Continuing our round-up of the Christmas period, it’s time to treat our members to a series of articles which examines each of the positions and analyses the form of the key protagonists over the past four Gameweeks. We start in defence, by casting an eye over the top tens for our ICT Index, plus a more in-depth look at the main performers in terms of goal threat and creativity….
I don't think Southampton players are good picks, even with DGW. And not for a hit.

Needed a hit, but I like it!Open Controls
They prefer the relegation dogfight to a cup game

i'm 0.1 short for luiz and was going for Acole but there seems to be some azpi love on here . Is he nailed on ? so who's the better choice, cashley or azpi ?
Open Controls
Arrrrgh! Just hit confirm on the wildcard. Sod it, its only a wildcard. Spunked my other one after 4 weeks or something, and that worked out OK.
The next 7 days are gonna be fun!Open Controls
😮 I'm half tempted but I think my team is nice as is 😕 I only have Mata and Punch for the double though
Open ControlsI only had Puncheon. Plus Olsson dropping, Cuellar and O'Brien possibly injured. I think I can stick broadly to what I was planning with my post-GW23 plan but also rope in some Chelsea cover which looks fairly essential.
There's the argument that you can use it to adapt to any transfer window changes I guess, but I dot quite buy that as it normally takes a few weeks to see how they bed in, plus there may not actually be that many major moves.
Overall I think I've made the right call.Open ControlsYeah Jonny new signings usually disappoint in fpl terms. I'd just like to be able to set up for the season with it and not sure I'd want to be swamped with Chelsea, Arsenal, West ham and Southampton. Good luck mate. You got a draft to post?
Open Controls
im not sure how much you could improve that team right now.
Open Controls
Gotta be the shortest notice for a dgw in my 5 seasons. Usually I love em and with time to plan get some nice green arrows but this one has me stumped. What do ya's reckon of this lot?
Mignolet
Gibbs Cuellar Demel
Bale Walcott Mata (c) Punchy
Suarez Rvp Berbatov
Foster Taarabt Shorey Davies
1FT 0.4
Was planning to roll over my ft for arsenal/hammers next week. I'm struggling to see any other Chelsea that would be worth bringing in with my freebie 😕Open Controls
Cuellar injured no?
Open ControlsYeah I've heard that. Do we have confirmation?
Open ControlsNot that I've seen.
Like your team BTW.Open Controls
Foster -> Turnbull? possible 2 CSs
Open ControlsWas thinking of that. Problem is it would mean one less arsenal/west ham player next week or if I get too in essence Foster > Turnbull would be costing me 4 points. Also I have Mig with a good fixture already. 😕 I'm stumped.
Open ControlsYou can also do Migs-> Turnbull and have Foster for next with good fixture.
Open ControlsMaybe with that one you can do Cuellar->Azpi if he's injured. I don't think you need improvement up front. And it's probably best not to go for hits as you can't afford big Chelsea defenders. I kinda got lost.
Open Controls
I think its too early to play the WC. Its like playing it after GW1 so many will regret doing so. Teams are changing, end of the month will give a better picture.
Open ControlsI have to agree and this is how I think I'll line up.
I'll just cross my fingers and pray Chelsea don't score and concede.
Jaask
Demel – Vert – Evra
Mata* – Michu – Sidwell – Sterling
Berb – Suarez – RVP
Davis – Nolan – Cameron – Enrique
*FTOpen Controls
Sleeping after this, any last thoughts before the price changes?
A) Foster > Turnbull & Olsson > Azpilicueta -4
B) Foster > Turnbull & Johnson > Luiz -4
OLSSON falls in price tonight.Open Controls
B - jonson has tough fixtures and luiz is a bigger goal threat and more nailed on
Open Controls
Snodgrass free kicks are disgusting
Open Controls
Wildcard for gw22-23:
Che - Ivanovic, Luiz, Mata
Sou - Lambert, Puncheon
Whu - J Cole, Demel, Jaask
Ars - Gibbs, Walcott
Use 2 freebies gw24
Use wilcard no.2 for gw25.
Look alright?Open ControlsActually probably don't need wc no.2 for gw25 looking at the team I could field...
Open ControlsSee above.

Anyone getting Ba concerned he's not Capital One Cup-tied?
Open Controls
Is he cup tied??
He has been confirmation he is Europa Cup tied but not seen confirmation re Capital CupOpen Controls
He should be. It's an FA sponsored competition and Ba already played for Newcastle. Ba could play today in the FA cup because he obviously had not previously played for Newcastle in the FA cup.
Open ControlsHe's not played for Newcastle this season in the CC Cup.
He can therefore play for Chelsea. No?Open Controls
A) Hazard and Shaw
B) Fellaini and Azpilicueta?Open Controls
If FPL gave everyone two additional free wild cards which could only be used this week and next would you put in 6 DGW players each week?
Open Controls🙂
Open Controls
Anyone think G Johnson will go up before the next GW ?
Open ControlsAnyone else WCing this week considering doubling on Demel and O'Brien? If fit then they should both be pretty nailed on right?
Open Controlsnot worth it. if u use your wildcard make sure u dont have to do much cleaning up afterwards. plan more than just the dgws
Open ControlsProbably right. I have the other WC saved also so could do a mass clear out in GW24, but am swaying towards saving it for hopefully more DGWs later in the season. Whatcha reckon?
Open Controls
- Open Controls
I have finally decided to wildcard .. check this out .
Begovic bunn
Gibbs azipu o Brian fonte Cameron
Bale Walcott Michu Mata puncheon
Rvp ba Lambert
First DGW I play 5 DGW players
Azipu fonte Mata puncheon and ba !!
Seclong DGW I play 3 DGW players
O Brian Walcott and Gibbs or can even bring in Cazorla for Mata in that gameweeek ???Open ControlsI've turned Beg in to Jaask. I'll put it back with my other w/c down the road but with save points and potential cleanie vs QPR he could be a decent shout.
Open ControlsWas thinking bout that myself ! It's a good shout no doubt ! But with Begovic form am thinking jus keep him not worth the headache of trying to get him back
Open Controls
Gonna change him for Berbatov ! Gonna see how ba does and how much he us rotated but more than likely bring in berba or Cisse fir him
Open Controls
who will you be benching is what I'm wondering?
Open ControlsFor the first gameweeek DGW am thinking bench Walcott Michu .. I have no other choice ! SECOND DGW I bench Lambert or puncheon ! Do u think it's worth it ??
Open Controls
Which 3 players from Chelsea would you like to have for this DGW?
Mata, Hazard & Luiz?Open Controls
Bunn out for Turnbull worth a -4 ?
Currently have Luiz punch and clyneOpen Controls
It would take 2 CS for Chelsea to compensate the hit, otherwise you'd get 2+2 with 1 CS or -2+2 with no CS. Very unlikely to happen but you never know.
Open Controls
So, Ba scored a hat-trick away at Stoke last year. And he's at home to a leaky SOT defence without their main CB. Getting harder to resist him by the minute.
Open Controlsif he was nailed on to play both. you really think torres wil sit on bench for both games?
Open ControlsNah, he'll play some for sure.
Looking at their fixtures, Torres will probably play in the Carling semi final on Wed, then Ba at Stoke, and then maybe Torres again at home to SOT. Hmm. Although, Rafa has hinted he may play them both together.Open Controls
If anything torres will play one prob southampton and ba the other - stoke
Open Controls
I must admit a bit of jealousy towards Ba owners but I'm happy with my front line.... for the time being.
Open ControlsDeciding between Ba, Luiz or Azp for my 3rd CHE player (to go with Turnbull and Mata). Tough decision!
Open ControlsIf you're wildcarding, I couldn't not play Mata and Hazard, prob with Turnbull.
Open Controls
Why ? I've got BA plus Rvp and Suarez. If he was still at newscatle then fair enough as he was nailed on including pens. He's way too expensive to be on the bench
Open Controls
Which one of these for the DGW?
A) Ivanovic & Luiz
B) Luiz & Hazard
C) Ivanovic & Hazard
Already have Mata. Thanks 🙂Open Controls
My current front 3 is RVP--Suarez--Berba and its served me very well the last few GWs. If i was to WC my front 3 would likely become RVP--Tevez--Lambert. Suarez and Berba's fixtures may not be great but my WC attack isn't inspiring. It's the main thing stopping me click the button. Stick or twist?
Open ControlsI'm thinking of doing Aguero > Lambert but is there any other strikers I should be looking at? Feels a bit forced because of the DGW...still think Lambert is the player to have for Southampton.
Open Controls
That would be Suarez then? The obvious other choice if you're pursuing a big front 3 strategy.
I think it's fair enough to put normality on hold for the 2 dgws and Lambert is the obvious choice since you have Ba. It's next week's that's tricky: Poldi / Giroud / that new Brazilian WH are rumoured to be signing / The Mighty Carlton Cole.Open Controls
Who will score more in the next two GWs
Benteke
or
BerbatovOpen Controls
11 years, 5 months agoIs an 8 pointer to get Turnbull, Lambert and Pienaar for Bunn, Rodallega and Morrison worth it.
Then WC in GW24? Can get Walcott next GW for free.
