With the frantic festive period now behind us, we can finally take stock and assess the statistics over the last few matches. Having last looked at the data in Gameweek 17, we have three sets of matches to investigate – Arsenal’s midfield, Tottenham’s attack and United and City’s frontmen are all placed under the microscope this time around:
Top?

Did you know Moyes is born on the 25/4/1963
If you do 2x5x4x1x9x6x3 you will get 6480
Add 6, 4,8 and 0 and you get 18.
So Moyes should be a lucky manager, according to Tan's theory.
Don't worry fellow Man U fans this is 2014 is gonna be a good yeah
Note- For 2014
2x1x4=8
So 2014 is a lucky year anywayOpen Controls5th line should be "Don't worry Man U fans, 2014 is gonna be a good year"
Open Controls
Typing all that out and making a basic error!
Gloucester folk for ya...Open Controls
However Moyes only has 7 orifices on his head.
Open ControlsThat's a LOT of blocked pores…..

Why did you post this twice?

Third year in a row I am around 50k at this time of year.... Last 2 years I finished in top 1k at the end.. I hope this season will be the same... but... I am very dissapointed because I can't play first part of season good... If I manage to do that I can finish in top 100 easy..
Is there someone who have similar problem but play very good first part and very bad second part of season??? We can make team together for next year and he can be manager for first 19 gameweeks and I will be from 20-38... We can maybe win the thing together 😀 ...Open Controls
50k at Christmas is not bad. Don't be disappointed.
Open ControlsYes, it is ok, but I don;t know why I need so much gameweeks to find right tactics....
Open Controls
Relax guy. I'm having a mare. Finished top 20k last 3 seasons. Currently 350k!
Ill do v well to finish top 100k!Open ControlsBut every year the same,,,why I can't learn how to play at begining....
Open Controls
Who ?
Open Controls
If you had to pick 1 from Spurs would you go Eriksen or DAD ❓
Open ControlsDad easy
Open Controls
im riding the dad train till it runs out of steam
Open Controls
DAD
Open ControlsEriksen but I still have my doubts, with silva, Hazard, wally and Cabaye looking better he's fifth choice at best
Open Controls
Agree here. Cabaye had a little spurt...being on pens helped. Difficult fixtures ahead
Open Controls
Eriksen then adebayor.
If you are suggesting sold ado I wouldn't yet. Defoe would hog all of the points. Ball greedy lil sh*tOpen Controls
Surely playing the wc is best philosophy?
You get all the players you want before they rise. If you leave money for aguero on the side then you're covered. Where is the negative?
Sure new players will arrive but it's a risk to put them in straight away. If they have a blistering start you can sub in.
Can't see the issue with early wc. There aren't any DGWs are there? Will the league cup shuffle things about?Open Controls
FA Cup may cause DWs as well if 3rd round being played this early in January

If your team is useless use it now.
If you have a good team then wait.Open ControlsMashall (Gazzaniga)
Koscielny Terry Coleman (Gabbidon Chester)
Hazard Sterling Walcott Yaya (Bannan)
Suarez(c) Podolski Rooney
Pretty useless. About 5 players I'd like to cut out.Open ControlsIt's not terrible for the next couple of games.
You have a good defence and the three key midfielders.
Depends if you see any benefit in waiting for Aguero to come back or finding out if Adebayor is fit.
Podolski and Sterling will obviously need shifting at some point.Open ControlsI'm waiting to see if ade is fit...but can have ade suarez n aguero up front
Open Controls
Totally agree!
Open ControlsGlad someone does. Everyone seems to be waiting. A very British thing to do...just join the queue or let others go first.
Take the initiative.Open ControlsSeems very odd that some are taking hits now because those that they want to WC in later are rising in price! If you want 'em...go get'em!
Open ControlsYeah taking hits is ludicrous when wc available. Theres a guy in my league who has 5 players out but is waiting. Very strange
Open Controls
Is Adebayor injured or what's happening?
Open ControlsQueens of the stone age
Open ControlsCramp
Open ControlsIt says 'knock' above in the injuries tab so he's probably ok
Open Controls
- Open Controls
Should I change this
Mignolet Marshall
Coleman Koscielny Williams olsson Chester
Nasri silva Walcott cabaye sterling
Suarez Rooney lukaku
To this
Marshall mannone
Coleman Koscielny nastasic ward Chester
Hazard silva Walcott cabaye jwp
Suarez Rooney AdebayorOpen ControlsI like but I wouldn't touch nastatic and ade may be inj so keep an eye on alternatives
Open ControlsChange Rooney to a Striker who is likely to rise over the next few GW's. Then bring in Aguero.
Open ControlsI might keep Rooney this week to save the FT, then go for Kun. Then find a way to get RvP in for CAR if he's fit
The downside of this would be holding off on Arsenal defence until wc, and that could be bad with price risesOpen Controls
In the unlikely event that Juan Mata found his way to Old Trafford, would you have him in your FPL team or find a way to go SAR?
Open ControlsHands up who have 2 wildcards now
o/Open Controls
Do you have a deathwish or something? 😉
Open Controls
Colaman, Sterling, Huddlestone, Lallana, and now Hazard set to rise.
Open ControlsYup it will end in tears.
Open ControlsWell he's not going to be like CR7…..but I can see why he's seducing some.
Open Controls
Easy tiger.
I can see it.... Nailed on 5th Midfielder for WCers. He's on set pieces, doesn't look too fragile and better bench fodder than eg. Sterling in the long run post WC ?Open Controls
hazard has long since gone as an option for me.... inexorable
Open Controls
Does the site offer a half season membership? (Half the price? ;))
I know £15 isn't much at all but thought I would ask first!Open ControlsMight just have to Kos in this week
don't want to wc until GW24, by then he could easily be 6.0Open ControlsBut....merte looked immense and is much more of an attacking threat...
Open Controlsand costs 1 million more
Open ControlsIts about value for money
Merte 15.2
Kos 13
Plus kos likes to chuck in a few reds and injuries tooOpen Controlsyes but you have to remember that Mert and Kos both started at the same price.. Think about their value their and relate that to current price.
Besides if I was buying a defender based on goal threat, I'd just find another 0,3 and get John TerryOpen ControlsI don't think JT is half the goal threat Merte is.
The only reason (being honest) to put kosc in ahead of merte is the price...that mill could upgrade a player elsewhere.
But I think merte will outscore kosc by at least 30% in remaining games from goals n baps alike.Open ControlsThat's the point, I will need that million before wildcard.
History disagrees with that goal threat statement.Open Controls
Open ControlsIt disrupts my plans to save this week, but so be it
Open Controls
Jedinak, Bannan or JWP as a replacement for Ravel? Just until I wildcard. Max 4,5.
Open ControlsDo people actually think Berba could be a success at Arsenal?
Open Controls- Open Controls
Out of interest:
1. Would Lallana be a regular starter at Utd?
2. Would Barkley be a regular starter at Utd?
3. Would Cabaye be a regular starter at Arsenal?Open Controlslallana would have the same problem as kagawa at united
Open Controls1. Yes
2. As regular as he is at everton
3. Not anymore. An embaressment of riches in midfield. They have since bought ozil so that door is closed.Open Controls- Open Controls
Interesting answers. Thanks.

How was your festive season (GW 17-20)? Was it a bumper or a damp squid?
For me, it was "okay". I went from 242,840th to 103,869, all green arrows and no major squad problems heading into the break. I was targeting breaking the top 100,000, but i'll settle for close to it and some momentum in my season after a very poor start. Hoping for a top 20k finish at the least!
Standout festive signings that paid off for me were Walcott and Debuchy, with Silva getting a nod as well. Only real regret is getting Cabaye instead of Eriksen as my Ramsey replacement, I was weighing the two of them up and comparing stats, and Cabaye just had the superior form and numbers, so I can't moan too much.
Disappointment of the festive period was probably Lukaku, he did okay, but with the fixtures I along with many others were hoping for more..Open Controls
What are Cabaye owners doing? Thinking of ditching for Lallana.
Open Controlsyes. many have done. better fixtures, less yellow cards
Open ControlsYes - only with WC looming and watching price changes and fixtures.
He's a solid player…but the extra 0.1 could give me a decent 4 Mids without him in the line up - so no point keeping him for MCI while the Llama is going up this week (0.2 hopefully) and playing the Baggies at home.Open ControlsWould you pick him over Eriksen? Spurs looking quite solid right now with the new manager.
Open ControlsMainly a short term financial move…
..but Lall has been playing well and getting forward alot.
Slightly better fixtures I felt for the next 2 weeks than Eriksen and so he won out, as hoping to sell him on with my WC.
Long term - difficult to call who will be more effective, but Lallana's track record seems stronger. Cough up a membership and you can check out some really in depth stats - but I haven't gone that far as I am only looking at next 2 weeks.
Big bonus was that he's halfway to gathering 0.2 rise (for 0.1 in the bank) tonight already…and I figure there'll be plenty of people pulling in him or Eriksen in to get me the other missing 0.1 this week.Open Controls
him or oscar yes
Open Controls- Open Controls
I would say no as there are many other viable options. Don't get me wrong if money is no object then you should get him.
The way to look at it is to compare your team with him and your team without him.
You will find most of the players are the same with only a few differences. Therefore, you compare the group of different players and see what group you think will earn most points and go with that option. [well that is how I do it :S]Open ControlsI can get Oscar, gerrard & Chamakh compared to hazard, jwp and adebayor
Open Controlsfirst one, but downgrade gerrard a bit so you can get j.rod over chamakh
Open ControlsI'll have a bench dilemma then
Oscar silva Walcott eriksen cabaye
Suarez aguero rodriguezOpen Controls
I never understand this 'bench dilemma' thing. People seem to think it's better to not have a decent player in their squad at all than to have them on their bench.
Open Controls
But, it's silly to have expensive rotating options on the bench each week...that's what maybe he's trying to say.
With that lineup, JRod becomes the guy who rides the pine most every week.Open Controls
Too many differentials or is this still strong?
WC for GW24 assuming all are fit
Mannone | McGregor
Nasty | Kos | Ward | Chester | Burner
Wally | Yaya | Barkley | Whitt | Brady
RVP | Aguero | Suarez
Have enough money to do Barkley to around 6m so hoping a team signs someone good in that bracket I.e. Sissoko last Jan
CheersOpen Controlsbardsley v brown ?
Open ControlsMannone
SavesOpen Controlsim keepin speroni/howard for the mo
Open ControlsIn that case, Bardsley offers more chance of attacking returns, Browbn more likely to get BAPs if Sunderland keep a cleanie
Open Controlsthats what i figure, mind at 4.5 i can hardly complain
Open Controls
Me too at the moment…but looking seriously at Mannone Marshall for the WC (Have Bardsley already).
Aguero casts a looooong shadow…...Open Controlsexactly.... i have to economise
Open Controls
Bardsley all day.
Open Controlsta
Open Controls
Best option for wildcard
Hazard, jwp & adebayor
Or
Oscar, gerrard, ChamakhOpen Controls
Hope ur joking about Chamakh being a WC suggestion
Open Controls
If Ole buys a new first choice keeper that's ok with me as long he doesn't come in at 5.0
Open Controlssaid no-one ever

How do i add a Grav and why does it seem unnecessarily difficult? Thanks in advance.

Happy new year all. My team for next gameweek.
Mannone
Coleman / Terry / Burner
Walcott / Yaya / Barkley / Hazard
Lukaku / Suarez / Rooney
Ward / Morrison / Rosenoir
1FT nothing in the bank. Would like Koscielney but would mean losing Terry, not keen but would free up funds. Next problem is Morrisons but my selling price is 4.6 million and cant see any decent options in that price bracket. Any advice appreciated?
Cheers.Open Controls
