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…
No Schneiderlin comments?

Well, i thought Hazard was a must, then RVP scored 3 (shoulda been 4), so i've brought them both in despite not wanting to this early, for bale and Torres. -4 point hit.. Internationals are a worry, but hopefully i make some money off it, it pays off.. At least i still have my wc!
Open Controls
Kagawa and Bale owners.. keepin? gettin rid? which one should go first if any?
Open Controls
Bale shipped out yesterday
Kagawa remainsOpen Controls
If by some miracle my team comes through the international break unscathed I'm taking a punt on Bale > Nani (c). Made a huge difference to United yesterday whilst Welbeck was woeful.
Open ControlsIf he's not injured he will. Young's injured and Welbeck wide left doesn't work.
Open Controls
It's not the time for punts...Get your team completely sorted and then go for the punts.
Open ControlsProbably sensible advice.
Open Controls
No RvP in your team huh Scroob?
Nani did ok, good sub.. monitor the Young situation, he (or Welbeck) could start instead of Nani..
And, gamble with players.. not captains.. 😉Open ControlsYeah got RVP (thank god or my embaraasingly low score would even worse).

mr blue i conceded the rvp debate and actually brought him in my wildcard please rate my team out of 10 and advise on some improvement

Who will replace Taylor in the Swansea defence?
Open Controls
Davies I think, cheap at £4mil, though will their defence suffer with Taylor out and Chico out for three weeks?
Open Controls
Aatish, you're my opponent this week for FFS UEFA..
Goodluck 🙂Open Controls
"you're gonna need it"
Open ControlsH2H is complete crap. Two of the highest amongst the regulars whom I know are Captain Shirkov and Lateriser both with 256 pts (Ya, bloody impressive, I know). Though Captain Shrikov managed to win all 3 of his H2H, Lateriser won only one. It really can't get more unfair, can it?
Open ControlsYep, completely true..
Open ControlsIn my h2h keague, there's a guy with 3 wins with a total points tally of 130 ish who won his h2h this week with 25 points.
H2H is the most luck affected league - makes it more 'interesting'...Open ControlsPratik, mind giving your 2cents below? ridge or sayllor?
Open Controls
One last go.. need a good haul of votes
A) Ridgewell (will he be affected by popov?)
B) SaylorOpen Controls
Ridgewell's teams playing better and is currently the obvious chances.
I'll tell you this though, Saylor had 3 very good chances to score a goal yesterday. I'm glad i have him.Open ControlsNot really helping the cause 😆
lets put it this way, if you could only have one, which would you pick?
I back Newcastle to keep it tight at home, so either/or works.Open Controls
I still think Saylor. Fancy Newcastle over Swans at the back. Swans will have one and maybe two new boys at the back. Saylor good going forward too
Open ControlsI think long-term look to get both. Honestly.
Open Controls
Bale,Toure-->Ben Arfa,CAzorla
OR
Bale,Kagawa-->Ben Arfa,CAzorla
Yesh?No?Open Controlsso hazard can be a max of 10.2 by the start of GW 4 now right? may as well stomch the 0.2 rise and wait in that case
Open Controls
His rising has been a bunch of ass, but waiting is sensible. Boring and frustrating, but sensible.
Open Controls
ridgewell in the watchlist why not mcauley he has scored points more consistently
Open ControlsLots of us had McAuley last year. I'd completely forgotten about him in the Bandwagons of this season.
Open Controls
Could be a good option. Ridgewell will probably rise this over these two weeks, so if you want to make profit and you're going to make a transfer now. Get him.
Open Controlsam on wildcard but tell me is ridgewell more attacking or setpieces etc just want to know why he is so rated........
Open ControlsMuch bigger threat from open play than mcauley.. and he goes up for the same number of set pieces as mcauley. much better bet imo
Open ControlsNow that I've checked, it looks like they both may go up by the next gameweek. Tough decision. The stats say Ridgewell has more potential, even though he hasn't scored a goal.
I'm sure that goal will attract more players to grab Mcauley, so maybe he'll be rising more.Open Controls
if on WC put McAuley in now and enjoy his price rises and then swithc to ridgewell
Open Controls
Ridgewell is = McAuley goal threat from set pieces + threat from open play.
Open Controls
What a complete and total bunch of dicks.

Wasn't one of his deal breakers that he had control of transfers. Surely if the player isn't signed yet then don't sell the one he's replacing.
Open ControlsThey can call Carroll back though.
Will happen if Suarez gets injured. Something at which he is really adept at feigning btw.Open ControlsBut baulked at £6mil for Dempsey. Could well cost them a place in Europe of any sort for next year and how much will that cost them?
Open ControlsI wouldn't worry about financial cost, more the lessening attractiveness of playing for a Liverpool team who aren't in Europe or contending for anything. Easy downward spiral to get into. Not saying it will happen but a possibility nonetheless
Open Controls
That does seem strange. Did they run out of time?
Open Controls
Harte–>Clyne
Kagawa–>Pienaar
Toure–>Routledge
Bale–>Ben Arfa
Petric–>RVP
16 point hit
Any suggestions on these transfers? I’m doing these transfers to get RVP. IS it worth it to get him? SHould I use wildcard?
I've got Tevez, Torres, Hazard and MichuOpen ControlsYou should give all the info or just link your team. How much dosh do you have?
Open ControlsYou dont respond to questions you asked when you post it once or twice and then you post it again.
Open Controls
Seriously this is the 4th time you have posted this in past few hours? Do you not like the advice many different people have offered you?
JUST WC IF YOU WANT RVP!Open Controls
i'm guessing this has been asked a bunch already but cant be bothered trawling through old posts- is davies nailed on now that taylor's out for the season?
Open ControlsDon't know, but if Tate comes in for chico they are screwed

Should i stick with my planned
Zabaleta to Ridgewell?
or take a hit to get rid of kags/bale for hazard?
Will do it later in the week of course (though if i want to ship Kags out i'll have to get a 4.5 defender in then)Open ControlsStill doing the Bartman

Thoughts??Open ControlsI'm loving all this talk of Ridgewell - looking forward to price rises ove the next two weeks...
Open Controls
Mornin' lads. Might be taking a hit to get a WBA defender in. Want Ridgewell but is McCauley more nailed on than him now that that other fella (who i think plays in Ridwell's position) was bought in the tranny window?
Open Controls
Neither for a points hit. Id rather macca of the two
Open Controls- Open Controls
😆 Silly Billy! 😉
Open Controls
Just played wildcard. What do people think?
Foster/Begovic
Rafael/Hangeland/Demel/Cuellar/Clyne
Cazorla/Bale/Pienaar/Guthrie/Sterling
RVP/Tevez/TorresOpen Controlsnt much... try again!!
Open Controls
Bale might drop 0.1 or 0.2 more during the break. You're better off having someone like Routledge until closer to the deadline and transfer Bale in the very last moment. If you're luckly you'll make a 0.1 profit, if you're not you don't lose any more on Bale.
Open Controls
Is there anyone who would like to join me in making a case against taking your team apart, by taking mega points hits or blowing your wild-card, for no other reason than to get RvP? We all know he is a class act with a proven track-record, but he is injury-prone and after his penalty yesterday Rooney (when he returns/plays) should be favourite to take them. Had he not scored a hat-trick against what looks to be the weakest defence in the premiership would we be so driven to get him whatever the cost?
Open Controls
I agree. You can find points elsewhere. I did without RVP for a long time last season and did just fine. (If you check my rank bear in mind I started only in GW14 and managed a top 10 placement in the GW14 league). I was annoyed plenty of weeks when all my rivals had captained him (as per usual). Worst of all was the game against Blackburn. But you get over it and the points still come in if you play it right. Its also kind of exciting because the points in your mini league will start to come very acyclically. One week your on top next week the RVPers are.
Open Controls
You have a case. I think a WC should be worth 20-30 points, so to use it to chase last week's points could blow up in you face. I don't have that dilemma but I would 4pt hit to get RVP in if I did - if you don't have him you could be facing a big deficit in your mini leagues by the next gameweek.
Open Controlsyour having a laugh! he scored 30 in the league last year! he has 4 in 2 matches! He has a class team around him! could of had 5-6 against soton. If he keeps scoring like this and you dont get him, you will have to swap more players out and you will still be too far behind to even factor!! I can see him scoring another couple this weekend vs wigan!
Open Controls
lambert bandwagon is anyone in yet.
Open ControlsNo thanks. But kind of you to offer
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 Controlscan only rise 0.2 more.. unless tight for cash wait imo
Open ControlsYes. Im doing it now, just deciding which defender to get in.
If worse comes to worse he gets injured and i play guthrie 😆
But in all seriousness, he;ll keep rising. Need to build some TV.Open Controls
guys. 1 quick poll.
should transfer now or 5 hours before dateline? plz tell me the reasons. thx =DOpen ControlsPossibly the worst poll ever, including graham
