As always, our first members article of the week delves into the data from the previous batch of fixtures. This time around, the displays of Chelsea’s wide men, Liverpool’s lone forward, Southampton’s new playmaker and the Hammers’ attacking improvement all come under analysis.

      Aguero should be fully fit after the international break, same with Dzeko. So it'll be between Dzeko and Jovetic for the second striker spot.

      Most people took the gamble with him knowing Aguero was doubtful for the first few games.

      The brace last night simple locks him in for a start against Stoke. Probably.

      I'll be monitoring the internationals with 2 FTs and looking to shift him on then.

    2FTs...0.0m in the bank.

    Krul - Foster

    Cahill - Chambers - Naylor - van Aanholt - Wisdom

    Fabregas - Ramsey - Mata - Siggy - Marney

    Rooney - Costa - Dzeko

    Thinking Chambers + Dzeko -> Clyne + Jovetic. Thoughts?

    anyone considering wild carding over international break? if so, why? (poor start?)

    There are players I'd like, and some slight tweaks I could make and tinker with but I could probably get by without them and save it for later instead.... it is tempting though!

      Previously the benefit was team value building.

      With the change in formula, I don't see the worth.

      Unless your team is toilet, nothing a couple of hits won't remedy.
