Continuing our round-up of the Christmas period, it’s time to treat our members to a series of articles which examines each of the positions and analyses the form of the key protagonists over the past four Gameweeks. We start in defence, by casting an eye over the top tens for our ICT Index, plus a more in-depth look at the main performers in terms of goal threat and creativity….
i think that is just small enough for you to keep your wc.
Open Controlsa
Open ControlsIf I don't wildcard and take the 8 point hit, I'll have Mata, Luiz, Puncheon, Clyne this week & Jussi, O'Brien & Walcott next week (before transfers)
Open ControlsDon't swap Cazorla, as you'll want him back next week
Open Controls
1. Federici>Turnbull
2. Michu>Hazard
Any of 1 or 2 above for free. Got Mata and BaOpen Controlsthx for the few replies i got last page, but would love some more opinions on this:
would you rather thave
1) ivan and nasty
OR
2) luiz and zab
accordng to RMT, ivan and nasty combo is 0.80 better offOpen ControlsWILDCARD OR NOT????

my defence is crockedOpen ControlsReally?
Open ControlsAnyone else going with four 4m-ish defenders on their WC?
Open Controlsluke shaw.
Open Controlswhat does your front 8 look like if you do?
Open ControlsStill not great, I have a bad team value.
Walcott(Bale) - Mata - Michu - Fellaini - Punch
RVP - Ba(Suarez) - BerbaOpen Controls
I might not have a choice. Got plenty of cheapies atm.
Open Controlsmaybe ,depends on things elsewhere
Clyne, Wilson and Davies for sure, then maybe Gibbs and LuizOpen Controls
Is Wilson expected to be back for the GW24 fixture vs Wigan at home?
Open Controlssouthampton Shaw @ 4.0 mill is interesting but i cant really see Soton keeping cleansheet there well leaky in defence
Open Controlsalthough other cheapies for DGW seem to Turnbull Fonte Lambert Puncheon anymore?
Open Controls
I'm struggling so much with this WC.
Part of my problem is the Liverpool game against Norwich at Anfield.
It could be a rout and I don't want to lose Sterling.
Why did Chelsea win today!!!! 🙁Open ControlsA) Jaask vs Sunderland away
B) Federici vs West Brom home
C) Turnbull vs Stoke away and Southampton home (-4 points)
First to 5 votes!
Cheers 🙂Open ControlsLuiz and Turnbull for Cerny and Johnson for a 4 point hit a no brainier? Other Chelsea player is Mata, no interest in Soton players.
Open ControlsGood Defence???
Shaw Luiz Demel Naughton Sagna
ThanksOpen ControlsOne of those won't be playing soon.
Open Controls
In the end this is how I eventually got Mata:
Downgraded Ba to Lambert, downgraded Fonte to Shorey. Sold Fellaini left me with 10m which got me Mats with 0.1 left over! Thanks for the advice anyway, I didn't feel happy to sell Michu so with a bit of downgrading I felt Fellaini was a more sensible selling choice 🙂
My mids: Bale Noble Punch Michu Mata
My forwards: RVP Suarez and LambertOpen ControlsRMWCT

Anyone with me in benching michu or am i just mad?Open ControlsTwo RVP's.
F*** me!Open ControlsI would take out O'Brien for Demel just in case the aforementioned remains sidelined.
Very much a like for like swap.Open Controlswhat about benching michu this gameweek sensible?
Open ControlsIt won't feel good but many people will feel they have no option for the coming GW. I'm quite tempted to bench Walcott instead though.
Open ControlsIm a afc fan i can see arsenal beating city especially with agu yaya toure out of the match i think arsenal could cause city problems 1-0 and walcott playing strike could cause havoc in the city team
Open Controls
It's a gamble to bench him.
Can understand why you have though.Open Controls
Is anyone else not WC'ing yet or just me? Seems like everyone has been seduced by the chance (not the guarantee) of an extra game.
Open ControlsSeen your comment below, I understand now. Thought you meant the DGW wasn't confirmed (as many were suggesting a few hours ago).
Open Controls
How is it not guaranteed. Im already on WC as I have Olsson going down and Aguero fecked too.
Open ControlsI mean, it's guaranteed that Chelsea and Soton will have two games but not each of their players.
Open Controls
I'm not MJ. I can have 5 or 6 dwg players with a 4 or 8pt hit. I don't see the need to wc now.
Open ControlsI can have 8 or 9 for that
Open Controls
I'm not either
Rafa to Luiz for me
Then Mata to Caz/Cole and maybe Shorey out for meOpen Controls
What do the exclamation marks and hashtags next to someones name do?

West Ham sign Cruzerio striker Wellington Paulisto on loan till end of season
www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8382673/Cruzeiro-striker-Wellington-Paulista-ready-for-loan-move-to-West-HamOpen ControlsNeed some serious opinions
Begovic Mannone
Rafael demel Davies cueller Hughes
Michu fellaini bale Walcott sterling
Rvp Suarez berbs
1) should i use my WC?? I can take a 8 point hit to bring in 3 Dgw players and will also have 3 next week
if iI had to wildcard, from my front 8, I would only be taking out sterling and maybe berbs/fellaini...hence don't wanna waste a WC mainly on defenders..
2) how does Mannone + sterling + Suarez >> Luis + hazard + lambert for a 8 point hit sound?Open ControlsHi
If i mad 2 transfers which cost me 4pts (for the nextgame week) and now i use my wildcard, will i still have 4 pts deducted?Open ControlsTurnbull**
Rafael - Sagna - Clyne**
Bale - Mata**(c) - Michu - Puncheon**
Van Persie - Suarez - Berbatov (vc)
Begovic - Walcott - Nelsen - Davies
That'll do pig, that'll do.Open ControlsThere will be a 2nd game. No WC for me. Got 2 FTs.
Open ControlsBegovic
Clyne Luiz Vertonghen
Mata (c) Puncheon Bale Walcott
Suarez RVP Berbatov
This is my team for the DGW. A -4 but my wildcard is still in check. Will probably take another -4 the week after to bring in another two DGW'ers, then wildcard after to create the best team possible for the season ahead.
That said, to me, Suarez, RVP, Berbatov, Mata, Bale, Walcott and maybe even Luiz are season keepers for me, so not planning radical changes.Open ControlsWho do people think is rising 0.2 this week ?
Already have Suarez, Ba, Walcott..anyone else ?Open ControlsWho would you pick for GW 22-23 only?
A - Bale (qpr, MUN)
B - GW 22 Hazard + GW 23 Cazorla (sto, SOU, che, WHM)
Already have Mata and Walcott.
THANKSOpen ControlsHow funny would it be if Chelsea / Soton was pencilled in for a later date! LOL
Open ControlsWhich one of these transfers for DGW?
1. Federici>Turnbull
2. Michu>Hazard
Got 1FT. Already have Mata and BaOpen ControlsI and many people will have the problem of just wanting the same players back after the DGW fiasco and not being able to afford them on WC due to getting them in at such low prices (Shawcross, Michu, Suarez to name a few). This Chelsea DGW is very overrated IMO.
1) Playing Stoke away so I anticipate very few goals
2) They will smash Soton but Benitez will rotate. I get people say he wont after the QPR disaster, but he will especially with a league cup semi and a game vs a major rival in Arsenal at the weekend.
Best way to go is get Mata and (C) him. That's it.Open ControlsIf your wildcard is active, and you transfer out a player for a profit, if you then bring him back in before the GW starts, do you pay his market price, or do you get the price you originally paid?
Open ControlsWhat do you think?
Open Controls
3rd Jan: Chelsea vs QPR: PL 0-1
5th Jan: Chelsea vs Southampton: FA cup 5-1
9th Jan: Chelsea vs Swansea: C1C
13th Jan: Stoke vs Chelsea: PL
17th Jan: Chelsea vs Southampton: PL
21st Jan: Chelsea vs Arsenal: PL
4 games in 12 days if you count the C1C game
3 games in 8 days for the PL fixtures with Arsenal and Stoke(a) as they key games.
I think there will be some serious rotation for the Southampton game. Key players like Mata could very well get a rest. I wouldn't go crazy over this DGW. It could all end in tears.Open Controls
