We take our regular look back at the Premier League line-ups from the weekend just gone, analysing the systems and personnel used by the 20 top-flight clubs and seeing what lessons could be learned ahead of Gameweek 6.

The article has taken a slightly different format this week as we harness the use of the average position maps in our Members’ Area.

The figures in brackets given after each player name correspond to the numbered shirts in the position maps.

      Jesus usually looks crap until he scores anyway, but the other 2 are way below par.

          This is where you shut everything down and go and draw a nice picture of a dog, away from football haha. But yeah I've been looking at defensive options the last few nights and now I jus want to delete all the defenders.

            Can Son get you the -8 back??
            Digne alone can get you 8.

            Just get Mount out. Dont panic
