The Numbers Game – Festive Form – Midfielders

Continuing our members articles which examine the numbers behind the previous four Gameweeks, we now switch our attention to the midfield area. With a packed festive programme providing hat-tricks for Santi Cazorla, Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott, it was a period which again saw the heavy-hitting midfielder come to the fore. Incredibly, however, that trio were surpassed by the performances of a player who has rolled back the years to recapture a level of returns and consistency that we perhaps thought were behind him.

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

    The Terry & Cech chat is giving me slightly cold feet with my 4 x Chelsea WC. Team:

    Tacobell
    Asspiss – Gibbs – Demel
    Mata (c) – Bale – Walcott – Punchy
    RVP (vc) – Ba – Berbs

    Begofish – Michu – Davies – Fonte*

    My worries are Tacobell, Asspiss and Fonte. Everything else is fine. Happy to consider moving to 3 x Chelsea if I can sort Fonte and Asspiss (biggest concern from the Che def, bar Cahill, I think).

        Maybe Cazorla and/or Noble in for next week's double.

        Or Saurez in for Ba depending on how he goes in the next three (Swa, Sto, Sot)

        make sense?

        Point taken. Just feels like everyone goes Fellaini but he's got his own issues and isn't a lock to produce back half of the season. I just have a gut feeling that Everton may fade and Sunderland may climb further up the table with Sessegnon rounding into form.

          If they do then its a winning strategy, and if you're behind it could be a worthwhile gamble. If you;re on top in your leagues then I'd personally stick with Fellaini, who's form vs pitch time is great and is much cheaper than similar options. One thing about Moyes is he keeps his players working till the end of the season.
