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:

      I'm going Sturridge, but influenced somewhat with my rivals captaining Suarez no doubt. It's a half risk, seeing as Suarez has a good chance in the goal involvement of Sturridge and vice versa. Will leave the armband on Hazard again otherwise.

      Slightly playing agent provacteur (anyone want half price discount on that stuff?....). As a Saints fan, my hope is it means Davies swap with Wanyama (Davies always puts in the effort). I dunno, just suggests some knocks and bruises and possibilty of rotation even for the only secure mid-table side.

      Sterling? Yes it's a bit of a knee-jerk, but Pool's fixtures aint bad at all.

      I wouldn't double on Southampton.

        Could be Sterling... I only have Suarez from Liverpool, but that issue about LIV X FUL game concerns me a lot... If Suarez can play, that sub would be on his place.

        J.Rod to Lambert? I think Dzeko is gonna get more minutes this GW.

      Depends what you're expecting outta a 5th mid. Charlie Adam at 5.8m looks a good bet with they're being no disruptions to Stoke's schedule as a result of their cup exit and of their opponents.

        Granny's transfer next week is Adam as he doesn't have fixture issues.

    Major problem on my hands. With Terry out injured I only will have two defenders playing (I have bruce and gabbidon, but both unlikely to play. Should I take the 0, or take a -4 point hit and replace Bruce? And if so, with whom? I was thinking:
    A. Bruce > McShane
    B. Bruce > Cahill/Ivanovic
    C. Bruce > West ham defender (likely Collins).
    Any suggestions appreciated

      When do you have to decide? I you can wait until line-ups are out then see if Torres starts first. If not, go Deleufou. Both are doubts though I would say.

    I'm as clueless as the rest to see if Reid will start tonight. I think he probably will for those gambling on him. With respect to Norwich, I can't think of another game that he could so easily be placed back in.

        I'd say high. I'd be amazed if we got another clean sheet but Norwich are pretty toothless. We're as a good a bet as any.

        I agree, very good, Norwich are not scoring away from home, or much at all recently. After that draw against city the onus will certainly be to build from a solid foundation.

        You'd think! He is our best defender after all and vice captain. I'd be more surprised if he wasn't starting.
