In tonight’s Members article, we pay another visit to the Team Statistics area. With plenty of data available to help with your Fantasy choices, we analyse each side’s performance in the previous Gameweek both from a defensive and attacking point of view.

Digging deeper, we then pick apart the previous four Gameweeks from a cumulative perspective, looking at any patterns or even anomalies that have recently emerged as we continue our planning for those crucial final five Gameweeks of the season:

Have decided to go for Sess and Aguero

Are any of you thinking the big double gameweek will be full of rotation?
Think i will not get too stessed about trying get everyone on doubles , by the time that round starts some of the teams will have very little to play for nd really will not want their players playing three games in eight days.

For example Liverpool , on paper a good double gameweek , but they have nothing to play for , and the fact that they rotated and won this week will just encourage them to do it again , especially if they win their fa cup game.
Same applies to Everton.

    Not much.. Any player who enter the red zone (-9x%) on FiSo have chance of price drop. As he was added to the game lately, it doesn't require much NTI for price change. That's reason.

        Andrews was really brilliant on loan at Ipswich earlier this season, he couldn't stop scoring! I've been to keen to slip him in my team somehow, but again I'm biased coz of the Ipswich connection. Could be a good punt tho.

option A (no hit) get a total for 5 games

ade for qpr BB bol
baines for FUL stk

option B (no hit) total 4 games

aguero for nor wol UTD
vermalen for stk

option C (4 pt hit) total 5 games

aguero for nor wol
adebayor for BB bol
vermalen for stk

option D (8 point hit) total 6 games
aguero for nor wol
adebayor for BB bol
baines for FUL stk

option A and C involve same number of games but C includes 4 point hit.. benefit i see for that is that i get aguero for now and ade for the double. have a feeling aguero will tear it up next 2 weeks and will be a great differential.. dont see much in baines vs vermalen in 36.

    Haven't heard anything official, but some Sunderland fans earlier tonight said that MON mentioned rotation the day of the match he sat out and that since he rarely plays close back-back games he should probably be good to go for this weekend.

      That's positive news then.
      
      From what I watched of the game, they really missed Bendy up-front.
      Sess wasn't able to fulfill that role of holding the ball and it would have been unfair on him (come on, he's only 5'6"). The other option is MON playing Ji/Wickham/Frazier, but looks like they're out of favor.

Everton players are clearly under-rated for the DGW. I would try to get 3 Everton players, instead of 3 Tot players.

1) This article definitely shows they are the best offense and still one of the solid defenses around.
2) They're in-form and are known to finish the season on a high.
3) Some of their players are just as much as in a rotation mess as the other doublers.
4) More importantly, they have the fixtures in 36-38 to finish strongly.

Their only drawback is probably the fact that they don't have much to play for. But that seems to bring out the best in them every year, since they tend to play without any pressure.

        Only suggesting a third option. It intrigues me why you would want only 2 players from a team, which has fared so well and more from a team which is out-of-form and not able to win relatively easy games at home.

        I'm going for just the two from Tottenham too ;).
        
        I suppose a couple of the reasons are that I don't want to take hits for an extra Everton player and they have more away games towards the end of the season than home games. They don't really do well defensively away from home.
        
        Just my thoughts 🙂

Taking the example of Everton, they have games on:

14th April: FA Cup Semi
22nd April: Man United (A)
28th April: Fulham (H)
1st May: Stoke (A)
5th May: FA Cup Final
6th May: Wolves (A)

Surely they will reschedule the Wolves game if they get through to the final right?

      Should think so. But now my concern is if he's worth the extra 2.5 mil over Jags? In the latest Moyes style of play, he seems to be putting in much fewer crosses and taking lesser corners as well. So pretty much you're relying on his goal threat (FK/penos) to justify that extra bit. Guess for the rich managers, Baines is a no-brainer, but I'm thinking about it.
      
      Jags is a very solid defender and seems to always be in with a good shout for Baps if Everton get a CS. Gets forward for set-pieces and is good on the ball going forward.
      
      Looking at the double, FUL/sto, I don't see much attacking returns for Everton. So maybe Jags is a great option if you're looking to scrap cash.
      
      Fact: Baines has 2 assists, just as Jagielka. He has 4 goals over Jagielka's 2.

        You might be swaying my line of thinking here.
        
        Truth is, Baines just hasn't delivered enough attackwise, 4 goals and 2 assists all season is a bit unsatisfactory.
        
        And just to correct you, Jags just has 6BPs all season, and that too just when he's scored those 2 goals. Most of the CS bonus goes to Baines.

  B yields the best possible returns as spurs have the best 2 fixtures in the DGW. Both Cisse and Ben Arfa are on fire atm and despite both there DGW fixtures being away from home they have both recently shown they can still score big. I was annoyed with baines being rested last GW and looks like if they get past Liverpool in the FA cup he might be again rested. Aguero is terrible away from home so for me B is the best option. I can see A or C returning more than the 4 pt hit costs you. If your in a H2H or the paddy power cup i'd recommed just B and if your gonan take some risk B and C or A and B. I dont recommened an 8pt hit.

Sorry folks, a bit of a long plea for help here. I currently have 9 players for GW34; 2FT and 1.2m in bank:

Mignolet
Evans, Caulker, Turner
Valencia, Walcott, Sigurdsson
RVP, Rooney

Krul | Jelavic, Walker, Bale, Simpson, Miyaichi

Wouldn't want to waste a transfer so will use one to make it 10 players (hope Mignolet plays). Which option's best?

A) Walker --> Sagna/Verm/Kompany/Lescott (opponent this week has both Kompany & Verm) - which one?
B) Bale --> Sessegnon/Silva
C) Miyaichi --> McClean

or I could use both my transfers to have a full team and worry about GW35 when it gets here. Slightly tempted since I have a must-win matchup GW34. Would this be wise then?

D) Walker & Bale --> Kompany/Sagna/Verm/Lescott & Sessegnon/Silva

Anything else I'm missing? Ok to over-look Yakubu, QPR, WBA players? Cheers for any help.

Yaya-Sigurdsson-Sess-Valencia
Rooney-RVP (C)
Subs: Schwarzer-Dempsey, Simpson, Cisse and 2.2 in the bank

I’m 80 points clear of my rivals in my main mini-league, so would you do any changes to this team, or keep the transfer for GW 35? I was thinking of Yaya to Walcott, have the funds necessarry. I don’t like Theo but he gets the points seemingly out of nowhere and looks like a must these days. What do you guys think? Thanks!
