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.

          Honestly...I don't like the wc team.

          Henderson, el ahmadi are poor choices.
          Lacking a big hitter in defence. Your also going to be benching two Chelsea players this gw leaving your starting 11 not as strong.

          I would hold of for now.

            Something isn't right with the way we are playing, it's all too slow, maybe it's becasue Sunderland and Stoke parked the bus, we'll soon see i guess. We still need at least 2 quality players.

              Yeah I don't think your lot have looked good this far. Best case scenario the new guys just need to gel and will get their act together pretty soon. They're all kind of waiting for the others to do something as it stands now, at least that is what it looked like today to me.

  17. Captain Berbarossa - arrrrr…
    • 15 Years
    13 years, 5 months ago

    I always hear people say they wait for an international to do their wildcard but was just thinking with the maximum change being 0.3M between game weeks, doesn't this ploy become less effective now. Especially with most people already playing their wildcards early on causing big changes in NTIs and many players expected to rise 0.2 or more this week alone. This week in particular will see many a WC activated because of the blank.

    In truth I played my wildcard this GW because injuries and a lot of deadweight is cluttering up my squad but that's not to say I'm not going to take advantage of the wildcard-fest and multiple price rises that are likely to happen this week. I reckon 8 players in my squad could have at least 0.2M rise or more. Worth considering for those holding out on their WCs.

      I done this trade for a hit.
      However I would have had to play fabio or clyne.
      The way I see it is that baines is a great long term pick and will do well over the course of the season.
      U could play Cuellar if u don't want to take the hit. But terry is going to drop in price and baines may go up.

      First rule in fantasy FF. You don't take a point hit to get a defender.

      No one likes them i think . You have to have a certain begrudging respect considering their budget but their methods are highly questionable

        You think their budget is low, but just look at their net spend in the premiership, it's higher than a lot of teams...

      tend to agree. whole squad is replete with unadulterated scumbaggery. plus any team who'd have jon walters as a starting striker deserve relegation.. or worse

    Federici Juusi
    Lescott Ivanovic Rafael Demel Cuellar
    Mata Bale Michu Noble Marveaux
    Torres Tevez Graham
    So if I did Mata to Kagawa, would it also makes sense to do Torres to RVP (-4)?
    If I don’t then marveaux would play (or not) and prob get 1 pt. vs RVP would could get 5 or more making it a worthwhile hit and also covers the Lescott-eque surprise rotation that happened today
    Hit or not?

    Hazard in on Saturday. But for whom? Valencia is a right back risk and man u aren't really firing yet. Bale is playing well but spurs aren't. Caz is going to score some points soon surely?

    Any thoughts, can't decide. Will wait till afternoon the games anyway, just trying to get my head around it

      United have two good fixtures coming up. After that a bit of a nightmare run. Bale should starting scoring points I would imagine. Good run they have now.

      Looked up Caz on wiki and didn't like what I saw so went with other more offensive options. Hardly make or break research, but I'd rather go with Haz, Kagawa for example. Or Bale even if he isn't performing right now

        Cheers mate. I should go with form really. I'm swaying toward Caz out. Could always bring him back for Valencia if he doesn't improve

      Quite similar to my own team (link). Went for offenisve firepower instead of defensive. Hope that pays off longterm. Looks a good team to my eyes. With luck you may be able to bring in Aguero for Torres when he gets fit. Though you probably need to downgrade somebody too.

        I have Michu and I don't see Swansea keeping up this form enough to warrant doubling on their attackers.
