Very soon we will be handing Members the ability to view the Opta performance statistics in weekly snapshots – so you’ll be able to view how players perform by the Gameweek. More on that and other “Phase two” developments later.

For now, I thought I’d give you a glimpse of the kind of analysis that this allows by dissecting the data from Gameweek 7 and assessing some of the players that leap out in terms of the key indicators – Total Crosses, Key Passes, Successful Passes in the Oppositions Half and Goal Attempts.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Most of them were pretty wayward though or was just hopeless ones put in when there wasn't even wnyone in the box from sunderland. Elmo definitely didn't deserve the 3 bps from that showing but one thing I liked about him was that he is direct and just thinks of going forward and enough skill and power to go past defenders so if he keeps this up and improves on his crossing he will definitely be a fixture in everyone's team especially when Sunderland play at home with Bent and Gian upfront.

    Priceless info, Mark. Excellent and Yay for the Mumster!

    Just been looking at the Metro points for midfielders and Gerrard ranks second in that game. I was wondering how he managed it given LVP's dire form?

    Perhaps you ought to point out, Mark, that even though Gerrard is unappealing in the FPL, in other games he is of some worth.

      probably not. if the row was bad he wouldn't have come out for the second half. it will probably go down as a sign of passion.

      I would say Nani as well. Just had a look at the Captain's poll and shocked to see Nasri isn't even an option. Is it that far fetched that Fabs won't be ready and Nasri runs the show scoring thousands of points?

    Hopefully Alex will be back for the Wolves game, was going to bench him for the Villa game.

    Well, I was going to bench him until about 5:40 on Sunday... Then I realised that it could be potentially madness.

    No worry though, Salcido is a more than competent back up.

    I hope you enjoyed my story.

    Ladies and Gents,

    Could you review my team (linked) and let me know what you think about the proposed WC team below.

    Krul/Robinson

    Elmo/Alex/Dann/Jara/Foley
    Malouda/Nani/VDV/Fabs/Etherington
    Drogba/Carroll/Odemwinigie

    Main call would be whether to go with Fabs/Odemwinigie or Arteta and Berbatov.

    btw – already done Gerrard/Bale to Nani/VDV no points hit.

          Yeah some knob fiddled with my team last season... He went onto my computer and made loads of transfers. Fortunately I'd already played my wildcard, so only lost value not points. Lost about 0.5 from it, and had the likes of Ben-Haim in my team when I came back to it...

      If anything, I think Fabs will rise as he gets closer to fitness and people start shipping him in again.

      If people have him now, can't see them dumping him with the international break upon us.

          already shipped him and Bale for Nani and VDV.

          Although you could go to Malouda long term as an option and then try and squeeze Fabs back in a little later.

          Birmingham aren't gonna be push overs, plus I can't see Fabs going the full 90, so don't see the need to get him back right away, unless you don't have the funds...

    Ha, just got a reply back from Fpl regarding the N'zogbia nonassist. I wud've preferred if they had just ignored instead of replying with such tosh. For your amusement:

    Hi there

    N'Zogbia was awarded the assist for Wigan's second goal. The ball took a
    slight deflection off the defender on the way through to Rodallega, but
    this did not significantly change the direction or pace of the ball.

    The Press Association provide all the data for our games, and we will
    pass your comments on to them.

    However as it states in the rules:

    "Neither we nor the Press Association will enter into any correspondence
    relating to the allocation of points to players."
