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….
Ruiz.

Luiz or Torres for the DGW?

meeee
Open ControlsMe. 🙁

Why the sad face? I was annoyed by having to play it this early too, but starting to come round to the idea. Can get some serious points over the next 2 GW's and then take a hit or two to ease out some of the unwanted leftovers
Open ControlsNot really sure yet, as i want to milk some rises. Need to decide on whether i double up on Chelsea defenders and Mata or get Ba. Also Gibbs/Szczesny or Podolski as the 3rd Arsenal DGWer

I'd probably not make a transfer in between the DGWs and then use 3 to get back the likes of Michu/Suarez while selling Cazorla and downgrading the defenceOpen Controls
You seem convinced this is the right time to activate and imo your making a good case im now considering, Tho i have Mata/Clyne and 1 ft which looks like Aziz ,(3)
I then have Caz and demel and would do mata > Theo (3)
So essentially 3/3 in both and im prepared to take one hit in each if it looks warranted,
I was then going to Wildcard...
But now im considering Wildcarding - Any thoughts would be hugely appreciatedOpen Controls
Yeah and if it comes down to it i'll use my real wildcard to clean up the mess. Any rough drafts so far??
Open Controlshttp://i.imgur.com/B3MFY.png
Snodgrass will become Mata after his rise. Still not sure on a Chelsea defence double up, or Ba. Szczesny might go too.Open Controls
Because a few people already ready have a couple of Chelsea players and don't need to play their WC's but I suppose they're in the minority.

and then get rid of: Hazard, Mata, Bale and Shaw
and bring in :Silva, Walcott, Cazorla and Sagna
12pt hit but lots of DGWers
good shout or should i even it it and get an arsenal player in this week?Open Controls
4 point hit maybe, 8 points no way, 12 points is madness
Open Controls
Would you prefer:
A) Zabaleta, Marveaux, Berbatov (bench Marveaux every week)
B) Shaw, Bale, Pog (bench Pog every week)
The rest of my team is:
Jaaskelainen - Mignolet
Davies - Martin - Cameron - O'Brien - ???
Mata - Walcott - Fellaini - Michu - ???
RVP - Suarez - ???Open ControlsNot able to afford him. Which would you prefer out of those?
Open Controls
If you had to bring in one Chelsea DGW'er who would it be?
Open Controls
Foster -> Turnbull
Hernandez -> Ba
4 points
Yes or NO?Open Controls
Luiz or Azpilicueta…taking into account their respective prices ?
Open Controls
o'brien back for dgw?
Open Controls
Unlikely imo.
Open Controls
Really disappointed about this Aguero news. With his 6.4% ownership he was a big part of my plans to improve my dismal rank. The post DGW team including RVP, Kun, the power five, Baines and Begovic looked so good.
Open Controlsi know i sound stupid and its probably obvious but who are the power 5?
Open ControlsNo Suarez?
Open ControlsGoing for Aguero over Suarez was going to be a gamble to try and make up some serious ground in the rankings. Aguero is owned by 25% less managers and City have better fixtures. We don't know how Sturridge is going to impact on the returns of Suarez yet, it could be detrimental.
Open Controls
I kinda agree, I thought Aguero would be the highest scorer from GW23(ish) to the end. But, a cheap option for City attack isn't exactly a bad thing.
Open ControlsAguero's high price was almost part of the appeal. I had a planned team that I was happy with. If he exploded in form (I think the signs were there) after January it would have been difficult for a lot of teams to fit him in. Tevez and his high ownership can't help me up the rankings so much.
Open Controls
Wait for it - not sure when Ponytail returns.

What do people think of this wildcard team;
Bego, Bunn
Azpi, Sagna, Demel, Davies, Nelsen
Haz, Walcott, Bale, Fellaini, Marv
Sturridge, Torres, RvP
GW 23-Haz to Caz
GW 24 Caz to Silva
Thoughts much appreciated.Open Controlsleaving torres in?
Open Controls
What happened?
Open Controls
Ok let's get down to the nitty gritty...
Out of the Chelsea defenders, who is going to play the most minutes in the DGW
Azpilicueta Cahill Ivanovic Cole
Luiz
This could potentially be the lineup for both games. But if one or two were to be rotated who is most likely?Open Controls
Cahill, Azpi most likely, Ivanovic least likely, would be my guess.
Open ControlsI suppose it hinges on whether Terry is going to be back in time for this DGW...That would mess things up royally
Open Controlsi think he'll either dislodge Cahill or Azpi. I'm hoping he does tbh as I think Luiz or Ivan are well worth it for the attacking potential, look at Ivan GW1 for example.
Open ControlsSo basically Ashley Cole is probably the safest option but Luiz and Ivanovic might be worth it for the goal threat. I also think Cahill has massive attacking threat too...They are a ridiculous team for these kind of defenders
Open Controls
I think he could get rotated, but the return of Terry shouldn't affect him. And with Mikel out he's only fighting against Lamps and Ramires for the DM spot.
Of course, any of them could be rotated at any time, which makes me worry about using my WC to stock up on them 😕Open Controls
Luiz 87% for a rise, take it that won't be happening tonight then?
Open Controls
Finally back from the Etihad, decent effort from us
Anyway, I've just seen the Chelsea result - which players are you guys getting in, bearing in mind I'd have to take a hit for each playerOpen Controlsnot considering WC?
Mata is best, followed by Ivan and Luiz. ImoOpen Controls
need help guys
basically had 3 chelsea players in ivan, mata, torres
also got ba which makes it my 4th chelsea player. whats the rule on this in terms of FPL. i know you can only have 3 players from one team but what will FPL do will i be forced to make a change or will FPL flag / remove my player if i take no action?
any help much appreciated
im sure there was a similar situation last season?Open ControlsWhat are the flaws in going with Begovic and a non playing goalie from now till the end of the season? Apart from the obvious; he could get injured.
Open ControlsTough away games, STO may not keep up their good defensive record.
Open Controls
If you could afford the extra 0.3 you could go for Sorensen as your second keeper and then if Bego is out you won't have to worry. Then again that kind of defeats the point!
Open ControlsHe could get injured
Open Controls
Been thinkin boot this a little. It may mean at some stage you'll need to bring a keeper (injuries, postponements etc) if you want to play XI, but if you can manage to keep your shit together, some week you may find yourself with 2 frees, nothing urgent & the option of bringing in another keeper. Trying to sell myself on going with Jaas & TB. Tough sell.
Open Controls
How about Begovic and Sorensen? Solves the injury concern?!
Open Controls
Hi, could anyone tell me which players I should be getting in order to accumulate money as I have played my wildcard. Also if I get bring my original picks back won't I lose money on them? Thanks

Just keep an eye on this, click on 'Todays NTI' to keep track 😉

Would you bring in Lampard for free or Bale for a -4 this week?
Open Controls

Open Controls
Quick RMDDGWDWCT for anyone who can be bothered!
Begovic Turnbull
Azpi Sagna Demel Cuellar [Mariappa]
Mata Caz Walcott Michu Puncheon
RVP Suarez Lambert
Means losing Bale which I'm loathe to do this week but what do you reckon? Also open to suggestions for anyone better than Mariappa for up to 3.9!Open ControlsCuellar injured today mate
http://tyneandwear.sky.com/sunderland/article/51980Open Controls
A) Demel and mata
B) o'brien and hazardOpen Controlson a wc this is my plan
GW22 bale- mata
GW23 mata-cazorla
GW24 cazorla -bale
or am i useing to many ft?Open Controls
Hmm, do you think i could get away with just Mata and Turnbull as Chelsea cover, or do you think another one is worth a hit?
Open Controls
Wild Card Draft...
Turnbull Begovic
Baines Sagna Demel Rafael Luiz
Bale Gaston Ram Mata Fellaini Walcott
Rvp Ruiz Lambert
Any thoughts people??Open Controls
So with all the dgw mess is anybody keeping baines in their team?
I was sure I was selling, however, his performance against newcastle, upcoming fixtures + the stats make it difficult.
The problem is that if I keep i have less money to invest elsewhere.Open Controls
11 years, 3 months agoWho to bench out of this lot for Ba
Punchy Mata Bale Gerrard Walcott
RVP Ruiz
Thanks!
