Continuing our round-up of the Christmas period, it’s time to treat our members to a series of articles which examines each of the positions and analyses the form of the key protagonists over the past four Gameweeks. We start in defence, by casting an eye over the top tens for our ICT Index, plus a more in-depth look at the main performers in terms of goal threat and creativity….
I'd avoid. had him at the start, got some nice points, took him out and he hasn't set the world on fire. Money spent well elsewhere (Fellaini for a little bit more?)
Open Controls
He's in on my wildcard.
70 chances created, 2 assists. Everton are probably in the top half of the league in terms of the quality of their defensive players, but they have 2 clean sheets.
He is going to score a lot more points.Open Controls
That tells you everything about the failure to turn his chances into points though
Open Controls
okay Chelsea fans
Hazard or Lampard????....who's the most likely to play both matches in the DGW???....apart from mata i.e.Open Controls
Good man.

Why is everyone so sure Cech will be out for both DGW games?

fantasy football scout said in the article a previpous one
Cech’s injury will see Turnbull start at Stoke in Gameweek 22 and maybe even against Arsenal at the Bridge following thatOpen ControlsCheers usually read all the articles, must have missed tht one
Open Controls
Anyone aggree that Kilgallon of Sunderland is good shout if you;re on a wildcard? Other centre-backs are injured, he's only 4.1 and they have the best defensive fixtures in the league coming up.

Any clue when aguero will be fit?
Open Controls8 weeks at least
Open ControlsRe. Aguero:
@Ian_Ladyman_DM: #mcfc fans shouldn’t worry unduly about aguero tweet about “torn” hamstring. prognosis remains the same. Two weeks.
@Ian_Ladyman_DM: I think translation problem is at heart of aguero tweet. City aren’t concerned, anyway #mcfcOpen ControlsTorn Hamstring, 2 weeks? Don't be daft. Pulled, yeah, but torn, no chance

DDGW fever.
One WC being used to prepare for it, and then the other one to fix it. Madness.Open ControlsReally Evs? can you not get together a team that is good both for the DGW and afterwards? i was thinking about using both but something like this looks good to me:
Turnbull Scesney
Baines Ivanovic Clyne Demel Kilgallon
Puncheon Michu Walcott Fellaini Mata
RVP Lambert Vaz Te
Then sub in Cazorla for Mata before the double. This gives you good doubles coverage, AND is a decent enough team so you can keep the second wildcard for afterwards.Open Controls
Maybe Jonah.
Perhaps I am being a little knee jerkey.
I was always planning wc gw24, but the Chelsea dgw has thrown a spanner in the works as I don't own any Chelsea or Sot players.
I may reasses after this week...Open Controls
Insane.
Open Controls
strongly considering it
Open ControlsNuts. Complete waste. Plan it well, then a small hit can tweak it back on track again.
Bloody casuals!Open Controls

Quick question: Baines or Evra (for rest of season)?
I've had Baines since GW5, recently started to think he wasn't worth the money and had planned to switch him to Evra during a late Jan WC, but am having second thoughts now just as I'm about to activate my Jan WC today or tomorrow (reason: DDGW).
Depending on which one I go with I'll end up with 2 different WC teams (one with Mata, one without), and if I get rid of Baines now it'll be for the season, barring a significant price fall.
So.... any opinions, please (just on a Baines/Evra straight comparison).Open ControlsWith 2 WC's remaining and currently:
Jaask Federici
Mertesacker Hughes B.Jones Shorey Zabaleta
Mata Michu Nolan Noble Fellaini
RVP Berba Suarez
Is this my best option????
GW22: Turnbull, Shaw, Hazard for Federici, Zabaleta, Fellaini (costs -8)
GW23: Walcott, Cazorla for Hazard, Mata (costs -4)
GW24: Wildcard!
Please throw your knowledge at me. 🙂
It would be greatly appreciated!Open ControlsJust had a beautiful image in my head.
Imagine if Chelsea sold Torres. :')Open Controls
.... yes, I'd have to buy bloody Ba... the useless idiot! 😉
Open ControlsI would like if this happened, from a fan and FF perspective now that we have Ba.
Open Controls
Maybe he could have a gap year and come do some voluntary work for us down at St. Andrews 😉
Open ControlsSeems like it's the best for both clubs.
Open Controls
Anyone else not have a clue what to do? My head hurts....
To WC or not.....
Begovic Foster
Cuellar OBrien (both doubts) Gibbs Nelsen Hughes
Sterling Puncheon Mata Walcott Michu
RVP Suarez Defoe
a) WC?
b) Defoe/Cuellar OUT for Berbatov/Luiz (4 pt hit)
c) Defoe/Sterling OUT for Berbatov/Fell (4 pt hit)
d) Something else?
Would appreciate some help, I need it!Open Controls
Yes I'm with you there. I wanted to hold on to WC until the last week, but the DGW has put a spanner in the works.
Open ControlsIMO, Foster/Walcott OUT for Turnbull/Hazard (4 pt hit)
GW23, Mata/Hazard OUT for Santi/Walcott (4 pt hit)
GW24, WILDCARD!
Think of the 4 pt hits as 2 pt hits with potential!
I think Hazard and Mata could fire!
Don't know how happy you'd be to lose Walcott, then buy him back. I guess it depends on how much you paid for him.
Please help me now 😀 (http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2013/01/05/the-numbers-game-festive-form-defenders/comment-page-12/#comment-4811549)

Is Kyle Naughton guaranteed a start for Spurs next week. Long term I will be getting Assou-ekotto, but can only afford a def of 4.2 as I want to transfer in Matta and Ba for DGW. Am I being slightly arrogant to be happy to take 12 point hit as I'm now 76 ahead in mini league.
Also, I have the identikit forward line of RVP, Berbs and Suarez, so was thinking of getting rid of Suarez for the short term and rotating for DGWs. Good idea, or will it come back and sting me? Questions, questions.Open Controls
Can i get rid of Suarez (just rose to 10.4) for Ba and then hip him back after GW23 by using my WC? Is he likely to rise in price before start of next GW? Dont understand why ppl are shipping him in for the manutd game...
Open ControlsI was going to do the same, but not 100% sold that Ba will out score Suarez, until the DGW appeared.
Open Controls

A) Shawcross & Walcott
B) Wilson & MataOpen ControlsWill Ba rise by 0.2 this gw? Asked this before but lost the question.

For those of you who have Ba or Torres this may be of interest:

Open Controls
Talking about Ba's partnership with Cisse is possibly the worst example he could have used!
Has Benitez actually watched Ba play before signing him?!Open ControlsThis^^^^
Open Controls
anyone getting Hazard in for a 1 week punt for the DGW? I have Mata, trying to double up on Chelsea attack and need to get rid of Yaya for someone.
also still have Tevez... tempted to keep now as not other City cover. what are the thoughts on Tevez > Ba / Defoe for a hit?Open Controlscant see him playing 180 mins under rafa...lamps on current form is a better punt
Open Controls
11 years, 4 months agoYet again, Baines is causing me a bloody headache. Feel like he's a great pick for the WC given his fixtures and the usual stuff. Who's getting him in?
