We analyse the numbers from Saturday and Sunday’s matches as Fantasy managers assess their options ahead of the double Gameweek. United’s misfiring Dutchman, Hull’s pair of strikers, a couple of Goodison Belgians, Cardiff’s new Spanish centre-half and Tottenham’s toils up top are all on our radar in the first of this week’s members articles:

      Wow, that's not an easy choice. I would say B, no Suarez is worse than no Hazard, especially for the DGW.

    Start Snodgrass (SUN) OR Livermore (WBA, whu)

    Snodgrass plays in RW & his team is currently in dog fight so expecting few goals against Sunderland. Livermore is far less attacking player compared to Snoddy, plays in CM but has the advantage of DGW.

    Who should I start?

    A word of advice.

    If you're going to take a hit and at the same time you also want to fix the rest of your team with hits, I think this would be the best gameweek to do it. Teams with two games in a week are very likely to prosper. Of course, this will depend on the players you pick and then assess their worth.

      Alternatively, Nolan is a great option too.

    Do you think United will sack Moyes if we lose to Olympiacos & City?

      No, the owners must know what a generally poor and ageing team they have atm and that only SAF and a giant stroke of luck got them the title last year.

        he has spent 70 mill so far. a lot more than rodgers had to play with in his first year at liverpool. and liverpool were far more mediocre to begin with. his tactics are more to blame than the players imo

      I think we'll definitely give him another transfer window, but from then it just depends how bad things get.
