With just Everton’s trip to White Hart Lane left to be played in the gameweek, it’s time for our members to soak up our pick of the stats from the action so far, along with our punt on how the Fantasy Premier League bonus will pan out…

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

        I can get RVP only by selling Rooney and downgrading Milner/Ramires to Cabaye or cabaye...

        It has be either RVP or Rooney... I have tried to get a balanced team here, picking important & consistent player from each team.. doesnt look perfect for all gws, but its decent i guess. I want to RVP & silva but how....

    Contemplating using my WC now, considering that I'm able to come up with a team that I'm happy with. Would appreciate your thoughts:

    Guzan* Sorensen
    Kompany, Enrique, Senderos*, Williamson*, Caulker*
    Silva, Nani, Bale, Dempsey*, McClean*
    RVP, Adebayor, Sturridge

    *new additions

    Conversely, I could have Lindegaard for Guzan, or switch Dempsey and Sturridge for Mata and Zamora so that I have 0.6 to bring in Given for Guzan when required. All actions go, or wait longer for possible bargains?

      I actually acquired a similar model not long time ago, so personally I am not looking for another at this point in time.

      I must add I am not convinced with its performance. Still it does not work any worse than similar machinery with claret and blue finishing.

        I agree with you Boa. Especially for a player who has Chelsea away next game (cue "oh but last season Sunderand thrashed Chelsea...." Cries of justification.

    Got my wildcard team planned out, wondering what you guys think?

    Gone for a few differentials as im chasing a 100pt gap in my mini league and the leader has a really standard looking team.

    WC team

    Guzan, Sorensen

    McAuley, Brown, Evans, Simpson, Senderos

    Mata, Silva, Dempsey, VDV, Reo Coker

    RVP, Aguero, Bellamy

      Could do well. Guzan is a bit dodgy with Given waiting in the wings.

      It could / should do well.

      Guzan is a bit dodgy with Given waiting in the wings.

    Like Speedypro, Im down 100 points against my 2 mates.
    Thinking a wildcard is in order, Nani is starting to annoy me... Drenthe no longer

    Friedel Vorm

    Taylor R Taylor Warnock Brown Simpson

    Bale Drenthe Nani Silva Walters

    Yakubu Van Persie Adebayor

      Drenthe not worth.... U might consider Cabaye for the same price... Since BA is going for ACON, cabaye will be number 1 penalty taker ... also he is nailed on for 90 minutes

      Your teams still good for the next 3 weeks i would say, but so was mine and i still wanted to WC just to get some differentials in.

    28,000 transfers IN for Ba. Incredible.

    Do we know when BPs will be announced? Will they do a batch now, and then another batch after Spurs v Everton next week? I'm all excited as I could be going top of my ML...if the bonuses are kind.

        She's lovely isn't she? Makes a change from Rate My Team - Rate My Cat. I reckon she is definitely a 9 out of 10.

      Honestly no one knows since this is the first DGW of the season. But i would guess they will be out in the next few hours.

        Good stuff. Agreed that when there's no precedent, we're just guessing really. But it would seem very odd to save all the bonus awards until after the last game of the week, then splat in double bonuses to Bale et al (assuming a Spurs win etc)

    Last night I did Sinclair -> Sessegnon (a week before i thought i was going to) just before he rose. Good idea or not? Kinda wasn't thinking but i'm not sure if its good or not

      Sess is a form player in a form side - I can't see it being a bad idea. I've had Sess all season and am delighted he's found his form.
