The second instalment in out series of members articles focussing on team statistics takes a look at the defensive side of things. We analyse the last six Gameweeks, checking the key indicators to assess each side in terms of potential defensive returns…
In a dilemma here folks...
I am leading my ML by 10 points so its quiet tight, and i am leading my monthly ML by 20 points. So
1) would you take a hit this gw to field 11 players (thats assuming cueller and onouha play)
2) Should i make the transfer considering my overall league i.e. GJ + suarez >> wilson + augero or try to focus on winning this month by taking a 1 week punt i.e. GJ + suarez >> sagna + giroud/cisse... city vs chel could go either wayOpen Controls
Was it three seasons ago that both Arsenal and Utd had a DGW and both Fabregas and Rooney scored massively? Scores were ridiculous that week but I can't remember exactly, I think I got close to 150 or so and the week leader got 170-180. Does anybody remember details?
Good times.Open Controls
I think so. I got 159.
Open Controls
bayern won only 3-1
i expected a lot more 🙁Open Controls
CF. If you're still about, I disagree with your fixture comment.
Like TW said, they HAD to remove them from those dates as the results that already occurred made it impossible for them to play on that weekend.
IMO it is very possible for them to be moved to mid-week, in the same GW.Open Controls
I have bale walcott mata lampard in midfield
Who should be the 5th man??Open Controls
Been away for a little while, and skimmed a bit of stuff. More DGWs or blanks? Saw mentions of Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City. Ughh. Not another damn DGW.
Open Controls
the scouts did an article on it, you should have a look. was two articles back i believe
Open Controls
Who would you rid your team of - Fellaini or Michu?
Open Controls
Fellaini. Hard to call. EVR 's fixtures and Fellaini's card count swings it.
Open Controls
Citeh(h) just conceded 3 vs South....
Stoke(h).....nothing wrong with this...
Spuds(a)...ok that one I will give you...
Ars...part of a DGW
Not to mention WEST/QPR/FUL for the run in.Open Controls
Guten morgen
Decided to take a drop on Suarez price and wait for possible news considering gw29.
So what do you think, which one for next two gw's?
a) rvp
b) cisse + 4 pointsOpen Controlsseems sensible, maybe I should have done that suarez => rvp yesterday after all...just thinking that if they'll have chelsea next in Fa cup, Rvp could be total no show in Norwich game.
Open Controls
RVP. I get the feeling he won't be rotated until Utd win the league.
Open Controlsvery possible, I expected him to to 90 mins against qpr and then maybe 60-70 against Nor, but this possible chelsea match (fa cup) made my head spin!
And maybe overthinking things right now with these gw29 blanks looming..Open Controls
who do you guys recon for captain from rvp walcott bale and giroud?
Open ControlsForca, don't know if you answered Christina last night about your proffession.. but you should DEFINITELY be a comedian.
"england dont have players mandzukic class"
They don't have players in his class because many England strikers are much, much better.
RVP, Rooney, Aguero, Dzeko, Suarez, Ba, etc. are all better than Mandzukic.Open ControlsYeah he answered us yest afternoon. He just bought himself a pitch black Golf TDI with tinted windows. Apparently he sit behind a desk and looks after bars etc. Something about new users etc.
Old School figured out he is involved in the Croatian Mafia.
Forca sent us this pic of himself...

Open Controls
Nice to see "definitely" spelt correctly for a change.
Open ControlsI'm not sure but I think Rooney is scottish, but otherones are definetely english... 😉
At least that's the way I understood his post - which was very mature of course.Open Controls
I've been seeing a fair bit of excite around Dawson. With Kaboul coming back from injury, and Gallas on the sidelines, is he nailed on enough to bring in your opinion?
Open Controls
Yes.. they WON more PL games with Dawson on the pitch.. Kaboul could be used for EL matches..
Open Controls
1. Harte or Wilson for this game week?
2. is Harte nailed on?
Thanks!Open Controls
Is dawson nailed?
Open Controls
Good morning just home from work
Just done some sums and if i decide to bench Michu Enrique Gerrard Suarez and Vrom and field 10 if i am lucky with the rest of my squad i would have £39.6m worth of players on the bench it would be like City or Chelseas bench warmers value
I will still be hoping to do ok might go ahead with this and hang on to my transfers for the upcoming blank and these players will be good to go for gw29 blank
N.B Demel is a worry if any1 is going it will be himOpen ControlsThe relieving feeling when you have RVP in your team...
It's the most nerve racking feeling ever not owning him. In fact, when I ditched him I made my gf click 'confirm', just so that if anything went wrong I could blame it on her 😆
All went well, 1 week without RVP, 104pts.
Now for the RVP show this weekend 😎Open ControlsYessir.
Open Controls
I got 104, not you.
Open Controls104(-4) to be exact 😉

2) Depending on above, which two should i bring in? have 1FT and 1m. I am keen to bring in augero but chel have good fixtures but possible blank in gw29Open ControlsQuestion about the FPL Open / Elite 64.
At the moment lower seeded teams are penalised 11 points for using a WC against a higher seed.
Just wondering what you guys think a good penalty is / also should there be a higher penalty for a DGW?
Thanks in advance. 🙂Open ControlsPenalty for a wc? wtf 😯
Open ControlsProtection for higher seeds. Means the WCer better pick a great team for the week.
Open Controls
I like that idea. Penalty could be even higher probably. Wc is a huge h2h advantage. No idea how to put a value on it though.
Open ControlsThanks all. Will have a think about it.

Breaking Bad returns.Open ControlsThat far away?! Jaysus.
I watched the first 2 episodes of the new season of Community earlier 😀
What's your fav episode? Mine would have to be the video game episode.Open Controlsshould have a cracking finish.. many possibilities to end the series..
Open Controls4 months to finish 3 and a half seasons. Sorted.
Open Controlsyou will love the 4th & 5th seasons.. the best!
Open ControlsI've been bossing out Dexter for the past month or so, 3 series down...
Open ControlsBeen watching Homeland (2nd season) after a season and a half of breaking bad.
Last episode of the second season left post which i'll catch up on suits (1 episode left i think) post which Breaking Bad shall be commenced. I left Dexter after 3 seasons more than a while ago. Hate coming back to shows i leave midway after a long time.Open ControlsSame happened with community and Office. Not seen Office after after Steve Carell left.
Not seen community after 2 seasons. Lots of shows just left hanging in mid air.
Is there any show in the Entourage mould? I miss that show. Such light viewing and Ari Gold is a legend.Open ControlsAri 🙂
I've not seen anything similar to entourage but I highly recommended Newsroom. Best new show since boardwalk started imo.Open ControlsSeen it, love it 😀
Got hooked in the first scene.Open Controls😀

On the strength of one good game?
Open ControlsLove this. LOVE it!
It'll get you returns. Hold him for the next 5.Open Controls
Oh no you don't! Valencia and Young have been tosh. Nani had a good game. SAF needs his wingers with (possibly) no Rooney.
And the fact that I'm ranked 70k, is crying out for an explosive differential 😉Open Controls
I hope Nani will outscore RVP until end of the season.
Open Controlsi thought you'd be hoping anderson scores more than rvp til the end of the season.... 😉

You're walking a tightrope between stupid and genius. I hope you fall on the right side but fear you won't mate
Open ControlsUtter fail

Nani on form will change the complexion of those template teams!!Open Controls
