The Big Numbers – Gameweek 14

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…

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

    I have 2FT and 0.1M in bank

    Should I do this? : Will have 1.1M

    Baines and Begovic > Enrique and Szseczny

      Not sure I would be too keen to get rid of Bego. Would do the first transfer for sure though (I will most likely be making that exact same move)

      When you install it, a 'Scoutify' button appears on your team page that shows a nicely formatted team list. Thank Jimnastics for it.

      My only recommendation is maybe to think about ending the Stoke double up soon. The best fixtures are over so it might be time to do Cameron > Enrique/Nastasic/Mertesacker/JEvans

        Their fixtures look good from GW17, and he's a decent goal-threat. With Dembele back you'd think they will keep some clean sheets..eyeing up Cuellar replacements.

    • 12 Years

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, Demba Ba is involved in nearly every goal Newcastle score...much like Suarez at Liverpool. Newcastle are off form so the appeal is lessened. The fact remains, there is no-one else in that Newcastle side worth having right now so Ba getting sneaky 6 points out of bad results feels awesome.

    The time may come to sell Ba but if Newcastle can pick up form again it'll be interesting.

    Oh and in the last two games Liverpool have scored effectively 0 goals (if you disregard the silly Bale own goal)

    Food for thought as I said it before...there is nothing much between Newcastle and Liverpool. Both are decent but often underwhelming sides with top 6 ambitions.

      I got Mata myself and will be looking to ship him out soon (with Rafatation, defensive minded play and the blank in gw.17), but no hurry as I think Mata will play this weekend. Your strikers are great. Cazorla to Walcott to free up founds could be an allright move, but maybe a bit sideways. I'm not sure how long Foster will be out, so that might be something to look into if he aint back soon.

      Also not a fan of Morrison atm, but WBA fixtures are better now.

          Depends. If you are big on stats then it's an absolute must. It was information overload for me though. I prefer to pick the players based on fixtures, form and watching the games.

          Definitely. The access to the stats-based articles are very helpful for decision-making let alone access to all the raw data in the members section. And, frankly, I think Mark & co. deserve to be compensated for their efforts.
