After kicking off our series of Big Numbers articles with a look at the best performing Defenders over the first three Gameweeks, we now move further up the pitch. This time round we focus on midfielders, with a trio of summer signings all showing plenty of promise in their new surroundings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          Couldn't stand him before, during, and after his brief stint with us!

    What you think of my WC team?

    Begovic
    Jones // Moreno // Ivanovic
    Ramsey // Fabergas // Siggy // Sterling
    Costa // Naismith // Aguero

    Bench: lowest price in all positions

    Pending Jones's injury, I may bring in Shawcross.

      Delicious

      • 17 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Pretty good all round team, if you could squeeze Lamela in then it would be perfect

      1. Mr Wizard
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers guys. Lamela is a good shout! I'll keep him in mind.

    3. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I think you will find yourself in the same boat as most of the Bojan owners (myself included) - your team structure is not flexible enough for when you have to replace Naismith. It will require some major surgery, multiple transfers, player downgrades, etc. He just won't be a week-in-week out player in a 3-4-3.

      1. Mr Wizard
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers pepin.

        I would probably keep Naismith until I build up 2 free transfers and then downgrade jones to facilitate Naismith to welbeck.

        Or I might swap bego for krul and swap jones to Shawcross which would save me 0.5 to add to the 1.0 I would save from downgrading Shawcross and out that towards Naismith to welbeck...confusing

      I have the exact same but Naylor over one of your 4.0 defenders, good work

      I'm getting the same vibe from this e-mail as I do when I ask a girl if she wants to catch up with me later in the week

    Any objection if I double this up here? With an acknowledgment of Just A Hat's sage advice obviously ringing in my ears.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    How do we like these WC apples?

    Krul / Mannone
    Rafael / Moreno / Clyne / Naylor / Duff
    Sterling / Rambo / Cesc / Siggy / Boyd
    Aguero / Balotelli / Welbeck

    A) Looks good
    B) Cesc -> Tadic, Rafael -> Ivanovic
    C) Cesc -> 7m mid, Rafeal -> Ivanovic, Balotelli -> Costa

    Hmmmmm?

    1. Sparrer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      You need more Lamela

      1. Sparrer
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Stay out of this, you

    2. PAIRIDAEZAN

      Looks great. Keep Fabregas.

    Do we think Clyne will rise tonight then? 🙂

    1. Sparrer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Surely someone has to rise some time... right?

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Insert shit wag joke here .......

  9. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    If both Costa & Jovetic are out, I may WC. At least I won't feel that bad seeing that not much has changed in terms of prices.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I reckon Costa will play but not Jovetic

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I can live with that! Problem with Costa is that he was excellent captain material, hope we get a definitive 'he's fit' news.

    2. Just A Hat
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If you haven't got Lamela in yet then he is a MUST for your WC team

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Chadli!

      2. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Chadli's stats look good, too

        1. Just A Hat
          • 17 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Lamelas stats and physical appearance both look good...I think it's worth paying the extra 2 million for that!

          1. mod33
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Their are better options than lamela inconsistent for me he ran riot against a poor QPR side and did nothing against Liverpool

            1. Just A Hat
              • 17 Years
              11 years, 10 months ago

              but then he put an awesome display in against Germany

              1. mod33
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 10 months ago

                Exactly inconsistent also Germany were poor against Scotland and Naismith looked dangerous. Playing liverpool a high tempo match in the Prem is different to a international friendly. Not doubting his ability just better options at the moment. Might put him in a few gws see how he goes

    3. Pinatta
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If they are both out mate.. you might miss 20 points. 30 maybe, is that already enough to WC?

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        The rest of my team is solid, so you are right, I may just take a hit to fix the strikeforce.

  10. Sparrer
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Do we think Lamela will rise tonight then? 🙂

  11. CCaddy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Jones ---> Bertrand for a 4 point hit?

    *if he is injured.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not if you have three fit and nailed on defs

      1. CCaddy
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I have terry dummett Naylor chambers and jones. So I think im gonna have to make a transfer

  12. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    So which one do I bench this week?
    A) McGeady
    B) sigurdson
    C) Naismith.

    1. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

    2. thetinkerman
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Siggy I think

    3. Mr Wizard
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      McGeady

      1. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I would have said McGeady but he scored twice for NI yesterday.

        1. Munchen KFC
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          McGeady playing for the North now?

  13. Podge
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Did something happen with Lamela ?

    1. Just A Hat
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He is just playing fantastic, will only improve in the next few weeks and looks set to rack up the points

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        They will against the bad teams but will be pissed on by all the decent ones, flat track bullies I fear.

      2. PAIRIDAEZAN
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        You're really beating him up hey.

  14. Mr Wizard
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Has anyone actually thought about mailing BFPL and asking then about their new price fluctuation structure?

    It beginning the frustrate me.

    1. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. The Bandit

      Looked like a hammy but they subbed Wilshere off first. Yes, he really was that bad 🙂

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        My Blackett, Mata, Rooney trio look good.

        Loads of crazy people selling United assets. It's the easiest fixture in the whole season.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          aye...

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        7 points last week. Could easily replicate it. Scoff all you want. You've probably sold Mata too.

        1. LOCO ABREU
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          ?no,i have Austin,Mata and Jones btw

          1. RoysCallerAnne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Ok, apologies.

            What's Austin got to do with anything btw? lol

            1. RoysCallerAnne
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 10 months ago

              oh right, he may nick a goal at Old Trafford.

              Naaah 😉

            2. LOCO ABREU
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 10 months ago

              i think he will score 🙂

  18. Pinatta
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I think it's a little 'unfair' to all those WC-ers that the moneygame is so Fukced up this year.. I'm not a WC-er now, but a lot of us i guess are trying to catch some TV now and don;t get it.

  19. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Really like the look of this

    Krul (Elliot)
    Moreno | Azpi | Coleman (PVA)(Hutton)
    Siggy | Rambo | Fab | Sterling (Boyd)
    Balotelli | Welbeck | Costa

    How is that defence, how can I improve it?

    1. Pinatta
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not, keep it.

    2. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      That is almost my team... almost 🙂

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Looks very long term this team tbh. Only Balotelli might be an issue.

        1. 4vets
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I think not. He's a punt, but an enjoyable one 🙂

          1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Hoping so! Are you going to do Rambo > Walcott when he's back? That's what I'm thinking.

            1. 4vets
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 10 months ago

              Yup, that's the only reason Rambo is in my team.

              1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

                Might go Tadic and keep cash itb.

                  That's quite a bit of a downgrade though, IMO I would only drop Rambo for a similar consistent player.

                      Ah ok, fair point. I normally rely on consistent form rather than fixtures.

      With Ivanovic instead of Coleman.

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Lose Azpi

        1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Get Azpi out instead of doing Coleman > Ivan?

          1. Mílanista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            No, get Azpi out to allow Coleman>Ivan since you already have triple Chelsea.

              • 11 Years

              Oh yeah, who's the best defender 6m under in your opinion?

                • 15 Years
                11 years, 10 months ago

                I'd say Moreno who you have or Clyne

                1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
                  • 11 Years
                  11 years, 10 months ago

                  No Debuchy then?

      2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

        Good shout fella, just realised I have 0.2 ITB!

          Then that's just about my team 🙂

    I've had a few pops at Wilshere tonight but in fairness, he is best in an attacking short passing fast moving role. When did anyone ever see anything to suggest he would be a good CDM? 😕

    1. Puncheon Debuchery
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I think that's his big problem at the moment, defining a role for himself.
      What sort of midfielder is he going to be?
      He's at a bit of a crossroads already in his career, and he's only 22.

      Awful bang of Joe Cole off him actually, to be honest. I just can't see him kicking on.

      I think, tonight, he died, a little. I agree, it is tragic.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years

      But he never seems to quite fit whatever he does..He's always going to be a nearly man..

        I am afraid you're right. A case of no footballing personality.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          He's an odd one for sure..

    If Jovetic is out this week, which would you rather:

    A.) Get Aguero - both main rivals already do, I was going to wait two weeks.

    B.) Go for Welbeck as a differential before they get him.

    1. Captain Peacock
