Having indulged in the numbers behind the top ten individuals in Defence and Midfield, we end our series of articles for members by examining the top performers over the Christmas period amongst the forwards.
Just as Steven Gerrard dominated in the midfielders bracket over the Christmas period, Luis Suarez reigned supreme amongst the strikers. With five goals and two assists making him the most profitable forward on show, surpassing even Robin Van Persieβs FPL returns in the same window.
RMWCT
Mig (Bunn)
Azpili, Luiz, Clyne (Gibbs, Demel)
Mata (c), Fellaini, Michu, Theo (Noble)
Rvp, Suarez, Berbatov
No Bale is worrying me a bit, I wanted 4 out of Fab 5
dont like the double up on Chelsea defense. Downgarde one and get Bale

Walcott on my bench at the moment but with giroud missing he'll probably play striker the next game should I reconsider and bench someone else ??
What's wrong with Giroud? Was looking at him as a possible DGW signing
The Arsenal camp apparently ran out of snails and croissants so he has made himself 'unavailabkle' until they sort things out....
I doubt Theo will get a sniff playing upfront against City.
O'Brien out then?
Any chance he'll be back for DGW?
Is there actually any reputable source reporting that Chel$ea are about to trigger Afromans release clause? All I seem to be able to find are french sources, which are dodgy at the best of times.
Nope. It's all paper talk at the moment. Which is not much help.
Regarding all this Fellaini talk
http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/everton/transfer-talk/news/everton-hopeful-of-keeping-fellaini_63073.html
π I don't know what to think anymore. I can't see him leaving in January myself.
Likewise, I think Everton have a history with big players that leave of pretty much saying to them "Give us the rest of this season and lets see what we can do"
Replied to your def question by the way
Cheers
I don't wish the guy ill but it would solve my problem if he went into the rotation mill of Chelsea and became a fantasy irrelevance. I don't want the power 5 and he's the one I'm going without.
Well hes still a consideration of mine so sod off with your ill wishes! π
Hows my team looking?
Begovic Federici
Demel Luiz Gibbs Cameron Davies
Fellaini Michu Mata Bale Walcott
RVP Ba Ruiz
Probably a bit generic...fancy rvp for armband this week too
Anyone know when prices rises due in fpl? I don't and am treading a fine line in wild card tinkering.
It is available here:

Imagine the shake up a long-term injury to RVP or Michu would cause in this game. . .
I really hope that doesn't happen π I would be fine with it FPL-wise though.
I reckon it's time to be shifting saurez out myself.
Sturridge could get as many points imo and far cheaper
+1000. If u could get Gerrard + Sturridge it'd be better than Suarez on his own imo. Only caveat would be Sturridge might take a couple weeks to get fully firing; still, he should be in good shape for Norwich at home....
same.. but who can replace him?
Anyone like Sturridge Berbs and RVP as a strike force?
I am intending having that in about a month's time....
I'd wait and see how Sturridge plays. Would prefer Suarez or Ba personally. Could be a nice differential though.
Berba and RVP are proven assets. Sturridge should do well but I'd wait a week or two.
Sturridge will not be the new Suarez, i guarantee it π
Who to bench....
A) Cameron (CHE)
B) Clark (SOU)
C) Mertesacker (MCI)
B
In an ideal world I think Bardsley O'Shea Cuellar and Rose
SantiUnreal is best placed to comment on this
First choice back 4 is: Bardsley - Cuellar - O'Shea - Rose
But 3 of those are not expected to play this weekend. So it could be:
Bardsley - Kilgallon - Bramble - Colback this weekend according to SillyBilly(a Mackem).
Probably Bardsely Kilgallon Bramble Colback(Rose) this week.
Does anyone know who the most nailed on Reading defender is? I'm thinking Mariappa but worried that Morrison's return may affect his starts?
Bego BUNN
gibbs baines LUIZ demel MARIAPPA
mata michu bale felliani walcott
rvp ba POG
or
Bego TURNBULL
gibbs baines demel CLYNE DAVIES
mata michu bale felliani walcott
rvp ba LAMBERT
2nd one. Lambert could score big against Villa and is a good 5th sub for the future. If Cech is confirmed out, Turnbull will be nailed on. Much rather take his points and be stuck with him than be stuck with Pog.
RMWCT please?
Begovic, Mignolet
Davies, Gibbs, Shaw, Jones, Tomkins
Michu, Lennon, Pienaar, Mata, Johnson
RVP, Ba, Ruiz
Fraid so, TV of £99.9
ah, makes things difficult. I don't like no Bale Fellaini or Walcott! Although Fellaini may be off to Chelsea and I think he'd play deeper there. Maybe Ba-Berbs, Lennon-Walcott next gw? Ba could be rotated alot
Yeah I'm getting Walcott in next week somehow, probably the way you've put.
With that value, perhaps gamble and go w/o RvP. Get in Tevez and use the money to upgrade Lennon and Pienaar to 2 of Bale/Walcott/Fellaini.
Great. This article makes is impossible to drop Suarez π
And your point is?? π
Only if we were playing the last four weeks in a timewarp... historical performance does not guarantee future returns
Form.
Another benefit of not being a member π
Him and Gerrard have such a high involvement in goals it's insane. It makes needing 'coverage' from larger teams redundant.
I much prefer my table to this mumbo-jumbo! π
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/939/
Great. This makes it even more compelling. Granted, it's only for the last four weeks, but that's what form is...
Alot of you would of seen it but if you havent here is the article about the stoke mine league on fpl pretty intresting http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2259063/Stoke-City-Premier-League-fantasy-football-league.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
Yeah I love this. Also, any1 notice Bego doesn't own Bego? Probably can't deal w/ the pressure of both games lol
How many of Chelsea's next 180 minutes do you think Azpil will play?
I reckon 180 unless Rafa feels that Terry is fully match fit.
Even when fit, it'll surely be a straight swap with Cahill?
On form he should play most of it but Rafa likes to use the squad so nobody has a clue.
If I score 17 points more than the world no.1, every week, I will overtake him on GW38. Lets do this!
And your rank is still pretty good...
Makes me wonder why I bother!
Jussi
Azpe Clyne Evra
Mata Hazard Routledge Puncheon
Suarez RVP Ba
Bego Maloney Cameron Nelson
Good to go?
Who would be your choice for Arsenal DGW?
A - Wallcot + Cazorla + Cameron
B - Walcott + Podolski/Giroud + Sagna
And secons question, will Berba rise until deadline, he's on 90% now...????
Does anybody know when stokes Wilson is due back? Thinking of putting him in my WC save doin the transfer at a later date.
Manager said a 2-3 weeks like last week... but I wouldn't risk it until you get concrete news. Anything can happen in 2-3 weeks.
RVP,Dzeko,Lambert..that's my strike force right now..is it weak?
These are my options to chelseas dgw. Who's better to have just for this gw, as in wildcarding next week
A) ba and harte
B) turnbull and luiz
A. Ba came on last nite and scored within 5 minutes - if he'd been given the benefit of the doubt it'd have stood. Even if he plays only 110 minutes in the DGW he's still worth it. Still a danger Luiz could be rested for one of the games, possibly @ home
Is ba essential for the dgw? My current squad is
Begovic 3.9
Luiz A.Cole davies cameron demel
Mata Bale walcott Fellaini ramirez
Rvp suarez ruiz.
To get ba i would have to sell cole,fellaini and ruiz to gibbs noble and ba.
Thoughts?
Evenin' all! Have Mariappa in my team atm but would prefer harte, but rumours around the water cooler say he'll be dropped....? Your answers on a postcard please......
Yerrmm can't remember exactly, but read on here somewhere that he'd be dropped for Shorey or possibly someone else?! What's the deal with Gorkss, has he been dropped due to form?
So who are the three Chelsea players of choice for the weekend? Im thinking Ba, Luiz and Mata. Would you agree with this?
Does anyone have a link to the news from Sunderland that Cuellar is doubtful for the weekend or are they guessing?
11 years, 10 months agoWhich one of these is best? (neither isn't an option)
a) Cameron > Cole (-4)
b) Sterling > Puncheon (-4)
c) Sterling > Puncheon & Cameron > Luiz (-8)
