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:

    Just something to share on GW29 blanks.

    There is a possibility that SOME of the fixtures can be rescheduled to 11th/12th March. The fixtures that can be rescheduled are

    Cardiff City Vs Fulham

    Crystal Palace Vs Southampton

    West Ham Vs Hull

    Newcastle Vs Everton

    Liverpool Vs Sunderland

    These fixtures, regardless of the results of the FA Cup games, can be moved to 11th/12th of March, although, TV Rights might influence the decision.

    The following fixtures are the most under threat of being postponed to a later date though.

    Arsenal vs Swansea
    Chelsea vs Tottenham
    Manchester City vs Aston Villa

    If Chelsea beat City in the FA Cup, then the Chelsea vs Tottenham fixtures can not be rescheduled in the same week, due to Tottenham's Europa League commitments. If City beat Chelsea though, then this fixtures will go ahead, and the Manchester City vs Aston Villa game will be postponed.

    As for Arsenal vs Swansea, this fixture looks to be the most under threat, with both teams in European competitions and both teams very much alive in the FA Cup.

        I think he's aiming for Suarez, but Suarez is inside the area when the corner is taken stepping forward, and when he receives the ball he's behind the D. That's a good 10 yards behind him. It makes what Suarez did with it even more incredible.

    This whole Fulham fiasco reminds of when I was in 5th grade and an older kid wanted to kick my ass, so I pretended to be sick to get out of going to school the next day. Fulham, I hate to tell you this but just like that older kid, Liverpool will still be there wanting to kick your ass when you go back the next day.

        Wasn't so bad, actually. He was more bark than bite. But we know that's not the case with Suarez.

      It's all about timing. Like when Chelsea didn't want to play us because they had injuries, so had the game cancelled. They beat us when it was eventually played

    Want to sell AJ before the net deadline, but for who? I've got Hazard, Yaya, Sterling, Barkley. Can't have Lallana as I have Boruc, Shaw + Rodriguez...

    I can afford any other MF (10.4 to spend), but no one jumps out as guaranteed points for this GW..

    With Terry out my current defense is mertesacker, shaw, bruce and Gabbidon. As bruce and gabbidon are unlikely to place should I take -4 hit to replace Bruce with Somebody else. And if so who. Can go up to 6.1? Possible options:
    A. Bruce > McShane
    B. Bruce > Cahill/Ivanovic
