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.

    They should replace the Captain's poll with "Who should i replace Aguero with?"

      Agreed.

      If people don't captain Suarez this week they shouldn't bother with FPL.

        As long as he is fit, I will probably captain Suarez until the final curtain falls on gameweek 38.

      If people did not have the aptitude of picking a replacement themselves.... then they should;t be playing FPL.

    Evening lads!
    Please help me out with this lot:
    1FT, 0.7£
    Begovic (Myhill)
    Ward Shaw Coleman (Terry, Rat)
    Bacuna Brunt Hazard Ramsey Whittingham
    Rooney Suarez(C) (Aguero)

    Was thinking:
    1. Agüero + Brunt -> Negredo + Nasri - 4p (exact amount)
    2. Agüero -> Negredo (not hit)
    3. Other suggestion?

              The signs weren't great against Arsenal, but with Kompany back I can't see them doing anything but bossing things from here.

                Kompany only has 1 clean sheet from 8 appearances this season. I'm not sure you can rely on him to suddenly turn them into a defensive rock, not the way Pellegrini plays.

    Average of how many minutes it takes city players to get 1 point:
    Yaya - 14.1
    Silva - 12.9
    Nasri - 14.6
    According to this Silva is the best option but is it worth the money over Nasri. Will they play a 4-5-1 with Silva behind Negredo/Dzeko?

        I'd worry more about not having Rooney for Man Us fixture than Negredo for theirs. I can also get a choice of Man City midfielders but no one from Man U in their midfield is attractive. Negredo is also not as nailed on as Rooney.

        No competition IMHO.

        They both have but Rafael has been injured. If you notice he was subbed off early v Everton and Newcastle as Moyes was easing him back in. Smalling was fit v Villa but Rafael still started and played 90. He was so attacking and was unlucky not to get an assist.

        Have you watched Smalling play rb? He lacks the pace, positional sense or crossing ability to ever truly threaten Rafa in that position, it's like Kos being a threat to Sagna.

        I am getting Evans as i only have 5.3, but if I had the money I'd definitely get Rafa above any of other defenders

      I would. Ozil is past his best price, especially when you look at his mid-fixtures. I'm doing Rooney, and Walcott this week and then swapping Rooney for Negredo the following week when sitteh are at home.

    Terry to Evans as part of a -8, that's how i roll.

    It seems madness, but it's needed as without it i can't afford to do Brady to Walcott.

      Decided to not bother with Walcott til GW 19 at the earliest. Not worth it against CHE or new away.

          Points are more important than price.

            I think it depends on who you are selling

            I am shipping Brady as I can't rely on him, and JWP is bench fodder at best

              I have Brady too and I most definitely will be getting Walcott, just no rush tbh.

                Both Brady and JWP playing against teams without a manager. Massive variable thrown in.

            People panicking, Theo not on first page on FPL so unlikely to rise. The sheep see each other doing it now then go and waste -4 ROFL! Not essential at all this week. Silva much better option.

                You genuinely need him then, but many don't.

        Same mate, don't understand the rush, Wenger still going to be cautious too.

    Well, Rooney as a differential is well and truly gone...

    is it best to ignore coverage and focus on individual scorers or is a triple arsenal midfield too much??

    walcott, ozil and ramsey

      too much spread the risk
      2 mids + 1 def from Arsenal is what I am thinking
