A decidedly tepid Gameweek which saw the big guns misfire. Oliver Giroud at last made an impression, Santi Cazorla boosted his reputation, while two of the “template squad” were rejuvenated as Eden Hazard and Michu delivered. Our members can hoover up all the data from the weekend action and, as usual, we’ve picked up the numbers that have caught our eye so far…

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

    ideal situ for the coming weeks.... RVP gets a 3 match ban for the elbow on Cabaye, I draft in Aguero which also allows me to get Berba. RVP drops sufficiently for me to re-purchase at original purchase price.

      Dunno. It's easy to be skeptical because he's never attempted one before.

      If Cazorla did that, we'd be more inclined to believe it.

    defenders this week:

    kolorov – cs + goal + 2 assists
    ivan – goal + assist
    baines – goal
    fonte – 2 goals
    caulker – cs + goal
    evans – cs + goal
    evra – cs + goal

    its also worth noting that the top scoring players of each gameweek have been (in order): ivan, rangel, tevez/rvp, buttner, cashley, suarez, kolorov

    especially with budget strikers performing it could be worth it to load up and play 4 or 5 big defenders at the back. at least for now they are proving much better value. just compare those players to rvp in terms of value! and right now 4 defenders have as many or more points than rvp for half the cost +/- 1mil

      no, just look at the range of defenders involved. buttner will neve be top points scorer again. him and kolarov are huge rotation risks. it's all very well holding out for a large haul, but the likes of Tevez / RVP / Mata / Santi are going to chip in with 6-12 points scorers on a very regular basis.

      defenders... take goals when they come as a bonus, consider CS likelihood, but don't rely on them to generate returns!!

            Not entirely -- could be a shrewd decision; Cazorla has the fixtures coming up, and could easily rise out of his price range come the next gameweek.

        cheers everyone - boy number 2 - really happy and mum and boy doing great.

        Called him Lucas - bet on Mr Podolski scoring but different spelling killed the luck.

        Poor lad will be a Burnley fan too.

    so the idea was to do Suarez>Berba and Barnett/Demel>Vertonghen/Rafael for a 4 point hit. but it leaves me with the front 8 of.

    Michu Santi Barfa Hazard Guthrie
    RVP Berbatov Fletcher

    would you rather upgrade the mid with the extra cash or upgrade the defence ?
