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…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    How do you solve a problem like Gareth?

    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 – Ba + Evans + Drenthe ----> Sturridge + Shotton + Bale (-4)
    6 - any other way

              I got rid last week, when he was apparently injured. Brought in Osman (worked), then Nani this week (didn't work).

              So RVP, Rooney, Nani etc.. weren't in form then? Oh right, silly me.

                Those 3 were, but weren't you priding yourself on players playing at home? Alright, you were unlucky too, but you have some real garbage stinking up your team.

                  Unlucky?

                  Evans getting 0 when United keep a clean sheet.. Arsenal and Liverpool conceding from about one attack, Agger having a header cleared off the line in the last minute. Swansea being denied a clear penalty, Ramsey being rested and then setting up 6 goalscoring opportunities when he came on, Nani scoring 3 points in a 5-0 win after tearing it up in previous weeks, Rooney being rested and missing out on a 5-0 win, RVP (c) having 11 shots and still failing to score...

                  Unlucky doesn't even begin to tell the story.

            Obviously should be concentrating on the better defences. United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham are all over the place.

        I agree, but Roman was mental to sack a double winning manager 12 months after parading trophies through london. He's capable of anything.

            I don't agree. You seriously think a CL winning coach didn't know it was time to create a new team after the last season they had? It doesn't take a young Portuguese manager to do that y'know.

              If Ancelotti was still here, we'd still be playing Lampard, Malouda, Mikel etc. in every single game, and we'd be even worse than we are now.

          Also cant believe anyone is buying cahill. Well wank.

    May have been covered but oh well I've just logged on.
    Bale - basically OOP a lot of the game. Either ina very advanced 4-3-3 or actually drifting in towards being the main forward as Adebayor picks up the ball.
    In real life he's so much better than last year when he was getting all the plaudits.

      I only saw the second half (fell asleep through first) but he was really good. He and VDV pretty much had free roles and it worked well....for Bale.

        Indeed they are, but so are Bolton! I can get him in for Verm so may aswell go for it.

        Im still tempted to go for a Spurs defender over VDV but chances are Mata will be rested or have limited gametime against Wolves and VDV could explode.

          There's nothing to say RVP definitely won't start, especially after today's result.

          I suppose it's likely he'll get a rest but there's always the possibility of him starting and then being pulled off early.
