Fernando Torres matched the achievements of Liverpool’s Luis Suarez with a hat-trick of his own as Chelsea swept pass relegation threatened QPR. With Rafael Van der Vaart delivering in Tottenham’s routine win over Blackburn, the double Gameweek gambles have almost paid in full, with another 90 minutes to go.

Here’s our usual round-up for Members of some of the key performance statistics collected so far, together with our punt on where the Fantasy Premier League bonus points could be heading…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    The unspoken rule on hits has been updated…

    - Never take a hit for a defender… Unless they have a DGW.

        would love Rooney AND Nani, but as I own De Gea and Evans I can only get 1 or the other. Or neither and triple on defence. But I think Rooney is the more important of the 2 to have.

      Norwich's defence were dire against Liverpool, they tried to play a passing game, build from the back, but kept losing the ball to Suarez and Gerrard when they got closed down. That's what got Suarez his hat trick.

      The question is, will Arsenal put that sort of pressure on without Arteta and Walcott? I reckon they'll have a few chances, which means RVP should get a few points 😉

        Arsenal without Walcott is not always a bad thing.
        They just need to get rid of Ramsey and all's good.

        Watched the game and totally agree. Norwich for me had the season ending feel about them. The lack of supply does worry me but I think I will get him back in.

    I never thought 12 points hit will bring me so many additional points. And the two more transfers that I considered would bring me at least 8 additional points, so basically 20 pts hit would work just great for me, that's pretty amazing 🙂

        Exactly. I was keeping Cahill and BAE for the dgw and this plan failed badly. My backups are Evans and Taiwo, so bringing in Terry and Bosingwa for -8 will get me some 10 points if not more (unless Evans gets a cleanie, which I don't think he will, Terry/Bosingwa are much more likely to get another one).

      i think the penalty theory could be key for jelavic this week. if they're worth less ppi than a normal goal i can see pienaar having a chance of 3. should be tight either way.
