —-> Sorensen/Lindegaard/Ruddy + Bale
4 – Ba + Dyer —–> Morison + Bale
5 – any other wayOpen Controls4 for me Morison gets good definite game time with only a 0.1 loss on a non performing Dyer.

Hi all,
Pretty shocking gw, only saved by bale today!
