After kicking off our series of Big Numbers articles with a look at the best performing Defenders over the first three Gameweeks, we now move further up the pitch. This time round we focus on midfielders, with a trio of summer signings all showing plenty of promise in their new surroundings.
How did Jones' injury look?
Didn't realise he was injured
based on Jones's previous reactions i'm guessing it looked like a character at the ending of a out of Edgar Allan Poe novel
Haha!
i meant his face.. dint really see the game so ignore any scare mongering caused by this
Cramp like
Glass half full….
Welbeck another good performance in an England short
Rooney led the team well and had a decent game
I'm even going to stick up for Andy Townsend…..*shirt!
????????????
At 6.9 Welbeck for Arsenal is a bit silly to turn down. Even if he isn't prolific.
Can spend the money elsewhere
Not vs Man City for me.
Which one would you bench?
A) Lamela
B) Silva
C) Ramsey
D) Siggy
E) Naismith
Has to be Naismith!
Yeah, I just know that yet again he will get points on my bench and one of my midfielders won't.
At least he is making me money!
Lamela
I'm still not convinced about Lamela. Inconspicuous against Liverpool
It is between Lamela and Naismith. I feel Lamela could be frustrating to own. Have a great game and then have a couple of quiet ones.
I'll be benching Siggy this week and playing Naismith, could regret it but I dont like when I have players playing against my defenders..Could end badly I know!
A. Welbeck
Or
B. Naismith + 1.5So jovetic to Welbeck looks like the transfer of the week..
Reckon Eriksen to Fabregas worth the hit for the second or just leave eriksen in?Do you think Welbeck will go straight into the starting line up?
Dont see why not.. if jovetic is fit i'll keep him. else a swap looks far too temptin
Rooney or Falcao?
LOL @ everything.
Not happy with Jones picking up an injury - thats now Jones, Hazard, Costa, Jovetic injured/flagged, with Duff and Mata superceded by other signings.
Think it was cramp. I could be wrong but he will start next game.
Yeah I won't be kneejerking him out anyway - just the amount of flags is annoying - suppose its happening to everyone though
mate, you have same exact team as mine. got those 4 on red cross alert + duff w/ that signing, altho Duff can remain nailed no? and the other cb out...
Not sure how you can hate on Welbeck as an FPL option. 6.9M for a nailed on Arsenal striker who, despite popular opinion, has a pretty good goalscoring record (as striker). Will be looking to bring him in. Only thing putting me off right now is their fixtures (although they're not as bad as they look)
He'll get service like he did today. For his price, could be a bargain. Otherwise Naismith is a decent cheap option.
Why not as bad as they look?
Man City game should be full of goals, then Aston Villa, then Spurs which should be full of goals. Only terrible one is Chelsea.
You're starting to convince me!
What makes you think that the Man City game will be full of goals...
Agree, after this week I can see goals every game
Not even that unsure about this week
Naismith to Welbeck looks good in two weeks time.
Would you not be better going Naismith for the next two?
I would seriously consider him, but (Chelsea injury check aside), am happy for the moment with my front three of Costa-Rooney-Naismith
I have the same but if Rooney fails to do anything this week, will probably get in Welbeck and use the money elsewhere.
Am not sure whether to give Rooney one more game or two, but much will be revealed about Man U's striking line-up this weekend
FFScout members will know that Welbeck is good. His goal scoring record when given game time is right up there with the top strikers when looking at the stats. I'm not sure why people question him either. 6.9m for Arsenal's main striker until Christmas at least looks like FPL gold to me.
In every UFPL team I'd imagine.
Ah my eyes! What happened to your username?
But yes...has to be a must for UFPL.
Haha, in the absence of time to redo my grav I've settled for a rainbow themed username as a short term gesture 🙂
Is this to do with laces thing
Ah yes, forgot the key element of that explanation 😆

Home to City and away to chelsea. Couldn't be much worse. Also, not good if you have Ramsey.
Chelsea away I agree you can't get any worse. But it's not like Man City are massively solid at the back away from home. Just as much chance of scoring against them as he has against Villa away imo. Makes no difference to me if I also own Ramsey, I judge them on their individual merit.
Fair enough. I'm usually wrong.
If you sitting with Jovetic and a FT, as I am - its now a no brainer - just get him now.
Fantastic. My injuries:
Jones
Costa
de Jong
Sturridge
fak
Diego Costa will probably be fine.
Still. Might have to WC 🙁
Got 0FT leftJust had a look at your team, Your bench is alright to bring someone on for De Jong this week, so don't take a hit losing him. Jones didn't look too serious. Sturridge > Aguero/Falcao/Balotelli/Adebayor for -4 only thing that looks necessary. Got to learn not to make early transfers though man, really no need with a load of games with your players involved in and especially with how slow risers are this year.
Unlucky 😆
Jones injury is the only downside of today's game 🙁
Thought he had a good game tonight to go with his decent start to the season.And Sturridge didn't get injured tonight either...
oh no, I wanted to wait with Welbeck one more week 🙁
now I feel like I wanna do Dzeko > Welbz now already...
Welbeck still price protected? On a wildcard and don't want to miss any price rises.
Price rises have been cancelled for the season.
Doubt he'll rise as fast as a brace in the PL
don't think he is.
Cheers all.
Allll Aboard !
When your ship has come in, what else is there to do.
Dzeko or Adebayor?
Adebayor
Think I'm going Dzeko to Adebayor this week
Been out the loop recently with FPL what's with Costa and will he be fit for the weekend?
Seems that way
No one knows.
I'm buying Welbeck GW5, yes I am.
cool
why is there some interest in Boyd?
Is he a starter now or something?Attacking mid, should start at Burnley, will be pretty much be up front
oh cheers.
must have missed that memo
Jove>Welbs this week and Roon>Falcao next, depending on how falcak play 😀
Interesting fact: this is the first competitive win that Rooney's been involved in since 26th April when Man Utd beat Norwich.
Don't move on Jones yet until we know for certain!
Hi guys, haven't been able to access the Internet for a while. Just two questions...
1. Mata > sterling tonight? Now he's got through the game
2. Why th consensus on costa; likely to play?
CheersEven if costa's out for this gw, not gunna get rid.
1. probably - i'm sticking til after champs league. probably daft thing to do.
2. i've got a hunch no. hunch all we have to go on.
is it worth to do -8 for 2 defenders as bruce doesnt play and jones is injured?
others are lovren hutton and naylor the latter 2 having awful fixtures
thoughts please?Points hits for defenders?? Yuck.
not keen.
It's inly 1.4 more than bojan was and look at amount of people who thought that was great buy.
*only
If you don't think he's a great buy, don't buy him.
I am saying he is great but
What part of that completely arsed up statement made you think otherwise 🙂*buy
Who else has just signed Welbz in FPL? Looked class didn't he!
In my team now. All aboard! Never in doubt! Choooo chooooo!Who for?
Costa
Costa who may only be out for one week or no time at all? And is the form striker in the league?
You bite too easy 🙂
How would you know? 😛
I have a gift for those who are looking for a bite 😉
I hope you took a hit.
Mistake!
Will get injured stepping off plane
i was thinking in adebayor, but welbeck is tempting
Great that you've snapped. 😉
Delph is better than Wilshere
Karl Henry > Wilshere
Lenny Henry > wilshere
😆
Underrated Delph, hes better than Oxlade as a holding even.
gets too may cards for ffl
Delphzinho all day long
hi guys,Which option do you prefer??
A) Falcao,Matic,Wisdom
B) Ballotelli,Henderson,Taylor
C) Welbeck,Sterling,Jones
