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.
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?You need more Lamela
Stay out of this, you
Looks great. Keep Fabregas.
I've met some shit liars in my time but Oscar is right up there 🙄
My favourite muppet
?
Pistorias
*ius
i see
Do we think Clyne will rise tonight then? 🙂
Surely someone has to rise some time... right?
Insert shit wag joke here .......
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.
I reckon Costa will play but not Jovetic
I can live with that! Problem with Costa is that he was excellent captain material, hope we get a definitive 'he's fit' news.
If you haven't got Lamela in yet then he is a MUST for your WC team
Chadli!
Chadli's stats look good, too
Lamelas stats and physical appearance both look good...I think it's worth paying the extra 2 million for that!
Their are better options than lamela inconsistent for me he ran riot against a poor QPR side and did nothing against Liverpool
but then he put an awesome display in against Germany
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
If they are both out mate.. you might miss 20 points. 30 maybe, is that already enough to WC?
The rest of my team is solid, so you are right, I may just take a hit to fix the strikeforce.
Do we think Lamela will rise tonight then? 🙂
Jones ---> Bertrand for a 4 point hit?
*if he is injured.Not if you have three fit and nailed on defs
I have terry dummett Naylor chambers and jones. So I think im gonna have to make a transfer
So which one do I bench this week?
A) McGeady
B) sigurdson
C) Naismith.My others are costa falcao sterling Fabragas ADM!
Siggy I think
McGeady
I would have said McGeady but he scored twice for NI yesterday.
McGeady playing for the North now?
With your username I thought you were Irish and I was horrified. Your English so that mistake is slightly less horrific! 😯
Did something happen with Lamela ?
He is just playing fantastic, will only improve in the next few weeks and looks set to rack up the points
They will against the bad teams but will be pissed on by all the decent ones, flat track bullies I fear.
You're really beating him up hey.
Been out all night just got in Jones injury serious?
I hope not.
Me too got Jones and Dummett. Means having to play both Caulker and Naylor this weekend
Looked like a hammy but they subbed Wilshere off first. Yes, he really was that bad 🙂
Any news on Jovetic and Jones injury? Couldn't find answer on last 2 pages
No, wait pressconference
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.
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?Not, keep it.
That is almost my team... almost 🙂
Looks very long term this team tbh. Only Balotelli might be an issue.
I think not. He's a punt, but an enjoyable one 🙂
Hoping so! Are you going to do Rambo > Walcott when he's back? That's what I'm thinking.
Yup, that's the only reason Rambo is in my team.
I like your thinking 🙂
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.
Fixtures.
FORM!
+1 😉
*+1 😉
Ah ok, fair point. I normally rely on consistent form rather than fixtures.
With Ivanovic instead of Coleman.
Lose Azpi
Get Azpi out instead of doing Coleman > Ivan?
No, get Azpi out to allow Coleman>Ivan since you already have triple Chelsea.
Oh yeah, who's the best defender 6m under in your opinion?
I'd say Moreno who you have or Clyne
No Debuchy then?
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? 😕
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.
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.
He's an odd one for sure..
A or B gents
A) Welbeck; Lamela; Wilson (to rotate with Taylor)
B) Naismith; Ramsey; Clyne
Thanks!
Wellbeck, tadic, clyne
this works well
Like it!
Di Canio reminds me of Balotelli 😆

That West Ham game against Bradford was ridiculous.
Bertrand or clyne?
Clyne
Clyne
+1
Bertrand, better underlying stats.
Should I wildcard?
Jones i
Hazard i
Jovetic i
Mata
BojanYou can get out if thAt with a point hit
Best defender for 4.6 or below (already Naylor owner)
Schlupp
Wilson
Sturridge to Balo?
or someone else. I have costa up top too right nowKun
Mata likely to drop in price today?
Doubt it.
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.B
Likely risers an fallers tonight lads?
Faller: Dzeko
Risers: Moreno, ClyneTa mate
Is Davis Forde n1 for Ireland now?
Any chance we could see Costa on the bench vs Swansea with a CL clash to follow next week?
Possible..What would you do in Mourinho's shoes ?
Well he now has Remy. I can see that happening at stages this year where he starts Costa on the bench.
I'm sure he wouldn't want to play Remy straight away but on the other hand you can be certain he won't want Costa as a long term injury...
It's only Schalke.
No.My.
tadic, lamela or chadli as
That order
Evening chums. How goes it?
Goes well. And you?
Pleased with the England result. That is the first big step towards qualification.
Aye. Should be a breeze from here.
repost
Is Davis Forde n1 for Ireland now?Not sure Loco but most people on here won't care as it's not ffl related
usually a few irish around here
Maybe repost it as a question. With words.
number one goal keeper
He has been since Given retired. Given back but Forde still No 1
cheers!
Ah. It won't surprise you to hear that I don't know.
Forde is STILL number one. Given is cover.
thanks
As Cheeseoid says "Evening", I say good night. Sleep well!
Goodnight
If Jones is out, who to get for 4.7m:
A) PVA
B) Wilson (have Bego as well)
Would especially need them for GWs 4 and 6.Naylor, PvA or Schlupp.
I need them for GWs 4 and 6. Naylor plays Chelsea and Sunderland away then...
Why have you only 4.7m?
Because I'm downgrading Jones to upgrade Eriksen to Sterling with my 2 FTs.
a
PvA is the obvious pick imo, I'm not convinced Wilson will hold that spot, tempting that he is.
Better keep Lovren. I feel.
CB is less rotated and has more chance to score and get baps.
