Having cast an eye over the Defenders yesterday, we roll out the second in a three-part members series with a look at midfielders. Assessing the key attacking statistics, we analyse the chief creators and major goal threats over the first three Gameweeks of the season.
Ward-Prowse is now bothering the shit out of me. ðŸ™

Welcome back you, hope the hols were most splendid.
Open ControlsMore than. David once again made me believe in the human spirit, and the reality of genius. 🙂
Also, I got pissed a lot - on fine wine!Open Controls
Yep...hard to ignore...I spotted him on kicks in his first game and thought it was to good to be true...One more start and he's a must have with Lambert on the end of his crosses...
Open ControlsI don't think I can wait. I am going to defenestrate myself. 😀
Open Controls
... an infarction? 😉

Cruyff (totally manipulated draw aimed at eliminating Cruyff!!!!)Open ControlsHaha 15 of these players got 2 or more votes. Did a random draw to pick one out of the remaining 25! Schmeichel came out and was drawn against the highest seed, zidane.

Open ControlsPutting Cruyff vs. Maradona is a scam, ENR is trying to eliminate the Barcelona legends by putting them in unfair match-ups...both of those should have been in pot 1!!! 😀
Open ControlsTrue. I voted Maradona because of Maradona, but in terms of Champions Cup and Champions League Cruyff achived much much more.

Lots of students on here who would love to work there during the holidays
Cheap labour and tea making!Open Controls
1) Ramsey vs Brady?
2) Ivan >> koscielny for a hit? better fix, better value..save 1.1m to upgrade i.e. brady >> pablo.H
3) foster >> myhill for a hit? will need cover for boruc in gw5,8Open ControlsBrady, not close
not for a hit
not for a hit, and not MyhillOpen Controls
What a boring week...
Open ControlsParmalicious, show me the current draft.
Open ControlsMignolet, Rudd.
David Luiz, Vidic, Shaw, B.Turner, Chester.
Walcott, Nani, Barkley/Redmond, Brady, Ward-Prowse.
Van Persie, Benteke, Soldado.
£1.7m in the Suarez kitty.Open Controls
benteke>racist later?
Open ControlsI DO like it but the midfield is SO pathetic and inflexible...
You will always want Walcott and you only have one ~7m spot so if any of the big hitters start warming up (Michu / Hazard / Lamela) you won't be able to bring them in...Open Controls
Looks nice. Would have Sturridge over Soldado though if fit.
Open Controls
Nice to see 4 of my 5 WC team mids being covered in glowing terms in the article. No mention for Pablo though...
Open ControlsWhat's your current draft, MJ?
Open ControlsSince you asked...
Boruc Davis
Mert Sakho Coleman Chester B.Turner
Walcott Lamela Barfa Hernandez JWP
RVP(c) Benteke Giroud
Mmmmm!Open ControlsMain dilemma is Lamela vs Coutinho. I think Lamela is a level above Coutinho in quality and more likely to score so I will take a punt on him I think
Open ControlsDelicious. Best one I've seen yet. Goes to show you how helpful the extra 1.1m is when you swap Mignolet with Boruc.
Open Controls
Would anyone be able to have a pop off who the best budget midfielders will be over the coming weeks? Looking for some real value! Also who would ye reckon is the best 4m/4.1m defender?
Open Controlswho is playing europa league fantasy?
Diego Alves-Anthony Lopes
Dragovic-Van Damme-Gonzalo Rodriguez-Marcano-Fazio
Maher-Siggy-yarmolenko-Stoch-Grenier
Defoe-Flocari-RondonOpen Controls
Have Fifo or TFPL become anymore "nailed on" 😉 in the last couple weeks? I know it was still off a bit.
Also, are we expecting any more risers the rest of the week?Open ControlsTFPL more nailed on.
Open Controls
Ok so there is a general consensus of never take a hit for a defender, but does Turner to Vidic count as an exception? Would mean a defence of Chester, Zab, Vidic with B. Turner and Ward on the bench.
Open Controls
Some help here guys:
A - Dragons Den
B - X Factor
They both start at 8pm
Held is melted ðŸ™
For a hit!!!Open ControlsHave Mignolet and Marshall and on WC. Any reason to abandon this pairing? Boruc?
Open Controls
Is 0.5 a reason?
Open ControlsNot necessarily, just asking. I started Marshall last GW and luckily got the CS out of it, as did Migs!
Open Controls
Yes abandon it to a 4.0
Open ControlsWhich 4.0s are the starters?
Open Controls
Are ye considering Fulham defenders with their great run of fixtures? And is so - who?
Open ControlsHow does this UCL FF team look?
Courtois, Artur
Alaba, Lichsteiner, Toprak, Schar, Ambrose
Isco, Kaka, Draxler, Payet, Bruno
Messi, Ronaldo, VillaOpen Controls
Between Ivanovic and Luiz:
(1) Who is more nailed on?
(2) Who is more likely to assist?
(3) Who is more likely to score?Open Controls
would you WC this lot?
Boruc (davis)
Zaba, JT, Kolo (Burner, Chester)
Theo, Mirallas, Silva, Coutinho
Benteke, Soldado, LambertOpen Controls

How does my sun dream team fair?
Mignolet
Rose Vertonghen Rangel Baines
Walcott Brady Coutinho
RVP Soldado Ageuro
Ive just transferred in Vertonghen for rat, ageuro for silva and brady for hazard (freeing money up)
Wud u go for th 3 ive brought in or, sakho lampard and giroudOpen ControlsGoing to see Way, Way Back in half an hour. Any good?
Open Controls
So who is going to be the most nailed on Chelsea CB and which two will be rotated. I assume Cahill will be seeing the least game time but who from Luiz/Terry will be the more regular starter?
Open Controls
Boruc
Shaw Chester Coleman
Barkley Coutinho Walcott Silva
Benteke RvP Soldado
bench: Collins, Turner, Jedinak
A starting XI for GW4?
Can tinker, have 2FTs
Planning on losing RvP to double up on Arsenal (Ozil) for GW5++++
Then use the bank weekly to strengthen the defense.
Love some feedback. Ta.Open ControlsHow's this looking?
Mignolet (Lewis)
Mert Evra Clyne (Collins Murner)
Silva Ben Arfa Nolan Walcott (Jedinak)
Soldado Giroud SturridgeOpen Controls
I like it.
Defence is very similar to mine except I have Coleman instead of Clyne (got him early) and a different cheapie (Chester)
MF is as good as it probably can be (pricewise) if you're investing that bit extra in defence like quite a few others. Walcott is the standard. I personally don't like Silva, but he could still snatch a fair few points for you. You've gone Arfa + Nolan while I have Hernandez + Lamps.
Excellent front 3. I don't have Studge yet myself, Benteke for me. But I have Coutinho in my MF instead of your Silva.
All in all it's very good. I wouldn't suggest you change anything since the major differences are either in the bench, or MF. And we all know that MF has been a bit hit and miss lately.Open ControlsThanks, 0.9 in bank also
Open Controls
No Aguero, Aguerooooo!!!!!? Too pricey?
Open ControlsBetter alternatives, his time will come at some point in future
