We bring Gameweek 7 under the microscope this evening to highlight some of the most significant statistics from the weekend’s action. Newcastle’s in-form forward, United’s young pretender, Liverpool’s front two and Swansea’s attacking threat are amongst a number of stand-out statistical selections across Saturday and Sunday’s matches:
Why I transfer Oscar out last week. Hate making instantly regrettable transfers (Oscar to Ramsey)

@ Declan
Thanks for the reply mateOpen Controls
So... Which team are favourites for the beach soccer comp?
Open Controls
Pretty obvious, isn't it? 😉
Open Controls
Iran. We don't care. 😉
Open ControlsIvory coast.
Outsiders.Open Controls
Based on current squads, I don't think it's even close, Evs.
Triggerlips
Captain Shirokov
Jinswick
SW6
RYSCALLERANNE
The Viper
In Tommy We Trust
In Like Flynn
Pepin

The bookies have El Salvador as strong favourites. I've never met a poor bookie.
Open Controls
Maybe someone should start a Fantasy game about it.
Open ControlsFantasy Fantasy Football....epic. It's like Second Second Life.... 😀

The cheque's in the post ... 😉

The UAE expects the stiffest competition from Iran in Group C, Paraguay in Group D (very distracting team), and Solomon Islands in Group B. The UAE admires the Solomon Islands rules for recruiting.
The UAE wishes 10,000 camels to infest the nose hairs of all Senegali, who have cheated with abandon and no punishment from the weak tournament administration that makes Sepp Blatter look like an honest man.Open Controls
This is my beautiful team. Somebody recruit the lad.
Boruc, Lewis
Vidic, Terry, Toure, Dawson, Wilson
Ozil, Michu, Paulinho, Ravel, Adnan
Rooney, Suarez, Lukaku
1.4itbOpen Controls
a few punts in there
Open Controls
Might just make my transfers now and forget about FPL for 12 days.
Collins > Ashley Williams
Kim > Barkley
Soldado > Rooney
RvP > Suarez
Can anyone give me any reason not to do any of those?Open ControlsAshley Williams isn't fit yet, is he?
Open ControlsDon't get Rooney.
Look at Lukaku/Benteke instead.
I think Chico may be better route to Swanswa defense (nailed on)
Barkley vs Januzaj punt?
Agree with rvp to suarez.Open ControlsBarkley is a waaaay better long term move than Janusjaz if you ask me.
Rooney's fixtures are so good though, I'm only selling RvP because he is poor value at 13.9Open ControlsCan't tell if Barkley is better long term yet. If jan nails down a position. He's miles better.
Jan is the more risky choice higher rewards
Barkley less risky and probably less rewardsOpen Controls
I have Suarez, Sturridge and Roooney up front, is there any reason to be rid of any of them at the moment?
Will Lukaku score as well/better than any of them in your opinion?Open ControlsI think so. 😀
Open Controls
One of the SaS to Lukaku wouldn't be a bad shout IMO.
Open Controls
Until you get it wrong 😉
Open ControlsTempted to do Sturridge to Lukaku and captain him vs Hull..
Money there to upgrade Barfa then..Open Controls
international break please be kind to me!!
Open ControlsI'm absolutely clueless as to what to do with my team...
Boruc Davis
Evra Nastasic Dawson Clyne Burner
Ozil Michu Eriksen Barkley Whitts
Suarez Rooney Lukaku
2 free transfers, 0 in the bank.
Suggestions please!Open ControlsNice team. Eriksen the main weakness.
Open ControlsDawson will be dropped no?
Open ControlsWhy. No-one has convinced me. And, I don't have him.
Open Controls
id do eriksen for oscar. dawson is a ? w/ chir looming but until then might as well ride him.
maybe upgrade nasty for terry or downgrade evra to terry
rooney for studge altho many dont wat to double up sasOpen Controls
Agree. Maybe arsenal midfielder?
Open Controls
^
Open Controls
Nice issue to have... dunno...
Nastastic for a more stable defense?Open ControlsGet Terry? Awesome run of fixtures.
Open ControlsYa I want him. Where do I get the funds?
Nasty+Dawson > Terry+Figueroa(or another 4.4)
Or downgrade Eriksen?Open Controls
Worried about Dawson losing his place?
Move him to a Swans defender maybe.Open ControlsEveryone says this Dawson losing place but there is NO evidence to support it whatsoever.
Haven't seen the guy dropped from a big game once, just because there's two players for one spot doesn't mean one isn't nailed - just means he has to play harder for his place. ImoOpen Controls
Eriksen + Nastasic -> Oscar + A. Williams? Is that affordable?
Open ControlsYa got exact cash for Eriksen + Nasty > Oscar + Williams... but may keep Eriksen for 2 more games...
Open Controls
Tough .. I like it with the exception of Nasty & Dawson.
City don't look like keeping many clean sheets, and Dawson's end is near.Open ControlsDawson -> Ben Davies maybe.. Swansea have a nice run
Open Controls
Tbh mr Acqua i wouldnt touch it - solid team in my honest opinion - hold on to your transfers as injurires may hit you never know!
plus a few prices to rise so i would keep hold!Open Controls
GW9 I shall look to flog Chester (or Burner if Chester is close to a return). Want a Saints defender. Can't be doing with all this Clyne and Shaw injury talk. Just gonna pay the premium and get Lovren, it's not's like I've got 5 million burning a hole in me pocket or anything 😛
Open Controls
Clyne has been fit for a few weeks now...
Open Controls
Doos
What do the stats say on rooney ?
Im tempted to stick for a while.Open ControlsFor £15 you could have your answer...
Open ControlsThey say that I should keep him. And captain him. And I believe them. 😉
Open Controls
Where's that bum Optimus?
Open Controls
in same boat..any ideas folks??
Open Controls
If you have any of these players ensure you have a free transfer/escape route as one or two of these are guaranteed to pick up an injury this international break.
Mignolet.
Baines, Vidic, Koscielny, Shaw, B.Turner.
Michu, Eriksen, Barkley, Januzaj, Whittingham.
Rooney, Suarez, Giroud.Open Controls...already used my 2 FT's. I have 4 of them!!!
Open ControlsI have four. This is a worse game than the Scout Picks! 😀
Open Controls
9 😯 ðŸ™
Open ControlsJanuzaj doesn't play International football...
Open Controls
In Mother Russia....
Open ControlsEl Salvador have just made 3 amazing additions in an entirely legitimate manner. Look at their ranks!

Dawson ivanovic mertesaker fonte (collins)
Eriksen yaya hazard barkley (ward prowse)
Sturridge giroud rooney
2 ft, any suggestions on who? Thinking collins to turner and eriksen to walcott?
Also any captain suggestions, thinking hazard atm?Open Controlscapt Sturidge and transfers Erikson to Walcott IF declared 100% if not maybe LUkaku in (don't know who to lose though)
Open Controls
Need to sell HBA with 9.3 in the bank, should I get Oscar, Barkley, Silva or is there a better option? Thanks
Open ControlsOscar or Walcott if declared 100%
Open Controls
Any news on Ben Davies' scan today ?
Can't find anything with a quick google.
Any fellow buttys got valley-rumours ?Open Controls
i've been checking swansea's website and there is nothing, could be good or bad, i made the move before the southampton game so am going to be annoyed if its a long term
Open ControlsDitto
Don't want to tamper with my midfield yet to get Michu....and will be gutted if he missed more than 1 for the Swans.
Although Laudrup seemed quite cagey on 'maybe missind 1-2 games' after the international break. I'm hoping it's jet-lag avoidance.Open Controls
Adrián
Baines, Vertonghen, Wilson
Özil, Michu(vc), Paulinho, Ramsey
Rooney(c), Sturridge, Lukaku
Subs: Boruc; Barkley, Faye, Clyne
Make of that what you will. But I am pretty happy with it. 🙂Open Controlsvery nice team
Open ControlsCheers, mate.
Open Controls
Thank you, Sweet Pea! 😀

Ozil > Walcott and Lukaku > Bentekke could be an option in couple of gw's.

WC draft (assuming all fit):
Boruc Davis
Terry G. Johnson Williams Clyne Burner
Walcott Mich Oscar Barkley Jumanji
Suarez Rooney LukakuOpen ControlsGuys, talk to me,
Dawson, for 7 weeks now I have been told:
He's not nailed, don't keep him.
Why do people keep believing this? Is it just because there is competition for his place? Personally I see Chiriches being a Europa player and Dawson the premier league defender who may not be great, and may be old a la rio ferdinand - but he has experience.
I trust him to start until injured.
Just my opinionOpen Controls
He is the captain after all.
Open Controls
I've had him since GW1 and he's gotten me few CS well, and has gone up .2m......shun the nay sayers
Open ControlsI'm with you on this one. Spurs fans are awful.
Open ControlsI just think AVB is staying loyal until his performance dips.
Chiriches was invested in to start for the first XI.
Dawson has been poor in two games now, I'm not sure if he'll be out if the team next game.
If I had him I'd wait until he was dropped to get rid really, but it will happen eventually .Open Controls
and then your 0.2 out of pocket... or more if the person you would get is rising at the same time
Open Controls
pondered the same thing but decided with spurs away at villa who they thumped 4-0 in the carling cup a few weeks back followed by hull at home im giving soldado 2 weeks to prove his worth.. there is goals in the guy all he needs is one to go in off his back side and he will be lit like a christmas tree
Open Controls
Any other thoughts?
Mignolet
Baines / Vidic / Clyne / Wilson / Burner
Ozil / Erikson / Barkley / Michu / Ravel
Rooney / Giroud / Sturridge
Rooney and Wilson -> Lukaku and Terry?Open Controls.. better upgrade and more priority:
1--Paulinho > Oscar
2--rooney > suaresOpen Controlsthnx...do it for a hit -4?
oscar already went up .1 and looks like defo that hes going up .3 in intl break. so is suares .Open Controls
Nah not for a -4pts. Chance oscar may not play with travelling
Open Controlshehe, thing is, oscar wil rise again and i have exactly the 1.8 to upgrade paulinho 7 to oscar 8.8...if he rises again i will not be able to do it anymore for another 2 gw .
do it or not?
im in brasil now, and oscar will play for brasil. but thats not a biggie.hell play again cant see why not.all oters are being rotated EXCEPT oscar and ramirs. mourinho adpores oscar 's way of brasilian creativity (so do i ,ive seen him play since dauys of sp and inter)
paulinho also iveseen him play for 4 yrs now. problem is, at some pt the more offensive mids :eriksen,sigur,+soldado,lamela,defone/lennon will hav to hav the ball more, so less looks for paulinho i giess since hes a 2nd defensive mid w dembele.Open Controls
Migs (davis)
Chico coleman dawson
Ramsey ozil barkley michu
Giroud lukaku suarez
Good?Open ControlsSo a couple have suggested:
Eriksen + Nastasic > Oscar + Williams (if fit)
Quite like the look of that.
Thoughts?Open Controls
