Having analysed the stand out Fantasy performers over the past few fixtures in our recent articles for members, we turn our attentions to team data this time round. In the first instalment of a two-part series, we look at Attacking intent across the last six Gameweeks, assessing the key statistics available in our members section:
I think you guys will win. Hussey is a big loss. Clarke has been carrying the side for a year.

Looking forward to Wilson returning for Stoke. Not only do they have great fixtures, he's at the bargain price of 3.9 and, to top it off, I remember him being (surprisingly) statistically one of the most creative FBs in the league before he was injured!
Open Controlshey duff i remember those stats I was one of the ones that had him at the time. I have bego now though not doubling up yet but i have to be rid of demel so he looks the obvious route
Open ControlsYeah I'm ditching Demel for him also. I had Begovic but I ended up getting rid for DDG.

Torres Magic replied last page. You guys shall be called 'The Desperate Duo'

Yeah sydney. No work tomorrow so the livo Swansea game at 2am is looking good

little lukin - you were asking about the doubles competition? click my link for the details.
Open ControlsThanks I was just reading it. Working out whether I've got enough time on my hands. Would like to find a Kiwi team mate.
CALLING ALL/ANY KIWIS, do you want to make a team?Open Controlsit's for fun so shouldn't take too much time. just a short email conversation with your partner each week about starting xi, captain and potential transfers and that's all it really takes :D. you can also comment on the article asking for a partner (leave your email!) and people might see that later and contact you to pair up
Open ControlsI gotta spot at lukins!
Open ControlsOK LL, I'm game.
Open ControlsCool, how do we swap details, I dont want to put my e-mail on here?
Open Controls
so is this what we call the DZ then? sleepy time in the UK?
Open ControlsYep. We're just coming to the end of it though, as they're starting to wake up.
Slow enough to actually have a conversation as opposed to 5min pages... 🙄Open ControlsVery good TW - you?
Wildcarding me, only making 4 or maybe 5 changes though... 😯Open Controlsquite good. had an awesome birthday yesterday! :D.
😯 why wildcard then? there could be some big dgws later on....Open ControlsI loaded up on 5 LFC and Swans players, and need to take a hit to field 11. I also have no bench...
Guthrie, Shaw, Demel. So that needs to be changed.
I'm guessing quite a few will need hits this week, or if not they don't have many dgw players going today - hoping this will work to my advantage to push me a little further up the leader board?
But we will see. . .Open Controlsyeah guess we'l have to see if your gamble pays off or not. i had 4 dgwers in suarez (c) studge enrique and davies. probably gunna take a hit to do suarez + marv to lambert + afro. and yeahh most everyone will be taking hits so it shouldn't really hurt you too much
thanks! 😀Open Controls
Morning 🙂

As we enter the final third of the season, anyone got any key last-leg strategies they want to share?
An obvious one is; have players with something to play for at either end of the league (especially Wigan players) but avoid the defences of relegation-threatened teams.Open ControlsSame strategy as always...
Have a key core to your team that is consistent, and play the fixtures with the rest.
Starting to get a little to late on value (from around gw32 on).Open Controls
So what does bale have to work on to be popped on the top shelf with Ronaldo and messi
Open ControlsGetting 40+ goals in a season?
Open Controls+1
Open ControlsI meant including cup games, europe etc. 40 should be manageable is he wants to be compared.
Open Controlsyeah i know that. but i think 30-35 might do....
what is he at this year?Open Controls
go to chelsea?
Open Controlsand play upfront with mata, hazard,lampard behind him....yeahhh... 🙂
Open Controlsbale is going to play up front now? surely ba and falcao (if he moves there) would start up top and not bale.
plus i doubt bale would go to chelsea... don't think it'd be a good move for himOpen Controls
He needs to win stuff - and probably play overseas. He has the talent but, at the moment, his ability is still more physical than technical in nature.
Open Controls
@TW
If I set up a team now and do price rises, can I then enter it at the last minute to decide wether or not to do an unlimited transfer team instead? If you catch my drift?Open Controlswell you need a partner for starters.... then you two can talk about strategies
Open ControlsYou won't have unli transfers for the 1st GW of the tourney. Very disadvantageous.
Open ControlsI'm not sure I'm reading it right, it's still a bit early for me.
Open ControlsIf you create a team now, you'll have a max of 2 FTs come GW30 (start of the tourney).
Puts you in a tight spot come GW30 if emergencies crop up (DGWs and injuries). Those who created teams after GW29 have the advantage of unlimited transfers to sort out their teams should these situations arise.Open Controlsprecisely. and please note the rules of no hits in gw 30 and that you have to use all your ft's in gw 30 so that everyone goes into gw 31 with 1ft

Messi 37 goals (4 PKs)
Ronaldo 24 goals (5 PKs)
Messi = Alien 😆Open Controlsthat's only in la liga. what about overall?
btw did you see his game winning fk vs granada today? 😀Open ControlsI like Ronaldo more.
The ultimate footballing machine.Open ControlsRonaldo 180 (apps) 183 (goals)
Messi 365 (apps) 301 (goals)
Go Ronaldo!Open ControlsRonaldo is the better player, imo.
Open Controlsits not that i dnt like messi he's brilliant but just ask urself do u see messi striking a header similar to ronaldo's vs utd
u'll get the answerOpen ControlsI said, i think Ronaldo is the better player.
Open Controlslol.. erm.. champ league final 2009......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe15uHGeKVUOpen Controls
why do you think that LR?
i think it's a bit unfair to compare them (though everyo always will) because they are different types of players. i'm obviously biased but i think messi is the better player. i've seen both live (as well as on TV many times) and both amaze me with their talent! ronaldo is definitely more of an aerial threat but messi has such great control of the ball, he just dances with it! and is more creative in making chances for teammatesOpen ControlsI think Ronaldo is more capable of creating things himself. I think they are equal when it comes to their shot taking ability and messi is the better dribbler. Rest, Ronnie is better. Plus, you forget that Messi has Xavi Iniesta Busquets Fab supplying to him.
Just my opinion.Open ControlsOzil-Di Maria-Alonso-Khedira are no slouches in providing. Just saying.
Open ControlsRonaldo's performance for Portugal and Messi's for Argentina also influences my opinion.
Open Controlswhile messi does need to do better for argentina i don't think national appearances are a fair comparison.
portugal just focuses on giving ronaldo the ball while argentina has some egos and team chemistry problems.... not to mention maradona wasn't the greatest of coaches.... and just for the record, in 2012 messi tied the argentina national team record for most goals scored in a calendar year so he's not doing too shabby...Open Controls
fair enough. while i disagree with your conclusion, your reasoning makes sense.
you mustn't discout who ronaldo has supplying him though...
and i just feel like it's more often that messi saves barca with a moment of brilliance than ronaldo saves RM. granted messi choked last year vs chelsea but all players choke from time to time, as ronaldo has on several occasions too.
but at the end of the day i think we aught to stop debating who is better and just enjoy that we have such brilliant players in top form at the peak of their careers right now. if i was a manager i'd love to have either of them in my team!Open Controls
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is planning to bring his captain from Swansea, Ashley Williams, to Anfield. The 28-year-old centre-back could be a replacement for Jamie Carragher, 35, who retires at the end of the season.
Open ControlsSkrtel to be moved to bench, or another club?
Open ControlsAnother club according to reports, I think they have had a 'tiff'
Open ControlsWhich clubs are linked? Any English clubs?
Open Controlslooking more and more likely. how much they sign coates for? was it 10 million pounds? am i wrong in my recollections that he didnt look too bad when he first arrived i know he was shite in some recent cup match according to reports. seems such a waste
Open Controls
Best centre-back this season. Tho it speaks of another established player signing for Pool and becoming a grand disaster.

A great little game that I used to play years ago, and found again this week...Open ControlsApart from Suarez or Sturridge what other changes should I make in GW27
Szcszeny Begovic
Zabaleta Demel Davies Dawson Pearce
Gerrard Walcott Mata Johnson Maloney
Suarez Sturridge Lambert
Any ideas would be appreciatedOpen ControlsUnited s March fixutures, the Norwich game may be RVP-less (perhaps) ?
Norwich Sat 2 Mar 15:00
Real Madrid. Tue 5 Mar 19:45
West Ham Sat 9 Mar 12:45
Reading Sat 16 Mar 17:30
Sunderland. Sat 30 Mar 12:45Open ControlsThat seems to be the concensus on here Evs.
Open ControlsGood morning Evs. Hows the wc shaping up?
Open ControlsHey LR, only little tweaks with it....
Brining in Felliani, Baines, Kebe, Dawson, & Pearce (or Wilson)
Then Gw 29 the Everton pair ➡ mata & 5.6m defender. The trades will change depending on dgw and blanks...Open ControlsSo basically using it to set up a decent squad. Made some TV?
Open Controls
And yes, one of him and Rooney will be rested imo.
Open ControlsIt could very well be quite a few rests for RVP here onwards, if City don't up their game.
The league's pretty much wrapped up if you ask me.Open ControlsWho asked you?
Open ControlsOn a serious note, i think you should team up with Rukawa.
Open ControlsI think SAF will wait until it becomes mathematically out of reach before going to radical, obviously champions league involvement (or not) will dictate a lot . . .
Open ControlsHome games, at the least. I won't be too confident captaining VP or Roo
Open Controls
The United fixtures are inclining me to stick it out without RVP Until GW29..
Zep since you're in a similar position what will you be doing?
Rooney/ RVP?Open Controlsanybody still without a partner for the doubles?
Open ControlsENR, ruk was wanting to team up with you for the doubles comp! i gave him your email and he said he was gunna send you mails in a couple hours
Open Controls- Open Controls
Ah too late for the ladyguy. I already said yes to Dr I. We aren't from the same country too btw! Haha.
Duuude, btw, don't give my email so much publicity. Thanks for being a match-maker though.Open ControlsCan we treble btw? Considering how Rukawa and myself are ONE entity.
Open Controlsdang!
sorry about that. didn't know how else to help him get in touch with you
lol :D.
i wanna say yes but i feel like that would end up as too much of a mess ;P. let berbilly LR and i talk it over and get back to you. you could always just pair up with ruk?Open ControlsCool, lemme know if its possible. You know me TW, I'm a man of honour. I don't go back on my word 😉
Open Controls
So ... Everton vs Oldham on the 27th. No blank, then?
Open ControlsDepends if Everton win or not.
Open Controlsif everton win then there's a blank
if they lose then no blankOpen ControlsOK, thanks all! 🙂
Open Controls
That's a replay from this round Doos.
Open Controls
Just took a look at my members cup duel to see what I needed from today.
However, my oppo is 13 points up with exactly the same 5 doublers and captain so I've already lost.
Well played Champ. Well played.Open ControlsBad luck, Anorak ... 🙁
Open Controls
Dzeko or Sturridge and why
Open Controls@Doosra
You're currently up by 2 points due to home advantage.
Suarez C vs Sturridge C. Let's do this. 😀Open ControlsWHat's the general consensus do people want the blank to go ahead? this liverpool dgw and immediate blank muddled me up because of no livey players when announced with injuries and players not nailed on but i have seemed to cope somehow.
But this one could be good if dgw is a few gw's after the blank.
Currently have luiz, mata, walcott and fellaini... with some careful and bit more luck, it could be a good dgw coming up without the wcOpen ControlsAnyone watching the cricket between NZ and England. Its a close one with NZ needing 81 off the last 10 overs
Open ControlsI am.
Stinks of a McCullum finish here.Open ControlsHow many wickets in hand?
Open ControlsYup, fancu England to nick it, though.
But u never know with the short boundaries there in NZOpen ControlsYeah, just looked at it on a globe. The sea is very close all round it.
Open ControlsNot according to wikipedia
Open ControlsActually thats not true but it is bigger than India
Open ControlsBig Fan of NZ as it happens Ryan.

Should Gareth Bale move to Madrid or Barcelona at the end of the season even if Spurs qualify for the Champions League?
Open ControlsIf he likes polishing wood with his arse, certainly.
Open ControlsYou joking?
He'll play most games at Utd. SAF is no fool.Open ControlsThank you.
Open Controls
Lol
So you think he might not feature regularly in the starting Xi's of either? You could argue that Ozil was not as good at Bremen as Bale is at Spurs right now, though? Ozil had a great World Cup. Bale has had a couple of very good seasons in the PLOpen Controls
Can't see why not.
twice the club that spurs will ever be.
financial benefits too.
hot babes as well.Open Controlsat barca he would take sanchez or pedro's starting spot, who would he start instead of at RM??
Open ControlsDi Maria. Plus there is a possibility of Ronaldo leaving.

Hi guys how do I look for Next Gw, do yas reckon its a good idea doubling up on Utd defence, thanks
