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…

morning everyone
what's your advice when it comes C decission?
so far this season i couldn't picked worst C and i had 7 out of 8 C fails
getting frustrated
this gw i am looking at Michu,Giroud or Sturridge
i wanna C Michu cause people selling him...Open Controls-
I told you last week to captain Sturridge! This week i think Michu is a good shout for captain. Giroud may be fatigued/rested (easy game) and i think Liverpool showed signs of their form coming to an end at Newcastle so im expecting a shock result.
I would go Rooney if you had him but otherwise MIchuOpen Controls-
actually i blame you for C fail this gw 😉
you told me to flip a coin beetwen Lukaku and Sturridge and coin said Lukaku 😆Open Controls

Pick the striker or mid who plays the worst defense.
Open Controls -
I think Scored has some good advice when it comes to looking at the bookies odds... I have started to make bad captain decisions so need to start following the pack more, my maverick captain punts in the past few weeks have failed miserably... 🙁
Open Controls-
and still...they are not as bad as mine C choices
i can even discribe my frustrationOpen Controls-
We have captained the same player for the last 2 weeks, but beyond that, yes you have been really poor/unlucky with your choices...
Open Controls-
it's probably ,,unlucky'' cause on papper my C has suposted to be high scoring player
i wonder whn my luck will turn aroundOpen Controls
-
-
-
-
Pick Giroud.
Open Controls -
I would captain Ozil from your team below, then Giroud, then Sturridge. Michu is ballsy but you could easily end up with 2x2 pts
Open Controls-
i dont mind 2x2 pts cause my C last time has scored goal in gw2 so i always expecting 2pointers
Open Controls
-
-
Always captain a player that has good form. At the moment, Michu doesn't have much of that so he's not even a consideration under me - and I own him... Also I've noticed you tend to captain players just to prove other people wrong which I don't think by the sounds of it has been working too well for you.

Where to use my two FT? Probably want to save 1.

Wilson to Terry
Open Controls-
Not a great fixture for Terry this week or next though.
Was also thinking of keeping a decent amount in the bank for a possible Aguero transfer next week.Open Controls-
I just think long term with transfers, and would only do it now as Wilson seems the only concern in your team.

Its fine, just get Koscielny out next week, Arsenal don't do clean sheets.

Apart from Michu, Kosc and Migs all those players have averaged a good haul over the past few weeks. So i'm guessing you either get them after their hauls(aka bandwagoning) or you are expecting 70 points a week which wont happen. Getting in Townsend for a hit this week is an example of what you should not do!! Also captain ppl you think will get points no cause "ppl are taking him out" like you said above with michu. West Ham have been gr8 defensively and Michu has not been as prolific as last year(i own him so not a bias or anythin) so dont captain him. Ozil, Giroud playing Crystal palace. Dont overthink rest/rotation and captain the player with form and fixture on their side
Open Controls-
What were your transfers this week? Ignoring Ramsey, Clyne (both i'm sure you could have gotten this week for Kosc/Eriksen/Arnie) is hurting you too.
Open Controls -
do you know why i get townshat in this gw?
i could gone for any other player as i have almsot 3M in bank...but from what i seen he is great player and will deliver points
aslo so far this season i've been patient as somone could be and didnt jump at single badwagon so far
decided to do something different and try change season around...
good advice anyways , thank keithOpen Controls

Looks really good to be honest, just a question of time before it turns. You say you did -4pts this gw? Who did you transfer?
Open Controls-
i did Eiksen and Arnie OUT , Haz and Townshat in

What would you wildcard to? Would look quite similar I would have thought. No more hits this week necessary. Personally over the coming weeks I would look to trade up one of your strikers to either Suarez or Aguero to give you a better captaincy option for most weeks. Too many variables to recommend how you get there but I would downgrade one or more of Ming, Kos or potentially Hazard, Michu to fund it.

Neil Taylor anyone (if Davies is indeed out)?
Swans defence at 4.4m for 3-4 weeks seems a good option?Open Controls-
Yep, he's out for 3-4 weeks. I wouldn't bring a defender in for that length of time personally but if you're planning a wildcard then he's obviously the cheapest way into the Swans' defence. And he could even steal his place back if he really performs. They were rotated about equally at the end of last season when Naylor first came back from his leg-break.

Just pay .6 more and get Vorm

Down to these 2 options I think:

b) Nolan -> Hazard (and bench Ravel. Means no Aguero next week)

u need not use the WC this week......
your defense is probably what everyone's looking for this week [though i doubt vidic and toure will do any good; Lovren has had a nice run of CS- how more does he want really ]
mid and attack is good to... at least chelsea/ city coverage isn't a must for this week [may not be true]
Surprisingly, the goalkeeper which i can't like at all, should finally have a clean sheet...Open Controls -

Hi guys, I'm looking at bringing hazard in this week, I have cash in the bank so can swap him for Moses or Eriksen.
Initial thoughts are Moses as he has been poor the last few weeks. Eriksen was rested after WC games and holtby brought in fresh - I fully expect Eriksen to start against Hull as he is the one most likely to find a chink in a heavily manned defence.
So...Moses to Hazard a good idea?Open Controls-
Leave the transfer til next week and then chop them both
