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…
please, im looking a replacement for begovic (stoke city)

A) GW21: 2 Jan – 14 Jan
B) GW23: 21 Jan – 31 Jan
was going to wc before 21 but now thinking of 23 after what has been said above- the shout about seeing the teamsheets sound good. ahve just checked the deadlin is 7.30pm on jan 31st and there are 6 evening games that night. and man utd and spurs' fixtures turn pretty sour after that. thanks for the help guys it has swayed my opinion thanksOpen Controlsalthough i already ahve my original wildcard intact so should i consider using it????
Open Controls
Nah. There'll be more DGWs down the road good for the original wildcard. Bad weather, FA Cup replays and the Carling cup final will see to that.
That's what i'm doing anyway, barring my whole squad getting struck by lightningOpen ControlsAnd don't forget the transfer window opens next week so that will inevitably throw up a few bargains. Besy to use the January wildcard as late as possible imo.
Open Controlsk thanks scratch think m leaning towards pre gameweek 23 as spurs and man united fixtures turn bad, we get teamsheets for 6 games before the deadline too.
regarding the original card yes that's a good point as a new player hadnt thought about the possibility of future dgw's, and yes just wanted to make sure i wasnt devaluing my 2 wildcards by holding the first one of til week 23 thanksOpen Controls
why always me
Open Controls
I'm trying this again...
Which would you choose for DGW:
A.) Howard, Osman, Drenthe
B.) Howard, Baines, Drenthe
C.) Baines, Osman, Drenthe
D.) Jagielka, Osman, Drenthe
Please respond with a letter. Thanks.Open ControlsThat's the combination I like the most. Now I have to see if I have the guts to do it.
Open Controls
Money is not an issue.
Open Controls
c)because im also want to do the transfer....so how much point deducted to do the transfer?
Open Controls
Everton players are a false economy for the DGW, especially defenders, cos they more than likely concede in both games.
Open Controls
Best striker for less than 7mill???
Open Controlsfag
Open Controls
Evans out, no extra funds...? Is Shotton safe in the Stoke starting line up the next couple of weeks? Or any other good (max 4.6) suggestions?
Open Controlswhich transfers should be my greatest priority to make ahead of the dgw
alread ahve bale and ade so can only get one more spurs, player no everton
by then i will have 2 free transfers and 0.3m in the bank
which of these should i do
evans to gallas/hibbert
shawcross to bae
walters to osman
silva to vdv, which wud mean i couldnt change my defence unless i got everton players in
i am also deliberately wether or not to wildcard after before gw 21, or 22 or 23 leaning towards 23, but im aware that i have my other wildcard freeOpen Controls
Current team:
Vorm, Krul
Raylor, Evans, Naylor, Enrique, Simpson
Silva, Nani, Bale, Ramsey, Gower
Rooney, Ade, Morison
1.5m in bank & 1 FT
Options:
(1) Ramsey --> Brunt this week, then upgrade one of Evans or Raylor next week?
(2) Save transfer
Any other suggestions?Open Controls
Is it unrealistic to hope for 7 bonus points from Bale, Ba and Adebayor?
Open Controls
I popped this question a bit earlier, this is definitely the right place for it:
I have no idea what I should do for my team next week. Got Vorm in goal again TOT, with Given as a backup. My Def is Jones/Enrique/N Taylor/Simpson/Barnett(who apparently never starts.. need to kick this budget loser to the curb). My mid is decent with Walters/Ramsey/Bale/Silva/Dyer and feel good up front with Ade/RVP/Ba. I wanted to use this GW transfer to do something with Ramsey, but thinking of swapping out Given for a new GK for the week (maybe Ruddy? Al-habisi?) or clean up that backline with bringing in someone decent other than Barnett to fill in N Taylor and Simpsons spot for the week as I'm not feeling real good about playing against Liverpool or Spurs.
Got good feedback on Stockdale, but unsure if I should take the potential low points with Vorm and work on the defense or focus on the GK...
Thoughts?Open Controls
Walters/Ramsey/Bale/Silva/Dyer , you think it's decent?
Open Controls
Your team seems like it is very cheap. 1 big hitter up front and only Silva the really expensive one (altho one could argue Bale is a big hitter also). Where has your money gone?
Open ControlsProbably a good question. I have 1.4M in the bank and valued at 102.6 in players. The last 5 or so gameweeks I feel as if I've been plugging holes and fighting fires to field a full / near full squad.
Open Controls
Ramsey and Jones should start on the weekend. Vorm ought to get some save points against Spurs. You need a new defender.
Open ControlsThink I should bring in a TOT defender in prep for the upcoming DGW? Maybe Walker or BAE? My three discount defenders could bring me BAE, or Enrique to Walker with the $1.4M in the bank. Was hoping to save that for upgrading the mid with a move from Walters or Ramsey to something in the 8M region.
Open Controls
hey guys sorry if this issue has already been settled but i just got on here
osman or drenthe for next to gameweeks? money is not a problem.
thanks fellas.Open Controls
Here's a tricky one:
AFTER this GW:
Mata>VDV
or
Brown>Kelly(Ful) and Evans>BAE for a 4 point hit?Open Controlsterry or vermalean for gameweek 20?
Open Controlschelsea def a little shaky. actually a lot shaky.
Open Controls
Current Team:
Al-Habsi, Henessey
Simpson, Barnett, Cahill, Shorey, Kompany
Mata, Silva, Walters, Dempsey, Gower
Suarez, Adebayor, Yakubu
2 ft, 1.4 in bank
any advice on how to improve??? would like to cheapen my defenders and change yakubu for sturridge
any advice is appreciated and thanks 🙂 🙂Open ControlsCahill to a Swansea defender (Naylor maybe?) and yakubu to Sturridge. i've got gower also...he seems to have lost his starting position but with your midfield, may be able to wait to switch him out
Open ControlsDempsey/Walters to Bale? Downgrade Suarez to Sturridge
Open Controls
so do people still save ba for 1 more week? or transferring him out now??
mine is ba>ade.
also thinking walters>osman the week after.Open Controlswhich transfers should be my greatest priority to make ahead of the dgw
alread ahve bale and ade so can only get one more spurs, player no everton

Save the trade. You have 4 fit defenders.Open Controls
Harsh.
Open Controls
Screw it. Instead of Evans, Brown, Moses out for BAE, Shotton and Drenthe
now it'll be Evans, Kelly, Sessegnon out for BAE Shotton and Osman.
maybe it'll wind up being a better move anyway. would have liked to hold onto sess but wasnt planning on using him next 2 GWs anyway. Though he would have been a terrific bench option when someone is bound to sit out. i suppose im rambling at this point.Open Controls
any one got an idea whats up with wilkinson?
is he gg to claim his place back?Open ControlsPulis finally realised how utterly useless he is?
Open Controls
i dont get the fuss over ramsey. yeah he's a great player but NOT in fantasy terms (ala modric). why bother getting him in the first place?
Open ControlsBecause in previous seasons a £6.5m route into the Arsenal midfield was unheard of unless their surname was Diaby or Song.
He's been playing well in fairness and unlucky not to have knicked a couple of goals yet. Wilshere was similar last season but happened to convert more of his performances into fantasy football points.Open Controlsnow wilshere would be a steal. any word on when he's going to be back?
Open Controls
Skrtel or Samba
Open ControlsWhat are people's views on the role of Silva? I've had him since GW1 and obviously have been satisfied with the returns, but I've seen some say that he has been playing a more withdrawn role in recent matches. Add this to the increasing risk of him being rested, is it time to jump off the bandwagon?
Open Controlsbp prediction for ba,r.taylor,valencia,shawx?
Open Controlshope you are right.....as my rival has r.taylor and shawx......and now 48-51 to him
Open Controls
VDV or Bale for da nxt few weeks?? any ideas??
Open Controlsanyone also think that krul have a higher chance of CS than vorm??
Open Controls- Open Controls
going to do Ba > Saha.
I know it's crazy. but so was captaining mata.Open Controls
Hmm, captain for DGW will be interesting, Bale or Adebayor for me.
Looking at average position, Bale was playing striker - almost identical to Adebayor's position.Open Controls
So I end up scoring 36 this week and getting thrashed in the cup by someone ranked 2 million ... FF is a bitch !!
Open Controls
VDV vs Assou Ekotto for the DGW? Who's a better bet?
Open ControlsWalker.
Open Controlsdo you ever watch the game ?
Walker is the worst Spurs player last nightOpen Controlsye was awful definately not walker shooting was dreadful too
Open ControlsWalker is a better choice than BAE, regardless of one game.
Open Controls
What does that matter?
He plays further up than BAE.
no wonder those people voted you most annoying poster 🙄Open Controlsfurther up ?
load of shot off target and non-address crossed. his shoots is terrible. just peolple watched the game yesterday will understand.
i'm a hater, my boyOpen ControlsIt was one game, anyone that has watched Spurs games this season will understand.
RVP was pretty poor finishing wise yesterday, does that mean Chamakh instead?
You don't understand, just shoosh, please...leave.Open Controlsyou even cant understand the differrential between them and their prices???
Walker is on 5.8M
look at 'team selected by % boy, BAE > Walker. stop saying stupid thing.Open ControlsYou really are dumb.
Walker is what? 0.4 over BAE? That doesn't matter, we aren't talking about prices ffs.
And what the hell are you talking about team selected by % haha, Cahill has one of the highest ownerships in the game, should I get him in too? 🙄
And I am saying stupid things? Do you understand what you are sayingOpen ControlsPeople went BAE over Walker for price, yes, obviously.
But Walker will bring you more points over the season.
We were clearly talking about Walker as a player, you were saying he is crap, which he isn't, them you bring up his price randomly and you are saying things that make no sense.Open Controls
some stats for you - walker: Tackles Won: 6/6 - 100% Ground Duels: 8/8 - 100% Aerial Duels: 1/1 - 100% Perfect
Open Controlshow many shot off target and stupid crosses for his 'further up' than BAE?
Open Controls0/2 on target, not sure about crosses.
You are judging him on one game where he had 2 shots off target, he is still a better player, with more attacking threat, than BAE, so shut up, fool.Open ControlsOK, if you choose him over BAE for DGW, I'll a loser. agree?
Open Controls
I only have enough cash for Assou Ekotto. I want to get rid of Evans this week. Not sure whether to go with BAE or hold off on my last Tottenham slot for VDV.
