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.
Did anybody else check out Wally's stats last week and avg position ?...compare him to Giroud and/or Aguero...It's good stuff.
Open ControlsI'll go have a look now
ThanksOpen ControlsIf it was anything like it was before he was injured, he plays advanced of Girood on average.

Walcott average position - He's a FWD.Open ControlsI think it's probably average positions based on touches, rather than movement. Not sure how they normally work.
For instance, I think it might sometimes be misleading when teams get thrashings because of the strikers taking the kick offs - eg Soldado 6-0 vs City... and perhaps Giroud on Saturday.Open Controls
Ditto - thank you.

I am half tempted to give him the armband.

AVB sacked by Spuds in less than half a season.
Moyes will probably still be at United whatever happens this year.
Which team will fare better in the long run? My guess is that it won't be the one from London.Open ControlsDawson > GJ for a hit?
Rest of defence is
Howard Lewis
Turner Vlaar Chester McAuley XOpen ControlsNope! I think GJ will get a cleanie this weekend but if you do a -4 you'll get 2 points. Anyone from your bench must be able to get a 2 pointer.

Finally lost patience with Terry. Who to replace him with?
a - Jagielka (already have Coleman)
b - Mertesacker
c - J.Evans
d - ZabaletaOpen ControlsMert

There seems to be a lot more casual success stories on here than last season.
#Yaya #RamseyOpen Controls#Kolarov
Kidding.Open ControlsAgreed Ramsey kinda came out of nowhere.
But Yaya averages 140-150 points a season and he is now on free kicks. So him doing better this season isn't a "casual success"Open ControlsYeah I have he usually gets 6th goals a season add in free kicks and I expected that he would score more goals. A player who gets on average 150 points a year is not a casual success story.
Open Controls
If there are, it is purely down to the obsession with this semi-imaginary "casual" player having increased

Posted this earlier today but it was lost among the CL draw posts so I thought I'd go for it again.
I thought I'd throw together a quick table to look at players who are having a large amount of shots in order to examine the quality of those shots by looking at things like big chance conversion, the percentage of goal attempts in the box, shot accuracy and goal conversion.
Before looking, I was interested to know about players like Soldado, Paulinho and Remy, who have been accused of having misleading stats in the sense that they have a large amount of shots but few goals to show for it.
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4606/
After a quick look, I was interested by the following:
- Paulinho, Sess, Benteke and surpisingly Walcott's big chance conversion
- Özil, Wally, Chamak, Arnautovic, Sess, Ravmo, Cabaye, Giroud and Paulinho's shot accuracy
Raddy pointed out that Berba in the last 3 GWs is interesting (filer by GW range). Anyone else find some interesting stats?Open ControlsHow are remys stats tink ?
Open ControlsPay up.
Open Controls
Great stuff. Look at Walcott for the City game alone, incredible.
Open ControlsNice
Open Controls
This is quite an interesting stat...ICT threat index per team comprising of iaccumalative threat ratings from all players within a team...The top team has been romping it for weeks...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/3846/
Open ControlsI read it and did not understand it but it was green so I up voted it.
Open Controls
A) Aguero + Sess > Negredo + Silva
B) Aguero + Sess > Negredo + Walcott
C) Aguero + Ozil > Negredo + Walcott
D) Augero + Ozil + Sess > Negredo + Silva + Walcott (-4)Open ControlsWorth taking the -4 hit to do Sess -> Yaya ?
Open Controls- Open Controls
Thinking about getting a United defender...who should it be though? Rafael, Jones or Evans?
Leaning towards Rafael as he impressed in the last game..Open ControlsRafa for me if he's affordable
I'm getting JEvans this week I think. Terry can feck right offOpen ControlsTempted to do Koscielny to Evans for another hit alongside Aguero & Brady ➡ Lukaku & Silva, but I think i'll resist.
Saw a discussion today on who the next United captain should be(on Redcafe I think), a majority opted for Evans over Jones, am I missing something about Evans, as surely Jones is the natural born leader?Open Controlsin order to afford Brady to Walcott I need to do Terry to Evans
Open Controls
Looking at it myself as I think I need rid of Terry, the current top choice replacement for me is Rafael.
Open ControlsDdg

Liverpool owe so much to Kenny Dalglish for bringing them their only success is so many years.
He bought Suarez.Open ControlsI slated him season before last as his finishing was laughable.
Hes improved so muchOpen ControlsCanceled out by paying 50m for Carroll though. Criminal
Open Controls
well think im gona take a hit and a slight punt here guys

ozil ramsey hazard whit morrison
aguero lukaku suarez
aguero + ozil > rooney + silva (-4)
was going to do negredo but felt like i was putting all my eggs in one basket...Open ControlsI've resisted that too.
Ozil on fewer yellow if that makes any difference !Open Controls
Any thoughts on this for -8...
Aguero + Brady + Terry to Negredo + Walcott + Evans?
Madness?Open ControlsMe likey
Open Controls
Have to bench one... but who?
Ramsey (CHE), Walcott (CHE) , Hazard (ars), Silva (ful), Cabaye (cry)Open Controlswhat is your front three with that midfield? probably cabaye
Open ControlsThanks.
I have Suarez, Negredo and Lukaku.
does that change anything?Open Controls
Cabaye
Open Controlscheers!
will do. last time he had 10 points on the bench hahaha. just my luck.Open Controls
Aguero to Rooney (free) plus take a hit for:
1. Ozil to Yaya
2. Ozil to Walcott
3. Save
4. Sod Rooney, do Aguero+Shelvey to Silva/Yaya+Negredo (and downgrade Ozil next week)Open ControlsAguero, Barkley, Cech > Negredo, Silva , Howard
8point hit
Fortune favours the brave?!Open ControlsWorried about Silva on 4 yellows? That's one deterrent for me.
Open ControlsI once worried about Cabaye on 4 yellows
As a result I ended up with SessOpen ControlsI rue the day I took the Sess plunge.
Open Controls
He's only got to avoid it for 3 games. And it would only be a one match ban anyway.
Open ControlsI think I'm going Silva, myself.

Anybody know if I can use the January wildcard in December?
🙂Open ControlsSure is. He is one of the best picks around.
Open Controls
Remy or Negredo?
Open ControlsAguero, Brady, Clyne -> Lukaku, Silva, Ward for -8 hit!
Madness?Open ControlsThis.
Open ControlsExcellent article, if only I could give it upvotes 🙂
Open Controlsgive them to me and 'll pass them on one day
Open Controls
5.4m def.. Distin or Evans? already have Coleman.
Open ControlsJEvans all day
Open Controls
Evening all.
Couple of questions. If a player is red flagged can they drop in price?
Remy + Terry --> Rooney + Chester or
Remy--> negredo
CheersOpen Controlsis there anything more depressing than the 7mil sort of area for midfielders. it's not just this season either, i find that part of the list pretty offensive every season
Open ControlsThay why i take hits early on every season to build tv..The big hitters eventually come through
Open Controlsdoes it help you rise up the rankings in the 2nd half of the season though?
Open Controls
Mirallas is definitely worth considering if you don't already have 3 everton players.
Open Controls
someone said ozil is dropping tonight? not according to totalfpl??
