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:
Pretty tired. Night y'all. Bummer I can't DZ with y'all anymore.

Anyone else taking a punt on Benteke for the upcoming weeks?
Open Controls
yep, got him last week.
Open Controls
i want to get im in for Giroud, is it worth -4....i didnt think so
Open Controls
I might look to get him in next week. West Ham have Reid back and played well on the back end last weekend.
Open Controls
Yup. Tek ftw!

Morning all
Everyone seems very chipper right now - did something good happen on Monday night?
Anyway, what do the collected super-brains think of City and Saints for the next few?
Yaya and J.Rod or Lallana and Negredo?Open Controls
Yaya and JRod is probably the safest bet!
Open ControlsAh, Mr. Test Eagles. Why oh why didn't I listen to your advice and get Fonte over Baines on my wild card. I'd have been 14 points better off and would have enough dosh for a punt on RVP......
Yaya seems the safest bet for City atm - Eddy Jecko is wayward, Negredo not 100%, Silva in poor form, Kolarov too wild. Cheers.Open Controls
Lovely team, you could save transfer but a lot in bank, maybe just bring in yaya?
Open Controls
Nah I'm just high 😀
I brought in Lallana this week so I can put off that exact same decision until next weekOpen ControlsHigh at 2pm? Early start there Champ.
Hmm. Stoke's defensive stats are shocking and away from home they're appalling. A Saints double up could be sweet but overall I think I'd prefer J.Rod or Lambert over a city forward. It's very frustrating - suddenly there seems to be a plethora of great options available in every position. Triple Chelsea defence, double Southampton, double City, Dirty Kev, Snoddy, SAS, RVP and even Charlie Adam are looking good right now. Tough to choose, it really is...Open Controls*1pm 😉 Quiet day 🙂

Open ControlsBy the way does this look decent?
Open ControlsDid it work 😯
Open ControlsYeah mate it's quite good. A lot spent on tranny's but that's not always a bad thing depends on your judgement
Open ControlsWell usually spend points on transfers first half season to gain TV value (12.8) but slow down second half

Keep Adebayor or switch to Dzeko (-4) until Aguero is back?
Open Controls
One is not certain to start but started in last 4 GWs. He had 20 attempts but only 8 on target and 3 converted to goals. No assist made.
One is more likely to play bar injury. He had just 5 attempts, but 4 on target and 2 became goals. 1 assist made.
I'm more likely to take the risk. What do you think?Open ControlsI'm leaning towards the risk myself...
Open Controls
Don't fancy Dzeko to start this GW, but he could still snaffle a goal off the bench. It's a genuine 50-50 chance ... what's your bench coverage like?
Open ControlsHe was poor on Monday? I didn't watch the game.
Open ControlsDidn't see the game, but from all reports virtually all the City players were poor.
Didn't sound like Negredo was full fit either... potential for Dzeko to start maybe?Open Controls
Bench is Noone, Coleman, Mert (starting Kolarov, Azpi and Ward).
Open Controls
I have a gut feeling to replace Hazard with Willian, not sure why...
Feels crazy!Open Controls
Don't do it! That _is_ crazy!
Open Controls
Is fairly crazy... Read the above article?
Open Controls
Hazard on the form of his life, would be hard to recover the points with the saved $s
+ it would cost you a transferOpen Controls
I'm liking Willian but Hazard is just brilliant right now. Unwise to drop him
Open Controls
Who 'a the best striker to replace Aguero until he comes back
Thinking Dzeko because he looks the most nailed on City striker atm, they have good fixtures, and I have no city coverage..Open ControlsRVP?
Open Controls
Who is likely to get more points from now till the end of the season?
A. Baines
B. Coleman
Thanks.Open ControlsCheers. But Baines no longer taking free kicks and corners. A bit CS reliant don't you think?
Open Controls
Baines, Penalties and Freekicks
Open ControlsI think Baines will just edge it but the extra mil spent somewhere else could be a benefit (but Baines differential).
Open ControlsCheers Steve.
Open Controls
Mirallas has been taking the free kicks for a few matches now.
Open Controls
Coleman from open play. Baines set pieces. Could go either way tbh
Open ControlsHang on to both then?
Open Controls
Baines more likely
Open ControlsBaines not on free kicks and less attacking than last season, so after owning him recently, i dont think he's worth the extra cash as points will be similar
Open Controls
Thinking on my last post, when's the last time swansea even won in the prem? Also Cardiffs new squad looks threatening and Marshall is on form. Bony > Lambert, Although thinking Bony > Džeko until Jovetic gets more game time. Decisions, decisions.
Open ControlsEither players are less, wait until Friday, price rises etc don't count as much 2nd half season as winter WC played.
Open Controls
What to do
Concerned at negredo fitness impacting form and minutes
Could use 2ft to get in Rvp for him by trading down Kos or kolorov
Or could hope for the best and bring in terry / Cahill for Chester, thus clearing out the dead wood and keeping my spare ft in preparation for gw29
Boruc, Davis
Coleman, Kos, ward, kolorov, Chester
Haz, silva, Erik, lallana, Ki
Suarez, Sturridge, negredo
2ft 3.1m
Suggestions appreciatedOpen ControlsKi to noone (noone least has chance playing gw38), negredo to RVP possible?
Open ControlsUnfortunately no I looked at the downgrade Ki option but I need to raise 0.8 so not possible
Open ControlsHow much you short with that move, maybe kol to aspi (Chelsea)
Open Controls*also (for minus 4)
Open ControlsI can afford it also doing Kos to azpi but it starts to feels like a lot of stuffing around for a player with one great fixture then ars, cpl both away and then a blank. Talking myself out of it, think I might shut my eyes and pray on the weekend and work to yet him in by DGW31
Open ControlsThanks for your help btw
Open Controls
Kolarov to a Chelsea defender?
Open ControlsBut I can keep Kolorov and get Chelsea defender for Chester
The trade would only raise 0.2 which is not enough to fund RVP eitherOpen Controls
Prob not looking at todays transfers in
Open Controls
Benteke or JRod!
(Already have Fonte and Lallana)Open ControlsEriksen to Silva or Lallana or keep?
No other saints or city players in team right now.
thanksOpen Controls
Rooney or RVP?

Instead of finding out if mice are allergic to peanuts or if wheat can grow successfully near orange peels can those big brained scientist lads just not get their shit together and invent a massive machine that turns cold wind into warm zephyrs and sideways icy rain into warm droplets of red wine.

Open ControlsHaha, I wish! Those days are few and far between since I became a dad of 3. I do have a few vino's on board and seriously considering pulling my first sickie in a long time tomorrow.

It would be easier to jsut build a really big building with perfectly controlled air conditioning and fake painted sky and we could all hang out in there nice and warm

This is my draft league squad of 16...
Boruc/Mannone
Baines/Azpilicueta/Shaw/Reid/Evans
Ozil/Mirallas/Eriksen/Puncheon/Lennon
Suarez/Bony/Agbonlahor/Jovetic
Thinking of getting rid of Lennon -> Noone and Agbonlahor -> Crouch as these players are available. Decent changes or stick with what I have?
ThanksOpen ControlsThat's a really bad idea. Punt on players, not captain.
Open Controls
I'd like to think of it as a semi punt. I'd normally agree with you, but I have to start taking some sort of risks.
Open ControlsAJohnson is another captain option for you, after looking at your team.
Swansea in disarray after manager leaving may leave Bony a punt too far.
Good luck anyhow!Open Controls

who is the nailed on Villa defense?
have to assume Bertrand is part of it right?Open Controlsbertrand, vlaar ,clark, baker are 1st choice now. i like luna though he's had injury issues. Lowton has played aswel and may do again with Vlaar being a doubt
Open Controlsis Bertrand worth the 0.5 over Baker? haven't watched Villa much and Bertrand was decent at Chelsea
Open ControlsProbably not as both will get returns through clean sheets and not through attacking abilities
Open Controls
Baker isn't nailed. Vlaar and Clark are. Bertrand probably is too. Baker plays when they go 3 at the back, otherwise he drops out
Open Controlsyes he is, when fit. We play 4 at the back. Baker in 1st after Vlaar and Clark, then Bertrand who pushes Bacuna forward and Ahmadi out.
Open Controls
Ya and Vlaar I believe
Open ControlsLallana, in response to earlier Q. or JRod in Bony out.
Open Controls
Who would u give the armband out of Suarez, Sturrigde, Rooney, Mata, Hazard and Johnson?
