Another classy display from Santi Cazorla sees the Spaniard lead the way in this week’s ICT Index figures, holding off the charge from West Ham’s Andy Carroll and Sunday’s efforts from Luis Suarez. As always, our members are free to investigate all the Opta data from around this weekend’s matches in our members area. However, we’ve put in some leg work on their behalf, picking out the numbers that piqued our interest, whilst pointing out some statistical trends over the last four and six Gameweeks.
BOO!

Sounds like Coleman could be very handy next season if he's classed as a defender.
Open Controls
He was listed as a defender in past seasons and had been quite handy then. Im sure it will be a brilliant prospect again.
Open Controls
Coutinho FTW! He'll be the end of season Michu.
Open Controls
Repost from earlier I just want to get more votes! 😀
Who will win the NZ playoffs?
Ryan) 17pts
Bonz) 14pts + Remy
Lawro) Berbatov(c)
Yes this has been simplified 🙄Open Controls
Bonz
Open Controls
Bonz has a good chance. But I am hoping that you win it, Berba (c) all the way!
Open Controls
Good luck Lawro!
Open Controls
Bit harsh not to mention Eboue on 16pts.
Open Controls
Evo Lawro have you discounted Eboue?

Has Cazorla been the signing of the summer?
I know Michu got more goals, but he has been playing as a striker...
I think Cazorla is a better signing.Open Controls
Benteke. Villa would already have been relegated without him
Open Controls
dembele or vertonghen should be in the mix
I agree cazorla is a fantastic signingOpen Controls
Obviously biased but both Vertonghen and Lloris are up there for me.
Open ControlsNo as he is responsible for unleashing a poster more deflating than you in your pomp on FFS
Open Controls
Both very shrewd. Cazorla is the better player by quite a distance to my eye. Cazorla is a £20M+ player I think, acquired on the cheap. Michu is a £10Mish man (hark at me and my valuations!) - so again - both incredibly good buys... Clear to me who the better player is though.
Open ControlsNot saying he's not good - he is - but he's also a little bit flat-track bully too. Although I guess you could say that about Arsenal in general this season.
Open ControlsYou certainly can! ...I think that would be truly remarkable though... a player to come in and first season win big games for his team. Not many have done that. Mata took time to settle into the league, Silva too... Be interesting to see how he kicks on next season I think (and Giroud too - who I think could become a bit of a player).
Open ControlsYeah I do think Giroud could be excellent. Not going to be in the RVP/Henry lineage of former strikers but could be as good as Ade was at his peak.
Open Controls
what a first post to see on log on. god... Giroud is awful! absolutely hideous clumsy lump of a striker.
agree with all else. Cazorla, all classOpen Controls😆 i've watched him from season start thinking he was a nice price for arsenal only striker... still haven't owned him for a single gameweek. he's a less strong, less skillful point man striker... back to goal strikers need to have a lot more about them. stand by my point. guy's a mess 🙂
Open Controls
Yeah, he maybe hasn't got enough years left to get to that level (late starter). But funnily there are lots of similarities with RVP. Technique wise, how he plays back to goal, instinctive ball-striking, selfishness. But he doesn't have anyway near the focus of RVP. Hoping that's something that comes as he gets older.
Open Controls
I'm a big Cazorla fan - the guy is sheer class
Open ControlsEvery time I watch Michu I think "What a f****** donkey". Yes, he gets the fantasy points but he just looks like a total tool.
Cazorla on the other hand has class oozing out every available orifice in his body.
Yes Ron, Santi is the better signing. He's one of the best midfield players on the planet whilst Michu is an inconsistent, profligate shooting star (but thanks for all the points anyway mate!).Open Controls
Benteke for me.
As Andy1 says he's the only thing stopping Villa already being relegated.
Then Michu, then Santi.Open Controls
RVP is the signing of the season. 15pts difference
Open Controls
That Jelavic stat makes me doubt Anichebe 🙁
Open Controls
Guys,
How the heck did Evans seemingly only play 59 minutes !??Open Controls1min silence
Open Controls
Alright, I had enough with Evans. Baines is the best defender to bring in at the moment?
Open Controls
Bench 2 please
a) Azpilcueta (h) to Sunderland
b) Zabaleta @ United
c) Sagna @ WBA
d) Dawson (h) to Everton
e) Clyne @ ReadingOpen ControlsHow can Arteta get 3 baps and gervinho one????
Open ControlsGervinho is very wasteful, lots of shots off target to reduce the ppi gained from a goal and 2 assists.
Open Controls+1
Also Arteta deserves something for being stuck at DM all seasonOpen ControlsI agree Arteta is quality in there, but it doesn't translate to FPL points. Not many people are going to have DM's in their squad
Open Controls
Doesn't make sense to me. I've got Cazorla and expected him to get 2 behind Gervinho. He got two but behind Arteta. I don't have access to the detailed PPI, but it all seems very odd
Open ControlsIts based on a whole load of stats, not just goals and assists,
Open ControlsYeah I know, but as I said, DM's generally don't rack up points - Arteta must have made a hell of a lot of interceptions
Open Controls
I've never liked that rule, I'd go the other way...the more shots the more PPI, even if half the shots end up on row Z....Why is a one shot one goal player worth more than somebody who is a constant threat and has to work for his goal...
Open ControlsIts difficult to judge, if the shots are awful like many of the Forehead's it doesn't really justify positive PPI. There are times when a player has a great individual moment but his shot narrowly misses. They shouldn't lose PPI for that but its an issue with the system as only someone watching the game would be able to pick up on things like that.
Open Controls
Hey guys I'm going to save my free tran in gw32, so i have 2 frees in gw33.
Would u sell Michu or Suarez or Bale (if Chel beat utd) made a bit of dosh on these 3.
I want to get Walcot, Afro & Berbs for the DGW, already have Monreal, Baines Santi, & (Rvp)
I'm thinking sell R Kanu & Suarez for Afro & Berbs, then i might take a 4pt hit if Bego has a blank might get Schwarzer.Open Controls
Game of Thrones Season 3 premiere tonight 😀
Open ControlsYou are in the UK yeah? I thought we had to wait until the Monday to see it online?
Open Controls
I'm in Ireland. Your right but it's on in America tonight. 2am or something. I'll watch it first thing tomorrow and then there's the Fa cup 😀
Open ControlsExcellent. The last episode was good. I want the governor taken out though. He is annoying as fook.
Open Controls
Torrent sites have all new shows up within an hour of it being aired. I watched the Breaking Bad Season 5 premiere on AMC website live, I had to give a postcode and phone number so gave 90210 as postcode and googled a Beverly Hills phone number 😆

Classy!
Did you watch the first episode of Revolution? Gus Frings is in it.Open ControlsJust going to watch it now - is it worth it?
Open ControlsI'll let you know, two first two episodes to watch plus Friday's Walking Dead
Open Controls
Never heard of it, do you recommend it? I'm currently on Season 3 of The Wire so will be watching that for the foreseeable future
Open ControlsIt premieres tonight mate so not sure how good it's gonna be but heard it could be a good watch.
Open ControlsSweet, i will keep an eye out for sure. Gus was a great character, one of the best on-screen villains for sure
Open ControlsHe was my favourite for sure. No one can be that dark and menacing and be likeable at the same time. His acting was flawless.
Open ControlsIf you want dark and menacing and be likeable how about this, Heisenberg like a boss

This dgw stuff is hateful. Anyone else in love with their players and finding parting hard to contemplate? How can I sell Clichy? But RVP... hrrrmmm....

Need to squeeze in Cazorla before he rises too much....

Jose Enrique, Pearce, Wilson.
Bale, Mata, Townsend, Michu.
Van Persie, Suarez, Berbatov.
de Gea, Walcott, Davies, Clichy.
1FT; Nothing in the bank, wildcarding next week.Open ControlsHe's only on 20% for a rise atm, relax, get ready for tomorrow and worry about it later. There's CL and Europa games yet as well, something could happen to Mata or Bale that could make the call for you.
He's nowhere near a rise, worry about it on Friday unless he gets a massive influxOpen Controls
Is there any chance that Onouha play tomorrow for QPR???
Open ControlsSunderland AFC have confirmed the appointment of Paolo Di Canio as Head Coach on a two and a half year deal.
Open ControlsWell, this should be fun.
Think he'll keep them up and then punch Cattermole and storm out next season.Open ControlsMakes sense, he has much the same attributes as Martin Allen who has saved us, barnet, on many occasions. Loud and authoritative, those players will do what they are told and believe in themselves.
Open Controls
Does anyone have any idea why the extra City game hasn't been given a date yet?
Can anyone remember where the notion that it would go in gameweek 36 first came from?Open ControlsNo idea, but my theory is that they are waiting for the outcome of the replay and will schedule both at the same time
The theory comes from the fact that's the the GW the Wigan match has gone into, they often try to get all these matches done in one go at this stage of the season.Open ControlsOK thanks guys. Sounds like it may still go in there then.
Open Controls
I'd play your wildcard in GW33 if I were you. Outstanding rank by the way and I'm doubly pleased for you as I was born in Yeovil!
Open Controls
Top 10. U r crazy. What is your next move. WC in GW 32? I think that is the right call
Open ControlsSee how things go tomorrow. There are many thing which could shift it. Will probably push the button tomorrow if Chelsea win it, because I quite fancy having some of their players against Sunderland this week.
Open ControlsThe issue I have is that many of the DGW teams don't have great fixtures in GW32
Open ControlsSo you think GW 33 is the better one? Could be, means you will have more info on potential injuries, cards, etc. But next week is gonna be high scoring. Always good when u play WC in a high scoring GW. Dividends paying of right away
Open ControlsGW 32 is gonna be high scoring that is
Open Controls
SAFC have made what I can only describe as a 'flair' appointment.
Fair play to them 😀Open ControlsNutters
Open Controls
Seeing the stats. RVP and Suarez are so gonna explode one of the next weeks, probably the next one. I think owning both of them should be must.
Open ControlsYeah him is worrying me. If Utd don't have double I think I will have to do the swap. RVP to Suarez. But RVP has 17shots and 8 on target without scouring. Surely explosion imminent !!!
Open Controls
Miliband resigns over Di Canio.
Good on him.
