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:

    Marshall
    Clyne Azpili Kosc Ward
    Puncheon Silva Haz Mata
    JRod

    Subs: Mannone , Chambers , Sterling , Sturridge , Suarez

    No FT and 0.4 in bank . Should I take a hit?

      Ah shucks. That's the danger of tripling up aye. Given that the 3 missing out are attackers where most points are, I reckon a hit or two might be worth it.

      Sterling > Adams at that price range would be best move I think. Osman possible?

        How would I know that there would be a tube strike? Bad luck, I suppose

          There was a post last week about the tube strike and it affecting the arsenal united match potentially. And someone mentioned to keep an eye on Fulham Liverpool as well.

          Didn't think much of it when I replied your RMTs. Oops! I think it might still go on...but better prepare.

          If Adam is only one, then go for it. Don't expect much though!

          If you don't lose too much on sturridge (0.2 max loss), would get Dzeko in still. negredo has not been impressive. Ade is an option but wow are Tottenham horrible. Watched the game against Everton. Everton should have won it comfortably. But didn't take their chances.

            Thanks for the help mate, I saw that game too and were horrible. Got away with it!
            I bought him in at 9.7, he is 9.9 now
            Are you sure though that Dzeko will start? That again is an issue
            The Adam move sounds safe, he also has a guaranteed fixture in gw29

            My only concern is whether Adam will make up for the hit I'll take though.If not, then I think I should leave my team as it is and go in with 10!

    Main Points:
    -"And Michu has been back, is back to fitness but there is a soreness so we will see on Friday if that soreness is too much or not. You have to give it 24 hours to settle down or if it stays or not.

    http://news.rotowire.com/Miguel-Cuesta-googid21729-spsoccer.htm ---- 12 Hours Ago
    Main Points:
    -Michu (ankle) wasn't able to train Monday and is doubtful for Swansea's midweek fixture at Stoke City
    -Michu was hoping to return last weekend for the South Wales Derby and now looks doubtful for Wednesday's clash with Stoke City. If the Spaniard can't make it back for Wednesday, his next Premier League opportunity will be February 23 when The Swans travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool.

    -"I've had good chats with Michu and whatever his decisions are in terms of training, we'll build it around him," Monk added.

    http://www.football.co.uk/swansea_city/monk_not_phased_by_speculation_rss4604828.shtml ---- 5 Hours Ago
    Main Points:
    -Michu has an outside chance of making his first appearance since mid-December after recovering from ankle surgery.
    -"Michu has been training, but has had a couple of days off as his ankle has swollen up a bit," said Monk.
    -"He did not train today, but he could be fit enough to play some part tomorrow so we have to wait and see.

    *All quotes are by Gary Monk

    - With his return imminent (even if it isnt this week) Michu provides a very exciting prospect and differential with a price tag of just 8.4. We all know what happened with Theo Walcott after he returned from injury and a slow start to the season. Michu showed us last year that he is capable of great explosive things, perhaps he will remind us sooner rather than later.

    Advise for my draft team here...

    A) Play 4-3-3 with Shaw (I have Boruc) or play 3-4-3 with Noone?
    B) Captain Baines or Mirallas. I don't want to go with Suarez just in case.

    I had know i idea that there was a planned strike in London. I have 3 Liverpool players and only 2 worth subs in Sagna and Adam Johnson. Do I take a hit? Is this thing that serious? I live in NYC a place times bigger than London and a metro strike seems impossible to me.

    Do the bookies have odds of Liverpool vs. Fulham being cancelled or would that be insensitive?
