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.
what's the deal with Sagna guys. Is he gonna be nailed on going forward now? both games for the double?? wanting to bring him, don't have the funds for Mert..

So who wants Chelsea to win? (Utd DGW)
Who wants United to win? (Chelsea DGW)Open Controls
I'd like to see Chelsea win with a blatantly offside goal in the 95th.minute, just to see SAF's reaction. Picking players from either side for the double, especially Chelsea, will be a nightmare so in FPL terms it doesn't make any difference to me personally.

Thank you to PsychoBingo who replied earlier, if you're still about. Really understood what I was talking about! 😉
Am wildcarding in GW33. 0 in the bank.
A. Bale -> Hazard
B. Bunn -> Robles
C. If you can see anything obvious, please let me know!
Bunn
Zabaleta – Mertesacker – Enrique
Cazorla – Michu – Sissoko – Bale
Lambert – RVP – Sturridge
Jussi – Walcott – Davies – ShawOpen Controls@Christina
Did ok, not too good. 45 + Berb(c) to go.
My transfers paid off though. Did Walcott -> Santi and sold Rooney instead of RVP for Berbatov so all in all, i am not too dissatisfied.Open ControlsCool.
Open ControlsHow about yourself?
Open Controls75 all out.
Hoping for a berba 2 pointer.
😉Open Controlsno hits.
Open ControlsBloody hell, well done. Everyone has done well.
On a poor form streak. 5 out of last 7 gws have been red.
Hopefully, i'll have a good run in.Open ControlsYeah, small difference between good/bad for you guys that are ranked so high.

Really tempted by a Sturridge > Ba transfer, fancy him against Sunderland and will have Spurs plus 15 or so mins V Fulham next week, then transfer out.
Other options Berba (not overly keen on fixtures) Kone (keep for 36) Lambert (great fixtures but no double) Tevez (risky, Utd next, could explode)Open ControlsBerba no brainer. Amazing dgw
Open ControlsThing he has hasn't looked good for Chelsea either..
Open ControlsCall me crazy, but I'm also keen on some Citeh action.
Jinswick did great with Silva this week, but he has a WC active at the moment.Open ControlsWas temptedby Sturridge > Tevez for a hit this week, should have done it, great scoring pal.
Open ControlsThks, nice going yourself.
Another top 1k in reach for you.Open Controls
City from GW34 I think, Chris. Might double on the defence with Clichy & Zab, depending on the forward situation and Kun's fitness.
Open ControlsYeah, Tevez keeps on doing well.

Migs
GJ Evans Wilson
Bale Santi Michu Siss
RVP Berbatov Sturridge
xx Gaston Clyne Harte
6.5, 1 ft, and a wc in the bank..
Got a few options..sturridge -> Suarez for one..and Siss -> Che midfielder another..
What would you do?Open ControlsAlternatively, i could keep Studge and gamble on Coutinho and hope that these two cover Luis..
Open ControlsIt's a big call on Suarez, as he will prob pick up YC and be susp...but you have WC.
When are you WC?Open ControlsProbably 33 i think. 36 is too late to press home an advantage i think.
Open Controls
Don't touch siss with that fixture...
Either Michu for hazard or Stu to SuarezOpen Controls
About 5 hours to go to the FA Cup replay, I am just as itch to hit the WC button should MUN win. Evans needs to be shipped off RIGHT NOW. Also, what are Sturridge owners looking to do with him?
Open ControlsWe have very similar teams..i will wait to hear from Rodgers..he did not mention Sturridge in the post match interview..
Open ControlsI was furious when the lineup was announced. Kept cursing myself how I should have kept Suarez over him, all because of cost and his likelihood of fantasy explosion - if that's the right way of saying it.
Are you still adopting the Jonah's plan? I think teams with quite a handful of DGWers should not WC this GW33. It will be a waste.Open ControlsI don't think i am wc this gw. Team is in good shape. Probably 33 i think.
Open Controls
if berbatov does well and looks like he's going to rise, i'm trading sturridge for berba. if he stays quiet and his price stays the same, i'm gonna hold onto sturridge for one more gw.
Open Controls
i'm keeping this week, hoping that sturridge will play against west ham at anfield. later will transfer him out for berbatov
Open ControlsYou know, if Sturridge were to compensate for all of our losses, he would have to do the right thing by getting his owners a hat-trick or four goals and a pair or trio of assists against WHM. He drew blanks and then a non-starter in the last few weeks. That's more than enough for us to make the RIGHT decision on him.
Open Controls
Mad to drop Bale on his current form?
Zero in the bank and am thinking if a one week punt before I wildcard.
Bunn
Zabaleta – Mertesacker – Enrique
Cazorla – Michu – Sissoko – Bale
Lambert – RVP – Sturridge
Jussi – Walcott – Davies – ShawOpen ControlsMad to drop Bale.
Open ControlsShaddap
Open ControlsKeep bale
Open Controls
get michu out instead of bale
Open Controls
Well if you're gonna Wildcard to get Bale back anyway, you're losing value on him. Is it worth it? I don't quite know at the moment, but I'd suggest keeping Bale in there just to save your funds anyway. Also Michu has to go, so you don't HAVE to drop Bale 😛
Open Controls
Repost.
Hey guys, how do you think this team looks for the DGW 33?
Jaaskelainen–Cerny
Clyne–Sagna–Martin.R–Samba–Davies
Walcott–Fellaini–Mata–Cazorla–Bale
Suarez–RVP–Pogrebynak
Regardless of who wins the FA Cup Replay I will have 6 DGW players.
Please let me know what you guys think.. Cheers! 🙂Open ControlsLooks ok, at least from my perspective. You'll know who you're benching lol
Open Controlsi want to suggest pog -> berba but then you will have headache on who to bench

Open Controls
Was going to say CHE but with the adrenaline boost the SUN players will get from mad Paolo at the helm who knows.
I would say LIV vs WHAM (Suarez (c) )Open Controlsplus reading v southampton
Open ControlsOh THAT kind of punt. Well yea the obvious captain is Suarez for sure, and sadly the punts this week will probably be any of the rest of the Liverpool point getters. And Bale.
There was a study done a while back on how long managers take to get their influence into the team, and it seems that 2 games is the average. So we can expect Reading to put up a fight v Southampton now and Sunderland to crumble to Chelsea.
Who starts for Chelsea though it's a punt itself.Open Controls
I think we may see another lethargic performance from Chelsea after their games this week.
Open Controlsthey will keep playing badly until rafa get sacked. players power 😀

bego
zaba, clyne, riether
bale, michu, santi, sissoko
rvp, sturridge, lambert
subs: bunn, maloney, davies, harte
looks likely that i'll keep my FT this week, and do michu -> fellaini, sturridge -> berba and harte -> sagna for the dgw33. the only concern is no chelsea cover. thoughts?Open ControlsI would worry about no CHE cover after the FA cup result today,if UTD win then you may need to reshuffle the pack accordingly (but also factor in their Europa league game mid week).
Hazard and/or Lamps look strong options if you should go down that route.Open Controlsmost probably sissoko to lampard if i decide to get a chelsea cover, but newcastle's fixture is not that bad actually. dgw33 they will play sunderland at home
Open Controls
Sounds good, depending on your perspective of dealing with risk. If you're a "not touching it if not 100%" person, no Chelsea is the way to go here. Sure you won't pick up Giroud instead? 2 Home games seem more profitable offensively than defensively..
Open Controlsi have giroud for arsenal's dgw25, and keep him until gw28. imo he is too wasteful in front of goal. hopefully santi and most probably walcott will be enough to cover for arsenal
Open ControlsThat is completely understandable. But what do you think of your view on having Chelsea assets? I'm only limiting myself to Mata (only if Chelsea get a DGW)
Open Controlsnot have enough fund to get hazard/mata. unless i downgrade rvp to suarez/rooney, lampard would be my best bet. other option is bale -> mata/hazard which is very unlikely i'll do it though
Open Controlsmata had an enough rest i think. he will be rafa's main player for the next few games as all these matches will determine chelsea's season
Open ControlsI guess. But would you invest in Chelsea at all? How about more Everton or even West Ham? I'm only suggesting these because you don't seem set on a Chelsea player at the moment. To me Chelsea assets are risky as no one is indicated to have 2 games bar Cech. So you'd have to tell me what you think of whether ANYONE in chelsea will play 2 games
Open Controls
A) Sissoko and Benteke > Nolan and Suarez
B) Davies and Benteke > Demel and Suarez
Can't see any other way of fitting Suarez inOpen Controlsno need to get suarez until he get his suspension. i would do sissoko to fellaini instead, and definitely keep benteke

I don't normally ask for help, but I'm currently 2nd in the weekly Sky game (14 points behind) and because it's a new month I have 5 transfers max I could use to bring in players from tonight's game.
I don't know if 1st place is also going to use their transfers to get the obvious players like Berbatov which would cancel me out, or I could go crazy and fill up on one defence hoping for a clean sheet and 35 points. Ideally it's just a random team that Marlene isn't paying attention to and has had all it's points it's getting.
http://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/leaderboard/weekly/Open ControlsDid anyone watch the whm game? How was Nolan looking?

Good morning to all, how's everyone doing today? 🙂
So, I need an advice from you guys :
1) Should do Walcott -> Felaini for gw33 and (90% leaning to) Mata -> Cazorla ?
2) Is Suarez -> Berbatov worth -4 hit for GW33 or maybe Benteke -> Bulgarian ?
3) My defence are : Davies,Zab, Debuschy, R.Martin and Harte. If Debuschy fails to recover for upcoming weekend, whom should I buy then ?
thx in advance 😉Open Controls1) Not yet Wave, wait for Walcott news. Or at least delay to the final seconds of the week
2) Neither really. With a -4 at stake I can't see Berba getting 4 more points than Suarez (considering Suarez plays Reading and Reading's new manager is an attacking kind). Benteke is a coin flip, but I feel that wasting another transfer just to bring Berba out of your squad probably would prompt me to keep Benteke (especially since you're moving for Fellaini etc.)
3) Sagna if you don't have 3 Ars. Otherwise Clyne or Wilson for budget options, Liverpool def for something slightly more expensive.Open Controls1) Waiting, the most difficult part of this game... 😀 Yeah, def have to wait for next gw to see how things will work out, but money loss is so fustrating -.-
2) Good thinking, I believe Villa will fight until the very last minute of season to remain in Premiership, but if Suarez gets his 10th YC, then he is out for Berba, and later for Kone (GW36).
3) I have Fabianski as goalkeeper, so probably will be Wilson. But Clyne is also good option, thanks for directing me to that.
And - thx for feedback, really appreciate it 🙂Open Controls
1) Not until we have more news on Walcott
2) Yep
3) Che/Utd defender, depending on who ends up with DGW33Open Controls1) Def have to wait to see what's up with his injury. Wenger said he should be ok for this GW.
2) If Suarez gets 10th yc, this is def out for Berba 33 to Kone 36 combo
3) That would be hard to manage, since there is no safe spot in both squads (except GKs, but I have Fabianski for that).
thx for feedback, really appreciate it 🙂Open Controls
1. no. i'd keep if he's fit.
2. i have suarez & benteke too, and would prefer suarez > benteke so i can use the extra cash to upgrade elsewhere. here's hoping a YC for him GW32 😉
3. mert/sagnaOpen Controls*suarez > berba
Open Controls
Mornin'
1. Wait on Theo. Keep Mata if Chelski have a DGW.
2. Depends on the value you will lose and if he gets a suspension. If he's playing Reading away it would be madness to ship!
3. Sagna/Distin/budgetOpen Controls
Chances of Fellaini dropping to 7.2 before the DGW?
Open ControlsUnlikely. Will fall to 7.3 if you are lucky.
