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:

    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...

      It's anti-football. The format suits Mourinho's negative stylezzz.

    I 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.

    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 ?

    Well, 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.
