With the Gameweek settled and the Reebok woodwork still reverberating from the efforts of a luckless Robin Van Persie, it’s time for our Members to soak up a selection of key stats from our Opta data. As usual, we’ve also thrown in our take on how the Fantasy Premier League bonus could pan out…
Hoping so He gets 2 BPs while R Taylor 3 although I have both.

20 years ago, if you ordered something through the mail, it took a couple weeks, and no one gave a shit. Now everything has to be delivered instantly. From what i recall, the world still ran itself ok 20 years ago, productivity wise, and there weren't so many impatient people, texting on cellulars while driving like madmen.Open ControlsIt's better than being a hippy.

Been planning transfers for weeks now...adjusting as the games and form changes things...pretty certain I had my plan set...but doubt crept in so I was wondering if any of you would look at the team and suggest what you would do with it (without me suggesting what I have in mind).
Here goes:
Krul / Vorm
Kompany / Enrique / BAE / Simpson / Naylor
Silva / Bale / Sess / Dempsey / McClean
RVP / Ade / Sturridge
0.6 in the bankOpen Controlsalmost good.
Krul/Mignolet
Komp/Huth/Senderos/Santon/Evans
Silva/Bale/Sess/Demps/McClean
RVP/Aguero/BaOpen ControlsHow much confidence do you have in sturridge? Assuming you want to keep I would trade ade for ba.
Not that comfortable with 2 mids from Sunderland so could consider getting rid of sess for Valencia?Open Controlskeep enrique and bae if you defense can manage if not then dump one and keep the other id say. or could dump both i'll leave that up to you....
would probably get someone in for naylor as you already have vorm in goal. maybe a punt on taiwo? or evans? would suggest brown but not sure how long he's out for
mid looks good though i'd lose one of sess and mcclean. alternatively you could double up as both have been playing pretty well.
ba in for ade and either keep sturridge or maybe get dzeko or someone else... dont know
option 2 I just thought of while writing this:
one of enrique and bae to kelly, naylor to evans or taiwo ade to aguero and sturridge to ba if that can be afforded
then if you wanted you could sell the other out of enrique and bae to a cheapie and bring in valencia for sess
sorry for rambling but hope this gives you some ideas.....Open Controls
ahhh just went to do sturrifge to ba and sturridge went down last night so can't afford it now... grr
Open ControlsSchool boy error.
What's your next move? Could take a punt on Demba Cisse instead.Open Controls
Should I do Keane>D Cisse this Gw?
QPR have Wolves & Blackburn as the the next two opponents
Don't have funds for B Zamora or D Ba.Open ControlsI have two FTs and thought about two scenarios:
1. O'Shea>Taiwo/Evans and Enrique>Sagna;
2. O'Shea>Taiwo/Evans and Sturridge>Ba.
Could also do Dyer>Surman and Sturridge>Ba. Can't really make up my mind, any input on this? Thanks!Open ControlsI would go with option 2 although the third one could also work...but probably #2 hey...And it would have to be Evans...
Open ControlsWhy not Taiwo? I was thinking to get Taiwo for next 4 weeks (QPR has easier fixtures, so perhaps an assist). JEvans clean sheet looks unlikely to me for next couple of weeks.

R Taylor the most transferred in Defender today.
Open Controlshe's 50/50 imo. one week 10, one week 1
Open ControlsBut in both GWs he outscored other NewCastle Defenders.
Open Controlshot and cold. day and night. but still a better shout than Williamson (who i have in my team)

as liverpool have their game cancelled against everton ...and till then tough fixtures ahead ..who should i get in for skrtel..?already have 3 city cover..plus i wanted to bring in ba this week...suggestions appreciated..
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1821808/event-history/23/Open Controlsbonus prediction for the following?
1. Sess
2. Dempsey
3. Valencia
4. Bale
5. bentOpen Controlsanyone have an idea how long brown will be out?
any suggestions who to get in for him 4.5 or less?Open ControlsJEvans or Taiwo.

Bonus predicitions for: RTaylor, Dempsey, Bale, Valencia, Sigurdsson, Bellamy, RVP?
Open ControlsSOMEONE ANSWER MY QUESTION, BEEN POSTED 3 TIMES:
should i take a hit this week to bring in huth or silva?
already did sturridge>baOpen Controlssorry in advance for yelling 🙂
Open ControlsBring in Silva
Open Controlsalready posted above buh here it is again... huth against sunderland and next up against fulham both teams are likely to score and likely to concede less goals imo …ps last tym around sunderland scored 4 goals against stoke...silva u could bring in latr but not for 4 pt hit
Open ControlsApart from Arsenal (!) all teams are odds-on to concede for GW 24 - however Stoke are one of the shortest-odds teams to keep a cleanie, so Huth wouldn't be too bad a shout. Definitely looks like a 3-defender week, though (as most of them are this season).

Should I do Keane>Djebril Cisse this Gw?

Open ControlsThe last two weeks were horrendous for baps, I'm hoping this week makes up for it.
Open Controls
I hate Raylor with the fury of a thousand suns.
I despise that motherf***er with every fibre of my being.Open Controlsyes, everytime i lose H2H, ony because his luck. very happy if can fuc* off on the bench soon
Open ControlsEvery guy above me in my mini league has him. He has dramatically decreased my surge up the table for this week. It's astoundingly annoying, the sod isn't even suppose to be starting - and then on top of that he inevitably gets big points without deserving them.
If I saw him in the street I'd donkey punch him.Open Controlsthanks for that :lol; i'm in Vn so cant kill him
Open ControlsHaha not much better off mate - I'm in South Africa.
Open Controls
Hmmm, do you know what a donkey punch is?
Look it up on Urban Dictionary then re-think that statement...Open ControlsYes, I know exactly what it is.
Open Controls
A better alternative would be to get him in to your team.
Open Controlscue 3 bps
Open Controls
RMT:
Vorm
Raylor, Shawcross, Taiwo
Dempsey, Bale, Valencia, Sessegnon
Aguero, RVP(c), Bellamy
Bench: Krul, BAE, Dyer, JEvans
Thanks in advance!Open ControlsAnyone else thinking that Valencia's nice run of form will come to an end pretty soon? Worth sticking with the Nani and coupling him with Dzeko, or is it better to go with Valencia and Aguero? When Nani drops the bomb, it's usually a big one...
Open Controlsagueros about to drop a couple bombs at home, i have this feeling... aguero+antonio will definately outscore nani+dzeko over the second half of the season
Open ControlsAnother option would be to keep Nani AND Aguero, but drop Kompany for someone in the 4.5m range who's not JEvans or Taiwo...What you thunk?
Open Controlsif you are that keen on nani, i say you do it. Always trust your gut. I have learnt that time after time of knee-jerking captain choices...
perhaps santon, simpson, williamson? doubling up on newcastle doesnt seem like such a bad idea as of lateOpen Controls
who is the differential if almost high rankers have silva-dempsey-sess-bale-valencia-RvP easily?
Open ControlsCruel that the difference of points between captaining RVP over Bale was13 points 🙁
Open ControlsWalters + Adebayor OUT
Bale + Zamora IN
Opinions?Open ControlsHmmm....was going to rush into saying "Just do it" but my brain is frying itself with my own team selection so came up with possible reasons why not to...Bale is surely essential and QPR have a good run of games...Walters I think may have been shifted to the right and Ade has been firing blanks...
You may wanna see what happens to Zamora first with Cisse starting so well for them...But I understand that both moves are set to fund their replacements...
Good luck...sorry I couldn't be more firm with my suggestion...I'm on fragile ground right now...haha! Love/Hate this Game!Open Controls
Got some feedback earlier and the seed of Vorm to Mignolet has been planted. I really hate making that switch as Vorm has been very good to me...Can anyone raise PROs or CONs for that proposed move?
Open ControlsHow much would you lose, i.e. how much extra if you need to get Vorm back?
Open Controlsif your other gk is krul, then do it.
Open ControlsNever drop the Vorm. NEVER transfer out the Vorm. He works wonders when you least expect it.
Open ControlsSold him for Lindegaard this week, 9 point profit 8)
Open Controls
You can probably start this yourself and ask people to add.
To be honest, it depends on your other goalkeeper and who Vorm or Mignolet will match this. You will want fairly compelling reasons to switch given Vorm's stats to date. I see little reason to expect these to be much different for the rest of the season.
I assume this is a wild-card. Do you have another wild-card to use later?Open ControlsOnly this wildcard and will shape this team:
Krul / Vorm
Kompany / Enrique / BAE / Simpson / Naylor
Silva / Bale / Sess / Dempsey / McClean
RVP / Ade / Sturridge
0.6 in the bank
Out: Vorm / Naylor / Enrique / Ade / Sturridge
In: Mignolet / Caulker / Evans / Aguero / BAOpen Controls
I've been looking at that very move and I'm coming to the conclusion that Mignolet isn't that great an option. Since he came back he's only kept clean sheets at home, and in his next 9 games his home games are ARS, LIV, QPR, TOT. They don't sound appealing and I'm thinking again. On the pro side, he is cheap.
Open Controls
Think my teams ok for this week so saving the transfer, just leaves me with who to bench?
Choices are:
Home: Kompany (FUL), Aguero! (FUL), Simpson (AVL),
Away: JEvans (Che), McClean (Sto), Kelly (Mci), Turner (Sto)Open ControlsKelly & Turner(Maybe)
Open ControlsI was thinking: McClean, JEvans, Turner
Jsut seems wrong to bench Kompany and Aguero despite my bench scoring more than them this week.Open Controls
how many do you need to bench? definitly kelly and probably evans too
Open ControlsBench normally has 3 outfield players on it!

Some turnaround at Sunderland under Martin O'Neill:
http://twitpic.com/8eht9qOpen ControlsI love that so many on here hate Raylor!
Just sign him! His points wont dry up!
I've had him since GW1, wish I played him every week tho, two double digit scores whilst on my bench!Open ControlsI state here as empirical fact his points will dry up.
Bookmark that sh*t.Open Controls+10000000000
I play him every week regardless of who he has to face.
Even if his position is threatened I will not transfer him out.
For 3 weeks in a row he has been NewCastle's highest scoring defender.Open ControlsI had him from early doors, watched him go from 4.3 to 5.3.
Then binned before Xmas before he dropped in price and he stopped getting points. Didn't quite work out for me that one.
Been steadily falling down, but back in top 100k now. No way can justify Raylor at the price though.Open ControlsSO JAMMY. The problem is on here we all pay attention to playing time and saw that he had lost his place to Santon so many transferred him out. Unlucky for us, thanks to injuries he not only continues to play but he's OOP. On top of that all the casuals have him simply because he's the highest scoring defender so it rewards the people who don't put the work in. His goal and clean sheet were so lucky last night, Blackburn had a crazy number of shots and missed a pen.
I had the foresight to get him in at the start of the season then transferred him out a while ago when his starting place was in doubt. My rivals who haven't had him since the start still have him and are thus reaping the jammy rewards. Couldn't be more annoyed about it.Open ControlsIf he gets baps this week I might just explode.
Open ControlsHe will surely Get BPS

Man, I hate this frigging game.
Accidentally sold Krul instead of Vorm for Lindy in the WC. Lindy injured.
Captained Lemon Ade vs Wigan. Bale played, cleaned up and the Togolese twerp did nothing.
Sold the useless Hibbert. He promptly played and kept a clean sheet.
Bought Kompany. Hibbert stole his clean sheet.
Meh, at least I've got Baron Victor Mosenstein. Wigan's going to come good, right?Open Controlsya, next season in the championship! mark my words, moses top scorer 🙂
Open ControlsHave been burned by Ade captain before, never again after the DGW. Also did the Hibbert one, but would you have played him against City?
Open ControlsYes, I would actually, if I'd had him. City seem to struggle against Everton for some reason but I thought they'd keep a clean sheet. A grim 0-0 was my prognosis.
Open Controls
anyways its getting late, best of luck to you all inn your bps 😉 at least we only have to wait 2 more days for more complaints about captain picks, even tho its 70% to one player...
Open ControlsI think it will be around 90% after 2 days.
