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….

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

    Would you rather keep Nelsen (leaving for MLS!) or Cuellar (injured rumour) ?

    A. Nelsen --> Azpil

    or

    B. Cuellar --> Luiz.

    You need to confirm the transfers you make as you go. The players that are currently confirmed and in your active squad will continue to attract price rises and falls in the normal way. You can catch (Ba) for example, let him raise by 0.2, then sell him to make profit of 0.1. Effectively ‘Playing the market’. Do not caught up too much in Team Value (TV) tho. Keep the players you want to keep, as it will cost you more if you want to get him back at the end of the WC window

    Hope it helps

    First we dunno if he will play both games in DGW.
    Second, what will you do with him after DGW? Wasting a GK spot in my opinion. I dont get that bandwagon.

        Yes I think he was a bit harshly treated to be honest up at Oldham a good appointment in my opinion.

            Might not be pretty at times T.T (think Stoke) but its a results business and he will prob get you a few good results

    Jaask-Turnbull

    Sagna-Demel-O'Brien-Clyne-A.Cole

    Fellaini-Mata-Walcott-Puncheon-Michu

    RVP-Suarez-Lambert

    This is my wildcard team.

    Thinking of doing Puncheon to Noble and Lambert to Giroud, but if I do the latter I will have to downgrade A.Cole to Azpilicueta

    What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

      Giroud waste of time bro ! Try and get berba in there ! Marveaux is a great shout for Bexar 4 or 5 weeks ! He takes all the free kicks and corners

    I probably won't sell unless he's injured, but out of interest, at what price do people think RVP becomes worth selling? Looking like rising to 14.1m in the next day or so....

      I wouldn't sell him. The extra profit wont make up for his hauls and consistency.
