This evening we roll out the final article in our three-part series assessing the stand-out attacking statistics over the first three Gameweeks. Having cast our analytical eye over the Defenders and Midfielders, we turn our attentions up front.

      B because I'm worried about how involved Coutinho is in Liverpool's most promising attacks so far this year. That being said, there is no way of knowing what kind of output you will get from Lamela or Eriksen, but I am keen to get Eriksen myself if he plays in the hole.

          Don't get Vidic and Ferdinand, if you want good Man U cover go for Evra, he'll probably get the most minutes of all of the Man U defence, his attacking potential as a defender is as good as any and he is only 0.5 more than Vidic. Lampard isn't assured of starts and is in a slightly withdrawn role, meaning he will probably only get goals from penalties. Other than that I quite like it.

          Vidic + Ferdinand + Lampard -> Evra + Enrique + Hernandez maybe?

              Yeah, I think at least a medium term approach is needed. Plus Evra may get a goal against Palace and get Vidic and Ferdinand's scores combined...or the much more likely scenario of Palace actually scoring haha!

          Don't like doubling on ManU defense. Try to get LIV defensive coverage or Coleman himself.
          Naughty has to prove his temper doesn't affect his goal scoring capabilities.

      A little too punty in the midfield, no? Two unproven EPL / FPL players in your starting team. I'd go with maybe just one.

      Doubling on Man United defense - I like that. It's different.

      Also, who is your back-up keeper? Playing Boruc in all games may be tricky.

        Doubling on united defence isn't a good idea IMO. There's hardly any flexibility when you have the 2 of them. Also you're fecked if they have a blank gameweek or a difficult fixture.

        Back up keeper is 4m no player. Just so I could do a competitive RVP side. I know what you mean with two unproven midfielders but I can't find much in their price range I fancy.

      You can't have more than two premium mids atm with RVP and two strong strikers in the team atm. You'll need that flexibility in the future.
      Coutinho is disapointing so far FPL wise and HBA has good fixtures. Prefer tekkers to Studge despite LIV's good fixtures.

    Hey guys long time lurker first time poster.
    First off, how y'all doing?!

    I'm currently on a wildcard but would love to hear some thoughts on my team, and possible changes.

    Mignolet - mcgregor
    Enrique, zabaleta, vidic, Dawson - Chester
    Oscar, Hernandez, Walcott, silva - colback
    Soldado, giroud - maiga

    $1.9 in the bank (wanting to bring in Suarez when his back)

    I don't know if I should keep vidic or spend .5 less and get ferd. Stick with Oscar or go cheaper in lampard, or more expensive and get lamela. Cut silva or stick with him. And take a punt on sturridge with his injury or keep soldado??

    (Mignolet, Enrique, zabaleta, silva and colback I've had since day one)

    Would appreciate the feedback. Cheers!

      Terry is a concern of rotation. Same with Ferdinand.
      If I were to choose long-term probably Ivan and Zab because of their managers defensive approach to some extent.

    So would you you do Ivan >> koscielny (-4)..I don't think chel will keep too many cleanies over the next few gw's, gettin rid of him frees up funds, allows me to upgrade kim to a 7m mid next gw
