Continuing our members articles which examine the numbers behind the previous four Gameweeks, we now switch our attention to the midfield area. With a packed festive programme providing hat-tricks for Santi Cazorla, Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott, it was a period which again saw the heavy-hitting midfielder come to the fore. Incredibly, however, that trio were surpassed by the performances of a player who has rolled back the years to recapture a level of returns and consistency that we perhaps thought were behind him.
BA IS ROCKETING UP....
Open Controls
That he's rocketing up...
Open Controls
Soooo... My front 8 for the double DGW is as follows, though not sure who to bench for GW 22 and 23...
Mata--Michu--Santi--Bale--Walcott
Berba--Lambert--Suarez
Thoughts and insights appreciated as always!Open ControlsThats my question, thinking either Santi or Michu....
Open Controls
No RVP in fantasy is pointless
Open Controls
Which 4 of this 5 midfielders should I play in GW22?
1.Michu (eve) 2.Walcott (MCI) 3.Puncheon (avl and chel) 4.Bale (qpr) 5.Fellaini (SWA)Open Controls
Fellaini + Ruiz....play 3-5-2
or
Marveaux + Tevez....play 3-4-3
??Open Controls
Fellaini and Ruiz - effectively 3-4-3 anyway
Open Controls
I have to use my wildcard right?
Begovic - McCartney (injured)
Rafael - Johnson - Fonte (injured) - Shorey (out of favor) - Nelsen (Fooked off to the states)
Bale - Fellani - Silva - Walcott (DGW) - Puncheon (DGW)
RVP - Suarez - BerbatovOpen Controls
Nelsen plays this week.... big match for him, last time out 🙁
Open Controls
They really kinda are 😉
Open Controls
Johnson > Luiz/Ivan
Shorey > Mariappa/Harte
Nelson > Martin/Turner/Davies
McCartney > Federici
Hmmm... and that is just defenceOpen Controls
Fat fingers, slow typing = lost on last thread!
Should I be worried about lack of Chelsea cover for next game week given my team below. 0FT Left. 1.1m in bank.
4pt hit for the following?
? > mata
Caulker > azpi
Ruddy > turnbull
Thanks in advance!
Begovic (ruddy)
Gibbs, Clyne, Huth (Caulker, McCartney)
Fellaini, Michu, Bale (C), Ramirez (Noble)
RVP, Suarez, BerbaOpen ControlsThanks, you think azpi dgw is better than Gibbs dgw (I probably won't bring him back, will get Walcott in with the Ft
Open Controls
What do people think of my risk taking:
Mignolet and Federici
B Jones, Demel, Cuellar, Cameron (will become Wilson), Mariappa (will rotate 3 every week)
Mata, Walcott, Bale, Fellaini, Kacaniklic (will not play)
van Persie, Suarez, Dzeko
I will then eventually swap Dzeko for possiby Benteke then upgrade one of my defenders and then if prise rises go my way hopefully might get in another big hitting midfielder for Fellaini.
I know it is risky but I am 70 points behind in my league and will do anything to make up the gapOpen ControlsFellaini is a big hitting MF. And so is Michu.
Berba is a better shout than Benteke, though you could keep Dzeko for a while yet.
That defence will be a nightmare to manage.Open ControlsThe defensive fixtures are OK for the next 3 or 4 weeks but after that I believe it will get more difficult. Hopefully my front 8 will not need changing and can bring in cheap defenders with easier fixtures.
Thanks.Open Controls
what do we think Berbatov is going to get his week?
I am thinking of doing Berbs out for Lambert for -4.....Open ControlsAt Man City? F*** all, and a whole lot of it.
Open Controls
i wouldnt
im tossing up between them for my wildcard , might well go berbs , certainly wouldnt spend 4Open ControlsOh wait, sorry you said this week..... Hmmmm tough, would fancy him to get at least an assist.
Open Controls
A Cole or Aze? Who is more likely to start both matches this GW?
Open Controls
Re Ba price [top of page], can anyone clarify what's happening?
Open Controls
drop one of the following to the bench this gw
Walcott, Puncheon, Michu, Bale, Mata, RVP, Suarez, Lambert
Really confused 🙁Open Controlsis that your wildcard?
Open Controls
Puncheon
Open Controlsmichu or even suarez
Open Controlsthanks, all so confusing.
Maybe suarez but can see him scoring v united and michu, bale undroppable. Puncheon has DGW and walcott is the one I am looking at but city team is weaker so not sureOpen Controls
just do what RMT says lol

Mark?
I notice that the RMT function has a glitch. It is suggesting I bench Michu. Has the "never bench Michu" rule not been programmed in? I learnt this rule the hard way when they played Arsenal!Open Controls
😆 but think there is a glitch or two in there. In GW 24 (i think) it does tell me to bench Michu even though his projected points is well higher than others
Open Controls
Is it suggesting you play someone who has a much higher points potential but is unlikely to play.
Open Controls
It has several glitches, it assumes that two games are always better than one and that being away to Man U means you go into the red (Baines) 😉
Open Controls
Fell for now, both with the wc you've sensibly saved 😉
Open ControlsThis is proving to be my biggest headache this week aswell.
I'm gonna go with Fellaini for now, on the basis that his next 3 fixtures are probably better than Michu's. Plus Fellaini should be fresher as Michu has League Cup/FA Cup replay commitments.Open Controls
i think i'll fall on this side. what is your overall TV?
Open Controls106.1. You?
Open ControlsLucky thing, you can easily have them both. Only 103.2 for me. Not sure how I've made it up to 10k with so few rises.
Open ControlsI could... But not while I also have Bale, Mata, Walcott, RVP, Suarez, Ivanovic!
All of the above are more important to me than Michu right now... Hence why I had the headache of choosing either Fellaini or Michu.
Very nice rank btw.Open Controls
Asked earlier today, will ask one more time (sorry)
A) Ba & Demel, followed by Ba > Podolski for free
B) Luiz & Lambert, followed by Luiz > Demel & Lambert > Podolski for a hit
Can only do B) tonight, last chance saloon. My feeling is that I want Luiz more than Ba and can't have both.Open Controls
Defoe Apz > Ba, J.Evans?
Open Controls
Begovic - Turnbull
Luiz - Gibbs - Zabaleta - Harte - Demel
Puncheon - Bale - Fellaini - Walcott - Michu

Begovic - Turnbull
Luiz - Gibbs - Zabaleta - Harte - Demel
Mata - Bale - Fellaini - Walcott - Michu
Ba - Ruiz/Lambert - RVP
Appreciate any replies.Open Controls
I would say the first option but most people are predicting a huge mata haul.
Open Controls
Who has sold Suarez for Ba? Just a one week punt?
Open Controls
Will berbatov rise by Friday? Painfully slow nti atm.
