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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        Absolutely, also it would be devastating if Neg got injured so therefore they will probably rotate.

      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)

    0.6 in bank, 1FT. I am taking a 4 point hit - I cant stand Sess in my team anymore despite him facing Hull I am not willing to keep him. I am not interested in Walcott as I dont think Ozil or Ramsey--->Theo is worth a -4 with CHE(H) next

    Sess + Aguero--->

    A - Negredo + 9.9M mid (Silva, Yaya or Oscar)
    B - Lukauku + Any price Mid (Silva or Hazard)

    Lukaku Suarez

    Any method to this madness or am I deluding myself?

      It's been a story of forwards so far this season, and as long as that's not cooling off, I think 3-4-3 is the best formation imo

      Essentially comes down to Negredo or a big htting mid. Take your pick. either way looks decent.

      Ive got Haz, Wally, Silva, Ramsey (Januzaj)

      ...............Suarez, Lukaku, Negredo

      Think I prefer Negredo

    Surely it's a no brainer yes? Silva by far the better player snd I think will now play further up?

        But I really wanted to do this move last week and didn't because it was for a hit so I planned on doing it this week till bloody Aguero got injured!

          I'm in exactly the same position! Have had an eye on doing Nasri > Silva but am now looking at getting them both in for the Fulham game.

          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.

      He would have got nothing from 5 goals if it hadn't been for some 96th minute madness. People can get him if they want.

    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.
