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.

    DDG
    Chester Clyne Chambers
    Siggy ADM Sanchez Tadic
    Austin Aguero(C) Costa

    Hamer Marney Wisdom Moore

    0FT left. 1.9 in bank

    Anything worth a hit to help field a full team?

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      eg Tadic--->Chadli, DDG--->Guzan/Adrian, Moore--->Dummett are main 3 transfers for -4 I am considering

    2. Captain Shirokov

      11 years, 29 days ago

      Can't see any of them being worth it tbh.

    So many of my players are doubts that i may just have to trust to luck.

  3. Del Monte

    • 13 Years

    Am I lucky that I only have S.Taylor, Baines & Welbeck as doubts?

    I think they will all play if that helps anyone.

    1. Wiz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      I only have Baines 😀

    2. HammersXI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Ya kinda. I got 5 injuries, one red flag and Moore not in favour. How bad can that go

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      I only have Baines and ADM

  4. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Baines
    Tadic
    ADM

      Snap

      Moore dropped as well

    2. Willis.
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Tadic and Sakho will be ok.

    3. HammersXI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Baines
      Tadic
      Sakho
      Vlaar
      ADM

      I never had such an injury crisis before.

      1. HammersXI
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Oh since ppl are including Moore. I have 6 🙂 that's more than 1/3 of my team. Big Red arrow incoming.

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years

      Relying of Blackett and Bruce 😆

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        😯

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Apart from Tadic I'll want them all next week too

      Might have to grin and bear it

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Thats the killer isn't it

    6. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Baines, ADM, Sakho and Moore here...

    7. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      I know the feels bro
      I have Baines, AdM & Sakho myself

  5. HammersXI
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    Horrendous crisis with 5 players doubtful. Should I take a hit to remove them or do something to tadic and Moore to replace them with chadli/downing and yun/Dummet

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Sounds like what I may have to do too

      Downgrade Tadic and upgrade Bruce

      1. HammersXI
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Sadly I don't have enough funds to do Tadic and Moore to Downing and Azpi. It would be madness to take out Chester right? That means leaving Moore to rot......

    2. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Stop whining... 😉

      Baines, Fabregas, Di Maria, Welbeck, Hutton, Moore, McCarthy here 🙁

      1. HammersXI
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Wow. I didn't expect anyone worse than mine. I have poyet red flagged also. Which makes it 6! How do you plan to fix the horrible injury concerns?

      2. Van Dal
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        McArthy doesnt count.

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          But he's got a red alert - should they be ignored?

      3. Wiz
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        McCarthy 😯

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          A GW4 WC great idea 😳

      4. Waterwheel Inc.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        De Gea, Baines, PVA, Coloccini, ADM, JWP, Welbeck. Call that a draw?

  6. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    What's everyone's TV? Is 104.5 good? Or is it about average?

    1. faux_C

      Stop bragging. It's transparent.

      2. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years

        I ain't bragging..

      3. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        It should be viewed relative to rank, not in isolation.

        I'm in 105.5 TV 103.8 SV but down in 550k OR (deliberate by the way)

        1. Amateur Pundit Zan
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          You deliberately have a bad rank?

          1. Fitzy.
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 29 days ago

            Different strategy for sure... 😆

            1. Think Tank
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 29 days ago

              See below - hits for TV

              1. Fitzy.
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 29 days ago

                Yeah, but there are plenty of people with similar TV to yours and better ranks. You don't need to throw your rank away to build up TV.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      What's your rank?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        If I say that, that would be bragging.

    3. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Hehe I'd say that a bit above average mate, on the hairline
      Mine's 104.2

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        130k rank 🙁
        W/ 4 hits & a WC 😉

    4. President John F. Keninnsie

      105.6 here

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Nice!

      2. HammersXI
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Wow that's insane... Amazing value you have there. Really shows why u are so high! How are you coping with the injuries this week?

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          Quite surprising that my TV is decent without taking any hits, it shows the importance of picking the right players!

          I've got Baines, ADM, Downing (?) and Welbeck (who I'm selling anyway) all potentially injured. Got Moore too 🙁 I'll probably be relying on Naylor away at City 😯

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 29 days ago

            Oh and McCarthy 😉

          2. HammersXI
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 29 days ago

            Downing isn't injured! Ya I guess so. I got hurt without picking Fab the whole season.. Hopefully half my injury clear up so that I won't get a massive red arrow. Ya your TV is massive without taking a hit. I've been curbing taking a hit but I guess I've to take 2 over the course of the 2 gwks to come.. Swansea vs Manchester City. There's always a shock somewhere 🙂

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 29 days ago

              Yeah I lost heaps of TV selling Fab and Siggy too, so it could've been even better 😉 I think this GW is going to be a pretty bad one for everyone with the majority of people having injured players, so I doubt we'll see a major swing in the ranks for either of us 🙂

              1. HammersXI
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 29 days ago

                Yeah. I wished I used Fab for the prices. Lost a lot with Sterling.. Held him for way too long. Ya I'm expecting a low gw score.. Which makes taking a hit kinda scary. I think you would maintain your position throughout the whole season! Mine fluctuates wah too much, which shows how close everyone is!

                1. President John F. Keninnsie
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 29 days ago

                  Ha, I haven't been this high in my FPL career so if I can keep it up I'll be really surprised. I'm gonna sit tight and not take a hit this week, hopefully that will be a little differential in itself. If you pick the right captain you'll get a green arrow IMO 🙂

                  1. HammersXI
                    • 13 Years
                    11 years, 29 days ago

                    I think you have enough skill to finish higher than your prev few years! Anything better than last year for me will be an achievement! Yeah I guess I'll wait till Friday and make a decision. I still have to get rid of players next week. Yeah that's true 🙂 Aguero vs Costa vs Sanchez for that!

                    1. President John F. Keninnsie
                      • 12 Years
                      11 years, 29 days ago

                      Cheers Hammers. Good luck this week 🙂

                        Thanks man! ☺ Good luck to you! Another green arrow up ahead! ☺

      3. Zasa

        Yeah? So what? Stop bragging about it tuff guy

            @ Innsie Should i give Eriksen one more chance this GW?? Or Eriksen>>Downing is a GO Go. ?? 🙂

              • 12 Years
              11 years, 29 days ago

              I reckon Eriksen has to go ASAP 🙂

    5. HammersXI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      104.3 with WC not used.
      Would be just about average here I guess. I will trade my TV for my current ranking at the end of the season 😉
      Never reached top 10k ever till this season. Expected not to last there

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        I like to play for TV/SV till January, then charge up the overall rankings with an OP team for the second half.

        1. HammersXI
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          Hopefully I can do that I guess? Usually I'm better after Jan wildcard so I'm pleasantly surprised with my current rank. Having a nice amount of TV during Jan will do me a lot of good.

          1. Think Tank
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 29 days ago

            Just remember it's the SV that's important come WC time.

      105.7
      25k Rank
      WC used
      19 transfers I went -16 one week and was in 25K for that week

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Hits can pay off, for sure. For the most part, each team of the gw consists of a completely different set of players.

        1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          I love to tinker but right now for the first time this season i am happy with Balance and captain option..till next week when I need to cut my saints players

          1. Think Tank
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 29 days ago

            I'm happy with my squad too - taken multiple hits along the way but now have a squad capable of pushing up the rankings, so may slow down the TV build and climb up the OR for a bit first.

    7. A.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Only 103m here. No WC played, 19k OR after a couple of red arrows

  7. Van Dal
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    I have Fabs, Di Maria, and Wellbeck. Confident that all them will start!

  8. camarozz

    Wow. Havnt lookd at FPL in since last game n ther we go,baines,fab ADM, welbeck yellow flagged,, yipee.

      Wow what tough luck. I had Siggy as my first sub and I was complaining like mad.. Imagine I had your bench. But having Clyne from the start really made a big diff eh.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        What was even worse was having Baird come off the bench for West Brom in the last minute of the game. Could of had Chester points 🙁

        1. HammersXI
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          Ouch that gotta hurt. I had that a few times this seasoj
          Missing Chester's cs when he gets it seem to be my favourite move. How's your rank like?

          1. Puyol Pants Up

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years

      I had Clyne on the bench. Started the other 2 😉

    3. Matt Sk
      • 14 Years

      I benched Moore ahead of Chester so he got in, my biggest fail this season probably :/

  10. Sanguinista
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    Folks, need your help!! Is it worth wildcarding from

    Krul FOSTER

    Baines CLYNE MOORE DUFF HUTTON

    Siggy Downing HAZARD TADIC MARNEY

    Costa Aguero WELBECK

    to

    Krul GUZAN

    Baines CRESWELL AZPI TRIPPIER YUN

    Siggy Downing OSCAR SANCHEZ AMOEBI

    Costa Aguero AUSTIN

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Absolutely not no. Fixtures are starting to work in the former's favour somewhat. Why would you get rid of Hazard for Oscar? Also, Ameobi is a striker and a guff one at that isn't he?

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Foster, Duff and Hutton can be kept. You can also hold onto Clyne for a couple of weeks, easily. If you are playing safe, you can work the rest of the moves in over a couple of gameweeks.

      2. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Its Sammy Ameobi Fortune 😆

  11. Rolf Harris Saint Germain
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    Thought id turn to the captain poll to help me decide between Costa & Aguero.

    If anything im now more undecided.

    1. Think Tank
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Costa's higher ownership equates to more votes.

      1. Rolf Harris Saint Germain
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        You think if they had equal ownership Aguero would be the frontrunner?

        1. Think Tank
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          Yes, for sure.

          1. Rolf Harris Saint Germain
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 29 days ago

            Thats sound logic. Much appreciated

      2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Surely everyone on here owns Aguero ?

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      🙂

      Like TT said, it all comes down to has who. Costa w/ the higher ownership will win at the end of the day, still not much in it on who's the better option.

      Kun at home against Brom
      Costa at home vs a more sturdy Swans defense (albeit w/o Fernandez)

      Tough mate, go w/ your gut.

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        *other way around, Kun vs Swans, DC vs Brom

  12. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    Howard, Gilks
    Cahill, Clyne, Chambers, Wisdom, Naylor
    Sanchez, Downing, Mane, Siggy, Marney
    Aguero, Welbeck, Costa,

    1ft, 2.8m in the account.

    Thinking either Baines in for Clyne (5.3) or Oscar for Mane.

    Should I wait another GW to make any change?
    How essential is Baines?

    Have most my defence since the start and they ve been pretty good.
    My mids a slight concern.

      You can wait a week for Baines due to injury doubt. Oscar is a decent enough shout, I'd rather have Haz though.

  13. Big_Andy_GAWA

    Alright folks,

    Reckon we'll get much clarification of Welbeck injury situation outta Wenger on Fri ?

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      yes - and he will probably be fine

  14. Van Dal
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    [] Bego []

    [] Dummett [] Clyne [] Chambers [] Moore [] Naylor []

    [] Sanchez [] Fabs [] ADM [] Siggy [] Boyd []

    [] Aguero [] Costa [] Wellbeck []

    Hows this team lads and ladettes?

    1. Rolf Harris Saint Germain
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Needs more Baines,

      Apart from that it looks good

      1. Van Dal
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Looking to work him in for Hull game. Cheers.

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Good, considering it hurts my eyes when looking at it due to those little things between players' names 😉

  15. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    Maybe,

    Cahill- Baines and Mane- Oscar AFTER this GW..

    Good moves..? Would mean I am keeping Clyne instead of Cahill.
    Got him at 5.3m

    Howard, Gilks
    Cahill, Clyne, Chambers, Wisdom, Naylor
    Sanchez, Downing, Mane, Siggy, Marney
    Aguero, Welbeck, Costa,

    1ft, 2.8m in the account.

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      how about Mane ---> Oscar this gw?

  16. SnowPea
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    From next week who do people prefer?

    a) Cresswell + 0.6 itb
    b) Azpi

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      B

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      B personally, rather opt for Adrian for the Hammers

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      B

    4. Billy Ketsu
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Azpi looks good value but perhaps both might score well.

  17. Joga Bonito®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    Hutton due back 22nd Nov but is red. Any news on him?

    I've got Baines, Sakho, Fabregas and JWP too.

    Not looking forward to this week as I don't have Costa either.

    Thinking of swapping Fab for Haz but not sure about this long term. What do you think?

    1. Waterwheel Inc.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Nice to see someone else is still stuck with JWP. I'd wait for more news, but the Fab to Hazard move would tempt me. Couldn't justify it with the other problems if Fab's cleared to play though.

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Wait for Villa presser for more news. I wouldn't make that transfer unless Fab is ruled out.

  18. davysteen
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 29 days ago

    0.4 ITB, 2 FT, WC available

    Begovic Gilks
    Baines Clyne Chambers Duff Wisdom
    ADM Fabregas Sterling Siggy Albrighton
    Aguero Welbeck Pelle

    Any thoughts to improve guys? What should I do?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Don't hate the idea of wildcarding that team.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Why would you Wildcard that !?

      2. davysteen
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Why? Didn't think it was that bad

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          I'd make a lot of changes to it. I'd probably only want to keep Aguero, Siggy, Baines, Duff, and Wisdom from that lot.

        2. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          That said you can easily get by and make slow and incremental changes. Needs Alexis immediately. I'd probably go Fab and Sterling out for Alexis and someone else with your frees.

      3. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        2ft?

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Welbeck ---> Austin? Sterling ---> Downing? (provided ADM and Fab are fine, and they should be)

      id use just one transfer then you can perhaps upgrade Pelle and the defence a bit next week 🙂

      1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        or instead of the defence get alexis in for one of ADM/Fab next week

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Needs Costa and Sanchez.

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Needs Costa, Sanchez and I'd want Haz too.

  19. Jay_
      11 years, 29 days ago

      Already looking ahead , what combo would you rather to feel the gaps :
      _________Fabianski
      Baines Chambers Hutton Yun ***
      Sanchez Hazard Downing *** Boyd
      ____Aguero Costa Austin

      A: Dummet AdM
      B: Terry Chadli

      Basically Adm attacking threat vs Terry CS and Chadli goals , im leaning towards B ( could have just posted A and B but rest of players are relevant )

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        That's a really tough one. I would go with B because having a Chelsea defender over the next stretch will be nice. And Chadli is good value for money.

      2. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        That's tough, probably B since your defence would be pretty weak with Dummett in there. I would rather have Siggy over Chadli if that was possible too.

      3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        B otherwise defence is too light imo...I prefer Siggy over Chadli though

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          Copycat 😉

      4. Goodnight Kiwi
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 29 days ago

        Azpi and Siggy?

      5. Jay_
          11 years, 29 days ago

          Thanks for replies all , B is flexible and Azpi /Siggy is affordable but I already have Chadli so would probably stick with him , yes and a Chelsea defender seems the way to go , it's just finding the right one 🙂 Terry seems to getting closer towards scoring , Azpi maybe rotated and Ivan too expensive

        • Amateur Pundit Zan
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          B would basically give you the same outfield 10 that I am working towards (except azpi over terry) so I guess b

          1. Jay_
              11 years, 29 days ago

              🙂 to get B I need to do
              Welbeck > Austin gw13
              Bertand > Chelsea defender gw14
              And swap Moore for Yun when possible after

        • NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 29 days ago

          Does the article make you re-consider a plan to ditch So'ton def?

          I still keep a plan to ditch one of Forster & Clyne, rather Forster.

          1. Walsh
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 29 days ago

            Certainly would rather keep Clyne than Forster. Not even a close call to me.

            1. Lallana_
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 29 days ago

              Can you justify having Clyne when Gibbs for a similar price has decent fixtures and just as high as attacking potential? It's been bothering me. Southampton this year have been remarkable. Only conceded 5 goals!

              1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 29 days ago

                Gibbs will get injured soon enough 🙂

                1. Lallana_
                  • 11 Years
                  11 years, 29 days ago

                  You mean Walcott?
                  OK...I'll leave 😛

              2. Walsh
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 29 days ago

                Gibbs is always hurt, as AR says, and Arsenal defense is a clear cut beneath Soton to date in my view. I would also not want Gibbs over Chambers as I'd prefer to bank that difference. I also don't really think that Arsenal have such terrific fixtures from a clean sheet standpoint from here until the January WC.

                1. Lallana_
                  • 11 Years
                  11 years, 29 days ago

                  Yeah I don't own Chambers for that reasoning. When Debuchy and Koscielny are in the side you see a different Arsenal.

                  1. Walsh
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 29 days ago

                    I'm hoping that by that time Wenger will be willing to play Chambers at CDM instead of Flamini.

                    1. NATSTER
                      • 15 Years
                      11 years, 29 days ago

                      Oh.. Just know that chambers can play in that position too. Has AW ever played him there this season?

                      1. Walsh
                        • 12 Years
                        11 years, 29 days ago

                        I can't recall. He may have gotten a game there in pre-season? I think he's mainly been filling in at CB though since Mert and Kos have taken turns being out going all the way back to preseason. I just remember when Wenger bought Chambers he mentioned something about envisioning him in that role. It's not as though him playing there and having some growing pains along the way would be worse than keeping Flamini there. Flamini is just pure shit.

                  Chambers but have a feeling Tripper is about to go on a good run , has good stats and good fixtures if they start scoring he will get more assist

                    Agreed if they actually score some goals he should be involved had huge assists last season

                  Trippier, similar CS chance, more goal threat

                It's not this week I'm worried about it's GW13.

                At the moment I have 4 players doubtful and optimistic that only Baines is a serious doubt. However I do have 5 players on 4 yellows. If they all pick up another booking I'm fooked.

                Sort of on the back of that great burning questions article earlier, but new crowd (best crowd) here on the DZ was curious to ask. What three Chelsea assets are you looking to have for the near future? Dithering between double defense and Hazard versus double defense and Costa versus 1 defender, Hazard, and Costa here....

                  • 12 Years

                  Already have Costa
                  Getting hazard this week
                  All goes to plan will get azpi 2 weeks after that after trading down pelle to Austin to fund it next week

                    Costa and Hazard not too many eggs in one attacking basket for you, Zan?

                    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
                      • 12 Years
                      11 years, 29 days ago

                      I like to double down on good fixture runs for form teams
                      And Costa looks like the 2nd best striker and hazard the 2nd best Mf so both warrant inclusion when looked at in isolation.

                        Can't argue with that. Cheers, mate.

                  Probably just Azpi and Costa. No room for a Chelsea mid for me.

                    • 12 Years

                    You're gonna hold faith with di Maria?

                      • 12 Years
                      11 years, 29 days ago

                      At least for the next 3 weeks. After that I'd probably prefer Walcott over a Chelsea mid anyway. From memory, the Christmas period is when Mou really grinds out results/narrow wins.

                      1. Walsh
                        • 12 Years
                        11 years, 29 days ago

                        Yeah that makes sense. Walcott will probably be a better shout than AdM and Hazard once starting anyways. Double Chelsea defense could really do the trick. Can't help myself but seeing past it...

                          • 12 Years
                          11 years, 29 days ago

                          After the success story that double Southampton defence has been for me, I might be slightly tempted too...

                        • 12 Years
                        11 years, 29 days ago

                        Yeah Walcott the joker in the pack who might upset my Sanchez hazard combo

                          11 years, 29 days ago

                          Yeah I mean I am looking at possibly being able to double Chelsea defense and have Baines in addition to Walcott Hazard Alexis in mid versus having to sort of rip it up in order to accommodate Costa in up top. Think it might be more fun to go without Costa..though far more risky.

                  I have got hazard fabs and costa. Plan to sell one of the midfield ones to get sanchez or di maria when fixtures or suspensions or injury happens

                  I've had Cesc and Costa since the beginning, have some spare cash so was thinking of adding Hazard

                    Tripling their attack was not something I had considered 😀 Too bold for me.

                  Hazard Oscar and Azpi/Terry

                    • 12 Years

                    Why no Costa for you, AR?

                      well it's really down to Oscar + Coleman vs Costa + Naylor for me, and looking at the latter pair's form has swayed me, not too mention Costa is on 4 YC's and up against Lescott and Dawson this round 😀

                        • 12 Years

                        Well you certainly have flair in your favor. Still not a big fan of Oscar myself. He really screwed me over last year.

                  Have Hazard since creation, though am still monitoring him vs AdM long term. One has to go in order to fund Costa which will liven up my teams ability to climb the rankings. Unless Costa gets another YC, or just shows horrible form, it may even prove to be a great asset having three premium mids on my side & opting for a Giroud or Bony for the secod tier spot (At the expense of Costa of course). Though right now, Costa just seems the way to go for me, another great skipper option to compliment Aguero.

                  Costa will definitely be on my side, will be planning on having him for a while (if possible), he's in form + now w/ Sturridge out, he has poor competition for the second big hitter spot
                  The only strikers who might overtake him are Giroud & possibly Bony/Gomis.

                  For the last spot, I'm eyeing up Azpi or JT. JT's recent goal scoring threat from set-pieces both internationally & at club level has proven hard to resist. Though, maybe Azpi's total BAPS might even out or even better JT's goal scoring through out the season. Currently on Azpi.

                  1. Walsh
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 29 days ago

                    The one thing about captaincy for Costa is that looking at his home games from now until Jan WC is GW14 16 and 18 are all favorable with Spurs, Hull, and West Ham respectively. However in that time Aguero in GW14 has at Sunderland which isn't great but still captainable and then Alexis has GW16 NEW and GW18 QPR....both fantastic captaincy games....while Aguero has away games in those two even though those two away games are against Leicester and West Brom. In short, I don't think the captaincy option of Costa is tooo too overwhelming of a factor.

                  My browser isn't allowing me to reply to messages, but changed my chelski cover this week. Taken out Cesc allowing me to bring back Costa. Now have Hazard, Costa and Cahill.

                  I only have Hazard. Not sure if I will downgrade Clyne to free up cash for attacking reinforcements or if I will upgrade him to Azpi.

                  Azpi Hazard (currently on Fab) and Costa are who Im looking at. Already have Costa and Fab and transferring in Azpi this week unless these damn injuries keep piling up 😆
