    I pushed the wildcard button tonight. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

    Didnt absolutely need to use it, but hopefully I can push on even more now. It could work out either way. But I play this game first and foremost for fun. Just waiting to see what happens with Lukaku and Ba tonight, if they move elsewhere then it will be one of them in for Soldado and then upgrading a midfielder.

    Wildcard team is currently -

    Mignolet - McGregor
    Terry - Coleman - Zabaleta - Collins - Vidic
    Walcott - Lampard - Ben Arfa - Brady - Whittingham
    Benteke - Soldado - Sturridge

    What you think?

        I can alternate to whatever.

        Its by no means final because I may upgrade Whittingham and/or Brady if I downgrade Soldado before the next gameweek begins.

        But I can play any variation of formation depending on fixtures.

        4-3-3
        4-4-2

        Whatever looks best for a gameweek.

      I think its sensible. Will wait and see what Coutinho does centrally with Moses coming in. He seems more effective goalscoring and assisting in central areas of the pitch. I had him in my team before the WC. But it could change before the next set of games begin. I might put him back in.

      But those transfers look fine to me mate. But just be prepared to be let down from time to time, as both Coutinho and Lambert will score well. If you think Lampard and Sturridge will score more points.

      Then thats what its all about!

          Yes he will. Rodgers wants Coutinho central behind the front 3. Thats where he is most effective. Thats why he was looking for a left sided player in the front 3 all summer.

          First he wanted Mkhitaryan for the central position. But when it fell apart, he switched his attention to putting Coutinho inside and buying a left sided player.

      I have both - with Arsenal unlikely to get a striker, Giroud's place is cemented as a season keeper for me. Ozil will inevitably bag some goals but that may free up Walcott to play behind Giroud. Looking good.

      Due to Fox consolidating its cable sports rights on the new general-interest channels Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2, and following the loss of U.S. television rights to broadcast Premier League soccer events to NBC,[1] Fox Soccer was replaced on September 2, 2013 by FXX, an entertainment sister network to FX.[2] The vast majority of the remaining sports programming from Fox Soccer has been moved to FS1 and FS2, which launched on August 17, 2013.[3] Fox Soccer Plus, a spinoff channel which launched in 2010, will also continue to operate.[4]

    Bit late to comment on the article and I have to pick on one confusing aspect of referring to the mins per stats as "up" when they are actually improving. It just makes it harder to read when I see that Michu's mins per chance created are up by 95% as I have to stop and work out if this is good or bad. If a statistic like minutes per attempt increases this is not good but up is more ambiguous. Is the performance up or is the statistic up? If we can find less ambiguous terms like improve/worsened, then I will be a happier man.

    As a send of, thank you for this article. My foibles aside, it is great to read these key stats and I appreciate the effort that goes into putting them together. Thanks

      Well if you have ever negotiated anything you would know why that is so. Teams asking prices often drop once they see that a team is not desperate and they actually would like to sell. Most of the time it is everybody with pokerfaces as you know players dont have fixed prices, everything has to be negotiated

      7.0/7.5 perhaps

      Not a prolific goal scorer or assister.

      Not worth buying, central midfield like Carrick.

    Shane Long joining Hull is a strange one for me. Surprised West Brom are letting him go, good move for Hull.
