A number of midfielders are placed under the spotlight, with Arsenal, City, Chelsea and Liverpool all serving up some strong statistics. The performance of United’s frontmen at Villa and Tottenham’s inability to find the net under the now-departed Andre Boas-Villa also come under analysis as we delve into the data.
Just hope that Everton keep a lot of CS till Aguero is back... thereby increasing Jagielka's price to an all time high... then it will be easy to downgrade him and upgrade Negredo to Aguero easily...
Open ControlsI think I'm going to have 10 players in my team rising in price this week 😯
Open ControlsWhich 3 of these defenders would you play this week?
Terry (ars). Gabbidon (new) baker (STK). Distin(SWA)Open ControlsA> Silva
B> WallyOpen ControlsI think uber defense is the way I'm heading in the January wildcard.
Big teams are not keeping enough clean sheets to justify their price and cs are getting too hard to predict anyway. This along with the premium mids hitting their stride!Open ControlsForum still ignoring yaya ?
Open ControlsWho you replace Aguero with?
Open ControlsSome have decided to go full casual. Using the excuse that he is on penalties now to mask their embarrassment.
Open ControlsSecond only to Ramsey's points in midfield...do you hate all good mids?
Open Controls
Can't say.
Open Controls
hurrahh
Open ControlsHe's due a big haul of goals and if not, he's so large that almost every cross manages to hit some part of his body and cause an assist. Good choice.
Open Controls
My team is this
Vorm Marshall
Terry, GJ, Coleman, Burner Vlaar
Wally, Hazard, Ozil, Rav, Brady
Suarez, Lukaku Remy
Have 2 FTs and want to do Remy -> Negredo & Vlaar -> Chester tonight but need to do one more to afford it. Should my hit be Brady-> Bannan/Redmond or Vorm -> McGregor/Speroni??
Any ideas??Open ControlsAlready asked this, but I will ask just one last time, as its a really tough decision for me, and needs to be made soon! Pick one out of:
A) Silva & Lukaku
B) walcott & Negredo
Thanks a lot lads, I appreciate all the help 🙂Open ControlsA
Open Controlsthis week A, medium term B
Open Controlsscratch that and reverse it
Open Controls
I've gone with A, very tough call though.
Open ControlsA
Open Controlsvery tough call. i would think B. walcott will score more goals than silva and reckon negredo will outscore lukaku. i have three of these and want d 4 of them though so there is very little between them
Open Controls
So how many points can I expect from:
Krul (Marshall)
Coleman Jagielka Flanagan (Ward Chester)
Silva Hazard Ramsey Ozil (Morrison)
Negredo Suarez(c) LukakuOpen ControlsI just did
Mertesacker, Ravel, Aguero >
Turner, Silva, Rooney
8pt hit
😯Open Controlsahhh i love bein off work durin december
Open Controlshad loads of leave left over, so im takin the month off 😀
Open ControlsSweet! I'm finished up in work next week and then moving to Australia after xmas! 🙂
Open Controls
Who need to go for Silva?
A) RavMo
B) Shelvey
C) Fer
Team: http://i.imgur.com/Z3HDnlb.jpgOpen Controlsprobably shelvey as hes a less prominent force in attack now michu and pals are back from injury, plus swans fixtures dont look great, whereas fer n ravmo have a few gooduns
Open Controlsshelvey wil surely play deeper now michu is back, he should be the one. keep ravmo
Open ControlsThanks guys. Shelvey need to go!!
Open Controls
Could look like this next gw...it'd be risky thou binning Özil.
Migs
Jagielka Coleman Figueroa/Gabbidon
Walcott Silva Ramsey Hazard
Suarez Rooney LukakuOpen ControlsLooks good to me.
Open Controls
In case anyone cares I have decided to revert to my original FFS grav from last year, having flirted with a no nonsense man in a hat (I feel Keith has that covered) and a Solomon Island warrior.
I feel the depiction of myself as a depressed android with the brain the size of the planet better depicts my sparkling charisma and infinite wisdom.
Thanks for listening.Open ControlsI hope their first keeper gets dropped.
Open Controls
Ok, so i had plenty of time to make this call when I was thinking about it yesterday, but now its a little close to the price rise deadline, and I need to make a decision on Aguero.
A) Aguero to Rooney
B) Aguero to Negredo
C) Aguero + Sess to Negredo and Walcott (-4)
D) Aguero, Bannan, Terry to Rooney, Walcott, Chester (-8)
A+B involve playing Sess at home to Hull rather than a hit to bring in Walcott home to Chelsea. And last minute thoughts?Open ControlsA or B....... the -4s can wait a bit longer
Open ControlsJust b, get Walcott next week unless u are worried about price rise
Open Controls
Made the tough decision of bringing Lukaku in for Aguero, and RavMo out for Silva (4 point hit). Not sure how I feel about it right now, but Im sure I'll know at the weekend!! 🙂
Thanks for all the help lads, lets hope it works out!Open Controlsand i made...
Shelvey ----> Silva
Aguero----> Lukaku
😉Open Controls
The 1 million dollar question..
Negredo or Lukaku to accompany Suarez, Rooney
I'd prefer Negredo but maybe Lukaku makes more sense as part of a broader updgrade
Walcott, Lallana, Mutch, Morrrison, Bannan, (Yep i def need upgrading here too)
2.3m in the account but just 1ft..
In my case am I better off getting in the Luk and upgrading of the mids to a Yaya or Silva/Nasri??Open ControlsNasri isn't an up grade.
Open Controls
I hope you realise, I've just stewed my tea talking to you lot.
Open ControlsMore milk! Can't beat a very strong yet milky tea!
Open ControlsDone and sugar. Sort of milky syrup. 😀
Open Controls
A longer brew = more caffeine
Now you can stay awake longer and chat more 😉Open ControlsMore sugar and milk killed the after taste. 🙂

the spoon should stand up in it
Open ControlsIt melted,and was proper old Sheffield plate too.

😆 Brilliant.

Had to do it... took an 8 pointer (I keep telling myself everyone's taking hits so it's OK!)
Set for GW17!
Marshal (Davis)
Jags, Distin, Ward (Per, Burner)
Walcott, Ramsey, Yaya, Silva (Ravel)
Rooney, Lukaku, Suarez (C)
Fells good! 🙂Open ControlsMidfield is mad ha

Was Sakho just out with an injury?
Open ControlsLooks like the speculation was true about Rodgers not comfortable having 2 Left sided CB's in defence. Don't think he's started Sakho with Agger in a back four once this season.
Sakho has apparently been in excellent form too which helps. Was dropped previously i think, and not 100% fit recently.
Rumours that Agger is off to Napoli on loan in Jan: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/dec/16/napoli-liverpool-daniel-agger-rafael-benitez
Would make Sakho such a good pick with the Jan wildcard.Open Controlsyep... AB wont be please, 1st name on his teamsheet 😉
Open ControlsRodgers also tried to right footed CBs recently, in Skrtel and Toure vs Hull. That went badly, and Skrtel looked very uncomfortable being asked to play as a left sided centre half, and I don't expect to see it again unless injuries bite hard.
I can't quite see Agger being allowed to leave on loan, it would reduce his value if a sale was considered in the summer, but I agree, if he went then Sakho would be nailed on.
Sakho has got better and better as the season has gone on, while Skrtel has played well and so hasn't been dropped, meaning Agger has found it hard to get into the team. There will definitely be rotation though, we won't see any Arsenal-like consistency in the CB pairing.Open Controls
Cheers. Interesting. Rodgers very keen on having all his piece puzzled perfectly together. Probably a good thing. Sakho noted for Jan WC, although they almost exclusively keep their sheets clean versus broken teams. 4 of 5 have come versus United, Spurs, Fulham and Sparky's first game in charge of Stoke.

Team for next week. I need a good week to lift my fpl spirit...
Howard
Coleman, McAuley, Collocinni
Hazard, Ramsey, Silva, Coutinho
Suarez, Remy, Lukaku
Williams, Dawson, MorrissonOpen ControlsLOL chelsea just bought another center mid.
guarin on inter. he's alright but inconsistentOpen ControlsIs he going to Chelsea? I thought United and Arsenal were more interested in him
Open ControlsChelsea's tactic now is to buy all their rival's midfield targets, denying them the opportunity to build proper midfields. It's Papin to Milan all over again - on repeat.

Everyone on this site should have a working SMOKE ALARM in their household especially at Xmas time.
More families die at this time of year because of extra lights/faulty lights candles etc etc......
So sad but a true fact. Make sure you have a working SMOKE ALARM in your home at this time of year because if you haven't......I am sorry to tell you this but you are a DICKHEAD.
FOOKING WAKE UP.
.Open ControlsThey won't wake up if they die of smoke inhalation in the night 😉
And if you have a smoke alarm make sure you test it regularly. I check mine by accidentally burning things in the kitchen until the smoke alarm reminds me I need to go check on itOpen ControlsI'm on one. I won't let it go.
Open Controls
Is this because you think we're all putting outside lights on our trees ?!!!!
Open ControlsYes that post has disturbed me. Really disturbed me.
Open Controls
Which do you prefer?
A - Aguero & Brady > Negredo & Silva (-4)
B - Aguero, Ozil & Brady > Rooney, Walcott & Silva (-8)
C - Aguero, Ozil & Brady > Rooney, Walcott & Yaya (-8)
Marshall
Mert Jags Ward (Murner Burner)
Ozil Hazard Ramsey Brady Redmond
Suarez Lukaku (Aguero)
ThanksOpen ControlsA - Not that keen on Rooney after he played a deeper role against Villa over the weekend. Plus an 8 point hit really should be avoided.
Open ControlsA). Hold fire on Rooney. If he keeps playing deep like last weekend, I shall be looking to move him on. Good for the team, Naaf all use for FF.
Open ControlsHi Zep, long time no see.
I just did Aguero, Paulinho and Ozil > Rooney, Wally and Silva. I'm very unhappy about the hit but the first two had to go and Ozil was the sale that made it possible. Waiting a week would have made it unaffordable so I decided to bite the bullet....hopefully it will work out.Open Controls
Curse Man City's ill-timed midweek fixture! Really want to throw Silva and Negredo into my FF team mix before their respective price rises, but I seem to have actually developed a hint of patience.
Open ControlsREMY: advice pls. thx
1--Keep Remy (ag cry) and no Hit
2--Hit -4 Remy > Lukaku (ag swa)
2--hit -4 Remy > Negredo (ag ful)
*Already did FT Kun > Wazza
Migs - Boruc
Terry - Williams - Ward - Clyne - Baker
Haz - Ramsey - Silva - Ravel - Colbak
Suarez - Rooney - Remy
4.8 ITB
***was planning next gw to upgrade either Ravel or Colbak to Wally (after wally's che gw) ;
but maybe Lukaku or Negredo could be a better move 1st to switch from Remy. what to think?Open ControlsHi All,
With 2FTs this GW, is it worth completing Mertesacker, A.Williams & Sessegnon > Chester, Gabbidon & Silva for a -4pt hit?
Resultant team:
Ruddy
G.Johnson Gabbidon M.Wilson
Ramsey Ozil Hazard Silva
Rooney(vc) Suarez(c) Lukaku
