With week by week statistics available on our test servers (soon to be rolled out to our Members), I thought it would be a good time to demonstrate some of the analysis this affords Fantasy Managers by examining some of the key player statistics from the weekend.

Breaking things down by position, the statistics offer valuable insight on the weekend’s performers, in addition to revealing the potential on offer by some new potential targets…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    For a bit of interest I looked up this GW's All-star lineup (before tonight's game). It is a massive 170pts with the players involved adding up to a paltry 74.0m. It means nothing, but a bit of a laugh.

      Cahill is off for the Asian cup in a couple of weeks time so I wouldnt recommend it only for a few games. I would definitely upgrade defence though - I have my eye on Kolarov as do many on here. City have a good run coming up. In fact I already have Boateng so am thinking of doubling up.

      Same question here. My frontline stands at Chamakh, Torres and Elmander and I want to sub Chamakh for Tevez especially as Van persie is going to be eased back in. But that means a 4 point hit this GW, or risking Tevez having a good game vs Stoke and value rising further. Unsure what to do.

      For now. Newcastle are without Collocini and Drogba would have had a hattrick had it not been for Foster. Drogba's gonna raise hell on some team soon, you can juse sense it, and that in turn should bring his form back up to scratch

      My only concern is that Man City have very tasty fixtures coming up and I can't afford Tevez without either getting rid of Drogba or re-shuffling my whole team around, taking points hits. Definitely keeping Drogba for this week anyway

    For FPL defenders...are full backs generally much more popular than centre backs? I am heading towards an all-full-backs defence of:

    Coleman(RB/RM), Konchesky(LB), Kolarov(LB), Bardsley(RB) and either Boswinga(RB) or Rafael(RB)

      Full backs - Assist potential + cheaper (usually)
      Centre backs - Bonus + goal potential

      But some full backs don't fit the norm, so they tend to be the ones that people go for.

      A. Cole gets bonus and is the most regular starter in the Chelsea team, hence his massive price.

      Coleman is OoP so barely counts as a full back.

    Having watched the game last night, I think all non-Kolarov owners should consider themselves a bit lucky that he only got a 2 pointer. Could have easily scored that 1-on-1, could have at least 2 assists, and was on a number of set pieces including half the corners. I usually stand by the "no 4pt hit for defender" rule, but I'm seriously considering it this week, not least because I need to play 1 of Jara / P Jones / Elmo. I can afford to bring him in for any of those 3. Anyone else considering it?

      I would certainly think about it if you have to play one of those 3!

      It could pay off, but Stoke have scored in every home game they've played this season, so he probably won't get a cleanie.

      Do it if he's about to go up in price, if not, don't.
