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…
pretty much.. yeah.. but the whole of sunderland's attack as been shockingly bad
Open ControlsYes, I'm glad to see that McClean and A.Johnson are justifying my pre-season statement that both are seriously overrated.
Open ControlsThats why PL is the best league in the world, you show up with your showboat, stepovers, and a lot of goals in your first season and the next season you either injured or doing shit on the pitch because they"ll adapt and mark you down ( Aguero, Torres, Siggy, McClean etc )

Silvs's price is 9.3 now and he'll be back very soon. Anyone thinking of dropping one of their top midfield for him? Thinking of doing Bale -> Silva myself. Crazy?
Open ControlsI'll probably keep the Bale-Santi-Mata trio all season long.
Although I will keep a close eye on Silva's performances.Open ControlsOnly way i can get Silva in is through Bale, or downgrade Tevez and Fellaini. Just looks like a nice time to cash in with Silva's starting price of 10. I think i'll probably wait too!
Open Controls
I'll wait, if you ask me
Open Controls
Berb > RVP
Bale > Maloney
Baines > Rafael
-8pts??
yes or noOpen ControlsIt's a big punt. All three of the players you're losing could score big. Personal preference really. Maybe string it out so it doesn't cost you.
Open Controlsino.. i just feel i need rvp in now, i couldn't really string it out if i want rvp in for next weekend
just don't don't fancy the -8pts :/ if i had 2ft it'd be done already!Open Controls
keep bale n baines. but absolutely get in rvp.
Open Controls
Gotta get rid of Coloccini. Looks like a 4 pointer. Various options:
A. Hazard Yaya Shawcross Ba
B. Hazard Yaya Rafael Berbatov
C. Hazard Fellaini Rafael Ba
D. Mata Yaya Clichy Ba
E. Yaya Fellaini Baines Ba
Or any defenders for the same price or less than those in the options given.Open ControlsI'm on 48 pts this week without any players left.
good enough to qualify for paddy cup?Open ControlsLots of ppl would be definitely doubling up on stoke defense this gw, but just wondering if anyone here tripling up with Stoke
I am going with Begovic, Huth & Cameron... 😛Open Controlstoo many eggs in one basket.. Double up maximum if you ask me.. Just one bit of Taarabt genius and you are screwed
Open Controlsdoublin up with cameron and wilko.. would'nt call it crazy at all if you did a triple up though. fixtures and team set up are perfect for CS's till jan
Open ControlsThe whole spreading the risk thing really doesn't make sense unless you are in some head-to-head league and need consistent returns. I like having players from all teams cause it makes games more interesting, but if you think Huth will outscore Hangeland (random pick) you should of course pick him regardless of how many other stoke defenders you have.
Open Controls
Which one of the following defenders would you play this week. Already used my FT and looking watching the Ba situation closely if I want to take a hit so stuck with these...
Hangeland ars, Cuellar eve, Clyne SWA
I know Southampton have been poor defensively but the others for me will definitely concede so am considering Clyne as they are at home 😯Open Controlsta
Open Controls
I've got a decision of which big hitting defender to play too - Gunter (NOR) or Clyne (SWA) 🙂
Can't wait to ditch one of them for Sagna in a few weeks! Cheap defenders are shite this year.
Anyways, to answer, Clyne IMO..Open ControlsClyne might knab an attacking point or two so worth a punt out of those 3.
Open ControlsThanks Jafa..
Open Controls
Bale or Cazorla?
Knightly, Ramirez or Lallana?Open ControlsCazorla
KnightlyOpen ControlsBale yet I have Cazorla
RamirezOpen ControlsBale
From right to left.Open ControlsI tell a lie..Ramirez > Lallana > Kightly 😳
Open Controls
Santi
RamirezOpen Controlsprobably similar returns long term (although Arsenal have easier near term fixtures)
RamirezOpen ControlsCazorla & Ramirez
Open ControlsBale's more explosive. Think Ronaldo. While Caz's more of a passer. Like Cesc
Open Controls
Agree with my starting line up this week? Already made my transfer so pretty much stuck with this lot:
Jaask
Baines, Cuellar, Clyne
Bale, Santi, Fellaini, Michu
RVP(c), Ba, Berbatov
Federici, Taarabt, McCartney, Clyne
Bank 1.0m, 0 freebies leftOpen ControlsNo.
Open Controls
What happened to Reina?
Open Controlsaggravated his injury in training apparently
brad has looked decent in his absenceOpen ControlsI thought he was dropped
Open Controls
There are rumours around that he has fallen out with Rogers about new goal keeping coach but officially he's recovering from injury.
Open Controls
Need Morrison to have a blinder to have any chance of getting thru to Rd1 of the Cup. 🙁
Open ControlsEarly thoughts on required score? Pretty sure I'm dead and buried with 41 points and no players left.
Open Controls
Line up check GW11
Begovic
Baines Sagna Rafael
Mata Michu Santi Fellaini
RVP Berba Tevez
McCarthy Sterling Gorkss Clyne
Tempted to bench Gorkss ahead of Sterling. Would you?Open ControlsNo your subs are in the right order.
Open ControlsNo-attacking players over defenderies each and every time. Particularly of the OOP variety.
Open ControlsSo all in order this way correct?
Open Controls
Nah I can see Suarez and Sterling causing Terry and co. some problems.
Open ControlsFair do's. For some weird reason i am worried about both McCarthy and Gorkss on the bench. Just a case of losing out on those Gorkss points two weeks in a row i guess.
Open Controls
solid team

Bego,Jaask

2FT's, 3.3 in bank
Suggest possible routes for getting in RvP.Open ControlsSuarez and Lambchop out; RVP and Di Santo in (never play him mind).
Open ControlsJafa,
Intrigued you say bucktooth out. i am slightly worried about my decision to give him the boot a couple of weeks ago.. Fixtures look awesome and he is deliveringOpen ControlsDI SANTO!?!?!?
Open ControlsYour advising him to get Di Santo, I'm obviously asking why Di Santo? Were you saying it in jest, as a cheeky dig at Suarez? Ha
Open Controls252 good folk have already transferred him
He scores one goal every 3 games
He comes off after 67 minutes so saving himself from bookings and other evil nasties
Wigan are playing really well
I rest my case.;)Open ControlsWell he's been booked twice already 😉
Just checked your team and am honestly shocked you have him! You of all people know the importance of the 3 up front.Open Controls
Wait on the Ba news and then decide.
Open ControlsThe only option I see is Lambert out, and that'll cost 8 points I think. Are you willing to take an 8 point hit? (or wait a week and 4 pts hit?) Even then it'll be tough. I'd downgrade Shawcross > Wilkinson, Michu > Cheapie (after this week) and then what does that leave you?
Open Controls4 point hit at the max
will be looking at how Utd play against the lesser teams particularly looking at
Rooney's posnOpen ControlsYeah, wait a week, but I'd probably still do something like Jussi > McCarthy and/or Shawcross > Wilkinson/Cameron to save up funds. Then next week Michu > Sterling/Maloney/4.5er and Lambert > RVP? Is that affordable?
Open Controls
the myth of Clyne's attackin potential..
8 games
1 shot
3 key passes
UrghOpen ControlsOne goal?
Open Controls100% shooting accuracy then.. Got a goal in GW 5..
Open ControlsThere are plenty of the sort. Defenders that get a goal/assist or 2 in the opening handful of GW's that are then hailed as 'attacking threats' and are never to be seen again.
Heck I've seen Bardsley's name thrown up as an attacking threat and he is definitely not! Got a flukey run of goals a year or 2 ago, then last year grabbed 2 assists (both of the "FPL dodgy assist" variety).Open Controls+1.. unfortunately i fell for the Hangeland attackin myth too.. though i must admit he did look good 2 years ago
Open Controls
that 1 shot was for the one goal.. oops.. still though.. not like he's a world class finisher.. less chances = less chance for points.. Goin thru the stats and Baines 45 key passes is insane
Open Controlswish i could afford him the next 3 games
Open Controls
Might aswell do a Lineup Check.
Mignolet (Jussi)
Gibbs Cameron McAuley Baines (Kolarov)
Santi Mata Michu (Maloney) (Sterling)
RVP Crouch BA
0.5 in bank. Plan so far is Kolarov -> Evans or Rafael depending on my mood, Rafael might get more points but Evans is cooler. Only problem is who to bench cause I would really want to play Evans/Rafael and also I want to start Maloney, but who gets dropped?Open ControlsTevez + Ridgewell > Suarez + Cuellar..is it worth 4 pt hit guys?
Open ControlsI will advise if you tell me whether you are Cute Randy or Cuter Andy?
Open ControlsI wouldn't do it Randy
Open Controls
Not worth a hit, Suarez away to Chelsea. Next week for free yeah.
Open ControlsNo. Doubtful if its worth it for free.
Open ControlsIsn't Suarez one yellow away from a ban?
Open Controls
Hey guys could u rate my team for next game week:
Mignolet (schwarzer)
Evans Baines Nelsen (Lescott Clark)
Nolan Puncheon Morrison Hazard (Duff)
Ba Defoe RvP (c)
Should i save my transfers this week?Open ControlsCheck:
Begovic
Baines Rafael Gorkss
Mata Cazorla Bale Michu
Berba RVP Ba
Foster Davies Nelsen Puncheon
0.0 left in bank, 1FT.
Save the transfer and team good to go?Open ControlsYep, good team.
Open ControlsAh, the guy with the best grav on FFS.
Yes, save trade - you have a very good team there.Open Controlsobv wait for news on Mata and Ba first b4 askin that question.. if they both out for just one week though i'd still save the transfer
Open ControlsThanks for the advises anyway, I will save the transfer if Ba and Mata both are fit to play. 😀
Open Controls
I am so frustrated with my team as there are at least four changes I want to make....
Begovic
Clyne Ivanovic Baines
McAnuff Hazard Michu Cazorla
RVP Ba Lambert
Ruddy Sterling Cuellar Hangeland
I want rid of Lambert, Hangeland, probably Ba (as I can't be dealing with this injury doubt) and Clyne
The problem is I would be taking hits.
I am prepared to do one this week and my priority will be Ba > Tevez (will wait on news)
What do you lot think?Open ControlsThink Ba is the least of your worries there (if fit, judging by his tweet it looks positive)
Open ControlsI don't like the situation but will wait on news..
You worry me when you say the least of my worries.. please explain..Open Controlstbf, your worries aren't that big, I mean that Ba would be 4th on my priorities to ditch with Lambert, Hang and Clyne (although Clyne is usually bench fodder)
I guess it depends on his news, if he is out for a week, or not at all which looks possible after his tweet and body language when going off, then I'd be ditching the other 3 first given his form and the fixtures.Open Controls
thanks all.. food for thought
Open Controls
Thoughts?
Foster - Begovic
Baines - Clichy - Hughes - Demel - Davies
Bale - Mata - Ben Arfa - Michu - Sterling
RVP - Jelavic - Berbatov
Cheers!Open ControlsGood squad. Can I ask if you're planning to keep Clichy long term even if he's dropped?
Open Controls
Begovic
Baines Simpson Cameron
Oscar Mata Cazorla Maloney
Tevez RVP Ba
McArthur Tarraabt Bardsley Gorkks
Get Fellaini or stick ?Open Controlsfor?
Open Controls
So my team for next gw:
begovic
rafael baines davies (cuellar demel)
nasri cazorla michu pienaar (morrison)
rvp defoe ba
Defoe and Ba didnt even lat 60 mins so what should i do with them? keep or sell?
Also i want to bring in sterling as a cheap 5th mid but dont know which of my mid to remove for him...
thoughtsOpen ControlsGuys, who should I replace Demsey with for a free transfer? or should I stick with the lad?
Open ControlsMignolet (Jussi)
Gibbs hughes McAuley Baines cuellar
Santi Mata bale pienaar (Sterling)
RVP Crouch Berba
2FT
I need to use 1 transfer
thoughts?Open ControlsGibbs out maybe or Pienaar-> Fellaini
Open Controls
Morning 🙂 Bore fest...
One to play please
Bardsley (ev)
Nelsen (sto)
Clyne (SWA)
Leaning towards Nelsen as best chance of a cs?Open Controlsjust wondering, if a defender play over 60 minutes and just enter when his team are trailing 1-0 and finished with the same scoreline, does he get point of cleansheet??
Open ControlsGotta be Davies I feel. Swansea went through a rough patch for a while there but they are looking solid and were honestly unlucky to concede vs Chelsea and City. At 4.0 I think he's the only one that offers decent CS potential and he also takes a few corners every now and then.
Open Controlstotally forgot about davies.. ok fixtures till GW 16 too.. hmm
Open Controls
Sean Morrisson. Towering header ftw
Open Controls
Play Gorkss (NOR) or Cueller (QPR) this week?
Open ControlsCuellar is playing Everton unfortunately
Open ControlsBalls. So he has.
Open ControlsHow was the GP, OS? Got into the yacht finally?
Open Controls
Gorkss
Open Controls
yes
Open ControlsHe's been our best CB by far this season. Now that Vermaelen doesn't keep bombing forward Mertesacker isn't exposed pace wise. The form Koscielny is in suggest Mert won't be dropped any time soon, but unfortunately Vermaelen is captain and Koscielny is normally a good player so there's always a chance he will be rotated. Sagna only 0.3 extra
Open ControlsI'd say so yes
Open Controls
Hey folks
I have 1 FT and £0.2m in the bank.
Foster, Begovic
Baines, Davies, Demel, Cuellar, Gorkks
Nolan, Michu, Bale, Valencia, Sterling
Ba, RVP, Aguero
Thinking of taking Aguero and Nolan out for Suarez and Fellaini?
-4 though.
Good idea?
Thank you!!!Open Controls
