If you want to look at stats from GW1 then that's your prerogative but in this case I'm looking at form over the last 6 GWs which is a nice sample size and is more recent. I don't see how this is 'picking and choosing' to suit Downing. Siggy has had 1 attempt at goal in his last 4 games. If we look at the last 3/4/5 games Downing actually has better stats than Siggy. The only important area where Siggy has Downing beat at the minute is in shot conversion of his team mates who he assists. I expect that conversion rate to fall, and in turn Siggy's points return, and because he has been offering so little in front of goal I expect Downing to outscore him. Andy Carroll is set to return which will suit Downing in his role at the minute. Sakho is only going to miss one game.

Is he likely to regain his position when available? Anybody got any interest in Palace? I'd hate to let Puncheon go this week with such an attractive fixture but I obviously don't want him to be sitting on his hole for the first 75 minutes. Did Zaha do well enough last week to keep him out, he looked decent enough on MOTD.

Mr.Prodston wrote: » I've calmed right down on the WC this week now. I'm either going to maybe even bank my transfer or do 2 for -4. What I'm looking at but far from convinced is: ADM -> Hazard Fabregas -> Ramsey Which saves me 0.5 allowing me to bring Cresswell in for Bardsley next week. I can't really afford Sanchez without the WC but if I ignored Arsenal at home to Burnley this week I wouldn't be too keen at all. ADM could quite easily do well against City and United's fixtures open out quite nicely again after that (Arsenal away I'm aware of). I'll want one of ADM or Rooney going forward too. Essentially I'm trying to convince myself that Hazard won't deliver that sack full of points he's been promising and that Arsenal at home to Burnley won't be a rout Pelle and Fabregas are on 4 yellows. Costa is a ticking timebomb and Aguero is hardly Mr reliable in terms of fitness or discipline either so it's not inconceivable that there'll be a perfect storm some week soon. This helps in keeping that WC another while as my defence actually has decent enough fixtures again after my dithering the last 2 weeks :pac: _____ What on earth have I become? I'm effectively the Anti-Mr.P of the last couple of years :eek:

Wouldn't be too keen on ditching Fabregas as you know what you're going to get with him - constant assists and the odd goal. I also think he'll pick up a tactical yellow that won't keep him out for a league game, José is well known for this in the past. As Ziegler said I'd just wait for Walcott for your Arsenal cover as he should be back to full fitness pretty soon.
