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.

    Forca, sadly, my wish for the best team to win among us didn't really come true. In any case, I still happy with the tie. 😉

    Is it worth wildcarding this team, or should I save the WC?

    De Gea - Federici
    Cole - Zabaleta - Hughes - Cuellar - Demel
    Bale - Nolan - Pienaar - Michu - Guthrie
    RVP - Tevez - Podolski

    0.1 in the bank..

    I have no FTs to change anything as I got RVP in yesterday but I am worried about keeping De Gea, Zabaleta and Bale...

    Any opinions would be much appreciated!

      Give Bale 1 more week, he is due a return. DDG will play next week, Zabaleta is the only other problem so no need to WC just a couple of niggles you can fix week by week

      not worth WC in my opinion, that's a very solid team. Lacking chelsea attacking cover would be the only real concern.

      Bale - Hazard
      Zab - Davies

      would only be an 8 point hit and would leave you spare cash. I'd always rather an 8 point hit than using the wildcard and you could probably wait a GW and do it for a -4 given that you can put out a strong team this week anyway

    Morning all, first day back at the ranch after a week away to discover I managed a haul of 89pts for the GW. Is that considered ok on here? I had been considering ditching Pod before I went away, so glad I didn't now!

    I have one question regarding the FPL private league.

    As my league has an odd number, FPL filled up the spot with a bot that goes by the name 'Average' to even things up. However, I have unchecked the 'close league to new entries' to invite the new participants but there are several questions to ask.

    (1) Since 'Average' has already played against a couple of teams, obviously this is already GW3, and then now we have a new participant who is about to join, does the score retain like (Average 30-40 Team A) or change (New Participant 41-40 Team A)?
    (2) Does the new participant basically replace 'Average' and the score will be recalculated to reflect the current table?

    How does it work when new entrants come in?

    Does this team warrant a WC?

    DDG (Federici)
    Zab, Hange, Rangel (Demel, Cuellar)
    Hazard, Kagawa, Michu, Pienaar (Kaca)
    Tevez, Torres, Graham
    4.4m and 0FT

    With the likes of DDG, Zab, Kags and Kaca and the lack of RVP and Cazorla, should I:

    A. WC
    B. Torres -> RVP -4pts
    C. No transfers and go without RVP cover as after WIG he has (liv, TOT, new, STO, che, ARS)

            i'm in the same boat and i reason like this:

            he has the talent, he has the fixtures and now he has the support in (Dembele/Demps/Ade) so he should do well.

            if not, he's gone after GW5.

    Hi everyone, i've been wondering if me doing Kagawa + Suarez ---> Nolan + RVP is worth the 4 point hit consifereing i would have to free up £0.9 to get him?

    Or who you would suggest transferring other than Kagawa --> Nolan?

    Other options i have looked at are swapping Yaya instead of Kagawa or doing Ivanovic ---> Rafael, or Rangel to Swansea defender Davies that someone mentioned earlier as Taylor's replacement while he is injured...

    team atm is:

    Jaaskelainen - (Federici)

    Ivanovic - Zabaleta - Rangel - (Clyne) - (McCartney)

    Kagawa - Yaya Toure - Michu - Pienaar - (Guthrie)

    Tevez - Torres - Suarez

        One tactic would be to get both Tate and Davies - both will play the next three due to Chico's ban and then you'll be sure to have the one who gets the nod at left-back following that. Both are 4.0.

    How happy are Spurs fans. They have wonderful team. Andre will "do the magic" and will loose his job after Christmas then the replacement will come and they will win Europa League and the FA cup. Congratulation in advance 😆

    There's obviously something in the air because I'm more or less allergic to taking hits (one hit all last season which was a big fat fail) but I'm currently sorely tempted by an 8 pointer:

    Zabaleta ➡ Davies
    Bale ➡ Cazorla
    Kacanikic ➡ Pienaar

    Anyone care to per/dis(delete as appropriate)suade me?

    Cheers

      You must be alergic to them to have held Mata through a 0.4 drop!

      I don't think you need make more than just Mata / Bale to Cazorla.

      Morning all,

      Assuming Nolan pops up to £6.1m tonight who do people think is most likely to rise again before GW4 starts?

      Nolan or Ben Arfa?

    Estimated drop of bale this week?

    I really wanna keep hold of him but I don't want to lose money either. Does everyone think that he's a dead stick? Got great fixtures and from what I saw in the last game he got into lots of threatening positions just didn't happen for him.

    Any thoughts?

      Instead of Petric(6.3m), you could go for Jelavic (8.5m)
      OR downgrade cole and get Ben Arfa for Taylor

    I just wanted to ask, will the price rise be affected by the % of ownership of a player if he does well? Bcos I wanna swap Yaya(35.3%, less attacking) for Ben Arfa (10.8%, more attacking)
