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…

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

    So my big hitting midfielders are currently Bale, Young, Dempsey

    And my watchlist consists of Lamps, Gerrard, Silva, Walcott, Tony V.

    I'm happy to give Dempsey a couple more weeks as his fixtures stay decent. But I'm on the verge of doing Young to Tony V (any reason why I shouldn't?) and am also considering Bale to Lamps or Gerrard if he doesn't pull his finger out. So if Bale doesn't pick up V Stoke, Lamps or Gerrard? And is Tony V a no brainer?

    Cheers lads 🙂

      Keep Bale imo. His fixtures until the end are awesome. Only go without if you have Adebayor as cover
      Dempsey is good for two weeks more maybe, but you could always take him out for a week unless you lose loads?

        Yeah, I think I will do Suarez -> Adebayor after the Liverpool vs Wigan game and this'll mean I don't necessarily have to get Bale. If Bale does pick up his form, I can do Dempsey -> Bale. The only problem I have at the moment is my defence, no value in it.

              Around 20,000th is a pickle? 😛 It's not too bad though. Lots of Fulham lads going on but after the United game they have a couple of good fixtures. I'm not convinced by Miyaichi as a prospect just yet. The rest are solid enough (if Ba can find some goals) But feel free to ignore all of this, you are 80000 places above me 😛

    Probably a commone question this week ... Silva or Dempsey out for Valencia? Money is not a big issue. I will wait on City's game before making the move, but have been waiting for a return to health for Valencia ... and obviously that has happened. I know he might not start every game, but I'm still getting him in. Thoughts?

    Sorry to repost, and thanks to all who responded last time.

    I’ve decided I’m going to double up on Liverpool defence because they have great fixtures for the remainder of the season except for Chelsea(H) in GW37 and also my rank isn’t all that.

    Which one of these do you prefer?
    Krul to Reina
    or
    Senderos/Williamson to Enrique.

    P.S. Feel free to talk me out of doubling up on Liverpool.

      If your link is accurate, I think Reina. Since you have Sorenson you'd either have to play Krul every week or make another keeper transfer later so you might as well splurge on a goalie and play him every week. I would also suggest that playing Chelsea at home is not a terrible fixture for a keeper.

        I'm not convinced, his form is pretty dire ATM and the last time he hit a barren run it lasted for an age. What about Balo instead?

      😆
      Believe it or not I'm captaining James McClean next gameweek. (serious). Partly because im too cocky and my rival is 120 points behind. But captain Evans sounds like a good shout too.

      Benching RVP would be legendary, but I'd need balls for that. Unfortunately, i just lost them.

    Brought in Ashley Young last GW. Waste of time now with Valencia back? or keep hold?

      KEEP! He will be fresh and raring to go (h) to Fulham. That will be a massacre!

      One of the two wing places looks nailed on now by Valencia. I reckon Young will play the next game, but overall Valencia is safer and cheaper

    hey guys, which looks like the best combination starting around gw 30 or 31?

    a) bae + 6.8 or less forward (probably yak)
    b) ade and 4.0 or less defender (not sure who…)
    c) odemwingie and 5.8 or less defender (probably kaboul or king or maybe caulker)

    Adding in the points I'll get from Siggy and Simpson coming off the bench I have 45 points so far with 4 to play, and I already have a green arrow at the moment with 26 points so I am very happy 🙂

      Doesn't work like that really though. if Liverpool and City do well the average could be around 50-55
