We delve into the data from the previous Gameweek and beyond in our assessment of the main midweek protagonists. Tottenham’s clinical marksman, Liverpool’s faltering frontman and a pair of Villains come under analysis this evening, as do United’s off-form forward, the Swans’ Spanish creator and Newcastle’s shooting displays, with the Magpies now failing to score in each of the last four:
Good morning, f**kers.
Open ControlsThoughts on my bet for today
Birmingham - Huddersfield DRAW
Port Vale to beat Shrewsbury
Wolves to beat Notts County
Burnley to beat Bournemouth
30/1 shot if it comes off 🙂Open ControlsOh shit!! Has anyone seen House of Cards season 2 premiere? Huge surprise waiting for you!!!

Have people been keeping up with The Walking Dead? If so what did you think of the latest episode that was out on monday? And what do you think the outcome of the story will be?
Open ControlsI think Beth and Sasha will die this episode
Open ControlsCould see Sasha going as she wasn't even a good character and brought nothing to the group then again they could kill of anyone
Open Controls
Bit of a slow start but it was expected after they killed off half the cast.

I have to get rid of one if these mids
A. Cazorla Sunderland (H) then Stoke (A)
B. Yaya Stoke (H) then blank
C. Mata Palace (A) then blank
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. ThanksOpen ControlsDon't forget Yaya & Mata have blank then a later DGW.

Best series you have ever seen?
Mine probably lost or prison break. Stopped watching them after that.Open ControlsThe West Wing, The Wire and Arrested Development.
Open ControlsI think the scale and production value of Game of Thrones will be hard to beat.
I always enjoyed Fringe.Open ControlsThe Wire
Open ControlsGame of Thrones, hands down.
House of Cards, Breaking Bad and The Wire after that.Open ControlsBand of Brothers
Open ControlsAll very modern lads ,
M*A*S*H and the likes of Blake's 7 were awesome in their day long before technology " lost " it's virginity.Open ControlsGood point well made.
My Mum & Dad used to religiously watch them 😉
Coming of age for me was being allowed to watch Star Trek while having tea on a tray.... 🙂Open ControlsI am tho stuck in a time warp , according to my wife !
I still remember Martin Buchan as an outstanding center half for Utd !
😉Open Controls...I remember the Greenhoffs too....and Gordon McQueen.
Not fondly though - I'm afraid I was shouting for Toshack & co 😉
You might remember Ripping Yarns too?!!Open Controls
The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and The L Word.
Open ControlsThe preferences on this site are so different from what I'm used to. Series like Dexter usually being loved by every man and his horse. And Breaking Bad always on top.
Six Feet Under followed by The Wire followed by the first season of Twin Peaks followed by the first season of Deadwood for me.
And maybe True Detective.Open ControlsOh I forgot about Six Feet Under - the first series was as good as anything. Did go slightly downhill after that but still great show.
Open Controls
Prison Break and Lost fell victim to their own popularity and were forced to continue long after they should have.
I'm more of a comedy man than drama anyways.
Fawlty Towers, Father Ted, Blackadder. All classics. Dont think there's a single bad episode in the bunch.

As a U.S. cat, I'm in full Valentine's mode (dinner is cooking for wifey, a quick post no big deal). Excited to finally see how these FA Cup matches pan out, so I can finally stategize my 2 FTs.
And to the Liverpool fans who posted earlier that their second string could easily draw with Arsenal, I hope you're tripled up on Arsenal for GW29, and I'd like to see your team sheets, otherwise you're little rats who have grown bold late season. As an Arsenal fan, I've never crowed about Arsenal this season, but the nonsense since last weekend is annoying. Wonder where you were after W. Brom. Or Hull.
Rant over. (temporarily)Open ControlsArsenal / Liverpool fans - they're all the same to me.
Open ControlsThat's deeply informative.
Open ControlsAs informative as calling liverpool fans little rats, I'd get back to cooking the dinner
Open ControlsI was calling particular ones little rats, not all. I have many friends who are Pool fans. Honestly, I don't want to fight this.
I eat rats. I'm a disgusting person.Open Controls
You're tarring us all with the same brush mate, don't listen to trolls, if you hadn't you clearly wouldn't be this bugged about it.
Open ControlsI apologize, I definitely got irritated. The thing is, I love Arsenal, I hate several teams, but I actually like Liverpool. The comments I read irritated me. I need to chill. Thanks for the reality check.
Open ControlsI noticed you posted earlier, some of the 'Pool fans around here are just trying to capitalise on a sudden surge from the club they love dearly, swings and roundabouts I suppose, really it's a surprise they aren't off United bashing. Good luck to you and your club for the rest of the season. 😉
Open ControlsCheers.

Pool second string is torrid
Open ControlsI don't think there is an actual full second string.

Every team has it's section of morons. ever look at the comment section on a torrent of a game. Make you weep for the human race. Luckily enough FFS seems to have very few of their ilk. Try and ignore them, and if you can't put them down with dignity and stay classy for your team 😀
Open ControlsThanks, man. Hopefully I haven't let my own team down with my temper. Kind words like these will stave off weeping for the human race a few days longer. Cheers.

Is there any way to measure highest average final ranking over the course of FPL seasons players have been part of? As in a "total score"? Guess not.
Open ControlsNot sure if you're talking about players on here? If so see HOF (Hall of Fame) on menu at top of page.

Is this a worthwhile transfer?
Distin, Terry -> Coleman, Azpi
Reasoning:
- Distin has been a constant disappointment
- Terry is hurt and Azpi is gaining equivalent points and not old 😛
- Coleman will explode in price when he gets going
Factors:
- Having 2 FT with the upcoming stretch of blanks; could be the equivalent of gold
- Defence transfers are always lame
- My team is in rough shape; as Mutch and Chester are also sidelinedOpen ControlsYou ideally want 11 out each week & good DGW cover for GW31.
Team would help & waiting for all these games to be played.
Chester is no use at all. Surprised anyone kept him with the Jan WC.Open ControlsHe got hurt after my wildcard. There was no use selling the player last on the bench and there was no real value to be lost.
I'm definitely waiting after the games are played; but wanted some early thoughts.Open ControlsFair enough about Chester. You must be happy with your attacking 7.

Looking for a bit of advice/inspiration.
My back line currently consists of:
Ivanovic, Kompany, Coleman, Mert and Ward.
I am considering upgrading JRod->Ade but I have to down grade one of the expensive backs to fund it. Which one would you sacrifice?Open ControlsMertesacker, by a fair margin. But not sure I would even do that transfer now. Probably a good idea to downgrade long term though.
Open ControlsSunderland (H)
Stoke (A)
Swansea (H)
Would hardly say they're fixtures worth binning him forOpen ControlsI agree, but would you rather bin any of the others? I would not. Arsenal look like they are - in classical fashion - losing form towards the end of the season. I have more faith in Kompany, though he'd be next on the list.
Open Controls
They've all got good short term fixtures, but Arsenals will get tougher. Potentially downgrade a mid though as that's a strong back line
Open ControlsThanks guys, I was leaning towards Mertesacker, but I am in no rush. I could down grade my mids but I feel I have a nice solid unit at the moment with:
Haz, Lallana, Silva, Gerard and JWPOpen ControlsYou would recommend keeping the backline that strong?
Open ControlsDon't downgrade a mid as you don't want to go 4-3-3. Your four mids are quality. If city has a double blank things will need to be reassessed obviously but as it stands if you want to get Ade a defender downgrade seems to be the way to go.
As such, if City are due a double blank downgrade Kompany. If they are not then I would think downgrading Mert would be preferable. A good problem to have mate, your team looks solid.Open Controls
now this is DZ 😯
Open ControlsWow three hot topics this week 😎
Open ControlsChaps. Looking at a draft league trade. From these 3, who would you say has the most potential for points...
A) Januzaj
B) Matic
C) Eriksen
Cheers lads.Open ControlsEriksen if his place was nailed down.
Open ControlsLost a lot of faith in my draft team mate. I should have won that head to head if it wasn't for the weather. Eriksen can't hold down a place, Suarez not scoring, Ozil off the boil. Grr...
Open Controls
As sad as it is, I think Matic. He will be due a 2 pointer each game while you can't say the same about the other two you mentioned. Even though he is a CDM, I would rather risk him getting some cheeky assist or a goal from distance or something with guaranteed minutes on the pitch while the other two have so many question marks surrounding their respective pitch time.
Janu clearly relegated to the bench now and needs an injury to someone in front of him to regain his minutes. Spurs have so many capable midfield options as they continue to get healthier threatening Eriksen's spot. He was complete crap against Everton and Sherwood clearly took notice as he dropped him for the Newcastle game and they subsequently hung 4 on them. He has an uphill battle to regain his starting position at this point it seems.Open ControlsNice insight Walsh, thanks. Do you think Eriksen was just given a boot up the bum though? Generally, he is a quality player and has been decent.
Open ControlsI think it is hard to say at this point.
AVB bought him so Sherwood really has nothing to gain to force him to work out unless he genuinely feels he is their best option. Their mids are getting healthier and we can't be too sure right now who Sherwood views as his first choice.
Eriksen clearly has some quality about him but seems optimal for our game if he is playing in the #10 role which is far from certain and when he is not in that position he seems to go invisible for stretches of the game by my eye. I'd either be a nervous owner right now or not even considering him if I didn't already own him from an FPL standpoint.Open Controls

he even has lower score unused subs than mine but got more points off the bench. You need to be lucky to join top 5kOpen Controls
Hey guy. So I know it's never wise to take a hit for a defender but is Ivanovic worth -4. In first in my league but D line got me 0 points last week.
Currently: gabbidon brown Monreal clyne bradsleyOpen ControlsHe is a specialist in failure. I'm not,
Mourinho on WengerOpen ControlsI hope Everton have a match in Gw29. Them fixtures after the Chelsea game look tasty
Open Controlsthey should beat Swansea so blank is more likely
Open ControlsWell I hope Everton have an off day. This round of FA cup fixtures are crucial. I am counting on the Gary Monk effect
Open Controls
So, let's hope the new manager bring Swansea to another round of FA Cup.
Open Controls
Which are the players you are going to bench during the blank rather than sell them?
I am definitely benching Hazard and most probably SAS
I dont want to lose money on hazard as well as suarez and buy them back for more moneyOpen ControlsBench Suarez, Hazard and somebody else. I'd do Studge > Rvp. Dgw coming up. Not concerned at all, with value. No issues in buying back Studge for more after the Dgw
