Paul Focusing on those players with more than two appearances in the last four gameweeks, we’ve not only picked out those high-performance headline hoggers, but have also identified some others who appear to be on the verge of picking up the plaudits (and subsequent Fantasy Premier League -FPL- points) for displays that have not yet brought reward. Here’s a closer look at the OPTA stats on show…
A wee bit of possibly useless information for the 49,000 of us who still have Craig Gardner from the double gameweek...
I was just looking at my team for the weekend and I automatically left him on the bench in favour of some more illustrious players. However, a scratch beneath the surface reveals that Mr Gardners home scoring record this season (6 goals) trumps any of the top 10 point scoring midfielders' away scoring record!
In other words, if it's a goal you want you've got a much better chance of getting one out of him this weekend than Nani, Dempsey, VDV, Downing, Young or Nolan - penalties or not!
Looks like you have your Captain! 😉
I am 75 points in the clear in my mini league. What are peoples thoughts on protecting the lead, and continuing to match my second place opponents team, or making changes that I think will maximize points?
I have:
Foster, Begovic
Luiz, Coleman, Terry (Jara, Simpson)
A Young, Adam, VDV, Dempsey, Nani
Odemwingie, Van Persie (Gyan)
Main opponent has Luiz, Adam, Dempsey, Nani, Odemwingie from my team, and I worry about him having Malouda.
Was considering bringing in Yaya or Silva, but I am not sure who I’d drop…Nani is my first thought, but I don’t like that because he has Nani…
Thoughts? Is 75 points in the lead close to a done deal in this situation and just hold steady with a match his team strategy?
IMO, just play your own game, unless you have a lot of money on that league?
I've been pulling away from opponents by sticking to my guns while they go crazy finding 'differentials'
right on. Yes, there is a fair amount of money on it, and almost as important, I have been talking huge trash, in the lead, the whole year. I cannot lose this! 🙂
I might drop A Young, as he does not have him, and pickup some City coverage. I may also stand pat, and have two transfers going into the double. That way I may see a new player he picks up this week, for the double!
In the first 27 weeks i spent 24 points on hits.
In the last 7 weeks I've spent 48 points on hits. (Some how my ranking went up in this time too)
Has anyone else's style changed that dramatically?!
nah, 44 and 28 respectively. Relatively many hits lately, but the difference aint that dramatic as in your case.
We've taken the same amount of point hits overall though 🙂
I took a strategy early on to not take hits. Drunken moves got in the way of that strategy, but really, I've only take a 4 pointer a few times this year. In hindsight, they did not overwhelmingly pay off...
I've been debating ether > nzog vs. Zamora > odem for a while...
No brunt, thomas, reid for WB/odem...what u think
😳 didn't even know this was a new article
Foster
Walker, R. Johnson, Coleman
Adam, Nani, vDV, A. Young
RvP, Bent, Carroll
Subs: Begovic, Luiz, Huth, Nasri
Have 2 transfers and 0.6 in the bank. Need suggestions, need to gain 30 points to top my league.
Foster
Luiz, Coleman, Jones
Nani,Walters,Adam,Laps (c), VDV
Bent,RVP
Mingolet,Dawson,Walker,Zamora
Was thinking
Zamora to Odem (and bench VDV).
Would really welcome some advice...Thanks
Is Evra to Sunderland Def for Future is Worth ?
I am not getting Spurs Players their Fix Are though Even In Dgw....
I've only just now managed to summon up the courage to check my FPL team after the Fulham match went about as badly as I could've envisaged from a fantasy perspective.
Wow I've got a lot of dead wood in my team all of a sudden due to injuries over the past week :(. On the plus side I can justify some juicy points hits 😀
Yep - Odem is on fire and has good fixtures, Sturridge is a doubt
You may be chasing points but I've had Odem (as my third striker) for most of the season and I've been lucky knowing when to bench him. Him being injured a lot mid-season helped. But he is on top form and is a joy to watch and has certainly made a difference to the Baggies since Woy took him of the wing.
* sorry - took him of the wing and played him through the centre. He's a class act.
A)Fabs & Sturridge out Yaya & Suarez in
B)Fabs & Ferguson out Kuyt & Yaya in
C)Torres & Ferguson out Suarez & Yaya in
C
Really can't decide on transfers this week - need some City coverage, so thinking:
Nani to Silva
Welbeck to Odemwingie
I have got a 20 point lead in my mini-league, so hesitant about getting rid of Nani, but looking at the fixtures, I think it makes sense - or maybe no..ahhhhhhhh- help!!!
New Carl Sagan Link 😉 Awesome.
Science = everything 😉
Guys - Who to sign this week? My team is..
Begovic, (Szcency)
Johnson,Huth,Luiz (Kelly,Carr)
Dempsey,Nani,Young,Adam,Lamaprd
V,Persie, Zamora (Zigic)
Demps out for YaYa
or Bob Z./Zigic out for Odem.
I can't decide who to captain this week...! Could someone take a look at my team and give me some advice? I have already done Nasri out, Yaya in.
lampard or odemwingie
Cheers man! I've got it on Lampard at the moment, but Odemwingie is a good call!
I'm in a similar situation. Villa don't concede many goals in midland derbies. 2-1 either way? But then I expect Chelsea-Spurs to be a tight game, so I'm going for Kuyt and hope Newcastle don't turn up. * crosses fingers, thumbs and toes *
In my opinion, it's worth a hit to get silva in. But you know better than me!
I just discovered an interesting stat myself. Joe Hart's kept a clean sheet in most of his home games. Its a pretty astounding stat actually.
What u think of this team...
Hart
Lola Luiz Huth RJ Hangeland
Lamps Demps VdV
Suarez Balotelli
Bench: Ohara, Zamora, Ethers
Toyed wit bringing in odem/nzog but I honestly don't know who I'd bench...
Who is Lola?
Take out Etherington and bring in Yaya or Silva if you have cash.
Bench Hangeland or Dempsey
Already done Nani -> Silva
Is it worth taking a 4 point hit for Young -> Kuyt?
Keeping in mind future fixtures as well...
but last 2 gw are arsenal and man u i think for villa
Who to sub?
Mingolet Foster
Walker Flanagan Hangerland Jagielka Luiz
VDV Jarvis Kuyt(C?) Young Silva
Suarez VP Zamora
i thought that but arnt spurs more likley to score than sunderland
Mignolet
Luiz, Huth, Carr
Lampard, VDV, Silva(C), Dempsey, Adam
RVP, Rooney
(Walker, Simpson, Gyan) .7 in bank
did nani->silva. is there a transfer worth -4 for me to make?
🙁
Crazy to captain svuraz? Purely on stats and lv form. Need to catch 30 points on mini league leader. He has carrol but expect him to be on bench? He is also missing van persie - safer choice?
szcz and carr
A.Young or Dempsey ---> Silva or Yaya?
What do people think?
Wouldn't mind getting some cash to bring in Lescott next week...
Bearing in mind City DGW next week, which combo do people prefer for this week:
Kuyt & YaYa
or
Silva & YaYa
silva & yaya - i signed them this week 😀
Any one thinking of making Rooney captain?
if i had him yes. he's usually good for a dive against arsenal
2nd one was a clear pen how can u even say that he was diving 😕
i'm not biting. even stevie wonder's man utd supporting twin knows that's a dive. yes i am slightly embarrassed i had to answer here
I'm counting this as a bite if you choose to link his *one* dive vs arsenal vs all the wonder goals he has scored against them.
😆 i love you because you're genuinely not joking.
Will you get rid of that avatar - it's a gross insult to all apples, not just bonkers!!! 😡
🙂
firstly i'm not as arsenal fan
secondly i'm not french
thirdly when has this ever been about rooney's goals or ability? bizarre, perhaps a sign of desperation due to having to defend the un-defendable.
fourthly i think the second one is a penalty, doesn't mean it's not a dive, if he doesn't dive almunia will bring him down anyway.
fifthly, some things are debateable, rooney going down before he gets to almunia isn't, it's a fact staring you in the face. so either you're a) a bit blind b) a moron c) biased beyond repair. take c it's the better option in this case
Wowzers, i think i just caught moby dick!
in all seriousness ab i was just questioning your initial decision to mention the infrequent rooney dives vs arsenal compared to the frequent moments of wonderful football in relation to his points potential as ©. A fair comment.
(The second one still isn't a dive though).
the fact that i would captain rooney if i had him (my initial post) is self explanatory. the dive comment wasn't even a fish just stating a fact, well seemingly not a fact as it appears that falling over nothing is not considered a dive. if rooney can prove he weighs < 5 grams and the power of the blade of grass and the wind combined hacked him down then fair enough, i'm sorry wayne
it was a penalty and a dive. what came first? the chicken the egg the dive
you gotta agree though, the first one was a thing of art....what timing! 😀
he wins the pen both times so i applaud him.
maybe it's a north london thing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cmpozcslIA&feature=related lol at the description, nothing like youtube anger
Never really expected him to be such a serial diver, but after that dive against Arsenal he may have just developed a penchant for diving seeing that even he could fool someone!
On a different note is this RBJ or someone else? really confusing with all the fakes hanging around.
Need a little lineup advice. Do I have this right? I feel I need to get Adam in there somehow.
Foster (Begovic)
R. Johnson, Luiz, Walker (Colemen, Djourou)
Nani, Meireles, Silva, Malouda (Adam)
RVP, Bent, Suarez (C)
Probably right. Bit of a pickle there. Could gamble on Meireles not getting anything, but I wouldn't want to bench any of the others.
