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…
Kompany -> Baines worth -4?
Looks like Baines up tonight (maybe more) and Kompany is about to go down...Open Controls
I would
Open Controls
Federici Friedel
Boyce ACole STaylor Hangeland Cuellar
Michu Bale Toure Cazorla Noble
Torres Tevez Graham
Im thinking
Torres + Graham + Friedel to Fletcher + Berbatov/Crouch + Howard
For a 4pt hit.
DOES THAT LOOK ABOUT RIGHT??Open Controls
Pretty much decided on Vermaelen > Baines.
Is it worth doing tonight to avoid a 0.1 price rise?
Or should I wait til after Everton vs Leeds just in case...Open Controls
Everton will probably rest alot of their players, atleast some of the top ones. But generally, its just down to if you think the money is worth the risk. Baines probably will go up atleast 0.2, maybe even 0.3 and thats alot of value to lose. Obviously if something happens with Baines or elsewhere in your squad, you`re going to wish you didnt :p
Open Controls
Do it tonight.
Open Controls
Current Team:
Foster-Vorm
Lescott-Cashley-Gibbs-Demel-Cuellar
Santi-Michu-Bale-Yaya-N Dyer
Tevez-Torres-Pog
Thinking of:
1. Torres –> Lambert/Ba/Berbatov?
2. Dyer –> Pienaar/Fellaini/Barfa?
3. Lescott –> Saylor/Baines?
Pick the three that get swapped in. -4 hit.Open Controls
I'm tempted by Pienaarmyself. Even over RVP or Baines. Not really considering Tevez as an option
Open Controls
have u ever drunk in 'goblets' in southampton?
Open Controls
Both good captain choices I reckon. Neither edge RVP vs Spurs though for me. Utd have scored 21 goals in the last 8 meetings with Spurs. Not usually one for that sort of 'ancient history' stat - but that's pretty compelling evidence that it's at least as open a game as you imagine they are.
Open Controls
Yeah except I'm a Spurs fan so really don't want to captain RVP this week 🙂 Can see RVP getting taken off around the 60 minute mark if they're winning also considering they have Champions league game in midweek.
Open Controls
Baines
Open Controls
I've planned for a while to do Bale to Cazorla this week. Not too sure i should do it now
Open ControlsKeeping till 10. Bale always scores in bunches.
Open Controls
Damn you Newcastle players for being nice, cost me 5 or 6 pts by not giving hba the penalty taking duty
Open Controls
Sat here tempting to wild card. Anyone see any reason to trundle on.
Feel I need Baines, Pienner, RVP, Santi plus more if I thought about it.

can u post ur WC team ?also thinking about using WC
Open Controls
a book of carpet samples has more personalty than freddie ljungberg
Open Controls
Lol Colin handled that poorly
Open Controls
That was fair funny, shock horror, the word shit broadcast to the public! 🙂
Open Controls
for those buying sterling. . .if the intention is to play him, wouldn't that mean benching a potential heavy hitter from midfield?
Open Controls
I bought a couple of weeks back. Logic being
1. He's going to go up in value as the casuals will swoop as he's cheap enough to afford, plus Allen is on relatively high ownership so it's an obvious swap.
2. He's a bencher for me for most part but is going to star the two good homes coming up. May miss some points when he's on bench but also seems better chance of getting points when I do need (got me assist when AJ didn't play last week).Open Controls
Just done Snodgrass to Sterling, and Zabs to Baines for a hit, leaves .5, does that sound sensible?
Open ControlsGood shout lad
Open ControlsYes.
Open ControlsCan't believe Fellaini may rise tonight again.
Was on 91% at midnight last night so thought I could make decision today, then he bloody rose.
Potential he could tonight too.
If he comes in it's for Hazard or AJ. Never wanted Hazard and got him as "defensive move" in case I was wrong and then everyone else stormed ahead (got excited and captained this week though).
He gut says Hazard > Fellaini but last season I had another Johnson (Glen) for a long time when he "wasn't injured" but then wasn't fit to play for 6 weeks...........Open ControlsCan’t believe Fellaini may rise tonight again.

Sound folks.
Open Controls
Making Baines captain this weekend, he is looking like a must have
Open ControlsDefiantly considering it, our defenders are dropping like flies, news on Boss not that good, http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2012/09/23/3398337/-?
Open Controls
what time price rises/fall happens ?
Open Controls
Bench Berbatov this week?
Open ControlsHello?
Open Controls
best goal keeper combo going forward ? any advice
Open Controls
Is anyone here worse than 634k with a WC gone up in smoke? No? Didn't think so!
Anyway, when times are this bad in FPL, I've found that saving a transfer to have two next week starts the calming process. Slowly rebuild and regroup, I say.
I have a screenshot from last season and I was 824k after GW5 and I finished top 2k so there's always hope.
Onwards and upwards 🙁Open ControlsIm around 370k, having a shocker. Still not worried though lol. Being an avid Sir Alex admirer, I save my best for after xmas anyway 😉
Open ControlsAny luck with the job hunt?
Open ControlsGot a 20 hour part time gig, looking for another weekend/evening job to get it up to 35 per week. Did you find another after your redundancy?
Open Controls
Anyone noticed this?
Shelvey was sent off at 38:58 (38+58=96)
Gerrard scored at 45:51(45+51=96)
Rafael scored at 51:45(51+45=96)
RVP scored at 80:16(80+16=96)
Justice for the 96?Open ControlsEveryone's just made up the seconds bit to make it add up to 96. Spooky!
Open ControlsPlease. I'm an actuary. I don't simply "make up" figures. 🙄
Open Controls
Seeing as how RVP scored at 80:11, I'd suggest you be fired. 😀
Open Controls
You made that up/
Open Controls
Not according to the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19615059
Open Controls
The minutes are correct but the seconds are not
Open Controls
Considering Lescott to Baines but with -0.1m left I'll have to transfer out Lallana or Graham for Kaca/Rodallega ? Best option ?
Open Controls
Anyone else considering transferring out Hazard this week?
Open ControlsHad more pressing matters this week, but he's got two weeks now and I'll be taking him out I think.
Open Controls
Got 1.4m burning a hole in my pocket. Considering Michu > Barfa or Nolan > Fellani this week. Thoughts?
Open ControlsHm tough one, but im sticking with Michu for a few more weeks, even though theyre severly dropping in form. Next two home games look so tasty and hes their main threat.
Open ControlsYou're right on the fixtures. Think he needs to be dropped after that though, got a tough run. He wasn't in the game at all yesterday, but Swansea were poor overall.
Open Controls
Are we all sound of mind??? 🙂
Open Controls
i thought javi garcia was a centre back? i thought i could've had an OOP defender but obviously not!
Open ControlsBest Striking option under £6m ?
Rodallega ?Open ControlsPut it this way...keep Graham or swap for another under £6m striker to getBaines in ?
Open Controls
A) Baines and Maloney + - 4
B) Lescott + Hoilett or McleanOpen ControlsTo clarify I'm keeping lescott and getting either hoilett or mclean in for Ireland.
Open Controls
Just done Torres -> Ba for -4, and it feels goooood.
Now, with 2.5 in the bank, is it worth ditching either Michu or Dyer (next week: stk) for an extra -4? Could stretch to Bale/Caz or Yaya/HBA.Open ControlsDyer perhaps. He`s gonna drop, and 3 games out. Take the value gained and get Cazorla, just bc you will want him after Chelsea game anyway.
