With Gameweek 3 now behind us, itโs time scour the statistics once again as we highlight the stars from last weekendโs round of matches. As many Fantasy managers are mulling over wildcards, we also incorporate some overall numbers from the season so far for your perusal and consideration.
I pushed the wildcard button tonight. ๐ฏ
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?Open ControlsId get giroud. Scrap soldado keep money itb and swap if he begins to show good stats
Open Controls+2
Open Controls
Haha that is so close to my WC team its ridiculous
Open ControlsSame back 7 as mine so I like it
Open ControlsI 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.Open Controls
Shouldn't you be filling your wildcard team with price rising players only right now?
Open ControlsWhat you mean, getting them risers in and then shipping them out if you think they are gonna rise 0.2 before GW4?

Thoughts on this?
Coutinho + Lambert -> Lampard + Sturridge (-4)Open ControlsI 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!Open ControlsDo you think Cout could still play centrally with sturridge and suarez on the pitch though?
Open ControlsYes 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.Open Controls
Who has walcott and giroud and feels like their team just gained a shedloads of future points?
Open ControlsRight here
Open ControlsI 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.
Open Controlsme as well- now trying to figure out if Ozil should go in !
Open Controls
How many GOOD strikers are still available? Anyone who Arsenal can realistically sign?
Open ControlsFellani has signed for utd according to rumors
Open ControlsWho's Chelsea getting now that Lukaku is gone? Rooney?
Open ControlsLIVERPOOL. Club waiting to agree deal with Villa for Shay Given."He will be number 3 and give us cover"'
A late one. Bank on it.
4.0 and at Pool, getting him in with Migs
#rotationandinjuryproofOpen ControlsHas ozil officially signed yet? Was away for a bit.
Open ControlsDONE DEAL: Arsenal confirm £42.5m signing of Mesut Ozil

Repost, due to now answer..
Mignolet (Boruc)

Snodgrass - Mirallas - Silva - Coutinho (Kim)
Lambert - Sturridge - Soldado
3m in bank
A) Lambert -> Benteke
B) Silva -> Brady, Lambert -> RVP (-4 hit)
C) Better solution?Open Controlsanyone in the states have dish network, and if so what happened to fox soccer channel? now its FXX.
Open ControlsI'm on Charter and FSC was taken out of the channel lineup. The same thing probably happened on Dish.
The PL games are all on NBC Sports anyway.Open Controlsyeah, nbc doing a great job but cant find any transfer news on tv. cheers.
Open Controls
never mind, apparently this happened today.
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]Open Controls
Fellaini why oh why moyes... don't get it

Assou-Ekotto joins QPR, not sure if it is loan or permanent.
Open ControlsBit 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. ThanksOpen ControlsCheers for the feedback and kind comments ๐

Is McArther really 12M worth of player? Or that just deadline day interest rate?
Open ControlsIt really is ridiculous that these clubs (i.e. multimillion pound businesses) leave their shit until last minute like some panic-cramming school pupils. Get a grip!
Open ControlsWell 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
Open ControlsManagers / Owners acting like panic-cramming school pupils being reported by reporters with annoying bast*rd school pupils behind them. Good TV
