With this afternoon’s clash at Anfield completing the gameweek, our Members can now soak up all the numbers from another weekend’s football via our Members area. All the Opta data and ICT Index scores are in and, as usual, we can now offer a match-by-match breakdown of the standout performers, with an early prediction of the EA PPI and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bonus points…

    Have RVP, Sturridge and Balotelli, and am unsurprisingly giving up on the Italian mentalist. Eyeing up the fixtures which should I pick of

    A) Adebayor v Bolton (have VDV)
    B) Aguero v Norwich (have Silva)
    C) Some cheap striker and upgrade Ramsey/Eagles to Bale
    D) Other?

      Remeber Balotelli is only banned for the Carling Cup match, so will likely play against Norwich with Aguero next weekend with Dzeko/Aguero probably playing midweek.

      Despite that i see why you want him out, i'd go for A, i'm about to confirm Dzeko to Ade

      A. Tottenham with a good schedule (including a DGW in GW20) ahead. B is not bad but you just don't know whether Aguero will be rotated ahead of the upcoming CL game. And C is OK too, if you go Ba, whose schedule improves soon. A though, probably your best bet.

      Thanks for the clear and unanimous response scouts! Yeah, my head says A because Adebayor is in form and Bolton have a tragic defence with Wheater suspended for ever. But B just looks so tempting as Aguero is practically guaranteed to start for what you'd imagine must be an attacking City lineup against a side I don't think has kept a CS. Also I've not had Aguero this season and am provably suffering from grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side-itis. Is it?

          Hmmm epic way of putting it! Right... well, I also looked at fixtures for B and they're much worse than A with che and ARS to come next two GWs so A it is!

    S. Taylor puts in a match defining defensive effort yet R.Taylor gets bonus because he had one shot on target - ridiculous. Adebayor was always going to get the 3 - he had a heap of shots on target but most of them were laughable - soft and straight at the keeper. Players are getting rewarded for the wrong reasons.

      that is why i got howard and jag in my team in the last 2 weeks or so and its paid off had both on the field this week you could see the everton now of the last few years going on a spell of very low scoring games

      I can't believe you still have him either 😛
      I had him from the start - looking for the new Adam - but got shot when he was about 6.3/6.2 and was annoyed i'd lost that much value, its always 'just one more week then he'll come good'

      For 6.3 you can get Sess/Drenthe/Sinclair or downgrade further to the Pilkington/Eagles price bracket, not much in between..

      I'm hoping Drenthe comes good but i wouldn't bring him in just yet yourself. Sess has had a couple of good games, but if Bruce does get sacked in the morning it could take a while to get back to the right tactics and scoring enough, Sinclair i like, or Pilkington to save cash tbh

    So is Silva really vital for december?
    if he plays in mid week in the CC (unlikely) he'll probably be rested for NOR because of the match vs bayern, after that his next 2 fixtures are chelsea and arsenal, after that he would surely be rested for STO and sun and probably play wba and after that we can draft him in in the jan wc. thoughts?

      If it wasn't for the value I'd lose on him I would be tempted to ship him out after the NOR game. I'd definitely want him back in, and he can still score big in tough games, so he'll be staying in my team. I think Aguero could be -> Chico for me after NOR. Don't lose much on him and I'd rather Chico as MUN coverage than Nani/Young....

    Often when it comes to transfers we work with a palette of players we see as options. Based on team form, individual form and fixtures I reckon these are the best attacking options over the next six matches (ruling out a few familiar faces and indeed whole teams). I've split them by team in order of points within each team (according to me, lol). Thoughts?

    Aguero, Silva, Dzeko

    Hernandez, Rooney, Young

    RVP

    Mata, Sturridge, Lampard

    Ba, Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Best

    Adebayor, Bale, Defoe, VDV

    Larsson, Bendtner

    Klasnic, Eagles

    Walters

      Agree with all of that. Yeah Young has been hit and miss, but Nani is underperforming to the extent where Young probably already had better points per minute. I can't see MUN staying defensive rest of the season and I think Young will play a leading role in the scoring when it resumes. He will get usual assists from crossing but is also happy cutting inside to score. I expect from GW15 onwards he will average at least an assist a game.

      +1 it's probably the most unexpected sports news I've woken up to in years. I watch the interview and look out for signs there but there really aren't any, he speaks in such a relaxed and confident way, laughing towards the end - it's terrifying people can hide unhappiness so well. Thinking over his position when he died - Wales manager on the rise, all-round playing legend, no reported personal tragedy and no obvious pressures - it made me briefly wonder if he really did do it. But it seems absurd to think he had enemies. I think something very sad must have happened in his personal life that hasn't been reported yet.

        I did when I got him in. Now, I definitely don't. He is out of my team soon, I just don't think there isn't much appeal below 4.4m so my best route appears to be to wait till GW15 and then use 2 transfers to being in someone decent. Either Ramsey or Aguero the likely ones to make way....
