Sunday’s action brings an end to our first weekend of the season – a breathless 3-2 victory for Man City providing a fitting conclusion. Here’s our regular Members article, picking out some of the key stats from the weekend’s games…
Wanna have Southampton attack coverage after yesterday's match, who is most nailed on (previously thought Lambert but he didn't start)?
Open Controls
I can't see Lambert spending much time on the bench after yesterday. They looked so much better with him on.

Open Controls
Just did Lampard to Michu. Good or bad trade??
Open Controls
So, when everybody is fit, will Kacanwhatshisfaceic be 'nailed on'?
Open Controls
I would say the shirt is his for the time being, he played, they won, he scored..........why not?!
Open Controls
Kacaniklic. Kaca-nee-klic. Seems nailed on yes, especially after he scored.
Open ControlsHmmm, conflicting views. Just as I thought. Ta all.
Open ControlsNope, but he's a cheap option for the WC if a sure starter.
Open Controls
Dempsey/Dempsey's replacement
Open Controls
I'm facing a tricky situation where I have an injured Aguero, Federici, Guthrie, Terry, Lampard and Torres. To avoid hits, I would have to use one of my FT on one of the GW3 absentees for the first two GWs and retain Aguero on the bench, so that I would have all 11 by GW3.
Anyone in the same situation?Open Controls
Morning! 🙂
Open Controls
Very excited to see Uniteds line-up tonight. I`m pretty sure that Kagawa will become the next "must have" player. He was outstanding in Germany and now has the chance to play with Rooney and RVP...might take some time to settle in however...
Open Controls
One of my main rivals has already done 3 transfers! Any of your rivals done anything interesting?
Open Controls
all of them got Michu, i lost my diffenrential 😳
Open ControlsHow do you even do that face?
Open Controls- Open Controls
👿
Open Controls
By making that face to your computer screen. 😆
Open Controls
ouch.. popular transfer that one. my rival "claims" that michu wasn't involved in one of those three transfers.. have to take that with a pinch of salt I think.
Open Controls
You can see that by his bank balance, if he has 100.1 (or XX.1), then he has Michu (as long as he did it before the transfer rise, obviously..)
Open Controls
clearly if a differential performs well and is cheap they will no longer be differentials...
Open Controls
michu and petric i think so ....
Open Controls
As much as I'm enjoying the points, I kinda wish Michu hadn't bagged that brace... All the casuals are onto him now!
Open Controls
not owning Michu is gonna be my differential 😎 . Seriously though, enjoy the points and stick with him for 7 weeks. Most casuals will get rid of him and move on to mclean etc if michu has one stinker in the next 3
Open Controls
There's still Dyer and Graham for the crafty points.
Open Controls
Graham will bash more points than Chu Chu by the end off the season
Open ControlsMad how little interest there seems to be in Dyer. I've got my full quota already (Michu, Graham, Rangel) but if I was allowed 4 I'd probably squeeze Dyer in too! Swansea still a great source of bargains this year.
Open ControlsSinclair and Hernandez may derail the dyer wagon soon enough
Open Controls
Quick question guys.
I have mata aswell for this dgw and im wondering if he doesnt play, will my first sub be used? If so then I have Kacaniklic who got 9 points at the weekend.
....Open Controls
no
Open Controls
Doos/West Ham fan.. I want a Noble review pls. Got 15 ppi without assistin or scorin so could be a good bet for bps in 0-0's. Did he hog set pieces vs Villa? Attackin threat in open play?
Open Controls
Excellent, imho. Was the main, almost the only creative spark. Set pieces, yes. Goal came from a flick on at a set piece, bundled in by Nolan.
Open Controls
Why is everybody jumping on Michu, and not Dyer?
Open ControlsHis name?
Open ControlsHe got an asisist and plays more centrally. More known for goal scoring than Dyer I suppose.
Open ControlsAh, the rules of the wagon are arcane indeed. Price point, eye catching goal, name, siggy, no Podilski / Bale brace, no MUN / MCI till the day after.
Open ControlsEh?
Open ControlsPeople are giving their reasons, all valid. these are just a few more from behind the veil of mystery that is the bandwagon, particularly the first of ea new season. It's a delicate beastie, the wisdom of crowds, it's often the wisdom of none.
And that sort of thing.Open Controls
🙂 brilliant
Open Controls
He's the shiny new toy.
Open Controls
Coz "everybody" think Michu will score 2+1 in every game?
Points missed is.. well, missed.. Ive got Michu, happy with it (ofc) but I dont expect him to deliver like that much more...
Several of my minileague rivals already have problems with their team, forced transfers.. so Im pretty happy even if my score was badOpen ControlsI have both.
Open Controls
Is there any news on whether Ramires will play the midweek game against Reading?
Open Controls
really tempted by mcclean,
he still looks like a bps whore as always.Open Controlswas probably the only player that looked like doing anything against Arsenal...
Open Controls
Hi can anyone tell me is Jenkinson and Bertrand short term for Arsenal and Chelsea would be nice for two 4.5 defenders from one of the top 5 teams.
Open Controlsjenkinson will probably only play 1 more game
Open ControlsJenks played well tho
Open Controlssurely he won't keep doing that though?!
Open ControlsWell, neither will, sadly!
I was really flirting with getting one, went for Gibbs instead as I took my risks in midfield.
I ouldn't spend a tranfer getting either in at this stage, but if on a WC I'd have bertrand. Jenkinson is very temporary and other gunners are only 1 more. Bertrand could be in an out all season in all positions. Not bad for a 4.5? You'd have to play him most often and risk the cameos.Open Controls
its true, I hope he stays!
Open Controls
Yes, very short term.. depending on when Sagna returns, Jenkinson should get more starts tho until Sagna returns
Open Controls
Sitting on 45 with 4 to go. Reasonably pleased with the start. Torres to rip it up on Wednesday tho.....
Open Controls
Think people need to calm down think about trades and not rush into every bandwagon going. If you have Swansea attacking coverage then, probably, you're ok without Michu - he was great but one gw people! WCding this early is mad - don't do it IMO.
That is all.Open ControlsEverybody, gET MICHU IN RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and tevez.
Open Controls
Not madness at all considering Swansea have two easy home games coming up.
Open ControlsI don't disagree with that. I have Dyer and Graham for that reason.
I'm just trying to say chill out a bit more and, now that the price rise has happened, watch the ManU game before jumping to hit the button. Personally i am as excited about the good Spurs game and have VDV and Bale for next week (even if this wk was a shocker).Open Controls
No matter what I do, I'm hanging on to my wild card until March or April. It always comes in handy for the final run-in when there's always a few double gameweeks. I really feel like knee jerking but I'm not going to get any points that I missed.
Open Controls
most sensible thing I have read on here all day.
Open Controls
Manchester United look set to sign defender Alexander Buttner from Vitesse Arnhem, according to reports in the Netherlands.
The Dutch left-back, 23, told Omroep Gelderland: "This is truly a dream come true. It all went very quickly and I am of course very happy."Open Controls
Not all of my players overachieved in GW1!! Help, should I wild card, or take a 16pts hit?
Open Controlsyeah go for it, everyone is doing it
Open Controls
Wildcard! Why have you not already? Price rises!
Open Controls16 point hit.
You can wildcard sometime later when you face a 20 point hit.Open Controls

First off a brief rant...
"BP allocations were outrageous"
... OK That's me done for the next 36 gameweeks. Leaving me a WC rant for the season end if things are close.
Happy enough with the first weekend and a top 200k start. Final transfers work out well - but ironically cost me points by keeping Noble and Cuellar on the bench. Particularly happy that I only lost 99 minutes of game time from my squad after Beausejour picked up an injury, and acquired no yellow cards.
Thinking of switching Mata to Michu for GW2 and opting for Bale as captain. Mata's potential for being a rotation risk means that I need to deal with this problem before starting to worry about Torres, Defoe - and the lack of ManU coverage.
Make sense?Open Controls
So what's the lowdown on Steven Davis from Southampton? I know team selection was a little different for the game against City yesterday so am curious if he's usually a regular and if anyone sees any value in him perhaps at 5mil?
Just plotting and gathering general feedback...Open Controls
Decent player ive watched him the last few years great at picking a pass but i dont envisage too many attacking returns over the season though.
Open Controls
I am rather happy with the BPs - but then, I got 6!!! 🙂
Open ControlsI am too 🙂 very happy with them.
Open ControlsNone ðŸ™
Open ControlsI got 9 BPs but my rank went down 1k after I did so.
Open Controls😯
Open Controls
Nope. 3 x 2. Lampard, Yaya & Vermaelen. 🙂
Open Controls
3 Nasri
3 Kightly
for me.Open ControlsThe slowly changing algorthim may finally be starting to come good.
Open Controls
3, Petric ðŸ™
Open Controls
can someone who watched the tot game tell me how bale looked? mata to bale was what i planned before this weekend, still think its a good idea with graham still playing.
Open ControlsI know it early but thoughts for next gmwk captain?
I've shortlisted 5 candidates that include:
Bale
Sessegnon
Michu
RVP
BentOpen ControlsI quite fancy Bale.
Open ControlsI may cross Michu off because I dont like captaining players in the early kick off because if they do next to nothing I then have to sit through the rest of the gameweek knowing my captain pick has failed.
Open Controls
Graham 😎
Open Controlsthat's why i am getting in a united coverage for a hit
Open Controls
Agreed.
Open Controls
Hey folks, quick question.
Joe Allen to Dyer or Hoilett to Michu??
.5mil in the bank
CheersOpen ControlsHas anyone seen the clip of Kamara trying to pronounce kacaniklic?
Open ControlsI don't watch car-crash TV. 😉
Open ControlsI don't get it.
Open Controls
Saw it live, it was great 😛
Open ControlsHe never dissapoints 😀
Open Controls
at the risk of being hit with a hailstorm of abuse i just want to point out that torres could have easily ended with a goal and an assist. i really would like him to score well against reading if only to see how people on here suddenly change their tune on him
Open ControlsI hear you, but bottom line.. he didnt play very good imo.. But hes not the only one to blaim, several times where he should get a nice thru ball but didnt.. Lamps played wide left most of the times instead...
But agree, lets wait and see what happens...Open ControlsHe was guaranteed a goal until that newbie had to be all heroic and block the shot on the line...I keep forgetting they have a home game. He could easily score a hat trick!
Open ControlsFPL is a fickle world my friend. don't hate the player, hate the game! 😉
Open ControlsI wanted 20 points from him (after doubling). 60 minutes, a goal and 2 baps v Reading and that's that.
Truth is though, after 8 minutes Chelsea weren't exactly great. He didn't have the best of service. Reading is the easier game and where I expected the points to come. 20 is still the target.Open Controls
Breaking news: he's crap.
