The Big Numbers – Gameweek 9

There were some unfamiliar names on top of the ICT Index this week, snuggled alongside the return to form of Carlos Tevez and Leighton Baines, while Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie again provided shifts to acquire another wave of Fantasy attention. The Members Area is packed with the latest data from the weekend’s games and our Big Numbers article has picked through the goodies to find the stats that caught our eye…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Mikel is a must have. A great captain option week in week out!

    Podolski > Lukaku ?

    (Then saves enough money for HBA > Valencia the week after)
    Both Podolski and HBA have been excess baggage recently.

    Anyone keeping faith with:

    a) HBA
    b) Cazorla

    The Hazard to Bale transfer GW 3 sends shivers down my spine. I'd be quite happy to hang on, but I need a Chelsea midfielder and RVP (captaincy after ARS), otherwise I'd hang on.

      a) Don't have, but if I did I'd look to sell

      b) Thinking about getting Mata in, but I have a few issues I'm looking at that's drawing me to wc.

      (Jelly, Hangeland, Caz, Johnson, Clyne, Wilson to name a few)
