Tottenham and Arsenal justify their lofty league positions by supplying us with some eye-catching statistics over the weekend. Michu’s goal threat against Palace, Southampton’s defensive solidity and Chelsea’s attacking midfield trio also come under our analytical eye in this week’s regular sift through the data for members.

    Anyone considering silva for Wally if injured? Or Oscar?

    Wouldn't be able to afford Ozil!

      I already brought Silva in this season. It was a mistake and I don't want to go there again.

      Oscar, Eriksen and Michu are all good alternatives to Walcott.

    Shameless repost, help would be much appreciated.

    I didn't get to catch any of the games this weekend. Had a terrible week for points. None of the following scored me anything above 2. Can someone tell me how they played (i.e. were they just unlucky not to score points or were they anonymous). Cheers.

    Eriksen
    Lampard
    Moses

      Moses played pretty well imo. Direct and had confidence in taking on his man. Had a great opportunity when he evaded a couple of challengers, but then tried to score from a tight angle instead of crossing/pulling the ball back. It was generally a lackluster display from Liverpool though.

      Lamps came off the bench 10 mins before the end.

      Didn't see the Spurs highlights.
