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.

    4 cheeky BPs from Vermaelen already, with PPI scores of 12 and 13 in each week.

    Very lucky, but very grateful.

      Sorry to hijack your thread with nothing useful to yourself, but where was Fellaini playing at the weekend? Behind the striker again? The average position maps do have him down as the most advanced central midfielder, but nowhere near as far up the pitch as against United.

      If Fellaini is consistently playing in behind Jelavic, then I'd get him, but I'm not convinced he will be.

    a) ivan > baines
    b) torres > ba
    c) torres ivan > rvp rangel/staylor -4pt (will be tough to get everton/chelsea/newcastle without more hits in near future gwks)
    d) None and save transfer

    cuellar up against graham and michu. so im thinking a) since id look to get in baines in gw4 anyway. although i do like newcastles fixtures and debating if rvp is a must despite torres form and hving kagawa…

          you have your priorities in the wrong order. Plus, once Europa starts I expect Barfa to become a rotation risk. Buying a player for 1 GW is a bad strategy unless you plan to wc the week after

      Yeah. Taarabt falling too, but games in midweek so some players may still get injured in mdweek.

      RvP may go up twice this week but probably will only rise once between now and Friday. Taarabt only likely to fall once this week too, so I think its worth holding fast until Thursday/Friday and just absorb the increase or loss.

      Like your front 3, pick a Chelsea mid to sell and get some United coverage. Kagawa looks central right now, might play 90 mins with Rooney injured. There's always Michu as well. Swansea fixtures still good.

    OK some advice on this problem please. I want Hazard in next week, but to do so I'll need to downgrade Taarabt and upgrade Nasri.

    So I plan to do

    Nasri>Hazard
    Taarabt>Guthrie/4.5 mid(who? Kaca even though I've got Petric?)

    As it stands I have 0.2mill breathing space for this move. But Taarabt is about to drop, Hazard is about to rise, and will probably rise again.

    Is it worth taking a 4pt hit now and sticking Kaca/Guthrie on my bench for this round, so I can be sure I'll have enough for Hazard next week?

      Just done the move myself, although I dont have Petric - the reality is (assuming your other midfielders are heavy hitters) its unlikely the 4.5 mid will play much anyway so think doubling up on Petric/Kaca is fine.

      Any hit you take for Hazard will likely be worth it to be fair, so you have nothing to lose.

      If you are that strapped can you manage to get him this GW and bench him?

    Thinking of going Mata out Kagawa IN for GW 3

    I would still havr Torres and Terry on the bench but thinking its worth keeping both. Team for GW3 would look like

    Al Habsi

    Jenkinson, Hangeland, Kompany, Figueroa

    El Ahmadi, Kagawa, Yaya Toure, Bale

    Tevez, Petric

    Are Chelsea players like hazard & Torres likely to rise before their blank?

    Is it worth wildcarding this week if I don't think I'll be able to afford my ideal team next week?

    Changes would be friedel to begovic, Cole to chico/rangel, Zabaleta to baines, fabio to Jenkinson/cuellar,valencia to kagawa, vdv to hazard and torres to rvp.

      If you can get a good team with a few well chosen hits then I'd be inclined to keep the WC.

      Also, if you have the good players you don't need to use the WC on International break as they will likely be the ones going up anyway.
