With another seven days left until the deadline for Gameweek 4, there’s plenty time to ponder the numbers in our Members section. While some Fantasy managers still contemplate pressing the wildcard button, we take a look at some of the most notable attacking statistics on offer so far – in the first in a series of three articles, we begin with the defenders.
Sturridge managed 90 minutes with the injury. Surely 2 weeks later he will be okay?

Which do you prefer?

This is exactly what I plan to do ( without the hit part ) so I say cool.
Open Controls
Is Luke Shaw fit and will he start?
Open Controls
Best 9.0ish midfielder to pair with silva and theo? Currently thinking about michu, or a punt on Lamela/eriksen
Open Controls
I absolutely love Negrado. Sticking him in my team purely for this reason 😀 watch this video. Some ridiculous finishes

StruggLing to decide who to remove to get RVP!!
A) Soldado
B) Benteke
C) Sturridge
Also, Koscielny or Mert, who is the best Arsenal defender to get?Open Controls
You don't want RVP! You want Benteke, Sturridge and Giroud.
Open ControlsD) As in Don't then.
Open Controls
getting rvp would downgrade someone from your team your strikeforce is brilliant
Open ControlsNo i have 5m spare. can get him in 1 transfer. Rest of my team looks ok to me.
Mignolet / Lewis
Touré / Moxey / Lescott / Chester / Collins
Walcott / Lampard / Whittingham / Ben Arfa / Williams
Benteke / Soldado / SturridgeOpen Controls
strange that you still have 5M still to spare....
if it' really necessary than take out Soldado... but do u really want to go for RVP ????
you could easily take GiRu in place of Solda and use the money two improve your one defender and one mid...Open Controls
Soldado worst of the bunch.

Let's find out how addicted we all are to FFS. Go to your profile page and work out how many comments you've made in the last 30 days - click on 'last' and times the page number by 20(no. of comments per page)
A worrying 1080 for me. That's 36 per day 😕Open ControlsIsn't it 30 posts per page?
Open Controls
Gunnarson or Wittingham?
Open ControlsShall i get Benteke and Girourd for lambert and aguero for a hit (Long term fixtures are great)

-Which Premium midfielder would you pick, other than Walcott?-Open ControlsSilva
Open ControlsNani.
Open Controls
By premium I assume you mean above 9m?
Right now probably none.
I expect Ozil to do well at Arsenal but also that other players will benefit from his presence more than him getting points himself.
I feel strongly that Mata will be back in contention in the Chelsea midfield now, but that remains to be seen.
Everyone else is a wait-and-see still...Open Controls
Walcott seems like the only one worth the money for me.. many of them seem to be playing well but not from an FPL standpoint. Hazard will come good soon
Open Controls
you dirty bear 😉
Open ControlsShe didn't
Open ControlsFair enough, but I've heard that they talk to each other.
Open Controls
I count his mum for me.
Open Controls
hope your wife don't mind it 😉
Open Controls
Has anyone considered that RVP might not play vs Palace? It is the game before champions league....
I think he will play due to points needed and injuries to our other strikers, but you never know 🙂Open Controls
I'm trying to figure out who my fifth mid will be...
everyone is getting lampard and yaya in, but both of their fixtures and europe are telling me not to be a sheep.
with united's fixtures picking up, who will moyes start to play?...fellaini, nani, kagawa, valencia. are any of them worth the punt to bring in or do i downgrade to a cheapie and upgrade elsewhere?Open ControlsI would say in order:
Lamps > Yaya > Fellaini > Nani > Kagawa > Valencia
based on nothing but gut feeling lolOpen Controls
I've gone on my gut with Fellaini.
Need to start listening to it more. I wanted to captain HBA last week but decided to be a sheep and went for Soldado.Open Controlsthats what my guts telling me as well.
any idea whether he'll play in the hole or will he drop more defensive?Open ControlsI can't really see Moyes shackling him in a DM role - he didn't do it at Everton, and Kagawa is out of favour while Rooney probably won't be fit.
Carrick is more than sufficient to play the holding role with their run of fixtures. Even if Fellaini plays in the double pivot he'll still get licence to roam forward. Plus there's his threat from set pieces.Open Controls
These FIFA ratings for FIFA 14 are sooo poor anyone else think that i mean walcott still 81 ffs he had his best season last year i was hoping he could finish in fifa 14 🙁
Secondly Nani 83 young 82 walcott 81 how the hell does this work
EA = Manchester United BiasOpen ControlsYeah that's terrible actually.
Open Controls
Free transfer used. Worth considering hits (or WC) with this lot?
Mignolet - Marshall
Ward - M. Turner - Collins - Coleman - Chester
Silva - Snodgrass - Walcott - Mirallas - Kim
RVP - Soldado - BentOpen Controlsif you want to downgrade rvp then wildcard otherwise just leave it or do mirralas to HBA for a hit
Open Controls
I've not seen much love for Victor Moses, but shouldn't he be a pretty interesting prospect for 6.2m? He might initially share some gametime with Aspas but I kind of back him to make that role his, or even take Coutinho's place if Coutinho is moved more centrally. A lot of Moses qualities are pretty well suited for FPL, and in a good team with a brilliant run of fixtures he could be a good pick I think.
Also... 6.2!Open ControlsWhen should I use my FT?
a) today
b) tomorrow or Tuesday
c) Wed/Thurs
d) Friday
e) 5 minutes before deadlineOpen Controls- New Post
Open ControlsYeah!! The new post bit, not the news. That's bad.:(
Open Controls
I think having Soldado will be a bit like having the Darren Bent of old; painful if you're watching the match and seeing him barely get a touch all 90 minutes - but will still somehow end up with 20+ goals at the end of the season.
Open ControlsWhy are People going 5 at the back on wc It simply will not last
1) How many CS were in PL last year
2) If all your 5 defenders concede thats 10 points and a pretty crap gw
3) if they all keep cs its only 30 points
4) Most of you pick the attacking lb rb instead of the cb so its unlikely (unless they assist) that they will get bonus points
5) it wont last long and with no wc to jan you will need to take a hit to reshape your team
6) you must hate football hoping for 0-0 matchesOpen Controls1) This is not last season
2) Less likely than none of my forwards not scoring.
3) 30pts from five is a good score and would be more with bps - typically 35pts.
4) then pick CBs
5) why not?
6) with FPL we are trying to get whatever points are there. Labelling people as football-haters is not an argument that supports your case.Open Controls
I've got Glen Johnson and don't know who's the next best Liverpool defender to get in? Sakho? Agger? Enrique? 🙂
Open ControlsYeah but he is the most expensive.. and the other bloke in my mini-league has him!
Open Controls
Hows this for a WC team? 343 Formation
Mignolet (Boruc)
Coleman, Jose Enrique, Whittaker (Chester, Fonte)
Hernandez, Walcott, Brady, Lampard, (Ward-Prowse)

Or leave as is?
Begovic (Gazzaniga)
Ivanovic, Jose Enrique, Zabaleta (Garrido, Collins)
Silva, Walcott, Mirallas, Lampard (Routledge)
Benteke, Dzeko, Anelka
Any thoughts?!!Open Controls
10 years, 8 months agoSturridge to RVP this week for a hit and captain him, then swop him for Suarez in gw7. Cool or fool?
