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.

    Maybe cutting it fine but I'm going to guess Ozil won't rise tonight and Walcott will not drop?

    Gives one more day to wait on news of Wally.

    Quick question 🙂

    Confused

    If I have Benteke and i can sell him for 9.2 and buy him for 9.3,

    if he goes down by 0.1 tonight will it be that i can still sell him for 9.2 or will i only get 9.1 for him

    Sorry if that sounds stupid

              Because your buying price is the basis of your profit. For every 0.2 rise from your purchase price you can sell for 0.1 profit. Oppositely, from your purchase price going downward, your sell price will decrease the same as the actual played value (ie. 0.1 each drop).

      For those who got him at 9.0m, the price drop tonight does not affect sale price hence waiting for scan results is the wiser choice. Could also be further injuries in the midweek cup games to deal with before using the precious FT.

          Benteke not sure what to do

          I'll lose the 0.1 on him tonight and want to get Rooney in before he rises. But obviously games haven't been played yet. But if Theo is fit I'll need that likely 0.2 for my planned transfer for GW7.

          I have the FT and if Theo is out I'll sell for Michu (then downgrade RvP or Rooney to fund Barfa to Theo).

    I have heard a few times not that Suarez and Sturridge can play together, but I don't know why anyone thinks at based on last years results. Suarez was far more effective up front and even more so without Sturridge on the pitch.

    Last 5 games, 1 goal 1 assist, both in game v Chelsea (which sturridge didnt play) after he should have been off, blanks against Reading, Saints, WestHam and Villa before that game...

    Not sure what info you are going off, but Suarez was best without Studge in his way.

    His last multiple goal game, hat trick vs Wigan without Studge

    I can't find a single multi goal game where he played with Studge

    Braces against Wigan, QPR, Norwich and Sunderland

    All without Sturridge

    Suarez owners beware, not enough ball to go around, not likely Suarez has multi goal potential barring position and lineup changes.

        Suarez is not as selfish as people think, he is more of a creative player. So, why was he so good as a scorer in the first half of the season, and when Sturridge wasn't in the team? Simple, Liverpool had no one else, so the scoring burden fell squarely on him. When Suarez and Sturridge play together, my view is that Sturridge will more likely get the goals, and Suarez the assist with the odd goal thrown in

          They will share the goals.

          Also If you watch the opening few games sturridge has dropped deep at times which confirms my thinking that him and suarez will interchange positions during games.

    So, is there any room for morals in FPL. I absolutely refuse to get a racist, violent Suarez. Will that bite me in the arse (excuse the pun)?!

      You can get away without having Suarez, but forget about morals otherwise you'd have no players at all.
