The Big Numbers – Gameweek 12

As always, we cast our eye over the statistics across the previous round of matches to highlight some of the stand-out performers. Chelsea’s change of formation bodes well for their midfield veteran, United’s former Toffee provides chances aplenty, Villa’s misfiring frontman still has reason for optimism, while Liverpool’s young full-back delivers a tenacious display in the Merseyside derby:

          I agree, CS chances aren't strong. Unfortunately I've got other fish in my squad that need frying, but if you haven't then Vidic out isn't a bad move.

          Sometimes players like Hazard are a risk worth taking, but you have to take the rough with the smooth with them. Problem is they are rarely completely rested so a good chance for a 1 pt cameo - but a plus point is they both still have a tendency to score ok even when coming on as sub. If you can live with the team sheet uncertainty then there really isn't a lot wrong with owning them.

    Morning folks. I could do with a new long-term defender to start this week.

    A) Terry (expensive and only shut out West Ham since ... Forever)
    B) McAuley (Newcastle might not be the best start)
    C) Jon Flanagan (cheap but Pool's cleanie potential is iffy and he might not even stay in)

    D) Play Chester (LIV) or Clyne (che), save a FT and look again next week.

      GJ's a more secure Flanagan option. Your back up defenders aren't very inspiring this week - but a saved FT ends up a better strategy if your new defender blanks.

          Can't fault that plan. I'd fancy GJ more than Terry, though should you go ahead with a transfer - next 3 fixtures look lucrative, and he's always an option to ship out on a 2FT week if you need to redistribute funds.
