Having highlighted Gareth Bale and Michu in the top five of our previous article ahead of their recent resurgence, we’re rolling out an updated version covering the last four Gameweeks.

Once again, we focus on those individuals who have offered the greatest goal threat without finding the net, in the hope that their respective displays are a sign of things to come.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          Not if you look at his scoring history. The 'explosiveness' means he can have several weeks of zero or 2, and then suddenly make up all the ground on Mata in one match.

          At any rate, I have resolved to hold and just enjoy owning him, prob for the rest of the season

    If you are pondering transferring Bale in, wait for the injury all clear and do it tonight before he rises.

    He will rise again before the next game, so waiting until after the second leg for the all clear will cost you another 0.2 million.

      Don't make any transfers, at least until after this weekend and preferably after the 2nd legs of the EL.

      Don't be a nutter, if you didn't think he was capable of missing an open goal 5 minutes ago you were deluded. All players are.

      He's had the best goal threat stats all season, and some of the best scores. And you never have to sub him out.

      I would always try to avoid real dead weight, but without having any other data on the player or my squad:

      8 million or more = never.
      6-8 million = gameweek 36
      less than 6 million = gameweek 35
      Less than 5 million = gameweek 33.
