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.

    FPL is a funny game.
    I reluctantly had to play Dyer this week because Shotton, Osman and Kompany all wouldn't play.
    Turns out to be my top scorer so far this week.

    They should change the rules on the assists. i.e Rooney should claim both assists as he made the last deliberate touch before the goalscorer finished off the chance.

      It was because he was due to rise the day before but some of the Guys think FPL restrict any rises to 3 per gameweek. The 4th was held over and there wasn't enough transfers out to stop this happening yesterday.

      Done by net transfers in that week, if they reach an unknown target they rise and the net target goes back to zero. If they reach the target again, they rise again. Simples 😉

      6 of those 11 are involved in top 5 clashes next week but seeing as you've decided, the subs look alright

    Am I right in getting rid of Evans.. United seem to have some pretty tough fixture coming up and there defence isnt looking the most promising against some of the top clubs?

      I have him, hate using a transfer when you'll only get it the usual suspects (Shotton/Simpson/Naylor) for him. Bench him and wait for Ferdinand to die and take more drugs.

      Okay, thats it! Will someone please take Rooney's 'assist' off before my eggs boil dry :-S

        I don't see Sunderland steamrollering the Swans. 1-1 I reckon; but Sess could score and pick up 3 bps.

        Cheers - already have Ethers; and will probably Huth too. Stoke trio. Will probably bundle out Crouch then for gw 23 as they have United away. Then WC.

      Not bad. A bit risky, but maybe Cahill-Demps --> highprice mid (Lampard, nani) -Budget D (McCauly/Shotton/Ward)

      Fulham were horrible this week, and Cahill may take awhile to get settled, or miss a GW.

    Krul Mignolet
    Richards Enrique Cahill Evans Senderos
    Silva Bale Dempsey Sessegnon Walters

      It's a strong team but which midfielder/striker would you bench for next week? All but Bale have home fixtures and he could have a good game against City...
