The Big Numbers – Gameweek 28

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.

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

      Him: 10pts
      Me: benteke to play

          This is correct. Doubt they will change it now. Like with previous cases, the Dubious goals panel will review it and change it to a Bale OG, which will be too late to affect FPL. Which is wrong, but that's how it goes

          They still can up until the GW has closed. But it's never happened before with goals, only assists have been corrected like this in the past.

          Probably, yeah. But they may not have got to doing that yet, maybe they'll do it today.

          I don't really think it should, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it stays and gets given as a Bale og by the dubious goals panel whenever they next meet.

    Those who are (considering) targetting Sess, is it because he looks like he will score well over the next 2, purely due to a lack of alternatives, or because of nostalgia from the Sunderland DGW this year and last year's points?

    For me it's a mixture of the first 2, except it's mainly his fixtures I like rather than his form. Considering Wally > Sess to field 11.

    The alternative is to sell RVP for Suarez, probably for one week unless United stay in the CL.

            Selling Wally for Sess seems silly as I will only need to spend a transfer getting him back for the good fixtures and DGW.

            That extra transfer could be used to get an extra DGWer which would probably yield more points.

            It's hard to know where the cut-off point is for targeting a player for 1 GW. At what point should you consider just keeping the transfer? Sess isn't that bad though - his goal threat isn't that dissimilar to Sissoko, who EVERYONE is targeting.

              As you say I don't want to regret bringing in 1 player for a punt when I don't really see him in there long term , luckily I have 10 anyways ,
              Onouha is becoming a problem but for me just using mty Ft Fella > Sissoko should cover the bases this week bearing in mind that there will be quite a few -4/-8 hits knocking about your off to a decent start already.

                Good point.

                Funnily enough, I was strongly considering keeping Suarez and fielding 10 in GW27. I did Suarez > Lambert (11, 2) so I guess I can't complain.

                Difference is, Lambert was (and is) a great pick

              Don't say this! It was the only doubt when buying him.

              That said, my two alternatives (Bego and DDG) are probably equally at risk of being dropped.

          If he starts the same amount as Suarez, you have to back Sturridge to match Suarez*. Imagine if Sturridge had playes vs. Wigan - surely you can imagine him scoring a brace?

    It may come as a surprise to you that a defender has been the top scoring player of the week more times than a striker this season...

            There's still a chance united could play GW29, very unlikely but they need 7 days notice before the game takes place.

          United dgw in gw30 surely can't happen due to internationals?

          For United everything depends on CL progress. I expect a late season DGW if United beat Madrid

    Think i am almost there on my plans for gw29:

    bunn
    cueller harte davies
    michu bale
    sturridge

    non players: rvp fellaini walcott maloney giroud onouha baines...luckily have 2FT's

    A: giroud + fellaini/maloney + baines/onouha >> augero + sissoko + wilson (if city plays)
    B: giroud + fellaini/maloney + baines/onouha >> benteke + sissoko + wilson (if city doesn't play)

    good transfes?

    Will decide which of fellaini/maloney and baines/onouha to get rid of later...focusing on which players to bring in

    Those considering hits this GW....
    Remember that the teams with no games have good fixtures
    The teams with fixtures are apart from Liv Spurs fighting for survival

    I can see tight games this weekend and higher scorers in the doubles

    9 players this week isn't so bad especially if it leaves a minimum of 5 Dgw ers

    Taken an early hit, couldn't be bothered waiting it out, stupid risky etc

    Setting my team up like this, hoping the United game still goes ahead. Will only have 9 players this game week even with these transfers:

    Walcott, giroud and pogrebynak > N'Zogbia, Lukaku and Suarez

    De Gea/Federici
    Wilson Mariappa Davies Evra
    Michu Bale N'Zogbia
    Suarez Lukaku RVP

    Demel Fellaini Mata

    Lots of hope still resting on the United game, very bleak outlook though.

    Thoughts?

          They play Sunday-Saturday

          It would mean a Weds night fixture with 60 hours rest

              Exactly it's the fact they were both due to shown on tv, if they weren't we would've already found out. Plus I think despite the amount of rest we'd still rather get the game out of the way. Not like we don't have the squad to deal with a tight fixture schedule.

          City have no midweek game this week, as ManU do, then have an easier cup game followed by a 7 day break. More likely imo

            Completely agree.

            I feel pretty certain the City game goes through, its so obvious considering they have a week with nothing. and they would love to be one game ahead of United to keep up the pressure a bit.

            Watch the site explode when City assets come in for contention for Wigan(home). Save your transfers people!
