The second Big Numbers of the Gameweek draws out the notable statistics from the remaining five matches, with our prediction of where the Fantasy Premier League bonus points will be heading.
Is it worth a 4 point hit to get in Valencia and Taylor(Swansea) for Sess and Jones?
or is it better to wait till i have the 2 free transfers next week? cus i feel Val is a must now but will he get rested every second game??Open Controls
either of these moves worth it this week?
Skrtel to Verm
or
Dempsey and Taiwo to Andrews and verm (Andrews to free up funds to upgrade elsewhere, Siggy will be starting every week now anyway)Open Controls
I am desperately disappointed with 3pts from Skrtel and BAE combined, especially with Simpson on bench.
That said I am trying not to knee jerk towards Verm. If you want to make a defensive change Santon should go as he has lost his place? Taiwo can be bench fodder for me I think.Open ControlsTaiwo 3 weeks on the bench, 3 assists. Seriosuly peeved at that guy. But yeah Santon needs to go for me. Can't afford Verm without selling Skrtel or taking a hit.
Open Controls
WBA look like they will be rotating players so I'd leave Andrews alone.
Taiwo is a funny one. I got rid of him a few weeks ago, but the guy appears to be a bit of an assist machine. At the end of the day, he may be worth holding on to. He got you 4 point tonight and there's very few defenders can get you 4 pts after conceding 2 goals.Open Controlshe got me nothing, he's 3rd sub 🙠Have him first next week, not sure I can find a home for him. I need a mid around that price to fund other moves, other than maybe Surman (and Norwich are no better for rotation), McArthur (awful fixtures) and Buzaky 9not nailed-on) I don't see mnay better options unless I stretch up to Ryo
Open Controls
Surman can probably be the exception to Lamberts rotation policy. Check his playing history.
Open ControlsI can't, the info button doesn't work remember. What about Ryo Speedwagon? Home to Rovers (them of 2 consecutive Cs)
Open ControlsSurman has started something like 15 of the last 16 games
Open Controlsand has Wolves at home.
Open Controls
Ryo is another option but he is no better than Moses imo. More expensive than Surman too
Open Controlsagreed, see below though
Current team
Mignolet
Evans, Skrtel, Caulker
McClean, Siggy, Bale. Young
Ba, RvP, Ba
Schwarzer, Taiwo, Santon, Dempsey
Was planning to sell Bale in GW31, could bring it forward to have Climt in time for GW31 instead and keep him and bench Ba.Open Controls
Surman and Ruddy are the only Norwich players worth consdering for a FPL team IMO.
Open Controlsbut is Clint and Santon to Verm and Surman worth it this week for 4. I'd end up benching Ba for Verm, and maybe McClean as well.
Open ControlsIt is all down to how badly you want Verm JK....
If you get Surman then you have to start him, I would be inclined to bench Ba tbh. Risky I knowOpen ControlsI could sell Bale, which I was gonna do next week anyway and then I don't have to worry about it but I;d still have to bench Ba.
Open Controls
No its not. Why take a hit? Save a transfer and do it next week
Open Controlscould sell Bale instead. So Clint stays on bench as is able to start next week before being moved on. But yeah doing it next week could work, but I want to sell Ba for Ade as well.
Open Controls
Hi Nomar. Brilliant come back from your team. Congrats and enjoy. Hopefully it's the start of something good.
Open Controls
Bardsley -> Verm and Silva to Siggi this week.
And then Ba -> Ade next?
All free transfers.Open Controls
So frustrated with Vermaelen. Had him since GW21 or so, on winter wildcard, stuck with him for ages and then downgraded him to afford Rooney for Aguero a couple of weeks ago.
2 gameweeks out of my team, two goals, a clean sheet and 4-5 bonus points, grrrr!!Open Controls
Those that watched the game, how did Silva look tonight? It's either him or Demps out for Valencia. I watched extended highlights of the Fulham v Swansea game and even though Fulham were crap and defended atrociously Dempers still looked a real threat, so I'm leaning towards Silva out atm.
Open Controls
Bit weary. Tomorrow. 🙂
Open Controlsnight dude, top stuff tonight 🙂
Open Controls
So is the FPL site broken? Bit like my brain...43 points..puke.
Open Controlswell the info button doesn't work this much we know.
Open Controls
Yup, damn site has me benching Siggurdson this week. Must be F-ing broken 'cause only a schmuck would sit Siggy.
Right? ... Broken? ... Hello?
It's like trading out Berbatov last year the *very same week* as when he scored 5. Five.
.
I still wake up in a cold sweat over that. True story.Open ControlsDo not remind me of that 🙠ðŸ™
Open Controls
Sorry for repost, but am keen for one or two more thoughts on this. Can't get settled on final eleven. Thanks to those who replied to me so far =o)
Who to captain this week: Roonpig or RVP ? Slightly less worry with the latter and more nailed-on BP’s, IMO.
Which to play from Simpson (wba), Demps (man u) or Pog (man u) ?
Thanks.Open Controls
I've gone for RVP, but it's a coin-toss!
Open ControlsCheers. Who would you play of those three, mate? Three out of three that previously replied said Simpson. Fulham probs won't score, so hope for a cleanie for Newcastle, or Simpson assist 😕
Open Controls
Do you have both RVP and Rooney, yeah? Have had it on Rooney for past few days. Am starting to swing the other way...
Open Controls
Enter the EARLY DEADZONE (Generally that means if your British its past your bedtime 😉 )
Open Controls
I feel like Christopher Walken.
Open Controls
i feel like walken over to my bed
Open ControlsYou need more cowbell?
Open Controls
Knee well and truly jerked.
Young > Valencia
Senderos > Verminator
Hoping for some price rises!Open ControlsGood transfers, imo.
Open Controls
One free transfer what do ye lads think of Ba -> Suarez?
Vorm
Evans, Kompany, Enrique
Bale, Gylfi, McClean, Valencia
Rvp, Rooney, Ba
Dempsey, Simpson, Kelly
Wigan at home followed by nice fixtures, I reckon Suarez could finish the season strongly. Maybe he's a warm weather player 🙂
Alternatively I might hold off for a week and get Adebayor.Open Controls
Silva --> Valencia
Richards --> 8.6M Defender
Looks good?Open ControlsJust got beaten by a dead team (no TFs since GW1) in the FFS reserve league...how depressing.
To rub powdered sea salt flakes into the gaping wound...Downing's 2 assists did it for him....I can't decide whether the agony or the irony is more painful.
Shitty GW....be gone...Open ControlsSilva.
Open Controls
is baines still putting in enough deliveries to warrant the investment? i see drenthe is startign a few, is he taking the setpieces over baines?
Open Controls
I'd get Vermaelen for now, Baines has good fixtures right at the end - something like GW35 or GW36 onwards, I would check but FPL is crap.
Open Controlsi'm seeing baines as my potential differential as his fixtures are quite tidy. i agree verm is probs better til that time comes as arsenal have very favourable fixtures as well. will prob go with that, cheers!
Open Controls
Baines is sooo 2010-2011. Wait 'til next year when he's ~6.0 or so.
There's no one on the other end of those crosses. He's a hero for staying there.Open Controlsvery good point. will prob steer clear of him
Open Controls
Silva--->Walcott (done Yaya--->Valencia)
OR
Ba---->Yakubu, Balotelli (worth gamble or stupid?) or P.Cisse
OR
Taiwo --->any cheap defenderOpen Controls
Should I play
Caulker & Siggy over Enriq & McClean this week??Open Controls
TEVEZ IN BIATCHES:
Please Rate
------Vorm (Krul)--------
Richards—Vermaelan---Evans (Kelly, Caulker)
--Valencia—Silva—Bale—Siggy---(Fergusonn)
---Rooney---RVP---TevezOpen Controls
Great result for us gooners, but 12 points from my 5 remaining players is quite frankly a load of poo.
Unless Suarez goes nuts against Wigan he is gone next week - what do people think about:
Surman & Suarez -> Bale & Pog - I'd play Pog for NOR and bol, and then look to ditch one or both of Dempsey & Pog in GW33.
Migs, Bogdan
JEvans, Skrtel, Enrique, Caulker, Shotton
Dempsey, Walcott, Valencia, Siggy, Surman
RVP, Rooney, Suarez
Bank 2.5m, 2 free transfers for next weekOpen Controls
I hate Suarez and think he is an awful fantasy prospect.........but then again pretty much all third options strikers are, it seems.
Pog is also just about as good as any. Tough choice, for sure, but I like this.Open Controls
But you simply can't sell now
Open ControlsYep, he's fairly cheap, nailed on and has 2 good fixtures next. Struggling for inspiration with the 3rd striker, and in the 6.6m or less category (what I'd have left if I get Bale in for Surman), he seems the best short term solution. Depending on how Ba and Ade are doing by GW33 he could -> one of them then with a Dempsey/Skrtel downgrade.
Open Controls
I like it, but to offer a different perspective ...
I'm not so sure Bale will come good. Maybe a Mata/Pog or somesuch? Then Dempsey out, as you say, later.Open ControlsWow Eric, you really don't think Spurs will come good with those fixtures? Bale has scored very well and is often involved with much of what Spurs do. Say what you will about them: its a very offensive side.
Mata has been inconsistent at best. I don't see how Bale isn't better all around.Open Controls+1
Bale till the end! He's fast becoming a wee differential in my league!Open ControlsHey, I'll probably keep him ... I'm just offering a counter-point.
Tot has been playing pretty poor recently ... even against Utd, when tey were playing great footy, they didn't capitalize.
Do I think Bale's quality enough to produce? Well sure. But, at his price-point, do I think money might be equally/better used? Maybe.Open Controls
Is Clichy locked in now?
Open Controls
can someone tell me who is gonna rise/fall tonight, i dont have access.
Open ControlsWilliams and Sinclair might go up. As for fallers, gawd knows there are loads. Taiwo, Agger and Zamora are a few
Open Controls
Team at the moment for GW30 (1 free transfer, 3.0m in the bank):
Vorm(EVE)
Evans(FUL) Simpson(wba) Enrique(WIG)
McClean(QPR) Valencia(FUL) Bale(che) Pilkington(WOL)
Rooney(FUL) Suarez(WIG) RVP(AVL)
subs - Krul, Dempsey, Taiwo, Kelly
You reckon i can get away with this team? Would quite like 2 free next week to sort out my defence but can my team cope? Some potential moves -
A. Pilkington > Sigurdsson
B. Taiwo > Vermaelen
C. Taiwo > Skrtel
D. Pilkington & Taiwo > Sigurdsson & Vermaelen/Skrtel (4 point hit)Open Controlsthink your ok for this week/
Am debating a 4 point hit to sell Bale and Santon to Verm and Surman (i will get Ade in GW31 anyway) to fund upgrades elsewhere? What do you think?Open ControlsI'm not a fan of selling Bale personally and it would appear that it is all to get Vermaelen. Not worth it imo
Open ControlsAND for a 4 point hit, shit i forgot about that. Definitely not
Open Controlsit's not to get Verm, was selling Bale next week anyway and getting Ade then Lamps in for Clint.
Open ControlsIt's to get Surman?! lol only messing. I won't be selling Bale anytime soon so...
Open Controlsmy reason for selling Bale is that i don't think I need Bale and Ade. Not many better options that Ade out there, but the likes of Theo, Lamps, Mata and Gerrard could easily match Gareth.
Open Controls
why is everyone thinkin lampard is a good buy? he's old fat and slow. for his price you can get practically anyone. forego fatboy. get someone who'll actually score points. mata is infinitely better
Open Controls
Yep, you can cope, although Taiwo -> Vermaelen is mighty tempting. You have to keep Pilks for WOL really otherwise A) is a good trade too. I'd probably save the freebie and then look to ship Suarez & Pilks out next week. Taiwo and Kelly are huge rotation risks, but I'd prioritise transfers now to bring in the big guns.
Open Controlswhat do you think of mine Jinswick?
Open ControlsI don't think Kelly is a rotation risk. He seems very secure at LB. Taiwo on the other hand is a waste of space. Just was a low priority to sell but seeing as he might be dropping in price AGAIN it may force me to act.
Open Controlserrr RB even, not LB
Open Controls
How i feel right now 😉
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i614At1BhE0Open ControlsCongrats mate, well deserved. Your maverick transfer/handband sealed the deal
Open ControlsHaunted, stoppage time , i nearly creamed myself when it went in. We did have a deal though, hopefully the football Gods will shine down on Ewood park and keep ye up 🙂
Open ControlsThat would be grand!
Open ControlsI think you guys are 'safe as house' mate. Blackburn score goals.
MIghty close in our Bale/Mata wager - should only be a few points in it after Bale's inevitable BPs tonight!!Open Controls
Paddy's weekend and all. I would say you will pass me out in the rankings now easily.
Open Controls
Just off the top of my head I tried to think of players from teams who have everything to fight for between now and the end of the season. Also I based it on importance to thier respective teams and likely DGW's etc. I have no idea whether this team is affordable.
Bogdan
-
Taiwo Vermaelen Evans Evra
-
Valencia Walcott Bale Lampard
-
Yakubu RVP (C) for the rest of season.
-
Subs Ruddy Miyaichi Kompany D Cisse
Any better suggestions? Yes I know I left Rooney out!Open ControlsI left moses out as well I can't think of any more obvious ones!
Open ControlsTaiwo!?
Open ControlsAttacking threat...it was a choice between himself of ward.
I suppose you could fit Kaboul there instead on reflection!:)Open Controls
No City?
Open ControlsI have Kompany on the bench in the "hypothetical fight for your lives team" injury doubt!
Open Controls
Bogdan / Ruddy is probably the worst keeper pairing I've ever seen on here 🙂
Open Controls
right, I'm off to bed to sleep on my transfers (or lack thereof) see you tomorrow folks
Open Controls
Morning all,
I'm supprised to see FPL hasn't updated yet. Do ranks and averages not come in til the morning?Open ControlsI hope the system crashes and all points are null and void this week 🙂
Open Controls
seriously fpl needs to upgrade their website... so shitt compared to other fantasy websites.. we are in 2012 and it still takes hours to update the rank.. wtf
Open Controls
not really such a huge deal to wait til morning is it?
Open Controls
any chance for rvp to get bonus point?
Open Controls
I really want to have a massive rant about Lampard......
Open ControlsI really want to hear it.
Open Controls
Thoughts on a third striker cheap striker?
Currently have:
Bale, Dempsey, Valencia, Siggurdsson, Moses
RvP, Rooney, Graham
looking to replace Graham next week, as I don't like doubling up on Swans attack.
Or for that price is it worth it?
Trying to keep it cheap so I can do Dempsey > Lampard. Have 3.2 mil in the bank.
Thanks guys!Open ControlsGotta be Yakubu, right?
