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.

    Jaaskelainen Hart

    Elmohamady Bosingwa Shawcross Jara Foley

    Fabregas Van der Vaart Nani Arteta Malouda

    With Alex out for 3 weeks, who to bring in instead? Cashley stops me getting Fabregas.

    Is there a nailed on starter replacement? I've got 0.1 rise from Alex, so lose that, there don;t seem to be any 0.2 risers in Defence over the next couple of weeks.

    Currently have Alcarez, Jara, Mummy, Coleman

              Well Boateng kinda got right back into the first 11 when he hadn't even played for them pre season.

              There is also fewer options at left back so I think Kolarov will start playing right away. Might just get the last 20-30 min. against Blackpool.

    Don't get all the Konchesky love. He's injured - not for the last time this season - he's playing for an abjectly-out-of-form side who leak two goals at home to Blackpool, and as someone who saw him in a Charlton shirt, he's (whisper this) NOT. ALL. THAT. GOOD.

    Okay, he's cheap, but he's nowhere near the best defender at that price.

        Looked great to me in the one match I saw him vs Birmingham.

        Kept a clean sheet.

        At 5M, lots of options surely - Samba, Shawcross, etc. but Liverpool should keep 10 + clean sheets and Blackburn, Bolton, and Wigan are 3 of their next 5.

        Wigan and Blackburn have problems scoring and Bolton have done well so far but are certainly not a team that Liverpool can't keep a clean sheet against.

        For 5M I think he's up there in the top 3-5 for that price range.

      It was the way you phrased it Soup. He must be good as he is there captain. I was just pointing out Turkey are pretty shit now and he is their best player and probably hence captain. I just think he is a bit average now at his age, but was a lot better when he got 3 past a weakened Utd 6 years ago.
      Don't worry about it, move on.

          And I stand by it. He had so much potential back then and he has failed to live up to it and achieved relatively little which is a shame as he was a player I admired. Although playing for Stoke doesn't really give him a chance to show his skills and flair though to be fair.
          Captain is great achievement for him personally but he's best out of a bad bunch of players at the moment. England have had so many bad captains under Sven it was embarrassing as they were playing pass the armband so the point is a bit muted.

    What do U think of this plan?

    GW 8 Alex out for Jara (or other 4m defender with reasonable fixtures the next few weeks). I do this to avoid Alex's drop in price due to his injuries.

    Gw 9. Etherington out for 4,5 m mid (Morrisson, Albrighton or Etuhu?)

    GW 10. Fabs and 4m def. in for Bale and Hughes (and a 4 point hit).

    Berba has some good fixtures coming up. But if he isn't scoring enough, I can always switch him for Odemwingie and one of my 4,5 mids for VdV!!

    Hi guys,
    Thinking of using my WC this week

    Current side is

    Foster, Hahn
    Enrique, Elmohamady, Dann, Knight, Alcaraz
    Nani, Malouda, Gerrard, Bale, Yaya Toure
    Drogba, Chamakh, Carroll

    What are your thoughts on
    Enrique, Yaya Toure, Bale, Gerrard OUT
    Simpson, Etherington, Adam, Fabs, Tevez IN

    Is Tevez & Adam a better option than Chamakh & Bale

    Thanks
