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.

      fantastic (c) punt. I can hand-on-heart say that Torres didn't cross my mind once this GW, let alone as a captaincy choice.

            +1 and good that his emergence has come fairly late, hopefully not too much media hype going into the bleeding tournament. Redknapp would've been the typical 'England' choice i.e. an inevitable disappointment.

      As a Charlton fan I would have absolutely loved that a few years ago, and he's one of the best english managers in the last 15 years.

      However he's been too long out of management for me at the moment. Would need him to be in another job for a couple of years before he'd be ready to step up to England manager.

    I took a 16 pt hit but brought in Torres and captained him, also Terry, VDV, Bale and Jelly. Made up 40 pts on league leader with 10 dgw players to go. 81pts in the bag so far this week and only 7 pts behind leader who has 8 to play. I love DGW`s. I reckon max Bonus pts for Torres & Jelly but surprised if VDV got any. He didn't do much, other than score.

    Anybody else thinking of getting someone from Wigan in for last 2 matches? I might get Moses or Maloney in for McClean

      am thinking the same thing

      am looking at McClean (or Siggy) and Cisse to Moses and Rooney for -4. Could be persuaded to go Maloney, as he is on pens, but Moses seems to be the key guy.

      Think he'll play till the 60 min mark or make a 20 min cameo. Depends on how Newcastle turn up really.

    Well, after watching those 2 spineless, clueless, hopeless performances by Blackburn and QPR I hope the pair of them get relegated and Wigan & Bolton stay up. I'm very disappointed in Blackburn I have to say - I really thought they'd have more fight about them but that was anemic in the extreme.

        Morning Udit.

        I support Blackpool. The rest of my extended family support City. Blackpool vs City was the first game I ever went to! I'd say City were my second team even though I was at Wembley in 1969 when they won the FA Cup ( I was only a wee bairn and remember almost nothing, though ).
        How about you?

    Anyone else see that stat that if the League table started recording points since Fabio Capello resignation was announced, Tottenham would be in 19th place, only above wolves?

    Truly a house of cards if there ever was one in EPL.
