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.
if Ryan is still aboot; sorry for having beaten you again, last time was pretty lucky on my part re. suarez cap and this week you were hoisted by your own petard. expected to lose both matches but fairly fluked it. saw you post last week and you show nothing but grace in defeat. hope you win both your remaining matches and we both progress. kinda feel guilty for having left you down near bottom with some unforeseen pointage( suarez, siggurdson). and for anyone who sees this post as being pathetically obsequious, go screw yoself. 🙂

How in the world was the Essien incident NOT a penalty? Looked exactly like the one GIVEN to Chelsea against Lescott last time they played.
Open Controls
to put it simply, some people don't know the rules. they bang on about deliberate and not deliberate. i'd hazard a guess that only 1% of all handballs are deliberate.
arms/hands down by your side = no penalty
hands out or up (and therefore unfairly making yourself a bigger target) = penalty.Open Controls
That's true ... but I've seen Terry NOT have a penalty vs. Utd when his hand was out and blocked a shot on goal.
'Natural position' and 'ball-to-hand' seems to rule the roost in the box, from observation.
Mind, I haven't seen the Essien handball and have no opinion on that.
Besides that City cheats to win 😉Open Controlshis hand wasn't out. his arm was by his side. at worst he leaned into the shot slightly
Open Controlshonestly, it's a massively inaccurate recollection of the event.
Open Controls
you've seen Terry not giving away a penalty even though it looked like one?

How about if I have 3 player from......
Arsenal : Rvp Walcott Ver

will vermaelen rise in price tonight? thanks
Open ControlsIs Rooney playing deep again? Didn't watch the game
Open ControlsUnited's third most forward player: second most forward central player.
Open ControlsThank you!
Armband back on him. Thought I read on here that he was playing deepOpen Controls
There's the 'Makele' position and there's the 'Rooney'
He's not playing as deep as mid-season, but he's 'behind' Welbz/Javier.Open ControlsCheers!

bit risky to captaining him..but i can imagine, Young & Nani will comeback nextweek..so Rooney can play well ~~

Very quiet on the transfers tonight! Not much happening even Silva will keep his price for one more day!
No many impressive hauls to start the bandwagons.Open ControlsVermaelen?
How you doing in the FMLS league?Open ControlsNot too good.....i saved my transfer last week to figure out who is actually nailed on. There is a real lack of mid price players.
I think you can do quite well if you pay attention. There are some good prizes.
Are you in my league? How are you doing?Open ControlsPretty good.
Had no idea what I was doing.. Wildcarded this week as my team was a mess. All heavy hitters and then 4million$ guys that would never play unless the rest of their team was injured.
Definitely hard to have a balanced team. Just trying to sort out how to get LA in without ditching De Rosario (I hear he can be good.. hasn't done dick for me yet though)Open ControlsDe Ro is getting old. He played in for us in Toronto and can be explosive. His price is not worth 11.5 M i will be dumping him in a few weeks.
Need to sort out a def and Mid rotation. in the next week or 2
Seattle look pretty strong.Open Controls

silva (sto) bale (che) surman (WOL) mc clean (QPR) valencia (FUL)
rvp (AVL) rooney (FUL)

have 2FT, already done dempsey -> valencia..very tempted to do ba -> odemwingie if he is fit. keep the FT?Open Controls1st time put comment here after lurking for a few months.anyone has suggestion or comment,please?
Open ControlsThat seems a pretty good team 'as is' ... I think I might keep the transfer for 2 FTs next week.
Open Controlsthanks king eric.that 1FT really makes my hand itchy to make transfer.have a few transfer in mind:
1. simpson -> evans (to avoid doubling newcastle defense)
2. mc clean -> siggy (mc clean does not perform well without sess,but he's back this weekend)
3. ba -> odemwingie
4. silva -> walcott @ mata
5. skrtel -> verm (most probably after v QPR)
your opinions?Open Controls
Get rid of silva for Walcott or Mata. If keeping Silva then Bench him for Ba
Open Controlsits going to take a lot of guts to get rid of silva, but it is logical considering that he does not performing well in the last few games. silva to walcott or mata could be a good shout..maybe I should take risk just like you did..nice rank phaze1!

Including this past week, Danny Simpson been on my bench with a clean sheet a total of SEVEN times.
In a few of these games, he also earned bonus points Which means he's provided more points to my bench (58) than the starting XI (34). Enough to make you sick. He averages 2.8 PPG when hes in my squad and 3.4 when hes on the bench. (Fair warning: I plan to start Simpson this weekend)
Three of the cleanies came in gameweeks one through four, before we all realized how good Newcastle's defense was going to be. All but two were away games. One was was at home to Manchester United.
Danny Simpson - My Unused Substitute of the YearOpen Controlssame with me,caulker n simpson (12pt) on the bench while kelly n skrtel (2pt). the problem is that we thought it is risky to double on the defense.plan to do simpson -> evans so that I don't have to face this dilemma later.

Hey Lads,
Really need some advice;
Mig/Sorensen
Enrique/Evans/Simpson/Naylor/Senderos
Bale/Silva/Dempsey/Siggy/Moses
RVP/BA/Rooney
1.6 in Bank
My plans are;
This week 2 FT:
Silva>Valencia
Dempsey>Walcott
Next week:
Ba > Pog
Sorensen>Begovic or Schwartzer for a hit.
I was trying to keep Dempsey in for GW31 v NOR and GW32 v bol.....but i figure this is a way around the tough united fixture and Pog being the next best thing.
Thoughts....suggestions?Open ControlsWhy take a hit for a 'keeper? Seems needless.
Open ControlsNormally I would agree with you....however, my keeper would be Mignolet v MCI. I fugure i have to fix it sometime. I really do not want to go without FUL cover in GW 31 and 32.
Open Controls
Evening my fellow canadian, i agree with the valencia move, but id shift keepers now, and get walcott in for demsey in gw33. Im thinking of doubling on fulham attack for NOR bol, with both pog and demps.
But otherwise looks good 🙂Open Controls
balls, not too bad though. 0.1m doesnt make that much of a difference this season

What's the most green arrows you've had in a row so far this season?
Just 7 for me. It's my current streak which is highly likely to come to an end once the game updates.Open Controls11 for me 🙂
Open Controls7
Open ControlsI've had 9 Straight RED arrows this season. I know thats not what you asked but just trying to make you feel better about your possible 1 red in the last 8 GWs.
Open ControlsThat's a good thing for you though. You're ranked really high. When you're that high the only way is down, so you're bound to get many a rad arrow.
Well done btw. Looks like you're having a brilliant season.Open Controls
9!
Didn't realize it was that long.. Went on a 5 week red binge though. Almost back to the position I was in after that run.
Hoping for top 50k finish!
First season (last season) I was like 300k.. so I think I'm getting better. Have to get better at not sitting on players too long just because they had been hot. Then I'll be top 1k 😛Open Controls
Conundrum:
Vorm (Schwarzer)
Caulker, Jevans, Enrique, Kompany, (Raylor)
Sinclair, Silva, Bale, McClean, (Demps)
Ba, RVP, (Pog)
0.5 in the bank.
Now, do I take an 8 hit point to get Valencia and Rooney in?
Or...do I take a punt on Chicharito?
Or...something entirely different?
Thanks fellas.Open Controls
Where are you on your league table ... if waaaaaay out in front then play it safe and do Rooney and Valencia but if you need a differential to make up some ground then perhaps look at Gerard, Odem, Pog (after this week) or even Holt for Norwich's game against Wolves?
I personally dont think Man United will breeze past Fulham, a 10-man Wolves is one thing.Open Controls
The urge to Kneejerk Verm in for Skrtel is getting stronger and will prob win over by the weekend. Right now I wanna eject all my LOLpool players but gonna hold off for now. Suarez, with all his skills on the ball just isn't a natural finisher and will prob just riddle my team with 2,2,2 each week despite the fixtures. Ade has some kinda injury, Ba became Barndoor, Odem is injured, Balo is a moron and Pog was just running hot imo. Maybe its time to go with just Rooney and RVP up top and play 5 in MF.
Open Controls
Kompany>Vermaelen ? Pull the trigger?
Would give me a backline of
Vermaelen BAE Skrtel Evans CaulkerOpen Controlshmm, think it out over a couple days.
Open ControlsVery strong backline imo.....assuming 3 4 3 formation, who will you sit each week? imo, i would downgrade Kompany or Skrtel intead!
No not knee jerk!!!Open ControlsI did downgrade Kompany?
Open Controlsi mean really downgrade.....am i missing somthing?
Open ControlsOH sorry I see what you're saying. Well, it should mean I play 3-4-3 with a very strong 3 defenders each round.
Open Controlsokay....i just think you can spend the $$$ elsewhere thats all.
It would be a pretty stong def.Open Controls
AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
must win CL matchup appears to be DEAD EVEN including opponents 4 point home advantage, but with final BPs to come.
ME: Verm, Silva, Bale x 2
vs
BAE, Yaya, Aguero, Bale x 1
not seeing the usual BP predictions anywhere and i didnt watch the games, though i know obviously verm scored and aguero got one on a penalty. Have no clue if silva or yaya or BAE could be in the mix. was following twitter updates and it sounded like bale was involved more than anyone for Spurs. Thank god we got a point. Thats a whole nother story 🙁
So how am i looking?Open ControlsAguero might get somthing. I think you got him.
Nothing should go to yaya or silva or BAE imo....Open Controlsthanks CF, i do a lot of posting and running these days, cant access the site at work anymore, and i dont like to spend too much of my free time here ;), FIFA to play, recreational drugs to take, etc., but you have always been quick to help me out.

Canadian ... any thoughts on who to bench out of Dempsey and Ba for this week? Matchup says Dempsey, but Ba has not been doing much of late. His last week in my team.Open ControlsThe main reason to keep dempsey is GW 31 - 32
My plan is
Dempsey>Walcott 31
Ba>Pog 32
That way we get the best of 2 fixtures. we avoid the united fixture and still have cover for FUL v nor (away to bla after that).Open ControlsSorry ... misled you a bit. Not transferring either this week (Silva to Valencia already done). But one of them plays and one of them sits this week. Not sure which one. Leaning to Dempsey on the bench right now.
Open ControlsI agree.....if i had to bench one it would be Ba

Mr. Torresmagic
Our FFS H2H2 has been an intense week with us having the highest scores and only having it coming down to G. Cahill vs Bale today...
I ended with 71 you on 68... if bale gets 3baps we tie... Doesn't the person who's team scored more goals win!?
here's the fellas
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2495/event-history/29/
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/5003/event-history/29/Open ControlsI don't think any RB can really contain Bale...
Also think Rafa will make a good differential for the rest of the season.Open Controlsagreed if healthy.....when ade comes back do you reckon VDV will drop deeper?
Open ControlsI don't.
Rafa can't defend at all, so they'll switch the formation a bit or just use him as a subOpen ControlsYou're a joker.
With both Lennon and Rafa fit Tottenham have always played 4-4-1-1, with VDV in behind the striker and a hit man up front.
His play style is not that of a super sub - that's Defoe.Open Controlswudnt bother with vdv till ades infront of him that will bring the best out of ade, bale and vdv.

Sorry for not replying to anyone's posts. I know that's bad form.
But my defence is vexing me.
Senderos, Raylor, Kompany, Evans, O'Shea.
Senderos is crappy but cheap, Raylor is constantly injured/rotated and may be relegated to the back line, Kompany is injured, Evans is fine and O'Shea was dropped due to a hammy.
So this coming gameweek I'm thinking of transferring one of them out for Caulker, but I don't know which one to drop (This would be for a 4pt hit, but should make it up for the rest of the season).
What would you do in my position? Any advice greatly appreciated.Open ControlsCaulker, McAulley, Simpson are your best bets ... how much in the bank?
Open ControlsI have 2.9M in the bank, but am tempted to get Caulker in for Raylor to save some cash to upgrade Zamora. I really need to have three defenders who play next week so the 4 pt hit doesn't worry me at all.
Open ControlsYep - do it ... more rewards to be had with a classy forward than a back.
Open Controls
Raylor>Kaboul
Open ControlsReally don't fancy Spurs defence at the moment, given their fixtures, so it's between Raylor to Caulker or McCaulley...
At least I'm narrowing it down now. 🙂Open ControlsLooking at form and fixtures I'll go Raylor to Caulker.
Gives me enough money in the bank to upgrade anyone to anyone, 🙂
Thanks for the advice.
Well appreciated. 🙂Open Controls
