Aided by the new “Advanced Filtering Options“ available in the Members Area, we take a look at the top OPTA performers over the last four Gameweeks and highlight the players who excelled in various aspects of the game. Whether you’re a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Manager tinkering with your wildcard before next Tuesday evening’s deadline, or just weighing up potential transfers, the stats can help highlight who is maintaining that promising form, or who is fading out fast as February approaches.
There's reports that David Luiz's move to Chelsea is off. Nothing confirmed yet so we'll keep an eye on that one.
Even better so more money for Torres. Luiz wasn't good value IMO.Open ControlsBenfica issue a statement saying an "agreement was not reached with Chelsea FC for the transfer of the sporting and economic rights of the athlete David Luiz Moreira Marinho". The talks are now "closed".
Open Controls
alex ftw
Open Controlsabout 3 weeks i think.
Open Controls
Was curious about Luiz as i know nothing about him, yet some people have been saying to me he is blinding (looks a bit slim and lightweight to me).
Personall think 40m for Torres is a waste considering his injury record and lack of consistent form. Plus he is no spring chicken now.
Better going for Aguerro i think...Open Controls
If the russian is to open his pockets again, chelsea could start next season with torres their main man and aguero playing off him.. no chelsea fan myself, but must admit its exciting..
torres has also played in all league games this season except the birth, so i think we can say he is back to full fitness and not more likely to get injured than anyone else, imoOpen Controls
Ok so I massively cocked up last week. Rooney over Berba is a decison I will rue at the end of the season if I don't win my mini league. Amywayyy, looking forwrd. I WAS going to sit tight this week and roll a transfer over. However with Rooney a massive lump in my squad I have the overwhelming urse to ship him.
So my question to you fine people is a) should I ship him? Or sit tight cos HE'LL COME GOOD (vom) b) or ship him for:
A) Berba
B) RVP?
Feedback appreciated. I can't stand to look at him in my squad any longer.Open Controls
On form he's still up in the top 6 and equal with Torres so sit tight for 1 more week at least.
Open Controls
i have that lump in my team too.. waiting for him to come good (looks like we will be waiting) RVP is coming into my team for him ,2 juicy home doubles coming up...
Open Controls
RVP won't play both in the DGW as Arsenal Have Barca that week too...
Open Controls
Unusual (but I'd agree not impossible) for Wenger to completely rest players. His normal behaviour seems to be to sub players rather than drop them altogether. I'd say RVP, Fabs have a good chance of playing in both DGW games (if still fit...) but unlikely they'll get 180 mins.
Open Controls
98 is hardly a bad score. no need to kill urself.
At the mo Berbs is a better choice than rooney, but UTD's fixs arent all good. RVP however is in just as good form as berb and has better fixtures. I would get both, maybe get rid of torres next week or summatOpen ControlsI know I know...but a red arrow and outsted from top spot in my mini league has put me on tilt somewhat.
Torres goes next week for Tevez regardless and I intend to have both when I wildcard in GW27. I've just got to accept I can't have both until then. So it's really a case of which one will do best in the next two weeks.Open Controls
haha was half way through justying torres then hit your link... that box is ticked...
I'm in the same position as you I would wait until the team sheets are announced, if RVP starts go for him if not save your transfer, they're due a pen and with clark flying about like a ninja you might get lucky....Open ControlsNice point...hopefully the team sheets will make my mind up for me.
I'm leaning towards RVp, certainly based on the stats in the article above and also it's a differential over my main rival. But we all know Marks magical Berbatov @ Old Trafford formula...last thing I want to do is lose further ground by taking unnceccessary risks!Open ControlsI appreciate that. Berba is on form and would be a good 'blocker' but with RVP on pens and some fks he wins over berba every day for me.
if RVP is benched however then the berba block wouldnt be a bad move but i still have faith in rooney.Open Controls
Is anyone getting slightly worried about the recent dip in form for Nani and VDV?
VDV hasnt been performing to his usual ability recently, and has had BPs stolen by the better Modric. Then again, maybe this is just a blip.
Im more worried about Nani, he's been rather anonymous for the past few games now. He scored v Brum but didnt do much else in that match, and was overshadowed by Giggs in both DGW matches. With Valencia returning in ?weeks, he needs to start performing soon. at the mo, its all about berbatovOpen Controls
nanai is going for me, vdv ill keep due to double and nice fixtures
Open Controls
When you selling Nani?
United have nice fixtures (wolves, villa, wigan) and a double coming up.Open Controlsafter this gameweek
i dont see much in their double week potential and nani seems to have gone off the boilOpen Controls
I'm keepin both, they will always prevail.
Alternatives like Malouda, Kuyt, Nasri and Arschavin I dont like as much
Maybe A. Young, but Villa are still crapOpen Controlsmy mdfield will be
barton fabs vdv cahill young
then young to arteta gwk29 for evertons double and nice run of fixturesOpen Controls
Would be interesting to see an analysis on Nani with and without Rooney in the team.
I suspect his quitness is partially down to the way the team sets up with Rooney in the side. No doubt when Wayne is there the first plan is to get the ball to him in dangerous areas, which will take away from the amount of possesion afforded to Nani.
If my memory serves me correctly, Nani's best form has been when Wayne was missing from the side and Nani was the man to go to when a United player had the ball. With Wayne out Slur Alex would have adopted tactics to work openings for Nani to run at the opposition and get the ball in space.Open Controls
Loving the fact Obi Martins is back 🙂

Shall we start a sweepstake on how old he says he is this time?

Who is taking Set pieces at WBA? Brunt?
Open ControlsFowler, Owen and Rooney, top 3 english wonderkid strikers, at fire at the age of 18 with the world at their feet, why do they get poorer and poorer the older they get?

Open Controlsdidnt watch the premier league much in the 90s i must admit, was he also a teenage wonder?
Open Controls
Comfort zone / money ?
Open ControlsI think it just questions the longevity of scousers 😉
Open ControlsSo Rooney didn't have the best season of his career to date last year?
Open Controls
Need a little help, have
VDV Fabs Nani Barton Nzogbi
Berba Torres DJ Campbell
Have 2.0 in bank
Was thingking of getting rid of Nzog and bring in Adam, Yaya or Dempsey
Then next week Berba or for RVP (DGW in mind)
Any thoughts?????????????Open ControlsDGW in mind? do you realise that Berba also has a DGW in gw 28 when arsenal dont play?
Open Controls
poorer? Rooney was Impresive last season!
Open Controlsyeah i know, not the best analysis of my carreer i must admit, it just stroke me when i just watched clips from the young fowler, some goals he made huh

Can someone confirm. If I play my WC this week I have unlimited transfers for the week without losing points right? Even if I make a change today and another a few days later
Open Controls
yes

Open Controls
it also means you have unlimited transfers for the rest of the season not just this week..

I knew Benfica wouldn't sell David Luiz if chelsea didn't pay the 30m...
25m + player ain't good for benfica... we cannot afford chelsea's sallary's, and a good player never goes to a club to see his salary reduced...Open Controls
Just on Rooney i heard a stat earlier in the week that of his goals last year al arge chunk were assists from Valencia, so there could be something in that.
Open Controls
Valencia was crossing the ball to where Rooney wanted it.
Nani is too busy crossing to the fat bloke in Row F.Open Controlsvery true, rooney looks like a question mark everytime nani is about to do something out wide, he has no idea what will happen, and rightly so, he surely miss the predictability of valencias crosses
Open Controls
+1000000,,,nani is a complete jerkaholic
Open ControlsNot this season. I used to live in Greenwich - a nice two-mile stroll (stagger) from the Valley. Now I'm two hours away by train.
If we sneak back into the Championship, I'll be having a serious look at it. Then, obviously, I'll have a divorce to go through...Open Controls
true enough ,
valencia started making wonder crosses, rooney started scoring wonder headers
BUT b4 last season he wasnt much of a goal scorer with his head, so even with valencia back soon, we dont know that the headers will returnOpen Controls
Fact I dont think Rooney scored when Valencia wasnt playing and most came down right side
Open Controlslol,,,"FACT I dont think",,,!!!!!!!!

and guys who would you bench: Barton or Nzogbia?

Open Controls
Walcot or Nasri for the double?
Open Controls
WC Team is:
Foster Begovic
Johnson R Djourou Coleman Kelly Hutton
Brunt A Young Van der Vaart Nani Adam
Berbatov Van Persie Tevez
Any input would be totally FABULOUS! 🙂Open Controlsi think in general that team is very much accepted around here
Open ControlsNasri or Fabs needed IMO. I had some thoughts and I am seeing recently for some cup games Wenger is rotating Fabs or Nasri on the bench. When Nasri is on the pitch without Fabs he plays centrally and that means huge points!!!! Everybody will get rid I believe so he is my differential for double 27.
Open ControlsYeh nice team, picking your subs is gonna give u a headache too.
Open Controlsthats my biggest headache at the moment.... Trying to figure out whether Brunt on the bench is a bad move this week as he may get points against Wigan? Also do I bench Coleman seeing as they are playing L'Arse??
My team with Subs is
Foster (Begovic)
Djourou Kelly Hutton (Johnson R Coleman)
A Young Van der Vaart Nani Adam (Brunt)
Berbatov Van Persie TevezOpen Controls
Lads can I bet Bendtner to score tree goals this cup game?
Open Controlsholloway is becoming a bit much
Open Controlsthe fine was a joke but he's on the tv every other day these days saying something a little risquee and daring

Oh i agree!
Open ControlsYeah that offering resignation is such an empty gesture
"it's up to him whether he accepts it or not".
Obviously he ain't gonna go. All seems a bit 'look at how whacky i am'.Open Controls
means Adam is on the way out. I would love that. It will get it easier for Brunt/Etheringhton in my team.

It is rubbish though that he can't pick his own team. Whoever fined him should shut up.
