Due to domestic cup duties over the next two weekends, just 10 of the Premier League’s 20 teams have a fixture in both Gameweek 28 and 29. With City and Sunderland out of league action until mid-March, owners of Yaya Toure, David Silva and Adam Johnson are pondering their midfield options and mulling over some short-term transfers in order to plug the gaps.

In our second members article of the week, we dig deep into the data of those 10 teams and analyse the midfielders who have offered the greatest goal threat over the last six Gameweeks.

Looking at options who have registered eight or more efforts on goal over the featured period, Chelsea supply us with five players, Norwich chip in with four, whilst Southampton and Palace both have a couple of midfielders in the assessment:

                  I got him just now for Brady, had to get rid. Fulham can score and they're home and need goals now plus I expect an uptick, as they say, in their performance under Magath. Chelsea defence is strong I know but after their exertions last night and flight home have basically a 2 day turnaround.

      I suspect that they are waiting till after the FA Cup matches in GW29, in case they require replays. If they don't then I expect them to move both Arsenal v Swansea and Newcastle v Everton (or possibly Everton v Palace) to DGW31.

      It's been simultaneously announced that Vermaelen won't be in the Belgian squad to face Ivory Coast because he's injured. Make your mind up, Belgium & Arsenal...

    I appreciate things NEVER go to plan, but am I heading the right direction with this?

    GW28 = Giroud + Kolarov --> Adebayor + Azpil (2FT)
    GW29 = Sagna + Pozuelo --> Ollson + Puncheon (-4 with 9 players)
    GW30 = Save FT
    GW31 = Lallana + Adebayor --> Mata + Jelavic (FT)

    The only City cover for the DGW will be Silva; Any feedback would be great, thanks

      Sell Lallana is a no no and jelavic is a good punt which I might do.

    OK ive nicked one Doosras tables, sort by Chances created and hes third on list. Without giving too much away think of his remaining fixtures and then compare with Baines over 4 GWs.

    He'll for sure be in my team, cracking differential imo.

      Have no.2 and am happy. But good luck, as a differential he could explode at some point.

        Agreed but ill be downgrading some defenders to fit in the likes of Aguero and he ticks the boxes

      Good shout mate, but I don't fancy doubling up with their keeper. He certainly has assist potential and should nab you one or two.

        I dont mind the double up because of the fixtures. Now is the time to take risks imo
