On the eve of Gameweek three, our second Members article of the week arrives to examine the Attacking threat and Defensive security offered by each team to this point.

We delve into the Opta data available via our Team Statistics tables in our Members Area to discover which teams are conceding the most efforts on target and from which areas of the pitch. Similarly, we breakdown those teams offering the biggest threat in terms of goal bound efforts, examining conversion rates to find those who made the most of their sights of goal so far.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      If you're going to do that, do it tomorrow after the deadline. Gives you the most chance of catching double prices as lots of players tend to go up on Saturday night.

                Mate don't risk vdv as cap! I am a spurs man myself! Vdv is hit and miss sometimes so too risky
