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:

    What does this mean?

    Anderson to Watson, no run, another one scoots through to the keeper and this time it's gloved cleanly

      I would say Anderson played a through ball to Watson but he did not make the run so it went through to the keeper who picked it up cleanly but had not done so previously.

    Speroni | Marshall

    Clyne | Coleman | Koscielny | Vlaar | Chester

            If you sold say Dawson and Henderson, replaced them with budget players you could upgrade to another premoim mid like Gerarrd, Coutinho, Oscar.

            I just don't like having that much money sitting on my bench.

        He is performing very well at the moment and that seemed to have coincided with Sherwood taking over.

        We know he is a quality player from his time at Ajax so I am sure he can keep performing at a consistent level.

        If I did not need to ditch Negredo this week I would probably get Eriksen or Lallana for Cabaye.

                I couldn't say for sure one way or another. He is also at risk of rotation with Djeko.

                I had strong hopes for him when I brought him in but sadly I have lost faith and he is out of here this week. [knowing my luck I will live to regret it lol.]

            Found it difficult to pick anyone at full back for the London side really.

            I'd say the North-West team easily has the upper-hand there, in central midfield and up front, but the London side is stronger at centre back and has more options out wide.

        Looking at it like this B looks the winner by a landslide.

        Any cash left over with B? I prefer B only for Sterling. Sterling won't get as much time when everyone is fit probably. I like Assaidi as a punt.

      What about these for a G.K. pairing Cardiff + Villa

      Marshall 4.7 + Guzan 5.1 = 9.8 Gives from GW 23 for those WC later- WBA, NOR, WHM, AVL, HULL, NOR, FUL, eve, STK, wba, CPL, cpl, STK, sun, HUL, CHE .

      Worth considering I think?

          I initially thought eriksen. But I read lallana is involved in 50% of saints goals.

      I know their defence is threadbare now but is mike williamson at 4.4 a decent option? Seems good value for a top ten club

      I would like to take a moment to thank Samir Nasri for his 2 goals back in week13 which were much appreciated. Getting bugger all since then hasn't gone down too well though so you're out ya fecking pain in the arse.

        If I transfer out all 15 of my players I have 106.2m. Have Hazard, Sterling and Coleman going up today too so might jump to 106.3m or 106.4m

      McGregor - Mannone
      Coleman - Sagna - Williamson - Ward - Chester
      Hazard - Ozil - Walcott - Silva - Cabaye
      Suarez - Aguero - Berahino
