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.

    a) Shaw + Oscar + Lukaku

    b) Clyne + Paulinho + Sturridge

    are both soton defs nailed? is oscar worth 1.3m more than paulinho (when, for instance, that money can be spent on lukaku -> sturridge)

      Oscar really isnt worth the money which can be spent on Sturridge but you really shouldnt buy Paulinho

      Word is that oscar is mourihno's favourite for the No 10 role so he is a much better prospect than Paulinho because spurs are not converting their chances atm.

      Both soton's defenders are first choice.

      I would go with a) because I feel Sturridge is overdue an injury and suarez will outscore him - sturridge has been scoring 1 goal/game but suarez has a better chance of added assists and brace/hat-tricks.

      Lukaku will score well if he gets the gametime - I think he will as none of the other everton strikers are on form.

      Walcott is a worry if you transfer him out he can come good at anytime. But Roon and Oscar are better than Soldado and lampard. Not sure who this rambo is as it must be a midfielder judging from your transfers.

        I haven't seen him play yet, so I don't know what kind of potential he has. But Spurs are quite a mess right now.

        Perhaps I'll just stick with him and save the 4 points. I don't think Moses will justify the hit, anyway.

        Thanks for the response!

          I feel like you should wait a week to get him in, though. He's playing Arsenal next and probably won't make the score sheet. You just have to compensate for his inevitable price rise.

    this Wally situation is giving me a big headache 😐

    if he confirmed out for a while, I'd need to take another hit (on -4pts already), play Kim and sell him later for less value, or just WC, which I'd rather like to do tonight before some potential double risers will actually become more expensive.. 😐

    Hey folks

    I have 2FT and thinking of taking a hit to do:

    Out: Benteke, Soldado, Lampard
    In: Giroud, Lukaku, Michu

    Or shall I just keep Soldado for now?

    Mignolet, Given

    Vidic, Coleman, Turner, Turner, Chester

    Walcott, Lampard, HBA, Whittingham, Brady

    Benteke, RVP, Soldado

    What do you think of my proposed moves?

    Thank you
