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…
I think you and Drinky will draw 😯
Same with the second one 😯 😯Open Controls
two draws!? 😯
as long as they're not losses i can handle that. though i have a sneaky(and hopeful) feeling i may win each by 1ptOpen ControlsAccording to the PPI so far (no idea how accurate it is, see Zep below)
Bale - 2
Berb - 0
RVP - 3
Ba - 2
Hazard - 0
Suarez - 0Open Controlsahh gotcha. thanks! would be nice if berb could snag one. though i feel you're right.
Open ControlsI think I'm gonna lose by a point to Drinky in La Liga if those baps are correct 🙁
Open Controlsyes!! :D. (sorry). it's just that i need all u top dogs to lose so that i can take first place 😉
tough luck though mate. it's always the tight losses are brutal! i remember in the CL last year vs tommytour he got a super jammy win! don't remember exactly what happened but i still hate raylor to this day after that gw. hope your loss matchup is more fair and less lucky for one of youOpen Controls
you win both!
Open Controls
how does this look once silva returns
IN
Silva
Cameron
OUT
Vermaelen
MichuOpen Controls
once Silva show form and returns, maybe, but not yet....
Open Controls
Yer. I'm looking to Silva if Caz's FPL form (aside from the fact he's basically running arsenal) continues to dip. Could be an easy swap.
Man C have all their big matches at home over the next 6-7 GW's - and some fairly good away fixtures too - so will need cover...Open Controls
so I believe Mirallas is taking Pienaar's place, no ?
Open ControlsNo chance.
Open Controls
Nah, Osman out, Pienaar in, Mirallas to stay. And yup, I know Osman scored
Open Controls
Santi out for Bale or Mata?
Open Controlsbale! or help me get the valencia bandwagon started 😉
Open ControlsGet Both. If only one, then Mata
Open Controls
Bale imo.
Open Controls
I'd really consider keeping caz mate
Open ControlsNah, Arsenal are crap. I'd rather invest in a team that is actually scoring goals. I'm so regretting getting Hazard out for Caz.
Open ControlsI really want to keep Caz but I also really want to have Bale in this week. Even tempted to go Hazard & Caz > Bale & Mata for a 4 pointer. Feels a bit meh though.
Open Controls
So then, Barfa out for Michu, and up grade Clark or Mikel?. Not sure what is the most pressing need
Open Controlsdon't get it why would Suarez dived right infront of Moyes ? personal grudge ?
Open ControlsBecause Moyes had a go at him for diving prior to the game.
Open Controls
He was calling him a diver and saying he would turn fans away from games. Great move by Suarez 🙂 Moyes said he loved it at the end too.
Open Controls
As Moyes was stupid enough to call him a cheater w/o knowing the wonderful cheaters he has in his own team.
Fergie v2.0 written all over him.Open Controls
Was pondering the midfield options for the WC next week, and I really fancy three United. RVP, Rafael are 2 picks, I wanted a midfielder as well. Any love for Young/Valencia?
Open ControlsHaha, sure is.
How about Young? Too rotation prone? Thats an issue with Tony v too now that hes backOpen Controls
Hmmm can someone explain how Gaston Ramirez has jumped up 2 ESP points since last week...?
Strange one...Open Controls
Makes me think that the PPI hasn't fully updated yet. No way can Cuellar remain on the same PPI after getting a CS, 2 blocks and a few clearances.
Open Controls
Very true Demi.
Open Controls
Suarez has to be wrong too, surely?!
Open Controls12 sounds good. Assist 7 goal 12 one shot on target 3 five shots of target = - heaps
Open Controls
Wait until FPL updates. seeing a 2 there would be priceless.
Open ControlsBap magnet! GET IN!!
Open Controls
When'll the bonus points be out?
Open Controls
I won't even bother with any of the diatribe today.
Morning.Open Controls
Good morning, your chumpness!!! 😉
Open Controls
will santi get bonus points for missing those sitters?
Open Controls
What do you mean exactly. Were they shots on target?
Open Controls
Is Vermaelen playable this gameweek? Can see another high scoring affair, but more pressing issues with Wilson and Gervinho out,
Open ControlsExpect a 0-1.
Open Controls
Highest scoring team for gw 10:
Hart
Rafael . Cole . Fonte
Oscar . Kightly . Sterling . Mata
RvP . Lambert . Rooney
(gervinho . Mcarthsomething . Wilson )
You saw it here firstOpen Controls
I know it's early but:
1. Wilson -> Cameron. Yay or Nay? (Already have Baines, Hangeland, Cuellar & Demel)
2. If Ba is out for a while, transfer out for a hit?:
A) Defoe (already have Bale)
B) Holt
C) Crouch (good fixtures)
D) Berbatov (if fit)
3. Play:
A) Cameron (nor)
B) Lambert (wba)
C) Demel (MCI)
4. Captain:
A) Bale (WIG)
B) RVP (ARS)Open ControlsUnlikely.
Open Controls
If Bas injured then looks like HBA will be on penos, looks like i'll be keeping him for a bit longer
Open Controls
Good shout. One of the best in the league.
Open Controls
Demel out for Caulker or Wisdom?
Open Controls
if you want to take our nolan, who would you replace him (with 7.0 to spend)
1 - pienaar
2 - Fellaini
3 - hoillet
4 - mcanuff
5 - morison
6 - kightly
7 - walters
3 or 4 or 6 will enable future RVP with the spare cash...
basically its a rank of the 5-7M mids bracket for teh next few weeks...

Is it madness to think about getting Southamptons Ramirez in? I know he is injured with a dead leg but surely he must be back soon (does anyone have any info on this?)
I'm hoping both Ba and Berbatov are not too injured because if one of them will be out for a while then I may be forced to do a double substitution getting rid of the injured striker and Cazorla for Tevez and Ramirez+ -4pts. I think Tevez could go big and once Ramirez returns (hopefully very soon) Saints fixtures look pretty good. This move is dependant on one of the two strikers being injured otherwise I would save the transfer. What do you all reckon?Open ControlsLallana?
Open ControlsYeah freaking madness. Never, ever bring in an injured player.
He's a couple of weeks away but could always have a set-back.Open Controls
You have 2 potentially injured players and want to transfer in an injured player 😯
Yep, madness. Wait until he's back.Open Controls
right, 2FT's done.
now all i have to do is sit back and wait for the injuries to roll in and i'll be back in my element and taking -8 hits.
good times.Open Controls
Who?
Open ControlsCaz -> Mata (i love a good bandwagon but i also love a player in form with a decent fixture up next)
Nolan -> Morrison (as planned for GW10 and a decent run in fixtures)
how's the -8 hit looking?Open Controls
+1
Open Controls
Rafael getting a bonus now will cost me my UCL Ligue 1 tie.
screw the linesman !Open Controls
Guys the focus of my season is my Mini League, had a monster few weeks, and caught up massively
Problem is I'm looking at 12 point hit and would have to decide today....If you could, could you give me your opinions on this please 🙂
Nolan > Oscar
Hazard > Mata
Kaca > Sterling
(To do this I'd have to downgrade Demel to a 4.0 Def, but West Hams fixtures a looking cloudy from now on)
This would change my team to:
Begovic
Rafael - Ivanovic - Baines
Oscar - Mata - Pienaar - Michu (Sterling)
Van P - Tevez - Berb
Am I being stupid? would give me a lot of differentials in my leagueOpen Controls
Want rid of both Cazorla and Giroud now. Don't know what to do though. Tough.
Open ControlsI sold Santi today. Giroud to RVP later this week for a hit.
Open Controls
Did Torres deserve the 2nd yellow?
Open ControlsNo.
Open Controls
11 years, 5 months agonowhere near a great week but did solid enough i guess. looks like i've got a chance to win all my h2h's this week! pretty rare unless you get a cracking score i think.
two looks like they'll go down to bp's though. any predictions?
me: bale (x2), berb +1
drinky: rvp, ba, hazard
me: bale + berb bp's
him: ba + suarez bp's
