With the Gameweek completed by a classic Anfield tussle, it’s time for our members to scan some of the key statistics from the weekend matches to help identify the form and trends that could help shape future Fantasy selections…

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

    Looking to do a 4 point hit to try and sort out my team as it’s in a bit of a mess, which set of transfers do you prefer?

    A. Rooney and Taarabt to Tevez and HBA (keep and bench Torres)

    B. Rooney and Torres to Tevez and RVP (keep and bench Taarabt)

    Was set on A but not sure I can ignore RVP, although I think Rooney might return sooner than expected for Wigan in GW4 after the international break.

      You MUST get rid of Mata and either:
      Bring in Hazzard
      Or downgrade to someone like Ben Arfa and then you have about 4.5 mill in the bank to upgrade Petrc to someone like Adebayor, Papa Cisse or Suarez. I think Hazzard is a must own now... His price is rising by the day!
      You could also swap Mata for Hazzard and Noble for Ben Arfa possibly... Decent squad then with a great 1st choice bench player. Lots of teams rotating this year and the bench player will be pkaying 50% gameweeks. Noble is week.. Hope this helps

      I've gone with:

      A - B - B (C - C)

      A is a big hitter (Baines, Ivanovic, Zabaleta etc)
      B is a mid price (Rangel, Hangeland etc)
      C is a cheapie (Demel, Jenkinson, Cuellar etc)

      Working a treat as I've gone with Zabaleta, Rangel, Hangeland (Demel, Cuellar)
      Although Zab hasn't got me the points I'm after, they will get you consistent points through out the season. Rangel and Hangeland are in good form with good fixtures and cheap options that rotate and fill the bench.

          Taylor's the biggest goal threat and was a bit of a bonus magnet start of last season, although he is a bit injury prone and could potentially be rested for a key European game if we make it through, although this is a very very small chance imo.

          Santon gets forward a lot down the left so I'd expect a few more assists for him this season.

          Colo is the 100% nailed on option.

          I'd go for Taylor, I will be when I get round to getting one in.
