Liverpool and United’s strike pairings come under the microscope as the weekend numbers are crunched. We also look at the penalty box menace of City’s main forward, the Gunners new playmaker both at home and on the road, and highlight the potential on offer from a certain Canary and Magpie over the weekend and season so far:

    Hey guys,

    My team is:

    Boruc Foster
    Zabaleta Terry Burner (Ward Chester)
    Silva Michu Janu Ramsey (Barkley)
    Suarez Rooney Giroud 0.7

    Should I do

    A. Ward > Rat (bench Burner)
    B. Michu > Hazard/Oscar
    C. Save transfer as Cardiff are probably as likely to keep a cleanie as West Ham

    Any suggestion?

    Just reading through the history of the Premier League top scorers.

    Its quite notable that for the golden boot winner each year the closest the second top scorer from the same club has been is 3rd place (2004/5 Henry and Pires 25 to 14 goals). Aside from that most years the next highest scorer from the same club is miles away. In fact, usually the top 5/6 are all from different clubs and the same pattern between team mates repeats further down (ie usually one player dominates the scoring from each club)

    In 2003/4 Saha and Van Nistlerooy both finished on 20 goals, but Shearer and Henry finished above them on 22 and 30 respectively.

    Clearly none of this is conclusive, but it does suggest that having both Suarez and Sturridge long term may not be the best bet for maximum points return (although this year could always be the exception of course!)

    * disclaimer - I currently own both. This is part of my ongoing research into whether i keep both.

      In most of those teams goals would have shared around a lot it seems at Liverpool they are pretty much going to be the only ones scoring goals! I would imagine they will both end up in the top 5 goalscorers assuming neither gets injured (or Suarez does something stupid and misses a load more games!)
