The second instalment in out series of members articles focussing on team statistics takes a look at the defensive side of things. We analyse the last six Gameweeks, checking the key indicators to assess each side in terms of potential defensive returns…
Gents, help please if you can (apols for the rookie type question) . . .
Suarez is about to drop tonight from 10.8m to 10.7.
My resale value currently is 10.3m. Will I lose value tonight if I hold him?
I can't remember how much I bought him for it was in gw12 !Open ControlsSorry to repost, will try to make it more simple this time.
A) Play Wilson or Demel who both might not play
B) Get Dawson or Norwich defender or anyone else(have Harte as well) under 4.6 for -4 and start them.(this move would possibly help me avoid a hit gw 29 as well)
Thanks for any thoughts!Open ControlsB with Dawson. Tottenham defence is improving rapidly.
Plus it's kinda -2, not -4Open Controls
Of the hits you have taken this year, how many have resulted in green arrows?
Only 1 in 6 for me. Obviously hits don't work for me but not sure about everyone elseOpen Controls5 green, 2 red.
Open Controls1/3 for me 😯
Open Controls3 red, 3 greens. I've usually had a pretty big green arrow the week after I take the hit.
Open Controlsthat also depends about ranking....
i have 8 green, 1 red (made -16hit)
but have 8 green because only start in gw5..Open Controls
Good evening. Poor old Arsene 🙁
Open ControlsIt's been a tough week for him. Now I feel bad for taking the p*** after his press conference...
Open Controls
Any injuries to Arsenal tonight?
Open ControlsPride, again, very injury prone!
Open Controls
When Arsenal beat Bayern in 2005...
Arsenal: Lehmann, Lauren, Toure, Senderos, Cole, Ljungberg (Van Persie 80), Flamini (Fabregas 63), Vieira, Reyes (Pires 63), Bergkamp, Henry
Not a bad team. No trophies since then and team has gone steadily backwards. Well done Wenger.Open ControlsThat is his fault for sure that all the big names are being sold and bigger wages not given to them because of club policy.
Open ControlsHe stood by and let the Board do it for 8 years.
Open ControlsThe players he brings in that flop are his fault 100%. But sticking to the club while not getting enough funds is just loyal from him and not his fault at all. Just look at the current side that played- 2-3 players would be in contention of starting games in one of the top clubs. Wilshere, Walcott and Santi. Not much to do with that lot, and if all your signings are punts in the dark for low amounts than you cant expect for much more.
Open Controls
This is an epic team. Lauren & and Senderos are the only weak links.
Open Controls
How many of you are starting your Swans & Pool players?
http://i.imgur.com/39BldFT.pngOpen Controls"Several high-profile journalists in the mixed zone left open-mouthed by Nacho Monreal's better half. And she is a lot better."
Anyone able to find a pic of this gold digger?Open ControlsLooks like that may have been the last time we see Champion's League football at the Emirates for a good few years.
Open ControlsRight as it's top a page I'll give this one last re-post. It's on the UEFA FFS site anyway.
It was fun to do.

Current team for next GW...
Begovic (Bunn)
Demel? Shaw? Zaba Dawson (Davies)
Bale Fellaini Mata Walcott (Michu)
RVP Pog (Suarez)
0.8 ITB (0.4 saved to do Begovic to DDG)
As one can see i am unlikely to field XI, i have used my FT and am willing to take a hit for taking out Suarez. I can afford Aguero or anyone cheaper but not keen or Kun as doubt on his GW29 - so take a crap week and keep Suarez or take -4 for Papiss/Lambert/Benteke who play in GW29?Open ControlsI'm not getting rid of Suarez, only cause I can afford Demel to JEvans. Demel to some Reading defender? Harte?
Open Controls
if all 4 games are blanks in gw 29 it looks like i'll be fielding a 532 unless i decide to sell mata 😯
will be too much value lost if i sell rvp or walcottOpen Controls+1
Open Controls
Am I tripping out or are the rankings messed up on the Champions League Fantasy website? I was 1,356 ranked before the days games and am sitting on 50 points for the MatchDay but apparently I've dropped to almost 28K? There's also some weird totals in some of my leagues.
Open Controlsforget.... i have the same problem.... wait for they fix, or see in history of your team....but i don't believe in that ranking, i'm appear in 221th place, but i cannot drop some much positions, i was in 157th.... i will wait
Open Controls
Hey folks
Here is my team (1 FT):
Begovic
Enrique, Demel, Tomkins, Harte, Davies
Mata, Bale, Walcott, Fellaini, Michu
RVP, Lambert, Suarez
I'm thinking of the following for a -4:
Out: Suarez & Enrique
In: Aguero & Evans
Thoughts please?
Thank youOpen Controlsoooh, Suarez AND Gerrard falling. Time for some transfer action.
Open ControlsI'm never selling Suarez unless he gets banned or injured. He makesLiverpool tick. Sturbridge only scored cos Gerrard felt sorry for him.
Open ControlsNot selling Suarez either. Gerrard on his way tonight. I don't have Walcott atm, so looks like an easy call for me.
Open Controls
Whoops, forgot I had a UCL FF team.
😐Open ControlsBest defender under 4.6 until the end of the season(already have Wilson and Harte)
Open Controlssaylor dawson cueller clyne are your best options imo
Open ControlsNorwich defender not in there? And who would you go for? Dawson is the best IMO but fixtures suck.
Open Controlsi've got dawson cueller and clyne since my winter wc. saylor is an interesting prospect but not sure how newcastle defense will do....
oops sorry forgot about norwich as i've get bunn so haven't had them on my radar...
yeah dawson is the best bet but the fixtures aren't great. cueller then probablyOpen Controls
Cuellar if you don't have Mig.
Open ControlsNorwich def i reckon
CuellarOpen Controls
chelsea only a point ahead of spurs. can you guys see spurs and arsenal qualifying for CL and chelsea missing out?
Open ControlsTW, I've made my decision and getting Lambert in,
question is, do I keep Suarez or Sturridge?Open Controlswho is the best keeper to have for up to 5.8? currently have Ceasar (and keeping Bunn as second keeper)
Open ControlsMignolet.
Open Controls
Keep Michu or Gerrard?
Open ControlsReally? why?
Open Controls
alright lads, how am I looking this week?
bego
dawson cueller clyne
mata, bale (c), walcott, sissoko, marv
rvp giroud
bunn (studge enrique davies)
not too sure about the armband though....Open Controls;P.
who have you got parm? and thoughts on the armband?Open ControlsThe armband will probably end up on RVP for me, if you want to catch up/differential leave it on Bale or switch to Wally.
de Gea.
Clichy, Azpilicueta, Wilson, Pearce.
Mata, Bale, Walcott, Guthrie.
Van Persie, Aguero.
Subs: Bunn; Sturridge, Michu, Davies.Open Controlssitting just below 13k and hoping to break into the top 10k this week or next. rvp (c) then? i'm rather tempted to captain walcott though but not sure as i already have double arsenal. and bale's form of late is quite tempting as well...
i'd say you're better off than me this week tbhOpen Controls
wilshire is officially the most overrated player in the world. a lovely dribbler but aimless passing, too slight and barely a goal threat.he has so little power in those wee little legs of his.
Open ControlsHe's a good player, just that he sucks for Fantasy Footy points.
Open Controlsnot concerned with him for FF tonight tho and il never own him.. theres just so much hype around him. as barca said there 20 wilshire clones at their academy. he is a good player and still young but he needs to bulk up.i just think in any other country he would barely register on the radar of footballers who could one day be stars.
Open Controlsdid you see them game that pep made those comments after? jack controlled that midfield. needs to bulk up a bit? i give up
Open Controls
couldnt disagree more. passes with intent. always creating chances on goal. and has an awfull lot of power in those little legs of his.
Open Controlsstrong tackler/intercepter. reads the game like a book. would walk into pretty much any starting 11 in the world at 21. so not over rated. not at all
Open Controls
I hope for your sake you're a troll. The other option is you know less about football than my dog.
Open ControlsIs it opposite day today? If it is reply no, if it isn't reply no. Please don't say yes, that doesn't make sense.

Open ControlsWill Giroud come back in up front, moving Theo back out wide for AV?
Open Controlsyes.
Pod-Giroud-Theo is my guess.Open ControlsCheers. Now my next question ;
I'm getting rid of Gerrard tonight. I don't have Walcott and you would think he is the obvious replacement. However with the likely blank, do you think I can get away with not having Theo for AV, tot ?Open Controls
Loved the video, only just checked it out now. The Forca and Demba bits were great!
Open Controls
FFS! I only transfered Rooney in yesterday now it says only 75% chance of him playing; is there anything in this?
Open Controlshe is sick.
Open Controlshe had a virus... 75% is good anyway for a United player.. 😉
Open ControlsSturridge had the dreaded 75% and that didn't work out too well for a lot of us. There were a lot of chickens counted and hatched when that teamsheet came out.
