With the Monday night Old Trafford clash remaining, we take our regular raid into the members data to pick out some key numbers from the Gameweek so far. This week’s digging reveals not only some of the leading figures from the weekend but also some early key analysis as double Gameweek 36 preparations pick up pace.
Looking for advice on my WC team:
Hart Elliot
Baines Vertonghen Cuellar Hooviveld Figueroa
Bale Mata Toure Sessegnon Maloney
Kone Tevez Defoe
Some players a bit odd I know but gives me strong GW 35 and 37 first 11s and 10 double game week players for GW 36.
Have put quiet a bit of thought into it and planned week by week but can't help being underwhelmed looking at that side. it's a wrench to give up all the reliables. Bear in mind I will have 2 free transfers in GW 37 so can get RVP in for home to Swansea or whoever else is flavour of the week.
So thoughts? On my midfield and attack in particular??

How long will suarez's ban be? I hope at least 5 matches maybe more. The trouble is, Liverpool haven't really got anything to compete for in the league.
Open Controls
Ballotelli got 4 for his stamp a while back IIRC. Zidane got 3 for his headbutt. Shouldn't be more than 4 on that logic.
Open ControlsWhat did Barton do to get his ban? I can't remember exactly what he did but he got a ten match ban didn't he?
Open ControlsElbowed Tevez, kneed Aguero and tried to headbutt Kompany. Then got a red, which was his second red of the season which automatically meant a 4 match ban. So it was basically an additional 8 matches from the disciplinary review (he got 12 in total). I struggle to see Suarez getting that many.
Open Controls
I think I just cracked my GW 36 team...
Have time for some of the transfers so hopefully wont have to take much minus points... but this looks decent enough even if I have to do it this week...

Prefer the -4 one. Still dont get why youre losing Robles?
Open Controlskeeping robbles
I only used the wc for 33 and got em in.. he shud do nicely for the double 🙂Open Controls
What was Defoe's punishment when he bit Mascherano a while back? Was there as much furore about that as this Suarez incident?
Open Controlsyellow card and no fuss
Open ControlsProbably the best explanation of it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/6076094.stm
Open Controls- Open Controls
I didn't see that incident, but I would assume that Defoe was somewhat provoked whereas Suarez was not. Also, Suarez has previous.
Open Controls
Tevez or Aguero?
Open Controls
After his horrible performance today? Doubt Mancini loved that sloppy attitude
Open Controls
I can't recall ever having my transfers forced so much.
I have to get Giroud and Suarez out, and I have to get Bale in.
Can anyone convince me to go with anyone else other than Kone, bearing in mind that I'll also get Tevez?Open Controls
It's Kone or Lukaku in that price range.
I'd go for Kone.Open Controls
Good move..with so many potential iffy picks Kone is at least nailed on...
Open ControlsA part of me really wants to take a punt on Ba though.
But yeah, I'd be annoyed if Ba only played one game.Open Controls
Exactly the same boat Trigg. Fired Giround to Tevez, will sit tight and think over the others but it looks like at least 2 hits for me now.
Open Controls
Defoe, maybe a risky Ba
Open Controls
My 'relentless attack' on Psychobingo was meant to be tongue in cheek, I didn't think he'd get so angry about it.
I stand by what I said about Suarez though.Open ControlsSuarez seems to have the temperament and attitude of a child.
Open ControlsWhy not? I think it's a reasonable opinion to have considering the circumstances.
Open Controls
Open ControlsToo subtle for me.
Open Controls
Im not angry at all. Ive just grown tired of your countless posts stating pretty much the same. In your mind you might think youre beeing funny and "have a right to do so" just because Suarez did what he did, but you have got to try and understand that things like that grow old, so fast. We`re all agreeing with you about todays actions, theres no doubt about that. What more do you want? Im even inclined to agree with you on most counts of your statements about the man. I just wish youd stop making 10-15 posts on the same matter for each post that pops up on this site.

Suarez & Giroud > Aguero & Tevez (-4)
Can't afford this after Tevez's rise, if I wait I'll have to opt for Defoe/Lukaku/Kone instead of one of them.
End of the season punt?! 😉Open ControlsIt is a punt! I think Aguero will just play one in the DGW, but if they both start at the weekend, it could be profitable right away.
Open ControlsYeah the thing is I'm not really keen on either of the 3 other options I mentioned. Defoe is probably the most tempting choice but not assured to start, and Spurs have tricky fixtures...
Open Controls
So Aguero is definitely gonna be fit for West Ham game?
Open ControlsWho knows 😛
It is a gamble, and oh so tempting... Will probably not go ahead with itOpen Controls
Right then - Gervinho out for Yaya or Nasri? Think Yaya is the most likely to play all 3 upcoming league games, but Nasri seems to be finding the net more often
Open Controls
i'm going yaya
Open Controls
So looking at doing Cazorla-Bale and Suarez - (someone under 8.0 0r 7.5 if i get walcott)
This would leave enough to do Sissoko->Walcott next week
So who out of 7.5 strikers (already have tevez & rvp)
A) Benteke
B) Kone
C) Lukaku
D) Ba (but get michu instead of walcott)Open Controlsb
Open Controls
Rate my wc team:
Hart*/Mccarthy
Vert*/Luiz*/Figueroa*/Hooiveld/Martin
Mata*/Yaya*/Bale*/Walcott/Cheap(don't know yet)
Defoe*/Aguero*/Kone*
about3.0 in bank!Open Controls
Righty... it seems that getting Tevez in tonight, if you need the cash, is a good thing... but why bring in Bale or xyz if they're not rising or the player you're selling isn't falling?
I don't get why people are taking hits so early when anything can happen during the week.Open ControlsWaiting as long as possible is best
I'm avoiding any transfers unless there is price rises... .1's shouldn't matter too much at this stage but I need it still to keep up my lovely midfieldOpen ControlsBecause a lot of people are doing: Santi+Suarez > Bale+Tevez. One is falling and one is rising of those 4.
Open ControlsYes... but I already covered that in what I posted...
Open ControlsOh yeah, I see. But basically I think the only reason is because of price changes. The few people that are doing transfers which aren't affected by price changes tonight are probably doing it because they haven't got the time to keep checking FISO this week.
Open Controls
Well, most ussual transfer is Caz->Bale and Caz is dropping.
Still, value is not that important at this stage, so people should overlook that 0.1 loss.Open ControlsSorry. 🙂
Open Controls
So, 2 FTs.
I am selling Sissoko deffinitely and Gerrard or Cazorla.
Buying Bale is not a brainer and then I am left with 5.3 for midfielder.
It should be Maloney, right?Open Controls
azip should play next games doesnt he? no other right back in chelsea... looking for the most nailed def from che
Open Controls
a) Cech + Kompany
or
b) Hart + Ivanovic?
Not keen on Vert since already have DawsonOpen ControlsAny idea how much Santi is going to drop by?
Open Controls
Will Jevans survive not falling tonight?
Open Controlsi think so
Open Controls
Please help a fella out, poised and ready with my wildcard... any advise on this team??
Hart (Robles)
Luiz, Clichy, Dawson (Sagna, Barnett)
Bale, Mata, Hazard, Fellaini (Maloney)
Tevez, Defoe, Lukaku
Please and Thanks!Open ControlsRooney and Sissoko out Bale and Tevez in. No brainier right? Had to be done tonight.
Please help...Open ControlsSuarez going to fall tonight too. Mass exodus.
Open ControlsI can afford the drop, just did Giroud > Tevez, so I'll wait as long as possible before an eventual Suarez > Aguero transfer
Open ControlsDid the same Chris, sitting on Luis 'til I work who to draw in. I'll probably get Kone, he'll get sent off next GW, Suarez won't get banned! 🙂
Open ControlsHaha. I'm thinking of gambling on Kun, not really tempted by Kone/Lukaku/Defoe (Will get Maloney and already got Bale)
Open Controls
Movement of Jah people.
Open Controls
Santi falling tonight, feck, thought he was protected.
Open ControlsI don't understand price pritectiin any more. Seems that his % was reset to zero when his flag came off, but he's not protected.
Open ControlsI think maybe it's because he wasn't flagged for 2 days. So a flag removal would reset his NTI but not offer price protection
Open Controls
One dilemma before bed.
I'm chasing in my mini leagues and I know the leaders are likely to copy me with who I get in this week. Planning to get Nasri and Vertonghen as differentials who I don't think are in their plans. Do I get them this week and risk them drafting them for the doubles or hold a week and risk missing any points this week?Open ControlsWhat a load of tosh....Tory MP on Sky news (what the papers say) saying "our footballers should be role models for kids"....Why?....silly sod...
Open ControlsIf Fellaini continues to play in a holding role, is it necessary to transfer him out? Will he be pushed forward anytime soon?
Open Controls
I'm in a ML with monthly prizes and need to make the best team for May and take the penalty in April. What's the best team for May with a 101M budget if I sell all players?
Open ControlsThe prize for one month equals the buy-in. With my overall score long gone this is my best play.
Open Controls
Robles, Figueroa, Scharner, Maloney, Gomez, Kone ..... 😉
Open ControlsI planned to get Rooney out this week, but I'm stuck with him now, as I need 2 FTs just to sort out the other 2/3 of my misbehaving strikeforce.
I was going to get RvP back in for GW37, shall I just stick with Rooney now? Rooney to RvP in GW37 seems like such a waste of a transfer.Open Controls
Not when hes going for Golden boot 🙂
Open Controls
Ivanovic or Luiz for next week and DGW?
CheersOpen ControlsIvan caught rabies, so play him.
Open Controls
Pick one.
a) Ba + Nasri
b) Tevez + Oscar
c) Defoe + SilvaOpen ControlsC
