With the Monday night Old Trafford clash remaining, we take our regular raid into the members data to pick out some key numbers from the Gameweek so far. This week’s digging reveals not only some of the leading figures from the weekend but also some early key analysis as double Gameweek 36 preparations pick up pace.
Suarez played last game for Liverpool?
The way the ex players have been coming out condeming him it looks like there no way back for him nowOpen Controls
It'll all blow over.
Move along, nothing to see here.
FSG are acutely aware of his value to the club. The PR machine has already cranked into motion.Open Controls
This. I think if Suarez leaves, it will be because he demands it, not because Liverpool want to get rid of him.

Repost:
Hows this for a plan:
Gwk 35: Suarez + Rooney -> Tevez and Aguero/Lukaku/Sturridge for a 4pt hit
Gwk 36: Silva + DDG -> Mata + Hart for a 4pt hit
I will end up with 8 dgwers
Man C: Hart, Tevez, Aguero
Chelsea: Mata
Spurs: Bale
Wigan: Maloney
Swansea: Michu, DaviesOpen Controls
Should I do Suarez -> Tevez now? I’m wielding a WC for GW36 and I know that sometimes the extra 0.1m can make all the difference.
Open Controls
Everyone seams to be doing it.
Open Controls
I guess this is good press for LFC: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/22/sports/soccer/luis-suarez-appears-to-bite-player-in-liverpool-chelsea-match.html?_r=0
Open ControlsGood in the sense that it's The New York Times...
Open Controls
So them writing a rather sarcastic piece saying how he`s probably finished from the club is good press? I still dont follow.
Open ControlsGood press = NYTimes
...Anyway it's only slightly better than this one :http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/07/sports/soccer/liverpools-luis-suarez-draws-as-much-scorn-as-love.htmlOpen Controls
repost from bottom of last page.
can’t decide this. my head is about to explode now. so i throw thgis up for votes.
dgw36 team. pick the 3rd striker please.
hart
vertonghen,rafael,sagna
bale,mata,michu,walcott
RVP,tevez,????
A.kone
B. defoeOpen ControlsLukaku, just to mess with you. 🙂
Open Controlsi think he will be benched vs city. so no point getting a sgw player in.
Open ControlsKone.
Vert and Bale are enough Spurs cover.Open Controlsfair enough. but can kone outscore defoe over the 2 games and wigan hasn't been in much free scoring form whereas spurs have to fight for that CL place and they are scoring a lot of goals. this thought is not letting me decide.
Open ControlsSpurs score a lot, but Bale is scoring most of their goals. You don't know if Defoe will start.
Wigan also has big motive and Kone is their most important player. It's safer. IMOOpen Controls
Kone
Open Controls
some people saying tevez might not play the double? any reason behind this?
Tevez or aguero then? Will aguero play both? Seems to make sense getting one right?Open ControlsTeam at the moment for GW35 (BANK = £1.8m, 1 free transfer):
Begovic(NOR)
Baines(FUL) Johnson(new) Azpilicueta(SWA)
Fellaini(FUL) Mate(SWA) Michu(che) Sissoko(LIV)
Benteke(SUN) Van Persie(ars) Suarez(new)
subs - Bunn, Guthrie, Sagna, Dawson
I can't really get Bale without a hit so which option do you prefer?
A) Fellaini & Suarez > Bale & Tevez
B) Sissoko & Suarez > Bale & Kone
I REALLY want to get rid of Sissoko and would much rather have Fellaini this weekend (he got 2 goals and 15 points away to Fulham earlier this season!) but is Tevez too good to turn down?Open Controls
I had the exact same dilemma. Ended up doing Suarez -> Tevez. Still stuck with Sissoko 🙁 And Can't afford a straight swap with Bale. So I'm looking at Fellaini -> Bale atm
Open ControlsDzeko was awful today, so Tevez should be nailed on vs West Ham.
Open ControlsYeah i agree, he's a good pick and should start this week. It's just that i would really prefer to have Fellaini this week over Sissoko, especially after i saw what Fellaini did to Fulham in the game in London
Open ControlsI know. I would hate to ditch Fellaini, as he could come good again. But I don't think I dare go without Bale.
Open ControlsOh no doubt, now you've done the deed on Suarez > Tevez you have no choice. But there is no way i'll be going without Bale whatever route i pick.
Open Controls
Thing is, Tevez could hurt you if he scores well and you don't have him.
There are still questions over Fellaini too. I'm glad I have him, but a little worried at the same time.Open ControlsThis is true. Tevez is still very well owned and it's only gonna increase over the next week.
tbh i've being just trying to protect my rank for the last month or two and haven't really gone anywhere. Maybe i should just continue to play it safe and get Tevez. Hell i may even bench poxy Sissoko and start Danny Guthrie!Open ControlsNewcastle will be at home, Siss has a chance of getting something surely? A better option than Guthrie at the very least!
Open ControlsI've thought that in his last 2 home game when against 'easier' opposition. The guy is killing me, i just want him out of my starting XI. If i can't sell him i'm gonna have to bench him! And it looks like i'm getting Tevez so i won't be able to sell him!?!
Open ControlsI think Tevez and Siss will outscore Kone and Fellaini though, I guess that's what it comes down to.
Open ControlsThis is precisely what it comes down to.
I was fairly confident you were right but when i saw Fellaini's 15 point haul AWAY to Fulham it did make me think twiceOpen Controls
This. Sissoko could get points, tbf he did get an assist last weekend (wrongly disallowed). Newcastle should be up for it after poor results lately... I hope 😛
Open ControlsWould you start Sagna(MUN) or Dawson(wig) ahead of G.Johnson(new) then next weekend?
Open ControlsThough call. When I'm in doubt and don't see any clear CS options I always choose the player with the most attacking potential. But this one is very close.. Dawson could get a CS, but I think I would go with Johnson.
Open Controls
Cheers for the help boys. You can still get some sense out of this place i see. Must be a coincidence that Mr 24/7 has taken a night off 🙂
Open Controls
I always wonder, would a club like Liverpool not insist that Suarez enter anger management? Both himself and the club have the finances and the facilities to afford it without issue. I just wonder if anything is being done about it apart from disciplinary action, if there is any therapy. I know how he acts is inexcusable and downright filthy, I have 0 respect for it. At the same time, we're dealing with a 26 year old from a home of divorced parents (who divorced when he was young), grew up extremely poor (if I remember correctly he was offered a place in a national football camp when he was a child but couldn't go as he couldn't afford boots) and probably struggled an awful lot as a child.
Yeah he's a wealthy professional now but I can't help thinking that this lad has some deeply routed personality problems and when he does something like this we all turn around, call him a scumbag, wait for his ban to be served and prepare for another incident so we can all have a go at him again.
I'm not defending him, just felt like putting out these thoughts. I've been studying all day, it's probably all nonsense 😀Open ControlsI think youre onto something. Dont think its quite as simple as anger management. Think it would take extensive therapy for him to rid all his demons.
Open ControlsI agree he probably needs real therapy. While I've always thought he was a filthy player I guess I just realise that this is a kid from a very very deprived background and it's difficult to articulate but I guess I just think there is something very wrong about watching someone like this with clear issues act out and for everyone to launch abuse at him until the next time it happens. It doesn't seem to solve anything and he's so talented it'd be a shame not to at least try to fix it.
Open ControlsIm not at all defending his actions. I do however try to understand the reasoning behind it. Might be because im a fan, might be because im a curious human beeing, or it might be because ive had problems of my own (as most people have). Sure, he deserved the hate he gets (atleast some of it), but someone has to try and get to the bottom of it. For his sake. Its pretty clear that he has problems of some sort. Everyone i read thats met Suarez off the pitch has nothing but niceties to say about him. But when he plays football, well we all know how he can behave.
Open Controls
He was the best player by far playing street soccer in an impoverished suburb.
He was also the ugliest.
Can you imagine how hard he battled to come through that? Kicking, biting, spitting.
He's a little scrapper and has become one of the best players in the world.
People need to get over this. He didn't blow anyone up.
Flawed..yes..extremely. Brilliant player...yes.Open Controls😆
Open Controls
Troll why? He came up hard, hes a super footballer its ok to bite people lets face it he didnt blow people up? All Liverpool fans are the same defended Suarez over the racism and now this. He will get his rightful ban but Ivanovic should knocked his front teeth out of his head.
Open ControlsWhich Liverpool fans on this site have been defending him? And the Evra case was racial abuse, not racism. Two different things. He will get the deserved ban, but saying that Ivan should have knocked his teeth out of his head is just stupid. Really stupid.
Open Controls
😆 "He was also the ugliest"
Open Controls
Does that mean he no longer is? Who is ahead of him now? 😉
Open Controls
Flawed - certainly and brilliant player - certainly. I think that banning him is of course fair punishment but while he's out they could at least start some therapy with him too, I reckon it'd be of much greater benefit then leaving him at home every weekend while the media call him a pr**k.
Open ControlsTherapy ..shcmerapy.
The world needs to grow up and kop on. Leave him be. The anger, angst and rawness make him the player that he is.
I don't like pansies playing for the team I love.
hashtagfukkofffernandoyoumoneygrabbingbasstardOpen ControlsHaha, I'm with you Roy. I don't think Suarez's antics are seriously hurting anyone except himself when he goes too far. Unless he has rabies...
Open Controls
Barton as much as I dislike him, and don't want a person likehim associated with my club, got banned for reacting to an elbow. Suarez today did not react to anything, it was basically a form of assault. Also Liverpool carry a burden of blame, their big t shirt and public backing of hi racist action, is not the way to prevent future problems.
Open ControlsSo you didnt see Ivanovic tugging on his shirt. Again not defeding the man or his actions, but i can see why people get pissed off by something like that.
Open ControlsDear God, he is a striker, lets bring in the rule, if your shirt gets tugged have a munch lads, that'll show em! This weekend the weight of a small rhino in flesh would already have been chomped!
Open ControlsWhy are you people insisting on twisting every phucking thing said? I never defended his actions, and i never will. Im simply saying as someone that has played my share of football that if your shirt gets tugged on repeatedly and youre 2-1 down with 5 minutes to go, you might get upset. Not upset enough to bite someone, but i could understand what might have triggered it. Jesus.
Open ControlsWhat tiggered it was the fact he is a vile twat.
Open Controls- Open Controls
In your judgement, based on very little information. Even if I am has nothing to do with the fact that I am correct.
Open ControlsI must repeat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6RG6yxgeFE
Open Controls
Crouch Potato ill have you know it was racial abuse not racist action. The two things are completely different, or so Psychobingo seems to think hahaha.
Open ControlsStop twisting my words, you retarded knob. I said theres a difference between beeing a racist and a racial abuse. Lots of people have made racial slurs in the heat of the moment, that doesnt make them racists. Jesus you are actually completely daft. Get lost, seriously.
Open ControlsNow now it was grown ups talking here a while ago now its such vile language? I said that Liverpool backed him through the racism you came back with nonsense that is was racial abuse. If its racial abuse then its an act of racism. Perhaps you require some education?
Open ControlsNo. You said Liverpool fans. Theres a difference. Its not nonsence. Can you honestly say that youve never made a racial slur or committed a petty crime in your life? Does either of those make you a racist or a criminal? Maybe when you grow up and try to think about something other than beeing obnoxious to random people, youll see things a bit different. I doubt it though as you seem like a lost case.
Open ControlsI haven't, I am very good.
Open ControlsYes Liverpool fans and the club backed him over the while Evra affair did they not? So how is there a difference. Did I call him, Suarez, a racist? No. Check again I did not I said Liverpool fans all the same they backed him over the racism now this. So your whole racist/criminal angle is completely null and void seeing as I didnt call him a racist. For the record I wouldnt be one for petty crime or racist slurs. You want to call me a troll but you cant back up your points and resort to abusive language.
Open ControlsYoure stating that all Liverpool fans backed him, which is far from the truth. And youre atleast implying that hes a racist with your comments, so just stop this. And if you really cant handle beeing referred to as an idiot, then stop beeing one. Thats it, im done talking to you two. Say what you will, ive nothing more to say.
Open Controls
If you are not a racist you don't make racist slurs, its bascially saying I'm only a tiny bit racist, sure thats harmless isn't it. Evra for example by that reasoning ha no right to be offended.
Open ControlsYou really are an idiot. Please refrain from commenting on my posts in the future and i will show you the same respect. Please.
Open ControlsMeanlingless response, what I have posted, without any abuse attached is correct.
Open ControlsAs regards the idiot term, much of my professional life has been spent dealing directly with such issues. Don't know everything but trust me I am far from ignorant on such matters.
Open Controls
Agreed
Some things are non-quantifiable. For example: Racism.Open Controls
whats suarez done now?
Open Controls
Vorm or Lloris?
Open ControlsVorm.
Open Controls
Please help a fella out, poised and ready with my wildcard… any advise on this team??
Hart (Robles)
Luiz, Clichy, Dawson (Sagna, Barnett)
Bale, Mata, Hazard, Fellaini (Maloney)
Tevez, Defoe, Lukaku
Please and Thank You!Open ControlsSo ....
Hart
Vert, Zaba, GJ/Sagna
Michu, Bale, Maloney, Hazard
Defoe, Tevez, Rooney
Can get this team with a -4 this week and a -4 next week.
Any improvements?Open ControlsIt's a class team Trigg. RVP > Rooney but you can't have it all 🙂
Open Controls
Mata, Bale, Dzeko IN 😎
Caz, Siss, Suarez OUT. 🙂Open Controls😯
Open ControlsSeems sensible
Open Controlsalthough Dzeko woefully out of touch
Open Controls
No to Dzeko.
Open Controlsnot enough funds to get Tevez. 🙁
Open ControlsWhy not go for Kone? At least he's nailed on.
Open Controls
or even J.D
Open Controlsdzeko is more fun to own. 😉
I had him earlier this season and doing really good.Open ControlsI did too. Sold him that night when we knew he's not starting against QPR. Been struggling with the 3rd striker since.
Open Controls
OK, this is my WC team
HART (Robles)
VERTHONGEN – KOMPANY – IVANOVIC - Clyne - Martin
BALE – MICHU – MALONEY – MATA - Walcott
TEVEZ – DEFOE - Benteke
Can you rate 1/10 and tell me if you would change something?
Thanks.Open ControlsSorry, LUIZ instead Ivanovic
Open ControlsI'd change nothing. Very good side actually for GW36.
Any plans to get United cover back after the DGW?Open ControlsI will have 2 FT then so I will decide. I can easly downgrade Michu or some of defender to make money for some move.
Thanks for answer.Open ControlsSounds like a good plan then. Can't see you having a bad DGW!
Open ControlsThanks man. I am 30 points short for top 1.000 overall so I hope I will make it.
Good luck to you to get at least in top 5.000.Open ControlsCheers, good luck! I just want to win my ML. Not had the luck to get in the top 5k this year!
Open ControlsI have 80 points lead so I am sure I already won my ML. Now chasing top 1.000 is only to keep me until the end of season....
I wish you a first place too, cheersOpen Controls
Jealous.
Open ControlsWhich ones play twice?
Open ControlsTHIS ONE
Open ControlsCheers 😉
Open ControlsDo you believe you can reach top 1.000???? I am asking because we have similar points now and that is what I want to reach.
Open Controls
basically there's no good substitute for Suarez that i can see?
Open ControlsThere isn't indeed. RVP is only one at that level.
Open Controls
2 pointer for 6.0 is better than a 13M banned player.
Open Controls
if suarez gets a ban, sturidge seems a good option
Open ControlsAh, true. The way he played today, he sure can be good replacement.
Shame he's not consistent.Open Controls
Hi guys.A quick question. Is suarez gonna be banned for 2 games becos he received his 10th yellow card of the season?
Open Controls
No they've stopped counting 10 yellows now.
Open Controls
Feeling punty
DDG, Kebe, Suarez out for
Hart, Sess, Tevez
?Open Controlsamidst all this tevez love, doesn't anybody think that it's better to wait till friday and get aguero if he's fit. if not then you can always get tevez. money hardly matters at this point. makes sense?
Open Controlswill aguero be risked for 2 games in 3 days before a cup final?
Open ControlsI mean they play swansea then w brom in a matter of 3 days
Then it's the cup final. Would mancini risk playing aguero or even tevez in those 2 games?Open ControlsTevez i think should play both. He has better resilience against fatigue it would appear. I would be very surprised if Aguero plays saturday/tuesday and then Sunday. I reckon he`ll start against Swans first time out and then getting rested for the FA cup, if hes fit for all games.
Open Controls
will tevez be risked? what if both tevez and aguero play 1 game each and dzeko plays both. they are not chasing the title anymore.
Open Controls
There's a big price difference between them though, I can't afford Aguero with my plans.
Open Controlswhat if getting aguero doesn't hamper your plans which is the case with me?
Open Controls
santi to mata???yes or no...
Open ControlsI would'nt with Lampard there.
Open ControlsYes.
Open Controls
Just one question more...
Who would like to have more for next 2 gameweeks?
A - Kone (TOT, swa. WBA)
B - Benteke GW35 (SUN) and Walcott GW36 (qpr)
Already have Maloney as Wigan cover.Open ControlsSuarez and Rooney -> Tevez and ??? for a 4pt hit
A) Aguero (will he play both games in dgw and risked for fa cup final???)
B) Lukaku (will he play both games?)
C) Kone (very inconsistent and got maloney)
D) Defoe (likewise very inconsistent however can produce a decent haul)Open ControlsTo those unsure about Tevez, I've just brought him in remembering that City always seem to smash teams when the pressure is off. Nothing to play for might just loosen them up.
If I sound like I'm trying to convince myself more than you, it's because I am.Open ControlsAny news on Jagielka? need him to start this gw.
Open ControlsI will have both this players for GW36 but only one can come in this GW, and i don't have defensive coverage from either of these teams.
Who would you bring in this week?
A) Vertonghen
B) KompanyOpen Controls
guys , is suarez suspended due to 10 yellow cards or what?
Open ControlsDo we consider Dzeko at all folks for the dgw? Seeing the possibility of aguero and/or tevez being rested during the dgw. Offers great value if he starts both.
Open ControlsBut can you be sure he will play GW37 and GW38???? It is to complicate to buy some players just for DGW....you need to keep them till the end IMO
Open Controls
Anyone seriously considering Nasri?
Open ControlsHart, Kompany, Tevez...... So, no place for anybody else....
