Having previously assessed the form of forwards and midfielders across the last four Gameweeks, our third Key Performance Indicator (KPI) article of the international break casts an eye over the defenders.

For the unfamiliar, these Key Performers Indicator (KPI) tables use a series of key stats to allow our members to track a trend in player performance as a guide to their form. By tracking the frequency of certain key statistics, such as minutes per chance, and comparing them over two separate periods of time, we can ascertain patterns of improvement or decline in these areas. For those unfamiliar, we’ve rolled out a preview movie which shows just how to get the best out of the KPI tables.

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

    1. Fantasy Gold

      His head fell off

      Take a goddamn guess

      1. Wilshere Knowledge

        Yeh! Take a f*cking guess ya dick!! 😆

          Give me a second series, you sh!t.

    Anyone swapping out Fab and bringing in Oscar?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Oscar Bravo Sierra.....no

      1. shortymak

        i need striker under 5.2
        was thinking naismith ayoze or zamora oh decisions decisions

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      That what you're doing?

    3. Norco
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, but maybe when he gets another YC. Allows me to upgrade Moore to Cahill

  3. Dazza66
    • 11 Years

    Hi Guy, playing my wild card this week, this is what I have come up with, any suggestions would be appreciated

    Foster, Krul
    Lovren, Cahill, Dummett, Chambers, Wisdom
    Sigurdsson, Hazard, Sánchez, Downing, Dorians
    Diego Costa, Ayoze, Agüero

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Lovren is appalling, in a terrible defensive team. I don't like Ayoze as well. Can't see him being first choice when Cisse is fit.

    2. buffrey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Surely you can get better than Lovren?

    3. Tex
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd Make Dorrans cheaper and upgrade Ayoze if you can. I'd probably get rid of Lovren too until Liverpool show something convincingly defensively and use that to upgrade 3rd attacker too. Austin would probably be my target.

      It risks making squad templatey but:
      Dorrans
      Dorrans to Boyd
      Ayoze to Austin
      Lovren to best available defender. Maybe Swansea.

    4. Cousin Greg
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Get a West Ham defender instead of Lovren.

    5. FAITHNOMORENO
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      would change chambers to duff maybe and find way to invest in coleman or baines instead of lovren.

  4. andres
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Baines, di maria, sakho... I smell a hit!

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Probably best to do nothing and hope for the best

  5. QWOP
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Chadli, Downing or another 7.5 mid? Already have Sigurdsson.

    1. Kip
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Downing

      If you can't field 11 with a -4, think I would. Wait for definite news on ADM, Sch & Sak tho, couple of those might make it maybe.

          Absolutely, arguably my favourite comic. Hard to see how rough it was behind the scenes but doesn't change the comedy at all!

        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Then again, I thought Jimmy Saville was ace back then.
        The young Boss Hogg perhaps wasn't the best judge of character...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Aye, 12 would be a light one for him it seems!

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Very true, wasn't around when he was in his prime so all my exposure to him has been watching old tapes and shows, now I see the darker side!

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No one is 'officially' out of the starting XI, but he doesn't seem to be favoured by Pearson anymore.

  12. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    Did Cisse survive Botswana?

    1. Fantasy Gold

    4. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Top top team, would like Di María in there if he's fit with 2 favourable home fixtures after Arsenal but I can understand the decision to go for Hazard instead.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. Its a tough call to leave him out tbh.

        But going by the stats his ppg for me was no better than Mata or Ramsey early season. Both a good bit cheaper and I didn't bat an eye losing either of them. Different with ADM.

        If I could have him for Downing through some freaking of value I'd be laughing lol

    5. RoysCallerAnne

      Great side mate, will do you good for sure

      Only critique would be the GK, I'd opt for Adrian or Fabi personally. Just don't see many cleanies in Guzan tbh

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I can get this with Sterling/Oscar over Downing and a cheapie instead of Naylor 😀

  15. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is playing wisdom at Stanford bridge any better than not having a defender at all?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years

      Maybe 1 point better 😀

    3. Norco

    If Costa, Pelle and Naylor all get their 5th yellow this week, I'll probably cry.

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      You're planning on holding Pelle Inns? He's out for me next week

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I'd rather ship the defenders first, you'd expect Southampton to score against most teams and if they do I reckon Pelle is likely to be involved.

        1. Goodnight Kiwi
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Think the decision to keep or sell SOU players could make a real shake up of ranks over the next few GWs, as they're owned by so many. This decision could be a pivotal season maker/breaker

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah that's exactly how I feel too. There's definitely going to be some success stories, whether they're from SOU sellers or holders, we'll have to wait and see 🙂

        2. Bobby Crush
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Saints away don't score much lately, and Pelle hasn't been in the goals for a while.
          I got him as well, if that helps!

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I'll give him Man City at home and then reassess 😉

    2. Epic Fail

    Someone on here before said AdM trained with the team today. Anyone else see those pictures?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, but the picture was an old picture of him training from October

      1. Timtastic03

        :/ thanks

          Look at Man Utd's Facebook page second post down and compare picture of Di Maria with this from October

          https://twitter.com/mufcdevilphotos/status/525670358922588160

          Are they trying to trick Arsene?

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            The assumption being that Arsene will make tactical adjustments? lol

            1. MJ6987

              Good point.

          2. Timtastic03
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            😯 that's absolutely ridiculous if they are

            Then again, they could just be showing the team Rooney picked. No mention that those pictures are from today's training.

            1. MJ6987
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, could be that

    krul Mannone
    Ivanovic dummet wisdom clyne PVA
    di maria Sanchez Diame Tadic JWP

    2FT:s and 0,0 ITB

    Any tips??

      I'd wait for more info on Di Maria and Tadic before doing anything.

      Mannone, Ward-Prowse and Van Aanholt, Naismith and maybe Diame would be guys I'd move on in near future.

      Van Aanholt is prob most pressing transfer, yun frees up some money to look at other positions.

    Oh well, now I've Sakho in my list of Hamer, Coloccini, Naughton, S Davis and Tadic. And maybe ADM as well.

    Would be fun playing 9 players.

      At least you manage to avoid Baines 😎

      1. Saniul

        After how well he has delivered his owners, they must bear with him for a week.

  27. Iain Dowies Love Child

    Alcaraz, ADM & Pelle to Azpi, Sanchez & Sakho

      Feck - back injury. Anyone know how much of a doubt he is?

      1. Iain Dowies Love Child
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sakho that is

        1. YoungPretender

          Try Austin instead

    Diafra Sakho @iamdiafrasakho
    Dear fans, unfortunately my back pain makes me unfit for the game
    I'm as devastated as you are, but i'll be back!
    Thanks 4 your support!

      Guess that answers my above question!

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He's talking about the game for his national team though, no neccessarily for West Ham.

    2. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Think he's talking about the international there. Doesn't bode well but could still feature vs Everton

    1FT and £1.6m in the bank. Already decided I'm doing Bego>Fabianski and Tadic>someone(downing?) next week so I could do with saving my transfer. Only problem is my XI will be pretty weak is Baines/Tadic/ADM don't start and I have to field my Burnley lads as well as Berahino away to Chelsea.

    Can anyone help me with a plan over the next couple weeks plz? Thx 🙂

    Bego
    Chambers Clyne Baines
    Sanchez ADM Tadic Siggy
    Aguero(c) Pelle Berahino

    Bench - Duff, Marney, Wisdom

      Could be a place holder until Walcott fully up and running again.
