Four games down, five to go. A fractured Gameweek rolled on with a convincing win for United at Wolves and a not-so emphatic performance and victory for top four hopefuls Newcastle. Our Members can dip into all the data from the weekend’s games and read on for our selection of the notable numbers so far. As usual, we’ve also thrown in our prediction for the Fantasy Premier League bonus points…
Im up to 62k overall,is this good for my first season in fantasy football?
Open Controlsi have to say this site has helped a great deal!
Open Controls
It's good for this time of the season. Top 10K is achievable from when you are.
Open Controls
It is good but aim for top 10K if u use this site
Open Controls
8k in my first one, but the numbers going up every year and people getting better have made it hard to keep it up. It's a hard year to join in, but this site has probably helped you a lot!
Open ControlsCheers guys

If Mourinho wins La Liga and the CL how big will his head get? No seriously that would be massive. To keep instilling that winning mentality wherever he goes and deliver countless trophies is incredible.
How does it compare to Fergies legendary reign at United? To keep replicating success in all these different countries.Open Controls
All on a shoestring budget too.......oh wait!
Open Controls
Need your help please! got two free transfers, which should i go for?
A) Siggi and Enrique in for McClean and Skrtel
B) Siggi and Drogba in for Dempsey and Ba
C) Siggi, Walcott and Balotelli in for McClean, Silva and Ba (4 point hit)
D) Something else…
Vorm, Mignolet
Richards, Evans, Skrtel, Williamson, Caulker
Dempsey, Silva, Bale, Valencia, McClean
RVP, Rooney, Ba
cheers!Open Controls
Would it be suitable to have possibly 4 big defenders at this stage ❓
Open Controls
am thinking I might aim for Evans, Skrtel and Verm plus Caulker, may get a cheap and nasty 5th as I have 4 very good ones there.
Open Controls
Jevans, Caulker, Kelly, Simpson, Shotton?
The new Power 5.Open ControlsSounds a bit much tbh. I'm happy going with only Skrtel just now and that's only because of the fixtures he has coming up.
I would like Kompany back in when he is fit though. Lescott a good alternative
Verm looks great when he is in but it's an awful lot when Arsenal struggle for CS and you end up disappointed if he doesn't score.
Evans is all you need at United.
Spurs full-backs are too expensive imo. Kaboul @ £5.5 is good value.
I like the thought of having Ivanovic. Luiz is more for the CL and will rotate with Cahill so avoid those 2. Terry has the goal potential but a bit to expensive.
Would love to have Baines as he plays like a midfielder but not at that ridiculous price.Open Controls
Up to 425 in the world wooohooo*
*I know these posts are extremely annoyingOpen ControlsEnter the Elite 63 seeing you missed out on the FPL Open. 😉
Open Controls
nice. where do you think you can end up? gotta aim for top 100
Open ControlsCheers all. Want to get top 100, but need to stay in top 500 first. Probably won't be there by the end of the GW
Open Controls

Congratulation from me
Open Controls
Yay up to 7, 623 this week
Still got McLean, Bale and RvP to play, plus Siggy's points to go. Reckon I break 7k this week. Onwards and Upwards.Open Controls
Anybody made an equal or better comeback so far this season:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/317015/history/Open Controls
Open ControlsWhat gameweek do you think the comeback started?
Open ControlsGW3 was my lowest rank, so I guess technically then. As this is my 6th season I have realised one thing, I struggle massively to the season with a good scoring team. I always start really badly, and when it starts to become clearer which players are showing form, which teams are showing form I seem to improve from whenever that point is.
Last year was my highest ever rank and I had a great start with Adam, Carroll and the Chelsea contingent. Reached 43rd in the world by November. But every other year I play catch up, this year being the worst start in 6 seasons.Open Controls
- Open Controls
gw 7 i was just over 1.2 million
now 4 700..so yeah 😉Open Controls
Inspirational 😉 Gonna try for something similar myself...
Open Controls
Nice mate. Went from 1.2mill in gw 4 to 2300 (atm).
Open Controls
Nani to Valencia - no brainer?
If I get anymore injuries during the week my bench is decent and I can always take a 4 pointer if need be.Open Controls
Anyone know how many people entered the Paddy Power Cup thing (entered for the 1st time) and how difficult it'll be to qualify?
Open Controls
I made the stupidest transfer in history in fantasy MLS.
I transferred out a player before he even played today, and he just scored a goal.
At least I'll get the points this week.
Still wish I kept him for next week 🙁Open ControlsI haven't even looked this week tbh
Oh well 2 FTs for me next week.Open Controls
anyone else chasing and now plans to transfer in best potential scorers in each gameweek.
e.g. maybe Gerrard in (C) next week.Open Controls
I believe there's never been such a mixed bag of a gameweek as this one. Glorious hauls are then balanced out by shoddy transfers, bench points and underwhelming captaincies.
Open Controls
When there's a United score of 5-0 and none of them are Rooney, you know it's a weird week.
Open Controls
Anyone think that at a much cheaper price of 9.9 million, and with Rooney playing so deep, not being involved so much, that Hernandez is a viable option?
Open ControlsIf by Hernandez you mean Welbeck then yes.
Open ControlsI think he drops deep when a) the game is like a training match and welbeck/hernandez can do the bombing forward or b) when United need to protect a lead in a big game. Mostly though you will see him leading the line. Look at his finish v WBA last week playing on the shoulder of the defender then bursting forward to score. Today was the easiest game United will play all season. It's not reflective of how they play.
Open ControlsIt was just one freak game. Rooney will always be the better option overall
Open Controls
i fecked up!!! made a transfer lastnight & after looking @ my team & fixtures i've come up with a better plan that doesn't involve who i brought in... suck it up time & see what happens!
Open Controls
i asked this earlier but i think the embarrassment was too much....
if you have Siggy as 1st sub who did you play ahead of him..i went for Mclean 😕Open ControlsGive Ba one more week? May not be able to watch Super Sunday if I removed him...
Open ControlsCurrently on my bench. Waiting for a striker to inspire me
Open Controls
'fraid so - gone from GW1 OR 1705,542 to GW 29 32,432
Open ControlsIf you think that's bad...
Open Controls
What I wouldn't give for a wc right now
Open Controls
same here
oh, hang on
i still have one 😀Open Controls
i'll be really pissed if kompany plays midweek
just want caulkers pointsOpen ControlsWhat if Kompany gets a CS?
Open Controlsi'll be amazed against chelsea
Open Controls
I'd get Simpson off my bench too. I think City will keep a clean sheet if Kompany does play though so I wouldn't be too disappointed. Would save a lot of worrying though.
Open Controls
Reply fail to Mighty
Open Controls
Whats wrong with TotalFPL numbers? Most transferred in player is Danny Simpson?
Open Controls
Dempsey or Silva- whom should I take out for Siggy?

At last - finally gone top of one of my mini leagues. its been a long old slog this season
Open ControlsHutton Lahm - Money helps but it doesn't buy success. Mourinho could have spunked money on the wrong players like Liverpool did with Carroll or the way Chelsea have in the past. Or not got the players playing for him to in order to win doubles and trebles.
Look at Inter before and after Mourinho. They had great personnel but nowhere near the same determination and focus to be winners. Brought them their first CL title since 1965.
Made Chelsea one of the most consistent teams in English football and a prominent feature in CL football.
Won the CL along with countless other titles at Porto and now has a 10 point lead on what we are calling the greatest club side ever.
Takes more than money to achieve that.Open Controls
+ 42 Monet can buy you talent but it can't buy you a team.
Open ControlsTrue, no I do think he has a certain something that obviously works on players. If he managed City they would be top for sure.
Inter are an odd case, as they were ok before and so bad after, he seemed to find the only way they could play well.
He did spend a lot at Chelsea, and bought players he knew, so didnt waste it , as you say like Liverpool, and Chelsea on Torres
I think The Porto CL win is the most impressive though, Unheard of really in this day and age
He's just a bit of an arrogant twat!
Love him to come back to the Prem though. Spurs would be good, but not Chelsea (never go back)Open Controls
