We delve into the data from the Gameweek gone by to analyse the most impressive performers in the ten fixtures played out. Tottenham and City’s attacks are brought under the microscope, whilst we also take time to assess Palace’s in-form wide man, United’s record signing and Daniel Sturridge’s drop in form:

      Great question. I'm going to aim to have both, getting Erik before Rambo mind.

      If i had to pick one...eesh...maybe Rambo for those fixtures. You're gambling on form though.

    Mandzukic looks like he'll most likely be starting for those wanting to punt on UCL.

    “We’ve got tall strikers and small strikers. Thomas Mueller is not that small, maybe Mario Goetze is. Mario Mandzukic is our most dangerous attacker. In Bundesliga his goals helped us through difficult games. Without him we would not have been that successful. Mario will help us, if it’s from the start or from the bench. But the tendency leans towards starting him.”

    Ironically, Dzeko's cheap price is putting people off imo. If he was around 9, he would be more nailed on in everyone's mind.

    Guaranteed to play at least 120 mins + allows you to have an additional premium mid.

        I think the one problem with Dzeko for me is that he may well be nailed for livSUN, but it's the fixtures after that that'd i'd worry about. With another DGW in 37, i've got enough surgery to do to my team, so i don't want to have to use another tranny if he starts getting benched.

      I'd say he will play 120 mins this GW but after that it's anyone's guess. Would rather get Aguero and be done with it for the rest of the season assuming he stays fit. Can then focus my transfers on other teams instead of City.

      I always thought Jovetic was bought as a back-up to Kun, as they're similar in playing styles. Just as Dzeko and Negredo for their beasting ability in the box.

      In the brief time Dzeko and Negredo played together, we did notice that City didn't really have the same swag about them.

      Depends how much you bought him for. If you bought him for an odd number (9.1, 9.3 etc) then your selling price will drop when he drops tonight. If you bought him for an even number (9.2, 9.4 etc) then tonight's drop won't affect you.

      Check Transfers > Data View to see your Purchase Price

          No worries. Odd/even is an easy way to see if you'll be affected by a drop.

          If buying price and current price are both odd or both even then you're affected.

      I think we should collectively agree not to sell before Friday...

      I bought at 9.5, so my sell price will go to 10.0 from 10.1 if he drops tonight

      If Roberto Martinez wasn't doing his best Ranieri impression, I'd have been all over Mirallas.

      As it happens though, I went Baines for security and i'll ship Coleman/Lukaku in the next two weeks.

    Mannone
    Chester, Chambers, Zab, Coleman, dann
    Silva, Haz, AJ, Eriksen, Sterling
    Suarez, Sterling, Lukaku

    0.5 in the bank and 2FTS

    How about

    Sturridge > Aguero
    Sterling > Puncheon
    Dann > Mariappa (0.1m out if i don't make this change)

    Means i'll take -4. Silly or not?

          I don't rate punch tbh. Seems a decent choice this week but benching problems will emerge. downgrade sterling to a lower priced mid if you are set on getting Kun
