This data makes me feel even more confident about captaining Berba! This data is so helpful, it's really appreciated :-D

Awesome site Chris, been using it with moderate success due to my schoolboy errors.

Just wondered your thoughts on Craig Gardner from week 14. Have a feeling he'll play in the hole from now on and need to swap him for Pienaar to before Giroud in week 15

cheers, keep up the great work!

Hey Chris... How about a piece on the top 6 or so strikers from a fantasy perspective? (RVP, Suarez, Ba, Tevez, Aguero, Berba)

This season it seems like you need three of those forwards to do well and so much is dependant on getting the pick right.

For example, I had Ba, RVP and Tevez and swapped Ba for Berbz then Ba scored. The guy behind me in 2 on my ml has Tevez, Berbz and Suarez and I'm worried that he'll catch me if I don't cover Suarez, but I can't really drop Tevez after his haul and RVP seems like a lock to score a bunch of points for the rest of the season (although at a price).

What would you do? The piece could outline what their projected points are from here until Jan and then until the end of the season and value.

Also, Puncheon or Kaca for a 5th mid (I have guthrie).

Hi Chris, your attacking numbers for Fulham's upcoming Games seem a bit skewered (and hence Berbatov's). They play away to Stoke and Chelsea, and then at home to Spurs and Newcastle. This looks like a tough run of games but yet u give them Green lights attack wise...... am I missing something?
Additionally. Sunderlands next 5 or 6 games look good defensively but your numbers don't support this. Any reason for these 2 abnormalities?

Selecting defenders within the same team

-
We talked about this earlier in the season, but with a couple more games in the bag, I've updated the viz which attempts to help you choose your defenders. The "All Players" tab should in theory help you do this coming with a blank slate, but the r aison d'etre for the viz is to help you choose between players in the same side, once you've decided that, for example, you want a City defender. The viz can be found linked from the main menu , and here and should be opened separately to best read this piece. A few notes as of GW5 below. Arsenal I'm not sure how much value there is with this defense right now, but if you are planning to play the fixtures and take a chance with one of Emery's men, this would suggest it should be Mustafi rather than the 10% owner Bellerin who you should target. Bournemouth Cook is the man here for now, though if a clear winner emerges from the developing Daniels vs Rico battle then one of those players could topple him b...

Believing the numbers: when do goals for and against stabilise?

-

At this point of the year it's important that we try and establish what numbers can be believed. In other words: how small is too small for a sample size? Consider, for example, that through six gameweeks last season: Aston Villa ranked 10th in goals scored at home and 3rd on the road. They wound up being the 2nd worst attacking side in the league, managing to notch just one goal more than Stoke.  Tottenham placed 19th in home defense, shipping an average of 2.5 goals per game. They finished the year as one of the league's best defenses, ranking 4th at home and 5th on the road. QPR conceded just one goal in their first three away games. They went on to concede 40 more in the next 16, at an alarming rate of 2.5 a game, enough to rank behind everyone outside of lowly Blackburn. We could go on and on. The point being, six games is not enough to write teams off or buy into short lived success. When then, is long enough? Using data from the past two seasons (ideally we'...
