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:

      Olsson is only really a good option when playing at home. 7 of Norwich's 10 clean sheets have come at home, and looking more recently it's 4 of the last 5.

          Doesn't it help to know that if Norwich score then most likely Snod will be involved and that Norwich players and manager are constantly reminded of their last 4 games hence they will try their best to get as many points on the board before that. Plus there isn't really any other alternative other than Adam

    Morning fellas, Aside from the recent United talk I've found this site to have good unbiased discussions on footy in general. Most of the time people are fair with their comments (probably because on here your FPL team matters more than your real team) and there is a decent level of conversations. I just wanted to ask if anyone knows of any other site where stuff like news/recent events are discussed in a similar manner. I don't mean sites where people just leave comments but one like this where threads are started and people can reply to one another. I've had a look around on Google but can't find owt. Any ideas?

With FFS its geared towards fantasy football, it has an agenda, a point. I'm not sure general team news will be enough of an agenda to gather a community together in a similar fashion to FFS.

    Morning all,

    2 freebies 0.1m in the bank and a WC in the top pocket.

    What to do here?

    Szczesny
    Terry, Demel, B Davies
    Hazard, Mirallas, Lallana, Puncheon
    Suarez, Sturridge, Benteke

    Davis, Whittaker, Silva, Kolarov

    I think there are 2 obvious routes to take bearing in mind the GW29 blanks, the GW31 doubles and the further future doubles - question is, which is best?

    Route A - WC for the GW31 doubles

    GW28: Kolarov & Silva -> Ivanovic & Snoddy
    GW29: Benteke & Mirallas -> i) Mata & Lambert or ii) Noone & RVP (4 points)
    GW30: WC

    -> gives 8 for GW29 for a 4 pointer and 10-11 DGWers for GW31

    Route B - Save the WC for the later doubles

    GW28: Whittaker -> Chester
    GW29: Benteke -> Lambert
    GW30: Szczesny -> Mannone/Adrian
    GW31: Lallana, Mirallas & Lambert -> Nolan, Sterling & Aguero (4 points)

    -> gives 5 for GW28, 10 DGWers for GW31 and saves the WC

      I think it depends on your situation. I think it's best to prioritise the DGW. See how much it costs you (FTs and -4s) to get what you want for that, then see what it costs to get there you if you get more GW29 players in. See if the difference is worth it.

      For example, I'm trying to decide if I want Silva for the DGW(s). If I do then it doesn't make sense to me to spend 2 transfers getting him out and then back in again, just to have a shoddy* replacement for 2 weeks. If, as I'm leaning now, I decide that he's actually not worth owning - DGWs or not - then I might as well get someone who will play the next two games.

      Aguero probably will be but seriously, it's daft to seek a differential to the most in-form striker in the league. Everything points to falling further behind. Drop Ade instead (awful, awful fixtures ahead and not even a DGW) and find your differentials elsewhere where they have more chance of succeeding.

          Well, obviously not yet (that's why I said "will be"). The only striker possibly worth buying right now is, as you say, Lambchop but you wouldn't want him long term so you have to ask if it's worth 2 FTs to get him for two weeks before swapping horses.

          I don't see anyone worth a short term punt.

      Hmm. Something is definitely amiss. I must say, I was very surprised at how low the qualification score was, but with a few people coming out of the woodwork who thought they'd registered and qualified this would in some way explain that. It'd be good to get some clarification but I'd rather not be in it than put the whole competition in jeopardy - It really is too late to do anything about it now.

        Good shouts all of these.

        I think we'd all agree that if the question was restricted to best and worst Expensive Spanish Strikers then Negredo and Soldado would come out on top.

        fernandinho is a great shout.
        Compared to Barry and Garcia he makes a massive difference.

          Did Soldado cost more than Fellani? It could be argued that Spuds are doing a bit better than Man U so possibly Fellani has been the bigger failure although he has been injured tbf.

      Best: Negredo

      Yeah recent form not setting the world alight but big scoring in a new league and still on for a domestic treble.

      Worst: Soldado

      Unlike Lamela he has played. And played like absolute shit.

        I haven't seen much of Fellaini, but watched the game against Palace, where he looked good. I have no idea what's happening there, but he has to get more time to prove his worth, yes.

          In that case B sounds a better plan, the main idea is to have the free transfers ready for 31.
          If you can go one week with -4 its better to plan ahead as many people will be taking hits next week and in 31.

          Ohh you mean after the Deadline passes? I already count that as prior to 30.

          But yeah, if you do it after the 29 deadline then I don't see that as a big difference.
          Maybe better if some of the DGW's have good matches in 30.

    Would getting in Sturridge now be a bad idea? Or is it better to get him directly prior to GW 31?

    Currently considering Mignolet -> Ruddy to complete my GW 29 team and then one more transfer, which I am debating aimed at GW 31. The idea is to do no transfers GW 29, which can be helpful from many aspects.
