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….
Is azpilicueta nailed on? Thinking of McCauley > azpilicueta and Snodgrass > Felliani
Would give me this, which covers 3 doublers for 23 and two for 24 before I WC and bring Bale back in for Walcott?
2.5 in bank and 2 FT
Bego
azpilicueta Cuellar Gibbs
Mata Michu Felliani Walcott
RVP Berba Suarez
Ruddy puncheon Cameron NelsenOpen ControlsA bit stumped with all this DGW malarkey
Any suggestions on this lot? I have 2 FT and 0.3 to play with. Cheers!
Jaaskelainen
Baines / O’Brien [?] / Cuellar [?]
Bale / Puncheon / Michu / Walcott / Mata
Van Persie / Berbatov
Begovic / Hernandez / Hughes / Nelsen
PS Anyone reckon Hernandez will start vs liv? I don’t like leaving him on the bench. May have to bench Walcott instead but that sounds just as bad.Open Controlshi all hows this look for WC
Guzan Turnbull
Luiz Vidic Dawson Cameron Mariappa
Michu Bale Fell Mata Cole
RVP Suarez Ruiz
.1 in bankOpen ControlsNot keen on the Vidic punt gets rotated nowadays too much for my liking
Open Controlscould downgrade to rafeal and spend the spare cash elsewhere, could also downgrade to o brien, downgrade cole to guthrie and upgrade ruiz to Ba
Open ControlsSounds good to me I have Guthrie and Ba as well with that mid you only need a cheap bench filler as you will play them pretty much week in week out
Open Controls
Sorry to repost but who will score more in the next two GWs
Benteke
or
BerbatovOpen ControlsWell, I guess if they score something it'll be in this GW. Hardly anything in the next.
Berba.Open Controls
Not getting all the "BA" love now that he's at Chelsea. I get the DGW but what then ?
Open Controlsyou can always ship him out straight afterwards.
Open Controls
So whats the stories with the DGW's coming up? Do Chelsea have one aswell? The fixtures don't seem to have updated on FPL if there is one.
Thanks 😀Open Controls2-3 weeks
Open Controls
What do you think Mata's price will be by the end of GW23?
He's 9.9 now, and already went 0.1 up this GW.Open ControlsI'd punt at 10.2
Open Controls
Good morning all. Any views on this for DGW22
Turnbull (Beg)
Clyne, Naughton, Azpi (sagna, Demel)
Mata (c), bale, fellaini, Punch (Walcott)
RVP, Suarez, Lambert.
Plan to bang in possibly J cole and Chamahk/C cole for Punch and Lambert for DGW23.
Worried with Walcott on the bench!!
Also is naughton starting to fill tots left back pos?? And is Clyne fit again?
Thanks folks.Open ControlsBest option?
A) Clark, O'Brien (4.5m or below if not fit) & Ba
B) Luiz, 3.8m & Berba
C) Azp, O'Brien (4.7m or below if not fit) & Berba
Szczesny, Turnbull
Baines, Martin, Demel, XXX, XXX
Bale, Mata, Walcott, Fellaini, Noble
RVP, Lambert, XXXOpen ControlsB and stick in Harte for 3.8. will be a good sub for the price for his free kicks
Open Controls
Anyone thinking of cashing in on Begovic ? And going with Chesney or Turnbull ?
Open ControlsTHOUGHTS ON TORRES:
his confidence is low apparently so i doubt he will be benched while Ba plays. that aint exactly going to improve his confidence.
he will play easy home games to improve his confidence. BA for the tough away days at the likes of stokeOpen ControlsWho says his confidence is low?
He looks like he's recovered form recently and is doing good. Please explain.Open Controlsbefore he started regaining it, it was mentioned torres confidence is low.
so im just saying he wont be benched non stop as it would ruin his low confidenceOpen ControlsSo.... he's regaining his confidence so it isn't low now?
Sorry to be pedantic but...
... he's a world class striker that has gone through a rough time. I expect Ba to make him better and he will shine. Just mho!Open Controls"he’s a world class striker"...evidence please

If you have a quick peak at the stats since they came back from the World Club Championship and Luiz has been playing in midfield, you'll see that, assuming they both start both games, Luiz is a better pick than Ivanovic.
Hope you all aggree 🙂Open ControlsYou going with Turnbull, Luiz & Mata Jonah? Ba is really tempting me even though he comes with a a rotation risk. At home to SOT without their main CB could be a cricket score.
Open Controlsit could be a cricket score but torres may be the top batsman 🙂
Open ControlsYes, those will be my three.
As I mentioned before, it's a good way to have the three players, get a good captain, and not bugger up your team for the future.
The midfielder may be Hazard, Lampard or Mata, it just depends what happens in their league cup game mid-week.Open Controlsim going for turnbull azpi and mata (c).
BA is a luxury that might not pay off and ruins your team long term.Open ControlsRVP, Berba & Lambert up front, or are you sticking with Suarez through his tough fixtures?
I'm thinking of going with Berba and getting Baines in with the extra cash.Open ControlsWow, we are thinking alike at the moment!
Suarez is the big gun to sacrifice at the moment for me, he has bad fixtures, and freeing up the cash lets me get Baines and Fellaini as well as my double gameweekers.
I'm looking at Vaz Te or Podolski for the replacement, definitely to be subbed out again for Suarez's next burst of home fixtures.Open ControlsSame, he's been a beast but I just can't see him scoring that well over the next 4 (will be watching NOR through my fingers though...)
Going with Baines & Fellaini also. So you're losing Lambert then? I was thinking of bringing him in as my only SOT cover....
Great rank btw - keep up the good work!Open ControlsWhy don't I just say the team I thinking of:
Turnbull, Scesney
Demel, Clyne/Shaw, Kilgallon, Luiz, Baines
Fellaini, Mata, Michu, Puncheon, Walcott
Lambert, RVP, Podolski.
Then bring in Nolan for somebody for the next week.Open ControlsHaha, very similar to mine!
No Bale this week or option for Santi next week are the main differences...Open Controls
If you had to choose between these 2 , who would you go for :
a)azpilicueta
b)AcoleOpen ControlsWho is more likely to play both games in the DGW? Ivanovic or Luiz?
Open Controlsi have a big problem to bench one of this
Poncheon,Santi,Suarez,Jelavic
i might forget dgw and bench Ponchy after all 🙁
any advice?Open ControlsA) Azpil and Suarez
B) Gibbs and Ba (with enough in the bank to get Suarez back for NOR)
I'll also have Turnbull and Mata.
What do we reckon?Open ControlsProbably, yep. Bit worried about Azpil if Terry comes back durning the DGW, though.
Open Controls
My current team before transfers is set up pretty well for the DGW's
Begovic, Foster
LUIZ, SAGNA, O'BRIEN, Nelsen, Mariappa
MATA, WALCOTT, Bale, Michu, PUNCHEON
RVP, Berbatov, Hernandez
£3.2m in the bank
My intention had been to do Puncheon > Fellaini this week, but him having a DGW is making me second guess.
I can afford Hernandez > Ba.
Probably makes more sense to take the "risk" on that transfer?Open ControlsI went to see Everton april 2009 vs Wigan at home Fellaini scored two think Saha got two also he might well be up for a repeat sack Puncheon lad.
Open ControlsYou'll get (hopefully) 4 games instead of 2, got to be Chico to Ba.
Open Controls
Is 3 DGWers (Turnbull, Mata, Punch) for next week and 4 DGWers (Walcott, Gibbs, Santi, Demel) for the week after enough? Looks like people are going to be able to put out loads.
Open ControlsI think it would be. But I would do Silva to Hazard for a hit along with Turnbull. I've said it plenty times before, but someone said it to me and it changed my perspective of the hit: "Think of it as a 2 point hit with potential".
Then Santi for Hazard the following week for free.
Wouldn't take Nastasic or Johnson out for Gibbs for a hit.Open Controls
Ok looking for a bit of feedback guys...my proposed wildcard team is as follows.
Jaask Turnbull
Luiz Harte Fonte Demel Davies
Fellaini Mata Michu Walcott Bale
RVP Suarez POG.
Had posted one previously with Lambert in attack and no Luiz but reading the big numbers article has me thinking I need Luiz more than Lambert if it wasnt for the dgw i wouldnt touch him with a barge pole and having him means benching one of my midfielders which im pained to do. Ive no second wc its already played so thinking Luiz > Sagna week after eventually changing POG to Ruiz as better cover.
What say ye?Open ControlsAny chance that Suarez rises before Berba or Lambert?
Open ControlsNot Berbs.
Open Controls
Would it be stupid putting Marc Wilson in my WC team now, and hope that he's back in the next 2 weeks or so?
Open ControlsMight be rotated in. You'll want Stoke def for gw24 (WIG), what are the chances he'll be match fit for that?
Open Controls
Is clyne crocked for GW21? Any reports???
Open Controlsthoughs about Moses?
i got 2 options
A) Silva ➡ hazard (only have Mata)
B) Silva :arrow Moses and Jelavic ➡ Ba for a 4pts hitOpen Controlsoh damn,here it goes my cheap diferential 🙁
Hazard it isOpen Controls
