We cast our analytical eye over the weekend’s data after last night’s match at Selhurst Park drew a line under the numbers from Gameweek 8. Plenty of big names impressed – Arsene Wenger’s new playmaker, City’s attacking twosome, a revitalised Belgian’s display at the Bridge and a certain Uruguayan all come under the spotlight…

morning everyone
what's your advice when it comes C decission?
so far this season i couldn't picked worst C and i had 7 out of 8 C fails
getting frustrated
this gw i am looking at Michu,Giroud or Sturridge
i wanna C Michu cause people selling him...Open Controls
I told you last week to captain Sturridge! This week i think Michu is a good shout for captain. Giroud may be fatigued/rested (easy game) and i think Liverpool showed signs of their form coming to an end at Newcastle so im expecting a shock result.
I would go Rooney if you had him but otherwise MIchuOpen Controlsactually i blame you for C fail this gw 😉
you told me to flip a coin beetwen Lukaku and Sturridge and coin said Lukaku 😆Open Controls
Pick the striker or mid who plays the worst defense.
Open ControlsI think Scored has some good advice when it comes to looking at the bookies odds... I have started to make bad captain decisions so need to start following the pack more, my maverick captain punts in the past few weeks have failed miserably... 🙁
Open Controlsand still...they are not as bad as mine C choices
i can even discribe my frustrationOpen ControlsWe have captained the same player for the last 2 weeks, but beyond that, yes you have been really poor/unlucky with your choices...
Open Controlsit's probably ,,unlucky'' cause on papper my C has suposted to be high scoring player
i wonder whn my luck will turn aroundOpen Controls
Pick Giroud.
Open ControlsI would captain Ozil from your team below, then Giroud, then Sturridge. Michu is ballsy but you could easily end up with 2x2 pts
Open Controlsi dont mind 2x2 pts cause my C last time has scored goal in gw2 so i always expecting 2pointers
Open Controls
Always captain a player that has good form. At the moment, Michu doesn't have much of that so he's not even a consideration under me - and I own him... Also I've noticed you tend to captain players just to prove other people wrong which I don't think by the sounds of it has been working too well for you.

Where to use my two FT? Probably want to save 1.
Boruc Davis

£3m in the bank.Open ControlsWilson to Terry
Open ControlsNot a great fixture for Terry this week or next though.
Was also thinking of keeping a decent amount in the bank for a possible Aguero transfer next week.Open ControlsI just think long term with transfers, and would only do it now as Wilson seems the only concern in your team.
Open Controls
how can i improve my team ?
do i need active wc in near future?
Ming
Terry , Koshielny , Walker ( Burner , Chester)
Ozil , Michu , Hazard , Townstand ( Williams )

-4pts hit taken this gw
i find hard to get rid of any Giroud/Sturridge cause i have from gw1
can't stand my team anymore....always looks great on papper but keep falling down in rank
any advice what i should do?Open ControlsIts fine, just get Koscielny out next week, Arsenal don't do clean sheets.
Open ControlsI always think of the Ming dynasty when I read your team... 😀
Open Controlshaha 😀
any advice zep , save FT and be patient sounds about right?Open Controls
Don't give anything away to Zep.
We face Brazil shortly.
🙄Open Controlsit's a friendly dicussion tina , dont worrie about it
also this is not bitch soccer threat
i need all help i can get at this stageOpen Controls😆
Fix your team. At the moment you will be benched again!Open Controlslol
Open Controls
Apart from Michu, Kosc and Migs all those players have averaged a good haul over the past few weeks. So i'm guessing you either get them after their hauls(aka bandwagoning) or you are expecting 70 points a week which wont happen. Getting in Townsend for a hit this week is an example of what you should not do!! Also captain ppl you think will get points no cause "ppl are taking him out" like you said above with michu. West Ham have been gr8 defensively and Michu has not been as prolific as last year(i own him so not a bias or anythin) so dont captain him. Ozil, Giroud playing Crystal palace. Dont overthink rest/rotation and captain the player with form and fixture on their side
Open ControlsWhat were your transfers this week? Ignoring Ramsey, Clyne (both i'm sure you could have gotten this week for Kosc/Eriksen/Arnie) is hurting you too.
Open Controlsdo you know why i get townshat in this gw?
i could gone for any other player as i have almsot 3M in bank...but from what i seen he is great player and will deliver points
aslo so far this season i've been patient as somone could be and didnt jump at single badwagon so far
decided to do something different and try change season around...
good advice anyways , thank keithOpen Controls
Looks really good to be honest, just a question of time before it turns. You say you did -4pts this gw? Who did you transfer?
Open Controlsi did Eiksen and Arnie OUT , Haz and Townshat in
Open Controls
What would you wildcard to? Would look quite similar I would have thought. No more hits this week necessary. Personally over the coming weeks I would look to trade up one of your strikers to either Suarez or Aguero to give you a better captaincy option for most weeks. Too many variables to recommend how you get there but I would downgrade one or more of Ming, Kos or potentially Hazard, Michu to fund it.
Open Controls
Could this be the probable Bayern lineup tonight?
Neuer
Rafinha-----Javi Martinez-----Kirchhoff----Alaba
Lahm----Schweinsteiger
Kroos------------Goetze-----------Ribery
MandzukicOpen ControlsThere is no Muller in there, so no that is not right...
Open Controls
Muller over Goetze(he will come off the bench)
Open Controls
Neil Taylor anyone (if Davies is indeed out)?
Swans defence at 4.4m for 3-4 weeks seems a good option?Open Controls
Yep, he's out for 3-4 weeks. I wouldn't bring a defender in for that length of time personally but if you're planning a wildcard then he's obviously the cheapest way into the Swans' defence. And he could even steal his place back if he really performs. They were rotated about equally at the end of last season when Naylor first came back from his leg-break.
Open ControlsJust pay .6 more and get Vorm
It's not like we are short of cheap optionsOpen Controls
You qualify for the biatch team.

Not sure if this is new news or old news. Davies had a scan and is confirmed out for 3-4 weeks

i gived up on winning fpl this year and changed goal to top 500

I think you might be the only person with a worse (c) record than me this year.
70 points total from captain out of 464 total points = 15.1%.
You?Open Controlsdont wanna even calculate my C total cause that will ruin my morning
but you can be sure, i am doing worse than you so chin upOpen Controls
Should have stuck with Soldado....
Open ControlsTwisting the knife 😀
Open Controls
Down to these 2 options I think:
a) Save transfer (and get Aguero(c) for NOR next week)
b) Nolan -> Hazard (and bench Ravel. Means no Aguero next week)
Boruc
Baines, Toure, Clyne
Michu, Ramsey, Mirallas, Ravel

There's 6/7 players in there that most people would want in a WC
Open ControlsThanks for the replies. Eriksen -> Silva is next weeks FT.
Just tired of having this team and chopping and changing a player per week and still getting red arrows.
Chesney is particularly annoying in dropping CS's.Open ControlsDidn't see Chesney. Not many chances of CSs in the coming fixtures
Get VormOpen Controls
u need not use the WC this week......
your defense is probably what everyone's looking for this week [though i doubt vidic and toure will do any good; Lovren has had a nice run of CS- how more does he want really ]
mid and attack is good to... at least chelsea/ city coverage isn't a must for this week [may not be true]
Surprisingly, the goalkeeper which i can't like at all, should finally have a clean sheet...Open ControlsI noticed you in the spreadshit....
Open ControlsLet him waste his WC.

Hi guys, I'm looking at bringing hazard in this week, I have cash in the bank so can swap him for Moses or Eriksen.
Initial thoughts are Moses as he has been poor the last few weeks. Eriksen was rested after WC games and holtby brought in fresh - I fully expect Eriksen to start against Hull as he is the one most likely to find a chink in a heavily manned defence.
So...Moses to Hazard a good idea?Open ControlsLeave the transfer til next week and then chop them both
