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:
Getting Kos in this week disrupts my plans as I'd hoped ti have 2 FTs for GW23 (unlikely if Kun is fit and ready in GW22). But if I wait until wc he'll be 6.0 or more at this rate. Might be best to just bite the bullet and get him now before the price rises.
But for Evans (and play Ki (ful)
or Clyne (and bench Ki)

0 FT and 1.9m in the bank. Everything in order?Open Controlsnot playing evans?
Open ControlsIt's a tough one.
Burner vs a toothless West Ham looks like a sound choice atm. United have also been conceding in every other game. What do you think?Open Controls
I would put Evans above Pozuelo, in fact I would play him over Burner
Open ControlsI would give it a 5/10 for the following reasons.
Your GK will not get you points most weeks and you really need a good rotation if you get 2 budget GK.
Your defence is missing best points scorer [Coleman] and if you plan on 2 premium defenders and rotating other 3 then you have spent too much [i.e. Evans], one of them rarely plays and the other two don't have good rotation potential
Your midfield is probably your strongest area although you should get rid of Pozuelo as he does not play that often and only usually comes off the bench.
Your strikers would have been good a few weeks ago but Rooney seems to be carrying an injury which could limit his gametime and Moyes is playing him out of position as well. Negredo has a poor record of scoring away from home and his recent points haul has been poor.Open ControlsCheers mate. Still got my WC to play. Will sort out the weak areas then.

Does this need WC or save?Open ControlsMy new girlfriend definitely turns a few heads. (she is a chiropractor)
Open ControlsEden Hazard is an absolute beast and he isn't even playing as well as he did for Lille
Open Controlsthe defenders in BPL are better than france
Open Controlsindeed
Open Controls
In fairness at Lille he was the standout guy. Although he's still doing great at Chelsea, he's now just one a whole host of ludicrously talented attacking midfielders
Open ControlsEntrance to Eden is gettin very expensive. 10.4 after tonight's rise.

Open ControlsLallana or Eriksen? I sold Lallana earlier this season so stubbornness is leading me to Eriksen. But what say you?

Open ControlsOption 3. Do you really want Chamakh (and I support Palace!) in your WC team?
Open Controls
3 for me

WC Team:

Suarez Rooney J-rod
0.7 ITB for rooney aguero trade
Go ahead and WC?Open ControlsOscar? Azpil? Don't get me started on Delph!!!
Open ControlsDelph is the cheapest (4.3) regular starter
Oscar is ace...only a month ago many couldn't split him and hazard
Azpi getting same points as terry (a million more)Open Controls
I'm guessing with that midfield JRod is just bench fooder
In that case, might as well just get ChamakhOpen ControlsNo J rod a starter. Delph the bencher.
Open Controlsbut you have 4 big defenders, 4 big mids, Suarez and Rooney/Kun
Something has to giveOpen Controlsnot much difference, hold on to your wc for a few weeks mate

Oscar and Hazard seems a bit much for me. Perhaps Oscar and downgrade Hazard to sort out Delph!?

Can't believe Taarabt didn't make an appearance in the Big Numbers - more shots per appearance (5.5) than any other player over the festive period.
He's like the floater that won't disappear 🙂Open ControlsGetting more and more tempted to wildcard. Team is in decent shape but I'm ranked 400k at the minute, miles behind my ml leader. Worried about falling even further behind at the minute. My team is
Mannone (Lewis)
Kos, Chester, Distin (M.Olsson, Ward)
Hazard, Silva, Wally, Cabaye (Sterling)
Suarez, Rooney, Negredo
1FT, .3 in the bank so not too much to work with. Considering Cabaye > Eriksen but it feels sideways. Negredo also looked poor last time out and I'm worried about his minutes despite Newcastle's mini-defensive crisis. Any opinions on my team are welcome, I know in my head I don't need to wildcard but having 3 guys in the same match in the week which many rivals are wildcarding is worrying.Open Controlscabaye to lallana and you are all set. wildcard when aguero returns
Open ControlsSzczesny harper

Yaya Cabaye Walcott Shelvey Fer

Should I use my 1 FT to get Lallana for Cabaye or some other transfer?
Thanks in advance 😉Open Controlsin your case i would look to lose shelvey/fer with your FT. probably Fer, not much goal threat imo and norwich are too inconsistent
Open ControlsI was planning that but if I get rid of Fer I have only 6.8 Million and if I get rid of Shelvey I have 6.4
Any suggestions of who to get in?Open Controls
cheers for the response. unfortunately .1 off Lallana 🙁 prefer him to eriksen myself.
Open Controls
I'd go for it now! If you've only got .3 in bank now you'll be priced out of your WC upgrades whilst everybody else is pushing the price up!
Open Controls
Is Nastasic nailed on?
Open ControlsI thought Demichelis was a favourite of Pellegrini, due to having played for him before.
I think Nasti is a better player. But City let two in at Swansea.Open Controls
Home against Swansea he's gotta do something if he's fit to play
Open Controls0/
Open ControlsProbably, but a lot can change in a week of FPL.
Open ControlsI'm seriously thinking of Rooney to Adebayor as TOTvPAL. Enables me to shift Ramsey too. Am i mad ???!
Open ControlsNope, thats what i'm thinking too. Just waiting for an injury update.
Open Controls
I'm saving my WC for GW23/24 when there are two games in 5 days. It could be carnage.
In the short term, I'm waiting to see what team Wenger puts out vs. Spurs.
Giroud is knackered, Bendtner is injured, Podolski was subbed because he was so bad.
Maybe Tierry Henry will rock up to the Emirates once again.Open ControlsPodolski just not fit yet. When he is...expect fireworks
Open ControlsI'm a bit worried about Walcott getting injured in one of the cup games.
The FA Cup is Arsenal's 3rd priority. But because it is against Spurs they might field a stronger team than they would normally.Open ControlsGnarby will start
Myachi and Gnarby have to be considered.Open Controls
Got a WC team in mind and got exact money for it right now. But, does this one need WCing? Or is it in good enough shape.
Szczesny (Marshall)
Koscielny Kompany Distin Evans (Whittaker)
Hazard Navas Walcott (Januzaj Pozurlo)
Suarez Rooney Negredo
.Open ControlsPersonally I would get rid of Negredo
You might consider Lukaku instead of Negredo to free up some funds elsewhere and hopefully could afford Yaya or Silva for Navas or Januzaj
A bit of help here for WC here please 🙂

I have my (5-team) draft league’s mid-season re-draft coming up on Sunday, and I’m putting together my master player rankings.
I’m currently 1st place, giving me the 5th/6th/15th/16th/etc. picks of the snake draft. Given the ~100m FPL budget, value per point is also a major consideration.
My current top 35 are:
1 Suarez
2 Aguero
3 Rooney
4 Walcott
5 Hazard
6 Lukaku
7 Silva
8 Ozil
9 Van Persie
10 Negredo
11 Yaya
12 Ramsey
13 Baines
14 Kompany
15 Coleman
16 Giroud
17 Sturridge
18 Cabaye
19 Oscar
20 Lallana
21 Mertesacker
22 Coutinho
23 Adebayor
24 Soldado
25 Zabaleta
26 Kosc
27 Terry
28 Barkley
29 Remy
30 Evra
31 Januzaj
32 Benteke
33 Rodriguez
34 Evra
35 Walker
What do you think of my rankings? Would you place anyone on the list ahead of these guys? All thoughts are appreciated!Open ControlsNo Mata 😯
Open Controlsrooney not 3rd, van persie not 9th, two evras and both should be higher
Open ControlsExcellent, thanks. Where would you move them to? Obv Rooney lower, RVP higher/lower?
Open Controls
I would group them by position for starters as you it is possible that you end up with a terrible attack and midfield but have an amazing defence and GK.
Just pick your top 15 strikers, top 25 midfielders, top 25 defenders and top 10 GK.Open ControlsThanks for the advice. I have these positional listings:
FWD
suarez
aguero
rooney
Lukaku
RVP
Negredo
Giroud
Sturridge
Adebayor

Hi guys, I'm slowly moving up after a rather disappointing start I want to keep it that way, can you help me out?

Hazard Yaya Walcott Whittingham Ravel
Suarez Rooney Adebayor
1 FT
0.5 in the bank
I was thinking of getting Ravel out for Sterling or someone, but Rooney is now an injury doubt too. Any advice?
Cheers 🙂Open ControlsMaybe Ade for Lukaku or someone else. Make it a cheap enough striker though to free up funds 🙂

Lineup problem, don't know if I have the staring order right:
Mannone (ful)
Skrtel (stk) - Metrs (avl) - Coleman (NOR)
Lallana (WBA) - Hazard (hul) - Silva (new) - Wally (avl)
Suarez (C) - Rooney (SWA) - Luk (NOR)
Davis (WBA) sterling, dawson (CRY), chester
Not sure if to
A) play Davis as he is at home
B) play dawson instead of Skrtel and Tott in at home to Palace
C) Bench Rooney as he is playing deeper and start Sterling as he may get better feeds with SG back.
Help please..Open Controlsoh yeah, there should be. here's hoping

Walcott Hazard Yaya all are away next gw 😯
Is this good or bad news?Open ControlsDoesn't make a difference for any of them.

Which of these sounds more appealing?
A) Cabaye and Baker > Colback and Kosc for free, next week do Chester > Evans
B) Cabaye and Baker > Colback and Kosc for free, next week do Clyne > NastasicOpen ControlsYou'll buy Evans before an away game at Chelsea? 😯
Open Controls
I'll have to keep Rooney I think
Need to prioritise getting Kos in before his price soars by the time I come to wc and unless he's confirmed out v Swansea I can't see it being worth a hit to swap to WelbeckOpen ControlsI haven't the funds or FTs to get an Arsenal defender in, just yet.
But they will concede against Villa, won't they? So I won't miss the boat.Open Controlscannot see villa scoring. arsenal will want vengeance after first game of season
Open ControlsIt's less about the points, more about the price you'll pay later
Open ControlsYes, good point. Either way, I'll have to wait until after the FA Cup game.
Open Controls
you have already missed the boat
Open Controls
Cabaye to Lallana? Or maybe Erikson? Newcastle fixtures looking not so good
Open ControlsHow many considering Vertonghen at the WC? On the verge of dropping back below 7 and new Spurs look better.
