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.

Hey DZ!
Locked on this WC setup:
Migs, Davis
Vidic, Coleman, Kosc, Chester, Burner
Walcott, Lamps, HBA, Brady, JWP
RVP, Benteke, Giroud
Sturridge could be considered for Tekkers.
Thoughts?Open Controls-
Looks better than it should for an RvP team. if i were an RvPliever, this is very near the team I'd pick.
Open Controls -
Dead set on RVP?
Open Controls -
I don't believe JWP is nailed on long term. He's a young lad with JRod and Ramirez fighting for his spot.
Open Controls-
I'm aware of that but I'll take my chances anyway.
If stops playing I'll try to get another bench fodder.Open Controls
-
-
This is almost the exact team I posted here earlier, except I'm rolling out a 3-4-3 with Hernandez in place of JWP and a 3-way defensive rotation in place of Vidic.

Boruc (foster)
Ivan Coleman Chester (murner ward)
Wally coutinho miralas tarabt (kim)
Soldado lambert Rvp.... -tive1.6m ITB
A: miralas >> Brady (-4)
B: miralas + Ivan >> Hernandez/barfa + koscielny (-8)
C: miralas + foster >> Hernandez + myhill (-8)
I expect most ppl to say A but it will leave me wid mids that have bad games in gw5(Brady/tarabt/kim)....and in order to upgrade them, I need to remove Ivan who I don't think will do better then koscielny...hence I am leaning towards B.Open Controls-
Top of the page;)
Open Controls -
Isn't Foster out for 2-3 months?
Open Controls-
Nvm, this isn't a WC team so ignore me.
Open Controls
-
-
A: Play Brady in the poor games as he's on set pieces. Lose Foster as he's out long term.
Open Controls-
Happy to play Brady...but thinking Abt next gw also
- kim (TOT)...bad fix
- Brady (newc) away fixture but good fixtures after that
- tarabt (chel) away fixture but good fixtures after that
So basically I can upgrade kim next gw, but need funds from Ivan downgrade.
But u make a fair point on foster, hence proposed COpen Controls

Why not just leave it and keep the points.

Any love for Darren Bent out there? Fixtures look enticing......

Brady and Whittingham at 5.0...
But which one is a better pick?Open Controls -

How's tricks?
Dzeko must go?
Thinking Lambert over Bent?
What do ya all reckon 🙂 ?

Open Controls-
Hey fella.
Good start for you.
Are you on wc?
Take a look at my shambles.... 😥Open Controls -
Jake White should have been appointed Aussie coach.
Open Controls
-
-
I'm looking seriously at Bent - may be a rotation risk though particularly Chelski away but hopefully will play the 3 home games which is the main thing I suppose
Open Controls-
SOT also have good games (at home) next 6.
I want bent but I'm worried about starts, also a little for lambert.
I assume Lambert is still on pens, where Berba is at Fulham. Not that that is influencing my decision....Open Controls

Fair play on resisting the urge to wildcard , although in your case it would of been justified

Does anyone else love the movie "God Bless America"?

Subs: Chester, Burner, Barkley (Foster)
0FT. 0.5 ITB. Stay or do any hits? Right lineup as well? Cheers.Open Controls -
Best striker under 9? Already have Soldado and Benteke 🙂 Should I go for Eto'o?
Open Controls -
About as good as can be. Hold fire for now until you know more about Studge/Toure injuries.

No tip on Marc Burch OOP 😡 19pts compared to Yedlin's 9 🙁
Open Controls-
shut it! you probably made up a ton of points with Neagle (c) over Martins (c) that most others have
and tbh I didn't expect him to be OOP. I thought for sure with Leo out the first game he'd slot into LB. and I didn't realize he'd be on so many set piecesOpen Controls

Hey Jafa - you heard the Claudia Brucken (her out of Propaganda) single "Everybody Says Hi". Cover of a Bowie song off "Heathen", and really good.
Open Controls-
Not heard it Jim, no but I've been listening to quite a bit of Propaganda on YouTube of late. Heard the new DB album?
Open Controls-
I haven't actually. I know everyone has been raving about it though. Recommend a song to listen to from it, and I'll give it a go.
Here's the Claudia Brucken link if you're curious... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl8cOVWVqFIOpen Controls-
This was a single off it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWtsV50_-p4&list=FLURImv1uzOysWxOpTale_1Q&index=6

Who is the best midfielder under 5.7 excuding brady ?
Open Controls-
Might be safer going with JWP atm until we see what the new signings bring.
Open Controls
-
Boruc (Migs)
Koscielny / Coleman / Ivanovic (Turner / Olson)
Walcott(C) / Coutinho / Silva / Koren ( Barkley)
Soldato(VC) / Giroud / Sturridge
1 FT. Any glaring misses or save the FT?Open Controls-
no benteke could hurt you BUT I wouldn't want to be transferring out any of the three strikers you have either. you've got a great team! in fact i'm jealous: wishing that was my team
save the FT unless you hear any news about sturridge being out (I reckon he'll be fine but wait and see just to be safe)Open Controls-
^this. 2FT > 2x1FT.

As always, thank you. I'll check the league out
Open Controls

Zabaleta (sto) / Collins (sot) / Clyne (WHU)
Bench: Murner (tot) / Ward (mun)
If Clyne doesn't start Murner comes on or maybe a 1 pointer from Clyne.. Worth it to do Clyne > under 5.5m def for a hit ??Open Controls -

The RVP or not question is really bothering me. With him I really don't have enough funds, but without him I find it hard to spend all the money...
Open Controls-
-
that is why I got him in another factor that made me get him is only 2 others have him in my minileague and I guess the situation is similar in other competitive leagues
Open Controls -
Me too. My gut instinct tells me to get him (with Brady or Whit) but the idea of three cheap mids doesn't sit well with me.
Plus there's the very strong possibility that a front line of Goldado/Studge/Benteks/Giroud will do just as well.Open Controls -
I've got him as well - not happy with, not happy without. Three games in and Studger is injured already - RVP can fill that spot for his nice fixtures until Suarez finds his fitness and sharpness. Suarez + 3.1m to spend on midfielders looks good value to me.

Morning scouts..
At the moment I've got Mirrallas on the bench for GW4, plan on shipping him, Nolan or coutinho out next week if neither pick up any points but the question is..
Who do you bench out of Collins, Nolan or Mirrallas?Open Controls-
Collins for me
Open Controls -
-
Just checked it on the rate my team and it's telling me to play all three including Chester who was Gunna sit on my bench but bench ivanovic instead? Madness?
Open Controls-
I wouldn't bench Ivan. but starting Chester could be a good thing too. I don't have the stats to back it up but I think I remember someone telling me that early season matches between promoted sides are usually low scoring

Names in CAPS are open to change, what do people think ?Open Controls -
Jafa,
Just seen your recommendations on John Fowles. The Magus and The French Lieutenant's Woman are on my to read list now 🙂Open Controls-
Hi Rohan, yeah I noticed your comment about existenialism which is a philosophy in writing I was keen to explore.
Fowles writes a lot on this theme but he just happens to be a brilliant writer.
Read The Magus. It's a very disturbing psychological piece of writing. It left me in bits for weeks afterwards. I even visited the small Greek island where it is set.Open Controls -
The Magus is a load of old flannel. French Lieutenant's Woman is reasonable.

Silva and Hernandez or Lamp and Nolan...?

(Have Walcott in mid but no other arsenal, spurs, Liverpool mids)Open Controls-
Benteke Sturridge Giroud

Is sturridge definitely going to play ganeweek 4 ?
Open Controls-
No but probable I think
Open Controls
-
-
So what do Sturridge owners make of the 'injury' ?
Really injured or another 'international' one?
I would be fuming if it were the latter and I was Woy, with big qualifier v Ukraine ahead.Open Controls-
It's a real injury but can't help thinking he'd play if it was an important Liverpool game...
Open Controls-
-
That's my thinking anyway 😉
Open Controls
-
-
-
I think he is really injured. But will be fit for monday
Open Controls-
-
He has even played a full game for Liverpool with this injury. I have absolutely no doubt he will play on Monday. It sums up everything wrong with the England team
Open Controls-
If that's the case and I was Woy I wouldn't select him or nah of his type ever again.
Different if a friendly but not key qualifiers !!!!Open Controls-
Sturridge says God is accountable for him missing the England game, but that The Big Man is well intentioned.
"Gutted I'm not fit for Ukraine. One of those things I guess. God willing I can make it back for Swansea #Godisgood"
