Monitor – Gareth Bale

With three goals and an assist in his last two matches, Fantasy managers have been put on high alert to Gareth Bale’s renewed potential, having witnessed him frustrate for much of last season. Explosive on the European stage, Bale often failed to produce in the Premier League on a consistent basis. This term, however, there’s a growing feeling that Bale may have developed further as an attacking prospect.

In our fifth members article of the week, we examine Bale’s progress in detail, assessing his minutes per event statistics to gain insight into whether he truly has grown as a Fantasy prospect who could finally emerge from the shadow of team-mate Rafael Van der Vaart.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I want to play Vorm every game but this GW.
    So, who to ditch Given for to save the price drop but just for one game?
    Or should I not bother?

    Would it be too much of a gamble to go without Silva in my WC team?

    Looking ahead his fixtures are probably the toughest they will be at any stage of the season. If we go with him through this he's a season keeper.

    Is he really "must have"? 😎

      I've gone Aguero, with VDV and Lamps in midfield.

      I really think he is. I made the mistake of taking him out during that free wildcard we had in GW2. Needless to say i transfered him straight back in again at the first opportunity! I'd sooner dump VDV from my team than Silva i think

        Did the same thing. Dumped him for yaya and no doubt i got him straight back in after lockout haha. Personally i would prefer dzeko to aguero then try upgrade a mid range midfielder to silva.

    Hows my WC team looking?
    Vorm. Ruddy
    Jones-Simpson-McAuley-Brown-Wilkinson
    Silva-VDV-Sess-Walters-Sinclair
    Rooney-RVP-Klasnic

    1.1m in bank to hopefully get in Enrique in a few weeks.

    Not too sure on Klasnic….should i get rid of Sess, and get in Bendy for Klasnic. Then who should I get in for Sess? Eagles?

    I was thinking of getting Bendtner but I dont want two Sunderland attackers, so which one of Sess and Bendtner would you get?

      Keep Sess. Bendy has done his scoring, another Suarez in the making! 😀

    Hi Guys,

    Who should I get of these:

    Ramsey, Drenthe, Walters, Arteta or Bale?

    I can afford them all and want the best return.

    Many thanks

    Bale (With VDV) and Graham (Bench) or Walters and Bendtner (One of them would be benched)

    Would you trade Bale for VDV?

      Nope - Bales record - 5 appearances against Villa and never scored or assisted
      VDV - 2 appearances and 4 goals
      Even if VDV gets half you've got to back him for something, its not like he's gone off the boil or anything just from one 2pt week, he always provides!
