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.
This CL game. Captain swaps? Whats that about?
Must go Ronaldo and Messi and always captain the Tuesday one then flip if it looks bad surely?Open Controls
That is correct however, it's not as great as it might sound.
Hard to swap your captain after he nets you "only one goal"...Open Controls
This whole Ozil chasing women sotory is ridiculous.
1) our media have jumped upon it because it sells compies without legitamet sources.
2)I hate Real Madrid!Open Controls
Evening men,
No idea what trade if any to make.Open Controls
dzeko -> giroud seems obvious
Open Controls
not enough money for it
Open Controls
That's Ok. I know what I'm going to do.
Open Controlslooks fine
since you're sitting on a free transfer to spare, might consider Jedinak to JWP for the price rise, but really, pointless fidget, and you'll be in a better shape after next week's internationals to react to any injury newsOpen ControlsThink i can get a route to rvp, and losing éden in the process

FFS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
For headbutting Lionel Messi 15-7 in the finals and prevailing amongst 40 nominations, the title goes to....
ZINEDINE ZIDANEEEEEEE!
Thank you everyone for participating....it was an extremely close fought and controversial tournament.Open ControlsI bet Cantona would have kung-fu kicked us for making him lose out to Bergkamp, while Pele and Maradona for not making it to the semi-finals just shows the footballing quality we've been blessed with.
Open ControlsIt shows that people here are poor judges of quality.
Open Controls
Hmm. Not sure I agree wth that.
Still love Zizou. Has anybody seen the film made about one of his matches? So graceful.Open ControlsThat Zidane vs Maradona quarter-final clash was almost a near final
Open Controls
Does Materazzi get a special nook in Zinedane's place in your museum then?
The man who wound up the legend.Open Controls
Zidane talking about maradonna

According to this Article (and the one before it about the defenders) our back and midfield 5 should be close to
Coleman, Zab/Johnson/Evra, Dawson, Wilson (4.0 or 4.5)
Walcott, Fer/Barkley/Prowse, Michu, Mirallas, HBA
With Migs and a 4.0 keeper that should leave most of us with between 25-27 million for our front three...
I've gone for Evra and replaced Dawson with Vertongen with a front 3 of Giroud, Sturridge and Welbeck (to be replaced with Bent after CPL game)
Was just messing around when I started but the more I look at it, the happier I am with it....Open ControlsArticle said nothing about a non-playing keeper.
Open Controls
anyone want in on my drafted league? got one spot left in a draft on Sept 11 at 5am GMT time.

Yes, my DeadZone fantasy NFL team needed a TD.
Open Controls
Not much on tv tonight..The Roast of James Franco should be good though 🙂 it will be weird watching one misus Greg Giraldo
Open Controls
Just read Demi's guide to premium defenders
I agree with what he said re: Rafa and Jones
(It's in the hot topics for anyone who wishes to take a look)Open ControlsBut your a biased united fan... Just like Demi.... 😉

Unbelieveable. You wonder refs are called w@ankers 🙄

Im off to bed in 15mins so give me some nice replies
Lads how's this?
Mignolet | Davis
Zabaleta | | Coleman | Walker | Vidic | Chambers
Lampard | Walcott | Ward-Prowse | Brady | Hernandez
Soldado | Sturridge | Benteke
On WC £2.2m in the bank
Any changes?Open Controls
What's the cash for?
Open Controls
Chambers -> Chester.
You don't know if Chambers is nailed in the long term and Chester is. Also, early on the Hull defence is looking quite solid.Open Controls
Wildcard team = RVP.
Open ControlsU need to downgrade walker and vidic and upgrade soldado to RVP
Open Controls
😀
Open Controls
Gah, when will Ozil's protection be gone? Been like 8 days now
Open ControlsI don't think it will be removed until after GW4 has started.
Open Controls
If you thought the CL clashes were big who do you think would win this one?
Aleksandar Kolarov vs Guy Demel
Vote away.Open ControlsKolarov
he's a nutter and he takes a mean free-kick
what does Demel have?Open Controls
Kolarov is probably more effective but I think in 20 years time we'll look back and say Demel was more influential in re-shaping the way the game was played.
Open ControlsDemel all day for me
Open Controls
Out of all the regular posters on here. which nationality is your favourite?

Champions League Fantasy game, I'm finding you can get the strongest overall lineup using a 4-3-3.
If playing, give it a try. Can fit 3 premium strikers, 2 premium mids, 1 questionable mid, and 4 good defenders on strongest clubs that are in weaker groups.Open Controls
Best value at midfield IMO
Im going all cheap mids
5 top defenders
3 top strikersOpen Controls5-2-3? Extreme, but maybe it'll work. Feeling better with 4-3-3
Atletico (Kobenhaven)
Chelsea ManU PSG Porto (Celtic)

the ones wearing kits in stipes were 1 goal short to qualify further. And this what happened:

Hello ,
a) Hernández & Nani or
b) Lamela & Ward-Prowse
thenksOpen ControlsMignolet, Boruc
Vidic Collins Koscielny Chester Coleman
Lampard Ben Arfa Nani Walcott Hernández
Sturridge Soldado Giroud
My WC team.
Any changes?Open ControlsThe next? I feel you need to downgrade Arfa as he's the next in line for the bench and that's too much to be just sitting there, imho.
Open Controls
4vets what's your team?
Any help?
Lads how's this?

Any changes?Open ControlsRonh in relation to your question, I can tell you one thing, it's not the Aussie.
Open Controls
Palace back line? Considering ive got chester and need another dirt cheap defender it would have to be Moxey or Ward?
Open ControlsOh yeah good shout
Open Controls
Keep going around and around on which one of these has to be removed from my team - Coutinho, Silva, Soldado. Only one needs to leave.... stuck!
Open ControlsSilva, take your profits
Open ControlsIf someone held a gun to my head and told me I had to remove Coutinho or they'd shoot, I still wouldn't remove him.
Open Controlswhy the reluctance?
Open ControlsWhy? I'm 119th.
Open Controls
Get rid of Coutinho he's more likely to drop in price
Open Controlsnot happening before next game
Open ControlsNever said it was... he's far closer to a price drop than the other two and still dropping at a quicker rate
Open Controls
I wasn't going to as they have swans, then Soton next but with the sturridge info....hmm
Open Controls
How much game time do we anticipate Mr Moses to get?
Open Controls
Please vote:
RVP and wardprowse
Or
Giroud and LampardOpen ControlsA... only because I like picking Lampard even less than picking RVP this season... and I'm a die-hard RVP h8er
Open Controls
Horrible post here but what you think of this?
Migns 4.0
Coleman Zabaleta Vidic Mert Chester
Walcott Michu Lamela Brady WP
Soldado Benteke Giroud
also
2 from : Zabaleta, Vidic, Walker, Enrique
1 from: Nastasic, Sakho, MertesackerOpen ControlsAlso Brady or Whittingham?
Brady better fixtures but Whittingham on all set pieces?!Open Controls@AnfieldOracle: Glen #Johnson 's 10-week 'high ankle injury' has resulted in the cancellation of Andre #Widsom 's loan move to #Wigan Athletic.
