Gameweek 25 is only just finished but thereโs 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…
So still umming and arrgghiing over doing my WC this week or next.
This week gives the chance for 2 transfers in GW28
With the internationals though that plan might go completely out of the window therefore is it better to go for WC in GW27?Open ControlsI am in same boat but doing it this week, be brave
Open Controls
anyone know what the story with Foley at Wolves? aint played for a while.
Open ControlsShould be back this week, had an ankly injury
Open Controls
Is Odemwingie injured?
Open ControlsHe mentioned in a post match interview that he ankle was sore becuase somebody stood on it... I don't think that there is much in it tbh... He should be ok for this weekend
Open Controls
Blimey. Kolarov going off on 57 minutes as my (C) that time cost me 13 thousand places. And its not like many have him either. Ergh.
Open ControlsWant a VP match?
Open ControlsTell me about it Greg, tell me about it.... ๐
Seriously thinking of chucking him the armband this week too. Just for old times' sake....Open ControlsCouldn't bare it again. I can't see him scoring again. Although he might.
Whats that lil website you set up Jamsiep. Seems interesting.
And in reply to Soup, ok then.Open Controls
Hi Guys
For GW26 who would you bench out of
Johnson (Roger), Djourou or Kelly
ThanksOpen ControlsDunno if my brother mentioned it yesterday, but Lee Mason was refereeing a school game yesterday! Serious demotion from the farce that was the Arsenal game....
He also gave a penalty to the home side, cue this text from little brother:
'Mason gave us a penalty today. He bloody loved it, it was like being back at Old Trafford.'
I lol'ed, a lot.Open ControlsAnyone know if Faye is just back from injury? Or know why he missed a ton of games?
Open ControlsReplacement for nasri?? 7.9mil to spend,
other mids are adam, nani, VDV and dempsey. Thoughts??Open ControlsDon't you hate it when a rival uses the phrase "bonus point magnet" during a FF discussion in the pub, and you realise that you're no longer the only one who uses FFS/similar sites as a resource. ๐
Open ControlsI realised that I was dropping in words like differential last time I had a FF discussion at the pub. Few other words I've got from here as well that have never been picked up on.
Gotta watch what I say!Open Controlswow, that's amazing that you can actually go to a pub and discuss fantasy football w/complete strangers - what a life!
Open Controls
Trying to decide what to do with my free transfer this week. WC next week.
Current team is Foster; Djourou, Vidic, Kolorov (Kelly); Nani, Fabregas, Adam, VDV (Dempsey); Berbatov, Tevez, Odem
with £1.8m in the bank.
Thinking of benching Odem and transferring out Dempsey for someone, which gives £8.7m to spend. Any thoughts on who to bring in for 1 week, or other suggestions welcome. A Man City midfielder is tempting...Open ControlsHe's over on the left and on the right,
is it Shaun Wright-Phillips? No he's sh*te!
No it's not Aaron Lennon,
someone better tell 'em,
it's Ashley Young and he's f**kin' dynamite.
Singing Aye, Aye Ashley, Ashley Young!
Singing Aye, Aye Ashley, Ashley Young!,
Singing Aye, Aye Ashley, Aye, Aye Ashley,
Aye, Aye Ashley, Ashley Young.
etc.Open Controls
Anyone got any thoughts, posted at 9.40....
ThanksOpen Controls
WC Team - Thoughts/Improvements?
Foster - Begovic
Kelly - Djourou - Vidic - Terry - Simpson
Ferguson - Adam - VDV - Fabregas - Nani
Berbatov - Tevez - Odemwingie
Will do Berba to RVP after this weekend for the double.Open ControlsI have a similar spine of the team... looks good to me
I have RVP at the moment but contemplating taking him out as he may not play DGW/ always gets injured for holland it seemsOpen ControlsDon't let the FFS article put you off too much, RVP could score 15+ in one fixture of his DGW.
Open Controls
So i'm fiddling with my team atm, what do you all think of this:
Foster Al-Habsi
Walker Huth R.Johnson Coleman Djourou
N'zogbia Adam Young VDV Nani
RVP Dzeko Tevez
And then next week
Dzeko -> Odemwingie
N'Zogbia -> Etherington/Cahill
Thoughts?Open ControlsDzeko has WBA this weekend, Nzogbia has BLA this weekend!
Back to the drawing board.Open Controls
Has anybody still got any Chelsea players in their FPL team?
Open ControlsNo, but I probably would if their fixtures were not so awful combined with the fact that they might have a blank. I can't get any more information about gameweeks into my head so I just avoid the teams that might have a blank that I don't know about.
Open Controlswas thinking of luiz in my wc... maybe a huge gamble
Open ControlsI considered that too. I wish Carlo would say Luiz is going to take over at center back.
Open Controls
Does anyone on here know how you get an apprenticeship in decorating? Don't think I want to do a degree anymore.
Open ControlsNa but I saw an ad for an apprentice butcher in my local one if your interested
Open ControlsGo for something more skilled like stone masonry or fine carpentry, more bucks in that further down the line
Open ControlsCarpentry would be alright, I really don't have a clue what I want to do tbh.
Open ControlsIf I had my time again I'd consider becoming a chiropractor, £40 they charge and you are only there 15mins. They are making £12,000 a month I'm told. Piece of fkn piss job too and you are your own boss.
Open ControlsDid a quick google on this as that sounded weird and the results I found was that they make 22-40K in their first years but that that can rise to 55K-70K later. Based on UK figures, much lower in the US.
Still not bad.Open Controlsin solihull they are making £12,000 a month, heard it from the horses mouth
Open Controls
Suck it up man, do the degree. Better job prospects and the best 3 years of your life. Hate it? Fine, drop out and then get your trade!
Open ControlsNah, I haven't even applied for anywhere away from home anyway so would be pretty pointless doing a degree in something just for the sake of it.
Open ControlsTrue, wouldn't recommend doing it for the sake of it. Oh well mate, all I'd suggest is look in the yellow pages for painters and decorators and get on the phone and see if they need apprentices! Good luck bud!
Open ControlsCheers mate! Hadn't thought of the yellow pages until you just mentioned it.
Open Controls- Open Controls
Cheers, bit far away from me though I think.
Really struggling, don't have a job at the moment and don't know what to do next year. I only go to college at the moment..Open Controls
Your thoughts on my below WC team please.
Also, it may be important to know I play in a month to month H2H for specialty beers and this really is my first year ever following any type of futbol outside of the last two world cups. 104.5 to work with and below team leaves me with 0.8 in bank.
Szczesny (Begovic)
Huth/Hutton/Kelly/R.Johsnon/Rafael
Malouda/Brunt/Adam/Fabs/Nani
Tevez/Berbatov/Odemwinge
My thoughts are that I’m not going crazy on DGWers, can field 11 decent players for week 28 a few of wich are DGWers, and I can get Cahill in for the Malouda spot by GW29 and will have 1 more transfer to use in there in case of epic failure.
Thank YouOpen Controlsis that a spurs defender?
Open ControlsWow no VDV..I don't believe it! slightly refrshing if not a bit mad..
Open ControlsWe have a pseudo gentleman’s agreement in our wee little league. We kind of had a draft making some players ineligible to others
Robinson, Rooney, Hangeland, VDV, Nasri and are off limits
I have the rights to Rafael, Cahill, Nani, Tevez and Berbs
so who in for hutton?
Kolarov in
Malouda to A. Young?Open Controls
You've got 8 DGWers which would be fine I think. I don't like Malouda at all. If you take out the first five weeks of the season, what has he done? If you're avoiding GW28 absentees, I would consider Young instead of Malouda or perhaps Cahill if you want a punt on him being back.
Open Controls
Who to make way for Tevez then...Rooney or Van Persie?
Horrible call to have to make!Open Controlsouch. i reckon either way, tevez has to come in somehow!
Open Controlsyeah van persie has been much more consistent so is probably the bigger risk to take out. although rooney was incredible this week, really looked in top nick, his shot from out the box that nearly got him the hattrick was an absolute screamer. He looked as good as any player can be to be honest.
Open ControlsIt's a stinker of a decision all right, either could do it this week! I'm thinking it has to be Rooney at the mmoment.
Open Controls
Hmm only 7 DGW players in my WC team that can't be right?
How many double folks you lot rocking for GW27?Open Controls8
Open Controls
Does anyone think Luiz is worth a punt when the Champions League kicks in again? With him being cup-tied and able to play a couple of positions he could well be used to keep the other defenders fresh for the European games.
I haven't looked too closely into how the CL games fit into the PL schedule but, barring the next three home games, Chelsea have a very nice run of fixtures all the way up to week 35.
Probably best to wait and see how he handles the 'rough and tumble' of the Premier League but does anyone agree with my basic logic? Or is everyone expecting Chelsea to get knocked out by Copenhagen?Open ControlsI imagine he'd be a starter after they paid 20 odd million for him, i'll definitely keep an eye on his situation..
Open Controls
Hmmm hearing tenuous rumours that Joey Barton has turned down a contract extension (current deal terminates the end of next season), hope it's just bollocks and he signs.
Open Controls๐
Me PhiL, me.
Chuck me an old RMT there would ya, must be 5 mins since you last posted one, getting withdrawals here!Open Controls
Wouldn't that be Joey Barton acting like an ungrateful 'orrible swine. If the shoe fits....
Newcastle gave him a lot of support, it would be typical of the man to throw that back in their faces.Open ControlsTo be honest if it is true I'd say he's acting arsey over the lack of ambition in selling Carroll etc.
Open Controls
He'll sign...probably just bleeding out his fanny cos he wants more wonga.
Open Controls
Apologies if some of you have already come across this question from me today but a couple of opinions would be nice ๐
Vidic & 6.8 midfielder
OR
Kolarov & A Young
Please and thank you ๐Open ControlsShame you didn't ask the question yesterday - Vidic and Meireles would've been a cracking combo. I'd probably go with Vidic & Nolan now though.

Open Controls
anyone know where i can find an fa cup mini ball replica?
Open ControlsAttila and Hunter and co. All up for a big game of Clubs?
Open ControlsPeople think Tevez is a must this week?
If so it means shipping out one of Berba, RVP, Torres.Open ControlsI'm getting him in, unfortunatly means having to ship Rooney or RVP...am yet to decide which. So what I'm saying is, yes, I'd definatly get him in.
Open ControlsDitch Berbatov. He'll sulk when Wolves kick lumps out of him. And Rooney won't let him have the ball next week in the Manchester derby.
In contrast Tevez will score 4 this week against the worst defence in the league. Then run his little heart out for some bonus points and at least one goal the following week.Open Controls
