Liverpool and United’s strike pairings come under the microscope as the weekend numbers are crunched. We also look at the penalty box menace of City’s main forward, the Gunners new playmaker both at home and on the road, and highlight the potential on offer from a certain Canary and Magpie over the weekend and season so far:
I compared Michu with other options on the comparison tool for the last four weeks just to check the underlying stats, then i compared him to Cabaye,Mirallas,Sess,Lallana and co......He really is a bad pick at 9.0...He may score at the weekend, he may not..but he's no more likely than plenty of 6.0-7.0 priced players...some even cheaper than that...he's gotta go.
Open Controls
He's £8.9m, slightly less of a 'bad pick'
I'm sticking for 3 games 100%Open Controls
Decided to give him one last chance purely due to having other players I need out.
Open Controls
Two of his next 3 games are against Cardiff and Fulham though, Wakey. Check out the defensive team stats for the last 4 games if you get the chance. It's what convinced me to give him a short stay of execution.
Open Controls
I use stats from another site so not sure if they are the same but the ones I saw say if Michu ran at EV he would be the top scoring MFer in the whole game. Hes been getting slightly unlucky with his SOT and is well below his historical scoring averages. Regression will kick in at some point but I'm hoping its not this week
Open ControlsHis avg position compared to days of old is a shocker, even compared to GW1 this year...he's still ok but other options are just as good...Paulinho isn't delivering but at 7.0 his underlying stats are fab and he may yet be a great pick...Michu''s underlying stats are no better than his snd for 2 mill more...same with a lot of others.
Open Controls
I think the Cardiff v Swans game will tell us a lot - this is going to be an absolute war and will be interesting to see which Michu turns up. He will have to get stuck in big time and have the right head on...
Open Controls
Any news on Chester's hamstring…..?
Open Controls- Open Controls
Hmmm... Recent reports in early October said they were hopeful of a swift return to action.
However all quiet on the western front..........
He's dropped to 3.9 now.
No news at all is a bit mystifying..
Thanks for checking anyhow - but nothing newer out there I guess 🙁Open Controls
I'd love to do like a 5 a side fantasy football World Cup, where each nation would have 5 players from the Premier League, no keepers as it would be too hard, but have a squad of say 7 players as it would be hard to choose from Lukaku or Benteke for the whole thing, and just pick the one who had the best fixture.
Does this sound like a good idea? Just a bit of fun to do, I'd do all the work, and post the outcomes each week.Open ControlsGreat idea if I can have Belgium...
Open ControlsI wasn't planning on giving the nations out to people. Just seeing how'd they'd do, because how many nations would be in it? There wouldn't be that many to give out would there?
Open ControlsYeah - just kidding. But would be hard to look past about 4-5 nations to win it...
Open ControlsYeah, ill have a look into it and see if I can somehow get more nations involved.
Open Controls
Not sure. Don't think he'll make it.
Open Controls
Play Koscielny ( LIV ) or Dawson ( eve ) this week ?
Open ControlsOzil's only two home games - 14 and 15 points. Nothing over 6 points in 4 away games. Too early to read anything into this?
Open Controls
https://www.facebook.com/Cristiano Latest post.
Open ControlsIs it just me or is he saying he hopes Messi and Barcelona keep winning everything? I'm not convinced he's being sincere.
Open ControlsI think he's pointing out how the president of fifa prefers Messi due to his personality and that's why he always wins Ballon d'or over Ronaldo. The message is him trying to be professional.
Open ControlsYeah, think he's trying to show a bit more class than Blatter. I think Messi has won Ballon d'or over him on merit (at least on 3 of the 4 occasions) but can see why he'd be frustrated.
Open Controls
Forget them two, WPOTY should be from Munich this year otherwise it's a farce. Schweinsteiger, Muller or Lahm.
Open Controls
Is Coutinho fit?
Open ControlsDisagree. Coutinho has the nicer bum.
Open Controls
Worth -4 guys?
Eriksen > Silva
Lampard > Townsend
Giroud > AgueroOpen Controls
anyone willing to take a punt on Torres?
Open ControlsYes. If Benteke, Aguero, Giroud, Rooney, Lukaku, Suarez, Sturridge and Sone Aluko all pick up long term injuries before the weekend.
Open Controls
me 🙂
What do you think about this move
Erik+Giroud--->Silva+Torres?Open Controlsi got silva and torres in my Wc team (atm) so i say yes 😉
Open Controls
I've got enough pennies for Bony > Torres - nothing to lose I feel...
Open Controls
Far too many better options for the front 3 spots in our teams.
Torres is still a rotation riskOpen Controlsfeeling punty , and looking at upcoming fixures he could do nicely
Open ControlsAs long as you come come on here crying in a few weeks when its fails horribly. It doesn't make sense in any way shape or form with the other options available and with the last 3 years of Torres sucking pure garabge you'll only have yourself to blame.
Open Controlshmmm , good point
back too Benteke in that case 🙁Open Controls
Stop this Torres posts forca.
Even TM won't take that punt.Open Controlslets see what happens when he bag a few against newcastle
it's important to jump at right badwagon in right time and i have nothing too loose anymore since my rank is over 400k and my season couldnt be any worseOpen ControlsLong way to go Forca. You'll easily finish top 10k minimum.
Keep the differential picks for back end of the season.Open Controls
It could get worse than 400k. Get a green arrow and look forward.
Open Controls
Even if he does do well its not worth it as the other strikers will as well
Open Controls
Is there a reason everyone wants rid of barkley now? I have him rotating with brady atm
Open Controlshe's stating to not get full games and more comp in everton MF now that players are back.
Open ControlsYeah and Martinez has talked of taking it easy with him...
Open Controls
Subbed off the last two games, and on Saturday his replacement got a goal and an assisthave led to questions over gametime. Plus Everton's fixtures are inconsistent at best until Christmas so if you don't have a good rotation it's a good time to cash in.
I'm seeing how the next two go (TOT, cpl) and might look to shift.Open Controls
Sorely tempted to do giroud > aguero for a 4 point hit... I've had giroud since day 1 & think theo will be much better arsenal coverage once he gets back.
Will kun bring home the bacon this weekend??Open ControlsThinking about that transfer myself. If I do bring in Aguero I'll definitely (C) him
Open Controls
Very tempted to get Aguero for this weekend, he looks a good (C) option. I'd have to make another transfer to afford him, though, could do Vidic->Chico/Rat which would solve another problem at the same time....

Guys from India, know of any live streaming link for star sports 2?
Open Controlsthere are loads but can't post them on this site. Just google it and you'll see them
Open ControlsOk. didn't know that. Extremely sorry. Couldn't seem to find on google hence asked here. I think I need to change my DTH service provider :-/
Open Controls
You can watch all PL matches live on starsports.com.
If you are asking about the Cup games tonight, then I'm afraid that they are on Ten sports and links for streams are not allowed on this site. Google it.Open Controlsactually it's for tomorrow morning. To watch Sachin bat. 🙂
Lots of sites I know for football matches so that is not an issue.Open Controls
Google them. Can't help you sorry. Not allowed here.
The matches are on Ten Sports and Ten HD though.Open Controlsno issues. Thanks a lot.
Open Controls
Silva for me - one player that makes Man City tick and fairly nailed on. All have merits tho
Open Controls
oscar . jose loves him, seems to have the freest role at chelsea and is a bigger goal threat than haz and silva. never been keen on silva. gets big scores with assists and bps against weak opposition but disappears in the big games
Open ControlsYeah he is more of an assists man - but with the form Kun is in that might be a lot of assists...stats are improving t
Open Controls
Oscar.

If Clichy starts in the League Cup, I'm getting Kolarov for the first time.
Open ControlsI'm predicting this Chelsea lineup tonight.
Schwarzer,Azpilicueta,Luiz,Cahill,Cole,Lampard,Mikel,Willian,Mata,Schurrle,Eto'oOpen ControlsSubbed off around the hour mark at the weekend. I fancy him to start.
Open Controls
Mata is now a COC player. I can see him leaving.
Open Controlshe has to leave if this goes on. Too good a player to sit on the bench.
Open Controls
Schwarzer, Azpi, Kalas, Luiz, Bertrand, Mikel, Essien, Willian, Mata, KDB, Ba
Open ControlsThey are playing Arsenal. Won't be such a weakened lineup.
Open Controls

Chaps, squad evolution has been obvious so far but struggling for next week
Currently as follows:
Boruc / Mignolet
Shaw, Johnson, Coleman, Dawson, Chester
Ozil, Michu, Ramsey, Barkley, kasami
Rooney, Suarez, giroud
Got 0.8 in the bank, 1FT.
Whilst a strong squad, not feeling great about GW10. Where should I focus? City cover seems obvious but only banker is aguero but who do I take out?!
Would like to know what you would do?Open Controls
