The Big Numbers – Gameweek 16

16 December 2013 3991 comments

Paul

A number of midfielders are placed under the spotlight, with Arsenal, City, Chelsea and Liverpool all serving up some strong statistics. The performance of United’s frontmen at Villa and Tottenham’s inability to find the net under the now-departed Andre Boas-Villa also come under analysis as we delve into the data.

How does this sound?

Pozuelo and Aguero -----> Yaya and Hooper for (-4)

I think it has potential. My midfield would then be:

Silva Yaya Ozil Ramsey Hazard

Str: Suarez Hooper Lukaku

  I think Pelle will go one up top vs Fulham, but it'll be Negredo with Silva in behind. Navas and Nasri on the flanks.
  
  He can then rest Negredo from 60-70 mins in each of their 3 upcoming fixtures.
  
  Perfect opportunity vs Fulham to try out the 4-2-3-1 for the Liverpool game.

Might use this Aguero injury to bolster mid and avoid Fonte dropping:

Pantilimon (Given)
Coleman, Mertesacker, Flanagan, (Collins, Fonte)
Ozil, Oviedo, Hazard, Ramsey, (Shelvey)
Lukaku (VC), Suarez (C), Aguero

So, £0.3m in the bank, 2FT. So here’s my idea, I can only do it today:
Fonte -> £4.3m defender or less (Gabiddon?)
Aguero -> Negredo
Shelvey -> Silva (-4)

Thoughts?

Aguero to Welbeck. Saw the game highlights & he was prominent & looked dangerous whereas you wouldn't of known Rooney was on the field. Is anyone else considering him. Moyes is hardly going to change a winning side & Welbeck should retain his position. Thoughts.

Would you get Negredo for Aguero if it meant getting Walcott for Fer for a hit? Or get Rooney and leave Fer? In other words:
A) Fer and Aguero to Negredo and Wally (-4)
B) Aguero to Rooney (FT) and keep Fer.

My team for GW 17 is

      Nasri looks key to the way Citeh are attacking and I'd hate for him to get more minutes than Silva after I've shipped him out.

I really don't agree that Rooney is the 'lazy' pick, or the casuals choice to replace Aguero.

He has 4 good fixtures over Christmas, will be the first name on the teamsheet (crucial at this time of year), just got his suspension out of the way, and surely United have turned the corner. At least a little.
