Having previously assessed the form of forwards and midfielders across the last four Gameweeks, our third Key Performance Indicator (KPI) article of the international break casts an eye over the defenders.

For the unfamiliar, these Key Performers Indicator (KPI) tables use a series of key stats to allow our members to track a trend in player performance as a guide to their form. By tracking the frequency of certain key statistics, such as minutes per chance, and comparing them over two separate periods of time, we can ascertain patterns of improvement or decline in these areas. For those unfamiliar, we’ve rolled out a preview movie which shows just how to get the best out of the KPI tables.

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

    A: Sakho, Adm, Baines -> Costa, Downing, Azpi (-8)

    B: Play wildcard

    Rest of the team:
    Krul Elliot
    Clyne Taylor Chambers Duff (Baines)
    Hazard Siggy Sanchez Boyd (ADM)
    Pelle Aguero (Sakho)

    1FT, 0 itb

      Wait for more news. That is quite some hit if ADM & Sakho are fit you would be frustrated.

      11 years, 27 days ago

      i think ADM will we fine and your sub players could still pickup points I'd keep as it is..

    Currently

    Forster Guzan
    Bertrand Wilson n.taylor chambers Duff
    Hazard Sanchez Chadli downing boyd
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    Wasn't going to do a transfer this week but next week I was thinking Hazard and Pelle > Rooney and Sigurdsen for next week
    Any thoughts?

  3. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years

    Thoughts on this team?

    McCarthy Foster
    Baines Clyne Chambers Hutton Moore
    Fabregas Di Maria Mane Downing Boyd
    Aguero Costa Pelle
    1FT, 0.2m itb.

    First preference would be to save FT. Risk it despite all doubts and poor fixtures(Chambers and Foster). Planning Mane+Pelle>>Walcott+Austin/Sakho for free next week.
    But if there are any obvious transfer, please let me know.

    Thanks.

      Aren't Baines, Hutton and Moore doubters?
      Maybe a FT in defense to be able to fill 3 at the back?

  4. Mak_Gold
      11 years, 27 days ago

      A) Di Maria -> Sanchez, Mannone -> 4.0 GK
      B) Fabregas -> Sanchez, Baines -> Azpilicueta
      C) Fabregas -> Sanchez, Pelle -> Austin (if Baines is fit)
      D) Fabregas -> Sanchez, Di Maria -> Hazard, Baines -> Azpilicueta for a -4 hit

      Krul,
      Baines, Clyne, Chambers,
      Fabregas, Di Maria, Downing, Sigurdsson,
      Aguero, Costa, Pelle.

      Subs: Mannone, Boyd, Wisdom, N. Taylor.

      2 FTs, £0.6m ITB.

      Cheers.

      Any ideas with this team lads ?

      Forster
      Wisdom clyne duff Moore dummet
      Adm siggy Downing Sanchez Boyd
      Costa PELLE aguero

      I am about 60 points above second place so I can afford a hit or 2

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Would probably save the trade until next week

        1. Takedog1
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 27 days ago

          What about wisdom to azpi?

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 27 days ago

            Moore to Azpi would be better I think, if you are determined to make the trade.

    • Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 27 days ago

      So assuming Baines doesn't play this weekend, how many more points do you think Coleman will score than Wisdom?

        Less than 4.

            Grr. Not the answer I was looking for 😀

    • andres

      ADM, baines, sakho... What is the plan guys?

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Reckon Sakho and Di Maria will play. If Martinez indicates Baines will be out for longer than a week, I will probably sell him for either Coleman or Azpi

        1. andres
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah, might go azpi. Lets wait for the pressers... In any case if any of those are confirmed out would you sell?

          Bench doesnt look to good naylor, moore, boyd...

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 27 days ago

            Since I would like to keep all of them mid-term, then probably not.

    • UnitednationsXI

      Right, what would you do with this team? have 1ft and 0.6m

      Moore-terry

      Play terry,Baines every week rotate n.taylor,yun,Hutton

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 12 Years

        Get Terry

        Budget strikers have been producing the goods so far and no reason for that to stop

    • thepuntmaster

      Made my transfers and ended up with this..

      Forster (avl)

      Baines (WHU) - Chambers (MUN) - Clichy (SWA)

      Haz (WBA) - Barkley (WHU) - ADM (ars) - Sissoko (QPR)

      Aguero (SWA) - Diego Costa (WBA) - Austin (new)

      Marney - Wisdom - Bartley

      pretty happy with that 😀

      Currently on WC and 0.3m itb:

      Krul (Elliot)
      Baines - Clyne - Yun (Wisdom - Duff)
      Siggy - Hazard - Sanchez - Downing (Wanyama)
      Aguero - Costa - Austin

      Good to go or changes?

      Changes im thinking about is Krul and/or try to do clyne->azpi

      Cheers

      1. Pie-o-My
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        I'm on the WC as well. I've gone for Guzan/Given over Krul/Elliot due to fixtures.

        I downgraded to Oscar for my chelsea midfielder and that funded Chadli as the fifth mid and Azpi to accompany Clyne and Baines in defence. Otherwise we are pretty much the same.

        1. JPlicious
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Ye im thinking about transfer my gk's but in pretty sure i want that Haz (penalties) and so on...

    • Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 27 days ago

      How about this for a plan?

      (1) Baines gets ruled out this w/e

      GW12: Baines -> Terry
      GW13: Chadli & Pelle -> either a) Boyd/Dyer & Rooney, or b) ADM/Wally & Austin

      (2) Baines is not ruled out this w/e

      GW12: Hutton & Pelle -> Terry & Austin
      GW13: Chadli -> Downing (or save)

      Bank 0.0m, 2 freebies

      Krul, Elliot
      Baines, Chambers, Wisdom, Hutton, Yun
      Sanchez, Hazard, Chadli, Siggy, Albrighton
      Aguero, Costa, Pelle

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        What if Baines is ruled out for just 1 week? No point taking him out

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 27 days ago

          I kinda think he has to go even if only ruled out for 1 week. He has tot and che in 2 of his next 3 and I don't see many points there.

          With the less volatile prices this season I think you can mix it up a little, so if getting rid this week I would likely bring him back after the mcy game and only lose 0.1m or maybe 0.2m in value, which is bearable

          1. Shifty
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 27 days ago

            since when has anyone got baines for the clean sheet potential? 🙂

            Tott and Chelsea aren't exactly water tight.

      2. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Irrespective of Baines Injury the second plan looks good...and you can easily save in GW13..Chadli is in fine form...1 also looks good but why do you want to remove Chadli in both situations? in second situation you can change Albrighton (who doesn't get any game time) to someone else..to have a playing bench player

    • Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I can do Pelle + Silva --> Austin // Ings(Yes I'm Considering him) // Berahino + Sanchez

      but would seem quite sideways...

      I am thinking to do Silva --> either Sterling or Siggy...I think Sterling's good run will start now..

      1. Christina.
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        ...Im not so sure with this Sturr news....

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 27 days ago

          I know...but I read Balo also injured for CP game...maybe he gets involved more this week?

      2. Sunny 😎
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        That isn't sideways at all. I like those moves

        I don't think Sterling will go on a good run with new Sturridge situation

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 27 days ago

          yeah..but soooo many people have got Sanchez in..just doesn't make me want to get him..

          1. Sunny 😎
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 27 days ago

            You can wait for Walcott but what if he just keeps on scoring like Yaya and Ramsey did last season..

            1. Moin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 27 days ago

              I know..that's what I fear..will just wait for the presser and make the switch I guess...can take a safe punt on Ings..not having Sanchez would itself become a dangerous punt...

      3. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Tricky position - with Sturridge out I'm not so sure on Sterling, and Siggy has a tough fixture this week.

        Can you afford Berty & Silva -> Yun & Sanchez?

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 27 days ago

          nah..I always had Ings in my mind..plus I want to Upgrade Berty rather than downgrade him...

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 27 days ago

            Ings would be a great differential if he came good. Looked decent for the U21s the other night and grabbed a couple of goals I believe. It's just whether you trust Burnley as an attacking force I guess.

            Thoughts on my above plan?

      4. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Burnley just don't score enough goals to even think about Ings.

        There are punts and there are bad decisions. Ings falls squarely in the latter zone 🙂

        Austin + Sanchez to play the form card.

        Berahino i'm not sold. Talented, but think WBA overperformed during that run of goals.

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 27 days ago

          as everyone seems to be getting Austin...he won't be much of a differential...

      38 / 3 = 12,67.
      The mathematically correct time to use your WC are between GW 12-13.

        38 / 9.5 = 4

      Worth wc-ing this team?

      Begovic - Gilks
      Baines - Clyne - Chambers - Moore - Pva
      Alexis - ADM - Fab - Chadli - Marney
      Aguero - Pelle - Sakho

    • thorvaldsson
      • 13 Years

      How does ADM to Sterling sound? Liverpool may have an underperforming Balotelli and a hurt Sturridge but those fixtures look too sweet.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Hmm, i say no,

        Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Chadli, Downing, all seem in better form and if downgrading could upgrade defence to CHE?

      Two questions...

      1. Sell Chadli or Downing?

      2. Is Naylor/Siggy/Fabianski too much Swans until January?

        Chadli as I rate downing over him..
        Spurs are shit

        2 given the good run of fixtures ..its really good but as the fixtures start to go bad ..
        Start by letting go of one of the defensive assets

        I m selling none of em

        My TV allows me to have good defenders
        Only sold pelle to have Costa

        If one then clyne coz Bertrand has low ownership

        Bertrand goes forward more...but when clyne does go forward he makes it count

      I made a vow this season to try to Drastically reduce my hits particularly not taking hits to take out players who had potential of doing well for someone who I'm scared of not having, especially if that means breaking up a team that has being doing ok. This weekend is going to be a good indicator for me.

        Nothing wrong with hits if done properly

        I only take hits for injured players.

      Burning question with Chelsea's plum fixture list and the injury doubts of ADM, Sakho, etc, what are your thoughts on...

      A) ADM + Pelle -> Costa + Chadli
      B) ADM -> Hazard
      C) Sakho -> Austin

      I also have Fab and Baines injured but not considering getting rid of either because of there consistency and form.

      1. Evans
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        If you already have fab then A otherwise would've recommmend hazard

          Forgot to add it would be for a -4 hit!

      hi guys

      currently have a midfield of Fab, siggy, downing, Sanchez and Boyd

      shall I do Fab > Chadli and Welbeck > Costa
      Or
      Fab > Oscar and Pelle > Costa

      Ta

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 27 days ago

        di Maria > Oscar is on the cards for me personally if ADM is ruled out.

        I'd go with the former though that being said. Fab>Oscar seems sideways, Pelle has a decent fixture this GW

        Tricky. If you definitely want Costa, it seems Fabregas is the only way, that said he still has points in him, so not sure if that's the best idea.

        I'd maybe wait a week, Pelle's last good fixtures, Welbeck against his previous team could mean some points there.

      How nailed on is Januzaj folks? Worth a draft punt?

      1. FISSH
        • 12 Years

        nope

        I think he's nailed but not really a FPL player
