Scarred by the resting of City duo Sergio Aguero and David Silva, Gameweek 27 will go down as one of the key periods in the Fantasy season as vice captains kicked in to gift or rob Fantasy managers of spoils. Sunday’s events didn’t fail to add their own twists with red cards, missed penalties and the return to form of Clint Demspey alongside the extraordinary contribution of Pavel Pogrebnyak.

Our members can now pick through all the statistics from the Gameweek and, as always, we’ve picked out some eye-catching numbers to digest. Of course, we’ve also included our prediction of where the Fantasy Premier League bonus will go…

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

    I'd like to have Enrique, but who should I replace?

    Vorm - Schwarzer
    Kompany - BAE - Evans - Simpson - Kelly

      Got that same defence. I really want to keep BAE for those alternating home games...he will rack up a few cleanies. Simpson could be the one to lose.

      Depends on how long Kelly is out for me, if he's due a return shortly then I'd suggest BAE unless you're likely to lose a load of cash on him, in which case I'd hold.

    Apologies, bottom of last page:

    Trying to figure out if now’s the time to use the wildcard. Reasons being:

    - Currently have no United coverage who have great fixtures upcoming
    - Currently have no coverage for the EVE/LIV double gameweek
    - Would like to get Pogrebnyak in given his form and reasonable fixtures

    The only reason I can think to hold is for any potential double gameweeks which may not even occur. Thoughts?

            thought about Odem but 3 of their next 4 away are tough United, City and Pool are not as easily pushed aside as Chelsea. Other than Pool and United no striker has fixtures that really stand out and Welbeck is too much off a risk IMO.

      Can you manage the other transfers without doing the keeper swap? If you can, then keep Vorm. No reason for taking a hit for a keeper change, as Mignolet might just as well let in as many goals as either Krul or Vorm.

    Thoughts on these transfers for a 8 pt hit

    Richards ➡ Enrique
    Aguero ➡ Suarez
    Sessegnon ➡ Dempsey

    Reasoning: I can see Liverpool keeping clean at least once in the DGW and there is always the chance Richards will be rotated or he might even be dropped now. Can't afford Skrtel
    I want a differential and I have attacking City coverage in Silva already so I feel Aguero is expendale
    Sessegnon to Dempsey. No explanation needed

    It would leave my team as:

    Krul
    Enrique, Senderos, Evans
    Silva, Bale, Valencia, Dempsey
    RVP, Suarez, Ba.

    Sorry if already asked a thousand times but if you have BA as captain, will -1 become -2?

    Going to feel seriously hard done by if Balotelli doesn't get the 3 baps (looks like he might get NONE?!) when bringing him in was a GREAT move and I knew it was.

          Because he is Mancini's first pick imo and a quality player.

            I believe Balotelli reckons he is far better than he actually is. Missed some easy chances, and wouldn't hold a candle to Tevez.

              The only fault he has at the moment is his temperament. He is a class player and going to be a prolific striker if he sorts his emotional retardedness out.

      Roughly the same points as Dempsey VC. Gotta love goalscoring midfielders
