This was a Gameweek littered with outstanding performances, particularly in midfield where the array of talent jostling for spots in our squad now presents a major headache. This week’s bumper edition of “Big Numbers” for members carries out the usual exploration of the stats behind the Gameweek, with midfield options across all the price brackets gaining momentum and our keen interest…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    11k in for Mcauley this week

    1k for Ridgewell

    Just because of the goal and that he is second highest scoring defender or am I missing something?

      What's important is that one is getting loads of transfers and is going to make me a little money!

      McAuley in now, wait for .2 rise then switch to Ridgewell.

    I have been a perennial under achiever in FPL.I got sick of losing so have spent quite a bit of time on this website and thinking about my team. So far this season 4,103 overall, no hits, no wildcard, so think it is paying off (long season I know but pleased with the start). I just wanted to thank everyone, especially the regulars and the official site contributors, for their smarts and help.

    Speaking of which - over the next few weeks I want to tweak my team. I can't decide between getting another strong defender (vermaelen of Kompany maybe) or using space cash to upgrade Noble and/or Petric (perhaps Nolan and Fletcher). I could free up cash by downgrading a couple D's but for eg Davies from Swans. My team is copied below if anyone could spare 2 mins to give me their view about where I should go next. £1.7m in the bank too.

    Jussi/Beg
    Ivan/Clyne/Cuellar/Hange/Colocinni
    Hazard/Michu/Mclean/Noble/Toure
    RVP/Tevez/Petric

      Good to see a successful manager being gracious for once 🙂 RVP, Tevez and Hazard are the essentials at the moment in my opinion so you're looking pretty good. I'd get rid of Noble.

    Guys,

    Thinking of playing wc. Currently 83 points off the top of my ML and don't want that to increase. Current team below:

    DDG (Federici)

    BAE, Lescott, Hangekand (Fabio, Gorkss)

    Hazard, Kagawa, Michu, Pienaar (Noble)

    Tevez, Jelly, Graham

    Obviously I want RVP in and could do Kagawa > Nolan and Jelly > RVP but would be for -8 as already did Bale > Hazard.

    Or should I wc, not happy with my back line at all. Help appreciated.

    Cheers

      He's getting transfers out when he was on 95% to a .1 profit annoyingly.

      By the way, Forehead is here 😈

        May transfer him out for Nolan then, he's likely to rise twice.

        WHERE!? What did that tit have to say for himself?

    I did this last night for a laugh. I would actually do it though.

      Hi Count, I would. It's not cheap, but they all offer more than CSs.

      Remember Brum under McLeish?

      Foster and Ridgewell were incredible value.

      Dann, Carr and Johnson were decent too.

    Well, my family league is looking good for me, currently second, was third last week! Maria who is too decided they would get a trophy for the winner of the league and the H2H they started this week! She is only doing it because she is top, but I will be getting both of those trophies! That is a promise! By the end of the season I will post a picture of them, both of them 😀
