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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      What you think of my WC team?

      Begovic
      Jones // Moreno // Ivanovic
      Ramsey // Fabergas // Siggy // Sterling
      Costa // Naismith // Aguero

      Bench: lowest price in all positions

      Pending Jones's injury, I may bring in Shawcross.

        Pretty good all round team, if you could squeeze Lamela in then it would be perfect

        1. Mr Wizard
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers guys. Lamela is a good shout! I'll keep him in mind.

      3. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I think you will find yourself in the same boat as most of the Bojan owners (myself included) - your team structure is not flexible enough for when you have to replace Naismith. It will require some major surgery, multiple transfers, player downgrades, etc. He just won't be a week-in-week out player in a 3-4-3.

        1. Mr Wizard
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers pepin.

          I would probably keep Naismith until I build up 2 free transfers and then downgrade jones to facilitate Naismith to welbeck.

          Or I might swap bego for krul and swap jones to Shawcross which would save me 0.5 to add to the 1.0 I would save from downgrading Shawcross and out that towards Naismith to welbeck...confusing

      Any objection if I double this up here? With an acknowledgment of Just A Hat's sage advice obviously ringing in my ears.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      How do we like these WC apples?

      Krul / Mannone
      Rafael / Moreno / Clyne / Naylor / Duff
      Sterling / Rambo / Cesc / Siggy / Boyd
      Aguero / Balotelli / Welbeck

      A) Looks good
      B) Cesc -> Tadic, Rafael -> Ivanovic
      C) Cesc -> 7m mid, Rafeal -> Ivanovic, Balotelli -> Costa

      Hmmmmm?

      1. Sparrer
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        You need more Lamela

        1. Sparrer
          • 12 Years

          Stay out of this, you

        Do we think Clyne will rise tonight then? 🙂

        1. Sparrer
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Surely someone has to rise some time... right?

        2. The Bandit

          Insert shit wag joke here .......

      3. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        If both Costa & Jovetic are out, I may WC. At least I won't feel that bad seeing that not much has changed in terms of prices.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I reckon Costa will play but not Jovetic

          1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I can live with that! Problem with Costa is that he was excellent captain material, hope we get a definitive 'he's fit' news.

        2. Just A Hat
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If you haven't got Lamela in yet then he is a MUST for your WC team

          1. Mílanista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Chadli!

          2. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Chadli's stats look good, too

            1. Just A Hat
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Lamelas stats and physical appearance both look good...I think it's worth paying the extra 2 million for that!

              1. mod33
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Their are better options than lamela inconsistent for me he ran riot against a poor QPR side and did nothing against Liverpool

                1. Just A Hat
                  • 16 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  but then he put an awesome display in against Germany

                  1. mod33
                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    Exactly inconsistent also Germany were poor against Scotland and Naismith looked dangerous. Playing liverpool a high tempo match in the Prem is different to a international friendly. Not doubting his ability just better options at the moment. Might put him in a few gws see how he goes

        3. Pinatta
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If they are both out mate.. you might miss 20 points. 30 maybe, is that already enough to WC?

          1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            The rest of my team is solid, so you are right, I may just take a hit to fix the strikeforce.

      4. Sparrer
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Do we think Lamela will rise tonight then? 🙂

      5. CCaddy
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Jones ---> Bertrand for a 4 point hit?

        *if he is injured.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Not if you have three fit and nailed on defs

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        3. Mr Wizard
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          McGeady

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I would have said McGeady but he scored twice for NI yesterday.

            1. Munchen KFC
              • 11 Years

      7. Podge

        Did something happen with Lamela ?

        1. Just A Hat
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He is just playing fantastic, will only improve in the next few weeks and looks set to rack up the points

          1. Podge
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            They will against the bad teams but will be pissed on by all the decent ones, flat track bullies I fear.

            7 points last week. Could easily replicate it. Scoff all you want. You've probably sold Mata too.

                Ok, apologies.

                What's Austin got to do with anything btw? lol

                  oh right, he may nick a goal at Old Trafford.

                  Naaah 😉

                  i think he will score 🙂

        I think it's a little 'unfair' to all those WC-ers that the moneygame is so Fukced up this year.. I'm not a WC-er now, but a lot of us i guess are trying to catch some TV now and don;t get it.

        Really like the look of this

        Krul (Elliot)
        Moreno | Azpi | Coleman (PVA)(Hutton)
        Siggy | Rambo | Fab | Sterling (Boyd)
        Balotelli | Welbeck | Costa

        How is that defence, how can I improve it?

        1. Pinatta
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Not, keep it.

        2. 4vets
          • 15 Years

          That is almost my team... almost 🙂

          1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Looks very long term this team tbh. Only Balotelli might be an issue.

            1. 4vets
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I think not. He's a punt, but an enjoyable one 🙂

              1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Hoping so! Are you going to do Rambo > Walcott when he's back? That's what I'm thinking.

                1. 4vets
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  Yup, that's the only reason Rambo is in my team.

                  1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
                    • 11 Years
                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    I like your thinking 🙂

                    Might go Tadic and keep cash itb.

                    1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
                      • 11 Years
                      11 years, 3 months ago

                      That's quite a bit of a downgrade though, IMO I would only drop Rambo for a similar consistent player.

                          Ah ok, fair point. I normally rely on consistent form rather than fixtures.

          • 14 Years

          With Ivanovic instead of Coleman.

          1. Mílanista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Lose Azpi

            1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Get Azpi out instead of doing Coleman > Ivan?

              1. Mílanista
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                No, get Azpi out to allow Coleman>Ivan since you already have triple Chelsea.

                1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
                  • 11 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  Oh yeah, who's the best defender 6m under in your opinion?

                  1. Mílanista
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    I'd say Moreno who you have or Clyne

                    1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
                      • 11 Years
                      11 years, 3 months ago

                      No Debuchy then?

          2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

            Good shout fella, just realised I have 0.2 ITB!

            1. 4vets
              • 15 Years

              Then that's just about my team 🙂

      14. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I've had a few pops at Wilshere tonight but in fairness, he is best in an attacking short passing fast moving role. When did anyone ever see anything to suggest he would be a good CDM? 😕

        1. Puncheon Debuchery
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I think that's his big problem at the moment, defining a role for himself.
          What sort of midfielder is he going to be?
          He's at a bit of a crossroads already in his career, and he's only 22.

          Awful bang of Joe Cole off him actually, to be honest. I just can't see him kicking on.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          I think, tonight, he died, a little. I agree, it is tragic.

        3. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          But he never seems to quite fit whatever he does..He's always going to be a nearly man..

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

            I am afraid you're right. A case of no footballing personality.

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              He's an odd one for sure..

        If Jovetic is out this week, which would you rather:

        A.) Get Aguero - both main rivals already do, I was going to wait two weeks.

        B.) Go for Welbeck as a differential before they get him.
