Having assessed the team attacking statistics in the first of a two-part series yesterday, we roll out the next instalment. This time round, we focus on the defensive data available in our members section and analyse the most and least impressive backlines over the last four Gameweeks:

    I feel I have to get Hazard for this GW. My two main rivals have Mata and won't get Haz in.
    I feel like Haz(c) is my big chance.

      I'm starting to think this too. May mean an extra hit next week, but this really is a big chance!

        Exactly. I was planing to save ft and take one hit next week. This way, I will probably take an extra hit, but it's not worth having 10.9 midfielder on the bench for two weeks.

        I'm considering the same.

        Might do the transfer for free next week, then do Lamps or Haz to Fellaini for a hit next week. Otherwise would do Bale to Fellaini next week for free.

        Essentially Bale to Hazard will make me spend 4 extra points next week, and I believe Hazard will score more than 4 points this weekend, plus I might captain him, so will be worthwhile.

        Same situation, just got Hazard in now.

        Plan on benching one of them (or Rafa will do it for me) in GW33, then playing Theo/Santi/Fellaini + 1 of them and 3 strikers who will be all DGW'ers.

      Having to transfer out Bale for a non-DGW player, meaning I can only get 5 without hits, has made me think next week is the time to WC. How is this looking as a 1st draft?

      DDG
      Enrique/Mertesacker/Demel
      Cazorla/Walcott/Fellaini/Sissoko
      RVP/Rooney/Berbatov

      Bench: Al Habsi/Maloney/Dawson/Davies

      This gives me 9 GW33 DGWers, and also gives me 4 in anticipation of GW36. I can then do, say, RVP -> Suarez, Sissoko -> Michu, Cazorla -> Bale, and maybe take a hit somewhere (Walcott -> Hazard) for the next doubles.

      Seem good?

        Not sure I'm crazy about the United doubleup. Maybe lose one of them for Suarez and save the FT, Suarez is playing Reading and is guaranteed to play every minute, could score pretty decent. Looks good!

        I'm thinking of taking a gamble and (c) Mata. I mean he was taken off early last night, and Chelsea have a comfortable lead for the away fixture (which I'll guess he'll use Mata from the bench on Thursday). Di Canio has said he'll be attacking which might leave gaps, ergo a high-scoring game.

        Could be a good match. Thoughts?

        Having to do the exciting transfer of my fifth mid, is there anyone better than Coleman for 4.6m? Townsend perhaps but Coleman has DGW and has looked pretty attacking lately.

          a lot of people here are starting Bunn over DDG, myself included. Worst case scenerio is that he doesn't play and DDG gets subbed on, but Bunn is 90% positive to play imo

        Those with Walcott, are you waiting for late injury news next week before the DGW to make a decision? If he isn't fit for Norwich but should be fine for Everton do you still look elsewhere?

          Am in a similar boat ...holding both Walcott and Bale (and rafael , sturridge

          Cant afford not to be fielding a team this week so will also be doing to with either silva or hazard
