Two finishes of the highest quality finally rolled over the Rovers resistance at Ewood and saw United defy Roberto Mancini’s prediction to open up a five point gap at the top. Here’s the key stats from United’s 2-0 win, along with our prediction of where the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bonus points could be heading…
Who have you managed to offload at the right time this year?
I got rid of Silva a few weeks ago which is looking pretty shrewd right now. Sturridge was held for far to f@#$ing long!Open Controls
getting rid of silva 15 gameweeks ago was the right time
Open Controls
Who would you rather have from GW 36 till the end of the season? Evans, Valencia & Rooney or Van der Vaart, Adebayor and Baines?
Open Controlsjust seen the deadline for next gameweek. 16:00 on friday. that's a new one
Open Controls
Hopefully that will come as a shock to the casuals on Saturday morning!
Open Controls
Yeah noticed that end of last week. Odd one indeed. Making me think of just doing transfers now.
Open Controls
Can we keep this on the quiet...hoping my rival falls for this one! Its got to a stage where I need to pull these Jose like stunts to gain the upper hand.
Open Controls
I think I will take Tosey's advice - and do no transfers.
Open Controls
Can we all agree to speak to no more about this now please. The quieter it's kept, the more people will be caught out
Open Controls
i have verm, caulker and williamson am i right in playing verm as all will concede imo and bigger goal threat?
also out of bale, cisse, ben arfa who would you bench?Open Controls
Which one would ye play from:
Simpson, Kompany or Kelly?Open Controls
Kompany
Open Controls
Dyer > Sessegnon
Any reason not to do this? It'll mean benching Demspey this week though.Open ControlsI'd sooner play Dempsey this week than Sessegnon. Grand transfer though.
Open Controls
Right! 4Vetti's passionate Italian post has reminded me that its time for Menly's Lega Pro Prima update! (I know nobody else cares but I enjoy it so humour me!)
Triestina, having recently gone bankrupt, has squandered their run of good fixtures having drawn in 3 consecutive games against mid-lower table clubs. The latest was a disappointing 2-2 draw at home on Sunday to struggling Bassano Virtus, who are currently bottom of the table.
As a result Triestina remain in 12th place and now face a challenging run of games till the end of the season.
They are still a worrying 4 points above the relegation zone, and there is a lot of work to be done in the last 5 games of the season if they wish to survive the relegation battleOpen ControlsBit early, but what do people think about the captaincy choice this week? Is it basically Rooney or Valencia? Siggy? Does anybody actually have a Chelsea player?
Open Controls
I have both and am doing the former, I think..
Open Controls
Why did Ba get rightly awarded the assist to have it taken off him again?
Open ControlsMight as well get it out of the way.
Kelly > Caulker? Everyone agreed?Open ControlsYes indeed.
Open Controls
Currently I have
Given mignolet
Cahill Evans riise Simpson walker
Valencia bale Dempsey siggy Gerrard
Rvp ba graham
2 ft..with gw 34 in mind I am wanting Rooney in without a hit..is Gerrard and ba out for Rooney and Keith Andrews of west brom good moves?? Leaves me with
Given
Cahill Evans walker
Valencia bale Dempsey siggy Andrews
Rvp Rooney
(Mignolet,graham,riise,Simpson)
Up to 8gw34 players from 6 with idea of bringing in caulker for riise aswell as another move before gw 34...thoughts??Open Controls
Love that the deadline is at 4pm on Friday. Most my rivals finish work around 6ish so there is a chance they don't know 🙂 They may have Demps/Bale captain who have tough away games. Yaay.
Open ControlsHaha, I like your thinking.
Open ControlsWouldn't you rather beat them based on your own skill and management prowess? 8)
Open Controls
you could tell them 😉
Open ControlsThis could backfire, got a feeling RVP will grab a couple against city and 80% of my league had him as captain this week.
Open Controls
Thoughts on my transfer plan:
For GW32: Reina to Vorm
For GW33: Dempsey to Walcott
For GW34: Jelavic to Bendtner and Williamson to Gibbs
It'll leave my team as:
Vorm
Kompany, Evans, Gibbs
Walcott, Moses, Sigurdsson, Valencia
RVP, Rooney, Bendtner
Subs: Bale, Skrtel, Kelly, SorensenOpen ControlsSo HBA's 'aassist' got reinstated, did it ? I am just noticing, so apologies for not hearing about it. What was the story regarding that...??
Open Controls
The story behind it? How much it's been talked about it could be written into a bloody novel 😆
Open ControlsWhen did they put back on ? Did they get concrete evidence that he touched it ?>
Open ControlsThey gave it back to HBA a few hours after giving it to Ba apparently. I'm not too sure, haven't seen a slow-replay of the goal myself to judge and there's no general consensus here as to the verdict.
Probably due to the fact that a lot have got on the HBA bangwagon and some have still stuck with Ba. I doubt and hope nothing happens now so that people stop going on about it though 😀Open ControlsYes, his DNA was identified on the ball.
Open Controls
Not jus his hard work- sheer f*****g brilliance, tbf it'd been well flagged round here but still done peeps continue to ignore-"pity the fool" /// " never let me down again "
Open Controls
Is it worth a 4pointer to bring Torres in for Suarez if you are 30 behind your rival with the exact same strikers (Roon, RVP and Suarez) and also a couple of the same mids?
Open ControlsNo point. Both blanks in 34 aswell. Suarez has a good fixture..whether Pool can muster a good performance is another issue. Also Drogba could return this week. I'd save the transfer then try outfox your rival in gw 34 by fielding a strong team. 30 points is nothing no need to panic at all.
Open Controls
Yeah he should definitely wait until after Wednesday. Drogba has a toe injury and he is still flagged if Drogs is still flagged Wednesday for Benfica, it could spell bad news saturday for Torres owners.
Open Controls
I also want Suarez out as Liverpool look awful atm. If we only knew if Torres was nailed on.. Can see Drogba in the mix for rotation.
Open Controls
What are the chances of Dempsey doing anything away at bolton? They are fighting for their lives and he's only got attacking returns thrice whenway
Open ControlsJust sold my longest seving player ðŸ™
Thank you Nathan. I'll never forget those 2 jammy double figure hauls you delivered from the bench.Open Controls
No. Just no. That's not right at all.
Had to say that am now really off to bed 🙂Open Controls
Suarez is gone the orrible little turd..
Open Controls
My team is in shambles......
Vorm *Sorenson*
Evans *Enrique* Simpson Caulker Turner
Valencia Bale Walcott *Dempsey* Sigurdsson
RVP Rooney *Yakubu*
I'm having to hold back on trannies because of GW34, so next week it's.........
Dempsey + Enrique âž¡ Miyaichi + VermaelenOpen Controlsi wouldnt say thats a shambles, just needs a bit of tweeking. front 8 are fine..
Open Controls
Hi Parmtree, What happened to the BIG plan you posted 5 days ago?
I think it has real merrits, as long as there are no huge player increases and barring injury.
I think you should stick to your guns.Open Controls
Fancy a goal here meanly, I'd play him this is his 4th away score imo

Studying chemistry in college, realising that it is all secretly the work of fairies.
Open Controls
I have discovered similar. In my 4th year studying chemistry at university.
Open ControlsOoof fair play mate, only in 2nd year an plan on specialising in neuroscience so not as much chemistry for me. If it's bad for me know, I can only imagine how complex it must be for 4th years!
Open ControlsI am writing up my final year research project as we speak. 'Total Synthesis of a Conformationally Locked Analogue of Astaxanthin'.
Yeah this final year is stressing me out big time.Open ControlsSounds fairly complex 😛 I'd say so man, keep it up though!! Well worth getting a good degree in it, do you find it interesting at least?
Open ControlsYeah, loved it during year 1 and 2. Year 3 got myself a placement in industry and loved that but had to balance studying, which was not fun. Kind of fallen out of love with it this year, I still love the lab stuff but not getting some of the lectures now.
Open ControlsAh right, well I can completely sympathise with you there! Some stuff seems to get very dodgey after a while, I'm sure in 4th year you're talking about theories that really are way out there. Still, once you get this year done you can go on to research or post grad research, that's a lot more lab time 🙂
Open Controls
Neuroscience is LEGIT. If I were to do my four undergrad years over again, I'd specialize in it. Interesting stuff. I have a mandatory Neuro class I'm taking for my studies, and I absolutely love it. Good career move
Open ControlsYeah? You have no idea how much that has helped me!! I've not been sure lately if I should go for it or not, so interesting but have had the odd bad experience with some sour post grads, or that's how they came across!
Open ControlsYeah, there's sour pusses in every field out there...Personally, Neuroscience>Chemistry, period. I just love how it localizes behavior and makes it somewhat tangible. I'm doing a doctorate in clinical health psychology next year, I'm focusing in on the HPA axis. It all starts in the brain really, and I've loved studying a lot of what's up there. Just make sure you specialize in something you love...personally, I'd study the dopamine reward/reward expectations in healthy adults and those with addictions. I could never study something like bilateralization or the hippocampus, for example...Although the hippocampus/cortex (prefrontal dorsal, specifically) would be pretty sweet...Do what you love mate.

It is actually the work of god. There is no science
Open ControlsAnd then there's me, who believes that we, as a race, are not advanced enough yet to make definitive statements on the existence of a higher power or not. We will someday but lets focus on curing cancer first 😉

"There is no spoon"
Open Controlswhere are you studying man?
Open Controlstut tut. ucc is where it is at for chemical studies 😉
Open ControlsAhh a UCC man!! Have to say, really fond of UCC but I'm a homebird so TCD it is for me 😉 Ah you haven't been on any of my science nights out, that's when the "chemical studies" really get going 😉
Open Controls
Ah. It appearance we have a problem. I don't actually have enough cash to do Kelly > Caulker... ðŸ™
What the hell do I do now!Open ControlsWhat up you mothalova's! Haven't been on it a bit...and I've only watched the Arsenal match this weekend (althought I have like four matches on my DVR ready for some Monday night lovin). I haven't read the comments, but tell me, how did Rooney do? Did he look like he should have done more than 2 points?
Open ControlsSeeya buddy.
