Another unplayable performance from Marouane Fellaini, ably supported by a string of outstanding Everton displays, lights up this weekend’s Big Numbers analysis, while the likes of Pablo Hernandez, Christian Benteke, Nicky Shorey, Robin Van Persie and Luis Suarez crash the party. Here’s our choice of the key statistics on show in the Gameweek so far…
Asked 100 times by 100 people... but the only way I can afford fellaini without a small rebuild is Demel to McCartney and Pienaar to Fellaini and a -4.
Really annoying, as after price changes the chance is gone... but a -4 for a very very lateral move?! Painfully frustrating.Open ControlsAfter watching the treatment Sunderland gave Stoke, there's no way Fellaini isn't going to have to throw his weight around and get himself booked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVDczC6_TtY
Open ControlsYeah, I guess the 4 yellows is really the ice breaker. Even if he plays 2 of the next 3, Pienaar in 3 and a saved -4 is probably a safer choice.
Quite often when one of them has a good week, it seems the other does better the week after.Open Controls
What are people's thoughts on Williamson, seems a bargain at 4.3 for the toons next three fixtures with Collocini out?
Open ControlsIf you woke up tomorrow and you could pick a dream frontline, from the past DECADE..........who would choose?????
DROGBA VAN NISTELROOY HENRY
Bit silly but bit bored. Tough to leave Shearer out, but Drogba pips him for assists and bonuses.Open ControlsIf Fellaini didn't have 4 yellows I'd be on that bandwagon snippity snap!
Open ControlsIf you want him you should risk getting him now, he'll be 7.3 come Saturday.
Open Controls
Jelavic, should I be looking to move him on? Surely he's good for at least the next 3?
Open ControlsKeep.
Open Controls
I want to do something about Lambert, but I'm not sure what. Any advice?
Foster / Begovic
Baines / Rafael / Demel / Clyne / Davies
Bale / Cazorla / Ben Arfa / Pienaar / Sterling
RVP / Ba / Lambert
I 2 FT's so it's not for a hit, but I am willing to do -4 if that's what it takesOpen ControlsHe's cheap and Saints have 4 good home fixtures in the next 6...I'd keep him
Open Controlsyes read this for all 10 weeks http://www.fantasyfootballcheat.co.uk/team/
Open Controls
Ben Arfa to Ramirez and Lambert to Berbs/Crouch? Southampton have a great run of fixture so I would maybe just worry about sorting out your worst 3 defenders but if you really want to get rid of Lambert I would advise trying to get Ramirez or Lallana.
Open Controlsdepends if Lambert starts today and if you think he will start in the coming weeks.. if he plays then I think he's got a good chance of getting some points, but if not then use an FT to upgrade your defence
Open Controls
DIfficult decision to make before the price rises, any advice welcome
Bego McCarthy
Baines Cameron Hughes Cuellar Clark
Mata Santi Michu Pienaar Nolan
Ba RVP Berbs
0 FT 1.7m bank
Worth bringing in Fellaini for a hit? If I don't do it now doubt I will do it later in the week. Alternatively I could do Clark > Rafa or just stick.Open ControlsYou don't need Hair Bear you have Peanuts.
Just address your other troubles imhoOpen Controls
Who will score first Jelly or Torres?
Open ControlsPeople that already have Michu and bringing in Fellani , asking for trouble imo
Both highly likely to pick up bookings this weekend , any injuries could have them in deep troubleOpen Controlssecond sentence is bollocks
Open ControlsI would def be listening to trigger over applebonkers and dribbler seeing both of them dont have a team linked and trigger is coming off 2 years of ridiculous rankings
Open Controlsif chris mcgurn says the world is flat it doesn't make it flat.
trigger highlighted one of the flaws of this site, people try to sell their opinions to the site by exaggerating them so much that they lose all meaning. if you need to exaggerate a point this much maybe the point itself isn't a very good one.
fellaini and michu are both statistically more likely to score this week than get yellow cards. so should we buy fellaini if we have michu? both might get booked, they might not. saying both are highly likely to get booked this weekend is just stupid hyperbole.
p.s i purposely used the laid line to see what kind of a poster trigger is, and yes it worked, almost word for wordOpen ControlsI did say you knew best, your sort always do
Open ControlsFellani up against a very Physical side , everton fairly physical themselves . Re will need plenty of cards to control it.
Michu - Manager himself has said that the southampton game was more imortant than the Chelsea game , they really want to win that one . Michu would of been told to do nothing silly to get there. The game itself going be no holds barred , another where a booking highly likely.Open Controls
Fellaini in for ?
Bale Cazorla Mata or Michu
Thinking Bale or Mata so
RVP in for Tevez or Suarez next week.Open ControlsI've told you time and time again, Suarez is the best value striker in the game.
Open ControlsBrought him in before the Norwich game. Also captained him.
Guilty, lock me up and throw away the f**king key.Open Controls
Guthrie > Sterling & Pienaar > Fellaini for free?
Open ControlsI'm finding it hard to justify getting him in with RVP, Tevez and Berbs. Ba and Suarez really appeal to me but it's dangerous losing any of the three. Suarez's fixtures aren't particularly frightening me either and I fancy him to get booked against Chelsea thus missing the tasty Wigan game. Wish I had him already instead of Tevez really.

reposting from the last page as I think this could be an interesting discussion:
so how much better fantasy wise do we think rvp is than rooney?
and who do we think has pens now?Open ControlsRooney is at the heart of all good ManU play but more often than not rvp is at the end of it.
IMO rvp will def outscore rooney over the season. Whether he is worth the extra $ is another issue altogether and depends on each person's squad..Open Controlsthanks
sounds reasonable. though hasn't rooney more or less kept up points wise since he returned from injury? which of the two do you think is more prone to rotation? who do you think has pens now though?
and is rvp over rooney worth the difference between lambert and berb? cuz i currently have berb and lambert so can either ship berb for rvp or ship lambert for roonOpen ControlsIf lambert is a nailed on starter (which he doesn't seem to be) then RVP + lamb would be my pick. Neither of those choices is ideal... don't suppose you can do RVP + berb somehow?
rotation and pens wise, only SAF knows.. who knows what goes on in his mind. though I'm surprised roon took the last one given the rate at which he's been missing them...Open Controls
Watching all of the games involving Man U, I think a case can be made to have them both.
I think Roon will keep pens as he is the Capt Utd.
I think Rooney has been outstanding since he's been back and think he will be the best FF option.Open Controlsa case could be made but you'd have to tear your team half to shreds to get both in! right now i've got rafa + valencia and am trying to decide which one to bring in.
so you think rooney will do better even though he plays deeper a good deal of the time? thanks for your imput.Open ControlsYes Roon will do a shed load better
Open Controlsjust a feeling or do you have any reasoning behind your thinking?
and doesn't rvp have like half the corners and some fk's?Open ControlsIt's like what is pleasing on the eye_I love Roon playing in his new posi.
Didn't realize he was such a great footy player till It smacked me in the face.
RVP will have games where he's marked out leaving Roons to clean up.
And If RVP did have a gg I bet it was Roon that assisted most of the time.Open Controls

I apologise if this is a stupid question, but why Fellaini has only got 3 yellows on the FPL site?
Open Controlsbecause he has only gotten 3 yellows in epl matches. his 4th one came in the cup
Open Controls
RVP is currently twice as good as Rooney + 2
He is essential, and might even start taking penos now that Stoney has fluffed his last few!
Worth the extra money, most def!
AmenOpen ControlsBy the way... Stoney is Wayne's new nickname, according to autocorrect
Open Controlsworth the extra money that is the difference between berb and lambert?
Open ControlsBut RVP you keep, and captain most weeks... your other strikers like Berba, Ba, Jelly, Lambert, Fletcher, Crouch you can rotate and trade thru as they hit form and fixtures! Of corse this is all my humble opinion but the thought of plumping the rest of your squad at the expense of RVP who is THE most consistent scorer at the moment is going to cause heartache!
Open Controls
Is it worth selling Hazard for Fellaini? I also have Mata and Baines. Only worry is that I would probly only want him for his next 3 fixtures and will probably be suspended for one of those.
Open Controlsi'd sell one of mata and hazard for afro. if not then sell one for valencia imo
Open ControlsExactly , a yellow round the corner and in a few weeks poor fixtures, but the facts never get in the way of a big bandwagon
Open ControlsAgree with TW about Valencia , makes much more appeal imo , wait and see if he plays in champions league though
Open Controls
Morning guys. So how's everyone GW going? Am on 35 points with Foster, Morrison and Lambert to play. Hope to hit at least 40 for the GW.
Open ControlsI'm not sure but I'm on 52 (with nobody left to play) and I'm pretty pleased with that especially since I captained Bale!
Open ControlsGood score for the week mate. I capt bale as well. Should have gone with RVP. Foolish of me. I told myself way back when i got RVP to ALWAYS capt RVP when in doubt.
Open ControlsI know what you mean but I tend to look at that tool they have on totalfpl and see the goalscoring percentage chance for the week and pick a player from the highest percentage team (where possible) hence next week I'm on Cazorla not RVP. Was wondering what score people reckon will be needed to get into the cup?
Open Controls
You a 7k-ish overall yet 22nd best Wigan fan. Nobody likes Wigan huh?
Open Controlsyea seems that way... my local team though
Open Controls
Do you like idea of HBA out for FELLAINI?
Bear in mind I also have Pienaaaaar.Open ControlsWho has a more Gangster Grav than me? I bet no-one.
Open Controlsrvp/rooney, valencia, and rafa to be the rooney valencia and evans of last season
jump on board the valencia wagon before its too late! 😀Open Controlsunfortunately i did that transfer one week to early... :(. overall still glad i did it though
Open Controls
I tend to agree TW... the only downside to Valencia, and in fact most United wingers, is that they'll be assisting more and scoring less with both Rooney and RVP to aim at! I do think Tony V will get on a roll soon, he's been looking very dangerous on the outside last few GWs
Open Controlsyes but that is one quality pair to be aiming at. plus welbeck and hernadez at times. should get a good number of assists! and still fancy him to score a great goal from time to time like he did during that one stretch last season. a couple of those goals were just beautiful!
Open ControlsYep... agreed!
Open Controls
Can't believe cazorla is being dumped by so many after scoring 8 points. Sheesh!
Open ControlsDecision time on Demil
He dropping tonight , best def 4.5 or lessOpen Controlsactually i might let him drop , cant see any real need to bring in a defender this early in the gameweek , so much could happen with champions league games etc , silly to make an early transfer jst for .1
It not till next week when i short of defendersOpen ControlsOn fpl it reckons he 50% chance of playing
Open ControlsDo we think he will get back in side when fit? They been doing quite well without him
Open Controls
This, this, this. I'm in the same boat and there is no way I'm dumping Demel tonight to save 0.1.
Anything could happen this midweek.
Unlucky GW for you..nightmare sub bench!Open Controls
Which one ?
A) Valencia and Cuellar
B) Lallana and AColeOpen Controlshttp://i2.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1414499.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Manchester+United+v+Arsenal+-+Premier+League
Anyone got any good caption ideas for this photo?Open Controls"... haha ... yeah good so see you too, and to answer your earlier question - yes, I do enjoy winning"

I just did Ben Arsehole to Fellaini.
Huge relief to be rid of HBA - he was really annoying me for some reason, and now I have 1.1m in the bank which gives me some leeway finally.
MF now looking pretty nasty with EVE/EVE/SWA/SWA but I like it especially for next weekend at least.
Just hope the 300,000 who dropped F over past three weeks all come running to get him back soon.Open ControlsU got rid of HBA with West Ham and then Swansea.....both......at home........?
Please just tell me you have Ba before i click to see ur team................Open ControlsNo BA.
I think they will lose both those games, or at least low scoring draws.Open ControlsSwansea drew Chelsea and should have drawn Man City the week before - I think they are back in it.
Open ControlsSame. I think they are getting in form too. But they look kinda weak in defence.
Open Controls
You think Newcastle loses at home to West Ham? I don't see it at all. Im almost tempted to get HBA and Ba together to be honest. They will smash West Ham next week watch.
You will get rid of HBA and he will score a brace 🙂Open Controls
Please rate for next week and team in general:
Begovic (McCarthy)
Baines Sagna Gorkss (McCartney, Nelsen)
Mata Cazorla Fellaini Bale (Puncheon)
Tevez RVP(c) Ba
Thanks all.Open ControlsErm...did you just buy Fellaini? Granville will have a field day...
Open ControlsI dont really care what he does or says.
Open Controls
It's a very "popular" looking team... you could look at a differential if you're chasing points, if you're out in front then looking solid!
Open ControlsThanks for the advice im somewhere around the top of my leagues. I guess ill stay put for a while and see where i am in a few weeks.
