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.

    Best two midfielders to replace Cazorla and Sterling ? Have 14.9 to spend between the two.

    Plan this week was originally to bench Theo and play Sterling. Pienaar against Wigan is looking a decent prospect though, who do you think will score more:

    stk(Sterling) NEW(Walcott) sot(Walcott) or

    Pienaar – WIG CHE new

      I'd say 1 or 2 appear to be better than the point hit for 3/Bale

      Perhaps worth considering Taarabt as a short-term option, instead of Snodgrass/Pienaar?

            Well who cares about Berb, u have plenty of dead wood in your team. Make them first priority. U might keep Ba after all. I presume having Pog is part of the strategy not wasting pts on the bench, but Jenk and Rangel are worrying. Wait u know what, u r lucky with being patient. One Jenk start during the festive period won't surprise me. Also Rangel could be back too. Too bad u went Yaya captain. Go as u plan.

    sorry to repost, not sure how many people go through every page of comments on here, and i want to get my transfers dont tonight! 😀

    Demel, O’Brien, Gibbs, Johnsson, Figueroa

    Silva, Mata, Puncheon, Cazorla, Kacanilik

    Tevez, Suarez, Torres

    Obviously need to get rid of at least one of my defenders, and also want to get Bale in, probably for Cazorla. Just wondered if any of you had any advice, also with a potential transfer in for berba for a bit of a gamble. Only have 1 FT and 0.4 in the bank.

      If you can afford probably worth waiting for news on Rafa and possibly Shorey mate. They're both a bit unknown atm

    What do you guys think about this team:
    Bego (Foster)
    Zab Enrique Turner (McCartney) (Clyne)
    Mata Silva Michu Puncheon (Nolan)
    Berba RVP Suarez
    0.0m in the bank and already used my FT. Anything else worth a hit?

        I was going to bring him in for Walcott but the Arsenal game was postponed 🙁

          maybe double up on Swansea midfield for a weekseeing that Michu is basically a striker now, and bring in walcott the week after? Tough choice this week due to the Arsenal game being called off

      Flood warnings scattered all over the UK. The most severe is in Cornwall which doesn't apply to the PL. Things could get worse but I don't see any games being affected too badly.

    Every rollover week we get for these 4 yellow cards just rises the stakes of them all getting one at once. That's quite the list there now on the right. Who else winced a bit when Michu went lunging in for a tackle on Carrick with both feet?

    What do we think of Sturridge as a FF asset after the move to Liverpool goes through?
    Was good for me under AVB last year. Only 7.3m

      Definitely one for the watch list for maybe the first fortnight. If he's locked into a central starting role, he'll be a great get!

    This is my second season. Twice in a row I've been eliminated from the cup by a mere point. I guess now I'll just live free and do all the transfers I want with this big ML gap...

    Taraabt, Silva, Mata, Michu (Sterling)

    Is that a good enough mid for this GW?

    I did promise myself I'd get Pi in when he hit form and was at a bargain price, but I don't want to get rid of anyone.

    I have so many players on 4 yellows in my team that has made me re-think getting bale and might switch to mata instead.

          I think RVP gets benched for one home game and Rooney for the other. Problem is we won't be able to predict who it is for the first game.
