Gareth Bale and Robin Van Persie top our ICT Index rankings for the midweek matches, with the likes of Marouane Fellaini and Adel Taarabt also flourishing to catch the eye. They all come under focus in the Big Numbers analysis, as we provide our members with a few of the key stats from Gameweek 14…
My front 8 are:
Mata (whu) - Sess (nor) - Sterling (SOT) - Bale (ful) - Silva (EVE)
Ba (WIG) - Suarez (SOT) - Tevez (EVE)
0FT.
1) Who would you bench?
Given Chelsea's recent attacking output and Tevez's rotation risk I think it's a toss up between those 2.
2) Would you consider Tevez >> Rooney (rdg) for a hit?Open Controls
may be you should look at you defense 3 out of 5 are either suspended or injured..
Open ControlsI've already done Baines>Enrique, hence the 0FT. Not going to take a hit on a defender for 1 week when Hangeland is gonna be back after that and McCartney is only doubtful. The player coming in would have to get a clean sheet plus bonus/assist/goal points for it to be profitable.

Can someone bloody tell me when my differentials will get their reward over my ML opponents?Open Controls
Good to see Lucas back for Liverpool, can only make them better.. 🙂
Open Controls
Good Afternoon all.
How does this team look for this weekend.
Guzan
Mertesacker,Ivanovic, Enrique (Clark, Demel)
Walcott,Mata, Michu, Fellaini , (Sterling)
Suarez, RVP, Berbatov.Open ControlsShould bench Mata and play sterling....he would be given rest ahead of their match in the mid week champions league or even if he plays will come as a sub....
Open Controls
Who will Lucas come in for when back? Henderson, pushing Gerrard up?
Open ControlsYes imo
Open Controls
After Lucas is fully match fit, imo, it will be
Lucas - Allen/Sahin - Gerrard.Open Controls
The lineup against SOT will be the same as against Spurs, but Downing and Henderson will drop out for Wisdom and Lucas IMO (assuming Lucas is fit enough)
In theory Gerrard could get rested occasionally to leave a midfield 3 of Lucas/Allen/Shelvey, first choice is probably Lucas/Allen/Gerrard
I'd like to see Gerrard pushed into the right of the front 3, probably at the expense of Enrique, but Rodgers seems happy to leave Gerrard as his attacking mid.Open Controls
Lost on the last page and not getting much input.
Almost had the perfect defence this week if I hadn’t benched Nelsen for Clyne.
Bego
Clyne Cuellar Raf Nelsen Gorkss
Mata Santi Bale Fell Sterling
Ba RVP Fletcher
Just brought Mata last GW only to have him benched so may as well keep for this weekend when he will start. Thinking of dropping him for Michu after that with Enrique coming in for either Neslen, Gorkss or Clyne. Or I could scrap the whole thing and buy Hazard back now that he plays behind the sriker. Thoughts?
Also tinkering with the idea of swapping Caz for Theo down the line or maybe even Mata to Theo this week and ditching one of the Ars boys later on.Open Controls
What should i do about my team. Nothing but red arrows ever since i peaked at 106,000 rank. Any suggestions would be appreciated
Open Controlsi find if you pick players who score well that week you move up the league.
your welcomeOpen Controls
Repost again. Sterling and Mata -> Bale and Puncheon for -4? Already have Suarez as Liverpool cover.
Open Controls
I think outing sterling for a hit this week (he and suarez have proven they can both score large in the same game) and getting puncheon in for presumably a bench spot is stupid, and that Mata > Bale nowhere near justifies it. Long term Bale is the better option, but this week it's even enough and even if Mata doesn't play it could easily backfire.
Open ControlsBale might rise .2 and Mata will fall by .1 . So a 4 point hit is not worth it ?
Open Controls
Price doesnt really matter. Overal point is.
Open Controls
+1 I think what you're really saying is "imagine if I'd done these transfers before the midweek games"
You can't get those points back now I'm afraid 😉Open ControlsWell, sticking for now then. Thanks.
Open Controls
So who shall I bench from midfield...Sterling, Mata, Fellani or Nolan?
Open ControlsBaines/Clichy -> Ridgewell OR Mata -> Walcott. Which is more pressing?
Open Controls
@Roscola, just saw your bit of Everton sans Baines research. Great work as always chap! 🙂
Open Controlsnever read it, did it suggest holding onto him in the vain hope his play will actually be rewarded
Open Controls
Well scroll back and read it then!
Open ControlsNah, it said that Everton scored 12 goals in a 3 game run where Baines was out last year and they kept 2 CS out of 3 (remarkable!!)
Open ControlsThat's because Baines spend half his life inside opponent's third
Open Controls
+1
Open Controls
Aguero --> Suarez has felt pretty wrong. Had so much persistence with him but it just wasn't meant to be I think.
Anyone sticking with some players they just have a gut feeling about but aren't doing to great? And any reaffirmation a that getting Suarez was the right choice would be lovelyOpen Controls
Baines for me, never had him before and he's been a thorn in my side many times. Was looking forward to finally owning him but just hasn't worked out
Open Controls
*bottom of last page
Begovic Taylor
Baines Saylor Cuellar Cameron Gunter
Silva Cazorla Michu Bale Puncheon
Aguero Suarez Giroud
Quite a lot of transfers I want to do but which is the best?
A) Michu -> Taraabt
B) Baines -> Nastajevic/Enrique/Evans/Azcapulta
C) Baines & Saylor -> 2 of the above (4 point hit)
D) Baines & Michu -> Nastajevic & Walcott (4 point hit)
E) Saylor & Michu -> Nastajevic & Taraabt (4 point hit)Open ControlsIs Walcott likely to be fit for the weekend? Want to take Mata out tonight before his drop and would prefer to take a punt on Walcott but suppose Santi could do a job if it's too much of a risk
Open ControlsHe is fine, whether or not Wenger will pick him though..
Open Controls
How long do we expect Enrique to keep his place up top?
Open Controls
Although I have just transferred him in, I can't see it being long term. He has played "well" in the position so far but there is clear evidence he isn't a natural finisher/creator.
Open ControlsThis. He is a good option for now, SOT whm AVL FUL..but don't expect it to last too long.
Open Controls
Ok, thanks both!
Open Controls
Granville to accuse Mark again for chasing points. Haha.
He did Hazard to Walcott I guess.Open ControlsBale.. 😉
Open ControlsOr Baines > Enrique?
Open Controls
Pretty much decided on Ruddy to Chesney.... Arsenal have an amazing run of fixtures, only thing holding me back is a fear of having Bego on the bench a lot....
Any thoughts? 😕Open Controls
I was gonna get him in but Foster and Guzan rotate well. So I just did Baines --> Mertesacker to be able to fund Berb --> 9.6 forward
Open ControlsCheap keepers is the way to go.
I am extremely happy with Jussi - Bego.Open Controls
No, bye.
Open Controls
Mignolet (Begovic)
Hughes, Clark, Baines (Cuellar) (Gorkss)
Bale, Nolan, Mata, Michu, Fellaini
RVP, Berba (Fletcher)
I have 1.5m and 1 FT, I'm not buying into this Walcott business beacause of rotation/injury risk, so am considering swapping Mata for Caza -plays every game or should I keep my FT or indeed change elsewhere.
Thanks for any advice.Open ControlsOk. Now leave.
Open Controls
Just do some thinking, what you guys think the effect of new manager in FPL prospect?
Open Controls
who needs a transfer out MOST: Holt, Tevez, or Santon?
Open ControlsMata to Walcott worth a hit?
Open Controls
Make sure you have ALL your fantasy squad players that play in first team for Xmas period. Bound to be rotation by managers which will mean players coming off our bench.
Open Controlsyou have been here before havnt you! I remember Rooney being a pain in the rear last year.
Open Controls
Problem is that benitez thinks it Xmas all year round
Open Controlshaha, true about the spy from within Rafa. Yeah Hayemaker though some peeps I kmnow ahve a sub bench so cheap just to fill 11 players. My 15 is pretty much sorted nicely I think. Michu and Suarez will serve bans soon too.
Open Controls
Is Morrisson at WBA back in the hole now Mulumbu is back?

Bite the bullet and do
Baines + Mata + Ba > Jones + Walcott + Suarez (c) [-4]?Open Controlsnot sure who jones is but sounds good, ba does have a good fixture mind
