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

      Baines keep
      Tadic may be fine, maybe worth selling with bad fixtures
      Fábregas will be fine
      Sakho will probably be fine, wait for presser. Swap for Austin if out for a couple of games or more
      Wilson will probably be fine, wait for presser. Need to be sold anyway
      Bruce (Injured) will probably be fine, wait for presser. Need to be sold anyway

        Sorry for Bruce I copied and pasted wrong. I have no idea what's going on with him! Don't bother following Hull

          he's just a bench warmer that i havent been able to shift out yet haha

      shouldn't have made those two transfers so early on an INT break 😛

      That's a tough call, other than lack of sanchez it looks fine.

      I'd risk playing as is, been lots of recovery time for all those guys.

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years

        I havent made any transfers, still got 1 free.

    2. Demí
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, i'd save it this week for sure. Take a -4 this week if necessary. Can deal with wildcard next week, or just ship out the Saints players with everything likely to be more clear. Tadic and Di Maria should both start fwiw imo

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years

        Aye, youre probably right mate.

    Team linked, but basically, ADM and Baines are yellow. ADM>Haz should be perfect?

      Sounds good, could consider Oscar if you could do with the cash

      The only game i wanted this year was Dragon Age Inquisition and now they've banned it in our country cause there is a gay character in it.. Narrow minded idiots

      1. OBAMA

        India?

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years

          Yup

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The new Halo is the old one with better graphics innit? Think i'm gonna be getting Far cry 4 as my FPS of the month. looks fun

      1. ADucksBehind
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        They remastered Halo CE and Halo2 but then put Halo 3 and Halo 4 on the same disc.

        It's possible to play all 4 versions in one playlist now.

        I grew up on Halo so am so excited 😀

        Havent seen anything on Farcry yet, might go check it out

    4. Ady87

      I don't know whether to get this or CoD now i'm maxed out on Destiny.

      I'm worried picking it up my ruin my fond memories of Halo 3 multiplayer. Doubles, the quest for Level 50/General, the original 'zombies' etc

      1. ADucksBehind
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I've played both now and I have to say this years COD is the hardest I've played, people can come from literally anywhere

      Yep, trying to complete it on legendary is hell.

        One wrong step and you're dead! Sooo good, you play online MP?

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

    Based on the article on BBC Sport today, people can't honestly buy into the 'table if only English players scored'? Always annoys me when they throw out pointless figures / tables to back those claims..Impose a quota > Top 4 get all the best English players > Normal order resumes

    1. ADucksBehind
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      e.g. The amount of Irish players not born in Ireland.

      That annoyed me!

      Look at the Germans

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

        Im not 'for' the quota. Just don't like how they try to push for it

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

      Arsenal are top having scored 5 and conceded 0 in an 11 game season ðŸ˜

      1. Wilshere Knowledge

    3. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's ridiculous, this is the modern world where any EU citizen has equal rights to work in any other EU member state. Quotas are illegal

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

        And it'll just lower the quality of the league, they aren't magically going to get better - and won't be testing themselves against the worlds best

        1. pompeyfan
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          competition should improve things, in an ideal world...

      2. Barnsley FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        What's ridiculous is that the UK is still in the EU

        1. pompeyfan
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          UK leaving the EU would be disastrous financially for the country with many big firms relocating their HQs or EHQs elsewhere.

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

            Agree to disagree there mate, given the savings the UK would make from not paying the EU membership fees. London is also the biggest hub in Europe, it would hurt firms to move their HQs out of there and so isn't very realistic.

            1. pompeyfan
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Most of the major financial services companies HQ'ed in London have already promised to go to Ireland if the UK leaves the EU.

    1. Billy Gilmore

      Could you please tell him how to spell gauge? 🙂

      gauge*

      Guessing it's his error?

  8. Rolf Harris Saint Germain
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez hasnt ruled out Baines but has ruled out a few others which makes me think he could play

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Read Demi's update above ^

  9. Sir David White
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Guzan-Given

      Janmaat-Aldereweild-Reid-Rangel-Yun

      Hazard-Sanchez-Downing-Siggy-Gerrard

      Austin-Bony-Aguero

      GTG?

      1. Mulla
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        If u have any trannies I would downgrade Gerrard to cheapie and upgrade bony to COSTA. Too much money in midfield for me. Nice to see a different type of team though 🙂

    • Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      I read some where that Downing has a knock, so he's another slight doubt.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yup.. Presser in 5 mins. just my luck i brought him and Sakhi in last week on WC 🙂

    • Nico.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      On a WC:

      Bring in Ivan as a placeholder for Baines?

      🙂

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. tot, mci, sot in next 5 for Baines.

    • Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Will there be a scoutcast tonight?

    • ninja101
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Got burned leaving Wanyama (avl) on the bench in the last two weeks, but would it really be worth benching Siggy (mci)?

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Start the Iceman.

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

        Wanyama won't keep scoring. You have to play Siggy, especially if Kompany is still out.

    • A Defender's Nightmare
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Gerrard âž¡ Oscar if you've FT.

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years

        @ Sir David White

    • Mulla
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Morning lads,head melted!!
      6 flagged for me,
      Baines
      Fab
      ADM
      Welbeck
      Tadic
      PVA.

      Question is,would you WC this

      Bego. Krul.
      Baines. Clyne. Chambers. PVA. Duff
      Fab. ADM. Downing. Tadic. Marney
      Aguero. Welbeck. Pelle.

      to this...

      Krul. GUZAN.
      Baines. Chambers. NAYLOR. YUN. Duff.
      SANCHEZ. HAZARD. SIGGY. Downing. BOYD.
      COSTA. Aguero AUSTIN.

      Have exact money to do this now so can't afford any more drops!!
      I've gone from 450k»»»27k in last five weeks and was hoping to save WC til later but not sure now.
      Should I hit the panic button or just ride out the storm and hope for the best?
      Thanks.

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

        Fab, AdM, and Welbeck will all probably play. Wait for the pressers

      2. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Wait till later today and if no good news then IMO click it - those picks are really good and with the coming busy schedule gives a steady team to work with.

      3. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Close call. Saints Trio could do really well this GW. You've FT?

        1. Mulla
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah have 1FT and 0.5£ itb. Was looking forward to having saints trio for MNF but worried my team will be crippled by then!

          1. A Defender's Nightmare
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Either save FT or ADM âž¡ Hazard. No need of WC at all. Welbeck, Fabregas, Tadic all are likely to be fit in time.

            1. Mulla
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Cheers fella I suppose will see what news comes from pressers today and tomorrow then reassess situation

    • Who Ate All Depays?
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A) Pelle & Fab -> Costa & Siggy (-4)
      B) go without Costa and save FT

      Guzan
      Baines / CLyne / Rose
      Fab / ADM / Sanchez / Downing
      Aguero / Pelle / Bera
      (Mccarthy / Boyd / Wisdom / Saylor)

                    I went for the first delhi game.......the massive running track around the pitch doesn't make for great viewing. Plus we're last in the league lol

      Time to hop off from Baines wagon?

      Can't see him having more than 2 cs in next 7 gameweeks and he won't keep getting those assist and pens at this rate.

        Yes 🙂

          You don't even own him 🙂

            For the reason you just mentioned, rather try and jump on the next bandwagon - Theo 😎

              Would you do Baines -> Azpi for free if he is confirmed out?

              Want to get Costa back at some point and to free some funds for him.

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

                Yup, makes sense. Get more CS points and Costa will out score whoever he's replacing. Baines isn't gonna get a peno every week

                  Exactly my thoughts my friend.

            Still has good home games coming up. He hasn't been ruled out for the weekend either. Keep him.

            Tbh, I'd keep if I had him

        Sell him at your peril.

            Next 4 home games: West Ham, Hull, QPR and Stoke.

            I'm keeping.

            1. S.Kuqi
              • 13 Years

              You can leave West Ham out and what about his away fixtures?

              1. Think Tank
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                He's had attacking returns in 3/5 away games (missed a penalty too)

                Can't be ruled out at the weekend either.

        you never own baines solely on cs basis.
        and yes,he'll keep banging pk's and assists.he looks livelier than ever.

        Cheers everyone. I ll come back and hunt you down if gets 0,2,1 in his next three games 😀

      This what perhaps exactly what Martinez said

      @CBeesleyEcho

      RM: We're checking Leighton Baines on a daily basis. It's touch and go for the weekend. He heals quickly.

      So Baines out not worth it, Naylor's 1 or 0 pointer if he wont play. Tadic, ADM, Sakho to go. Thank god none of them is a Mourinho player...

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

        Not sure we'll get a clear cut answer on Sakho: wouldn't he have just got back with the team?

        1. skodaole2
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          West Ham news are almost always accurate so we ll know until Saturday. Even if not, my main concern is to field XI starting players, so Boyd may take his position if the rest are fit to start. If ADM or Tadic is ruled out, I ll probably get Austin for a hit to avoid playing Naylor and Wisdom.

    • Jafalad

      So much negative chatter about injuries. Baines -> Azpi now looks a good shout.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I see it as +ve. He has a chance (50%) for this weekend and 98% for next, cant get better?

      2. Doolittle
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Baines might be fit for this weekend, and will only miss one game if not.

      3. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Baines had a good run and now Terry/Azpi have a good run while Baines has some tough away games.. could be an ideal time to switch tbh

        I believe Terry is one to get into bed with...

      5. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Though i have Sakho, Downing, Adm, Saylor also to worry about so getting rid of him is not my biggest priority atm

    • Demí
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I think the issue for most is that they can't afford Baines to even be out for 1 week, as it means struggling to put 3 defenders out. Is that accurate?

        yup, and can’t get anyone decent without selling him

      3. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I have Coleman, Azpil, Baines, Duff and Wisdom - Duff comes in, no big deal.

          Lucky you. Gonna have to rely on Moore playing myself

        Exactly. I have Clyne and Ivanovic. If Baines is ruled out, I'll have to rely on Moore or Hutton
