Continuing our members articles which examine the numbers behind the previous four Gameweeks, we now switch our attention to the midfield area. With a packed festive programme providing hat-tricks for Santi Cazorla, Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott, it was a period which again saw the heavy-hitting midfielder come to the fore. Incredibly, however, that trio were surpassed by the performances of a player who has rolled back the years to recapture a level of returns and consistency that we perhaps thought were behind him.
logic says b but azpil may not play both games and i think luiz is going to score big

Clark - Bennett - Baker - Lowton
N'Zogbia - Delph - Bannan Agbonlahor
Benteke - Weimann
Guzan - Lichaj - Ireland - Bent
How many points you think I'll get between now and the end of the season?Open ControlsAaargh, this endless tinkering is getting frustrating – come saturday come!
For gw23
a) Ruiz + Luiz
b) Lambert + Azpli
Gotta be b) right?
Plus side for a) is that I could easily do Luiz => Rafael for gw24 tough, or might Luiz even end up to be someone to hold on for future too..Open Controlsre-post...
Mignolet (Tremmel)
Cameron, Mertesacker, Demel (Davies, Nelsen)
Walcott, Bale, Puncheon, Mata (Snodgrass)
Suarez, Van Persie, Ba
Have 3 DGW players (Punch, Mata & Ba … Walcott, Merte, Demel) for next 2 weeks.. used my other wildcard in November.. should I use my Jan WC now or after GW23? what would you suggest? ThanksOpen ControlsWelbeck on loan to Reading & Nelsen to stay at QPR til the end of the season is the two rumours I'm hearing today.
Any truth?Open ControlsREPOST!!!
rmt guys!
tried going for what i think are the 3 most nailed on chelski players. and i fancy them for a double cleansheet
szcesny rudd
sagna ivan luiz harte demel
mata fellaini michu guthrie bale
rvp lambert jelavic
also i know people are gonna give me grief for jelly but i reckon his next 4 games will prove fruitfulOpen ControlsIMO.. hold on to Ivan & Szcesny and ship out Luiz & Sagna.. no point in holding on to 2 defensive players from same team.. you could spend it on Man Utd or City defenders..
Open ControlsDid you just say Guthrie? And what is up with that keeper combo?
Like the jellavic puntOpen Controlsjust planning on having one keeper and bringin in wilson when he is fit. i can upgrade lambert so wont need the other mid hopefully and cant afford the team without having guthrie in. hes playing now as well. just really fancy cs for chelski and ivan and luiz provide some security with starts plus attacking potential
Open Controls
thanks! you think like I think, I think 🙂
Luiz is the one player I'm scared not to have if I go b - can see a goal for him in double.
A gives me only 8 for double, 3 che, 3 ars and shaw + demel.Open Controlsthen someone of michu, fellaini, bale, mata, walcott needs to go
I am actually thinking to go without bale for next couple of weeks..Open Controls
Doos, do not bench Berbatov. He scored a hat-trick against em Latics last season if i remember correctly.
Open ControlsJust wondering who people are expecting to be relegated.
Can't see Reading or QPR escaping. Think Villa vs Wigan on last day could decide the last spot.Open ControlsI think Villa will go out..
Open ControlsNot Sunderland
(please)
🙁Open Controlsfan? second fav team?
Open ControlsSunderland will be alright i reckon 😀
Any sign of your cat mate?Open ControlsSadly not I'm afraid, we've put up signs all over the street and can only hope he comes back soon 🙁
Thanks for asking mateOpen ControlsDublin, Ireland
Open ControlsI was never sure cos the times you be on 😉
If you wanna link an online version of the "missing" poster I can spread it around facebook. I've mates right across Dublin, can't hurt to try.Open ControlsHaven't got an online version of it but that's a great idea. Very kind of you to offer to do that but I wouldn't want to put you out of your way, thanks for the tip mate, appreciate it 🙂

Did D.Bent play v Bradford?
Open ControlsRe-post due to shabby response.......
The Terry & Cech chat is giving me slightly cold feet with my 4 x Chelsea WC. Team:
Tacobell
Asspiss – Gibbs – Demel
Mata (c) – Bale – Walcott – Punchy
RVP (vc) – Ba – Berbs
Begofish – Michu – Davies – Fonte*
My worries are Tacobell, Asspiss and Fonte. Everything else is fine. Happy to consider moving to 3 x Chelsea if I can sort Fonte and Asspiss (biggest concern from the Che def, bar Cahill, I think).
1.9m cash in da attic…….thoughts please?
Guess just best to wait to see who plays today?Open ControlsI have same che 4 in my current team, but also O'brian and Cuellar so it looks like I have to go for 3 che - propably means dumping Turnbull and maybe azpli to luiz, not sure on that one yet.
No room / love / loveroom / room to make love for fellaini?Open ControlsYeah, see how today goes. If you have the 4 in now i'd be tempted to stick.
Whats the next transfer planned?Open ControlsMaybe Cazorla and/or Noble in for next week's double.
Or Saurez in for Ba depending on how he goes in the next three (Swa, Sto, Sot)
make sense?Open Controls
Wait for news. If I hear nothing more about Cech, then I'll be getting Tacobell in, as well as 'Azar. Taking a punt this week me thinks.
Open ControlsThose are a ting of beauty. 🙂
Open Controls
wt do u think Lambrt C ?
he may score aginst vill easily and he score v.s biggest clubs ( chelsea)Open ControlsJust glad we have two premiership teams playing footy tonight. Looking forward to the scouting.
Open ControlsWhat do you think the lineup will be?
Open ControlsAbsolutely no idea whatsoever Martin.
Open ControlsTurnbull
Azpilicueta Cahill Ivan Cole
Luiz Lampard
Moses/Ramires Mata Hazard
Torres
?Open ControlsWould not be surprised to see Marin/Oscar in there.
Open ControlsIsn't Moses off to part the waters already? 😉
Open ControlsYeah the Welsh waters of Swansea... 🙂
My bad...Open Controls
Luiz could be benched and Ramires may start alongside Lampsy.. I think Moses is off this weekend for ACON.. so he may start as well..
Open Controls
Does anyone know the likelihood of Suarez rising in price before the weekend?
Open ControlsNot high, but has a chance
Open Controls
Is R Martin of Norwich is Ricky Martin? How nailed is that guy?
Open ControlsAnyone in here see an argument for Sessegnon over Fellaini long term?
Sunderland has good fixtures and I could see Sess being a great differentiator. Seems as though everyone is on Fellaini. He's only 0.2 cheaper than Fellaini, but could he be a nice surprise?Open ControlsI like his fixtures a lot
Open Controlsgood luck
Open ControlsThe deciding factor for me is the rest of the team. Sess is a decent player in a mediocre team. If Sunderland buy well this month then maybe, otherwise I can see him getting as many chances as Fletcher is getting (very few)
Open ControlsPoint taken. Just feels like everyone goes Fellaini but he's got his own issues and isn't a lock to produce back half of the season. I just have a gut feeling that Everton may fade and Sunderland may climb further up the table with Sessegnon rounding into form.
Open ControlsIf they do then its a winning strategy, and if you're behind it could be a worthwhile gamble. If you;re on top in your leagues then I'd personally stick with Fellaini, who's form vs pitch time is great and is much cheaper than similar options. One thing about Moyes is he keeps his players working till the end of the season.
Open Controls
Good to see Chelsea having their mid-season flip-out. They don't make it easy for themselves....so much public laundary....
All this talk of Lamaprd, Terry & Cole all out in the summer is just nuts...Open ControlsAnd another one.
Who's the nailed on striker on Citeh while Aguero's out? Dzeko or Tevez?Open ControlsWith no chel/saints cover, what option would you recommend
A: rafael >> luiz
B: cueller + suarez >> luiz +ba/lambert (-4)
C: cueller + berbs >> luiz + lambert (-4)....but taking out berbs when they playing wigan@home:-/
D: sterling + suarez >> mata + lambert (-4)...but no chel defender who might keep a csOpen ControlsTerry will replace Azpi in the DGW at some point, I believe...
Open Controlsagree
Open Controlsbut its not definite
Open Controls
He'll replace Cahill in my wishful opinion.
Open ControlsNo idea why everyone's obsessed with CHS defs when T'bull will do a job for you.
Open ControlsI have TB but Im nervy with Cech back in training.
Open Controls
who is best to partner begovic for the rest of the season, guzan or federici?? im leaning more towards guzan due to save points. also is dzeko worth getting in as a third striker..I have around 7.5 in the bank and not convinced on berba's returns...
Open ControlsFederici as he's cheaper and you'll almost never play him.
Open Controlsha, great minds think alike.
Open Controls
What about Bunn?
Open Controls
And Arshavin? Reading are staying up!
Open Controlsfergie will rubbish that report... unless they bring in lewandowski... dun really think fergie will only have 3 striker on his squad
Open Controls
Alright, here it is. My first RMWCT.
Mingnolet - Turnbull (Fed)
Davies - Demel - Turner/Wilson - Gibbs - Cameron
Michu - Fellaini - Walcott(Bale) - Mata - Punch
RVP - Ba(Suarez) - Berba
The people in brackets are who I will end up with eventually. (I've got money in the bank, lots of it)Open ControlsAh, beautiful ubers.
Nice team CS. How much in the bank?Open Controls3.5
Open Controls
Very interesting this one. I like the one big defender and spend the rest bit.
How about Lambert(Berbatov)Open ControlsCould do but I fancy Berbatov against Wigan.
I guess if I didn't have him so long, it'd be easier to just get Lambert, but seeing as I've been through all his 2's - I want to keep.
Definitely an option though.Open Controls
Nice d.
You see Ba getting serious gametime in the dgw?Open ControlsNot really, maybe 90-120 mins hopefully.
I'lll be getting Suarez straight after anyway.Open Controls
Thanks mate.
Open Controls
Current team. No Chelsea cover for the DGW.
Begovic, Tremmel
Bassong, Huth, Gibbs, Morrison, Gorkss
Michu, Fellaini , Yaya Toure, Morrison, Nolan
Suarez, Berbatov, Van Persie
1FT. 0.1 Bank.
Thinking Yaya+Morrison--->Mata+Puncheon. Thoughts?Open ControlsWalcott now 9.0 - think he'll rise again before Saturday? Going to trade him in for Bale then swap back next GW I reckon.
