The Big Numbers – Gameweek Twenty Seven

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.

    Hello top 10k, it's been too long!

    Now: Sacrifice Aguero/Sess or Sturridge/Silva to get the Rooney in?

      Granny had no right to complain, I have had my sub keeper save a penalty on 6 separate occasions this season, Ruddy, Foster x 2, Vorm, Krul, Mignolet...

    Right, I've decided, provisionally upon this:

    Krul, Vorm
    Santon, Verm, Bardsley, GJohnson, Sendy
    Silva, Bale, Demps, Moses, McClean
    Aguero, RVP, Pog

    0.2M in the bank, 1FT

    Aguero and Verm > Rooney and Enrique (4 point hit)

    Then I can take out a Pool defender the following week, which one depends on funds and what transfers I want to make.

    Sound good?

    To those considering Rooney (myself included).

    Bilbao game is Thursday 21:05, and Ferguson will probably want a healthy lead going into a tough away trip to the Basque. Rooney could play, and I think it could be Hernandez/Berbatov against WBA. We *should* have enough to beat them at home, although they are in fine form. I'd wait until Thursday night before making a decision.

    Thing is Rooney is going up, and if he smashes WBA I'll lose out heavily as my main rival has him, and i don't think Aguero will replicate his debut performance.
