The Big Numbers – Gameweek 25

We delve into the data once again ahead of tomorrow’s fast-approaching Gameweek 26 deadline. Hull’s new Croatian frontman and Palace’s debutant are amongst the assessed, whilst we also examine City’s recent goal drought, Tottenham’s Togolese talisman and a couple of in-form wide men who racked up the weekend returns:

Thoughts on improving this team, please?

Mannone Adrian
JT Koscielny Kolarov Ward Vlaar
Hazard Mata Mirallas Eriksen
Suarez Studge Bony

2 FTs, 2.7 itb.

A. Bony & Kolarov -> Negredo & Azpi
B. Bony & Kolarov -> Lambo/Ade & Ivan
C. Bony Kolarov & Noone -> Lambo Ivan & Adam
D. Vlaar & Noone -> Azpi & Adam (serious benching headache)
E. Anything else.

Seriously i'm spoiled for choice.

    Vlaar is a decent cover in GW28 (NOR), IF he is fit.
    
    Adam is decent pick for Noone, but i'd get some serious benching issues unless i downgrade Eriksen later on. Thanks for the thoughts man.

  Disappointingly i think this is because Fulham is a massive ball ache to get to....

  Not sure why people can't use Putney station though.

Hmmm...

a) Bruce -> McCartney (bench Studge, Suarez, Flanagan). Therefore relying on Vlaar + Noone to play.

b) Studge -> Negredo (bench Suarez, Flanagan and Vlaar)

AJ > Mirallas done. Team for this GW is:

Marshall
Coleman Ivanovic Koscielny
Hazard Yaya Mata Mirallas
Suarez Sturridge Bony

Mannone Noone Ward Bruce

Bony is next on my list, felt like AJ was a more urgent problem. Going to captain Suarez, with Hazard as a back up in case the Liverpool game will be postponed. Good to go?

Morning all..

Anything worth a hit here? 4.6m in the bank.

Sz
Cahill - Coleman - Kolarov
Mata - Hazard (vc) - Lallana - Eriksen
Suarez (C) - Studge - JRod

Davis - Ward - Poz - Chester

a) Poz > Nolan.....would start Nolan ahead of JRod. If the Liverpool game is cancelled i'll have a very decent midfield.
b) Eriksen > Yaya
c) Other

cheers..
