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.

      It's depressing that if I was a footballer, I'd be past the youngster phase. I'd now be into the "needs to step up and prove himself on the big stage" phase.

    When Holloway left, Blackpool were top of the table but are now 14th, below Blackburn.

    How's this WC team? A little top heavy I agree but with rotation the defence could work;

    Begovic Turnbull

    Azpilicueta Davies Demel Naughton Harte

    Gerrard Bale Michu Fellaini Walcott

      Nice squad. I don't have a problem with the cheap defence but do question Naughton and Harte in terms of pitch time. I am not sure about Turnbull either, but I assume you will just play Begovic for the rest of the season.

          Was my original plan as well. Would have to bench Bale, Walcott, Michu or Berb then which didn't sound especially enticing. With Cole from the start I'll get to play my heavy hitters and save a hit. 😉

            I reckon Ruiz could be close to Berbs over the rest of the season and I reckon the #2m spent elsewhere could make it a profitable venture.

    Good evening everybody. Wondering if I should play my WC. It comes down to:

    WC:
    Harte - Gibbs
    Nolan - Bale
    Lambert

    instead of:
    Nelsen - Cuellar
    Pienaar - Sessegnon
    Tevez

    Other players are:
    Begovic
    Rafael - Luiz - Demel
    Mata - Walcott - Puncheon
    Ba - Van Persie

    Mata will be Santi in GW23. The WC would give me Bale + 3 extra DGW players.

    I do think Pienaar, Sessegnon and Tevez could have a good GW but this DGW is itching my finger to play the WC!
    What do you think, is it worth it? Thx
