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.

    Bit of a quandary here - considering upcoming fixtures, can't decide who's better between:

    A) Cazorla (SOU, mci, CHE)
    B) Ben Arfa (eve, NOR, rdg

    Thoughts?

    Right my WC defence is shaping up like this:

    I had Rafael, hoping for a double rise but will not get that an Utd defence looks suspect so looking for a downgrade. (Want Cazorla over Kagawa)

    What to do?

    1 - Koscielny - play Kos every week with Ivan and rotate SUN/WHU/SOT
    2 - Davies/Williams (SWA) - Get Gunter and rotate SWA/RDG + WHU/SUN with Ivan as a constant
    3 - Any other suggestions?
