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.
How do I change( or add one, rather) my picture? Help please?

p.s. if you're currently in the Leagues or applied for season 3 of the leagues but didn't get in, you already have a spot so there's no need to sign upOpen ControlsOnce more,sorry for repeating
Worth taking 4 point hit?
Dzeko,Silva-----> Benteke,Michu(Lamela)
And who is better option for this and next GW,then I will use my WC..
ThanksOpen ControlsI would say yes. Even more so if your thinking of captaining benteke.
Open Controlsyeah probably, would take the Lamela punt if I were you
Open ControlsI forgot to say I have Sold..does that change anything?
Open Controls
Yeah it still comes up mate. I get reply fails but when I hit back and go back to check I can see I'm replying to the right comment (the box is under the comment I want to reply to and it says cancel )
Think its because I'm using work phone (its ooold but still on contract so free internet lol) and the browsers a bit funny do too much and it messes up
If any computer whizz is reading and knows how to help give me a shout lolOpen ControlsDon't check.
Open ControlsThis is after I've reply failed mate
I go back to check what I did wrong
And it shows I'm posting in the right placeOpen ControlsDo what you just did. How's work anyway?
Open Controls
Such an appropriate reply fail!!!
If I go back twice I can see all the text and its directly below torresmagic's comment like a reply should be!Open ControlsLol is that a reply fail?
Open Controls
50+Every GW Knockout League (including hits)
100 still left in but more are welcome ...
538-693
Will close once GW4 has been completedOpen ControlsHi lads, just having a quick tinker with my WC team, how's this looking?
Migs Lewis
Vidic Zabaleta Coleman Collins Chester
Walcott BenArfa Moses Redmond Barkley/Brady
RVP Benteke GiroudOpen ControlsVery good mate
Needs some liverpool cover in there
Can you get coutinho inOpen Controls
this is brilliant...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24029055Open ControlsWho would win in an eyebrow raising contest?
A) Carlo Ancelotti
B) Rafael Nadal
C) Dwayne JohnsonOpen Controls- Open Controls
Sell him back to Dortmund where he can win another Bundesliga title for us.
Open Controls
Ben Arfa is in fashion then...
Don't come crying to me when he fails to bring home the bacon.
Bacon mmmmmOpen ControlsBacon? Barfa?
Islamophobe 😉Open ControlsGive me steady but reliable Nolan over Ben Arfa anyday.
Open ControlsSorry Dems - had to sit through an awful dvd. Thinking Lambchops->Benteks for this week. Would like to offload Coutinho but no other mids appeal.
You?Open ControlsI am not sure that Benteke is worth the upgrade. This is doubly true when looking at Lambert's fixtures.
I think I will bring Chester in for Olsson this week and whoever comes in for Johnson next week. This will leave me with cash to upgrade Lambert to a big hitter or Nolan to a big hitter.
Team then should be:
Boruc Davis
Mert Zab (Wisdom) Collins Chester
Silva Coutinho Walcott (Nolan\Hazard) Whittingham
Giroud Soldado (Lambert\Sturridge)
I agree with you about not finding a replacement. I think we are better sticking than gambling on an unproven replacement such as Lamela.Open Controls
I have been saying this all week. now that Petric is possibly signing for Westham it could only be positive for Nolan.
Problem is, if I start looking at some of the 6/6.5m defenders I'm thinking they might score just a much as nolan, for 500k less.Open Controls
Ok so I'm getting closer to a sound team...
Szczesny (Davis)
Jags / Dawson / Toure (Chester/Whittaker)
Coutinho / Walcott / Fellaini / Mirallas (Ward-Prowse)
Giroud / Benteke / Soldado
Countinho&Fellaini are the ones I'm unsure about, money better spent elsewhere?Open ControlsYes. Waiting till after international games though. Any thoughts?
Open ControlsI think mig is the gk to go with at the moment
not sure about jags... get coleman if you want everton defense
dawson isn't nailed on imo
fellaini will play defensively so not a good option. if you want a united mid punt on nani or kagawa but just know that you're punting and they might not be nailed on
hard to tell how coutinho will do. could be that he doesn't do well until suarez returns, or could be he starts doing well this week, or maybe he just wont' do well fpl wise for a while.Open ControlsThanks!
I've swapped my defence to Ivanovic / Coleman / Toure (whittaker/chester)
Mid is now: Countinho / Walcott / Mirallas / Ben Arfa(Freed up funds for Ivan) / WardProwse
Forwards stay as: Giroud/Benteke/Soldado.Open Controls
Get rid of fellaini mate he's rubbish and man u have been awful plus hell be playing defensive
Get coutinho could play in the hole
Or sturridgeOpen ControlsYeah I did feel Fellaini was just for Utd cover.
I have Coutinho. So 8.5m to spend on the team....Eriksen, Willian etc temping. Rotation risks though.
Ben Arfa and put 1.5m back in the defence perhaps.Open ControlsNo need to guess who this kid supports. He already has coutinho your anti united biased Liverpool based(probably not) Internet user.
However I agree that fellaini not a great pick, nani's in fashion if you want united over at the minute. I look out for Swansea players in a few weeks.Open ControlsMan utd have not scored in the last two games
Maybe bring in a man u defender but that's a waste of money
Rvp is too expensive
Nani - whens the last time he did anything? 2010?Open Controls
Looks distinctly and possibly dangerously Chelski free FF. Can you fit one in for one of your dubious two?
Open ControlsWillian slots right in for Fellaini, worried about rotation mind you.
Open ControlsSaying that, If I did go for Ben Arfa I could fit Ivanovic back in Defence.
This game sometimes, sends you in circles haha!Open Controls
Stupid question,
If I bought hazard at 9.5 and he drops to 9.3 as he has now. Am I correct in thinking that should he rise 0.2 I would get those back rather than having to wait for him to rise to 9.7?Open ControlsYes.
Open ControlsYes
Open Controlsif he were to rise to 9.5 you could sell him for 9.5, if he were to rise to 9.4 you could sell him for 9.4, if he were to drop to 9.0 you could sell him for 9.0
it's only if he increases above the price that you bought him for do you need a rise of .2 to sell for a profit of .1Open Controls
Hello Dz,
Thinking to play 5 at the back for GW 4 :
Def : Mert, Zab, Coleman, Ivan, Reither.
Mids: Wally, Brady.
Fwds: Benteke, Giroud, Lambert
Subs: Mirallas, Nolan , R morrision.
Does it look right. Also let me know if the bech looks right.Open ControlsWrenching problems.
Open ControlsMy thinking is based upon i reckon a goaless draw between Che and Eve.
Nolan isnt an away specialist so he too would have a blank.
Which one/ both would you prefer from Mirallas and Nolan in starting 11 and for which defender to go on bench ?Open Controls
Far too much money in the defence for me but for this GW it could be worth it. Nolan may be worth a shout ahead of Coleman perhaps?
Open Controls
Anyone else warming to the idea of taking a punt on Nani?
Open ControlsReading some of the cabin fever here earlier makes me idly wonder if FFS should be closed whenever a Prem game is more than 7 days away. Left to our own devices without points to focus the mind, this site turns into a girls' boarding school.
😆Open ControlsThis time of year is a weird one as lots of crazy punts come out of the woodwork based on 3 games.
Form changes and defences loosen up so it's really hard to tell what will happen.Open ControlsBan those electric toothbrushes!!
Open Controlsas long as Nate got his level up
Open ControlsDon't get me wrong anyone who enjoys the site, I do think it has a great community, unrivalled in scale or variety. I just realized I enjoy it the most when the footy's on, it's preseason and international breaks that are a drag.

Gabby only knows one direction... 😆Open ControlsThe fact he had 1D on his back really annoys me.
Still it's a charity match so that fine, the fact he actually got a contract at a football club really grinds my gears!Open ControlsAnd Louis Tomlinson just learned a new direction: Down on the floor like a sack of spuds.
Open Controls
WC for gw4.
Mignolet
Enrique. Zab. Vidic. Dawson
Oscar. Walcott. Hernandez. Silva
Sturridge. Giroud.
Mcgregor. Maiga. Colback. Chester
$1.9 left.
Thoughts??Open ControlsSO who is going to gain the most by Ozil's arrival? Wally, Giroud, or will Ozil be the essential one to have?
Open ControlsI think all 3 will spread the points evenly so I'm going with Wally & Giroud due to them being cheaper.
If Ozils getting loads of assists then who will be the most likely to benefit? Wally and Giroud.
I bet S.Cazorla has a stormer this week and puts the cat right amongst the pigeons!Open ControlsHa can just see it happening!!! 😯
Open Controls
Giroud probably, but Theo will hugely benefit too.
Open ControlsGiroud imo. Should benefit from the European assist king.

ok having a few problems with the site, keep getting the "connection has been re-set" message when I go back to page 17. Page loads up and then when I scroll down I get the message. Any ideas?
My connection is fine and working okOpen ControlsI have a problem, it seems every second time I refresh the page, the votes disappear & when I click reply, it brings me to the bottom of the page 🙁
HC is a massive success.Open ControlsSlow day at work?

So with all the new transfers playing this weekend who is going to be the player everyone is going to be sscrambling to get next game week? My guess is Ozil.
Open ControlsMoses
Open ControlsOzil definitely
Lamela popular on here,
Eriksen
SakhoOpen ControlsBaines
Open ControlsErrr...
Open Controls
Lukaku
Open Controls
What do you guys think of this wildcard team?
Mignolet--Lewis
Coleman--Fonte--Yanga-Mbiwa--Evra--Chester
Walcott--B.Arfa--Lampard--Michu--Ward-Prowse
Benteke--Giroud--Sturridge
1.1 in the bank so if Sturridge is not fit will have enough to put Soldado in for him.
Anything I should change/upgrade?Open ControlsI'd put the 1.1m into the defence right away. Ivanovic or a Liverpool player (fixtures), instead of Evra surely.
Open Controls
Is Terry nailed on now when Luiz is also fit?
Open ControlsNo IMO
Open Controls
Alrighty, thanks for the picture info guys, I owe you one.
Sorry, can't become a member now, since I'm 16, and dad said he won't allow. 🙁
Nevertheless, I'm writing an article for an Indian football website regarding City, any pointers/suggestions for the same? THey've told me to write 1000-1200 words, but could only go up to 800 till now.Open ControlsGlad you posted that question as I've been wondering how to do it for a while now!
Open ControlsAhh okay!
It's just that, I've only started supporting them since '06, so don't know a lot about their history. Was seeking some advice from the more experienced lads out here.Open Controls
Check back on Paul's City/player articles and big numbers here. Lots of good stuff that I'm sure he wouldn't mind you using bits of.
Open ControlsPaul? Sorry, I'm a noob round here
Open Controls
Anyone fancy giving me some help in respect of player rises. I use totalfpl and it says the NTI for Giroud and Hernandez is just over a 1000 each but it also says this a 1.5% change today. On that basis they would need to hit 66000 to get to 100%, I thought the threshold was 30 something thousand.
Open ControlsThat was last season. A lot higher this season.
Open ControlsThey changed it this season, presumably to slow the market down a little and stop people having £110m to spend by Christmas.
Open ControlsThat would make sense Im sure the first rise was 33k, so maybe second rise is 66k
Open Controls
A)Zaha*+Evra or
B)Nolan+Merte
*=one week puntOpen ControlsZaha the only punt- Go hard or go home!
Open Controlszaha has shown nothing to warrant being in anyones side
Open ControlsHi Spud, how are you? ................. C)
Open ControlsWhy are you taking a 1 week punt if you're wildcarding?
Open Controls*Why would you
Open Controls
B
Open ControlsI'm thinking of going for nani.
Not that that helps you're dilema one little bit
Other than illustrating we haven't a flipping clue what he's gonna doOpen Controls
How many people are taking hits instead of wildcarding this international break?
Open ControlsI know injuries are mounting up but for me its a perfect time to save a transfer and maybe take a hit next week and use 3 transfers to have a reshuffle.
Open ControlsNot obvious to those of us who aren't on here every 10 minutes.
Open Controls
Was thinking of a hit but now might just get in Benteks. Depends on the injury situation.
Open ControlsI am guessing you mean injuries to your team and not benteke?
Open Controls
I haven't decided not to WC yet. Much will depend on the fate of my players over the next couple of days.
Open Controls
good morning, playing the WC.....starts off exciting, after about 10 days....now its painful.
Any advice other than the obvious Wisdom risks.....
Vorm, McGregor
Ferdinand, Koscielny, Wisdom, Chester, Burner
Walcott, Lampard, Eriksen, Brady, Barkley
RVP, Sturridge, Benteke
now to make a pot of coffee,,,,Open ControlsRate my fantasy UCL team 🙂
(planning on WCing after GW1)
Diego Lopez
Luiz - Alaba - Mexes
Oscar - Farfan - Vidal - Nani
Messi - Ronaldo - Diego CostaOpen ControlsNot bad. Costa over Villa, eh? I don't rate Farfan, although he has typically been listed as a striker in the past, I thought. Is Oscar going to be fit? Is Luiz a rotation doubt? Probably not.. How's your bench looking?
Thoughts on mine?
Bravo (Courtois)
Ivanovic, Boateng, Maxwell (Juanfran, Uchida)
Lampard, Pogba, Fuster, Bernard (Draxler)
Messi, Ronaldo, CavaniOpen ControlsCosta been scoring more than Villa, picked Farfan over Draxler but not sure... with Messi and Ronaldo its hard to have a great team but I reckon they will both be great. I like your team but not sure about Lampard minutes 🙂
Open Controls
Casillas will play in the Champions League (c)Marca
What's the price of Nani? Wouldn't go for him unless he is very cheap, a lot of alternatives are available.
Bench? You can make manager substitutions during each GW, so it makes sense to have a strong bench!Open Controls
