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…
Any thoughts where Valencia will play against Bolton? If Evans returns will Valencia be back on the wing?
Have both Evans and Valencia in my wild card team but now a tad twitchy.Open Controls
So...2 FT
Ba, Yaya out
Sess, Sturridge IN 1,2 left
Mata, Morison IN 0.2 left
Dempsey, Yak IN 0,6 left
Best options I think...Open Controls
Valencia and Yak Id go Or Ramires and Sturridge
Open Controls
Why are people expecting BAPs today? It comes out only after the DGW match.
Open Controls
+1
Pretty sure Mark said that also.Open Controls
Granville mentioned the same thing last week that they could delay them.
Open Controls
Baps are just mental. After weekend games, the bps always come out on the monday morning, even if there's a game that night. Which means that they can be announced before the gameweek is finished. Midweek games are confusing.

Ruddy at 100%

Evans or Shawcross for a WC team?
Open ControlsShawcross it is then. Thanks.
Open Controls
have 2 questions
1) Who to play next week out of Sess and Raylor. Newcastle are playing QPR at home and I'm already playing Krul and i'm a bit twitchy about doubling up. Sess goes to the bridge but chelsea are shite there and Sunderland is in a great form.
2) Who will be on pens in newcastle during Ba's absence Ameobi or Cabaye? This influences my decision to get Cabaye a lot. i know Ameobi doesn't get much playing time but he could with Ba's absence.Open Controls
you have also got to think if newcastle will get many pens with Ba gone. Seriously would you rely on ameba brothers to get you into box

sums up your game week when 2 of your bench will rise in price more than the starting 11

Best midfielder for the next two gameweeks for 6.8m or under?
Translation: Osman is getting gagged, I'm tying a LIDL bag over his head, butt raped (why not? Things were going that way), placed into a canon and fired into the sun never to return to my FPL team again.Open Controls
Cabaye probably.
I went for Sess because I fancied the double price rise before WCing - Cabaye might give you that anyway.Open Controls
Any1 doubling up on stoke def away to Liv nxt weekend
Open Controls???? no
but gw 23 when i wc for gw 24->, i may double up. (SUN, ful, SWA, NOR)Open Controls
Any suggestions on this WC team?
Only leaves 0.2 in bank.
MIgnolet/Vorm
Richards/Evans/Simpson/Caulker/Kelly
Silva/Bale/Dempsey/Valencia/Sess
RVP/Aguero/Sturridge
All suggestions appreciated 🙂Open Controls
I'm on 37 points with Bale, Ade (C), Jagielka and Drenthe to play again (If they do), if Drenthe doesn't Moses comes in for a massive 1 extra point. Only likely BP candidates I have are Ba and Bale from the 1st games.
Cup opponents on 46 with Ade (Not C) to play. His possible BP candidates are Ward, Vorm, Raylor, Naylor, Silva..
Am I out of the cup?Open Controlslol vorm for bonus
Open ControlsI was just throwing any likely candidates in for accuracy lol
Open Controls
Unless Bale and Ade run riot against Everton it looks like it to me. Sorry.
Open Controls
I wouldnt say out 100% at all, be closer than you think. Have a better idea once BPs come out.
Open Controls
Anyone else think Newcastle will suffer massively now with Ba and Tiote gone? They will leave a massive hole in their team as far as I'm concerned...
Open ControlsBig players to lose, bound to miss them, but they are a good side and Cabaye was outstanding last night.
Open Controls
Mcauley Caulker is trying to keep up with the Joneses. If they go to a good Taylor they'll be in good Kompany.
Open Controls
What about Jose and Enrique Iglesias?
Open Controls
Anyone else finding it really difficult to see a spot for a Man U player? Worked 3 or 4 WC teams and the only player finding a spot is Rooney? I'm sick of Nani, the defence is shot with Vidic out and I don't trust the midfield rotation!
Open Controls
could you imagine having a team without a United player?
Open ControlsOwen?
Open Controls
Please pick, Ive made 2 drafts, a little variations here and there but here goes.
A) Vorm. Ruddy.
Kompany. Agger. Simpson. Caulker. Kelly
Silva. Bale. Dempsey. Sessegnon. Walters
Sturridge. Aguero. RVP
(0.0 in bank)
B) LINDEGAARD. Vorm.
Kompany. SKRTEL. Simpson. Caulker. Kelly
Silva. Bale. Dempsey. SESS/WALTERS. DYER.
Sturridge. Aguero. RVP
(1.5 in bank)
- A or B gents. and why?
- If B, Sess or Walters?Open ControlsA. for me. Looks very solid, I only wish I could get all those players in my WC team..
Open ControlsA easy. you willing to sacrifice Walters for Dyer just to get in Lindey, when you have top scoring keeper anyway and playing back up (obviously never going to get CS).
Obviously this leaves you with no man utd and only 1 spurs but thats why they invented transfersOpen Controls
B because it will be difficult to choose your 4 midfield players (sessegnon or walters will be your dilemma each week and you'll be kicking yourself if and when you make the wrong choice)
i would prob upgrade kelly to someone more decent, maybe a MAN U defender like smalling or evans (despite their poor run of form, things will pick up again for sure)Open Controls
my wc team:
just planning though
vorm/szchwanser
kompany-BAE-sagna-enrique-simpson
moses-reo-cooker-silva-bale-sess
rvp-ba-kun
how's the team??
planning on 4-3-3 most of the weekOpen Controls
I would downgrade a defender so you can upgrade Reo-Coker...
Schwarzer -> Krul
Sagna -> Kelly (Fulham)
Reo-coker -> Walters?
Bear in mind your lack of United coverage aswell once their form picks up...
Good Luck 🙂Open Controls
Right here is my reasoning for United's form this season.
After losing to Barcelona it all seemed to change. We were playing a completely different style of football up until after that defeat. From then on we seemed to play much more short direct passing football through the middle of the field as opposed to almost solid wing play and awesome Scholes' floaters. Our main instigator and tool of this directional play was Cleverley.
During the pre-season we got used to playing this way and Cleverley was seeing a lot of the ball, working incredibly well with Welbeck and Anderson. Since the injuries of these players early in the season, it seemed to take us a while to get back to any kind of form. It looks like we have reverted back to last season's style of play...but with Cleverley coming back soon and Anderson back in midfield, I hope we can get some of that form back.
This might be a little rambley and heaping a lot of praise on just one player, but I honestly think we'll start to play much better football as soon as Tom is back on the field.Open Controls
Agreed, we desperately need a creative midfielder, Tom fits that spot. Hope it will work out for United.
Open Controls
... and I reckon it was mainly down to Ando ... 😉
Open Controls
well I guess it cannot get any worse then last night
Open ControlsOops Fratboy. This is nonsense in my view.
Open Controls
We should be exposed to injuries like we have been. I know the injury list is unprecendented, but there should be enough numbers not to have to play players out of position. If anything our squad is too young.
Open Controls
This is the time when a player's versatility comes to the fore. Players out of position is an absolute necessity at this point of time and if we had that many players in the squad, when the team is fully fit they would all be rotting on the bench. I strongly believe we need 1 world-class midfielder in the team. But that's it.
Open ControlsThe annoying thing about all of that is it seems Fergie is refusing to admit that our squad isn't good enough...I know we're still 2nd in the Premier League, but we're out of the Champions League, we lost to Crystal Palace in the CC and we're more than likely going out of the FA cup on Sunday. He'll probably ignore all of these things 🙁
Open Controls
Don't normally defend MU, but they have been incredibly unlucky with injuries this season. I can't really remember them having such big problems as this... Carrick and Valencia in defence the other week sums it all up.
Open Controls
Sorry, utter BS. Blame Fergie who waved goodbye to O'Shea, Brown and only signed 1 (exensive) replacement in Jones.
Crazy with Rio's age and Vidic's injury history recentlyOpen Controls
Slipped down the leaderboard horrifically in the last 2 GW's, but have 2 FT to amend to some extent.
Vorm (Ruddy)
Enrique Vermaelen Simpson (Tierney, Evans)
Silva Bale Larsson Nani (Allen)
RVP Sturridge Ade
Was going to do either..
A) Verm -> Kompany
Larsson -> Sess/Walters
B) Verm -> Kompany
Enrique -> Kelly/Caulker
Larsson -> Dempsey
(4PT HIT)
C) Verm -> Richards (rotation risk)
Larsson -> Dempsey
Evans -> Kelly
Would be grateful for any help or suggestions. Thanks 🙂Open Controlsbit tricky your team looks storng to me and may well start producing, we all good through poor weeks with good teams (except the bugger leading my mini league) so may be risk to do triple change
Open Controls
Hi
Would really appreciate your advice - does this team look OK:
Lindegaard (Vorm)
Enrique, Kompany, Evans (Simpson, Caulker)
Nani, Silva, Bale, Walters (McClean)
RVP, Aguero, Sturridge
Suggestions and opinions would be great please! I’d like to keep 3 united players (despite their current form…) but is it worth upgrading Evans to Jones and downgrading Simpson and McClean? have 0.9 in the bank.
Thanks!Open ControlsIs my FPL name actually catching on?
#McAuley, CaulkerOpen ControlsI cant see that the royalties has reached my account yet 😉
Open Controlswtf, the above was a reply, now it has morphed into a post, and the psot i replied to has vanished.
I need my gulliver checked out.Open Controls
is Friedel and Krul too much money on keepers, currently I have Freidel and Vorm, but they don't rotate well, Krul and Friedel do, but it leaves me weak elsewhere if I want Aguero
Open Controls
So, No BPs?
Open Controls
seems like a pretty common WC team...yet when I redo it every time I usually come out with a variation of the the following:
WC Team:
Vorm | Ruddy
BAE | Jones | Kompany | Brown | Simpson
Bale | Dempsey | Sessegnon | Cabaye | Valencia
RVP | Yakubu | Aguero
thoughts?Open Controls
I'm looking for a striker punt to replace Ba with for 3 weeks. Maximum price of 7.8. I will then WC before GW 24.
Looking at the fixures my obvious options are:
Agbonlahor
Bendtner
Yakubu
Any other ideas/better options?Open Controlsam in the same dilema with slightly more to spend, which is drawing me to Super Mario.
Gabby's early season form seems to have dipped, Bendy, no, Yak is a good choice
Bellamy could be an interesting punt, as could Zamora.Open Controls
so ba's price going to steadily drop then? what do you expect the low water mark to be? (currently 7.6)
Open Controls7?
