We delve into the data from the weekend’s eight Premier League fixtures this evening. Palace, Sunderland and Tottenham’s chief threats are brought under analysis, whilst Chelsea’s young Egyptian and Fulham’s Colombian goal hero are also assessed after impressing in back-to-back appearances:
Haha top of the page and an absolutely useless post.. 😀

The +1's on the replies could do with a colour change. Grey on grey is a bit difficult.
Open ControlsIts the responses that are difficult, for the white initial posts its grand but with every grey reply its difficult to make out.
Open Controls
agree with all above..always having trouble trying to figure out whether its a reply or not.

I said this at least 12 months ago when Mark and the guys changed things around a little.
I can't make much out anymore (+1s , follow up comments , the reply button has to be hit twice at times, etc ) I just go along with things now ,
It's free and they're doing their best to make it a excellant site in the overall.Open Controls
You know what's causing the blindness - don't you ?
Open ControlsCertainly not whatever I'm sure you're implying..... 😉
By the way, what's Roy doing to his eye in your grav?Open Controls
Ashley Cole getting a game this weekend and next week in CL. That'll be enough for Hodgson to take him to the world cup.
Is Roy Hodgson the most uninspiring England manager ever? His selections make me want to not watch England play (even more).Open Controlsno if azpi doesn't play im fecked
Open ControlsIt's conceivable he gets a rest for CL, he's not had one for about 5 months. Ivanovic suspended next week so should play this weekend.
It's all rumour I've seen on here, but it makes sense considering it's Sunderland at home.Open Controlsyeah i think its a definitely good chance he could get rested. mou hates cashley though ahhah which makes it harder to judge.

What's all this nonsense about Rvp selecting games persay ?
If he's fit , first and foremost he plays for Utd , he and others need to remember who pays their wages - the Club and ultimatly the fans.
Some of these guys haven't a clue - the sacrifices fans make to buy a season ticket , travel from abroad to take in a match , pay Sky Sports etc , it's a tough economy for most fans and at times players living in a fantasy bubble need to remember this,
If I had the talent some if these guys have I'd play for the average industrial wage , and I'd play through injuries - I'd play on crutches if I had to !
I'm sick of some of these over paid , over hyped , over the bloody hill players dictating the way they want to play and when they are available ,
God be with the days when players played with injuries / bandages / and their wives had babies in the company of their mothers/sisters as players had a game on Saturday at 3 o clock.
Rant over.Open ControlsIts dangerous to compare Football to Gaa 😉

Open Controls
yeah, wait if you can obviously.
Open ControlsNot enough weeks left to wait! haha
Open ControlsHaha wait until after the Man City midweek match to make sure Silva isn't injured if you can 😉
Open ControlsHaha, I'll wait until then, been burned in the past from making early transfers, so always wait until after midweek fixtures/pressers.
Open Controls
ahhaah didnt mean weeks! wait for the gw to be over unless price changes will affect ur transfers
Open ControlsHaha, I thought u meant spread the transfers to avoid the hit. I'll wait until later in the week to ensure no heads have fallen off etc.

Got a serious benching dilemma this week! Who would you bench from
Cahill ward Flanagan baines coleman
Eriksen mata silva punch mutch
Lukaku suarez aguero!
Currently just got Mutch so far!Open Controls- Gwk 35 captaincy: Suarez v Aguero
Looking at how close Suarez was to a mini self explosion against City makes me think a safer captain bet would be Aguero. Very tempted.
Off on a cruise tomorrow so got to make my captain decision today.
Aguero?Open ControlsSuarez v Norwich is a monster haul waiting to happen
Open Controls
This Suarez v Norwich thing is a logical fallacy. Suarez is a good shout because he plays against a weak team. Whether it's Norwich or Sunderland or Cardiff makes little difference.
Open Controls
This would only be true if Suarez was a Sheldon-like creature if pure logic. I suspect he's not, and sees nothing but goals when he sees those golden shirts.
Much like he sees nothing but food when he looks at a serbians arms.Open Controls
Tell that to Suarez. 11 goals, 3 assists in his last 4 against them.
Open Controls
im looking at bringing in and captaining kun depending on his performance against sunderland
Open ControlsSuarez
Open ControlsI want to go Aguero as well , can you see him play first on Wed ?
Will he even start V WBA ?
Can he play 2 (not even counting Sundays 20 mins) games so close together ?
Honestly right here right now I'm (c) Suarez (and I'm chasing) , Aguero is still a differential in his own right so let's take any points as a bonus right now is my opinion.Open ControlsWould love to (c) Aguero as well, but Suarez is certain to start + I think Pool will trash Norwich. Suarez (c) Aguero (vc) probably
Open Controls
Agreed, Aguero will still be held in cotton wool and could easily play from the bench, or play just 60 mins vs WBA.
Suarez all the way if you want to be safe.Open ControlsOut of all these comments this is the one that got me the most. Im keeping the armband on Suarez.
Couple that with all the reminders around Suarez utter hunger for goals and his record against Norwich and Im convinced.Open Controls
While you may argue that Suarez' goals previously vs Norwich don't mean anything, I disagree. Its not because of the mythical concept of form or anything else, but psychologically the Norwich defence and John Ruddy must be dreading facing Suarez.
Ordinarily a player's previous goals record against a club doesn't make much difference, but the fact Suarez has scored 3 hat tricks against them in such a short space of time must play on the minds of the defenders. It'll make them more wary of him, but that might just give him the space he needs to make something happen.
Equally, in his last game vs them when he scored four everything he did seemed to come off perfectly. The 40 yard volley, the mazy dribble and flick over the defence, etc. That gives him the confidence to go for these things more often.
Norwich are fighting for their lives, so there is a chance it could be very low scoring, but if the Norwich defence is porous you would expect Suarez to deliverOpen Controls
captaining aguero after that last game would be mental
Open Controls
Know Norwich is fighting for their lives, but how this could suddenly make them able to prevent a heavy defeat Vs Liverpool? I just saw the fighting Sunderland lost 1:5 to Tottenham recently.

Yaya tweet - Thank you for all the support! I am still waiting for the diagnosis... hoping to be back on the field soon! (11 hours ago, via Twitter for Android)
Presumably then he'll find out today what's up.
http://www.mcfc.co.uk/Teams/First-team/Midfielders/Yaya-ToureOpen ControlsHas anybody given any thought to the strategy for the next round of Fantasy UCL?
Clearly having a decent bench is almost impossible given the teams involved and relative player prices, so is it best just to focus on the starting 11 and forget the bench all together?Open ControlsThere's hardly any strategy left. Everyone has pretty much the same players.
Open ControlsYes, but there must still be ways to take gambles to climb the ranks.
For example, I may just load up completely on Chelsea and ATM defenders as I can see those games being very tight defensively.Open Controls
I realized that I have my WC still available..so used that..predict you final and keep players from those team...
Open ControlsTough games to predict though aren't they?!
Open ControlsI think I'm going to use the assumption of:
ATM vs Chelsea = Tight/Defensive
Real vs Bayern = Open/Attacking
.....and load up on the relevant players accordingly.Open ControlsGet Morata..Nice and cheap to be benched as well as Azpi...
Forwards I have chosen from Athletico and Real
Mids from all the clubs but Bayern and Chelsea depends on their mid players (Robben, Hazard for eg.)
Defence is just a punt..goals will be conceded try getting players who may get an assist or a header..Open Controls
It has been my strategy in past seasons, in fact I´m still carrying a 3.5 and a 4.0 player, giving me enough budget to have a playing sub.
Open ControlsIt all tends to go downhill though as I try to go for leftside players.
Open ControlsGot any tips for leftside punts in these semis?
I guess much depends on the fitness of Ronaldo, Hazard etc...if they don't make it a couple of interesting selections could be in the mix.Open ControlsShweinsteiger, Kroos, Lham(is playing in the midfield lately), Götze, Shürrle, Ramires, Luiz, Koke, Villa, Gabi, Isco, Di Maria...
Open Controls
Anyone played Zaha in their team?
What do you think of him?Open Controls
With just 4 GWs to go, it’s important not to be blinded by values. There’s an urge to bring in an 8.5 midfielder ahead of a 6.5, just because you can afford them. Fight that urge.
With such a small sample of games to go, there’s no longer a requirement to set your team up for the long haul. Turf out the expensive season-keepers – Coleman, Hazard and Lallana.
Concentrate on those who can hit a purple patch for you at this crucial stage of the season.
Frisking The Fixtures is a must-read, the double GW can’t be ignored, and look for players from the likes of City, Utd, Spurs, Arsenal, Stoke, Sunderland and West Brom.
Your ML positions will influence your strategy, but I need to make up 30 points on a team currently very similar to my own.
Eriksen is the most obvious example identified on this forum. He would be value at 9.0 right now and will be my (c) for GW35.
Others I am considering for the run-in are Adebayor, Nasri, Amalfitano and Chicarito. I will definitely have Arsenal and Utd players but waiting for their selection plans to become clearer.Open ControlsI end up with about 8.0M in the bank every season... Might not be the case this season if RvP or Rooney are fit.
Open Controls
if aguero scores tonight I am captaining him. need the diff.
Open Controlssuarez looks like getting sent off soon. gut says aguero for this weekend if he looks good tonight.
Open ControlsYeah..only if he looks good tonight (if he looks really good tonight, heck I will also captain him)...Rodgers must have explained Suarez..and against Norwich I doubt he will dive or anything..
Open Controls
Is it too early to bring Mata in this week, with the uncertainty surrounding Rooney and RVP's return?
Open Controls
Is it a bad move to go for Zabaleta? He got 9 yellows but if he don't receive one tomorrow he can`t be banned or have i misunderstood (Gerrard logic)?
Open Controls
The ten yellow threshold has already passed. It expired on Sunday.

Big night in my ML Wednesday. After foolishly taking a hit to do Hazard to Lallana & benching Ivanovic, I still managed to increase my lead by 2pts, so the A v B is...
A. Mariappa, Aguero, Lukaku (c)
B. YYT, Dzeko, Mirallas
Could go either way.Open Controls
