Man United dominate the ICT Index rankings with the performances of both Wayne Rooney of Shinji Kagawa catching the eye and leaving the rest of the Premier League in their wake. All that is, except Luis Suarez who goes on producing the goods and the goals for Brendan Rodgers’ men.
Our members can examine all the numbers from the weekend action via our tables, charts and maps but, as always, we’ve handpicked some of the most notable performers on show.

Want to see all the DZers in it. 🙂
Would you prefer to have Mata and Sturridge or Sissoko and RVP for GW30 onwards?
Mata and Sturridge imo.
Mata & Sturridge.
I went with Sissoko, Suarez, Sturridge, and no Mata.
EVS, good point you cheeky little bastard.
What to do then, spit it out!
Bunn
GJ Davies Martin Harte
Bale Michu Schneiderlin
Suarez Lambert
Subs: RVP, Mata, Walcott, Demel
1FT, 0.5 banked.
Remove Mata?
Tricky - but you need more attacking threat. If you were going with 10 that included a defender short I would leave - attacking points can be high potential.
So, I would consider getting someone you can live with for a couple of weeks so its not that much of a short term trade...
Who then? Mata > Sissoko?
Good morning
Just looked about my history and it says that I have taken hit 8 times this season and every single time I've got red arrow for that week.
I suppose I should have learnt my lesson by now and pick a) ?
a) only 9 to play this week, Bale captain
b) pog => lukaku for a hit and maybe even captain him
Don't have suarez and decided to keep rvp for now.
I'd Pog -> Lukaku.
pog => Benteke ?
thanks guys, it's close call between lukaku and benteke, but I wouldn't have balls to captain benteke this gw so that's why I'm leaning towards lukaku.
He's also cheaper and I maybe bit more easy to bench in coming weeks.
Don't really want to bench anyone of mata, walcott, bale, michu, sissoko, rvp and sturridge gw30 =>
MLS Fantasy WC activated.. 😀
24 hours ago....
Why?
i hope it works out for you.
i was glad to have gone with Galaxy players today, but am now trying to figure out what to do next weekend and had a couple of punts who didn't play and need to go. it's a mess. i'll be curious to see with this few owners playing how the price rise/fall situation plays out.
Less no.of players will result low in players rise... So no worries about it.
Did you have Maggie in your team ?
yes!
to quote the chant at the stadium, "Magee is on fire!" i didn't plug him on here beforehand, but he was playing as the second forward today with Keane and he's picking up where he left off after a strong postseason last year. i suspect he'll drop back to a more true outside mid when Landon returns, but even then he seems good value.
another one worth monitoring is Sean Franklin, who is a D but was playing very advanced in the right mid position. i went with Dunivant to save the 0.5, but if today was any indication of how they're going to play this season, i may need to find that cash somewhere.
I am ditching Henry and going for Espiondola.. 😀
what's your score for the week?
Your MLS team link please..
You just want to copy his side with your WC.
don't believe me? 🙂
http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/entry/15345/history/
just signed up Friday night on a lark, and honestly can't see myself staying active with it. no point in copying my team if TM's right about your plan, as i've got to get rid of Camilo and Ante and didn't handle the GKs well, so it's not like i've figured anything out at this point, and then I'm still staring at 4 players out this week with LAG and Houston not playing.
Damn. Kudos, brohan. I had a spectacular Captaincy fail so 57 here.
Would you take a hit for a defender just to field 11?
Chetashwar Pujara -> What a hero.
Absolutely killing Australia.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2013/engine/current/match/598813.html
Can only field 9 atm with 2.FTs
Should I do RVP to Lukaku or Benteke then switch him back immediately next Gw ??
If so, Lukaku or Benteke ??
Morning DZers,
Still umming and erring with this.
Which of the following should I do? All three would be a -4.
A. Demel -> Wilson
B. Fellaini -> Sissoko
C. Mata -> Sessegnon
Would leave me with:
Fed
Davies - Shaw - WILSON
SESSEGNON - SISSOKO - Michu - Bale
Sturridge - Lambert
Jussi - Zabaleta - Jevans - Walcott - RVP
Sissoko has good fixtures. Should be the one
When is the news going to come in for DGW.
That will definetly play a part in selecting this week's team
Any chance yet that the United match still might get to be played as part of GW29?
This Elliot keeper guy from Newc...worth a punt to raise cash? Would be selling Bego.
Pardew said they hoped to have Krul back sooner than expected. Not worth the transfer at this point in the season.
Coutinho. 2 starts. 1 goal. 2 assists.
I am predictably drawn to him. One question is what happens when Sturridge comes back. On a phone right now but when I get to a computer I'm going to take a good look at his stats for that Swansea game.
Btw - remember I told you to play Gaston and bench RVP? 😉
Yep 😀
Sturridge didn't play so Gaston comes on tonight anyway 🙂
Think ima take a punt on Coutinho as well. I have a wildcard which i will probably use in about 3 weeks. Perfect time to punt.
Tendulkar out. Crowd goes silent...
morning all
already used my FT and only have 9 for this week. worth a hit?
bunn
wilson / davies
sess / michu / bale
studge / benteke / lambert
thanks
got jevans / zaba / demel / michu / walcott on bench
What's up with the following away records....
Lamb 8/12 goals away from home
Kone 5/8
Benteke 6/11
😯
Top 10k breached?
9200 all out
Will drop after tonight I suppose/auto subs
No one today?
Ah well, you're there anyway.
Mata to Nzogbia for a 1 week punt? Bought mata @ 9.9m and will get 9.9m at the moment.
Or just a Demel to Clark for free?
If you are looking for a short term punt, Coutinho fits the bill in my opinion.
Nzoggers, well we all know the story. Totally upto you.
I don't like Demel to Clark if i'm honest. See how Villa defend tonight.
I see you want to invest in relegation-battling teams too. Don't really trust Villa's defense at all. So I'd say Mata to Sess/Nzogbia if you can carry them..
Yeah, fancy Wigan(Kone/Maloney)...Nzoggers/Benteke(bought Lamb last week after his 11pts...for the second time this season...previous time after his 13pt haul vs Villa..then he scored like 12points for me in 6 weeks...sold him....rest is history.....so I suppose I need to keep for a while..lol)
Guys? I think I'm getting too punty? But it seems now, that if you have players with high ownership now, it's not really going to benefit much. This week, I had Bale, Walcott, Fellaini and Suarez, and I still dropped somehow. Sess has been doing good, but it's Sunderland. So Fellaini to Sissoko or Sessegnon?
dude u still have ur cap to play. The only arrow that matters is the one when all the games are over for the week.
Well yes, and it's Aguero. Who's yet to play. I know I'm in for a treat if he gets anything cause of his low ownership. But at the top now, almost everyone has identical teams..
Theres a good reason for this though. Most have the best players right now and with ur rank I think theres merit in having the best scoring players regardless of their ownership and look for only 1 or 2 differentials. Taking punts on cap options can also set you apart from the rest without too much risk.
I hope you get to at lest a top 1k. I agree with Phaze 1, no reason to go crazy now.
Punt on your (c) me thinks.
Cheers Christina. I was around the 300 mark just 2 or 3 weeks back. The drop has been quite heavy for me. Hence the punts. I think I've worked it out now though. It's either one of these for me. Sess and Lambert or Sissoko and Lukaku in for me. Why don't you link your team though?
Shirley suicide selling Mata prior to WEST/south/SUN/SPURS?
Not based on how he's been performing recently no matter who he seems to play against. I have to sell Mata for Sissoko to field 11 and it gives me the funds to do Sturridge/Suarez->RVP/Rooney next week. You could also say surely it's suicide to go without Man U attacking players
Of course it's suicide to go without ManU players. 😉
I'm more referring to losing Mata this week to field 11, and then to not have him for his next 4 or so fixt, especially with a DGW looming.
Not if you're getting Lampard. 😉
Damn this lack of information about blank & doubles.
Propably should have done that knee jerk Rvp => Suarez saturday.
Would have afforded to do Sturridge => Rvp for gw30 then - not anymore 🙁
Brian Mullan (Colorado Rapids) how is he ?
Here, I found these for you
http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/02/26/mls-fantasy-eastern-conference-team-team-breakdown
http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/02/25/mls-fantasy-western-conference-team-team-breakdown
should be able to make a team without much help now.
what's your team ?
Repost;
Here’s my team ATM
Vorm (wba) – Federici (AVL)
Davies (wba) – Harte (AVL) – Wilson (new)
Puncheon (nor) – Bale (liv) – Michu (wba) – Sissoko C (STK)
Sturridge (TOT) – Lambo (nor)
Not playing – RVP Zabaleta Baines and Walcott
2 things to do:
1. I want to make a short term transfer of one of the ones not playing to one who is.
2. I want to make a long term transfer to improve it.
Thanks
Morning all,
Do these moves look ok to give me this GW 's team?
Fell to Sissoko
Pog to Weiman
Bunn (Migs)
Davies - Wilson - Harte (Jevans - Zab)
Bale - Michu - Sissoko (Mata - Walcott)
Suarez - Weiman (RVP)
Cheers !
no to weiman. cut mata over fellaini so u have more to play with
Cheers. I know weiman isn't a great pick but it's just that I bought mata for 9.0 so will cost me a lot to get him back in where I can get afro back in and chels have some decent fixtures
You might not want Mata back cause he' s stats have fallen off a cliff. It jallows u to do alot more with ur team but if you think he'll come back to form then stick with ur current plan
Anyone else thought about these punts:
Fletcher
Graham
Holt/Kamara
y not?
Roscola, how many players you fielding for our Europa League showdown? 😉
Can't wait for revenge 👿
🙂 Not as many as I'd like. I'm still clinging on to the hope that City will play. If not, it's a 3-3-1 with no keeper, and two of those are against Spurs 🙁
Beau-ti-ful.
I'll be taking top stop in our group then. 😉
I'm almost certainly through to the knockout stages of the CL.
Me: 8 + Kun(c)
Forca: Zabaleta
Would put me on 12 points 😎
for this GW..... 2FT
Dzeko and Nastasic TO Benteke and Debuchy.....
Leaves team looking nicely set up for GW30 as well as 29 as Villa and newcastle have decent fixtures over the 2...
YAY or NAY?
I can't stop laughing at the movie Rush Hour.
Jackie Chan "Wassup, ma niggha" 😆
No racism intended, just quoting the movie 😉
Chris Tucker is fecking hilarious.
Btw any bundesliga experts around?
Looking for my ucl fantasy and I think I need one midfield cheapie to fund my Yilmaz => Lewadowski move.
Which one of Kehl or Alaba would you prefer?
Alaba. He plays full-back, whereas Kehl is a DM, but Alaba gets forward whereas Kehl doesn't.
As regards penalties, Müller takes them for Bayern if he's on the pitch and has started the match. If Müller's not on the pitch, or if he's only come on as a substitute, then Alaba takes them. Schweinsteiger is no longer involved from the spot.
Okay thanks a lot guys - Alaba it is!!
11 years, 2 months agoTime for work.
*Mata->Nzogbia.
DONE.
