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…
De Gea today: a hint at why SAF was so dedicated. He's improving each week and might be a keeper for the long term.
Top notch stopping today.Open Controls
He was amazing today.
The save from the Ollson half volley was ridiculously brilliant.Open ControlsSure, it came from another fluff of DG's on a high ball into the box/corner kick, that's an area in need of improvement. I'm thinking as he gets experience, confidence, and bulks up that 98 pound frame of his ... he'll get a bit better at those.
Vidic being back wouldn't hurt him much, either.
Christ ... Vidic. Can't wait to see that scary MFer back again.Open Controls
Just listening to the last podcast:
Granville.....
"I don't rate Ruddy as a keeper"
LOL!!!!!!!!!!Open Controls
but isnt it backwards?? even though i feel valencia is essntial now...
Open ControlsYou've answered your own question mate.
I'd do it. Valencia is immense at the moment and is forming a nice little partnership with Rafael on the right.Open Controls
Yeah..look good.u can use the cash to upgrade others..
Open Controls
hows my team for this week.am i ok to save my transfer?
mig
verm/evans/Cahill
bale/dempsey/young/siggy
rvp/rooney/jelavic
krul mclean caulkar simpsonOpen Controls
You have the exact defense that I have! Looks good to me, I'm still thinking that Cahill is not safe 90 min player anymore!
Open Controls
Yeah..Luiz worth 24M compare to Cahill 8M
Open Controls
You don't have any NewCastle attacking players then you should play Simpson ahead of Cahill.
Open Controls
my team for gw32 : 2.2m in bank with 1FT
Sorensen (Vorm)
Bae Evans Verm (Caulker Skrtel)
Siggy Bale Valencia[c] Walcott (McClean)
Roo Cisse Rvp
Any transfer should i do this week ? Sorensen just dummy GK atm..Thanks 😉Open Controls
Would say you're good to go, I'd consider Skrtel over BAE though, I know Reina is out and all but feel they could nick at CS at home.
Open Controls
Doni's meant to be a fairly decent keeper too. But this is Lollerpool we're talking about 😉
Open Controls
Front line look good. Just change Sorenson as prepare for gd34.
Open Controls*gw36
Open Controls
Cheers lads..I think Cisse & B.Arfa still in their form and will explode again. So, that's why im benching Caulker. Vorm & Siggy is enough for me..
Skrtel over Bae? Maybe not for nextweek. I can afford Skrtel > Baines but don;t know is it worth or not. If I get Baines, which Mid should I bench with 4-3-3 formation ?
GK for 36..maybe I will get Krul for gw33 instead of SorensenOpen Controls
Why don't we all chip in and by a new computer for the FPL.
Since they reportedly are using a Nintendo GameBoy to update the rankings, the new hardware will make live updates possible.Open ControlsI was thinking they're using two squirrels, an abacus, and a bottle of quaaludes.
Open Controls
I really haven't got a clue which 2 defenders to play from
Kompany, Simpson, Vermaelen, Kelly
Impossible to pick a clean sheet out of those 4 so i'm thinking just play Verm and Kompany for their goal threat. Thoughts?Open Controls
Play Vermaelen or Caulker?
Vermaelen has more goal threat and Caulker better chance of CSOpen Controls
So who's getting baps then? Seemed to me like Valencia 3, Rafael 2 and A.N.Other 1
Open Controls
Personally I don't think Caulker has much chance of a CS... Cisse is a goal machine atm. I'd play Verm and hope he steps up and plays better than he did vs QPR.
Open ControlsSorry... meant for DV8R
Open Controls
Start Verm or McAuley next gw?
And have the overall rank been updated? Can't tell.Open ControlsRankings haven't been updated since Ba was robbed of his assist.
VermaelenOpen ControlsAgree. I even email to support@fantasy.premierleague.com for bloody 3pts. But no response from them.
Open Controls
So for this week..
Ruddy(EVE)
Caulker(NEW) Enrique(AVL) Evans(QPR)
Sigurdsson(NEW) Valencia(QPR) McClean(TOT) Silva(ars)
RVP(MCI) Rooney(QPR) Ba(swa)
Subs: Krul(swa) Dempsey(bol) Kompany(ars) Simpson(swa)
Silva->Walcott
Ba->Ade
Thought?Open ControlsAT LAST.
Overall POINTS updated. Man you're quick FF.Open ControlsWhich FF?
Open ControlsNice..5 consecutive green arrow..
Open Controls
didn't bother to watch the Blackburn game. at least Rooney didn't score
Open Controls
At first I thought you were just stupid for refusing to get United players.........but I have to admit, I occasionally find myself rooting for you despite that choice.
Open Controls
who the hell do i bench
valencia bale siggy walcott dempsey
rvp rooney adeOpen Controlsblech, that is a problem, isn't it.
Walcott or Dempsey, I guess. Demps is bad on the road but Walcott has a 'tough' fixture.
I think I would bench Dempsey if I were you.Open Controlswhat are your thoughts on benching siggurdson. feel its between him and demps
Open ControlsYou gotta play siggy. Despite Liverpool's total failure, Newcastle defense is shaky, espeically on the road. He had a good chance to score well.
Dempsey just doesn't deliver on the road.
siggy for sure. Dempsey vs. Walcott, imo.Open Controls
toss coin..siggy is better playing away,while dempsey plays better at home
Open Controls
Went a bit mental and got Torres in for this GW, I'm sick of having average GWs for the last few so am just going for a punt...other than that..all in order? any feedback appreciated...cheers
Friedel
Cahill, Evans, Caulker
Dempsey, Bale, Walcott, Valencia
Jelavic, Rooney, Torres (c)
Subs: Bogdan-Sigurdsson,Verm,SantonOpen Controls
It's a good team - If RVP doesn't score that is.
I'd worry about Siggy and Verm on the bench, even if they have reasonably difficult fixtures - can't see anyone to drop them for.Open Controlsi got the same 5 mid.. whats your reasoning behind benching siggy over demspey
Open ControlsI know Sigurdsson has a great record...I could just see Dempsey scoring a brace against Bolton for some reason..especially if Pobrebnyak is still injured
Open Controls
Rafael 9-9-9 with possible bonus.
Only 0.3 more than Evans now, if you're late to the United defence he could be a decent shoutOpen Controls0.2 *
Open Controls
Torres being transferred in at an alarming rate......
Open Controls
The big moment. gw rank of 6389. previous overall of 694. ranked 4th in country, where will i end up...
Open ControlsWho do we rate as the best
Open ControlsSorry.
The best sub 4.5 defender who plays in GW34?
He'd probably be a bench fodder the rest of the season, maybe get on once or twice
I'm looking at McAuley and TaiwoOpen ControlsAlready got Mignolet. Should probably add I have Vermaelen, Caulker, Migs, Evans
Open ControlsHmm I'm tempted by Taiwo. I'll consider it for awhile.
Open Controls
Caulker?
Open Controls
Congrats man: thats quite a roll!
I'm hoping to have my 5th green in six. It is gonna be really close, though.
O well....won my UCL Group, so that is all that matters.Open Controls
Grats Newman. So did I, with the narrowest of margins. Watch out for Group E when its out - you'll see how tight it is 😉 Atleast we won't be up against each other next week.
Open ControlsHooray! Great news, buddy. What about Agueroliciouso? Did he make it?
Also, are you doing any kind of special Knockout stage draw?Open ControlsAhhhh unfortunately both of us were against each other this weekend and only one of us could go through. The amiga lost by a point - thanks to the Cahill appearance/Cisse YC. Got lucky, really.
It's going to be seeded vs unseeded. CL draw at 330 pm if you're around, catch it live bud 🙂Open ControlsAww, poor guy, I like him a lot. What a barn burner: 1 point! Glad you won though, pal.
I hope I'm not bothering you, but can you tell me the fate of some other? Namely Fuzzy, 4Vets, Torresmagic, and Canadian Football?
330 in what time zone, dude?Open ControlsI'd tell you if I knew fo sho but I know Fuz is fighting for a Europa spot, TM needed a miracle not to qualify and CF needed a miracle to qualify (Europa in the bag tho).
12 hours from now. Use the time-stamp on the right, Roberto. 😉Open ControlsO, ok, gotcha. Sadly, I'll probably be missing the draw, then. Its in the middle of my work day.
Open ControlsNow that I think about it, you really should do the draw during the deadzone time. It will just get lost in the shuffle the rest of the time. We deadzoners deserve ir!
Open ControlsPhew both of us won't be up against Ruk atleast 😉
Open ControlsHehehe I would love to DZ it if 1) we have more managers participation at this time 2) Wed morning will be kinda late for admin purposes too, since the GW starts on Friday. 😉
Open ControlsRuk won outright? good for him, I guess.
Would he be espeically tough, then? I figure most managers who make it this far will be.Open ControlsWell if Wednesday night is too lae, just add it up and do it in an hour!
lol jk, I totally understand your reasoning: I just think it would be a fun thing to be a part of.Open ControlsBeen the dark horse of the Cup. He's been doing with it with eaaaase.
Truly. All very serious managers at this level, but pretty much as serious as the group stages. However we've got to hope we don't come up against the ones who qualified at the end of Matchday 5 itself, since they've taken a few hits this weekend to prepare for the Knock-outs 🙄Open ControlsWow, people were really taking hits just to be ready for Knockouts? Which ones did that? That is some crazy strategy if true!
Open ControlsHaha think there might be a few. I know BATE took an 8-pt hit this week.
Open ControlsBATE? Which guy is that?
Open Controls
Good morning deadzoners. I have a cooing baby helping me be on here, he's nice like that...
Anyone else not feeling the GW34 love? I have 7 players and thankfully they're from the teams with the best fixtures (3 Mun, 3 Ars, 1 Swa). Used my 2 free transfers but got in 2 with GW34 blanks. That leaves me 2 frees until GW34, likely to be 2 City players as I have 0.
That'll be 9 for DGW. Can someone give me the flip side? I'm refusing to get drawn in to fielding a full team as I always end up looking at my team and hating it the following week.Open ControlsThanks Desertbug. He's a great player, and he's more due than dew on a Jewish festival.
Open Controls
do you mean 9 for a single GW?
Open ControlsSadly, I'll have 10 max for GW 34. I'm bummed, but overly disappointed. Hopefully I don't pay the price.
I will say, if I were you, I would think 1 Swans player is NOT enough. Gotta have siggy and at least one swans defender. Fixtures are fantastic.Open Controls
Personally I'm making sure I get 11, but only with players I would like to have beyond gw34 as well.
That's why I went for Mario Balotelli yesterday.
*shakes head*Open Controlslol funny.
I envy you people who can field 11 for 34. I have no chance at all for that. Too busy getting in Siggy for Dyer.Open ControlsYou wouldn't believe it, Newman.
I left Siggy on the bench AGAIN.
That's 25 Siggy points & 30 McClean points I've left on my bench in the last 7 weeks.Open ControlsYeah, but this week your whole midfield except Bale outscored him: you cant regret that one very much.
Open ControlsI'm, sure knowing what's the right thing to do, but still blatantly ignoring it has some kind of clinical term connected to it 🙂
yours sincerely,
siggy owner who've played him every gw since 25Open Controls

I think it's a not-half-stupid place to start.Open Controls
Dempsey is poor on the road but I was pretty disheartened that Miyaichi didnt get involved in any of the goals. The underlying stats are there, though. For now, I'd go with Dempsey. Its not really a hard fixture........its just away.
At least, that is what I will be choosing.Open ControlsTrue, only 3 of Dempsey's goals have been away from home this season, however considering 1 was at Chelsea and another at Newcastle, you'd imagine on the back of a goal and against a shambles of Bolton, he'd have a chance.
I just don't rate Miyachi to get anything other than assists and I still think they'll be few and far between.Open Controls
Valencia or Rooney for captain
Open ControlsIm with Valencia all the way!!
