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…
Hi guys. First time here asking for a RMT for upcming GW3.
de Gea SOU (A)
Lescott QPR (H) - Demel FUL (H) - Hangeland WHM (A)
Noble FUL (H) - McClean SWA (A) - Dyer SUN (H) - Bale NOR (H) - Michu SUN (H)
Podolski LIV (A) - Tevez QPR (H)
Bench: Federici, Torres, Cashley and Fabio MCI (A)
Looking to keep Cashley and Torres cause next week against QPR i think they got a pretty good chance. Have 1 FT to give away with 2m in the bank. Any advice? Thinking of doing Podolski > Ade.Open Controls
Yeah, I would get rid of Podolski as well until he actually starts doing something, Ade would be the best bet - I would also keep Torres for the rest of the season if he keeps up the form he is in now
Open Controls
Any tottenham fans on? Or people who watched the game on the weekend...
How has VDV looked? Done enough to guarentee a start against Norwich? I'm gonna eventually get rid of him for Hazard but would rather do it in two trades next weekOpen Controls
Thanks for Manofkent and Nomar for your replays - had to work for a while...
I did vdv => kagawa this week for a hit and regretting that. As Nomar said, I have rvp so no need for kagawa, but that value game got best of me on saturday night.
My moves for gw4 will be;
Cole or Zaba => Cuellar or someone 4,5-5
+
Bale or Kag => Hazard
Actually little hoping that Bale stays quiet so it's easy to give him boot and makes my vdv to kag move better (gw4 home to wigan).Open Controls
Even if you regret your move, you shouldnt transfer Kags out just yet.. gw 3 and 4 looks really good, so plan to transfer him out gw5 instead imo
Hazard looks like a "must have" player, im not convinced yet.. too stubborn..Open Controlsyep, I took him for gw3 so of course not taking him out this week for another hit.
It all made sense saturday, like you say they have two great games coming up and also rooney out of those.
But I'm definetely taking hazard in next saturday. Can't watch his price to rise another 0,3 during international break without having him!Open Controls
Cole to Cuellar or Saylor/Rangel and Kagawa to Hazard should be do-able, no?
Open Controlsyes, but seem like a huge waste to get rid of kagawa when he has wigan at home.
It would mean I took a 8 point hit to give him one game instead of vdv's home game against norwich....oh dear, that sure doesn't make sense anymore!
Hopefully vdv's price goes down another 0,1 this week and he's benched next game...
Sorry for vdv owners tough.Open Controls
Just got back from Uni.
Who has risen and fallen in price?Open Controls
Open ControlsCheers.
Interesting to see Torres rising before a blank but good for me. Thank god hazard hasn't risen anymore. Also happy that I got rid of N'Zogbia before he dropped in price.Open Controls
who should i play?
Al-Habsi (H to Stoke) or Schwarzer (A to West Ham)?Open Controls
A)
Friedel Henderson
Vidic Cole Hangeland Demel Fonte
El Ahmadi Pienaar Michu Bale Valencia
Graham Tevez RVP
B)
Friedel Henderson
Saylor Rangel Hughes Cuellar Demel
El Ahmadi Pienaar Michu Yaya Hazard
Torres Tevez RVP
C) Friedel Henderson
Ferdinand Ivanovic Ivanovic Clyne Demel
Britton Pienaar Noble Kagawa Hazard
RVP Torres Tevez
Which one is the best?Open ControlsSorry Ivanovic 2 is Tierney.
Open Controls
You wildcarded didn't you?
Open ControlsNa I haven't mate A) is my current team haha. I am going by everyones advice atm, not sure I can wildcard in Hazard and Torres when they aren't playing.
Open Controls
one Ivanovic in C is Tierney
Open ControlsB) I suppose.
I like C but Rio is injured and I'm not sure they let you have 2 Ivanovic's?Open Controlshaha one of the ivanovic is Tierney. Would you go for B even with Torres and Hazard so I can afford it from now onwards.
Open ControlsI don't like the defence in B and I'm not sure what El Ahmadi will bring you over the course of a season but overall its good.
Do you need Torres and Hazard though? You may be better off leaving it as it is this week and then getting in Hazard (or Torres) next GW.Open ControlsYh I agree to an extent, the problem is being able to afford one of them, I could go B with Adebayor over Torres. Why don't you like Bs defence, has players from teams who are good defensively.
Open Controls
Increases:
Ivanovic, Jenkinson
Michu 0.2, Hazard, Fellaini, Nasri
Defoe, Adebayor, Tevez, Torres, RvP, PetricOpen Controls
Should I still keep Bale? Contemplating to sell him but want to give a chance for another week. Wise?
Open Controls
Of course you should keep him , Norwich Reading and QPR .
Open Controls+1
Open Controls
I'm giving him at least another 3 gameweeks (NOR,rdg,QPR)
Open ControlsI'm not sure if I'll be giving him that long to be honest with you.
This could end up like the Drogba saga a few years ago when he went about 2 months doing nothing. If you don't have Hazard, like me, and Bale blanks against Norwich I'd be VERY tempted to take him out for Eden for GW4.
Nice fixtures mean nothing if you can't capitalise on them.Open Controls
Who to bring in for 5 mil ?
Rangel, Coloccini, Gallas, or some ohter player ?Open Controls
Rangel among those lot
Open Controls
Any wise heads suggest what i should do.
Have used free transfer to do Torres to Adebyour
im sort of happy with that although bit peeved torres went up
should i spend points anywhere?Open Controls
You should be banned from asking advice.
Looks like a third sub 1k finish in a row.
🙄Open ControlsI would gamble defoe to Ba.
Open ControlsBaines.
Open Controlscant really do baines , and dont want take hit for a defender ,
whats putting me off swapping out defoe is tht next week i want to bring torres back , to give a front 3 of tevez torres adebyour so dont really want to spend points on a one week wonderOpen ControlsYou keep on referring to Baines. That extra 500k he costs more then Pienaar is annoying.
Does n't help that I bought Hazard/tevez/michu at a premium. Wish I went Tevez week 1 and not kun.
Baines is interesting as I think Pienaar will run out of steam, as he usually does. Back to the drawing board I suppose.Open Controls
Hazard 3000 odd NTI already today!
Open ControlsJust another reason why I had to WC this week.
Good luck to everyone WC after week 3.Open ControlsAt the moment...
Jussi/Bego
Hughes/Cuellar/Rangel/Mcartney*/Jenkinson*
HBA*/bale/Haz/pienaar/michu
Graham* or Graham*/Tevez/Rvp
Standard.
*=undecidedOpen ControlsI would consider gambling on Petric. Saylor>Rangel imo, but keep him in to earn some dosh.
Open ControlsNo Baines love?
Most chances created so far(13) even ahead of Cazorla and Hazard(7).Open Controls
I think most of us not wildcarding and not already with Hazard accept that he will be £10m by the time GW4 comes along.
We then have to decide whether to get him at that price or stick with Torres as our only Chelsea attacking cover.
Such is life.
Personally, I don't see the need to use a WC yet though and don't know if he is a must have for me since I have Torres. Will be interesting to see what Hazard owners will do en masse once he gets 'rested'.Open Controls
I hope whoever is getting Hazard gets him in today. Would make things so much easier.
Open Controls
1.000.000 NTI today, he still only rises 0.1M tomorrow
Open ControlsHe's rising today anyways. So it will cut down on the extra rises. 100% or 200% a person can rise by only 0.1 correct?
Open Controls
Anyone know will Vertonghen be nailed on for spurs?
Open Controls
Would people prefer to have
A. Bale and clyne
B. Kags and rangel
C. HBA and rangel + 1m to improve my 2x4.5m keepers.
Team has man u cover in Rvp, but no spurs or newcastle cover.Open ControlsHoward, Friedel or Krul?
Open ControlsSaw your team. Save the transfer. Baines & Hazard on your watchlist for GW4.
Open ControlsKk mate, Not sure how I can afford both of those though.
Open ControlsHow much in the bank?
Open ControlsNone lol
Open Controls
Saw ur teams above mate. I like b, I've just set that defence on my wildcard actually, no one from the big 5 but all are good defensive teams and offer good rotation.
Would u be so kind to comments on mine above?Open Controls
Krul.
Tottenham defence looks shaky and Baines is the best Everton coverage at the back.Open Controls
Saw so many squads having Bale in their line-up.
Just an idea, would it be wise to sell Bale for 4.5 points if I could line Tevez, RVP and Torres together for GW4? I hv Walker to cover for spurs.
Thoughts?Open ControlsBale has Norwich at home this week!
Open Controls
A more general discussion on season keepers
The trinity of Rvp tevez and haZard I fully agree with
I also think cazorla will be added to that list giving teams the standout threat from each of the top four teams
Question is how to build a team around that?
Well the remaining slot has to go to a budget striker petric graham or pig spring to mind, a saving elsewhere and one could stretch to ade too giving spuds coverage
In midfield two slots are taken, a 4.5 mid is necessary kac Guthrie or sterling
For the other slot u will have money for one expensive and one mid price to play the fixtures with
If u go for the ade option then it will be two mid mids
For the expensive slot kag silva bale slot nicely
For the mid price muchu everton Arfa spring to mind
For defence I'm trying to cover two teams with six mil options and find a mid price player at 5-5.5 for fixtures plus cueLlar and two 4 MLB bench. Earners
The real debate is where u deploy the capital either on ade Suarez or a better midfield option
Given the quality in the 6.5 bracket in midfield I'm leaning towards that being the optimal strayegyOpen ControlsPerhaps a more general discussion on season keepers

Should I get rid of Podolski or hold off. Arsenal aren't scoring goals at the moment. I already got rid of the waste of space that is Bent for Demba Ba and I am a little bit hesitant to take a hit for transferring out Podolski.
Open ControlsI hate taking hits. I have no idea what I was thinking putting Bent and Podolski. I thought Villa will be the surprise package this season but they have been poor. I think I will give Podolski untill GW 4 with Arsenal playing Southampton at home.
Open Controls
Morning chaps, so I've gone top heavy so far this season but can't help thinking my defence is starting to suffer. Team atm:
DDG, Federici
Cueller, Zabaleta, Hughes, Clyne, Gorkss
Bale, Cazorla, Michu, Guthrie, Nasri
Tevez, VP, Graham
An planning to switch Nasri/Bale to Hazard/Kagawa in GW4 but should I concentrate on strengthening my defence instead? Currently have
0.5m in the bank.Open Controls
Bump up hughes to one of the swansea 5.0 defenders - maybe drop zab to one of the 5.5 everton bunch to get cuellar up to a 5.0 someplace or gorkss back to hughes.
Open Controls
This article confirms my wish list of Rafael, Carzola and Baines.
*Calculates hits*Open Controls
With poor fixtures for Arsenal and their form also off I think Carzola can wait til GW7. The rest id like to own as well and already got Rafa from the start.
Open ControlsOf course.. I'm not knee jerking immediately. The two defenders are more of a priority..will need a few free transfers to make them work anyhow.
Open Controls
Baines is so tempting. I'm having Gw4 onwards.
Open ControlsI'm fighting the temptation to get him in next gw for a hit..with no £ in bank it'll take me 2 moves.
Open ControlsI would've if not for my 2 transfers confirmed aleady. Had to get rid of Mata and N'Zogbia(I know!).
Open ControlsI think I can tolerate the price rise on Baines.. I'll be moving Ivan for him so can absorb it unless he rises twice this gw, which I doubt. May even be able to sneak him in the following if he's quiet this gw.
Nzog was a valid choice.. not a great one but valid 😀Open Controls
so i finally settled on this team:
begovic, jussi
baines, saylor, rangel, cuellar, clyne
hazard, kagawa, yaya, michu, kaca
rvp, tevez, graham
0.3 in bankOpen ControlsWC team?
Open Controls
Help, what should I do? I have 3 chelsea players (Torres, Haz and Cash) in my team and I also have guthre. They won't be playing next week, so what should i do?
DDG Fede
Demel Cash Less Cuellar Clyne
Hazard McClean Bale Michu Guthrie
Tevez Torres Petric,
I won't get rid of Hazard.. I've been thinking to get rid of Torres for Ba or Cisse next game week and then get torres back into my team, but his price will be rise again?Open Controls
I'm in the same boat plus i think Clark is out on a red card and Taraabt is dropped. crappy.
i am struggling to resist wildcarding and just taking a 4pt hot to transfer two players.
how much spare cash you got?Open Controls
Before gw4, how many games does Hazard play? International etc...
Open Controls3. 2 international, 1 supercup I believe.
Open ControlsI'm worried about the same. He is rising like a beast. Pratik that said, he is involved in everything good that Che do. Everything.
Open ControlsI still can't believe how everyone said he was average in pre-season, and now everything thinks he is a season-keeper. The truth about fpl is that we are fickle-minded creatures. So I am always wary.
.
I did grudgingly accept that point yesterday. But Am still wondering when I should get him in? But if Bale rocks gw3, (10pts or more), I am gonna delay the Hazard transfer for sure.Open Controls
What is up with the hype around Rafael?
Open Controls
I thought I did ok this week with 60 but dropped 50,000+ places. Some really heavy scoring again this week.
What with Mancini's rotation policy, I think Lescott has to go but having made 1 trade already it will be for a hit (probably for Baines). If he doesn't play next week I can only field 10 players. Grrr. Decisions decisions.
And with United shaky at the back, DDG isn't value for money at the moment. Bale may drop this week, and Hazard looks like he might hit 10m before the weekend despite the blank.
Cazorla looks great but neither he nor Arsenal have an end product.
Lots of things to consider! What are Bale, Santi, Lescott owners doing?Open ControlsGW20 and GW21 are games when a few maches will play, right ?
