We cast our analytical eye over the weekend’s data after last night’s match at Selhurst Park drew a line under the numbers from Gameweek 8. Plenty of big names impressed – Arsene Wenger’s new playmaker, City’s attacking twosome, a revitalised Belgian’s display at the Bridge and a certain Uruguayan all come under the spotlight…

      It's a split opinion on here.

      Hazard
      [+] more explosive

      Oscar
      [+] number 10 role, free to roam

        Well I'm going Hazard seems to be a little more rotation proof and on penos behind lamps ,
        Not much in it - Oscar looks a season keeper at this stage as well ,
        I don't think you can afford or would want both.

          how many penalties do u expect? Oscar seems to be giving a consistent around 10 points, whereas we'd have to wait for points from hazard; but, when he'll start to give he'll probably cross 10 points mark...
          u decide.. I'm torn here

        Barkley is no longer a bargain. This may be time that many jump ship. I think that other low to mid price options such as Lallana or Cabeye could give him a run for his money.

          I agree, took him out today. Brady's fixtures are nice again after this week.

          Lallana is also a great option

            I forgot about Brady. That could be a great option. Cheers Acqua

      You can wait one gameweek to do Eriksen to silva/oscar/hazard because Spurs have a much better fixture.
      Would wilson to Glen Johnson give you enough to make this move? If not Wilson to Chico or Vidic to GJ.

      Wait a week on Eriksen, good home game. Can you do Wilson to Chico this week and Eriksen to Silva/Oscar/Hazard next week ?

        Yeah but he can afford Wilson to GJ and still afford Erikson to Silva/Oscar/Haz next week. GJ will definitely make the scout picks imo

      Boruc & Stekelenburg is what I'm rocking with. Boruc & Myhill is tricky because Foster is likely to be back before the first game that you would even consider playing Myhill and that is GW12. Ask yourself, would you play Myhill GW's 9, 10, or 11? No, didn't think so.

      Boruc Westwood
      Or
      Boruc Marshall

      Foster is almost back

      Think Westwood will be good for save points

      Southampton have a rough patch coming in a short while

      Boruc is the leading GK in terms of points and saves you serious money. Presuming you have determined Myhill rotates well. Next 3 for SOT are good but then they have ars, che, MNC, TOT in 4 of the next 6. I'd save the money and go Boruc/Myhill. If/when Foster comes back you can swap Myhill for McGregor or Marshall.
