The Big Numbers – Gameweek 27

With tomorrow night’s Upton Park clash to come, our ICT Index rankings are currently dominated by two Spanish playmakers as both Santi Cazorla and David Silva lead the way off the back of their match-winning contributions. With two-goal strikers Romelu Lukaku and Arouna Kone also pressing for recognition, our rankings reflect a Gameweek where the differential came good, leaving established Fantasy favourites falling short.

Our members can examine the numbers behind the Gameweek in full via the members area tables and match dashboards and, as always, we’ve picked out a selection of stats that have caught our eye…

    I must say I agree. Michu would be the only one I'd consider. Possible hangover after the joy of the cup? Tough decision though.

32 points this week which gives me a Gameweek rank of 1,200,000 and yet I moved from 6,100 to 5,700.

This proves that among the active managers the 'real' average is probably somewhere around 18-22 points I would guess.

Never would believe it's possible to get a green arrow outside the top 1 million. Crazy week!

Team for next gw:

Michu Walcott Mata Bale
RvP Sturridge Fletcher

Fed Sissoko Pearce Turner

Not sure what to do with my FT. Was thinking Fabio -> Wilson. Fletcher -> Lambert is another option but Fletchers fixtures are great and he has to start scoring again some time!

    This. Worst case scenario, I miss out on one big haul. It's not like his price is going to skyrocket with the blank. I figure he'll fall .2 minimum between now and then, so worst case scenario I sell at 13.5 and get him back at 13.8. In the mean time I have two matches from Suarez instead of 14 million on my bench.

  I think it is a longer term issue-- choose to keep him through the two weeks he will probably miss (norwich then a probable blank GW)... can your team absorb 14 mil on the bench for two stratight weeks? Plus will he ever regain his high form if MU are sort of cruising at that point? Especially if they get past Real M in CL...

Instead of removing RVP, how do these transfers look for a hit, enabling me to bench RVP next 2.

Schneiderlin+Podolski > Sissoko+Sturridge (-4)

Bale, Mata, Walcott, Michu, Sissoko
RVP, Sturridge, Lambert.

Lambchop is getting tough to ignore. I must say the timing is my worse enemy this year. I had Lambert for almost 10 weeks and he scored once or so. Also I had Rafael for 10 weeks all 1, -1 or 0. I must pick up from here. I think its time for Lambchop and Rooney. Now is the timing no?

Sturridge Lambert my strikers next week (Bale Fella Michu Mata Walcott are the others)

Who should I captain?

Lambert, Sturridge or maybe Fellaman?
