As always, we cast our eye over the statistics across the previous round of matches to highlight some of the stand-out performers. Chelsea’s change of formation bodes well for their midfield veteran, United’s former Toffee provides chances aplenty, Villa’s misfiring frontman still has reason for optimism, while Liverpool’s young full-back delivers a tenacious display in the Merseyside derby:
Haha Salah again

Anyone else noticed, but is that a hearing aid in Theo Walcott's right ear?
Open Controls
What?
Open ControlsWhen it did a close up of him just after he had that final shot, it looked like he had a hearing aid in his right ear.
Open ControlsI can't find anything of the sort on google, so might of been something else for the inside of his ear.

I'm winding you up...

Wally with a couple of threatening runs in behind and just had an early shot which he pulled wide...
The only question remaining is whether he has 60 minutes in him.Open Controls
Still too early methinks.
Open ControlsI think you're right. I have the money lined up so it's just a case of pulling the trigger on Ramsey > Wally. I want to be ahead of the curve, but not too far ahead that he plays less than 60 mins in the first game I get him!
Open Controls
Ramsey was amazing tonight. Won a penalty with amazing skill, almost scored and put great through balls through all night. No way do you want to rid him.
Open ControlsI don't doubt he is a talented player, but I'm looking at goals and assists in FPL.
Wally no doubt will offer more in that category and unless I sell Giroud in the next couple of weeks, he will be making way for Wally.Open Controls
i want in on this as soon as possible. disappointed he didn't get more time tonight, just think it's maybe because he won't start next game either. looked reasonable with the few times he had on the ball.
Open ControlsI think home against Hull looks like a good time to bring him in
Open Controls
I LOVE YOU BASEL
Open Controls
Gerrard or Walcott?
Already have Ramsey and SuarezOpen ControlsShort-term Gerrard, long-term Wally, but I think you know this. See my post above.
Open Controls...and for what it's worth I think you're right. Gerrard it is unless you can think of any better for around £9m mark. Already have oscar otherwise would go for hazard
Open Controls
Gerrard. guaranteed gamtime and freshness do it for me
Open Controls
(C) Suarez for me this week
Open Controls
😆 1 - 0 Basel

Imagine if Chelsea didn't qualify from the group of crap (Bucharest, Basle and Schalke)
Surely Mourinho will be shown the door again??Open Controls
It happened to United 2 years ago.
Open Controls
No need to imagine. We're through.
Open ControlsChelsea 9pts
Basle 8pts
Schalke 7pts
Bucharest 3pts
Do you know maths?Open Controls
On another note, Walcott looked rusty again. Not enough match fitness methinks.
Open ControlsIndeed
Happy to wait atm, and work on freeing up some cash for itOpen Controls
UCL score
2 points from 7 players (10 point hit)Open Controls- Lukaku Keeping Pace With Rooney
I keep reading how Rooney is in great form and a must have etc etc but then comparing the stats to Lukaku, someone who has generally been out of form recently, the stats are quite surprising (bearing in mind the £3.2m price difference). I have taken the stats from the last 8 game's which coincided with Lukaku's move to Everton
Rooney:
Mins Played: 716
Goals: 5
Assists: 5
Bonus: 11
Points: 58
PPG: 7.25
Lukaku:
Mins Played: 639
Goals: 7
Assists: 1
Bonus: 10
Points: 55
PPG: 6.88
I think i'll save myself the extra £3m and spend it elsewhere.Open ControlsGreat post
As a Rooney owner im thinking of making the switch ......Open ControlsYou get Mr Consistency when you go for Rooney, which makes him a viable captain pick.
You could captain Lukaku, but there's a decent chance of a blank.Open ControlsIndeed. I've been banging this drum when I've been on and it seems like a lot of people are on the same wavelength.
Suarez and Aguero + Lukaku seems the best way to go.Open ControlsAgree Tink , wazza has done well for me but getting luk allows me to sell brady next week for gerrard so a no brainer.
Open ControlsI've had the same though on Rooney about 11 mil for a player you won't captain
It's just when you look at our fixtures after GW14
EVE, NEW, avl, WHM, hul, nor
would want to be without a United attacker for that run?Open Controls
Don't like everyone commenting on Wally's lack of fitness he was not cheap to get in last week
Open ControlsHahahahaha
Mourinho's reaction to the goal is priceless
"He was sleeping"Open ControlsJohn Terry
Essential
Really?Open Controls
Should I take a 4 point hit to ship out Soldado before he loses value tonight? I imagine he will continue to lose value all week. Thinking of putting Torres in or is that crazy?
Otherwise Giroud or Negredo (already have Aguero)
Thoughts?Open ControlsGet rid ASAP. Giroud between those IMO.
Open Controlsturn Soldado into SOLDado for Giroud
Open ControlsNegredo and aguero could mean huge points but with a couple of consecutive away games for city I would spread the love. Not tempted by remy?
Open ControlsTook the advice re get rid of Soldado for a 4pt hit but decided on Torres. A definite differential but with Etoo going off injured tonight and a tasty set of Chels fixtures coming up I fancy Torres to deliver. No doubt Ba will start on Sun!
Open Controls
Azpilicueta anyone? I've been asking for a while with no response, and that ivanovic makes a blunder many more are asking the same question
Open ControlsBeen very good every game he started. Can't see him being dropped.
Open ControlsI've yet to see anything that convinces me Chelsea defence is worth it. I own JT, but 1 CS in 7, against shot shy West Ham is hardly cause for great optimism
Open ControlsI just can't get passed their fixtures, on a tight budget. May go with skrtel but even he could get rotated
Open Controls
That CS was a bit lucky as well, West Ham really should have scored after Demel dribbled past three players.
Open ControlsI may do Terry to Ward next week 😎

Who is getting Walcott this week? Still needs match fitness.
Open Controls
Which one of my mids would you sell ?
Arnie
Januzaj
BarkleyOpen Controls
Chelsea 0 shots on target 😆
Open ControlsI have Schurrle, i cant take another 1pt though 🙁
Open Controls
Why are these 'expert' pundits surprised that Ozil took the penalty and not Giroud, when Wenger said it was Arteta, Ozil, Giroud in that order? Do they bother reading anything?
Open ControlsWhich expert pundits? I hope you don't mean anyone on here 😆
