With another seven days left until the deadline for Gameweek 4, there’s plenty time to ponder the numbers in our Members section. While some Fantasy managers still contemplate pressing the wildcard button, we take a look at some of the most notable attacking statistics on offer so far – in the first in a series of three articles, we begin with the defenders.
Was chatting to a friend yesterday who is leading my ML and 30 points more then
he asks he is not sure who go get between evra and coentro....WTF!! how can i be ranked 600k 🙁Open Controlslol *activates WC in disgust* 🙂

Early Bird Update
For those who have had a good start this season, this league is for you.
To qualify all you need is to have scored:
67 in GW1
49 in GW2 with no hits or 54 with a hit. More hits equals higher score needed.
48 with no transfers in GW3 or 54 with a hit.
Code is 58-338 for those who pass these three points.
223 qualified. Plenty get knocked out each week.

What has Mignolet got to do with it? haha
You argued Coutinho was 10x better than Sturridge and that Sturridge was the new Adebayor, not Mignolet.Open Controlsbest coverage from liverpool - mignolet
agree?Open Controls
Oh dear. I hope you realise there is a difference between attacking cover and defensive cover.
Open ControlsHe's hopeless. I shouldn't have bothered.
Open Controlsgoalkeepers are underrated in fpl
mignolet season keeper, cheap and can outscore sturridge
you can always double-up them 😉Open Controls
Cover is getting in a player from a team you think will do well in some way
A nailed on attacker in a team that scores goals
Or a nailed on defender in a team that keeps clean sheets
You're covering points
Don't see what's wrong and why you have to split cover into defensive and attacking.Open Controlsfinally, i couldn't say better than this.
fpl - all about points
real football - coutinho is better than sturridgeOpen ControlsObviously it's all about points. You said Coutinho was a better FPL pick that Sturridge which just isn't true IMO, the first 3 weeks are showing that and I think it'll continue.
How many questions did you see pre-season like;
For Liverpool attack - A. Coutinho B. Sturridge C. Mignolet
None. Zero. GTFO.Open Controlscoutinho explosive imminent
once suarez back, he's goldOpen Controls
Of course it's wrong.
Nobody is arguing having defensive/attacking cover from Liverpool isn't wise.
But when we are talking about ATTACKING 'cover' Mignolet isn't the best option. Obviously.
Case closed.Open Controlswhy make the options like attacking and defensive cover?
Mignolet 5.7 29 points
Sturridge 9.2 22 points
pick the best player you think will score the most points 🙂Open Controls

I think comparing Sturridge and Couthino is a touch pointless, very differant players with very differant roles in terms of position. Would alway suggest Couthino is best judged after the return of Suarez, his movement off the ball is streets ahead of the 2 present Liverpool strikers, and perfect for a playmaker such as Couthino. I fully expect to see a sharp increase in his returns once Suarez returns.

good morning lads.
trying to determine Ozils role in set pieces. free kicks, corners, pens? whats the scoop?Open Controls
He will take them all methinks.
Open Controlsall is good
Open Controls
Will take the left footed free kicks, and the corners from the right hands side. (Cazorla is playing left and will already be there). As for pens, I doubt he'd be on them. He isn't a penalty taker.
Open Controls
Will Studge be fit for the weekend?
Open ControlsToo early.
Open Controls
Lewendowski or Rues
Open ControlsMy planned team for next gw (includes 1 hit by doing miralas + dzeko >> brady + Rvp)
Boruc (foster)
ivan coleman chester (murner ward)
wally brady coutinho taarabt (kim)
soldado lambert Rvp
Decent? could take another hit by doing foster > myhill or ivan > koscielny and use funds to upgrade brady?Open Controls
Am I mad to dump RvP?
Open Controls
Before this GW, IMO, yes..
Open ControlsMay as well make it 4 weeks.
Open ControlsDepends what your plan is.
Open ControlsMy plan is to play a 4-3-3 and have 3 of these 5 upfront ... GOALDADO Sturridge Benteke Welbeck Lukaku
Open Controls
no, dump him

When are we going to get a bigger list of hot topics?
People keep repeating the same thing every few days or weeks maybe if they could see its been posted they wouldn't waste all that time writing
essays
Its like groundhog day hereOpen ControlsIt's a 2 week break. perhaps you can give a few ideas for others to discuss?
Open ControlsAgreed.
Open Controls
Where do you think England will finish in the World Cup?
Open ControlsSemi finals easy if we get a decent draw
Saw some of the qualifying groups absolute joke
Reckon apart from spain and germany we should beat anyone else
4 teams in the semi's so even if some other team tears it up we can still get in
Reckon we should just go in with some tough tackles get carroll up top just smash those tiny midfielders that just do stupid little touches and pass sideways
Keep it tight at the back
Well be sorted
Play like chelsea did two years ago in the champions league if we get spain
Germany could be tough but we can still do itOpen ControlsCheers, had a good chuckle like most of the site. 🙂

Hello everyone, quick question:
A) Collins and Ward Prowse
Or
B) Brady and Chester/B Turner
Or
C) Any other defender and midfield combo for under £9.2m
Which is best?Open ControlsThere be much chance of Sturridge NOT rising again before the weekend? Have exact funds at the minute to bring he and Lampard in..
Open Controls😎

Morning Lads ...
any advice on this team please..
Mignolet
Zabaleta Mertezaker Chester
Paulinho Walcott Mirralas Silva
Rvp Dzeko Anelka
So tempted to wildcard but like u guys say its a marathon not a sprint.i ended up in top 1k last season and I know I can do it again. but need to know how to mould this team into a top 1k team ...
Dzeko And Mirallas to Giroud and Hernandez ?
thanks guysOpen ControlsBoruc Ward Turner (nor) Brady
ma bad lolOpen ControlsBoth good moves,
Open Controlsthank u dude
I definitely should not WC right ? team is not that bad right ?Open Controls
I'd definitely try not to wildcard, you can still field a pretty decent team this weekend and surely that's the most important thing - it's not like you're going to make much team value now.

Anyone play fifa career mode?
I've just seen some videos of the new one in fifa 14. I wasn't impressed to be fair. Now you can't see a player's overall, stats or price when buying them. Global transfer network pretty much determines who you want to sign. Menu does look much better to operate, though.Open Controls
Quick one for yous; Ben Tekkers or Sturridge?
Open ControlsWord going round that a certain Wayne Rooney has been at it with Phil Jones' other half.
If true, does make sense about this gash then.Open ControlsCavani or Ibra
Open Controls
I think an uber defence coupled with ONE moderately priced def (e.g. Coleman/Sakho if he locks down a place) could prove a great option to offer funds for flexibility once strong midfield performers start to emerge (e.g. At spurs/chelsea)
Say....Chester Ward Coleman Collins Wilson or whatever your having yourself....Open ControlsMorning Thomass67

Morning TM, how's my WC team?
Mignolet | Davis
Zabaleta | | Coleman | Walker | Chester | Chambers

I'd like to see the brainy guys here do a post about keeping money in the bank and how useful it is
Everyone tries to max out their budget but plenty of cheaper players that perform well
Reckon you could have spent less than 90 mil just getting decent defenders then yaya nolan barkley in mid and sturridge giroud sodado/benteke up front and that would have smashed up those expensive teamsOpen ControlsYou could do it now you know who the decent budget options are.
You couldn't have done it before the start of the season.Open ControlsWhere are you ranked in FPL or you don't play?
Open Controls
I've got 5.7 in the bank so I can upgrade Dzeko or any other player if necessary without having to compromise myself with a hit.
Open Controls
best mid for 5mill..
pick one please
a)evra and walker
b)jenrique and zabaletaOpen Controls
