We delve into the previous two Gameweeks’ data this afternoon after the quick-fire schedule saw a couple of rounds of fixtures take place over the last six days. Southampton and Leicester’s wide men with an eye for goal, Liverpool’s raiding wing-back and Burnley’s in-form striker are amongst today’s candidates, whilst we also asses the lack of impact from a Palace winger and the Saints’ toiling Italian.
CWC Fantasy league codes anyone?

Here's an excel doc showing the fixtures up to the first "unlimited transfers break". https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18GZ9ZXpMNiXNrsralMrPjX9TmFWgJxdpcDivWRNOwRE/edit#gid=806071520
Miserable - sums it up nicely
I bet you Giggs thinks the same
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers snapped at the Vatican on scouting trip
The Anfield boss did not attend a live game as neither Serie A giants Lazio or Roma played but Sportsmail understands he flew out to do some groundwork on trying to sign Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic.
He is signing the Pope, he is really impressed with his conversion rate.
Anyone else thinking of bringing in Yaya this week?
How much is he?
Need to get rid of Adm10.7
Ozil an option too, but I already have Sanchez and Walcott so a bit too much Arsenal...
A bit tempted but I have Silva and Kun - really hoping to save the transfer if nothing required. See how and where Yaya slots back in first too...
Yeah an overkill if so. I already have Sanchez and Wally so not too keen on Ozil.
Your Arsenal is my City 🙂
Aye. 🙂
David Villa on loan to Man City, Bony wagon dead 😉

Is that true?
Nope, just paying a visit to the ground I believe
no ffs.
It's only as unlikely as Lampard...Who would have seen that one coming?
Sign him up
If Phil Jones is fit would you still shift him for Alder?
Definitely.
He's not on set piece anymore.Aye.
even with Pool in town this week?
Well if you have other defenders who have decent fixtures then I guess you should wait. Can't see the game being high scoring though.
well my other defenders are
Kos (cpl) Wolly (avl) Naughton (MNU) Lescott (sun)
If/when Baines drops, he'll be 0.1 lower than when I bought him. Also injured and after next game has horrible fixtures.
However, have Wisdom to deal with.
Which one merits the transfer?Wisdom imo. Everton are getting tighter - looked solid v Chelsea and that is as good a test as any. If Baines adds cleanies to his usual assists and odd pen he may get back on some radars...
Cheers. He's a money pit a bit, but at least he's playing, and carrying Kane, Hazard and Terry into the blank, I can't carry any other passengers.
I have no idea about picks for the CWC or cricket in general..If I play is there a way of winging it through auto completes and the like...or even any stats pages ?
Auto-complete is available 😉
I have no knowledge of Cricket, but have joined a prediction league.
Man of match shouts for the first two matches?Brendon McCullum
David WarnerMalinga and Clarke
Clarke not available
😡
Didnt he play recentlyHe played vs Uae,but won't play vs England!
Cheers guys
anyone else keeping Wisdom for one more week , to make sure that his replacement is 100% fit to play for gw27 ?
Roses are blue
Violets are red

best stoke defender out of?
A) Muniesa
B) wilson
C) wolly
i personally can see wilson starting at 4.3 could be key...

Where's the data from mate? Been looking for distance covered statistics for most players for a while
Data courtesy of the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index, Official Player Ranking Index of the Premier League.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreaciated. Only a couple of points between me and my rival:
Krul - Pantilimon
Clyne - Ivanovic - Naughton - Wisdom - Vergini
Cazorla - Mane - Hazard - Silva - Marney
Giroud - Kane - Agüero
Have two FTs.
Anything itb?
bit early to be making transfers. lot could happen in the next week.
ahh, FA cup. This is what happens when you have a long week...
cheers
Marney and wisdom need to go IMO
Obviously Marney needs dealing with asap with one of those FTs - you will need a full squad for the DGWs coming ...
Best 4.5 defender? Already have PVA and Bellerin
Naughton or Wollschied
Wolly or Naughty
naughton and dawson
worth doubling up on bellerin and kosc?
thanksSchlupp punt?
fixtures. and no.
What changes would you suggest for this messy team?
Pants
Clyne / Fonte / PVA
Haz / ADM / Sanchez* / Caz
Kane / Kun / Defoe
(Krul / Wisdom* / Wasi* / Marney*)
1 FT & 3m itbreplace Wisdom/Wasi
with whom?
worth doubling up on bellerin and kosc?
thanksI think Bellerin is enough. Save the money for the DGW.
sorry got kos... thinking bellerin in for baird...
Rest of defense?
naughton, pva, baird, kosc, jones.
want jones out for toby and will get rid of kos probably for chels defender in the double... but rotation risk defenders have been frustrating me recently. was thinking bruce? but rotation risk...
thanksGo for Toby, I think a Saints defender is essential.
ye i agree, but who would be your cheap replacement for baird, thinking bellerin if getting rid of kos soon. got 4.4...
thanksYes good transfer.
Keep an eye on Haidara, Naughton or Dawson(wba)ok thanks, ye going to probably bring haidara in 27 if starts 26. will do toby and wait for now...
thanks
I'm not a double def man - so a no from me...
ok thanks
Defoe or Giroud to sell for Kane?
you don't own Kane. oh dear. you've missed out big time.
you too obviously
eh? i've had Kane since the 2-1 home win v Burnley. I WIN.
I have Walters
erm so?
So just answer my question
nah it's a stupid question.
There are no stupid questions you know, only stupid answers
Anyone looking to join in with the Telegraph Fantasy Champions League game. It's free to play and anyone welcome to join - just for fun.....we have a league of 3 atm.....
League name .....kenstives
League pin 8085522Milner nailed on?
no
Best 4.4 defender?
want to get rid of baird Already have PVA and naughton...
thinking dawson and just short for wolly.
thanks
Bellerin
ye tempted by that, but worried chambers may get his spot back... also have kosc, but getting rid for terry i dgw...
thanks
Does Tiote's injury mean that Ameobi might start now? He's somehow my 5th mid.
would you play double Soton def against Pool (Fonte & CLyne)?
lack of options at the back with other def being PVA, Wasi* & Wisdom*yeah they could easily get a cs
Just hit the auto complete button on CWC but I've no clue of it's any good or not...Anybody willing to share a template...?...Promise I won't win it...
You need the top all rounders plus the best two bowlers.
Wicketkeeper(s) must be ace batsmen.
A.B de Villiers.That's a start...I have no clue who anybody is but I'm willing to learn...I just need a way in with a half decent template. I'll pick it up as the tournie progresses.
Is not really a set template like fpl. You can think of having 3-4 players playing per match at best. So try using the 42 transfers wisely to get 1-2 good players per match.
Oh that's good...
Decent template to start off would be: 4 NZ 1SL, 3 Aus 3 South Africa as they all play first
An example team could be: Anderson, Boult, Williamson, Southee, Dilshan, Warner, Smith, Johnson, Philander, De Kock, Amla
Decent English picks include: Bell, Finn, Ali and Anderson. Buttler if needing a wicket keeperBrilliant...Thanks Demi...I'll put that in and then read up a bit in the coming days and try to learn a bit. As long as I have a fantasy interest in it and a starting point I'll just wing it..for good or bad. It should be fun.
No worries Wakey. A bit hard to keep track off with the match timings though, and need to change captain(power player) after each match. I'll doubtless forget to do some. But it's only a bit of fun really.. the first match starts at 10pm tonight, England play australia at 3:30 in the morning
Could think of sangakara too... Btw you have the choice of 42 transfers in the group stage. Make good use of it.
Who does he play for...and what about English players ?..do we have any good picks ?
which website are you doing the cricket on?
thanks
Which transfer would you do this week ? (thinking of b)
a) Wisdom > Colo/Haidara/Wolly/Naughton
b) Caz > Ozil
Option (a) :
pros - Maintain TV
cons - if it's so unlucky that Wisdom's replacement is in doubt to play fr gw 27 it becomes a waste transfer (not gonna play him this week anyway)
Option (b) :
pros - exciting move , sure about who's fit to replace Wisdom the week after
cons - tv loss for sureSo last Valentine's Day I gave my ex-gf some flowers and a really nice poem
"Roses are Red"
"Violets are Blue"
"These Flowers are dead"
"and you are to me too"
Can't understand why she dumped me tbh
Rate my Cricket team!
Warner
Williamson
Taylor
Root
Steve Smith
Maxwell
Grant Elliott
Steyn
Malinga
Boult
getting johnson in after first game and amla for the Zimbabwe gameye i like it, someone did a spread sheet, will have a look to see if i can find it...
Malinga might not be in the best of form.
also Steyn is possibly injured and they might not risk him against Zimbabwe
Seeing a lot about people quitting FF this week.... Thing is, how long do you really think it would be before you started to regret that decision? I know I'd be back into it for the next gameweek...
Wowzers. Nice! Adrián's red card OVERTURNED! 😀
Jaaskelainen 🙁
Was never going to be an option - would serve his ban in the cup match.
hmm..good for WH but didn't he prevent a goal scoring chance ?
No. He was fouled, as we protested at the time.
I see , didn't watch closely
Good for the team but bad for jussi.
Was never gonna play the league, though. 🙂
Yeah but gotta support the last finn in the prem. And he was excellent a couple years ago.
not surprised. it was a foul on him.
Anyone any thoughts on how best to plan for gameweek 27 & 28, with 2 FT 0.7 in the bank and wildcard still available.
Foster Hamer
Terry Clyne PVA Hutton Wisdom
Hazard Sanchez Walcott Silva Boyd
Aguero Giroud Kane
I was thinking along the lines of:
Wisdom to Haidera for GW 26
Terry and Giroud to Wollscheid and Strurridge for GW 27
And wildcard for GW 28, getting Terry, Costa, Erikson and a spurs def. (assuming Chelsea and Spurs have a double and Costa doesnt pick up yellow cards)
Anything else standing out?ye i like, no point doing haidara move as against city as you may as well as see if he is nailed on...
I have to make a transfer this week or else i lose it, cant afford sturridge and want terry to play against burnely
ah fair enough, why not go naughton...
