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…
Just before the end of dead zone, may I have your comments on how to improve this GK/DF?
Davis - Green
Zabaleta - Demel - Rangel - Jenkinson - Clyne
1: Davis .. He surprisingly delivered 2 penalty saved in Manchester, but The Saints don't look like a team that would keep CS in the long run.
2: Green .. He will lose his place on Gw4.
3: Zabaleta .. He might not be fit in time and not start on Gw4.
4: Demel .. Is he injured or not injured?
5: Jenkinson .. Surprise 3 CS with baps, but his starting could be uncertain.
Any change will be point hits and I decided not to play WC yet.Open Controls

Which three def to ply for gw 4?Open Controls
i have DDG, VDV, Lescott and Petric in my squad, is it time to wc? really wanted to keep it as my main rival played his in week 1 and was going to sit tight for future DGW's!
Open Controls
Pick 3:
Rangel (avl), Demel (nor), McCartney (nor), Figueroa (mun), RBennett (WHM)
I know it's probably the first three and I just need to suck it up as the cost of the front end of my team, but does anybody think it's insane to play Figueroa over any of the first three?Open Controls
RBennett instead of two Hammers?

Harte-->Clyne
Kagawa-->Pienaar

Any suggestions on these transfers? I'm doing these transfers to get RVP. IS it worth it to get him? SHould I use wildcard?Open Controls
a) bale and pienaar
b) yaya and hba
already have tevez and zab
thoughts?Open Controls
I'm holding on to Pienaar for another week. One bad result in three doesn't now make Everton crap and Newcastle's form isn't exactly sparkling either - wait and see.
Can't argue with dumping Bale. I did it last week.Open Controls
DDG (Federici)
Zab, Hange, Rangel (Demel, Cuellar)
Hazard, Kagawa, Michu, Pienaar (Kaca)
Tevez, Torres, Graham
£4.0m, 0FT
So what should I do? This is what I'm thinking of:
A. WC. I'm very reluctant to do this but it's an option
B. Torres -> RVP -4pts. Not ideal as I kept Torres over his blank and is in good form but might have to...
C. Kagawa -> 5.2, Graham -> RVP -8pts
D. Zabaleta -> Saylor/Ridgewell, Kagawa -> 6.2 mid, Graham -> RVP -12pts
E. No transfers and go without RVP cover as after WIG he has (liv, TOT, new, STO, che, ARS)Open Controls

I would argue that Bale hasn't been that dissapointing, rather Spurs in general. I'm on a WC this week and I'm considering keeping Bale. I prefer him to most elite mids at the moment to be honest, he's been unlucky not to pick up more points.

I’m glad I picked N.Dyer
I regret picking Bale. Disgusting.
Biggest surprise in FPL terms so far is Michu. Didn't expect him to hit the ground running.
Biggest dissapointment in FPL terms so far is Spurs. Such a strong team yet so little offered.
I have still got my WC? Yes. But not for long.Open ControlsI'm glad I picked Tevez 😀
I regret picking DdG
Biggest surprise for me is how the new signings have hit the ground running.
Biggest dissapointment for me is Rooney's injury after bringing him in and making him captain. It then took a hit to bring in Ade and Kagawa.
Activated my WC last night. It's now or never with RVP I reckon.Open Controls
Ivanovic instead of Cole
DDG + Zaba - never wanted so pricey defence, but I was a pre season sheep
How easily that forward dilemma went to our way..rvp + tevez + one other is the way to go
My luck vs rivals luck - Didn't get any advantage of that michuman as he was sitting in my bench first gw. Now DDG rested and I played without keeper. My rivals got Jussi and Davis from the bench...
Still got it, not sure how long tough 🙂Open ControlsHa ha yeah, Ivan over Cole was a lucky break for many. We all knew he had the potential to score and that he could be under risk from a new signing but those who gambled won big time!
Open Controls
Ivanovic

Nope, on it now.Open Controls
Morning fellas, this is my team for next gw as
I have already taken a 4 pointer
DDG (Federici)
Ivanovic, Cuellar, Hughes (Demel, Rangel)
Hazard, Kagawa, Michu, Pienaar (Guthrie)
Rvp, Tevez, Graham
Team loloks good, BUT...I'm so tempted to wc and change :
1. keepers => cheapos are the way to go, again!
2. Ivanovic => Baines
3. Kagawa => Santi C
4. Graham => Berba or Fletcher
No point to wc, right?
Get rid of ddg + get cazorla and baines in when ever it's possible without a hit...?Open ControlsGuys,i have DDG, VDV, Lescott and Petric in my squad, is it time to wc? really wanted to keep it as my main rival played his in week 1 and was going to sit tight for future DGW’s!
Open Controls
You still scored 70pts this week.
Keep DDG and see if he plays vs Wigan. Fed has home game vs Spurs in week 4 anyway.
Get rid of VDV and maybe petric(if injured). -4 maximum I would say.
If you decide to WC do it today to get in on possible price risers.
Don't get carried away with DGW's - with planning you don't need a WC to do well in a DGW. But you know that looking at your last year ranking.Open Controls

Re: all the agony over the Bale dilemma.
Picking a player or sticking with him should depend on form and fixtures. Form has 2 parts: 1) Personal form 2) Team form, while they usually go together sometimes an attacking player may be in good personal form but the team is losing.
So in assessing a player I say form overrides fixtures, the good players in form are going to rack up points no matter who they play. A player with poor personal and team form is a serious doubt even if they have great fixtures.
So back to Bale: Poor team and personal form + good fixtures = "Bale out" 😀 .
He might come good next week but they have already had some good fixtures and done nowt. I say get rid until some sustained form is shown .Open ControlsIs he really in bad form though? He's been threatening to score and creating chances.
Open ControlsI have not been impressed, yes there have been chances but I would have expected a lot more given the opposition. Body language not great, looks a bit disgruntled and the loss of Modric has been underestimated. Will take a while to gel with Dembele methinks. I was disappointed that AVB started with 2 defensive mids in Livermore and Sandro at home v Norwich
Open Controls
Alright, so i let Bale fall so I wouldn’t kneejerk an early transfer, now got some time to ponder..
DDG-Fed
Terry-Zab-Cuellar-Fabio-Demel
Bale-Kags-Michu-Larsson-Guthrie
RVP-Tevez-Graham
1 FT, 0.0 in the bank
Want: Hazard, Cazorla, Ridgewell/Saylor
Want to get rid: Bale #1 priority, Kags, Terry OR Zab(which 1)
Can get in Hazard, Cazorla and Ridge/Saylor for an 8pter..
Thoughts?Open Controls
just Bale --> Hazard and Terry --> Ridgewell for me
Open ControlsRidgewell over McAuley + other 5.0s yes?
Open Controls
Newc looks out of sorts at the moment. Stay away from newc defence. Wish I did.
Get Hazard, I think he has 3 nice games in next 4. Yes, Santi might rip South a new one but so be it. Ars have citeh and Chel after south.
No need for to many hits this early on. Anyway, that's what I'm thinking.
Steady Eddie.Open Controls0M bank, he needs at least 4 hits to do Bale --> Hazard
Open ControlsNot if he sells Terry or Zab.
Open Controls
You dont think Cazorla will outscore Kags over the next 3 by 4pts? He might also come good vs Citeh and Chelsea seeing as their back lines aren't so solid atm..
Open Controls
Terry? Fabio? Zab? Bale? Larsson? Kags? You need some serious changes my friend. Personally that 8 pointer doesn't look too bad with Saylor instead of good old Ridgie.
Open Controls
Maybe keep Kagawa for one more week. 4 point hit to bring in one of Hazard or Cazorla. However, after yesterday's anonymous performance and fault for the first Soton goal, it wouldn't surprise me to see Shinji benched in favour of the old school next game.
Open Controls
is this swansea davies(defender) gonna start regularly and for how long he is so cheap for 4.0

Lads, help me out plz.
Take 4pts hit, which should I do?
Bale>>> Hazard or

Probably take Tevez, he is going to score regularly. And almost certainly outscore Jelavic. Hazard and Bale a closer run thing

Jussi out...Foster in....-2

Simpson in...injured
Demel in..injured
Graham out..petric in...injured?
Got to love this game.Open ControlsRuk and Tina, need some advice above. Cheers.
Open Controls
That sucks.....
What would have your team scored had you not played the WC?Open ControlsI dunno. Not really interested. Water under the bridge and all that jazz.
Should have just done torres-->Tevez.
LOL
Managed to bring Hazard/Michu/Baines though so it might still work out ok. Where I'm sitting the rankings are tight and 1 point equates to +/- 10000 ranking places! Might take my first hit in week 4, but I don't like taking a hit(or even making a trsfr) the week after playing a WC.
Time for "Steady Eddie" now.Open ControlsYeah I am only a few points ahead yet 100,000 places. Team looks fine for long term, it just sucks that all these "doubts"have appeared. Still averaging over 60 points per gameweek, keep that up and the potential for a top 5k finish is very very high provided you nail the captains choice each week
Open ControlsTop 5k...?
😯
Only reason why I'm still playing is to get that elusive top 1k
😥Open Controls
maybe I don't wc this week then...

Want to improve the defence also keen to get Ben Afra in.
I should probably ditch Clichy and also Barnett. I have enough to do Clichy to Baines? Is it too late to get on the Jenkinson Bandwagon.

Open ControlsI think he is injured but dont really want to use my FT on Demel. Would rather he sat on the bench for a whlie till he is back. Your right about Lloris but I think I will hold Friedel till he loses his place and probably do Clichy to Baines this week. Everton have decen looking fixtures also.

Hey guys, I have De Gea and Cerny as my keepers. Worried that DDG didnt start the last game. Should i look at changing my GK combo? Will have 10million to spend
My Def is Currently - Ivanovic, Zabaleta, Hangeland, Williams, WalkerOpen Controls
I have DDG and Jussi so lucked out this weekend. I'm holding on for now to see if he plays.
Open Controls
Would you transfer Hazard in for a hit now? Want him before the price changes but I am mindful of the potential injuries over the break....
Open ControlsI'm waiting for the injuries, unless you're going to WC in which case you should have done it last night. Determined to hold on to the WC until after the Jan one this year, although I did that last year for Man U run in and still made a hash of it.
Open ControlsIf you have waited this long i would probably wait till international games out the way. Could easily be a few injuries.
Open Controls
anyone thinks Fletcher is a good option as a 3rd striker differential?
Open ControlsYes for sure.

How far away is Sagna from returning, will he come straight in for Jenkinson as was first thought? 3 clean sheets is hard to ignore right?
