Gameweek 25 is only just finished but there’s another one round the corner already. Here’s our regular analysis of the Gameweek OPTA stats, offering Members a closer look at some of the most impressive performers in those midweek matches just gone by…
Ha! We just had Dbronaldo, jamsiep and Sack The Board totally dominating the 'recent comments' section...
Quaid Partridge would have absolutely loved it.Open ControlsMy transfer this week means in going with a plan which is based on all these things having to happen
Tim Cahill better be fit by week 28
Oh
Arsenal better beat Orient
oh
and Spurs - Arsenal better be on or il only have 10 players that week unless i take a hit
oh
And Chelsea better beat Everton in the cup
All cos of selling Berbatov this week. EkkkOpen ControlsI'll have 6 outfield players out if the Arsenal-Spurs game doesn't happen in week 28.
Proper fooked.Open ControlsYou getting Dawson?
Dont know if i will, dont have any room to move anyone just yet.
Getting your buddy tim cahill?
Your also selling berba right?Open ControlsBerba > Tévez this week
Lennon > Cahill in week 28 along with another transfer, at least that's the plan.Open ControlsPretty much same
Selling Barry Ferguson (dont even know il play him in double now with his lack of bps lately) to Cahill 28
and will have another free aswell.Open Controls
he leads spurs defense in pts/game and is only more expensive than hutton.
I'm looking at WC hutton in. But can't figure out why he didn't play this past GW. Fatigue, injury, baby making?
is he a solid pick going forward?
spurs seem like they have tightend up thier defense a bit since the return of Dawson
thougths please.Open Controlsrule number 4 of fantasy football.
never get spurs defendersOpen ControlsHe's very much a midfielder...an extremely hesitant midfielder, he's due. This week he's finally realized that no one plays him to surge forward, and they only overplay any potential over-lap passes for width. Not impressed with his foot though.
Open Controls
do you not think cahill will be ready for this week?
Open ControlsMine:
Gw 26 Hangeland to Shawcross, Dempsey to A.Young
Gw 27 Nothing
Gw 28 Fabregas to cahill, Varney to Saha
Gw 29 Wildcard number 2Open ControlsProper...
You should have sold him this pst weeek and pick him up for this week.
I have Cahill now, this is a do or die game for the lads and I think he will be in the line-up.
I had Odemwingie this past week and now I've picked up Obinna, sometimes it's easier to go with the cheapies than to twist one's brains over a pricey starts that are far from being dialed-in as far as form goes.Open Controls
13.6 for a defender and midfielder just for this gw. 4 hit bot
Clark-Cahill
or
Coleman-Arteta or Lennon
any other combo folk can think ov
or just do hanglaand-Baines well stuck PLZ HELP!!! lolOpen ControlsI went Cahill-Coleman, cahill sight unseen.
Arteta is not himself yet.Open Controls
For the next two gameweeks, Bently or a.Young?
Open ControlsYoung
Open Controls
Foster
Coleman Djourou Rafael
Nani N’zogbia Fabregas VDV
RVP Tevez(c) Berbatov
Subs: Al-habsi, Hangeland, Bardsley, Adam
Any point in using my transfer this gameweek?
Any other thoughts?Open Controlsdoubt that considering he was rotated/injured this week...
Open Controls
Also James, I got 75 in my wildcard week. So no complaints from me.
Open Controlsso how can we tell if an opponent has used a wc or not? for mine on the transfer history page it simply just shows transfers 0, cost 0.
Open ControlsTransfer history page, down the bottom.
Open ControlsTM, how many getting kicked out this gw then. looks like i survived again, very ominous for my rivals
Open ControlsAbout 20 or so. I give it 24 hours just in case of score changes. Need all the core players to fail to see major carnage from here on in.
Open Controls
Did you see the FPL Open is 13th out of all the leagues? Talk about a strong competition.
Open ControlsA couple of the new entries will bump that up higher.
Open Controls
He will still beat you.
Open Controlsoh wow, just realized i was on history and not transfer history haha. i thought it was gone, i knew i had seen it before. just found that he's already used both, nice 🙂
Open Controls
With Vermaelen coming back will this have an impact on Djourou's place?
Open ControlsPrice change predictions updated after a 2 week break.
http://www.torresmagic.webs.com/pricechanges.htmOpen Controlscheers, also nice music, i hanged around a bit
Open Controls
Pretty happy on my WC team now.
Foster Robbo
Vidic Coleman Djourou Kelly Carr
Nani VDV Cahill Fabregas Chadam
Suarez Tevez Odemwingie
Could have bought other players, but as a differential I got Suarez
Got Tevez over RVP because he has no fixture in GW28 and may not play both of DGW
Thoughts?Open Controlsjust realised if i hadn't done rooney to berba for a hit i'd be in top 3k right now, ouch.
Open ControlsSuarez looks like he could be great. Unfortunately Liverpools fixtures aren't all that and i think by the time they ease up, Carroll will probably offer much better value.
Open Controlsyeah, I'm etting Suarez in short term, then maybe downgrade him to carroll and upgrade Odemwingie
Open Controls
nzogbia out for brunt or keep nzogbia
views on this cheersOpen ControlsAny news on Walcott injury yet? Cheers
Open ControlsGood it looks like Hangeland is going up tonight. Would be nice to turn a cheeky profit on him before selling.
Open ControlsGot 0.2 profit from Dempsey already. This Hangeland 0.1, plus their points make a 4 point hit going into GW 24 to get them well worth saving the WC.
Open Controls
Calling all Chelsea fans, thoughts on Luiz starting please. I have Boswingwa and quite fancy getting a Brazilian
Open ControlsNot sure to be honest. Would be inclined to say he will start with Ivan shifting to RB, don't unless Carlo says one way or another can't be certain.
Open Controls
Thought i'd get peoples thoughts on my team for the weekend before this forum goes crazy tomorrow.
Friedel/Howard/Gomes? (Want to replace Reina with someone)
Djourou Kolarov Evra
Adam Cesc Walcott vdv Nani
Berba Tevez
Kingson, Coleman, Odem, MurphyOpen ControlsCheers guys, who would you get as a goalkeeper?
Yeah im still undecided between Djourou and Coleman. Newcastle don't have a decent striker and Everton can't keep a clean sheet so i would be relying on attaking points from Coleman. Probably will go for Coleman though.Open ControlsI also have both Djourou and Coleman, will probably start the latter.
Are you keeping Kolarov long term? Wondering if I should get him in...Open ControlsYep, definitely keeping Kolarov for the season, hes one player i've never thought about getting rid of.
Open Controls
Why not get szceznyyzz and not have to...... 3 aresnal already. damn. Of those then, friedel maybe, but i think some lateral thought may be in order
Open Controlsfoster has dgw coming, scsz, begovic all good options.
Open ControlsI don't like Foster as a long term pick though, Birmingham are conceding goals for fun.
Open Controlsya, once i use my second wc to clean up after gw27 i'll do my keeper changes. got foster at the beginning so will take the profit and get cheaper scsz and begovic in for stockdale.
Open ControlsSame here.
Seriously now thinking of getting Sczcesny as my keeper instead of Foster.
People also forget that Arsenal are going to have another DGW when the Spurs game gets resheduled.
'Chesney' and Begovic/Harper much cheaper than Foster and one other.Open ControlsThing is, i think Wenger is just waiting for an excuse to make Almunia no.1 again. All it will take is one mistake from Szezney. Im just speculating though, don't take my word for it.
Open Controls
Team this GW. what team better?
4 hit
Foster
Coleman,Vidic,Kolorov
Nani,Silva,Nzog,Lennon or young?
Rvp,Berba,TEVEZ
0 hit
Foster
Baines,Vidic,Kolorov
Nani,Silva,Adam,Nzog
Rvp,Berba,TEVEZOpen ControlsAnyone watching Emmerdale tonight? It's not been the same since Hilda Ogden left.
Open ControlsIs dempsey to nolan in gw 27 worth it for a hit just for the added protection of 9 dgw players instead of 8 ?
Open ControlsKevin Nolan in for GW27, has to be done, they're going to rely on him a lot from now on.
Open Controlsand on pens, i think that's the difference for me bringing him in over bentley.
Open Controls
Easy fellas.. Right.. I don't normally do this but wanna get it right.. This is my provisional wildcard team to play before Saturday kick off..
Gomes - Gordon
Bardsley, Kelly, Huth, Djourou, Rafael
Nani, VdV, Adam, Barton, Fabregas
Tevez, Van Persie, Suarez.
Gonna get rid of RvP for the double cos I doubt he'll play both games and this team is to mainly last at least the next 3 weeks.
What do you think?Open ControlsGet rid of Rvp?! Why on earth pick him now for one tough game? And even if he only starts one of the DGW who on earth would you rather? Sorry but this is all ludicrous.
Open ControlsSwayed, like so many by Marks panic inducing article I fear!
Open ControlsCorrect.. i might keep him.. anyway... that's not the point.. what do you think of the team?
Open Controls
Get rid of Gordon, Bardsley (sunderland's fixtures are rubbish for the next 6 weeks or so) Kelly, Barton. Pools fixtures aren't great going forward so Suarez is a risk. Spurs do leak goals so Gomes not a great pick.
Overall 5/10, sorry to be harsh. Study the ticker a wee bit more.Open Controls
Wenger confirms Szczensy to start this weekend. £4.5m snip?
Open ControlsI guess Djourou is the real steal but finding a decent cheap keeper is trickier than a defender?
Open ControlsVermaelen is coming back for he Barca game though.
I don't already have him so I think I'm going to hold off on the Djourou move in my WC team now.Open ControlsSzczensy for me (wildcarding gw27), can be paired with a real cheap goalie and play almost every gw rest of the season. Getting Szczensy instead of Djorou also means one less outfield player with a possible blank in gw28.
Open Controls
im 96 points ahead in both my money leagues.. happy days.
was planning on using WC now but it seems wrong as im so far aheadOpen Controlsany villa fans know if clarke is a banker to start?
Open Controlsya i think so, although not a villa fan. him and walker seem like great budget defenders with a nice run of fixtures ahead.
