Swansea’s fine 3-2 win over Arsenal concludes the weekend action, leaving tomorrow evening’s clash between Wigan and City as the only unfinished business in the Gameweek. Time then, for us to extract the key statistics from our Members area and make a stab at the destination of the Fantasy Premier League bonus points…

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

    a day later and i still think rooney should keep both assists without a doubt

    does anyone know if he is on for bonus points?

          By the rules he should lose the one for the Scholes goal, definitely touches. The exact same thing happened to Van Persie a couple months ago, and before that it happened with a Defoe goal.

              disagree mate

              suggest you watch again, particularly the angle form behind rooney as he crosses

              couldnt be clearer welbecks foot is out the way before the ball even reaches him

                  I've logged on here 3 times since the Man U game and despite new articles , on the latest page there's always a comment about Rooney's assists.

                  Far be it from me to say, but really, get a life and move on... it's a bloody game. Im sure there's bigger questions like why you've captained Bale for his 3rd game in a week against a well drilled Wolves team?

                  A Rooney Owner

        Yeah I'm getting rid of Ade, he let me down big time three good home fixtures and just 6 points.

        Considering Fletcher and Zamora, don't fancy a QPR striker they had no threat today at all.

        I'm slightly wary of Fletcher, last time I had him he did badly in 2 good home games when I needed him and then scored away at Arsenal when I ditched him.

    ok folks bad day for me today, went into the day with a 27 point lead. Main rival captained RvP, I did not. He also has Dyer to come in as first sub, i have McAuley. We both have Silva and he has Richards. So I need Silva to play as my other 2 subs did not, and he has Simpson 2nd sub. I also need City not to keep a cs, and Richards not be involved in any goals.

    In short COME ON VICTOR MOSES, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.

        Put him in last week on WC expecting a cleanie yesterday lol. Still gone up 0.2 so far, also kept VDV an extra week so will be putting Silva back in this week at 0.1 cheaper then hopefully selling BAE after Wigan for a 0.2 profit with any luck if he keeps on going... 🙂

      Woodgate is at home to toothless West Brom, Sinclair should be on your bench, he's Walters Mark II, Nani will destroy Arsenal (crosses fingers, touches wood, buys a rabbit's foot)

          there is a chance of course, especially given how f'n awful Nani was yesterday, but he seems to do well vs Arsenal, and seems to relish the bigger games (he seems unable to motivate himself otherwise)

        Alternative to Sinclair is Phil Jones who I imagine will play but a cleanie at Arsenal might be a bit much to ask for. Memories of United's pacy, counterattacking wins at Arsenal in previous years are swaying me into sitting tight at present.
