We delve into the data once again this evening and assess some of the standout statistics over the weekend gone by. Arsenal’s fit-again midfielder, Chelsea’s Brazilian schemer, Sunderland, Swansea and West Ham’s frontmen, Palace’s defence and Everton’s raiding right-back are amongst our main topics this time around:
Guess I will be selling Azpi before Baines/Coleman.
Open ControlsGonna do Rooney for Lukaku tonight. However, is there still a doubt over Aguero's fitness?
May be better holding off if so??Open ControlsPelli said Aguero was fine and that he had planned to only give him 60 minutes
Open Controls
If one, which - Smalling pr JEvans ?
Open Controls*or
Open ControlsToo risky, I want a Utd def too but there is literally no way of knowing which Giggs will play this weekend.
Open ControlsI am going for one anyway. I want Roo and need to do some downgrading. Only other way os Baines to Demichelis, but somehow like Baines vs Soton.
Open ControlsI would go for Smalling then just due to Evans constant dodgy fitness
Open ControlsThanks!
Would you gor for Azpi ➡ Smalling or Baines ➡ Demichelis then ? I have double Che with Azpi and Cahill atmOpen ControlsTricky one, I have both Azpi and Baines too. You might wish you still had Azpi come next week when they face Norwich at home. I'm 50/50 on that one sorry
Open ControlsWhen they face Norwich I will have Cahill, City def and United def to play anyway, so not a big miss I'd say...
Open Controls
Podolski a good Lukaku replacement?
Open ControlsSo what's the good word on Yaya? Has there been any official word on him being back for Palace?
Open ControlsBack in training tomorrow with a chance of playing at the weekend. Personally I think he will play.
Open Controls
Double eve against Southampton this weekend... Urgh
Open ControlsSouthampton are on their holidays, zero goals against Cardiff and Villa is poor form.
Open ControlsThey didn't manage to score vs Cardiff and Villa...
Open Controlsi thought this last gw, it cost me 26 points
Open ControlsCost me 11. Hedged bets.
Open Controls
Football gods definitely smiling on Pool. Once again they will face a big team that is understrength missing key players
Open Controls- Open Controls
Got 1 FT.
Also have Hazard & Silva. Is there a chance Hazard will return soon?
Ramsey best option for this GW(I think)?Open ControlsGet rid of them my SAFC friend. Haz will not be risked IMO.
Nasri and Mata for this and DGWOpen ControlsDefo bringing Ramsey in, might bring Mata in for Haz for a hit, still not sure tho.
Open ControlsCan you go -8 and get all 3 ?
I have gambled for the last 3 weeks and it has seen me rise through the ranks,
It may seem like a big hit, but this week and the DGW will more than compensate.Open Controlsi can yeah, just not sure if Rooney for Lukaku is worth a hit for this weekend.
I am contemplating it though.Open Controls
Evening all,
Lukaku, hazard and Mirallas to Ramsay, Rooney and mata
Yay or nay?Open Controlsyay!

Gabriele Marcotti @Marcotti 8m
Mourinho on Sky Italia: "I told our players not to keep the ball too much, bc Atletico press well."Open ControlsThis my team for the weekend:
Boruc
Ward Coleman bardsley
Nasri eriksen Ramsey puncheon
Suarez aguero lukaku
Speroni yaya vlaar MOlsson
2.6 in the bank
Subs right? Thinking maybe lukaku to borini as a bit of a punt?Open ControlsThe Chelsea match was so bad it could convert you to cricket.
Open ControlsSeriously? Replays of it should of be made available on prescription, would make a good alternative to sleeping pills
Open Controls
48 point gap with ML leader. Hard, but not impossible.
He has,
Hazard, sturridge, Silva, 2 palace def, puncheon, Swansea def, Hull def
And they're all his differentials to my team... (Suarez, aguero, Azipilicueta, Eriksen, Lallana are the same)
I need a different captain to him this weekend, and think Ramsey may do it for me? Thoughts? He looks sheet hot and has potentially the easiest fixture as new are fighting for nothing and are away from home...Open ControlsYou may also get a chance during the dgw, so all is not lost.... 🙂
Open ControlsIndeed.
If I played the right players this week I'd have taken 35 off his lead rather than 12Open Controls
id play safe as i think u will catch him with those respective line ups
Open Controls
Thinking of bringing in Rooney for Lukaka (-4 pts) tonight.
To allow a Snod ➡ Nasri next week.
Is that a bit mental or pull the trigger?
Thanks.Open ControlsI'd go for it.
Baines ➡ Demichelis or Azpi ➡ Smalling / Evans, EVS? What ya thinking?Open ControlsI'm thinking about Gerrard to Nasri (if YaYa's not back) next week as well,
Bought Rooney last night, so hoping it's okOpen ControlsI believe Yaya is back in training and could feature this weekend .
What you think of my hit? Worth it or not?Open ControlsEvs, this should be added to the Scout Tweets:
"Yaya, I think, can be fit for next game," Pellegrini added.

rambo bandwagon. just a single ticket for me but some will have kept their return one no doubt
Open Controlstalking of tickets i hope this tube strike doesn't screw up ramsey/koscielny/mert/ozil this monday
Open Controls
who would you get rid of first, Hazard or Silva?
Open Controlssilva
Open Controlsdo you think Hazard might be back for the weekend?
Open Controlsseems a cert that he'll beat silva back https://twitter.com/StuBrennanMEN/status/458594670625714176
Open Controls
Silva
Open Controls
I bought John Stones really quickly on Sunday night, I got Rooney free because he was still inside Stones pocket.
Open Controlsprice changes mean I have to this tonight so
Coleman and Lukaku to Kos and Rooney (I still have Baines)
yay or nay?Open ControlsDefinitely yes
Open Controlsyes -4
Open ControlsHmmm.
It would be better if you got a dgw defender instead of Kos if you are deadset on selling Coleman.Open ControlsZab looks like a good shout to me
Open Controlsnever Zab and 5.4 max
Open Controls
not so much that I want to, but I have to to fund the Rooney move
I can afford 5.4 at best, not sure on Hull or Villa, no one at City for the price and we don't know who will play for United at this point.Open Controls
I'd go for it but I'd hang back if you can afford the price rise
Open ControlsI can't that's the point
Open Controls
Looks good! Would you consider Mata this week?
Open Controls
All we hear is how boring Jose's football is.
Well don't know about you but i will never get bored watching players with such dedication and a winning mentality, there is nothing more entertaining than that.Open ControlsWho replaces Silva in the starting line-up? Who replaces Mirallas?
Open ControlsI have Silva & Dzeko and 1 FT...
Thinking of doing Silva>Ramsey.
Who to upgrade Dzeko to? (I don't want Lukaku as my rival has him). Am I mad considering Giroud? Possibly Bony? I am 17 pts behind in the league.Open ControlsGet Podolski
Open Controls
The best curry house in Hertfordshire is Aroma in Radlett.
Best I have ever tasted and I am a connoisseur_fantastic.Open ControlsCech out for the season with a dislocated shoulder...
Open Controlssomeone smiled on me when i played cech and he got autosubbed with mannone. now it looks like my mate vito has the gloves to the end.

Question - Are people still playing to finish as high as possible or to win their mini leagues ?
I ask this as am in a bit of a quandary and unsure what to do.
You see I am ranked only about 50k but winning my (no cash just bragging rights) works mini league by about 30 points (we are not particularly good)
So the closest person to me has the same front 3 anyway (Kun, Lukaku and Suarez) but I had an awful week so am thinking about using some of points lead just taking hits to copy his midfield (Sterling, Ramsey & Erikksen differentials) rather than doing the more obvious and exciting moves of say doing Lukaku to Rooney and so creating a differential front 3 which I don't really need.
Just wondered what other people are doing ? Defending their position or going all out to finish as high as possible ?Open ControlsWell, the season has gradually gotten better for me, in the top 7,000 but this week has hit me hard with injuries. Any advise welcome!
Marshall
Fonte, Terry, Baines, Chester
Mutch, Erikson, Silva
Suarez, Dzeko, Bony
Manonne, Ward, Mirallas, Ki
1 FT with 7.4 in the bank. Think i will need at least 1 4 point hit with Silva out and Terry also likely to be out with Dzeko not guaranteed a start.
Was thinking of bringing in Mata and Ramsey? Johnson and Nasri deserve mentions too.Open Controlshmm ramsey is on for his 0.3 rise a bit early....... lots of watsed transfers by the end of this week
