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.
If he starts, then yes.

Luiz is my Chelsea defender of choice. What I am nervy about also is Cech coming in for Turnbull before the DGW is out. What do you think Chris?
Open Controls
Benitez admitted that Ivanovic is a center-back. I think he may rotate, but the first choice will surely be Azpi on the right and the Serb in the center.
Open Controls
Done with my wildcard team:
Begovic (Federici)
Luiz, Baines, Boyce (Collins,Turner)
Bale,Mata,walcott,Fellaini (KACA)
RVp, BA(C), Lambert
Is it ok?Open ControlsDowngrade Boyce and Collins to Davies and Demel.
Open Controls
get rid of Boyce.
He is awful 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,12,1,1,1,1,1,Open Controls
He is back in midfield now. I am tempted. Again.
Open Controls
Looks OK. Kaca is not guaranteed starts. And also, no Michu, I guess you don't own him?
Open Controls
yeah if Boyce around 4 instead of 5 then i would keep.. look at Shaw for DGW prehaps? im looking for a DEF for a around 4 to 4.5.. do you want Lambert for a quite a few GWs?
Open Controls
How's this look?
Begovic
Gibbs, Shawcross, Ruiz
Walcott, Mata(C), Fellaini, Michu
Suarez, Van Persie, Berbatov
Cerny, Sterling, Cuellar, DaviesOpen Controlsi'd be happy mate.. is that Luiz at the back?
Open ControlsWho is Ruiz? Luiz?
Open ControlsYea got auto corrected sorry
Open Controls
Looks good
Open Controls
ey lads
team this GW 1ft and 0.5 cash
Bego (jussi)
Gibbs,Demel,Shorey(nelsen,stam)
Santi Caz,Michu,Bale,Mata (c) (schnederlin)
RVP,Suarez,Benteke
thoughts on what i should do? not sure i need to WC just yet. Nelsen is as good as gone so I’m thinking with Shorey probably still not good to go and Stam a benchy, prob just go Nelsen >
a – Davies
b – jones
c – Clyne (is he good to go for the DGW)/Shaw
d – R Martin
e – Naughton (BAE due back?)
f – Dawson (still first choice?)
g – Mariappa (already have shorey)
dont fancy QPR shutting out Spurs hence why it might be time to say goodbye Nelsen this GWOpen Controlsa
Open ControlsC - Shaw
Open Controlsyeah not sure i want to be stuck with him after the DGW although Saints aint getting smashed since he's started.. could WC him out though..
Open Controls
D - beast 😉
Open Controlsvery impressive since he's come into the team.. he is a nailed on starter?? was he injured earlier on??
Open Controls
Would appreciate if you would help with subs and any changes needed
Jussi (Begovic)
Azpi, Demel, Clyne (Sagna,Mariappa)
Bale,Mata(c),Puncheon,Michu(Walcott)
RVP, BA, Suarez
0.5mil in Bank
ThanksOpen ControlsLooks ok although I think Azpi wont get both games in the DGW (or Ba...). Clyne poss injured?
Open ControlsShaw for Clyne? Only way I can get a Chelsea defender in don't really want to get Turnbull in
Open ControlsI went Turnbull for this week but Shaw's a decent option. The only think wrong with having a Southampton defender in for DGW is that you end up with owning a Southampton defender.
Open Controls
Anyone see Sunderland's FA cup tie? Did Cuellar look very injured? No news on him so far. I really don't want to have to replace him.
Open Controls
I've seen your Grav 50 times and I've only just got the joke! *facepalm.
I don't think anyone knows about Cuellar. Press conf. will help clear it up I'm sure.Open Controls
Cant wait for 14th January! New comment system coming!
Open Controls
Most people here wildcarding this week? Definately waiting after the DGW's here..
Open Controls
How nailed on is Azpi? Is he likely to make way with Terry returning?
Open ControlsSee top post on this page!
Open ControlsI can see him making way against Stoke as we will need as much physical presence as possible. If Terry does make it this weekend, Azpi will 100% play against Soton. Still worth a gamble if you ask me.
Open Controls
I can't make any profit on Berbatov > Lambert this week if I bought Berbs @ £7m can I?
Open Controls
Do we think Chelsea are keeping any cleanses this GW?
Open ControlsCleanies*
*Shakes fist at autocorrectOpen ControlsProbably 2.
Open ControlsOne.
Open Controls
RMUGW24WCT
Federici - Guzan
Baines - Wilson - Davies - Zabaleta - Demel
Michu - Fellaini - Walcott - Gerrard - Bale
Suarez - Rooney - RuizOpen Controlslooks good mate.
Keepers could be a bit hit and miss aka getting the right starter each week. Wilson ready to go? Sweet mids although i assume you don't mind having Ruiz as a benchy..
i like itOpen ControlsWilson should be ready by the end of the month.
Open Controls
Superb. Don't let the naysayers put you off.
Open ControlsThanks 🙂
Open Controls
No RVP 😉
I like it but I think RVP + Sturridge is better than Suarez + Rooney.
Do you think you would ever play Ruiz?Open ControlsI've learnt that we use our bench player a lot more than we plan too. I am tempted by this team i must admit, but i'm sure transfers will shake things up 😀
Open Controls
No RVP is just so risky.. And I wouldn't like to own Guzan.. but the midfield and defence is nigh on perfect.
Open Controls
My only concern is the lack of Aguero. I'd rather have Aguero and a cheap midfielder than Gerrard and Ruiz, although I guess the prices probably don't quite work.
Open Controls
Not been planning on WCing, but seeing all these posts is tempting the devil inside me. Got two WC's left, is it worth doing to do:
Begovic Foster
Hughes Cuellar OBrien Nelsen Gibbs
Michu Punch Mata Walcott Sterling
Defoe RVP Suarez
TO
Begovic Turnbull/Fed
Demel Davies RMartin Zabaleta Gibbs
Michu Punch Mata Walcott Fellaini
Berb RVP Suarez ???
So only changing two of my front eight.... Plan was to wait until the final week for transfers.Open ControlsNo way. That's a great team. Wait til the end of January.
Open ControlsCheers for that. That might be the slap in the face I needed to stick.
Defence is a mess, hoping for good news re: Cuellar/OBrien on Friday....
Are you WCing? Or staying strong with Torres???Open ControlsNot WCing. Might as well keep him for the DGW.
Torres -> Tevez for GW23.
WC after that.
I'm very light for the first DGW and well set up for the second.Open Controls
WC played, one final question - who to bench, Walcott or Cazorla?
Open Controls
Whom do I bench for this week?
Walcott, Puncheon, Michu, Mata, Bale
Berbatov, Ba, Suarez
And the rest of my team -
Turnbull, (Jaaskelaienen)
Martin, Harte, Fonte, Gibbs, Demel
Playing wildcard this weekOpen Controls
Anyone looked at Kilgallon as cut price way into reasonable defence?
Open ControlsHe will be playing alongside Titus Bramble.
That is all.Open Controls
A) Foster and Shorey -> Azpili and Turnbull 4 pointer
B) Just Cuellar -> Azpili and play Begovic
Question is:
Will Turnbull and Cuellar outscore Begovic and Wilkinson by 4 points?
Essential:
Can Stoke keep a cleanie against Chelsea?Open ControlsCuellar might not be fit, so wait to find out.
Open Controls
This is the week of questions
Will Ba this , will Mata that , how many minuites will luiz/\ /azpi/ ivanovich/ turnbull play
Should i get Lambert , what about Berb , oh wait i forgot about Suarez, Can i do without Bale.
Michu or Fellani , is it worth downgrading Bergovic , whens Chec back , is terry fit? Whats happened to Cuellar? Is Clyne nailled on is santa unreal gay
it just goes on and on and onOpen ControlsWhat is the meaning of life?
Open ControlsIt's the kind of stuff which drives people to the life of a monk. So much simpler.
Open ControlsFantasy football forum....
And yes I think he might well be gay 😉Open ControlsIts his cat i feel sorry for , packed up and left so i hear
Open Controls
Good evening fellas. How does my team looking for this GW?

Suarez RvP (vc) Berbatov
Begovic Sterling Cameron GorkssOpen ControlsScary good
Open ControlsNoice
Open ControlsYes
Open Controls
It's a good WC team. I agree it's the right time to get Baines back in (if fit).
You'll be stuck with only one keeper soon...only downside.Open Controls
Evening all, confied to the DZ with these exams... all over Friday then football ... thankfully.
Open ControlsWhat you studying?
Open Controls
wahey!
just managed to get password to take over a friends dead account....
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/433961/event-history/21/
now there is a project.....Open ControlsI wonder how many other teams have De Jong.
Open ControlsACTIVATE IT! NOW!
Open ControlsI did the same two seasons ago. It ended up a real pain in the arse because he kept checking every week and was like....why did you sell Carroll?....Why didn't you captain Adam?
I eventually told him to furk off and just do it himself again!Open Controlsoh he doesnt care - he is in Tasmania and likes LFC and is well into sport but doesn't know PL well enough really.
Should be fun I wont spend too long worrying about it
[FAMOUS LAST WORDS]Open Controls5 minutes on a Friday night job!
You should aim for top 100k, should be do-able with wise use of the 2 WCsOpen Controls
Seeing as how everyone seems full of answers at this time of night...who should I bench out of this lot?
Bunn Turnbull
Gibbs Shaw Evra Demel Shawcross
Walcott JoeCole Cazorla Mata Puncheon
Lambert Van Persie BaOpen ControlsWhy is everyone saying Cech might be back?
Open ControlsJermaine
Open Controls
Chico > Azpi > Gibbs
or
Reina > Turnbull > Sczezscnzny
...for the next 2 GWs?Open ControlsNot if you ask me...
Open Controls
Christmas exam results back.. over 90% in 3 out of 4, so a work placement in Europe or the U.S is secured 😀
The farm and football shall be missed next year but it's a great opportunity.
Anyhow... heads up to anyone getting Lambert I think he's going to rise, his NTI is higher than the Target NTI. Also Luiz is about a 1000 off rising.Open ControlsThat's brilliant, congrats Gimli!
Open Controls
All you on wildcard can you please all buy him for the next hour or so
Sick of seeing his name at the top of the FISO listOpen ControlsSnod that is
Open Controls
11 years, 3 months agoTerry will replace Azpi. Mark my words.
