The Numbers Game – Festive Form – Forwards

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 Persie’s FPL returns in the same window.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    How does this look for a WC team? Thoughts appreciated.

    Bego Federici
    Luiz Davies Demel Martin R Mariappa
    Mata Bale Michu Walcott Puncheon
    RVP Suarez Ba

    GW 23- Luiz>Gibbs
    then upgrade Mariappa later on.

    Thanks

      I do. They had 12 last year and their players haven't changed much.

    Torres -> Lambert
    Nastasic/caulker -> Luiz

    Really no idea who to get in as forwards, can't afford RVP and Suarez, rest seem to be only budget options.. My other 2 forwards are Ba and Hernandez right now... Really lost :S

    In regards to my post on page 2 I would like to thank everyone who gave me replies to my post! Had to go tend to my daughter, so did not have time to get back on until now... 🙂 And Super Zlatan, if you are still there, Happy New Year's mate! Would love to hear about your Sweden experience ;)...

    I am thinking of taking a 4 point hit to bring in Bale.

    I have no Chelsea cover and am remarkably relaxed about that.

      I am considering fitting him in mate... Do not really want to get rid of him before his nice fixtures... My team would look something like this:

      Federici – Begovic
      Demel – Zabaleta – Wilson – Baines – Davies
      Michu – Fellaini – Puncheon – Bale – Mata
      RVP – Suarez – Ba

      which is not too shabby... 🙂
