This was a Gameweek littered with outstanding performances, particularly in midfield where the array of talent jostling for spots in our squad now presents a major headache. This week’s bumper edition of “Big Numbers” for members carries out the usual exploration of the stats behind the Gameweek, with midfield options across all the price brackets gaining momentum and our keen interest…

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

    Honest Opinion, I don't think Kagawa really suits playing with RVP at the moment. Kagawa was signed before RVP and the whole thing is a bit slapdash putting them together. Better to rely on RVP's heroics first to be safe is probably Fergie's call. It will be interesting to see how it's all adapted, surely if Kagawa is a shoe-in for starts then their gameplan must overall be moulded around his style too.

      I would want Cazorla in for GW4 (home to Southampton) so (a) definitely. Would also consider moving Nasri to Hazard for a 4pt hit if you have the funds. That will be a strong team (you will need to deal with Zab soon though).

Over last season it managed to get me just into the top 10K which I'm quite happy with. What tips from you top guys here would enable me to get into the the really top ranks? like into 3 figures.

      I think above 10k it takes a whole scoop of luck frankly. Who knows when you'll hit the right captain choices. I'd say nice and steady, pick from the big 4/5 teams where you can, and be quick to pounce on value players who are gods in their team - Walters, Sig last year, Carroll season before etc.

    Tevez, Torres, Hazard, Michu, Barfa
    >
    RVP and 5 unplayable random injured 4.0m defenders + 24 point hit

      No. If you look carefully at next week - everyone's defence will be more or less crap. Start again, and check the ticker.

    Is Gerrard and Graham to Routledge and RVP worth a 4 pointer?

    It's the only way I can afford RVP really and while it still leaves me with Kagawa, I can change him next week to someone like HBA and then look to upgrade Routledge after that.

    My 91 point team this week, no WC used:

    Mignolet
    Rangel Vermaelen Kompany Barnett
    Yaya Puncheon Michu Walters
    RVP Tevez (c)

    Bench: Ruddy, Ivanovic, Pogrebnyak, Taraabt

    Vermalen is a god, I'll keep him all season. Seriously considering jettisoning Kompany though unless City start keeping cleans.

    Need some advice with my team. I am missing Hazard, RVP and Cazorla but have Torres and Kagawa. Pricewise I am still able to afford RVP and Ben Arfa as it makes a total whole price before they rise, worth getting them?

    Vorm Federici
    Vertonghen Baines Hangeland Cuellar Clyne
    Bale Pienaar Kagawa Michu Guthrie
    Torres Tevez Graham

    2.5m bank.
