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.

      General consensus is that he's nailed on if Terry is out, which seems the case. If Terry comes back, there's a chance Iva will be pushed out to RB, but most likely scenario in my opinion is that Terry replaces Cahill and they keep the rest the same.

        This... there's capital one games midweek! Injuries and insight into Rafatation could happen. What if Mata plays 90 in the cup? Not saying he will, but if he does, that means he'll definitely miss one of the DGW-games... no way I'm pulling the trigger early on anything.
