Last weekend saw Mesut Ozil serve up another devastating display as Arsenal made light work of Norwich at the Emirates. Having delivered back-to-back blanks in the previous two Gameweeks, the German’s brace against the Canaries took his tally to two goals and four assists in five appearances since arriving from Real Madrid this summer:

Later in the day, another playmaker racked up the points as City registered their first away win of the season at West Ham. David Silva’s display against the Hammers continued the form under Manuel Pellegrini that has now harvested two goals and three assists in five league games this term. Whilst Ozil has climbed to 10.7 in FPL, Silva has now dropped to 9.3 and with ownership levels of 31% and 5% respectively, the Gunners man has clearly been the most popular in spite of his loftier price tag.

With 20 and 18 strikes respectively, City and Arsenal lead the way for goals scored so far and with Ozil and Silva both instrumental in unlocking opposition backlines, in this latest article for members, we take a look at their impact:

    Stoke defensive analysis

    I’m confused as to why nobody is talking about a stoke defender, they are historically very solid in defense and under Mark Hughes they look as boring as ever 🙂

    2012/2013 season first 8 games 3 clean sheets
    - 9 Goals conceded
    - Average possession 43%
    - Pass accuracy 70%
    - Tackles made 133.
    - Yellow cards 18, one red
    - 285 clearances

    2013/2014 first 8 games
    - 3 clean sheets
    - 7 goals conceded
    - Average possession 51%
    - Pass accuracy 79%
    - 133 tackles made
    - 13 yellow cards, 0 reds
    - 217 clearances

    Am I missing something here? Stoke if anything have become more disciplined in defense and have held onto the ball better at the start of this season. They have conceded fewer goals and even kept a cleanie against City so far. The thing I like with Stoke is they can keep a clean sheet against anyone at home, I can’t say the same for Swansea, West brom, Sunderland etc.

    Their run of fixtures isn’t great but I faith more faith in a fully fit Stoke backline compared to a Swansea backline without Williams and Davies. Pieter’s and Cameron should be given a look at being the same price as Chico I feel. Thoughts?

      Good post.

      I like playing Begovic as the last line of defense in a fairly solid defensive team.
      Made a clutch of great saves last game (9 points) and I don't care about fixtures with him.

      Like Hughes too and wish him great success.

        Different teams, different fixtures. Silva being injured for some of the tough games like United and Stoke away. Swings it in Silva's favor I feel. Haven't read the article but if Silva is said to be the better pick, this could be why.

          Seems sort of a waste of a FT, especially as you are trying to figure out Man City attacker / Chelsea defender next week. Not worth the FT. Aston Villa away is arguably as good a fixture as Hull at home, to be honest.

            in that case I'll just take your thoughts on the idea below, basically it's

            Lukaku and Silva

            or

    Christian Eriksen starting in what looks to be a 'sub' team with the likes of Defoe, Lamella and Sandro. This does not necessarily mean Eriksen won't start at the weekend but it surely gives an idea of his standing in the team at the moment, with Holtby offering a convincing performance at Aston Villa last Sunday its not unfair to be sceptical about Eriksens fantasy league potential especially at 8.1m and falling. Eriksen dubbed as the 'assister of the assister' looks likely to either play around 70mins at Hull in a best case situation or come on as a sub for the last 10. As an Eriksen owner I think his departure from my team this week is paramount.
