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.
maybe harte to wilson with a view to selling begovic for someone cheaper, depending if you can sell harte for 3.9. i'd consider selling michu, i did on friday, got a bit caught out, but i personally don't see him as essential for run in. nice team tho all in all.
Open Controls
I'm in a similar boat. I'm considering swapping RVP for Ba. I'm also considering Silva to Lampard, you could maybe swap Cazorla for Lampard/Hazard since it's just for one week.
Open Controls
Anyone with Rafael, keeping or getting rid?
Thinking Sagna, then could afford Baines. 🙂Open Controls
you have just outlined my plan
I'll get DDG insteadOpen ControlsI have Jussi and Bego so with Jussi on DGW no point for me.
Open Controls
Du,ping for Riether, or however you spell his name...
Open Controls
Keeping until we have news. Dumping if there's no DGW.
Open Controls
Imagine the emotions of Daniel over the last few minutes.
Open Controls
Is that the Chelsea fan from Macedonia? with the Internazionale player as his Grav? I like his posts! He's a funny guy!! 😀
Open Controls
Why? I beg ya pardon. I haven't been here. What happened?
Open Controls
dont worry chelsea fans benitez is still your manager 😀
Open Controls
Could hear the collective sigh of relieve all the way to sweden.
Open Controls
Probably keep for now, but my patience is really tested.

'David Miliband quits after Di Canio hired'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21991812
respect to him...would love more to followOpen ControlsAs a politician he didn't really have much choice.
Open Controls
Not a politician anymore.
Open Controls
The look on Di Canio's face in that picture, is hilarious!
Open ControlsAnd yet, he stood by Blair who is a war criminal and should be impeached for what happened over Iraq.
Political point scoring, nothing more.Open Controls
Just watching MOTD. Michu should have been sent off.
Open ControlsI was thinking just that while watching in the hotel last night.
And I have him, so, phew!Open ControlsYeah he made a foul for a YC and also complaining after. Clearly a sent off Also I saw a slap
Open Controls
So should Parker - ref was lenient all game. Was good.
Open Controls
Pratik - Sorry, this isn't very good (tried to be too clever for my own good). Catch me on here tomorrow and I'll do you a better one when I'm a bit more awake.

2 keepers I have, Bunn & Mignolet. Bunn could be out soon enough with Ruddy comin back, Sunderland are a bit crap and have Chelsea up next. Should I bring in a dooblie keeper/Fab/Jaas etc this week? That's my question for the week. Savour it. Bathe in it's eloquence & probable insipid..ness. Is insipidness a word? Should I bin Bunn? Gone on a bit now. I'm insipid. Typical.
Open ControlsWait till tomorrow. if United lose bring in DDG, if not bring in Jussi
Open Controls
Insipidity?
Open ControlsBut yeah, Bunn out for DDG if you can afford him, Fabianski if you can't. Migs is guaranteed to play, so if Fabs or DDG get benched you're OK.
Open Controls
Don't do a double GK transfer unless its free and you have no other pressing matters.
Just wait till confirmation of the DGW and get in DDG (or Jaask) for Mig?Open ControlsJust want one keeper to see me thru to end of season, so Bunn or Mig's got to go. Ideally Mig-Fab so I can save some cash, but need a keeper that will play every game if I do get rid of Mig. Lind may get a few games if Utd have wrapped things up with 5 games to play, so I'm wary of bringing DDG in.
Open Controls
Sturridge > Berba a good shout for FT before he drops tonight?
Open Controls
i'd wait to see what happens with berbs tomorrow
Open Controls
I have 2 Utd and no Chelsea. I want Chelsea to win!
Open Controls
Just saw it. Not buying it. Its April fools day joke surely
Open Controls
A world without HD TV is unimaginable right now, can't watch anything not HD, how did I put up up with it for so long?
Open ControlsI'm short-sighted, so HD is no bother to me. I still have some old VHS tapes that I enjoy watching. Some films lend themselves better to a poorer picture quality. not everything should be in full HD, in my opinion 🙂
Open Controls
Maybe you won't believe me but: Rafa is the best choice that we have for the last 7 games of the season PL + EL + FA Cup. No quality around and not enough time for someone to took over and makes a change. We just play him till the end of season. Top 4 is his aim. He should succeeded.
Over and off .Open ControlsI have 2 memories of Di Canio.
The pushing of the referee obviously.
Also, the one people seem to forget. I think they were playing against Everton? Cannot recall for sure. One of the opposing teams players went down hurt and the ref waved play on. The ball was crossed to Di Canio who had an easy chance to score but he caught the ball and insisted the play was halted to go back for the injury, denying himself and his team a goal.Open ControlsHis fantastic volley?
Open ControlsDon't remember, just recall he got credit for being sporting at that moment.
Open ControlsIt was goal of the season.. 🙂
Open Controlshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS1LuSiRrLI
This was what I meant.Open Controls
...and then there's this...
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9b33s5HY5JQ/T_3KgcuizPI/AAAAAAAAAAk/yqYkms14PvU/s1600/di_canio_salute.jpgOpen ControlsLol. Ironically my grandfather was a fascist with Mussolini's Blackshirts. 😯
Open Controls
Yep, won the fair play award for that.
Don't remember *that* goal?Open Controls
I remember those ... But also the fascist salutes and unprofessional displays as Swindon manager ( I live in the West Country) . I feel sorry for sunderland fans.
Open ControlsStreet, next to Glastonbury and within stage diving distance of the Glastonbury festival. Are you local as well ( to be said in a league of gentlemen style)?
Open ControlsLol. No, I'm very much a Londoner but was born in Yeovil. One half of the family is from Exeter/Yeovil.
I went to Street a fair few times in my younger years, Clarks Village right?Open ControlsThat's the one... Yesteryear's fashions at yesteryear's prices. 😉
Open ControlsLoved how you referred to at as being near Galstonbury to give it some street cred (pun intended).
Open ControlsI didn't expect such local knowledge. Usually when I say street people don't know where it is. And yes glastonbury is far cooler , if a little magic stone shopish.
I've only lived here for a few yrs , originally from Brighton ( which is near London 😉 )Open Controls
I have to say that as well or that I'm an hour or so from Brizzel
Open Controls
Yep, my mother has a little fetish for Clarks Village.
Open Controls
What are the chances? I'm from Street as well!
Open Controls
Breaking into Swindon's offices in dead of night. 😀 Could he be a new Holloway at the Motd post match interviews?
Open Controls
Hi Jonty, I saw a while back you asked me where I was from. We actually live in the same town! I remember from when you posted on here about your dog. In fact you actually met my mum I think, when you went into the college to ask about it. Small world.
Only been to see Yeovil play a handful of times if truth be told, but thought it was a nice thing to name my team after.Open ControlsBlimey... We should meet up . You know mark and Granville right? Or is it another dan I'm thinking of?
I gave a talk to media studies students at strode last week and gave fantasy football scout a plug.Open ControlsGetting regular as clock-work mentions on the podcast these days, if that counts 🙂 The professor is the one I know in real life.
I am in essence the Granville of RMT 😉
I'm actually leaving the West Country for a month tomorrow, but yeah I'll give you a shout when I-m back 🙂Open Controls
it's a gamble of absolutely epic proportions, this will either a) work out majestically with an incredible transformation, or more likely b) utter and complete disaster accompanied by relegation and a big pay off to di canio when they realsie how big a mistake it all was, and the reputation of everybody involved ruined forever
Open Controlsmaybe, it's only sunderland i suppose. 🙂
Open Controls
West country??? My lot are from North Devon. Now that's West Country.
Nice part of the world Yeovil area though. Love the drive along the 303.Open Controls
He won a Fair Play award for it, I think.
Open Controls
I remember him throwing a tantrum on the pitch for not getting a penalty on a couple of occasions, and walking to the touchline and asking 'Arry to take him off. 'Arry wasn't having any of it and then West Ham did get a penalty and Di Canio stepped up and fired it home.
What a character. I know he holds some quite extreme views, but are we still allowed to like him?Open ControlsIt's possible to like people with views different to your own, but he's way too far I think. Nazi salutes in public and talking positively about fascism is so far past acceptable.
Open ControlsCan't a guy can point to 5 of his mates, sitting REALLY close together, without being branded a fascist?
Open Controlslol, that reminds me of an austrian politician (a current one) who did the salute and was caught on camera...afterwards he said he ordered 5 beers
Open Controlslol. an austrian guy once told me a really sad story about his grandfather who died in the war, in a concentration camp. he built it up and built it up making it into a really sad story,and then said, yeah....he fell out of a watchtower when he was drunk. 🙂
Open Controls🙂 Lol.
Open Controls
Heh, I'd forgotten all about Heinz-Christian Strache. Wasn't it only three beers though?
Open Controls
I remember watching Blackburn tub Shef Wed 7-2 in about '96,,,He was the best player on the pitch by far...oddly...
Open Controls
Once again how on the earth RVP missed that last min chance from Young's cross? Has he lost motivation? Is he ins't concentrate anymore. Does he thinks he is still at Arsenal and he needs to fail?
Open ControlsHe's probably seeing how purple he can get whiskey head Ferguson's face by the end of the season.
Open ControlsHe missed a chance. It happens.
Open ControlsPoor pass by Young and it didn't really matter. The game was over by then
Open Controls
He came up against the Mig.
Open Controls
Time for a bit of TWD.
Open ControlsBego, Bunn
GJ, Zaba, Davies, Pearce, Bertrand
Michu, Mata, Bale, Cazorla, Maloney
Rooney, Suarez, Remy
Just to check, I can get away with saving a transfer this week, right?Open ControlsTalking of HD, if you haven't seen Zulu on Blu-Ray you are missing out.. Any other classics got the same treatment? Brilliant transfer..
Open ControlsGreat films are great films.. this is one of the best transfers to blu-ray.. spectacular.. 🙂
Open Controls
I think Lawrence of Arabia is available on Blu-Ray. I've not seen it for years, but that in HD might be your thing.
Open ControlsWaiting for the anniversary edition to go down in price 🙂

Hmmm...captain dilemma this game week. Suarez at home against West Ham or Suarez at home against West Ham?
💡
Got it! Suarez at home against West Ham.
Genius!Open ControlsMata or even Bale not tempting you?
Open Controls
De Gea
Zabaleta, Wilson, Pearce
Mata, Michu, Bale, Sissoko
RVP, Benteke, Lambert
Bunn, Walcott, Evans, Davies
0.2m in the bank.
2 FT's
Shall i do:
a) Evans to Mertesacker for GW32, then Michu to Fellaini GW33?
b) Evans to Sagna for GW32. Then I have 1.2m to make changes for GW33.
or
c) Something else. Please state.
Want as many replies as possible. ThanksOpen ControlsAgain talking point but wasn't that celebration of Gerv. a Nazi one?
Open Controls
Yep
Open Controls
Guessing that Bunn will be straight back in for Swansea after Camp's blunder? Hope so because I don't really fancy playing Migs at the Bridge
Open ControlsHopefully I can squeeze one more game out of him and then he's gone
Open Controls
Bunn will start before Camp.
Huoton will say in his presser whether Ruddy is fit. Should be all nice and clear by the end of the week, one way or the other.Open ControlsCool beans
Open Controls
Going to WC before GW33, what's a player you'd take a punt on for GW32?.....
Open ControlsFPL showing United AND Chelsea having 2 fixtures for GW33, guess it'll be sorted after tomorrow's result

Open Controls
I live on a street, yes.
Open ControlsBlimey! Clearly the Fantasy Football capital of the world! I'm 23 and I went through Crispin etc about 7 or 8 years ago!
You've got a nice rank as well, so between you me and Jonty is it possible that Street is the highest ranked town in the U.K.?Open Controls23 eh? I'm 23 too. What are the chances? Pretty high, I guess.
Classy rank Jonah!Open ControlsMust be something in the water down here! I'm 28 and I saw how well you're doing - I was going to comment on your team but never got round to it!
Open ControlsHave to look at the leagues you're in and see if I know anyone 🙂
Open Controls
Schneiderlin, thoughts?
Also, what are Sissoko owners doing? Shipping for DGWer, or keeping for FUL at home...?Open ControlsKeeping for now then most likely shipping for Fellaini
Open Controls
Didn't get to watch the game, but does Studge looks like he'll continue to be benched?
Great news for Suarez owners, I guess.Open Controls
Any ideas, currently- cesar, Davies, sagna, evra, snodgrass, sissoko, cazorla, bale, Suarez, sturridge and Rooney. Walcott as first sub and oshea & 2 cheapuns.. 0.5 in the bank and 1ft having used wildcard already.. Also, chances of evra starting upcoming fixtures again?
