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…
Sigurdsson to Cazorla tonight and hope nothing happens the little maestro over the break?

Anyone in the "Cloud 9 head to head league"?
If so who is RoysCallerAnne?Open Controls
Must have players for those wildcarding, or players even close to must have?
Open Controls
so who are the sleeping giants of this early stage of the season? any players who haven't quite delivered yet but are about to?
Open Controls
all subs and BPS added correct?
Open Controls
Yep
Open Controls
with champions league coming up you think hazard will be rested?
Open Controls
Can't see it. He may get subbed early if Chelsea are cruising.
Open Controls
Anyone at all considering Dempsey for their WC?
Open Controls
If you had to drop one of Bale or Kagawa who would you drop? I have RVP.
Open ControlsBale
Open Controls
well bale is dropping in price tonight if that makes any difference...
Open Controls
What site are you using now - fpl seems to not show it any more....

Would you wc this? dont like ferdinand, noble, de gea, bale and mulitple price drops are immenint.
De Gea, Jaaskelainen
Zabaleta, Clyne, Williams, Cashley, Ferdinand(QPR)
Kagawa, Yaya, Noble, Bale, Guthrie
RVP, Graham, Tevez

Cheers for the help. If i wc i may get in mcualey, hazard, demel etc.Open Controls
Wildcard or not?
DeGea Fed
Ivan Zaba Cuellar Demel Clyne
Hazard Cazorla Kagawa Michu Noble
Torres Tevez Graham
Problems: DeGea, Ivan, Zaba, Kagawa, Noble, Graham, No RVP.
I'm currently on NO!
Thanks 😀Open ControlsDef not
Open Controls
I would probably stick. Noble, Kaga, DDG and Graham are not really urgent problems. I would stick.
I wildcarded but I was in much more of a mess.Open Controls
No, it looks recoverable to me 🙂
Open Controls
Maloney and RvP in for kagawa and torress
Open ControlsAbsolute no brainer tbh. Get RvP in now before he does more damage and then u bring him in a few wedks
Open Controls
I wildcarded with less.
The way I see it is that now is perhaps the last chance to get RVP.
My team was slightly worse than yours though (no Bale over Hazard, Ade over Torres, no Cazorla or Michu)Open Controls
Bale -- Nolan
Kawaga -- Maloney
Petric -- RVP
worth the 8pt hit ???Open Controls- Open Controls
Isnt there somewhere you can check to see how many people have wildcarded?
Open ControlsAh ok, thanks all.
Open Controls
IF Ronaldo left Real Madrid.. realistically, who might he transfer to?
Open Controls
not a chance would madrid do that...
Open Controls
Liverpool

Not going to happen.....

Open ControlsHopefully back to utd
Open ControlsArsenal. Wenger has been saving 😉
Open ControlsUnited probably.

May have made a mistake in not leaving a Hazard fund in my WC team...but at the same time, with Michu/Nolan/HBA all looking good mid price bets and RVP/Tevez providing a captain option every week, I'm struggling to see him as anything like a must-have. Cazorla meanwhile is 1mil cheaper and I think in the coming weeks will match him once the CL begins to take its toll.
Open Controls
krul (federici)
rio, ivanovic,zabaleta, (rangel, barnett)
hazard, michu, yaya, carzorla (britton)
tevez, petric, torres
My gameeweek scores so far are 84, 81, 76 ...So made a good start. But.....No RVP!!
Is he absolutely essential?
Is this worth it???...torres, carzorla > rvp, routledge (4 point hit)Open Controls
over the course of a season torres and carzorla will outscore rvp and routledge
Open Controls
Was just checking there and it turns out that there are three other people from this site in my public H2H league. Anyone one here "Boca Seniors" "Rekreapivici" or "Siggy Spursdust"?
Open Controls
They're all spying on you at this exact moment...
Open Controls
At what NTI does the players get a price rise? How is that system?

Guys need some help, Bale is going but toss up between Cazorla or Ben Arfa? Normally go Cazola but fixtures look tough where as Ben Arfa seems easier (on paper), who should I bring in?
Open Controls
Hi I wantr to sharing my thoughts so far and get some opinions
1. This has been the healthiest season for fpl in awhile. So many good choices in fwds, mids {but however, good cheap defender is hard to find}
2. AVB doesnt seem like the "bad" manager. I think he has been unlucky in two games, tactically maintained possession just lacked a cutrting edge that I am sure will come as the players gel and Sigurdsson finds his feeting. Dembele is also a solid signing
3. Some midfielders that might replace Bale {if he doesnt score/assist soon}:
Kagwaa. I watched him play last two games. He can find space but his small frame gets bullied off the ball too easily, and he seeming to still not adapt creatively to the fast pace.
Cazorla. Haven't seen his matches, but based on his pricing tag and his reports of the peffomance he has raw potential IF other Aresnal attackers can support {which I doubting}
HBA. Watched him playing last game and he is really dangerous talaented. Dribble, create chances, and great shot-takng abillity He also took free-kick with Ryan Taylor now out, I don't want to create another "band-wagon", but I sold BAle for him instead of Kagawa {mioght not be good to do this week though, with Kagawa better fixture}
CheersOpen Controls
Hey all, I'm looking to save .4 on a WC team. Thinking Yaya to Barfa, any thoughts?
Yaya's got the better stats on the comparison tool, by a distance, but got MC coverage in Tevez. No Toon anywhere so seems to make sense but...well, it's difficult this whole taking FF seriously isn't it? 😉Open ControlsKind of Beric but it's a choice between a couple of teams...and I knew you'd be on here, can't be doing any RMT's now, can I?
Open Controls
You can RMT all you like, I'm shocked that a couple of goals from a dutchman has induced your wildcard so early
Open ControlsNot done yet, don't get too hopeful! Just tinkering around with it, you got another few points on me this week, need to start looking to catch them up somewhere. Maybe I'll just get a load of differentials and hope...
Open Controls
So.. who is taking hazard next year? he'll probably cost like 12
Open ControlsHow does this wc team look?
Jas Begovic
Mcauley Cuellar Demel Clyne Clarke
Michu Nolan Yaya Hazard Cazorla
RVP Fletcher TevezOpen Controls
Cazorla's not rising tonight. Defensive rotation spreadsheets are doing my head in now. One of the pains of WCing. Time to log out and look at my defence another time. Love the rest of my team though (on paper...)
Open Controls
A) gibbs and rangel
B) baines and this new swansea davies chap (is he nailed on?)Open ControlsB, and i believe he is nailed on, yes.
Open Controls
-4pts and I now have this for next week:
Ruddy (WHU)
Rafael (WIG), Vert (rdg), Davies (avl)
Santi Cazorla (SOU), Hazard (qpr), Michu (avl), Routledge (avl)
RVP (WIG), Tevez (stk), Podolski (SOU)
Kinda Swansea heavy, but they have decent enough fixtures for now.
£1.5m in the bank so I'll be looking at Routledge->McClean or something longer term.
Feels good to see 5 starred players in there!Open ControlsLovely team 😀
Open Controls😀 😀
Hazard was the one piece I felt I was really missing. Now it's all sorted!
And I really don't mind having Vert for the time being, he's been 3mins away from a CS twice.Open ControlsOne of my main worries tbh is Michu. Routledge and the other wingers looks A LOT more involved than he is, but he just keeps picking up them goals... Kinda feels like it's plastering over a few things and eventually he'll inevitably have a run of 2pters and crash in value.
But I can't decide on sticking with Routledge over him because of Pablo looming on the horizon.
Still loads of players to be monitoring these next few weeks.Open ControlsThe thing is he will be more consistant, and Dyer and Routleage may be rotated because of this new signing.
Open Controls
Just want some quick opinions, think that I've decided not to wildcard.
This is my team;
DeGea Fed
Ivan Zaba Cuellar Demel Clyne
Hazard Cazorla Kagawa Michu Noble
Torres Tevez Graham
0FT 0.5m in the bank
Already done Bale -> Hazard.
Do you think Kagawa/Torres -> Maloney/RVP is worth an 8-point hit?
Thanks for help 😀Open ControlsDo you have plans for the 0.5m? Because in terms of points, i don't think it'll be worth it.
