Mark The Team Statistics area of the Members Area has a wealth of data available to help guide our Fantasy selections and yet, to this point, we’ve somewhat neglected to highlight some of the information found there.
We’re addressing that from now on, with regular Numbers Game articles focusing on the data produced within a Gameweek, with a regular check on the attacking and defensive performance of teams over the previous four Gameweeks.
Valencia to MClean and Dzecko to Kun? Only losing .1 on Valencia so can bring back in later on, probably for Dempsey when fixtures tighten for Fulham,
Just a doubt re Kun/Dzecko though.... I went between them chasing their points early season and got it all wrong. Makes me fear that Aguero will be benched and Dzecko will choose to score 4 again.
kun should be alright.. city cant afford to drop points, neither can they afford to take chances at this stage of the season.
Dzeko*
McClean*
It seems ridiculous to transfer Valencia out when he's only missing one game, especially when after Spurs they play West Brom and Wolves, plus they're one of the few big teams that will play in GW 29
I.m thinking of doubling on Newcastle defence.
Bardsley>Raylor. Already have Simpson.
Would then bench McClean.
Yes or No please?
No
who's your GK?
the only issue is Raylors fitness. Is he a deffo starter and is he likely to last 90 mins -v- Bardsley nailed on to start however Odem is dangerous and likely to score hmmmmm DECISION = dont bench McLean!!
start moses or graham...moses i think has better fixture but graham has the form..any advice?
Lost at end of last post:
Team is linked.
2.3 in the bank and 2FT, looking to get Rooney in for w28
This week: Sess > Sigurdsson
Next week: some transfer + Wellbeck > Rooney
Need to find another 1.2m to make it happen though.
A) Silva>Ya ya
B) Kompany>Enrique (next week)
c) Konpany>Bardsly
Other choices?
Ryan Taylor's Yellow Flag is removed.
Hi Folks,
1 free transfer this gw and 0 in the bank. Thinking of keeping my transfer until next week.
Good or bad idea ?? Any obvious changes required ?
Cheers,
----------------- Vorm ----------------
--- J Evans --- Kompany --- RTaylor ---
- Dempsey -- McClean -- Bale -- Silva (V)
----- Graham --- Aguero (C) --- RVP -----
-- Mignolet -- Dyer -- Shotton -- Huth
Are you Serious?

Someone unsure what to do with Valencia. He's out for at least a GW and the GW he returns is a tough one against Spurs so that's two GWs I could do without. Mata has one great game at home to Bolton followed by a decent game away to Brom. It's tempting to punt on Mata for 2 GWs and bring him back in. Right now I would lose 0.2 on him, but he's already fallen once and is already -30% to the next fall so I may well lose nothing so price might not be an issue.
There's Yaya too.
Do you Have Silva ❓
If not then go for Yaya.
-11111111111111111111
It's not a bad transfer at all, presuming you can't/won't get Silva it makes perfect sense to bring in someone who's 3.1 cheaper and made 3 assists in 2 games since returning from ACN, plus with lots of double digit scores.
Sorry I've just realized I already have triple City coverage so actually Yaya isn't an option.
It's more like Valencia vs Mata vs Young vs Siggy/Ox/Walcott (lol)?
Siggy.
I don't think Mata will score[attributed by the fact that Funkyav has Mata in his team].

I have the same front 8 as you and I am probably just going to bench Valencia as I don't particularly want to bench any of the other 7 this week anyway. Dempsey's away form is not great but QPR's defence is not the best either and it's a local derby.
It is a tricky one though as Mata could rack up a big score this week, not so sure next week away from home. Chelsea will need an early goal this week to settle the nerves, if that doesn't come it could be quite a tense and edgy affair.
Yaya is tempting but I have Kompany so out of the question for me. Just a question of if 3 City attackers is overkill? If it's just for the two home matches it could be a profitable punt.
A. Bench Valencia play Mcclean (save the transfer)
B. Valencia to Mata
C. Valencia to Nani
Question. If I don't use my free transfer this week, will I have two FT available the following week? Or I just simply lose the free transfer?
JC just read the FAQ and that will ease your pain fella
play kelly or BAE??
kenny vorm
simpson cahill shawcross kompany kelly
moses bale dempsey silva valencia
rvp aguero graham
some transfer decisions to make. 1 FT.
shd i
A) valencia + graham -> taarabt + papiss cisse
B) valencia + cahill -> mata + taiwo
C) no changes
thanks in advance for all your help!
Any particular reason?
because in doing A, i get to take advantage of QPR and newcastle's pretty decent fixtures over the next 2 weeks.
especially since valencia's match next week is pretty tough.
You already have a problem deciding on who to bench, why would you take hit to bring in more players. You'll want Valencia from gw 28 onwards so no point in transfering him out. Bench Valencia for next 2 gw, others in your team have decent fixtures.
C
would keep cahill and seems like you will want valencia back again. Probable say C no changes
C
didnt be online in a while
does my team for this GW looks good?
Krul
Cahill / Evans / Richards
Dempsy / Mosses / Mata / Bale
RVP / Aguero(C) / Ba
subs: McClean , Taiwo,Senderos
Moses>McClean
Struggling to pick a XI for this gw, which 2 to bench:
Krul
BAE RTaylor Evans Kompany Taiwo
Silva Bale Dempsey Sessegnon
RVP Ba Aguero
Subs: Vorm, Dyer, ...., ....
I am all set to do Valencia->Mata and bench Graham for the week
or shall I release that trigger??
Phew, I am confused
I wouldn't. Valencia could be back next week and with their great run of fixtures coming up you'll probably want him back again - costing you 2 transfers.
I have him and am benching him for the duration - would be VERY happy if he's back next week but will bench him for longer if need be.
Get it done and cash in on the points.
Seeing as Valencia might be back next GW and Graham might get some chances, I would save the transfer, but I understand the fascination for Mata... though choices.
*tough choices.
What do you guys think is the % rotation risk for Silva this Weekend?
I don't follow Serie A
Looking to do these 2 transfers for GW28, opinions appreciated:-
Dempsey > Valencia
Aguero > Rooney
Yes.....
Hey disparate dan.. you around? just realised you can watch audition on youtube.. divided into 9 parts.. watch the first 3 mins of part 6.. if you like it watch the whole thing.. it's pretty slow and different.. gotta be used to korean/jap horror movies.. as for amnesia dark descent.. i'll describe this small bit i was playin.. entered a hallway with a few lit candles.. as i walked forward a random breeze came into the windows and blew them out.. started losin sanity in the darkness so lit one.. just ahead i hear a scream.. a monster was standin infront of me and could see me in the light though i dint notice him earlier.. no weapons in the game.. so i turned around and ran.. found an open door, entered the room and shut it.. moved a table infront of the door to block the door.. the monster started bangin against the door.. table began moving.. i turned around and entered a closet.. could barely see through the crack as the monster entered.. waited a few moments and then my character began goin insane in the dark.. so i opened the door and walked out to light a candle.. foolishly left the room door open.. moments later the monster saw me and i was dead:)
any news on rooney? thinking of rooney to aguero for a 4 point hit this week then get him back after tot [a] sound good?
If you captain Aguero for both matches possibly. Rooney could well explode against Norwich and Spurs though, he has a heart for the big games.
I would - but only if they were free transfers and you had nothing better to use them for.
Oye for the Folks playing Europa League FFS:
Since, My team Steua Bucharesti will be organizing the finals for this year, I am asking for a few donations..
Sure, just give me your password to your bank account!
My team is really doing my head in.....am I good to go or should use my transfer this week (i.e.Kelly)
Krul (Vorm)
Kelly Simpson Richardson (Enrique) (BAE)
Silva Walters Dempsey Bale (Sigurddsson)
RVP Aguero (C) Sturridge
I have 1.7 in the bank and 1 ft!
Thanks all!
Richardson is from which team?
Sorry...thats Richards!
I would do Sturridge > Ba myself (or Papiss if you can't afford Ba)
This ^
Wow....by the sounds of it I really should get Ba in. Even though Sturridge himself has decent fixtures!?!?!
Between McClean, Siggy and Dempsey...is it crazy to bench Dempsey?
BIG EMERGENCY:
WHATS up with Kolarov? injured of not? because ive Clichy
I ALSO HAVE DZEKO? trade him or keep him? to Sturridge or Balotelli?
Gee, Kolarov, Clichy and Dzeko. Awhile between transfers or differentials?
i got dzeko after balotelli suspensions as diferencial... got me good points..
and got clichy to get city defense coverage and he was the chepeast and he started almost every game
Great to see something different rather than
same guy
same guy, same guy, same guy
same guy, same guy, same guy, same guy
same guy, same guy, same guy
with same guy, same guy, same guy, and same guy on the bench
I see that the general consensus on the City forums is that Zabs will start this w/e over Richards. I'm inclined to agree
S'later, Micah. Welcome back, Vincent
in those forums they say: clichy or kolarov? dzeko or balo or none?
Seem to be leaning towards Kolarov.
Balotelli and Dzeko seems an absolute coin toss though 😕 They were both rested midweek so either (or both - though less likely) could start
Hi Pork Pie - have you seen Snuff Box? Nowhere near as good as Dark Places definitely but worth a viewing. Matt Berry's in it.
No I've not, will give it a browse on Youtube.
My TV-watching has been dominated by the Wire in recent months. Oh God it's incredible
So many people say the Wire's brilliant - i've been trying to resist (it's not really my thankg) but maybe i'll give it a try.
Obviously been fearing the Zab for a while with him coming in last week. Firstly, is Richards first choice anymore? Second, what reasons have they identified for Zabs playing this week? Rotation? Rest? Tactical? Injury? I figured perhaps Mancini is giving Richards a break after his Porto injury.
I fear this too but ain't got the funds to upgrade to kompany and I hate sideways moves. Richards could easily start and play well. If you look at the games he's missed, they're usually away from home.
Personally I was fairly confident Richards would start this week and I saw the home/away stats thing showing something like 9/10 starts at home and quite a few for Zab away. At the end of the day Richards has the most minutes behind only Lescott and Kompany and I can't see him becoming a squad player. I can't afford many more restings though.
I think the wider point is that if he's rested for this PL match too, that's the second in the row and you can question whether it is resting...
Yeah I noticed King Cabbage saying this last night. It's a fair enough point, but I fear that's more correlation than causation tbh.
Besides, Richards played midweek, picked up a niggle, and City should have too much quality for Bburn even w/o their first choice RB.
He may well play, but I've got enough money and no pressing transfers, so Kompany it is
it's not even a niggle since he continued thunderin forward for 50 mins after pickin it up
Did he? Fair enough I didn't see the match and just went by posts on here. I'm still leaning towards Zabs starting though, and of course we're going to have this vague rotation worry every GW now by the looks of it.
Normally I'm transfer averse, keeping players if at all possible, but as I say I've got the money for Komp and would just like a nailed on City defender I can stick in my XI and forget about.
In your situation it's probably worth it, at least you have security with Kompany.
Richards did keep playing after his injury but he does strike me as injury prone and I do wonder if keeping him in the side is going to pay off or not. I really do need an attacking defender though and he's one of the finest.
Yeah that's the great shame. He's an excellent fantasy player, and is definitely first choice RB. It's just that City have such incredible squad depth that Mancini can afford to rotate everyone, Kompany and Hart are the only exceptions
after thoroughly discussin the merits/demerits of raylor over santon etc, and decidin to keep valencia through injury.. i've decided to post my team and question to the forum
Krul
Vermaelen Richards Evans
Silva Bale Mclean Dempsey
Rvp Aguero(c) Ba
Mignolet Caulker Kelly Valencia
0.2 1 FT
since i've decided to keep valencia i wont have to waste a in my attackin eight for a while now.. so do i
a)save transfer
b)Vermaelen to Raylor/Santon (which one)
the money will be used to do aguero to rooney in two weeks and both players give me teh requird amount
Scout picks predictions?
I think R.Taylor, Mata, Silva, Aguero, Ba, Rooney will all be in there. What will be the more random picks?
Play Dempsey or McClean this week?
I'd play Dempsey. It's the American way.
I'm considering Raylor, but Raylor's not worth bringing in at this stage anymore is he? Surely we can't count on him to play in midfield with the return of Tiote, and Santon has his defence spot?
dont forget the return of set piece man cabaye.. which is raylor's trump card
And Cabaye back too, even more congested! Surely that makes Raylor even less likely to play?
If r.taylor plays, he plays RM, simple as that. Cabaye and Tiote will def be CM. So it comes down to whether he'll be in front of Guthrie, Obertan and Ben Arfa. I'd be most worried about Guthrie keeping his place as he's been playing ok, however I'm pretty condfident Taylor will start tomorrow. Trouble is that there's plenty of options for that spot so coule be the first to be subbed if things not going right or lose his place if pardew wanting to try something different.
I'd say that's a pretty accurate assessment so it's whether you want to take the risk. Could pay off handsomly but could also crash and burn. I'm stuck with the same decision and still don't know what to do for best!
Yep. Have you got him yet?
If you had him I'd keep but to bring him in? Not unless you had lots of transfers...
I've not had him in my team yet, just have a horrible feeling as soon as I get him he'll be dropped to the bench.
Same, the fact is that he's been punching above his weight for ages but the long-term factors and analysis doesn't lie, positionally and personnel wise his days in the team are numbered.
I think I have finally decided on my team for the week:
Krul (Mig)
Shawx Richards Santon (Kelly Caulker)
Bale Mata Dempsey McClean Silva
RVP KUN(C) (Graham)
No BA could kill me, but I'm catching the Last Straw to survive
That's a sick midfield....Richards isn't a guaranteed start on your backline. If you downgrade say, Mata, you could afford to upgrade your back line or Graham...I just don't think Chelsea is in a spot to yield great points, but they could prove me wrong...
Cisse is known for is goalgetter skills. I think Newcastle brought him in for that reason, with the intention to make Ba more of a playing striker. Sure, he'll still hammer in goals, but I think it will be more spread now in Newcastle. 😉
Before, you knew if there ever was a pling in a Newcastle match, Ba would be involved 2 out of 3 times.
So I've started a new team just for the fun of it. Wanted to get in differentials and see how that would work out against my top side. Was pretty pleased with the result, got a lot out of the budget I think, but then came the injuries:
Krul (Al Habsi)
Kompany Raylor Evra (Rangel, Kelly)
Dempsey Yaya Cleverly (inj) Modric (ill) (McClean)
Cisse Aguero Torres (inj)
Especially the attack there had brilliant fixtures the next 2-3 gameweeks at least.
I'm now considering:
Krul (Al Habsi)
Richards Raylor JEvans
Dempsey Yaya Young Modric (McClean)
Cisse Aguero Suarez
What do you think? Don't want the 40 % ownership guys on this team. I want to see how a team a little out of the preffered will do against the expected best. 😉 Suggestions for other differentials are appreciated.
I like it, it's the differential express.
What would you do about the injuries? Stick or toss?
'Arry said Modric picked up an injury and is fighting through it, Richards isn't a guaranteed start, but the rest of that second squad looks good...for differential purposes.
The one without Torres, injured or not.
