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….
Best and most nailed Reading defender for 3.8?

had a horrible holiday fplwise. dropped from top 1000 to out of top 5000. but now i have 2 free transfers this week and ba, punch, caz, gibbs, jussi, & demel for dgw action. so i can keep my january wildcard for gw24 and i still have my other wildcard to use later. like taking candy frim babies

Which two would you have this week out of Berbatov, Benteke, Ba and Lambert?
Open Controls
Berba Ba
Open Controls
Would you rather?
a) Azpi and Nolan
b) Luiz and JColeOpen Controls
Morning all, what's the chat? Main themes, trolls and transfers will do........
Open Controls
People panicking and triggering the wild card. All the cool cats are keeping their heads screwed on and waiting.
Open Controls
My attack:
Silva, Walcott, Hazard, Young, Puncheon
Benteke, RVP, Suarez
Plan: Young -> Mata and bench Silva. Then Hazard/Mata -> Santi next week.
Sound right?Open Controls
That great feeling when you make a shed loads of changes click the button sort your team into starting 11 and hand out the captains armband. just sit back now and watch my team value rise like a good thing.
Open Controls
what's your value dropped after all the changes 😉
Open Controls
Nighty night.

Please RMWCT:
Turnbull - (Cerny)
Luiz - Cameron - O'Brien - (Mariappa) - (Harte)
Walcott - Bale - Mata - Fellaini - Michu
Suarez - RvP - (4.2)
Feel pretty good about it. Plan is to swap Turnbull to Jaask once the DGW is over.
So 1.1m in bank leaves me with 0.1m to play with for the rest of the squad after getting Jaask.
Any flaws here or should I just go right ahead?
Thanks alot for any feedback!Open Controls
Reply failed. So I repost this: Sadly I only have Puncheon for the Dgw22. Is that worthing bringing Mata and Turnbull in for Silva and Jussi for a -4 hit?
Open ControlsYou'd lose Jussi for the next DGW then, which seems counterintuitive.
Open ControlsJussi has DGW next week. I wouldn't get him out. Mata yes.
Open ControlsAh, but you can't afford Mata without downgrading someone. I would sell Bego than.
Open Controls
Ok, so I am 0.5 short to do Silva > Mata. Two alternatives of Turnbull > Jussi are Berb > Lambs and Baines > Luiz. Which one should I go for?
Open Controls
just finished watching chelski soton match after skiing all day at kirkwood, about to start the united hammer match now with a nice cab and hot fire in the woodstove. life is good!
Open Controls
Who is doubling up on Chelsea defense?
Thinking about Turnbull+Ivanovic.Open ControlsTo be honest, I fancy Ivanovic more. More of a goal threat and Luiz had a very poor game against Southampton.
Open Controls
so what's the vibe on DEMBA for the DGW? i'm thinking all aboard. he's scoring for fun. why would torres even get a look in? if i was chelsea manager i'd play him in both games for sure!! talk me out of it...?
Open ControlsI think he'll get the 90 vs Stoke and 20ish vs Southampton. I have him so am keeping but not sure I'd take a hit to get him in
Open Controls
Tempted to use wc this week, however it ruins my intentions of setting up a solid team from now till the end of the season and I will be forced to gradually transfer out the dgwers and get in the players i want
Open Controls
If you score alot more then it's worth it.
Open Controls
Whats the general conscenus with regards to captaining David Luiz? Possible clean sheet, possible penalties and free kicks, set piece threat in the air??? Whose with me???
Open ControlsWhat are your other options?
Open ControlsTurnbull
Luiz * Harte * Fonte
Fellaini * Mata * Michu * Walcott * Bale
RVP * Suarez
subs * Jaask * POG * Demel *DaviesOpen ControlsMata for me mate. Nice lineup!
Open Controls
Cheers lad nice rank and team value btw. I started the season like a snail only found this site after gw7 i have a substantial bet with a friend as to who would finish the season with more points so first time I ever really took it seriously. I hear you on Mata. GW1 I had Ivanovic hit 24pts thinking Luiz could do something serious but as it stands Mata is already a differential over my rival so the smart thing would be captain Mata greed says Luiz.
Open Controls
Who are people edging towards between Ivanovic and Luiz?
Open ControlsIvan if I could afford him but Luiz a close 2nd
Open Controls
On vacation and have no news. so there is definitely a DGW for week 22? Why? and why doen't it show on the week 22 fixtures yet? Please bring me up to speed. Thx.
Open Controlsyou in tahoe don? i live on south shore. anyway, chelski soton match that was cancelled earlier in the season will be played next week
Open ControlsYes, Duffy , also in SLT. Though right now we decided to spend a couple of days in Monterey / Carmel to escape the cold temps. Was beautiful here today. Where do you live / work on the south shore?
Open Controlsi've been here 15 years now working for a software company named zephyr in roundhill on dorla court. live up on chimney rock. born in sf but me mum is from newcastle and me dads from manchester. so i'm both a geordie and a mankytwit.
Open ControlsUsed to live on Terrace View, middle Kingsbury. I'll buy you a cup of coffee just to chat with somebody with a great ranking like yours. My grav is a photo of a mural painted inside a SLT restaurant. .... Heidi's

A yay for me. Doing exactly the same thing.
Open Controls
Midfield: Mata, Bale, Fellaini, Michu, (Sterling)
A) Sterling > Puncheon for the DGW, benching Michu (-4)
B) Play Michu with Mata, Bale, Fellaini, bench Sterling
Leaning towards B, but what say you?Open ControlsB and captain Mata
Open ControlsCaptained Mata last and he bit me in the butt with a 2, but think I'll deffo give it another go. He's on fire atm.
Rafatation 🙁
Will stick with Sterling. He's set to drop soon though, and since I bought him late I'd rather make a 0.2 profit rather than 0.1Open Controls
B. Mata (C).
Open Controls
Will Luiz double rise before next GW?
Open ControlsDDGW dark horse candidates.
Ba - If he plays a significant part in both DGW fixtures he could easily become the top point scorer for the game week. All eye's on Rafa's lineups then
Cahill - The Terry injury looks complicated and there's a very high chance he will miss both games. Cahill has a knack for scoring goals at set pieces so he could have a very strong game week
Ramirez - Comes in at a great price and is the main creator in the Saints midfield with Lallana out.
J Cole - Could he come out of no where to announce himself as a fantasy candidate? His FA cup performance suggests he can.
Giroud - Played well recently and could be in line to return to the starting lineup. His two goals as a sub against Newcastle just shows what he's capable of.Open ControlsA few other players without DGW's could also do well in the next few weeks, those using their WC's may miss out on the potential offered by the likes of Bale, Fellaini, Michu, Tevez, Baines. Just to name a few
Open ControlsThe thing with Ramirez is without Lallana Soton's attacking potential has been greatly reduced. He's crucial for them. Still a good option though.
Open Controls
I agree with Berbilly. I think Ramirez potential for points has been greatly reduced because of the absence of Lallana. I'm sure there are some other better options.
Open ControlsPuncheon is as well but he would be the popular pick I guess so not much of a dark horse.
Open ControlsI got rid of Puncheon a few weeks ago because of the unfavorable fixtures for Soton.
Open Controls
Last 2 game's he's played: 7,10
Will quite possibly end up double figures IMOOpen ControlsBut look at Soton's goals in the last 7:
1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 3, 1
That's only 7 goals, and they have 2 away games. I wouldn't be expecting huge hauls from Soton players this GW tbh, but I'll happily play Puncheon and Ramirez.Open Controls
Ba no longer an out side bet.....he's full......
Open ControlsI plan to have 3 of these
Open Controls
If Giroud is back up top for the City game and tomorrow even. I might get him in. His stats from last season show he CAN be explosive.
Open Controls
Hiii... Will there be any price change before the deadline for
Hazard and Cazorla..??Open ControlsI do not think so.
Open Controls@Sreenathjm.

Open ControlsNo.

11 years, 3 months agoSo what should I do? Got both WC's free,
Ruddy -> Turnbull this week, then GJ-> Sagna the week after?
