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…
Hughes or Wilson or Higginbotham or Cuellar
Pick 2.Open ControlsI have him and as a spurs fan I am selling him.
Open Controls
If this is serious, you are lucky. I have other problems to sort out considering Bale's fixtures 🙁
Open Controls
me, defo keeping him, especially with his fixtures coming up.
Open Controls
Giving him a kick up the arse and sending him out v Norwich
Open Controls
hopefully g=he will be assisting Ades goals
Open Controls
Norwich at home next... keep = no brainer.
Open Controls5 goal attempts made by Gareth Bale in the 1-1 draw with West Brom. His owners will be getting twitchy as a result of two tepid results and performances from Andre Villas-Boas’ men but Bale’s numbers do at least suggest that he’s far from in decline. No other midfielder in Saturday’s matches attempted more shots and will 11 penalty box touches, he also saw more of the ball in the box than any other midfielder.
Open Controls
Good assessment. He also got in a load of crosses and with Ade to get on the end of them instead of Defoe, should get some assists.
Open Controls
If you actually read this article then you'd know what to do with him 🙂
Open Controls
Do you think Ivanovic to Baines would be worth it for a 4-point hit and I would play him over Cuellar??
Open Controls
replied on last page.
Open ControlsNo.
Open ControlsCan you see Cuellar getting a clean sheet away to Swansea?
Open ControlsIt's not about that. I don't advocate hits for defenders, but my defence this week is so pants that -4 is probably the best way to go. I don't think it is for you.
Open Controls
Who do you guys reckon is the better fwd to have GW4 onwards:
Tevez or Torres? (Both isnt an option :))
many thanksOpen Controls
My team is linked I transferred Mata out and got Kagawa in.
Now I am wondering for gameweek three am I right to have Petric first sub or should I start him?Open Controls
Transfer out Nani or VdV? And for who? 0.0 in bank.
Open Controls
-repost-
Begovic al-habsi
Rafael baines demel rangel X
Bale michu pinaar guthrie kagawa
Petric rvp tevez
Any ideas for X have 5.2 in the bank
Any other changes needed?Open Controls
I'm thinking of swapping Cuellar for S. Taylor as I prefer Newcastle's chances of cleansheets in the next four games.
Is this a good move or is the Sunderland double gameweek likely to come at some point in the next four gameweeks?Open ControlsHoward, Friedel or Krul? Regardless of other defenders.
Open Controls
Howard for fixtures
Open Controls
Milanista you on?
if you are what do you say at Milan/Inter start in the new season 😉 ?Open Controls
Any love for some WBA players, boys & girls? Morrison looking tasty!
Open Controls
Odemwingie is a good differential for the next few weeks
Open Controlsgood point
i was had him in my draft pre-season but i replaced him for michu so can't complaine
looking forward to get him in my team in futureOpen Controls
Mr Ridgewell
Open Controls
Resident WBA fan RTWAS (?) was tellig me that Morrison is a rotation risk as are the other attackers.
I like WBA, though. Ridgewell is not leaving my team!Open ControlsYou and ITWT above aren't afraid to splash the cash for mid table team defenders. Kudos to you, wish I was as brave
Open Controls
help needed lads, my midfield is bale, mcclean, taarabt, n'zogbia & (lamps).
1: 4 pointer, lamps to kags & bench taarabt
2: start taarabt & hope he plays, if he doesnt it'l be clark or cuellar off the bench
3: 4 pointer, sell taarabt, would have 6.9million to spendOpen Controls
Just touching on the Torres argument again. Is he really due to go up tonight? I want him but wanna wait obv. Surely if he does go up he'll come back down?
Open Controls
he is on 99% very likely to go up tonight
Open Controls
He'll rise tonight for sure. Since he has a blank just wait on it. Price won't come down any time soon though...
Open Controls
It's really annoying, but yes. Doubt he'll go up again when people realize he's not playing, but doubt he'll fall either. I swapped him for Ade just for this week, guess my only hope is Ade rises again so I make the 0.1 back.
Open ControlsAde will have to rise .2 for that to happen. It won't though because people look at his history not his future.
Open Controls
Torres -> Van Persie?!?!?!?!?!
Thoughts...Open ControlsNah.
Open ControlsAh! Another member of my anti-RVP vendetta 😉 Cheers King Cabbage

13m for RVP is ludicrous.Open Controls
RVP, is he worth it.
I've been keeping an eye out for ppl posting their rmt which included rvp and I've come to the conclusion.
RVP is a risk.
He risks rotation all season unless rooney is off to real Madrid.
Having 13 mil upfront for one player is a huge drain on the rest of your team unless.
Torres is pretty much nailed on at Chelsea and 3.0 is the difference between Walters and kag.
Don't get me wrong RVP has the potential to do great things but I've watched the two games he's featured in and I'm not too impressed.
Thoughts?Open Controls
Shame City/Chelsea don't rotate or Tevez/Torres would be a good combo for the price, but as i wouldn't trust any utd midfielder with the capt, i feel i need to get RVP in somehow. anyone else feel the same?
RVP/Tevez. Perfect captaincy rotation 🙂Open Controls
I'm surprised at everyone saying he is essential. He really isn't, there are plenty of alternatives which offer far greater value. RVP just wont score enough goals to justify his price and when we start to go into European games and Cup games he WILL be rotated with Welbeck and Hernandez, Rooney also when he returns. Do you really want to risk having a 13m striker on the bench?
Open Controlsyep it not like at arsenal last season.
There were plenty of occasions where wenger wanted to rest him but couldnt, due to having no real alternative. Different situation at utd. And it will be the easy ones he missesOpen Controls
I agree 100%. Ok RVP is brilliant. Quality player. BUT Id rather have a few quality players had than one and a few poor ones to be able to afford that one. Having him wrecks the rest of your team. This week Graham scored one point less than him and is 7m cheaper.
Open Controls
RVP's price is prohibitive and Torres looks like he can get you similar points for £3m less.
If you had Hazard and Rooney from the off then I'd say get RVP but if, like me, you have Torres already then maybe better off keeping him and getting Kagawa instead.Open ControlsAgreed in the long term.
But if people have lots of money in the bank they might as well do the transfer for the next 4 weeks fixtures.
But if you not have the money and have to take hits I do not think it is worth it. There are cheaper better value options.
Although, the advantage for RVP owners is they would be more inclined to captain RVP and double any big scores.Open Controls
dempsey to have a medical at sunderland tomorrrow
source talksport mooseOpen ControlsWhich one to bench?
Assou-Ekotto (NOR), Williams (SUN), Cuellar (swa), Hughes (whm), Demel (FUL).Open Controls
Well it worked for me even though Caulker and McLean didn't play
Open Controls
howcome tierney didnt start for norwich yesterday? and is there a chance of lescott returning to city's starting xi?
Open ControlsOf course there is, Lescott is first choice with Kompany, but we learnt today that he can be rotated.
Open Controls
Thinking about doing:
Lampard and Rooney -> HBA and RVP for a hit. And I have Kagawa.
Is it worth the hit?
Team is linked.
Any suggestions?Open ControlsSounds good. Or instead of Barfa go Pienaar?
Open Controls
Price changes tonight
Risers
RvP, Tevez, Petric, Nasri, Jenkinson, Torres
Possible Risers
Kaca, Michu, Kagawam Jags, Duff, Hazard, Rangel, Dyer
Fallers
Sinclair, Taarabt, Gueye, Park, Boselli, Ramsey, Rodallega, Young, Rooney, Holman, Walters (and loads of players hardly anyone owns)
Possible Fallers
Ramires, Maiaga, Snodgrass, Welbeck, Raylor, Allen, Naismith, K. Toure, TerryOpen Controlsthanks
Open ControlsValencia or not?
Open ControlsHe's on 86.5% atm, it will be tight, but I think he will be ok, the rate out is not that high. Silva is at the same level, but has a much higher rate of transfers out, he could easily fall as well.
Open Controls
Cheers JK
Open Controls
Will Michu and Kags rise??
TotalFPL: 91.3%, 87%
FISO: 99%, 94%Open ControlsWhy on Gods Earth have people transferred Bale out when his match stats suggest he's been unlucky not to register a goal and he's facing the leagues poorest team at home in his next game?
You can only take a horse to water...Open Controls
No returns + not looking at stats. + bringing in players such as Hazard/Kagawa.
Open ControlsLook at stats then lol. Also look at fixtures.
Bale plays Norwich - Hazard has no game.Open Controls
idiocity basically
Open ControlsI'm tempted to keep faith with the big C next to his name
Open Controls
Hazard is taking the PL by storm. A proper assist machine. Does anyone know the record amount of assists in a season?
Open Controls
A) Pienaar (wba, NEW, swa, SOT, wig, qpr)
or
B) Ben Arfa (AVL, eve, NOR, rdg, MUN, sun)
or some other midfielder under 8m I have Michu alreadyOpen Controls
How do price falls work?
It looks a bit messy on the FISO site, compared with price rises.Open Controls
I thin it might be a % of ownership lie 10% or something
Open Controls
Anyone got any advice on what you would do with this team?
Considering WC...
Jaask - Fed
Vermailen - kompany - ivanovic - Harte - Fabio
Cazorla - Y Toure - Kagawa - Allen - Puncheon
Tevez - P Cisse - Petric
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!Open Controls1) Your backline is too expensive
2) You midfield and forwards are lacking. Cazorla has shown promise but has yet to really catch fire. Allen is the same way, great and composed for LFC today but has yet to spark.
I recommend NOT wildcarding this week as you'll want Chelsea cover because of form after their blank this week...plan on fixing it after GW3Open ControlsIf you can sort your keepers out you could get away with the rest for GW3
Open ControlsBeen thinking of this as a WC
Thoughts?
Begovic - Vorm
Demel - Rengel - Vermailen - Baines - Ivanovic
Bale - Yaya - Michu - kaca - Kagawa
Tevez - Ba - Petric
And will transfer bale for hazard in gw 4?
Is this a mad time to do this? I just see so many price rises coming...
I appreciate the advice so far lads, all very clear and a lot to think about.
CCC I have Kag!Open Controls
after gw 3
Open Controls
Lukaku has been looking dangerous. expensive at 6.5m though
Open ControlsDo people think Hazard and Torres will continue in the same form after GW3?
