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.

    With only Mata this week, is Turnbull, Shaw, Hazard in for Federici, Zabaleta, Fellaini worth an 8 point hit?

        Okay, thanks.
        And what about only Shaw and Hazard in for Zaba and Fellaini for 4 points?

        Zabaleta plays Arsenal away...?

        It's only short-term, I plan on WC'ing in GW24

    Reason I ask is because Tevez could be a great shout if it's long term !

    Anyone considering Collins for the DGW? Offers a bit more going forwards than Reid/Demel/Tomkins and is fairly nailed on if I'm not mistaken? Considering doubling up with Demel myself....

      Will be 2 out of 3 from Tomkins, Collins, Reid at CB. Probably Tomkins dropping out.

      Scored 2 today but that was once in a blue moon. Save the money and keep Demel and maybe O'Brien if he is confirmed fit from his hamstring complaint. If O'Brien is out for a while then the LB Potts is just 3.9M and that could be a massive bargain.

      I think Evan;s is staying in that Utd team with Ferdinand to be the main loser
      Demel seems a sure starter when fit, esp with so many West Ham injuries right now

      However, I do see Ba playing 2nd fiddle more often than not to Torres
