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.

    So disappointed with Liverpool today. Borini had a bit of a no show in such a big game. Arsenal were excellent, totally bossed us. Sad times 🙁

        I don't... unless he decides to leave. I think all this enlightens on our views of managers. Many have slagged Arsene over the years for not signing new players. It's not in the managers' hands any more, as I have said on numerous times. Hey ho.

      I wouldn't say we bossed you. Allen and Sterling were very impressive. Your biggest problem is your bench, no game changers on there. Borini also looks pretty average. I don't see what he offers.

      I really like the idea of the fluid middle three and fluid front three. But they all (those 6) seem a little small and a litltle tippy-tappy, there's no real presence in there apart from Stve G and I think he could be on the wane.
      Shelvey looked half decent, but half decent ain't good enough for a top 4 if that's what they're looking for.

    Petric out for RVP
    Lescott out for ____________ ??? Swansea's Davies at 4.0m

    I have 9.5 for cheap def and mid.

    Other option would be to keep Lescott and downgrade DeGea for a 4.5m keeper

    Brad Guzan could be good 4.5 keeper if he nails a place down, Given is a shadow of his former self now.

        I just try and pick a team that I think can win a game, that's all I can do," Lambert told Sky Sports.

        "Shay is a brilliant goalkeeper, there are no two ways about it, and we had a chat the other day.

        "I just thought it was the right decision for the football club."

            He had a shocker against Everton and watching ow bad he was in the Euros was a sad sight to see.

      May as well take Lowton (or Clark) as a nailed on 4m defender.

      Yeah I'd downgrade Torres to Fletcher or Lambert to free up some funds. Also Routledge might lose his place, maybe Pieenaar. Then the rest for Stirling to Nolan (who's going up to 6.1 tmw)

      Jenk due to be replaced in the coming weeks by sagna sterling all style no substance but still early in the season i think he has a few assists in him though

      I never had him, but i assume people are trying to raise funds for Hazard, Cazorla and RVP. There are great options with Barfa, Pienaar and Johnson as well.

    GK: Vorm, Schwarzer
    DEF: a Williams, vidic, cuellar, zab, Saylor
    MID: bale,michu, Hazard, Kac , pienaar
    ATT: tevez, petric, Ade
    0.5 in bank

    1)kac>Maloney
    2)petric>any striker at 6.6 or below
    3)vidic>Baines/verm
    4)Zab>jags

    Thoughts???
