The Big Numbers – Gameweek 23
Filed under: Members - Posted by: Mark
Joe Cole tops our ICT Index for the Gameweek so far, following his equalising goal and eye-catching display in the Hammers’ draw with QPR. With David Silva ranked second and West Brom’s Peter Odemwingie nestled in third, the weekend has seen a number of differentials put in strong statistical shifts.
Our members can, of course, get the full data behind the Index scores via our members area but, as always on a Sunday evening, we’ve compiled our guide to the figures that have turned our heads thus far in Gameweek 23…

Is Suarez + Ba -> Aguero + Sturridge (-4) a good move or save transfer??? Team would then be:
Begovic – Federici
Gibbs – Jones – Davies – Demel – Clyne
Bale – Mata – Walcott – Michu – Puncheon
RVP – Aguero – Sturridge (1.1m in bank)

I’ll be honest, I’ve been avoiding commenting on your posts because I HATE looking at your grav. It seriously hurts my eyes. And yes. YES. I like your move.
January 21 at 9:50 am
I Like Small Butts & I Can Lie says:
I think Ba will start 2 of the next 3 games.
Start: reading
Benched: Newcastle (yep against his former club)
Start: WIGAN (as Torres will start in Europe)
So now thinking whether the reading + WIGAN games are enough to stick with for the next 3 games.
January 21 at 9:53 am
CABAYE4 says:
You missed out the cup game, possibly the most important for Rafa.
Swansea- start
Reading – benched
Newcastle – start
Wigan – benched
January 21 at 10:28 am

nope..
seansea – start
bertford – bench
reading – start

futbolnotsoccer says:
Christina (and the rest of you) I can’t decide what to do. I want to keep Steve G (on pens, he’s awesome, and he’s on pens) despite his terrible two fixtures coming up. But then I miss out on Michu, whom I want. Which meaaaans that if I don’t keep Stevie G, I’m back to owning the Power 5 (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I guess…other than the fact that everyone wants that.) And I don’t get a sweet differential like AJ as my 5th attacker. So I guess I’m down to 2 options:
A) Power 5
B) Gerrard+AJ
Which one is it, fellow fantasy peeps? (and christina, if your’e on here still buddy.)
January 21 at 9:53 am
I Like Small Butts & I Can Lie says:
I don’t think Michu is worth his price tag if you’re paying the full whack.
January 21 at 9:53 am
JKisthe1 -Tel-Aviv for EUROPA - Parm and China Mag, you're going down, Zlatan, Mila is mine says:
well I like AJ and Gerrard in all honesty. It would depend on what price you bought Michu at for me
January 21 at 9:56 am
futbolnotsoccer says:
Sold him last week. Would have to buy him at full price
His fixtures look great though, it’d be a shame not have him….But I honestly don’t want to stick with the Power 5. So boring, so non-differential, so blah.
January 21 at 9:57 am
I Like Small Butts & I Can Lie says:
Not that great. Also away 4 times in his next 6 games and a home game vs Liverpool
January 21 at 10:02 am
futbolnotsoccer says:
Ugh.
. We shall see if Michu is fixture proof still then! Cheers, butts.
January 21 at 9:59 am
JKisthe1 -Tel-Aviv for EUROPA - Parm and China Mag, you're going down, Zlatan, Mila is mine says:
well if you’ll lose a lot of money getting him back then go with b. AJ has nice fixtures (I have Fletcher atm but looking at AJ GW26 when I sell him) Have you considered a different power 5 member over Gerrard for the next though?
January 21 at 10:01 am
futbolnotsoccer says:
Such as Silva or Fellaini? Which do you suggest my good sir?
January 21 at 10:04 am
Doosra - The Noble Order of Extreme Valour- FFS UEFA EPL- Season 1 Award says:
Neither, imo.
Firstly, I think Liverpool have to hit a few more bumps before they settle, and you may find that he is not the man you want. Secondly, Michu is FAR more central to Swansea.
A Johnson is someone you get in for double game weeks …

Just playing about with my WC, and thinking my team value isn’t great. Maybe I should keep Suarez and lose RVP??

Hahah, its a huge risk losing VP with his high ownership.
January 21 at 9:53 am
Serenity Now says:
RVP is on target to better last season’s points haul, I wouldn’t even think about it…
January 21 at 9:55 am
Hutton dressed as Lahm says:
BUT say you could have Aguero AND Mata rather than RVP and Ramires doesnt it make more sense?
January 21 at 9:56 am
JKisthe1 -Tel-Aviv for EUROPA - Parm and China Mag, you're going down, Zlatan, Mila is mine says:
wow, you’re tv must be really low, I have RvP, Aguero and Mata
January 21 at 9:57 am
Hutton dressed as Lahm says:
Just an example of value
January 21 at 9:58 am
Serenity Now says:
Surely you can have both RVP and Mata in your WC team? I’d drop Suarez to Sturridge rathing than losing RVP if that saved $3.1m helps you get there?
January 21 at 9:55 am
iain_90 says:
got to keep RVP.
January 21 at 9:55 am
JKisthe1 -Tel-Aviv for EUROPA - Parm and China Mag, you're going down, Zlatan, Mila is mine says:
I would rather lose Suarez. RvP is expensive but he has shown he is worth it, so much consistency plus explosiveness. I think you can match Suarez’s returns with Sturridge. You can not replicate RvP
January 21 at 9:56 am
Hutton dressed as Lahm says:
Suarez is more “explosive” imo. RVP is more consistent
January 21 at 9:59 am
Serenity Now says:
I own both, but Suarez got 1/5 Liverpool goals this week, RVP got 1/1 Man U goals…
January 21 at 10:30 am
just jerk it says:
means ManU is crap team.. why take some one from such manure
January 23 at 10:03 am

January 21 at 10:00 am
JKisthe1 -Tel-Aviv for EUROPA - Parm and China Mag, you're going down, Zlatan, Mila is mine says:
consistency > explosivity IMO. RvP can be explosive, when United actually get ruthless.

Seen him play a good few times. Can be very good but blows hot and cold. I can’t see him bothering Suarez or Sturrige too much, more like Downing and Sterling seeing more rotation

He is different class to Downing technically so agree. Could become a very potent front 3/4 at Pool
