Chelsea’s rout of the Villa back four generated some impressive statistics for Rafa Benitez’s men, whilst over the way in West London, Martin Jol’s Fulham are stacking up numbers on the other end of the spectrum. We take a closer look at the team statistics involved, along with a focus on the form of David Silva, Steven Pienaar and Demba Ba as we plunder the members area for the key statistics from Gameweek 18.
? Conceded 1 against the best attack in the PL today.

Does anyone think RVP and/or Sterling will get rested for this gameweek?
Open Controls
I don't know what was up with Rooney but he looked like he could use a rest more than Van
Open Controls
They will both start, imo.
Open Controls
sterling got rested at weekend
Open Controlsand can't see fergie resting rvp v newcastle. Maybe w brom if they beat newcastle
Open Controls
Possible , they did quite well without Sterling after all
Open Controls
RVP may need a rest after that near death experience
Open Controls
on bottom of last page 🙁
Currently on Michu (c), but as ever can’t escape the feeling that this will be the GW RvP goes crazy. But Michu plays Reading, who I think will be set up differently at home v Swans than they were away at City, could be some space for Michu, who let’s face it, is basically fixture proof.
Thoughts people, who are you going with?Open Controls
Michu or monkey man bale
Open Controls
Just realised I won my cup tie comfortable, too. Yay.
Open Controls
Quick question folks, going to do Cazorla -> Bale.
Leaves me with 0.2 for one last free transfer. Gibbs -> Nastasic worth it? (no city coverage) ThanksOpen ControlsNo! Im eyeing Gibbs in next week
Open Controls
so who's the drunkest person posting tonight? hohoho
Open Controls
Anybody else getting this warning tonight?

Open Controls
Next week possibly. This is an open week in the schedule.
Open Controls
MF is currently.
Walcott | Cazorla | Silva | Puncheon | Sterling
Thinking of transferring Walcott out this week with a view to possibly getting him back in next week. What’s the best option for this GW? Likely to get a double price rise on either too?
A. Michu
B.PienarOpen Controls
Gibbs > Davies? Ye or Ne?
Open Controls
so if ruiz and diarra are back..........anyone dare captain berbs 😯
Open ControlsAlready done it.
Open ControlsIf those 2 are back then Berba becomes an option
Open Controlshow do you know if ruiz back? Thought he back for swansea game?
Open Controls
I think Ruiz back makes Berb a better option
Open ControlsIs he confirmed???
Open Controls
Have Defoe
For this Wednesday only, would you prefer
a) Bale
b) MataOpen Controls
Example of big mf team as mentioned earlier..
Bego Bunn
Morrison O'Brien Nelsen, Baines, Clark
Michu Bale Cazorla Mata Fellaini
RVP Suarez Cole
#Potential.. 😎Open Controls
err...sell Baines and get a good striker!
Open ControlsRVP and Suarez are good enough....
Open Controls
Backline needs work, for Baines and Clark you can get Gibbs and Nastasic instead. But prinicple looks good
Open ControlsIt's an example of the principle, far from cast in stone
Open Controls
Why Baines still....?
Open ControlsDefence is poor considering u have pog x
Open ControlsI don't... x
Open Controls
As long as you realise the defence is cack. We are moving into the important phase of the season where clean sheets are more regular amongst the big teams.
Open ControlsIt's an example... Silva could easily replace one of the others
Open ControlsCole ➡ Benteke and change Baines?
Open ControlsBaines ➡ Huth (or Olsson)?
Open Controls
Ok guys i hope somebody give me some advice.Im thinking of A)Dempsey -> Pienaar and B) Ba->Torres for a hit .What do you think?
Open Controls
Anyone know what Rafael's chances are of being fit for Newcastle?
Open Controlsrudd, cerny or henderson for my 3.9m keeper to not rotate with begovic? selling jaas.
Open ControlsJust got in...Mata ONE assist? ha. Taking the piss?
Open Controls
+1 unbelievable right?
Open ControlsI guess we can't complain, 6 points is 6 points. But when I saw 8-0....
Open Controls
Thankfully, it's not like Hazard got 2 goals and 6 assists, or I'd have been kicking myself!
Open Controlsthis, no one ran the gamut .....luckily
Open Controls
So here's the team for midweek:
Foster
Rafael/ Luiz/ Gallas
Puncheon/ Michu/ Mata/ Sterling
Suarez/ RVP/ Tevez
Subs: Guzan/ Walcott/ Nelsen/ WisdomOpen ControlsShould I lose any of ...
Mata, Silva, Michu, Taraabt, Sterling
RVP, Suarez, Berbs
I like my front 8, but something is telling me that it could be better. 0.4 in bank.Open Controlsits fine. i'd consider selling berbs but some nice fixtures, he'll come good i reckon
Open Controls
I've kept Berbatov throughout his barren spell (often benched) but now I'm slightly concerned that, with the easlier fixture run coming up, he could be dropped for his lazy, lacklustre efforts. Opinions?
Open Controls
Members...do Pienaar's stats do him justice ? Or has he overachieved the last 3 weeks ?
Open Controls
I'm an Everton fan and i'd say his fantasy points have followed the same pattern as his level of performance. He was crap in October and November, but he's looking really dangerous at the moment.
Open Controlscrap whhen fellani was upfront , exactly
Open Controls
He good , ended last season well too. However once Fellani started playing more forwards his production really took a dip.
So its only because Fellani not thereOpen ControlsThis doesn't make sense. Fellaini has been up front just about every game this season. Pienaar went through a bad patch but he came back into form while Fellaini was still playing up front.
Open Controls
Federici
Cameron - Davies - Clyne
Mata - Bale - Silva - Michu
RvP - Berbatov - Suarez
Jaask - Sterling, Sagna, Demel
Is my team ready for next GW?
Who to (c)? Is RvP safe from resting against Newcastle?Open Controls
People looking for a new keeper in Jan may be in luck. Sinan Bolat has been recovering from injury with us since November and apparently it's pretty much a done deal. Schwarzer has been poor this season so I wouldn't be surprised by a change. Bolat has a great goal threat too, anyone remember this? 😉
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hfm0Pk_C4rcOpen Controls
I don't know what's better, getting to 2575 or getting to 2575 with Jason Roberts on my team
Open Controls
Do ridgewell out for:
A) Enrique
B) Nastasic
C) Azpilcueta
D) Nelsen (to have the funds to do a Johnson to Bale (and have an all over budget defence except for shawX
CheersOpen ControlsBudget defense the crap outa that
Open Controls
Blue Teets,
Apparently Alex Ferguson is an authority when it comes to anatomy and physiology. I'm just an aspiring pharmacist, not a doctor. But as an educated human being who never even needed to go to college for this opinion, I say no, he was never going to die that's why I asked if any other person agreed with this nonsense. He and Fergie are cheaters of death apparently. Can't wait to see what Pepe and Marcelo are going to do now if that's what it's going to take for him to cry bloody murder.Open Controls
😀
Open ControlsLol that ur so irate over this.
Open Controlsi've not seen this incident, but i have been knocked out by a ball in the face one time. still tho, sounds like fergie talking nonsense
Open ControlsTo be fair he is from Glasgow, so I bow to his authority of kicking heads in.
Open ControlsWhy don't you just take it with a pinch of salt.
Having seen someone hospitalised with concussion over a similar incident it was a bit dangerous, but certainly not life threatening. Fergie was just being Fergie, you've just got to laugh at him.Open Controls

TOTAL:
21 games
+16 =3 -2
HOME:
+11 =3 -0
AWAY:
+5 =0 -2
Goals scored: 1.62
Goals conceded: 0.67
Cleen Sheets: 12 out of 21
To sum up, the presence of the 'bouncing back effect' is obvious. When a team concedes 6 goals or more, they win their next game in 76% of observations. The only two losses were observed in games away from home. Besides, there was a 56% chance to keep a cleen sheet.
These numbers imply that Tottenham Hottspurs are in big trouble on Wednesday. It seems reasonable to avoid their players and purchase Aston Villa players, defenders in particular.Open Controls
Anyone else worried by so many being on 4 yellows?
I've currently got Michu, Taarabt, Vertongen and thinking of getting in Rooney. If even 2 of those were out for the same week I'd be stuck.Open Controls
11 years, 4 months agoWithout a keeper next week so will have to bring one in, thinking Schwarzer?
