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.

    Would you rather have
    A) Mertesacker Fernandinho
    B) Ward Silva

    Mertesacker has some great fixtures after GW17

    Reading the article and thinking about Spurs' shooting woes makes me think it would be hilarious if they replaced AVB with Wenger -- they would drive him crazy with their profligate ways. If you could transplant any current manager into any other PL team, either for serious results or more comic reasons, who would you switch?

        Long throws into the box so all those midget midfielders could look at it and then back up to trap it on their shoe laces -- would test my allegiance to be sure.

    A risky one considering no Rooney (who is getting mega transfers in) but...

    OUT: Aguero / Barkley / Ravel

    IN: CHAMAKH(!) / Yaya / Walcott

    This leaves me with a 3-5-2 attacking line of:

    Hazard / Yaya / Walcott / Ramsey / Redmond

    Suarez / Lukaku

    NB - CHAMAKH's value is almost identical to Mr. Suarez this season. Seriously, check it!

      I'm not a current Ramsey owner, so he can be replaced with anyone really.

      Lacks Man U coverage, but a mega upgrade to MID with Chamakh as the bench striker. But good attacking coverage of 5 of the big 7.

      I've got serious reservations myself about ignoring Rooney...

      ... but it allows a much better midfield.

      The only strikers worth having really are Suarez/Lukaku/Rooney if you ask me, as City have a few midfielders worth owning.

      I've got Suarez/Lukaku, but not sure about Rooney.

        Hmm I might just do that, although any chance of a wba backlash from the sacking?

      Keep an eye on Chico's knee progress. He hurt it in the Europa League game last Thursday.

        My thoughts exactly - aren't trolls meant to be witty though?

      Question has been asked in an infinite number of ways... Go with your gut for Rooney or Negredo... I have gone with Negredo as City are in awesome goal scoring form at least at home and have 2 home GWs coming up... Rooney can be explosive but he's having to do all the heavy lifting for United and dont see him outscoring Negredo by all that much...

        Yes... if only there was a way of getting all Aguero posts in one place.... every page has the same question in 3 different ways!

    A) Kun -> Rooney

    B) Kun, Whittingham and Terry -> Negredo, Walcott and 5.3 defender for -8?
