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:

    I got stuck on the bottom of the page; so pardon the repost:

    Which of the following would you play?

    Chester (WBA, whu)
    Terry (ARS)

    I never thought I'd say that... :/

      I went for Chester. Even sold Azpi to afford Silva. But I would probably play a dgweeker instead of a Chelsea def.

        I sold Azpi for Zabaleta

        My team looks like this:

        Mannone (Speroni)
        Zabaleta, Koscielny, Chester/Terry (Parr)
        Hazard, Yaya, Johnson, Ki (Mutch)
        Sturridge, Suarez, Lukaku

        Enough money waiting in the bank for Lukaku -> Aguero

        My only non-DGW player could be Hazard, if I go with Chester. No hits taken.

      Something to consider:

      Terry averages 5.1 points per game. Chester averages 2.4 points per game.

      On average, Terry should still earn more points.

      Granted, they're facing Arsenal; but that threat isn't what it used to be. Especially if Chelsea park the bus.

      AJ had some lovely form a while back and we're hoping he can get it back.. I'm sure he'll be looking to do so.
      Norwich is a nice fixture and Liverpool will attack heavily and probably concede.
      Ox won't do anything vs Chelsea and might do something vs Swansea.
      I'd hate to be stuck with Ox in my team, as I am currently with Januzaj.

        Yeah, i think so too.
        AJ didn't cough up a goal (or many attempts) at home to Palace and Hull, so i don't know that I trust him rest of the season (which is his appeal -- 3 dgw's due, so you're not likely selling if you own him)

        In the end i chickened out and bought Nolan 🙁 2 great home fixtures though, and I'll sell him soon enough. I hate how template my team looks.

          There was a story doing the rounds yesterday about the pilot being anti-government. Basically there is no news, so they have to drum something up to satisfy our demand for nooz.

          If they were taken captive/hostage, why no calls for ransom or demands?

      I haven't read up on it too much.. but is it possible the plane was hijacked and the hostages are being held at huge ransom against the US or others. The people who have hijacked it are asking for either a huge some of money or an unreasonable request and so the US can't release this information as they are trying to wiggle their way around granting this huge request and resolve it peacefully. Releasing this information would cause chaos from the families of those lost.

          I find it baffling that America doesn't have the technology to trace it actually.
          I've always had it in my head that they have enabled heavy surveillance of the entire globe through all manners of technology I won't even pretend to understand. Is it possible that they are able to trace it, but to do so would be to admit to controlling such surveillance devices, thus ''creeping out'' China, Russia and the likes and possibly starting up another Cold War of sorts.
          It would be nice to think it's a conspiracy of sorts; but it may very well be just a crashed plane, in which case it's a horrible disaster.

    If I get a DGW in for Olsson I will have 11 DGW players (or Hazard + 10).

    If it is worth it, who should I get? A West Ham defender? Double up on Everton?

    Just got a chance to watch the weekend's games there and lmao @ Coleman's goal, poor Cardiff can't catch a break. Gutted about that Zabaleta crossbar shot it would've been a peach had it been a centimeter lower.

      Hull match is postponed because Hull is through in the FA Cup, has nothing to do with CL

        oh, thought that would also affect arsenal as well but they have a match in 34 at the mo. Thought it must have been something to do with CL but then I suppose chelski would be affected too. Any chance of the Arsenal v Wham game being off?

          Hull FA Cup game is on the 13th so they can't reasonably play midweek (only 2 days' rest).

          Arsenal's FA Cup game is on the 12th, so technically they can play their PL game as it's 3 days later on the 15th.

          Yup! Personally I wouldn't touch Kolarov with a bargepole and Colo and Vlaar both hoover up bonus, and Vlaar has nice fixtures and double later.

            Dzeko though... would hate to see him benched for my DGW, then after that when he becomes a thorn in side for the run in....

              Same for Kolarov and Dummet imo, it's a tough one but I reckon you can afford to spend transfers on attack more than defence. As long as Aguero is out Dzeko is a good option.
