Monitor – Marouane Fellaini & Michu

The two most popular midfield options in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, Michu and Marouane Fellaini have stumbled over the last few Gameweeks in terms of attacking returns. Over their last five appearances, Michu has treated his 49% owners to just one goal and a single assist, while Fellaini’s 34% owners have received only one assist, though the Belgian has somewhat redeemed himself by collecting five bonus points in the last two matches.

Nevertheless, their recent lack of form is something of a worry. Although both have mainly been utilised in their usual role in “the hole” for Swansea and Everton respectively of late, Michu has also been fielded as the lone striker, while Fellaini has dropped deep into central midfield on occasion, as highlighted in the second-half of last Monday’s goalless draw at Southampton and Saturday’s FA Cup trip to Bolton. The duo have continued to rack up the transfers in over the last few days, though; Fellaini is third most popular midfielder ahead of next Tuesday evening’s deadline, with over 43,000 FPL managers snapping up his services, while Michu’s bandwagon rolls on relentlessly, with 30,000+ new owners finding a place for the Spaniard in their 15-man squads.

We take a look at each player’s recent form, comparing their displays to previous performances in order to ascertain whether there’s been a reason for a sudden shortage of Fantasy points:

            quite a few too many uncertainties there in my opinion
            DeGea may be dropped, even a new goaie may come in yet
            Bunn may only play 3 or 4 more games all season
            Azpilicueta may not play all games
            Nastacic may not play all games
            Marveaux will not get much mor gametme in my opinion
            Ba 50/50 to start
            Aguero 66/34 to start

            A few of these are ok, but 7 is too many I believe

    Do we think Gerrard has been fortunate FPL-wise this year or is he looking the real deal performance wise? I haven't really been paying attention to him much and at this stage I would love to add him or Silva to the team as a slight differential.
