    Just traded in my broken down Silva for a brand new Hazard. In blue, a very good runner, nifty, great engine, starts every time, great on corners with a lovely finish.

      I think you will find your new drive temperamental and lacks the smooth consistent drive. You will gain some exhilarating spells but you will also experience some hair raising moments when you feel the performance isn't quite matching it's true potential.

    Mertesacker, Coleman, Toure, (Fonte, Collins)
    Nasri, Ozil, Ramsey, Brady (Januzai,)
    Lukaku, Suarez, Aguero

    I've already made one transfer (Barkley -> Ramsey, before the price rise/drop). The team's ok but I think needs some revamping. So, any thoughts on Lukaku -> Remy (-4) and Toure -> Johnson for -8?

      You must be new to this website, FPL points & goals aren't stats we are concerned with here, we focus on % of shots in the box that are on target in the left corner & minutes per throw-in taken extrapolated to indicate assist potential with a multivariate regression.

    I just changed my captain to Aguero, on pretty questionable grounds.

    Teams Spurs have kept clean sheets against:
    Crystal Palace, Swansea, Norwich, Cardiff, Aston Villa, Hull, Everton.

    Teams Spurs have conceded against:
    Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, Newcastle.

    Possible conclusion: when they come up against a decent attack, they concede. And Man City's attack at home is arguably the best in the league.

        Watson. Had time to change that too 🙂 I don't even watch cricket. Didn't know it was on until I came on here about 20 mins ago. Thought it was good fun last time though so why not 🙂

      He was rested as a precaution as he is not long back from injury and it was only a friendly. I think he is fine

    I'm giving serious captaincy consideration to Ivan over Hazard. Can Chelsea keep a CS at West Ham?
