The Big Numbers – Gameweek 15

An upturn in form by Palace’s former Villa man and a certain enigmatic Bulgarian over at Craven Cottage come under the spotlight this evening. Tottenham’s improvement in front of goal and United’s faltering home form are also picked apart in our latest review of the statistics from the weekend and beyond:

        For quite a few weeks I've been resisting the urge to go heavy in defence and it's paying off. Not worth spending the money on the big teams there except maybe Arsenal, and their good fixtures are gone for now.

          Why not? Good fixtures coming up and they are the only players who seem to be able to do anything attacking wise (consistently) for Chelsea. The rest of them just have an odd good game here and there (Schurrle, Lampard, Eto'o, Torres, etc)

    Are Terry owners keeping? I've got no EVE defence cover and am thinking of Terry > Jags, which then allows me to do Oscar > Haz.

    Sensible moves? Or is it better to hold Terry, and Oscar > Haz too sideways a trade?

        So do I. I'm considering waiving it this time because of several factors - the superb form of the Everton defence, their ridiculously good fixtures, and the shiteness of every other defence in their price bracket (and pricier) except Arsenal who have dodgy fixtures.

          Well with 2 transfers you're sorted. I've got a bit in the bank so I could get Distin for a single transfer, but I fancy the hit for jags. Reckon i'll get it back with the extra boni he seems to get and it clears Clyne out to improve my bench.

    Watching this makes me realise how much I loved the rivalry between Arsenal & Utd.

    Oh how I missed those days 🙁

    If Hazard gets rested tomorrow, it's madness to captain Rooney over him, right?
