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.
Dear All,

Beg (Krul)
Moreno, Clyne, Ivanovic (Moore, Naylor)
Sterling (C), Fab, ADM, Tadic (Siggy)
Costa, Welbeck, [Eto'o or Naismith]
i like it, although you may miss one of rooney/kun/falcao/sturridge if they start firing
Maybe
Naylor > Dummett
Fab, Sterling, McGeady, Tadic (Siggy)
Rooney, Costa, WelbeckKeep tinkering
Original post
ADM > Ramsey 0.4 ITB
Rate My WC Team
McGregor
Dier, Monero, Shawcross, Clyne
Sterling, Di Maria, Ramsey
Naismith, Falcao, Costa
Subs: Myhill, Siggy, Ramerez, Wisdom
I am undecided over formation so the 4-3-3 is not concrete. Opinions anybody?
Play Siggy.
This week I wouldn't with that defence. The 2-3 weeks after that he should be first on the team sheet though.
WC team.
Krul/Guzan
Moreno/ShawX/Clyne/PVA/Duff
Sterling/Hazard/siggy/Zaha/ADM
Falcao/Costa/naismith
Would love some insight and suggestions here 🙂 🙂Could do Haz/ADM/Falcao -> Rambo/Fab/Aguero. my head is about to explode 🙁
I would have Fab over Hazard regardless.
I would leave ADM in the team.
this
Cheers. leaves me with 0.7 ITB. cant seem to find anyone i wanna replace zaha for, for under 7.5 (tadic) and my defence wont get much better for it. just save it?
Which option do you think is best out of:
A. PVA & Ivanovic
Or
B. Moreno & Cahill
?B for me.
Combining the scores I think B will outscore A.
Thanks chaps.
RMWC please
Bego / Given
Clyne / Ivan / Moreno / Hutton / 4.0 def Moore or Wisdom ?
Sterling / Hazard / Siggy / Rambo / King or Boyd ?
Costa / Naismith / Falcao
Help appreciated. In ML and no one else WC so need to get it right.
i feel that downgrading Ivan to collocini for example, will allow you wellbeck for naismoth and upgrade the last defender to naylor and you will achieve better balance.
Cheers sound advise
That's why I still have Schurrle 😎 😳 😆
Okay so, Team and Plans below:
Begovic (Elliot)
Bertrand Taylor Coloccini (Duff Wisdom)
Fabregas ADM Sterling Siggy (£4.5m)
Costa Balotelli Falcao
Plans:
Ride out the Arsenal fixture storm for the next 3 weeks then do Balotelli + £4m defender > Welbeck + Koscielny. That will leave £1m in the bank for other action. Thoughts?
Looks sound. For me ADM and Falcao is too much Man U but guessing by your pic you wont be changing that so good to go.
Hahaha, that is correct. The red tinted specs are on but the rest of my team are up for negotiation.
Do you think Falcao will start the next game? The team news doesn't have him starting at all. They are usually spot on. Who will drop between Mata/Rooney/RVP/Falcao?
For this week:
A) Cahill Mata (save)
B) Moreno Mata (use FT)
C) Moreno Fabregas (-4)
Thanks!a
...and now Jones... *sigh
I share your pain.
Just read that Saeed Ajmal has been banned .. ridiculous
That is seriously so ridiculous
Its like when u cant play him, ban him
Gutted...
Sorry if he's a chucker he's a chucker. Unless he goes and rectifies the flaw, I dont see it as being ridiculous at all. Big loss to cricket for whatever time he's away though, also I am pretty sure he'll be back.
The laws exist to serve the game, and if the chucking law stops Ajmal from playing then it's the law that needs to change.
I don't agree with that. They need a better way of monitoring the system but the law is there for a reason and applies to everyone.
Ummm no, the game is bigger than any one player and that should be obvious to any lover of any sport.
All deliveries found to be illegal, says ICC 😯
Ridiculous? All his deliveries including Doosra were illegal. You can't just simply allow that happening.
Does this apply to county/club cricket aswell? what about all the teams he's illegally bowled to this season for Worcester? he's destroyed every team he's come up against with his illegal action & they've pretty much cruised to the Div2 title as a result. It's wrong.
I cant understand how anyone can defend it.... EVERY ball... crazy.
if you had to choose between Coleman and Baines.. which one would you choose? Baines has all the potential in the world but Coleman has been getting all the points from last season
Tough One! but I will lean towards Baines..
im firmly in the baines camp too.. now that he and coleman are the same price it makes matter easier. last season was coleman's season cause of price tag
Thinking of getting one of em too, are ya? 🙂
Coleman has more potential for goals from open play.
Baines has more potential for assist from open play.
Baines has a lot of potential for goal from set pieces.
Coleman has 0
So
BAINES----------COLEMAN
Assists-------------0
Goals(SP)--------Goals(OP)
0.1 Cheaper
Further up the pitchyup. Terry replacement next week 🙂 .. dont really like terry and dont want a Chelsea defender that is not ivanovic and i cant afford him
Baines penaltys swings it for me
I think I have come down on the side of Coleman.
I'd go for Baines. Every season he brings home the points even if they aren't as noticeable as the occasional Coleman goal.
Yup.. You just know Baines will get the 170+ total at the end of the season cause of set pieces. Coleman @ a cheaper price may have been a better option. at the same price though baines is far more safer
Is Wisdom a good pick?
nah...
If Gamboa plays tonight's behind-closed-doors friendly against Hull City and comes back unscratched.. forget Wisdom.
Not anymore.
Good WC team?
Krul / Mannone
Ivanovic / Lovren / Wilson / N.Taylor / Wisdom
Fab/ Ramsey / Sterling / Siggy / Boyd
Falcao / Costa / Naismith
1.1m in the bank.
Any changes needed?Falcao to Kun
ivanovic, boyd and falcao to pva, di maria and aguero. something like that 🙂
why no faith in Falcao?
Also need to have a cheap mid to fit in all the other big hitters
Moore over Wisdom
Please help. I need a vote. No chance Sturridge will be starting Sat when Pool have Champs League Tuesday. So who do I take him out for (leaving him in not an option as also got Jov and Jones who are injured!!)
1. Falcao
2. Mario
3. Kun
4. Costa (who would be first choice were it not for his own niggle)
Thanks!
Kun
1. Falcao - No champions League to worry about
Costa
well that's cleared that up
Any thoughts on this WC team...
Begovic - 4m
Ivan - Moreno - Clyne - Taylor - Duff
Ramsey - Sigurdssen - Sterling - Fabregas - Boyd
Costa - Balotelli - Welbeck
CheersLooks good. I like it.
need more aguero and di maria
Thanks for the replies. Trying to weigh up whether Ivan is essential.
As Ivan > Colo/Pva would allow Balo > Kun
It's a tough call...
Begovic Krul
XXX Moreno Clyne Ferdinand Wisdom
XXX Fab Sterling Siggy Ramsey
Costa Balotelli Naismith
I have 13.3 for the 2 spots
Tadic + Shawcross or Schneiderlin + IvanovicThe latter.
Begovic Green works better, imo.
Is Moreno value?
Nice team, 7/10.I had Lovren before this GW and I wildcarded, one of the moves I thought I wanted to make was this. I like the look of Moreno a fair bit. I reckon he'll do good.
Cheers for the GK opinion, I'm pretty set on that, I have Ferdinand from the R's already, not a team I want to double up on in defence.
change krul to green, bring collocini and tadic
I want to bring in Tadic but, if I do I have to get rid of Ivanovic. That is precisely my dilemma at the moment, hence the question.
Clyne or Pieters?
Clyne
ESPN FC @ESPNFC
STAT: Three goals in two games for Yaya Sanogo for France Under-21s. @Arsenal have some competition up front at last!
It's Yaya time!! Welbeck on bench!!!!!!Sanogoal scored 😯
He is pretty good, despite opinions on here.
You should have done Orange color on your grav..because that's like the color of Netherlands...You look more French in this than Dutch
It's Sanogo time!!
*calls Vets and demands explanation for the flag fiasco (if there's any)..
how sad for him that he does not meet the kazahstan under 21 defence every week...
Will the real Yaya please stand up
Yellow [i] Jones
Yellow [i] Jovetic
Yellow [i] Costa
Red[i] Faurlin (5th mid. bench fodder)
2 FT
Who do you think should be priority to sub out and for who?
Or should I wildcard?Jovetic to Welbeck/Naismith, imo.
I think its too soon for Welbeck, but have been looking at Naismith, I´m just afraid that ship has sailed with Eto´o and Kone looming...
It is just two fecking game weeks!!! :-d
😀
I want a more solid pick 😉
Pity that you are not a member ... 🙂
I don't think it's too soon for Welbeck.
Costa will play! wait for Jones injury assessment and pressers!
Wait to see who's injured.
Dear All,
May I please have some advice on whether I need to improve the team?
Begovic (Krul)
Pieters Wisdom Janmaat (Clyne ,Caulker)
Schurle Ramsey Sterling Silva Dyer
Costa Rooney Naismith
My WC is active.
Thank you so much!I wouldn't keep Caulker...Wisdom is a no go...Schurrle a risk but a nice pick..rest looks good...If you are on WC then prob Rooney --> Falcao
Jones replacement if injured.
A) Moreno
B) Shawcross
C) clyne double up with Bertrand
D) aspzMoreno
Bit worried by champs league rotation or would def be on Moreno
Highly doubt Moreno would be rotated unless injured. Don't think Rodgers has ever been a big fan of JE. and Flanno will probably be competing with Manquilo for RB.
That said I could be completely wrong.
I would say you're completely right! 😉
I'd say use your bench (unless they aren't starters). His injury didn't look serious. Don't see him missing more than a week, think you can save the transfer / not take a hit.
shawcross
Is Foster likely to miss out this weekend?
Dunno - what happened?
He got flagged
Bugger.
Thanks Doosra 😉
I don´t know, they can´t even flag them atm, its all doubtful.... Yellow flags everywhere.
He should be fit for this weekend.. It was precautionary move he came back to WBA..
--
'He's had a little bit of a problem with his thumb during pre-season but nothing we haven't been able to manage,' Irvine told wba.co.uk.
'He just got it jarred. He went to catch the ball, secured it with his left hand but it then ricocheted off and hit down on the top of his thumb. That's exactly the movement he wouldn't have wanted.
'We don't feel there's a need to do anything drastic at this particular moment.
'There isn't a lot of swelling there, there's not a lot of bleeding, we don't believe it's a major injury or a big problem.'Thanks mate
Any idea when we'll get an update on the Costa and Jovetic injuries?
Friday conferences.
Hmmm, lets hope Costa, Sterling and Welbeck don't rise before then!
Well, I have them all, so ... 😀
Pressers - Friday
Anyone else a bit stumped with what to do with Sturridge?
My front 3: Costa, Sturridge & Bony.
Can't afford Aguero. Would like Falcao but he's not in Demi's predicted line up.
Balotelli time?Well, I am sitting on it, for now.
where is Demi's predicted line up?
The Price Changes are unbelievable this season.I thought Rooney would've had a double drop by now.
price rise changes are absolutely crap ,maybe my last season ,even last week,totally ruined it for me ,I like the idea of taking a punt on someone on a Saturday and hoping hell get through training ,this rule change has ruined it ,,bye bye......
I wonder how much or little strength and conditioning coaches in football focus on hamstring strengthening. Or how lazy players are with their pre-training/game stretches. Still seems that hamstring injuries are far too prevalent in the game.
They should be training in a waist-high pool ...
Yep, and doing Nordic curls on a regular basis.
Think I will still go the KF*C frontline and downgrade one to Welbeck later. Dont think double Arsenal is wise just yet and dont think there are any milfs better than Rambo
Falcoa is good..but is he 11m good? I'm not sure just yet. Currently on Kun/Costa/Ade
I need some good advice.
Being a Sturridge owner, I don't intend to keep him with high price and good alternatives out there.
Intend to have Aguero latest by GW6 as that is when their good run starts, but GW4 and GW5 fixtures for City is tough.
Would you transfer in Balotelli just for GW4 and GW5, which is likely to cost 4 points?
Already have Liverpool midfield coverage.nope...even with tough fixtures...Aguero might score! so go for Aguero only
He's totally fit right, no injury issues? Always worried re Aguero
