The Numbers Game – The Minute Men

In one of our most intriguing Members articles so far, I decided to investigate how players faired on a per minute basis when it comes to some of the vital statistics available in our Opta tables. Taking a look at Influence, Passing and Goal Threat, I investigate those players who recorded the most touches, passes, key passes, crosses and shots per minute in the Premier League so far.

The findings turned up several surprising statistics, with some major food for thought available to those considering a “route to recruit” for Cesc Fabregas this week.

      I agree....do you have malouda or an expensive def for example. The rooney news has meant Berbs is staying put in my team for a while.

  I don't understand getting rid of either, they're in the best form they've shown, and Fabs is against one of the PL's best defences. Find another way imo even if it's a 4pt hit next week.

  Jesus.
  I hate the transfer window for exactly this kind of situation.
  How are the press going to spin out 10 weeks of Rooney stories until January?
  It's getting tedious already.

I'm thinking about doubling up on manc's defense? madness or genius? and who to put in? toure and Kolarov?

  On balance, madness.
  
  Kolorov is a great shout once fit, but I wouldn't double up on any defence, let alone spend 12m doing so.

  If doubling up on defence it may as well be good defence. There's nothing worse than playing against someone with 2 or 3 from the same team.

Hi guys.

I have a choice between:

a) Bosingwa + Adam

b) 4.8m def + Arteta/Silva

What are the thoughts on Silva?

    Who would be a good shout for an under 4.8 defender? I've already got Coleman, Elmo, Williamson and Alcaraz.

  Wouldn't touch Silva.

Ferguson or Carroll?

Decent shout for 3-6 points or Carroll who could get more?

Anyone keeping an eye on Javier Hernandez given the Rooney saga? I think the 'little pea' will turn out to be a fantastic player for us, given time and proper nurturing. His goalscoring record is fantastic, he was named the fastest player at the World Cup, is two footed and good in the air for his height.

  two footed is a pretty usefull attribute for a footballer.

    Argentina had a player with one arm in the 1930 World Cup Final, so the average number of legs per player in World Cup Finals is higher than the average number of arms.
    
    Ergo, legs are more important than arms.

Berba has 2 home games after Stoker, Tevez 2 away.

Or is my prioroty getting a defender thatn starts as Samba is going to miss the next 3 in order to cvoer any potential injuries/ Bans over the next few weeks?

Any tips?

Robinson
Toure, Samba, Cole, Shawcross
Nani, Malouda, vDV, Petrov
Bent, Tevez

Subs: Gomes, Dawson, De Jong, Carroll

0.3 in the bank, haven’t used this weeks transfer or my wildcard yet.

  Seriously short in defence!
  
  Toure and Dawson injured.
  Samba suspended.
  Shawcross playing Utd.
  
  If you use a transfer this week it should be Dawson out.
  Toure should be back next week so maybe look to change De Jong then.

    Dawson out for maybe Coleman? Even though i'm a Spurs fan and hate to pick players that might score points against us 🙁
    
    Then should i use my wilcard to get rid of De Jong? And who for?

      Dawson to Coleman sounds good.
      
      De Jong won't get you many points. If you do the Coleman move you'll have some cash to upgrade De Jong to someone like Brunt, N'Zogbia or Adam.
      
      If you want to wildcard, have a plan and do it early in the week to capitalise on price rises/falls. No point wildcarding if you only want to change 2 or 3 players.
      
      PS - I think Samba is back next week as well.

        Wait. Wildcard allows you to trade more than 1 player? Didn't know that, thought it was just a free extra transfer. Awesome. Not sure whether to use it now.
        
        Robinson
        Coleman, Cole, Shawcross
        Nani, Malouda, vDV, Petrov
        Bent, Tevez, Carroll
        
        As my line up then? With Malouda as captain? My team looks a lot weaker to previous gameweeks but like you said, i should use my wildcard at the beginning of a week.
