The Big Numbers – Gameweek 18

Chelsea’s rout of the Villa back four generated some impressive statistics for Rafa Benitez’s men, whilst over the way in West London, Martin Jol’s Fulham are stacking up numbers on the other end of the spectrum. We take a closer look at the team statistics involved, along with a focus on the form of David Silva, Steven Pienaar and Demba Ba as we plunder the members area for the key statistics from Gameweek 18.

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

      I wouldn't get rid of Suraez personally. Having someone near enough garenteed to start every game over the next few weeks is like gold dust

    Plan currently is to take a 4 point hit to do Fletcher & Sterling> Berbatov & Sidwell, and then just the decision of having to play either Clyne or Cuellar.

    Good move?

          if you can see that, then do it at your own risk
          many want to get off of berbatrain though if not because of nice fixture

            it would only be for a few weeks before Jan WC. Despite the odd recent goal, Fletcher has not been great, and Sunderland are still looking very poor and not have great fixtures ahead

                yeh, its all about getting them on form at the right time. Taking a punt at two on Christmas usual not to harmful, as this is when the casual players forget to sort their team out at all.

                Team not too bad, Id just sort your bench out.

        not sure I can face getting back pienaar after getting rid just before this purple patch.
        Sidwell would be 5th midfielder, need someone slightly cheaper than Sterling, and he's a nice consistent bench (fpl) player that when needed looks reliable this season to get some points.

      Downgrade Defoe upgrade Sterling or v v. So it could then be .......& Mata etc or Torres and cheap defender. Personally i like the Torres route as he is starting to score goals.

    Evs, following on from your post about defenders... I don't think it's even about money, it's about recognising that you do need to pay attention to your defence, rather than just worrying about having this week's "must have" attacker. You can build a decent defence without breaking the bank, but you've just got to keep an eye on it and sometimes make a boring transfer when you'd rather make an exciting one.

      This my first year but that sounds like good advice.
      As my season has gone on my defence has got worse and worse, I hope to fix this post the next WC.

      Agree with everything you said there Johnny. Also, with a template coming in place, a defence is what will fetch those extra points.

          Something about all the points being in attack and how you went 4 weeks without a keeper earlier in the season...

      Yep, I kind of agree.

      Before the season started when there was all the ' who rotates the best at the back' and million of spreadsheets on the go, I just thought, right.... Whose decent at back.

      I went for 2 main guns (cole & zab), plus DDG in goal (ok that didn't go too well) with no other keeper and then the cheapest other 3 I could find to fill the final spot. Plan was to play cole and zab every game regardless of oppo and then see who could fill spot 3.

      Kind of doing that now but with Bego, Muthersucker and Enrique.

    But he is not playing Wigan .....although I admit Southampton are not so good, but they are tighter and will want to put in a performance after that Sunderland game.
