We delve into the data once again this evening and assess some of the standout statistics over the weekend gone by. Arsenal’s fit-again midfielder, Chelsea’s Brazilian schemer, Sunderland, Swansea and West Ham’s frontmen, Palace’s defence and Everton’s raiding right-back are amongst our main topics this time around:
Expensive bench. No need for good bench this late. jus focus on your starting 11.
Boruc -> Davis
Coleman -> Chester and play Cahill instead
Barkley -> Amalfitano
Shez -> Mannone
Eriksen over Lallana but that's a preference.
Ade can be Aguero with those savings.Open Controls
I agree, you have quite a good amount of.cash to work with if you spend it in the right areas
Open Controls
Please help RMT!! i am really tight in my minileague and need some advise!!
mannone (dead)
azp zabaleta baines olsson ward
mata aj nasri salah llalana
lukaku dzeko suarez
i have around 3.5 ITB 0FT (as i did mirallas to mata)
Question 1
Play salah or llalana??
Question 2
a. lukaku --> rooney? -4
b. llalana --> ramsey? -4
c. dzeko --> aguero (but i will need another transfer to fund extra mil... maybe option b) -8Open Controls
b+c sounds like a plan, any h2h you have to care about? otherwise I'd go for -8
Open Controls
1. Lallana
2. b for -4 can't be overlooked this week imo (and i'm a spurs fan)
c is likely to be profitable than a, I would probably do Luk > Aguero if that gives the 1M needed and save the 4 pointsOpen Controls
Has anyone else made a second account on here, just so they can +1 all their own comments?

Yohan Cabaye has now done the treble with PSG. *sigh*
Open ControlsBy hardly.kicking a ball! And people.said.he wasn't going.there for the money... 😉
Open Controls
Come on. Of course he also gets nice money, of course that's a factor, but of course he wasn't going there just for money. He plays less than he must have expected, that's for sure.
Open ControlsHe's played a bit more than I thought actually, I hold no grudges, can't blame him at all for leaving really 🙁
Open ControlsAnd anyway, since a January move, he has started 6 and come from bench in 9 matches. That's not as if he hadn't played. And has played pretty well too, imo. Have been watching PSG a lot this Spring and have been very unhappy with Verratti starting constantly despite being a huge liability. Well, recently Verratti has played significantly less, in fact not even appeared in a league match since March, so maybe Blanc isn't so conservative after all.
Open Controls
What treble?
Open Controls
+1
Open Controls
Treble?
Open ControlsSorry, not all with PSG - he's done the double there and won the other French cup with Lille before he signed for Newcastle. Confusion reigns! (But only in my head)
Open ControlsPSG hasn't actually yet won the league, you know?
Open ControlsOh Lord. I'm tempted to delete this whole sorry thread - I need coffee, sleep, education and a new identity.
Open Controls
Mooooooooorning!
So. Man United defender of choice? I'm still leaning towards Jones.Open ControlsWhat should I do with Silva?
Mannone (CAR)
Cahill (liv) Davies (ful) Coleman (sou)
Ramsey (NEW) Silva (cpa)* Eriksen (stk) Sterling (CHE)
Suárez (CHE) Rooney (NOR) Agüero (cpa)
Sub: Marshall (sun) Snodgrass (mun) Dann (MCY) Collins (wba)*
0FT 0.0ITBOpen ControlsI'd wait for Friday. If he's ruled out, take a hit for Nasri.
Open Controls
you think there is a chance he might still play?
Open Controls
Can't see Silva playing - early prognosis 2-3 weeks.
Even if they patched him up, he'd never play both games GW37, so getting Nasri in now would effectively give you another DGW player.
Obviously, wait as late as poss on the transfer - you'd feel daft if Nasri took a knock in trainingOpen Controls
what do you reckon people
bring in sterling to cover all my nearest rivals or bring in mata to hopefully take advantage of the whupping the canaries will get.we know how giggs likes to get one over on the birdsOpen ControlsMata for me.
Open ControlsMata hands down if your rival has sterling
Open ControlsIf youre leading just take Sterling to minimize the gap.
Open ControlsI'd prefer Mata, better fixtures & DGW - you can always block with Sterling in the last GW
Open Controls
Everyone forgotten what a flat track bully Özil was at the start of the season?
Open ControlsNo, I just remember the frustration 😉
Open ControlsIf he had a dgw coming up, I'd seriously consider him. But too expensive with Ramsey being back.
Open ControlsIf they had a DGW I'd have Ramsey & Podolski straight in.
Ozil would make a good diff but depends on your league positionOpen Controls
TV is pretty low so I'd appreciate any thoughts on the following DGW team:
Mannone
Rosenior Zabaleta Ivanovic
Ramsey Mata Nasri Amalfitano
Rooney Suarez Aguero(C)
Adrian Azpi Ward Livermore
My only sensible way of getting Aguero in (without losing Suarez) is to get a DEF and MID for a total of 8.6m
Is Rosenior and Amalfitano the best combo?
Alternatively I could get Smalling and a 4.0 mid and play 4-3-3 Azpi against Norwich?Open Controls- Open Controls
Given cech and Terry are out I'd just lose ivanovic, makes it easier
Open Controls
With Terry out & Bertrand on loan, has Mourinho really got enough defenders to rest both Azpi & Ivan this weekend?
I only have those two, Baines & Olsson as active defenders and don’t particularly fancy spending another 4 points having already taken one hit this weekendOpen ControlsSounds like you need a better bench mate 😉
Open Controls
Mannone
Baines Zabaleta Alonso
Mata Nasri Eriksen AJ
Suarez Aguero Rooney
(Speroni, Chester, Mutch, Ward)
No Ramsey but you can't have em all.Open ControlsI like it.but not a fan of a mackems double.up at all
Open Controls
Haven't done one of these for a while, but it's St George's Day, so why not? Rate my template:
Mannone
Azpi / Coleman / Demichelis
Eriksen / Gerrard / Mata / Ramsey
Suarez / Aguero / Rooney
Subs: Davis / Ward / Jedinak / Demel
Need to climb 6K for a top 10K finish.Open Controls
Is there any player in your team which u have since GW1?
I had Terry till GW33.Open Controls
Boruc
Coleman || M.Turner || K.Touré
Lampard || Hazard(C) || Coutinho || Walcott
Lukaku || Benteke || Soldado
Not a single one is left..Open ControlsForgot the bench:
Marshall || Kim || Burner || YangaMbiwaOpen ControlsFor a second I thought that's your current team and was truly shocked.
Open Controlshttp://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/04/22/the-big-numbers-gameweek-35-2/?hc_page=24#hc_comment_7213143 😉
Mad how different the team looks, Kim was a complete fail, I blame this site for that one 😀Open Controls
Would you ditch Lukaku for Rooney for a hit? Considering to stick with Luk now and do it for free next week.
Open Controls
I have what I assume will be a very common dilemma this week...
Lukaku > Rooney (-4)
Possibly captain Rooney.
What do we think?Open ControlsDid it last night, probably won't (c) though
Open ControlsThing is, even if I leave it till next week it would still be for a hit as I will want to get another City player with Silva gone for Ramsey.
Who are you captaining? Suarez?Open ControlsYep, probably gonna take a hit next week as well, feels good to take one now instead of 8/12 next week, heh. Ramsey/Suarez, no clue yet! Rooney is also an option.
Open Controls
Who you going for? Suarez with all the Chelsea injuries + Mourinho saying he'll rest players for the semi?
Open ControlsSuarez is a great option, so is Ramsey! Haven't decided yet. What's your thoughts D?
Open Controls
I'd.do it
Open ControlsI've already done it this week for a hit. Will bring in another City player next week. Rooney has the plum fixture this week, might as well go for it.
Open Controls
Points predictions for a couple of defenders this week:
Azpi: 0-2 points
Koscielny: 6-8 points
A hit for Azpi > Kosc breaks even at worst, right? This line of reasoning is why I'm no good at this game 😆Open ControlsSimilar to the Everton defender to Chelsea defender for a hit conundrum last week? What could possibly go wrong!?
Open Controlsisn't rule number one no hits for defenders?
Open ControlsI thought that was the rule number two?
Open ControlsI think it's a less iron-clad rule this season with the extra BAPs for certain defenders. But yeah, it rarely works out. Cost me 18 points one time when I did it last season 😯
Open ControlsI don't like banking on a CS. Any team can score a goal against anyone
Open Controls
Gits to me depend on who the other players you are bringing in
For.example, bringing.in Kos.and say Amalfitano, then no. But if.it's someone like Ramsey then obviously yesOpen ControlsIt isn't to fund any other transfer. It's just to get an Arsenal defender for their last three over a Chelsea defender for theirs. It won't happen without a hit because I only have two FTs left for the season and they're both spoken for 🙂
I won't do it, BTW. I was just illustrating a line of reasoning I tend to use and why I rarely do well at FPL 😉Open Controls
My defense is Baines Azp Ward Dann Chester
A) Baines -> Jones/Evans (-4)
B) Ward -> Evans (-4)
C) Azp -> Jones/Evans (-4)
D) Play Baines Azp Chester and hope for the best, terrible defense this GW.Open ControlsC for Jones
Open Controls
same problem here - C) probably.
You haven't considered koscielny?Open ControlsYeah, but in the end I'd take the extra fixture any day and it's easier to justify the hit.
Open Controls
D.
-Baines can easily get goal/assist/Cleansheet
-Liverpool can't score much against Chelsea. I guess 0-0.
-Ward has Assist potential.
-Why take hits for a fragile United defense?Open ControlsI can see Norwich score. My defense is Baines - Coleman - Azpi, and I'm not expecting much. A Utd defender worth a hit this GW?
Open ControlsMy thought process is I'm likely to take a hit for him next GW for the double anyways, so better to get one more good home fixture, but IF I don't get any more injuries I might get away without hits next GW... might.
Open Controls
And who'll be rested by Mourinho? Azpi maybe, he has played more or less every minute - what a machine!
Open Controls

Silva > Yaya for a hit if fit? Then Chester > Smalling for the DGW and possibly Gazzaniga > Schwarzer the following week, giving me:
