There were some unfamiliar names on top of the ICT Index this week, snuggled alongside the return to form of Carlos Tevez and Leighton Baines, while Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie again provided shifts to acquire another wave of Fantasy attention. The Members Area is packed with the latest data from the weekend’s games and our Big Numbers article has picked through the goodies to find the stats that caught our eye…
last two games were shockers... was surprised he wasn't dropped for the derby

I fear not having Bale this week so I think I'll do Cazorla > Bale
Open ControlsHey folks
I have 1 FT and £0.4m in the bank.
Foster, Begovic
Baines, Davies, Demel, Cuellar, Gorkks
Nolan, Cazorla, Michu, Bale, Guthrie
Ba, RVP, Aguero
Was thinking of this for a hit:
Out: Cazorla, Davies
In: Morrison, Rafael
Thank youOpen Controls🙄
Open Controls
There are seriously no good defenders for 4.5m
Cuellar/Cameron/Baird are all average. Not many bargains in defence this season 🙁
need a replacement for WIlson. SO difficult 🙁Open ControlsMorrison was playing deep yesterday with Gera in the hole?!
Open ControlsYip.
Open ControlsSsshhh 😉
Open ControlsSadly, Yes. Unhappy Morrison owner here. 🙁
Open Controlsyou think it will stay like that Aatish?
Open ControlsUntill Yakob is back I think he'll play as a DM.
Open Controlsthanks, any idea of his return date as I am debating one of Mcanuff / Morrison and now Gera
Open ControlsI'm having a look at Kightly myself...good player, never really got a look in at Wolves, but I think he'll do well at Stoke.
Open ControlsHe is looking good.. another to take a look at..
have him in the sky game from the beginning as recall someone at the start said.. kightly is a defender grab him so I did.. done well for me there..Open Controls
Sterling(as boring as it might sound)?
NEW/WIGAN/swans/SOUTH/west/VILLA/FUL in next 9Open ControlsI have Sterling already but thanks
Open Controls
ta..
Open Controls
Foster | Begovic
Baines | Iva | Demel | Jenkinson | Gorkks
Ben Arfa | Cazorla | Michu | Bale | Guthrie
Jelavic | Torres | Giroud
Suggestions please
had a terrible game week despite captain bale scoring 14 Points 🙁
Suddenly i don't like my team 🙁Open Controlsweak forwards, ba, tevez, rvp are the top 3 and u have none of them mate
Open ControlsI would remove Torres first get Tevez/Crouch/Defoe/Suarez or a fit Ba. Alternatively you can downgrade Ivanovic to 4.5 and upgrade Torres to RVP maybe?
Open ControlsThanks mate
Open Controls
Ben Arfa , Cazorla, Giroud, Guthrie all shud go out.. Mata/Oscar, Tevez, Sterling, Defoe/Ba.. you have so many options..
Open Controls
Is Baines vital for the next few GWs? Have him and Pienaar, but dropping him to say Rafael frees up £££ to boost my mid. Only worry is most rivals have him, and Everton look to have a decent run of fixtures..
Open ControlsHaving baines is like having a midfielder 😉
Open ControlsI'm thinking of getting him in for Rafael actually.
United defence is muck and unless Rafael gets an assist or goal he won't do much. Baines is like a genuine midfielder plus on pens and you have more faith in an Everton cleanie these days than a Utd one.
Plus, Baines is in no way subject to rotation risks at all.Open Controls
Bego/Foster
Wilson/Baines/Hughes/Cuellar/Demel
Cazorla/Mata/Nolan/Bale/Sterling
Aguero/Berb/Jelavic
2Fts
Me thinks: Cazorla to Lallana and then wait on Berb news? I can delay removing Wilson by a week cause I'd be reasonably happy playing Baines, Hughes, Cuellar. I also realize that this team has a big RVP shaped hole and might bring him in if Berb is fit.
Thanks for the help as always.Open ControlsDidn't keep up with the football much at the weekend other than our game, couple of questions...
What happened to Wilson? Brought him in this week to double up on Stoke defence.. Is he out for long?
Are Ba and Berb injured? I need to ship Podolski asap and would have been bringing in one of these two.
Cheers guys.Open Controlshey guys..sorry for asking again..but i really need your help with this 🙂
should i bring in tevez or stick with jelavic bearing in mind the fixtures
jelavic-fulham,sunderland,reading,norwich,arsenal
tevez-westham,tott,astvilla,chelsea,wiganOpen Controlsthank you 🙂

Morning fellow zoners.
Think I need to play my WC now as prices are getting out of control now. Current team is:
Foster, Green
Wilson, Rafael, Cuellar, Demel, Cole
Santi, Bale, Guthrie, Pienaar, Ben Arfa
RVP, Berbatov, Lambert
thinking of wwildcarding to this lot, or similar:
Begovic, Foster
Baines, Nelsen, Cuellar, Williamson, Hughes
Bale, Mata, Lallana, Sterling, Morrison
RVP, Ba, Crouch
Reckon its time to pull the trigger and start moving up the ranks?Open ControlsI wouldn't WC. Transfer wilson out later you can play the other 3 this week. I would do Ben Arfa to Lallana/Morrison and use the money to upgrade Lambert to whoever you want. The core of your team is pretty good so there's no need to Wildcard IMO
Open ControlsWant Mata, so may do Santi to Mata and maybe Lambert to Crouch then?
Open Controls
So if money is no object who would you say is the best newc def to have.. I think they are all good value.. Colo is the biggest attacking threat no? Haven't checked the stats
Open Controlssanton
Open Controls
What's everyone doing with Ba?
Will probably keep if he's out for 2 or less but in case he's out for 3+ games:
Already have attacking cover from Man U (RVP), Che (Mata), Ars (Cazorla), Spurs (Bale) and Everton (Pienaar).
Don't have any cash so has to someone for 8.2m or less.
Options:
A) Defoe (double up on Spurs) +0.3m
B) Crouch (good fixtures but don't like Stoke's attacking options) +1.4m
C) Berb (maybe injured) +1.1m
D) Long (cheap, differential, decent fixtures) +2.1mOpen ControlsOk I have just updated my notes as follows for the next few weeks.. (limiting hits and only taking when absolutely necessary)
Vorm to Tremmel
Ivan to Colo / Santon
Guthrie to McAnuff / Morisson
Ba to Jelly
Lambert to Ba when he is backOpen Controlsassuming Ba is out for a couple of GW's that is
Open ControlsWhat's the rest of your team like mate?
Open Controls- Open Controls
That's a wicked rank mate, Good going, Why not take Lambert off? I know his fixtures are good, but after 4 blanks, I would show him the exit, With the 1.2 in bank, Why not get Berba? Stick with Ba, I wouldnt transfer him out unless the injury is bad
Open Controlsthanks..
Giving lambert a stay of execution purely as have other priorities.. he has a nice littl erun of games so could pay off..
I reckon ba will be out for a couple of weeks but will watch closelyOpen Controls
Apologies for my foolish mistake last Saturday when i said Aguero aint gonna start, I haven't been here after that, It was very silly of me, Sorry again lads 🙁
Open ControlsIt would have been better if Aguero did not start 😮
Open ControlsI aint gonna lie, but , if i had Aguero in my team, I would have captained him too, who would have thought about him drawing a blank against a leaky Swans defence ! I believe its just a blip mate
Open Controls
He might as well have been on the bench for all he did in the match...
Open ControlsThe man with that mighty Kolarov punt 😉 I remember you posting it ( I was there 😉 ) So, you got Aguero in your team?
Open Controls
Oh, Thank you, That was very generous
Open Controls
Is Ba likely to risen soon? I am short of 0.1 to replace Ba with Jellyfish. I mean if Ba is injured. 😉
Open Controlsbad day in the office but he is still top drawer
Open Controls
I don't care I am taking hits as long as I get more points. Yes I am convincing myself 😉
Open ControlsSometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
My season has been a disaster anyway so points hits don't scare me anymore.Open ControlsIn 2010 u got 2132 and finished 5922. I got 2124 and finished 7196. Weird I thought margins would be larger at that level.
Open Controls
as long as the players you bring in are doing the business and the ones you ship are lame it's all good...
Open Controls+1
Open Controls
Any stoke fans out there,who will replace Wilson now he is out?
Wilkinson I assume?Open ControlsSeems the logical choice given he replaced him during the match. The problem though is he's not a natural left back so there are risks associated with it. Think I'm going to leave it as long as I can this week before pulling the trigger in case Pulis says something of note.
Open Controls
Following on from my RMT on last page... i made a few amendments - opinions please gents
Bego/Tremmel
McCartney/Gallas/Rafael/Sagna/Simpson
Nolan/Mata/Bale/Michu/Sterling
RVP/Tevez/Berba
finding the cash for RVP meant losing Santi & Baines for Nolan & Simpson...Open Controlsps. this is a WC team - and i have 0 cash left over...
Open ControlsAs a spurs fan.. I think Gallas' days are numbered.. My preference is Vert / Caulk at CB with BAE / Walker the others so you may want to reconsider.. Saying that I am not the manager so may be wrong
I really like the rest now.. saying that could you downgrade Nolan to say McAnuff / Gera and then upgrade Rafa? does this work out?Open Controlsi've got Caulker in my team right now already... i was considering a swap to Gallas cause a previous poster thought Caulker would be the one dropped when Assou Ekotto returned - you think otherwise?
Open ControlsI do but as I said it's not my call so I don't know for sure.. My take on it is Vert is guaranteed and it's thus between Gallas and Caulk for the other spot. Caulker has been immense since given the opportunity whereas Gallas has fecked up.. If I was the manager I know who I would place on the bench
Open ControlsI personally don't rate Gallas that highly anyway - so maybe i'll keep Caulker but save the .3 in the bank just in case it goes the other way...
Open Controls
If Ba is fit, I would find money to do Berba => Ba.
Open Controlsi had Ba in my 1st attempt... in place of RVP, but his fitness is a concern & i think i'd have to do some serious juggling to find the cash
Open Controlsdowngrade gallas, but that's not nearly enough...difficult to lose anyone on midpark.
Rvp + Berba or Rooney + Ba that could be the question.
But maybe keep what you have and then straight swap Tevez => Ba if neededOpen Controls
I wouldn't have Nolan fixtures are horrible now. Perhaps Morrison instead.
Open Controls
got lost previous page. got 10.3 for a mid and a def alrieady got sterling,thinking
simpson and taraabt or cuellar and hoilet?xOpen ControlsWhat do you think, is Guthrie => Sterling for a hit acceptable in any circumstances?
Thinking I need to get someone to my bench and value issues are also something I tought on this one.
Guthrie is useless and will continue to go down in price, same time Sterling is rising again.
Altough I'm also thinking Sterling is now 5.1 and getting bit expencive for a bench player - difficult to drop anyone of fellaini, michu, bale, mata, rvp, tevez, berba. Then again, he's good to have for a rainy day...Open ControlsA hit for a sub = crazy
Open Controls
Baines got 25 PPI where as Suarez got 12.
😀Open ControlsNope just calculated from Updated EA PPI Index.
RVP Mata looks close for 3 bonusOpen Controls
Eh? 😕
Open Controls- Open Controls
nailed on 3, he got 28 PPI
Open Controlswhat about Ba?
Open ControlsBa 2, Lukaku 3.
Open Controls24 PPI...looks good for 2 or 3
Open Controlsthanks
Open Controls
JD - you looking at Gera/Morr/Mcanuff...what about Sterling?
Boring I know,but look at fixtures I posted previously.Open Controlsgot him Rudi...
Open Controls
Dempsey got 33 🙁
Open ControlsNOOOOOOOOO!!!
Open Controls

Open Controlssee the total in FPL so far and total here

Here mate...search for player u want to seeOpen ControlsTa
Open Controls
🙁
Open Controls
Michu...stick or twist?
Wilson>....?
Who will take his place now?any stokeys out there care to enlighten me?Open Controlsjust pick one of either Shawcross or Huth now if you are looking at a stoke defender. If you don't have Bego get him in instead..
Open ControlsAlready got bego,stoke have the best chance of keeping a cleanie and as they are so rare budget defenders seems to be my plan.
Open ControlsI was going to get Wilson.. dodged a bullet there as didn't want to take a hit to do it.. I am now looking at newcastle defender instead...
Open Controls
Stick with Michu.
Same problem with Wilson, no idea.Open ControlsFlynnie - you have ba?
Open Controls
Cazorla & Aguero ---> RVP & Lallana? Not for a hit.
Open ControlsYep aguero has to go
Open Controls
