Arsenal’s battling performance at the Etithad and a dramatic second-half turnaround at the Lane bring Gameweek 5 to a close. Our members can now let the dust settle on their Fantasy scores before gorging on all the stats from all the weekend’s matches, or just read on for the numbers that piqued our interest…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Re-posted, sorry.
    Is swapping Kagawa, Routledge & Y.Toure for Fellaini, Ben Arfa & Nolan worth 8 points

    Or for now

    -4 points by swapping Kagawa and routledge for Fellaini and Nolan. Any thoughts would be great and thanks in advance.

      Don't be in such a hurry.

      Nolan has only scored at home, he's away next and then has Arsenal so you only really want him in two games time when he's home to Southampton. He also seems to be an anti-bp machine. I don't see how are you really losing by not spending 4 points to bring him in for an away game?????

      Yaya has nice fixtures coming up, Barfa is away next and then goes UTD, Sun, BROM, Pool.

      Kagawa has tough fixtures coming up, really tough. Fellaini has nice fixtures coming up and plays home to Southampton this week so I'd just do this transfer for the moment.

    This fantasy football is doing my head in, love it and hate it!! Thinking of shipping out Podolski and Kagawa, bring in Cazorla for Kags but who for Podolski? Thinking at the moment Berba/Lambert (huge bandwagon I know). Any suggestions welcome

            Everton have a great run.

            After watching them v swans I no longer consider Baines as a defender, but more as a winger on set plays who gets clean sheets.

            He is more essential than santi I think, altho both would be ideal...

          Evening all,

          So...2 weeks ago everything looked rosy and I refrained from using my WC during the international break simply to make some £££. Now...well...things seem to be a little ropey to say the least and had it not been for Bale (C) and RvP today, this week would have been the mare of all mares.

          So, answers on a postcard:

          a) keep calm, make the regulatory FT and it really will be fine
          b) take a 4/8 point hit and clear out some dead wood
          c) get on the WC tonight
          d) just cry

          Jaaskelainen - Federici
          Zabaleta - Williams - Demel - Cuellar - Vertonghen
          Bale - Michu - Kaca - Yaya - Piennar
          Tevez - RvP - Graham

            They could go out of form in the next few weeks, injuries could kick in........... far too hasty to use the wildcard by going for a team on current form if there is no real need. A ot of folk have panicked and tried to sub in the best current team.

            Think about Christmas, and all the doubles..................... and needing the wildcard to sub back in your team.

          Next week, Begovic at home to Swansea or Foster away to Villa? I'm thinking Foster......
