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.

      I have brought in RvP and Kagawa this week

      sto, WIG is too good to resist.

      Wouldn't get Barfa. I'd rather have McClean or Johnson, or Cazorla if you can afford him

      I'd save it... I don't like my team for this week - end up having to play Clyne against Man U, have Hazard Cole and Pog on the bench, but I knew it would be this way given the plan for GW1 and GW2. Did alright out of them, so just have to suck it up. Wildcard will be worth way more than a 4pter later. Only thought is to do Torres to Adebayor just for this week, which is what I've done... Don't like only playing 1 striker.

        Loading up RDG and CHE players and injuries of Rooney and Aguero have hit me hard this season.
        I don't like playing with one striker either. Just don't fancy another Tot player in as I have Bale already. Also I want to have Torres (or Hazard) from GW4 so keeping Nando saves me one transfer next week.
        But yeah, I think I'll save my WC for later.

        I've agonized over it, but I just think he's overpriced for this stage of the game. He was 12 I believe last year, sure he rose to 13+ over time, but by then most of us had more cash sloshing around. Wasn't going to go near with Rooney fit, the injury changes things, but still too expensive for now. Torres RVP Tevez is THE combo, but impossible to get right now without a crap midfield, and right now midfield is returning points. I played a 3-5-2 this week and it worked well...

      Dropped him for Adebayor for this week, most likely get him back unless Ade goes nuts. Pissed that Torres is rising tonight though, that wasn't in the plan. Not critical particularly, but a 0.1 I wasn't planning on losing when he comes back.

    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.

      A. I think you can ignore RVP at United even with Rooney out. Goals can come from anywhere on that United side. He was more of a lock for the goals, assists and points in Arsenal's squad last year. I think there are much cheaper options who can give you equal to or more than what RVP can give you at United and you can use that extra cash elsewhere.

    How much could I make off a WC during the international break ?
    Money wise via buying and selling

    Wondering if I should use it now to beat the rises to Hazard and RVP

    For it to he worth it I need to make around 0.4 ?
    Is it possible

    Does anyone have Torres, Tevez and RVP? If so how are you affording them while still having a good defence and midfield?

        Thats a good team in fairness. Will take a few points hits for me to be able to afford the three.

      Too many sacrifices involved at this stage I think. RVP's overpriced.

      Great. Never thought I'd see Routledge in a team ever again. Apparently Douglas is being sought after by Fulham which could put Hughes in doubt.

        Yeah hit the panic button, theory is I should have WC earlier last year and still finished well.

      Yep, him and Santon are under pressure but Simpson less so. Steven Taylor is the best bet if he can stay fit!

        To me Coloccini looks the strongest, but R.Taylor is the man to be added to the watchlist. He looked pretty sharp against Atromitos.

    People ask me why I don't have any tattoos and I say, "Would you put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari?"
