We analyse the numbers from Saturday and Sunday’s matches as Fantasy managers assess their options ahead of the double Gameweek. United’s misfiring Dutchman, Hull’s pair of strikers, a couple of Goodison Belgians, Cardiff’s new Spanish centre-half and Tottenham’s toils up top are all on our radar in the first of this week’s members articles:

    Big Dillema... What to do with RVP?!?!!?

    1. Take out for sturidge for a hit...

    2. Have faith for at least 1-2 more week and wait for aguero to be fit and swap for aguero...

    Looking for some UCL advice...

    Had the (c) on Raul Garcia (9pts = 18), but still have Haz, Ronaldo, and RVP to play.

    Worth the risk of switching to either?

    Madrid don't have much to play for, but both Chelsea and United will have to score some goals...

        Yes, but with 6 away goals last time do you think Madrid will be pushing for goals?

        I guess I could take the chance of Ronaldo and if he blanks switch to RVP for Wednesday's game...

    Need some advice on my DGW Team:

    Mannone*
    Coleman* | Ivan | Olsson
    Mata* | Yaya* | Lallana | Hazard
    Suarez(c)* | Sturridge* | Lukaku*

    Bench: Boruc, Ward, Bruce, Noone, 0.8m in bank

    0 FT left.

    I only have 7 DGW players as it stands, but I do want to get rid of Mata.

    Should I:

    A) Mata -> Gerrard for -4? This leaves me with 7 DGW still, but potentially higher points return.
    B) Lallana -> Nolan for -4? Will give me 8 DGW players.
    C) Lallana -> Nolan and Mata -> Gerrard for -8? Will give me 8 DGW players with high points return potential
    D) Something else, swap one of my defenders for a DGW defender for -4?

    Baines, Coleman, Williamson, Chester
    Yaya, Silva, Gerrard
    Suarez, Sturridge, Lukaku

    Gazzaniga, Terry, Ki, Delph

    Worth switching Baines/Delph -> Bardsley/Dann & Mirallas?

      Good team, although there might be too much money invested in the defence and not enough in a 4th/5th midfielder. Generally I don't like having two midfielders less than 5m but it could work out for you. What's your TV?

        Cheers - yeah I'm not normally a fan of 2 cheapies in midfield either - would likely mean shifting between a 4-3-3 and a 3-4-3 from week to week.

        TV is around 108m, so not great.

          could you afford something like gerrard > nasri and then get baines and sterling? just throwing ideas out here πŸ˜€

          I think not C....so torn between A and B. if you think Baines will get among the attacking points, then go him. but it seems to me like his attacking returns have been a bit diminished this year so maybe Distin and AJ is the better option

    anyone looking at McCarthy for a cheap DGW midfielder... his game time looks good. played every nminute of the last 8 averaging about 2.2 pts per game... consistently mid teens EA PPI over these fixtures...

      Why would you have doubts about captaincy. Differentials are only good as part of team no Captain punts for me.

              You're probably going to nick this one imo. I'll only be going in with 7 DGWers; you'll probably have 9 or 10 correct? Honestly can't be arsed to add any more.

              Might have to captain someone crazy to get over that hump. Haha

              Therefore, Mertesacker (C)

                9-10 aye. But i believe in quality over quantity.
                Mert (C) wow..I am going to assume you are just pulling my leg.

                  Of course I'm kidding.

                  Suarez C, also considering Rooney or Yaya as alternatives.

                  Really thought that Rooney and Lukaku would do some damage this past weekend. That was my one solid shot of gaining some major pointage over you.

                  In the end, we both captain failed. πŸ˜†

                    I had lost all hope when Chelsea conceded! But then Roone captain fail gave me hope only to be disappointed with Mert bringing you the points. It was bloody close.
