With Chelsea’s win at the Etihad bringing Gameweek 24 to its conclusion, we delve into the data once again. Stoke’s midfield goal hero, West Ham’s target man, United’s fit-again frontmen and the knock-on effect Liverpool’s downturn in possession has had on a certain Uruguayan all come under our analysis this time around:
Mannone (Krul)
Shaw, Cahill, Kosc, Coleman, Merte
Lallana, Hazard, A Johnson, Yaya Januzaj
Suarez, Dzeko, Sturr
I feel like I have 14 potential starters.
Who to bench?Open Controls
Which is better?
A) Wilshere to Silva or Lallana
B) Kolarov and Wilshere to Reid and Yaya -4
C) Giroud and Wilshere to J Rod and Yaya -4Open Controls
a) lallana
deal with kolarov next weekOpen Controls
I just brought Evans into my WC last week... Anyone know what his status is?
Should I do a straight swap for Azpi this week (for free)? Anybody know if he is nailed on as a starter??Open Controls
Luckily had terry and cahill in for their magnificent win v city. Greeeeeen Arrow!!
This is me now:
How is it for the weekend?
Mannone - Boruc (stuck between the 2)
ward - gabbidon - cahill - terry (kolarov)
Lallana - yaya - hazard - (januz - sterling)
Bentekkers - Sturridge - SuarezOpen Controls
Interesting reading re. captains this week...
Open Controls
One of my favourite articles on this site.
Lot of good stuff in their today. Good work Paul.Open Controls
People doubling up on Chelsea defence, Who are you going for?
Trying o get a replacement for Evans.
Cheers 🙂Open ControlsI was thinking Azpi, but I'm unsure if he is nailed on... Cole has to be back sooner than later...
Open Controls
So, does Laudrup leaving make Bony a better or worse option for the weekend?
Open Controls
Worse I would think.
Open Controls
I hope monk starts ngog 🙂
Open Controls
I've gone ahead and benched Bony, he just isn't consistent enough, can't see that improving now.
Open Controls
Neither. Its more down to the ten men behind him deciding if they are up for a game or not. He looks like the sort of player who puts 110% in every week to me.
Open Controls
Hard to tell yet Spencer. The players have looked very out of sorts of late. Not the hunger for a result they had last season.
Perhaps a change will be good, but it's hard to tell until they've played a couple of games. Bit of a gamble.
Leaving Rangel on the bench last week was odd if he wasn't injured.Open Controls
hmm Willian and double Chelsea attack or Cahill and double defence?
Open ControlsAlways more fun doubling up on attack. But midfield offers so many more great options. Hard to get rid of some.
Willians stats are truly enticing, but he seems to be more of a creator than a finisher. I would prefer it if he started scoring some himself.Open Controls
@Granville: 9th longest seriving manager? I'm counting him as 12th using the wiki-list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_Football_League_managers
But still, as I said, a lot of managerial changes these past two years with only Wenger, Pardew and Allardyce warming the chair for more than 2 years.Open Controls
Allardyce less than 2yrs in PL. 9th sounds low. Trying to work out who's been there longer. Rodgers, Lambert, Hughton, and your three.
Open ControlsAllardyce appointed 1st of June 2011.
I think the wikipedia article is pretty reliable.
Moyes appointment depends on how you defined it. He was announced some time in early May, but officially entered the position on the 1st of July.Open Controls
Swansea have just relegated themselves... Awful decision
Open Controlsthat remains to be seen.
they may rise to the top like when Spurs cut that boat anchor AVB loose.Open Controls
That is a neat analogy, but they're pretty much sitting where AVB left them.

so anyone still keeping bony?
Open Controlstell me when you decide 😀
Open Controls
As they're facing Cardiff, who's not exactly impressed defensively, it's hard to get rid of him this week, at least for a hit.
But he really is too unreliable, and at that price JRod is a much better choice.Open ControlsSpencer asked the same thing five comments up Chu. Maybe join in there.
Open Controls
Who knows.. maybe new management could make Swansea more direct which would definitely help Bony.. and don't expect a Cardiff clean sheet.
Open Controls
is it crazy that I have opted for Lambert?
Open Controls
Boruc
Ward, Terry, Evans
Hazard, Gerrard, Mata, Eriksen
Suarez, Sturridge, Giroud
Davis, Ki, Koscielny, Whittaker
To many players in the Liverpool/Arsenal game, plus Evans possibly injured and Whittaker unlikely to play, so who to replace?
A) Whittaker to Reid
B) Gerrard to Yaya or Silva
C) Giroud to Dzeko or NegradoOpen Controls
gerrard to yaya
Open Controls
Snodgrass surely has to begin racking up decent points. If stats mean anything at all.
Open ControlsI agree

Random question:
SCOUTS
How much money would you request for someone to buy your domain? 😛Open Controls
Why is there a blank GW 28 for some clubs? Which clubs are affected?
Cheers.Open Controls
Anyone playing Bennet against MCI?
very risky given previous affair was 7-0 + mci is going to come eager to play well i imagine. Did not wan to use "chichi" > Cahil since wanted Dzeko, but best to get Cahill and avoid Bennet playing right?Open ControlsB
Open Controls
Good to go with this lot???
Marshall Speroni
Kosc--Cahill--Gabbidon--R Bennett--Baker
Hazard--Lallana--Yaya--Mirallas--Colback
RVP--Giroud--SuarezOpen Controls
Should I do Ade to Dzeko for free
or
Mert to Cahill for free?Open ControlsI'd like to start a minileague with a budget cap of 90.0m
template midfield?
Snodgrass - Puncheon - Zaha - Adam - LallanaOpen Controls
Would put Sterling in that
Open Controls
If Wilshire returns against Liverpool, who is most likely to make way, Podolski or Ox?
Open Controls
I'm not an Arsenal fan and do not watch them on a regular basis, so I could be wrong. However, the games I have watched, Wilshere has played in the pivot most of the time, which is where Ox is playing just now. Not saying Ox will be dropped for him though.
Open Controls
Guys, need some help here, what should be my priority?
A defence - ship bruce or merte for cahill/fonte
B mids - try to get lallana and yaya (for caz and zaha?)
C forwards - sell bony (jrod?)
mannone (marshall)
ward azpi coleman (merte bruce)
punch hazard mata cazorla (zaha)
bony studge suarez

Open Controls
Mannone or Boruc to play next GW ??
Open ControlsI finally overtook my main league rival this week and am in first by only 10 points. He captains Suarez every week. Do I go with Suarez this week to counter or either Rooney/Mata at home to Fulham to try and capitalize?
