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…
big fat quiz yet to make me laugh an hour in....
Open Controls
Needs more Russell Brand. Words I never thought I'd say.
Open Controls
Switched off.
David Walliams and Miranda Hart aren't funny at all. The thing is Noel Fielding and Russell Brand did the same thing years ago, so it's not funny anymore. What's the point if you're not going to take it seriously and answer the questions? Waste of space - could have someone else there. Their answers aren't even funny. Jon Snow doing the lyrics was hilarious, but that's it.
Rant over.Open Controls
Just googled Miranda Hart. Didn't know who she was. Found out she is really a Dyke and gets her looks from Royal relatives.
Open Controls
really considering transferring in Rooney and a 6.3 MF (possibly drenthe for bench) for Silva and Ba
Any thoughts please
vorm / westwood
enrique / jones / simpson / wilkinson / brown
silva / walters/ jarvis / nani / bale
RVP / ba / AdeOpen Controls
ok definitely sticking with plan of no hits unless necessary (i.e I have 3 injuries or more). I have a 6 point lead in my, but I just looked, my main rival has taken 1 hit all season (losing 4 points) hits have cost me 10 times that amount. I'd be cruising if it wasn't for those hits.
The moral of the story? Don't take hit unless you ABSOLUTELY have to.Open ControlsDepends how well the players you brought in for a hit scored - you could be 40 points worse off if you hadn't made them.
Open Controlswell that's true, for example the 4 point hit I took getting VdV in paid off in a big way. Meanwhile the 4 point hit I took get Ade in did not as I took him out too early to get RvP.
Open Controls
Is this really your sixth season playing FPL?
Open Controlsyup, I'm an early FPL bird.
Open ControlsAnd yet still so clueless?!
Open ControlsThis is the first time for a couple of years I've really gone all in, I've always kept my team active, but never really thought about things the way I have this year, especially when it comes to hit. Yet somehow I just don't learn.
Open Controls
I'm going out of the cup based on those bp predictions. Awesome.
Open Controls
Does anyone reckon it'll be a good move to put Tommy Sorensen in between the sticks or is Begovic likely to return as no.1 for Stoke RUFC any time soon?
Open Controls
Think I should hit 63 or there abouts - RVP capt, Welbz & Jones don't play but my mini league differentials do the business. Here's to playing the long game etc 🙂
Open Controls
Feck it, probably a mistake but moved Bale in for Silva early before Bales inevitable price rise.
My team now looks like this:
Vorm (Ruddy)
Verm - Walker - Enrique - (Simpson) - (Wilkinson)
Drenthe - Bale - Nani - Walters - (Allen)
RVP - Ade - Strurridge
Hated moving as I had him from the start, but with the double game week coming up, Bale is a must. I've 3m in the bank now so can upgrade Wilkinson soon.Open Controls
How long is Evans out for?
Open Controls
Well that serves me well for falling a sleep and keeping DVD. Now I would have been a proud Mata owner and would thought about should I keep or sell DVD before the double
Open Controls
Team for next week
Vorm,
BAE, Enrique, Brown (Naylor, Simpson)
Silva, Walters, Larsson, Nani (sinclair)
Rvp (c), ba, Ade
With no transfers made...save it for dgw with Naylor and Sinclair.out for McAuley and Bale assuming no price rises...Open Controls
Be interest to know how people would order the following:
1) Bale
2) Silva
3) Mata
4) Nani
thats the order of how much i want them in my team by the way. But its difficult choosingOpen Controls
Bale (DGW in form cheap. easy pick)
Silva, steady stream of points (if u got him at 10.5 id put him below nani)
Nani, back in form
Mata, im not convincedOpen Controls
1) Bale
2) Mata
3) Nani
4) SilvaOpen Controls
Nani- highest rate of shots on goal from the lot, playing for the best team
Bale-
Silva-boring, but consistant
Mata- good player, but not worth the price. Will not get him in unless all of the above are injured or Chelsea have a DGW.Open Controls
this
Open Controls
I do think I under rate Nani but that period where he didn't do anything for so many games scared me off him. At least with Silva you get a steady stream and feel confident in your investment. I would worry if Nani stopped scoring that he was going through another dry spell. The you have the problem of how long to wait before selling him. So I guess its
Bale
Silva
Nani
MataOpen ControlsThanx for the feedback anyway. May do Mata > Nani in the WC
Open Controls
anything on BAE's "injury" yet?
Open Controls
Anyone know why BAE was subbed off later in the match? Was he injured from that Holt elbow? Or just getting rested by Redknapp?
Open Controls
dont think it was an injury, seemed to play on ok after the elbow
Open Controls
Sorry, lost on last page...
Pretty shocking gw, only saved by bale today!
This is my front 8:
Silva bale Pilkington Shelvey Allen
RvP Rooney Ba
Thinking midfield needs upgrading, so maybe pilkington and Rooney to nani and sturridge?Open Controlsnope. Not even close to dropping.
Open Controls
Are adebayor or Roj Johnson on for bonus points? If they get the same, then my cup game is heading for a virtual coin toss. If I lose it then it is a definite conspiracy.
Open Controlsnot sure if you are lying just to get someone to correct you.
Almost hope it is a coin toss as then I will be buzzing for it and will love it if I win or will be able kick up one massive fuss if I lose.Open ControlsI want to find out when the toss is so I can fin out immediately. You may want to avoid this site and twatter after the result comes as I will be rampant.
Open Controls
No, no, that's not right, Ade will get *edited by admin* points, Johnson will surprisingly get *edited by admin* points!
Open ControlsPesky admins!!!!
Open Controls
Blimey, despite my captain being RVP today was (eventually) a decent day. Sim,pson getting 6 from 3rd on my bench was wholly undeserved but I'll take what I can get. Worried about next week though.
Considering: Ba -> Rooney, Silva -> Walters for a hit. Any thoughts?Open Controls
haha simpson coming 3rd off my bench also, stuffy but we;ll take it haha.
i wouldnt of said take silva out a week ago but he appears to be doing nothing really, sound move to fund rooney i guess, for a hit though, unsure, rooney better make up for that if you do it 🙂Open Controls
Just to Ba>Sturridge. Rooney's not really in form right now is he.
Open ControlsHow is Rooney not on form? Hes getting the most shots on target of any players in the league if he plays. And now even more nailed on since he got rested already.
Dont know if getting rid of Silva is a good idea dough. I will do it for GW 20 to get in VDV, but will probably want him back.Open Controls
The players your buying are not worth it better off with the ones you have and save the transfers
Open Controls
Had a shocker of a week, made only slightly palatable this evening by Bale (and Naylor not playing).....that said, unless lady luck fails me at the final hurdle and awards some crazy BP's I think I might just win all 3 of my head-to-head matches with an embarassing 39 points (before BP's).....t'is a funny old game 🙂
Open Controls
May get 50 and go out to a 51... Nout funny about that... Well depends on ya view point I guess lol. *crys*
Open Controls
Can someone remind me what the decider will be if points are level in the cup? ATM its looking like I'm going out by 1point via Raylor off his bench...:( If Ba gets 2 boni's I may just get level!
ThxOpen ControlsI think the higher rank will be the winner. Im level too unless hes captain Evra gets bonus or Ba for me gets any.
Open Controls+1 Thanks, well here's hoping I can spawn a draw but I fear not. Bloody Raylor.
Open Controls
Goes off overall rank i would of thought? im going out of the cup by a measly few points, ah well.
Open ControlsAt least we had a fighting chance this year spose... Last year I went out with a cracking team against a rubbish team due to the FA cancelling the games cos of a bit of snow.
Open Controls
The Man United defender page on FPL looks ridiculous! Fit players: Evra, Fryers and Rafael 😛
Open ControlsDo people reckon its certain that RVP will be rested against QPR? probably been asked before but just wondered what to do with him.
Open Controls
its not certain. nobody knows until the gameday.
Open Controlscool, have to keep an eye on it, surely he'll wanna play, can see him grovelling to wenger tp play for his record.
Open ControlsAfter today's performance surely Wenger would be mental to rest him. They need a result badly. I'd say Wengmeister was confident that he'd score at least 2 today and then give him a rest. Not so.
Open Controls
Never certain, especially considering how poor arsenal are without him.
Open Controlsyeah thats true, arsenal without him are almost like a reserve side, only useful if they're playing wigan lol.
Open Controls
Is silly to do Silva (10.2) > VDV for DGW, l already have Bale, Adebayor & Drenthe.
Open Controls
any reasoning behind the ba and ben arfa predictions? surely a typing error?
Open Controls
It might turn out the other way but Ben Arfa scored from the bench, in a fewer minutes and is also a midfielder. That, based on experience of the PPI, could see him surpass Ba's score and fetch the two.
Open ControlsHoping so. Need Ba boni's myself.
Open Controls
Vorm (TOT) (krul (liv)
Mcauley (EVE) Kompany(sun) Enrique (NEW).... (simpson (liv), BAE (swa)
Walters(WIG),Nani(BLA),Bale(swa),Sessegnon(MCI)....(tiote(liv)
RVP(QPR), Rooney(BLA), Sturridge(AVL)
Got 1.3 in the bank and have used my freebie with Evans>Mcauley.. Now considering Enrique to Jones for a 4 pt hit? Should i just leave it or what?Open ControlsI'd just leave it, not worth a hit to replace a defender who's got Newcastle at home.
Open Controls
Contemplating an 8-point hit for the DGW:
Enrique, Walters, Dyer, Ba - OUT
Gallas, Drenthe, Agustien, Adebayor - IN
Worth it?Open Controls
Ok so I can go to the DGW with either:
A:
Hibbert , Drenthe , Bale , VDV , Adebayor
or
B:
Baines , Walker , Drenthe , Bale , Adebayor
Which one is better you guys thing?
I’m leaning towards BOpen Controls
Is it likely Gallas will play next GW?
and what are his chances for the DGW?Open ControlsIt would solve all my problems if Big Willie plays for the next 3 or 4. King n Gallas or King Kabul.
I may have to take a punt on Gallas ass I cant afford any of the full bucks without -4 which defeats the whole process really.Open Controls
This week has been an absolute lolfest. Bet it was carnage on here earlier with RvP drawing a blank. Meanwhile, Spurs Utd and City going for the title with Arsenal and Chelski fighting for 4th. S.C.E.N.E.S
