Tottenham spring to life at the Madejski to bring the weekend’s action to a close. That gives us the opportunity to delve deeper, plunder the members area data and pick out the points of interest from the nine Premier League encounters so far…
WHM-NOR- Jaaskelainen (2), Noble (2), Vaz Te (3).
ARS-SOT- Gibbs, Podolski(2), Gervinho(3).
AVL-SWA- Clark (2), Bannan (2), El Ahmadi (2), Lowton (3).
FUL-WBA- Kacaniklic, Sidwell (2), Berbatov (3).
MU-WIG- Scholes, Hernandez (2), Buttner (3).
QPR-CHE- Cesar, Zamora, Luiz, Cole A(2), Nelsen(3).
STO-MCI- Maicon, Garcia (2), Crouch(3).
SUN-LIV- Suarez, Skrtel(2), Fletcher(3).
REA-TOT- Sandro, Walker (2), Bale (3).Open Controls
No baps for Defoe but 3 for Bale, who had a shocking game.
Open Controls
Defoe robbed
Open Controls
6 bps for me, yourself?
Open Controls
Defoe is a BP repeller with all his wayward shots!
Open Controls
😆 @ Sidwell getting 2 BPs and Kaca 1.
Open Controls
It's been so long because of this int break, just remembered how much I tough which one to get rid for hazard, bale or kagawa. Kags had wigan at home, oh dear I could have lived without remembering that one.
Open Controls
To be honest; 3, 3, 5, isn't too bad for the price he is.
Say you have £20m on the bench each week, you've got £80m on the pitch + roughly £10m extra from your captain.
Noble is then 1/18th of your budget for your starting team. 3 points for each 1/18th comes to 54 points a week, hardly terrible.Open ControlsIt's like Moses circa 2011
Open Controls
Vaz Te 3 BPs even though he played appallingly and got hauled off.
Defoe scores 2 and gets 0.
Stupid system. Really hope they scrap them altogether next season.Open Controlsif they didn't for this season, why would they for next?
Open ControlsWell, complaints have been that they're too heavily weighted to the goalscorers... but you'd have expected him to get a least 1 as he scored 2 in a 3-1 win.
Open Controls
as i said manny manny times before
Old bonus system was way betterOpen Controls
Vaz Te will have benefitted from being in a match where every other player was shite as well. I like this sytem.
Open Controls
This, who actually deserved baps?
Open Controls
Wish I hadn't sold Bale, but then again if I hadn't, he'd have done nothing. I do indeed have this power over him.
Open Controls
I've suffered him since January aside from 3 games at the end of last season 32-35 (injury, blanks and DGWs malarkey) and I had him first 3 games of this season instead of Hazard and captained v WBA.
I sold him instead of Kagawa for Hazard this week.
*opens this evenings 8th bottle of gin*Open Controlsit's not just you, I have some part there too.
I also got cuellar in to have money for bale => hazard...Open Controls
My H2H Depends on Saylor getting 3 pts or more. Another fail in UEFA H2H?
Open Controls
10 Kaca points on the bench unless Pienaar doesn't play tomorrow.
Worst week ever. 🙁Open ControlsPienaar will score 10+ points don't worry.
Open Controls
39 + Baines + Piennar
Could be better, could be worse.Open Controls
Bale is a beast 😉
Open ControlsFor me, still need to see some more consistency
Open Controls
Call me old-fashioned, but the 3 BPs should go to the best, most influential player on the field; 2 to the second best etc, etc...
And, no, I don't have Defoe.Open Controls
+1, whilst the old system had it's flaws, the EA way is total shite.
Open ControlsI think the old way was worse. At least you can predict this system.
A statistical based system is definitely preferable IMO, just they need to fine-tune the system in place at the moment.Open ControlsI like the new one too. They could make it more like the Metro FF points scoring though which tends to give a better indication of the way the players performed.
Open ControlsAgreed.
Objective outcomes are always better. Yes, Bale getting 3pts is an anomaly but generally the bps have been largely predictable. With the old system there were far more moans imo.Open Controls
Completely Agree.
Open Controls
you captained Berba, quit moaning 😛
Open Controls
Agreed.
What is this talk of tomorrow's game being called off?Open Controls
Only giving out one 3, 2 and 1 was nice too, rather than 8 players in a 0-0 getting 2pts each
Open Controls
I don't agree. 'Best' player is too subjective. PPI is flawed but at least it is a consistent calculation - and the rules are quite clear that the bonus goes to the players who perform better using this calculation method. But haven't we been over this ground before?
Open Controls
Jaask is my top scorer this week - pretty unusual that
Open Controls
If Coloccini doesn't play tomorrow would he or Clyne replace Zabaleta as Clyne got -3 points and Coloccini would get 0.
Open ControlsClyne would come in.
Open Controlsuh oh, someone put this guy out of his misery.
Open ControlsClyne will come in.
Open ControlsYou get the full value of the players that played, good or bad, if you run out nobody gets subbed in
Open ControlsWell Coloccini would, but he didn't play so Clyne would replace him 😉
Open Controls
Wild Rover...
Do you remember how you laughed when BAE wasnt playing?
Well if he did play, he would have got 2 points, as Spurs conceded.
My sub that came in for BAE, was Noble. Noble got 5 points, including 2 bonus points.
🙂 🙂 🙂Open ControlsI sensed this coming.
Open ControlsRonh wins a Noble Prize, who would have thought it?
Open Controls
don't worry about Wild Rover... he's just miserable....
Open Controls
I laughed because you asked for 9 goals from him, not because he didn't play. Oh, and compared to the stick I got over Bale it was nothing.. 😉
Open Controls
Stop check.
52pts all done for me.
Everyone else?Open Controls33 + Saylor + Pienaar
Open Controls40 + Baines
Open Controls32 + Baines.
At least I didn't wildcard for that shit.Open Controls
One of my H2H opponents has the template WC team on here. He's on 24 with Baines and Pienaar to go.
Open ControlsSeen this 'template WC team' mentioned a few times now.. Is it an *actual* thing, or are you just saying that he has a very generic FFS team?
Open Controls- Open Controls
33(-4) with Baines and Pienaar to play.
Only 23 points for a draw...Open ControlsBaines clean sheet, + goal, + 3ps = 15pts
Pienaar cleansheet, + goal + 2bps = 10pts
Isn't impossible.Open Controls
Great result. You may break the 1k once Jussi comes in for you.
Open Controls
42 points when Kaca and Cuellar come on. That'll do me.
Open Controls
60 when auto subs kick in !
Open ControlsSweet
Open Controls
23 with saylor to go 😎 I thought week 2 was bad
Open Controls33 + Baines
Open Controls
38 all out
Open Controls
I'll be paying more attention to the next moneyball article now 😉
Open Controls
While I'm not surprised to see no baps for my team, the unexpected 5 baps for my rival's Bale and Jussi is not pleasing me.
Really pissed off with my decision making this season. The amount of times already that I've decided on a player only to change my mind and bring someone else in only for it to backfire spectacularly is really starting to bug me.Open Controls
Folks needing help here with my defence which is
Hart
Zabaleta, Cuellar, Fabio
Possibly need to change my 3 defender, got 3 free transfers as I’m playing Sky Sports FF so I’m thinking either
A. Baines, Demel & Naughton
B. Baines, Demel & Riehter
C. Jagielka, Ridgewell & Naughton
D. Jagielka, Demel & McAuley or S TaylorOpen Controls
Wildcard last week, 24 pts with no bonus this. Oh well, i'm v happy with my team going forward so don't mind really.
Open Controls
Well played those of you that kept Bale. Your patience was rewarded.
As for those of us that did Bale to Hazard, lets hope its us feeling smug next weekend.Open Controls
Noble and demel on the bench still got 45 points another green arrow 🙂
Open ControlsSaylor, i know you might not get a CS tomorrow. But please, score that goal you have been wanting to for the last two GW's.
Open Controls2 days of fantasy and all I got was 2 boners!
Open ControlsI only got 1, and my team is doing well!
Open Controls
I think the 13.9% of us that have Baines will be hoping for 5 Everton penalties tomorrow.
