A Gameweek tainted by no less than three 0-0 stalemates still saw several protagonists produce strong statistical shifts. Jordi Gomez and Stephane Sessegnon led the way in our ICT Index rankings and are amongst the players picked out in this week’s Big Numbers, our summary of some of the key stats on show from the weekend’s action…
Morning Friends! 🙂
Do we think Chicharito will start this week?
Cos if he is I'm captaining RvP and if he isn't I'm captaining Rooney.Open Controls
Very hard to say, I would guess that he would but not overly confident.
Open Controls
Morning Guys,
Any advice on what to do to my team with my FTs this week:
Begovic
Baines - Cameron - Cuellar
Bale - Valencia - Ramirez - Pienaar
RVP (C) - Tevez - Ba
Henderson - Hughes - Demel - Noble
Got 2FTs, 0.0m in the bank. Need to change Valencia I think, but no money and don't want to downgrade Baines until next week (plan next week is Baines ---> Gibbs, & Tevez ----> Suarez).
Any ideas welcome.Open ControlsValencia may be fit for midweek but should be fit for the weekend
Open ControlsIf he missed out vs West Ham midweek my bench is terrible:
Hughes - Chelsea away
Demel - United away (probably be sub)
Noble - suspended
Am considering Noble ------> Gera. Straight swap, same price.Open Controls
Explosions imminent series wasn't immune to the low scoring week but managed to predict Defoe and Lallana.
This week a certain Dutchman is on the lists 😉

Is Kuyt back?
Open Controls😀
Open Controls
These are some of my favourite tables, good work tommy
Open Controls
In the comparison tool all sign point to Crouch being more effective than Benteke.....would it be foolish to make the switch based on gut feeling?
Open Controls
Benteke was not look that good yesterday.
Open Controls
2 terrible weeks. For this week, stick or twist?
Begovic (Jaask)
Baines/Cuellar/Davies (Demel/Gorkss)
Mata/Bale/Fellaini/Sterling (Nolan)
RVP (c)/Tevez/Giroud
Do I use the free transfer? And bench Nolan or Sterling? And is sticking with RVP as captain still the sensible idea? Thanks for your help.Open ControlsI think there will be a lot of points this week. I would personally sell Nolan and bring in Adam Johnson (good fixtures). West Ham have a difficult run coming up.
As far as RVP is concerned., it's a real tricky one. You should sell him, but he's the type of striker that once you do, he will return double figures week in week out.Open Controls
If I were you I'd save the free. Or if pushed, get Demel out. Looks like he's struggling to get back int5o WH team
Open Controls
Stick ... have 2FT next GW ..... surely you can`t have 3 crap GW`s in a row 😉
Open ControlsI hope not. I was scaling the heights of 4,000 in the world two weeks ago (13,000 isn't too bad though).I always panic in these situations and make rash transfers, so I'm trying to be careful. No need to get rid of any of them (aside from Demel, and probably Baines). I know if I get Suarez in he'll get suspended immediately. Lots of think about.
Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to stick with Robin (c), he's got WHM/rdg next two. If he doesn't do anything in those two... I hope he knows he's playing for his place in my team.Open Controls
Which combination would get your vote, through to Jan WC?
A) Cameron, Ridgewell, Enrique + Sess
B) Garrido, McAuley, Wisdom + Silva
Keepers are Jussi/Bego and otherdefenders Cuellar/Mertesacker (full team linked).
Finding this a tough one (not on WC just deciding my first move)! CheersOpen Controls
A if u believe in Sunderland and sess.
Wisdom is injuredOpen Controls
Well, looking likely that Tevez will start midweek now right?
Open ControlsCorrect.
Open ControlsWell, mood lifted very slightly....... 🙁
Open Controls
Yeah. If you could have picked the game he was rested/rotated for, surely it would have been the Chelsea one, no?
Obviously would rather he was played every week but it's not going to happen with 4 strikers and no CL.Open ControlsYea, true......
Open Controls
If money were no object, what is the highest scoring side this season?
Bego/Jussi (for their home rotation and points already on the board)
Baines Ivanvoic Rafael Huth ShawX
Bale Cazorla Mata Fellaini Nolan
RVP Tevez Suarez (looks pretty set as a front 3)Open Controls
Who would you rather have for this week only?
Fellinaini or sessegnonOpen Controls
Open Controls😀
Open Controls
Oh my Nani is now 8.2.
There is so much value there once he is fit and SAF starts him for a few games, especially since Valencia and Young are looking poor.Open ControlsThis.... Hoping Nani get some form and gets back in line up. He can score goals as well. He is really better than Valencia and Young. He was used to be the top assister of the season must have in every fantasy team.
Open ControlsThis could be an option
Open ControlsIs he not the new berbatov as far as utd are concerned? Used to score brilliantly but saf has lost faith now so won't get a regular run in the team...
Open ControlsSaf should lost faith on Young and Valencia instead.
Open Controlsdon't agree with valencia but young looks very poor. Hasn't recovered from a bad euro championship with england. Valencia was utd' best player second half of last season so still confident he can recover his form soon.
Open Controls
He's not lost faith in Nani in my opinion. Not the Berbatov no.
Open Controls
I'd get Nani for 6.5. If he was a regular starter.
Open Controls
Pratik about?
Open ControlsThis in terms of Sess and his two shots on target the whole season. This is exactly one of those cases where stats can be misleading at times. I remember getting impressed by Sess in the MOTD highlights vs. Everton. Even saw about 30 minutes of that game and Sess looked really dangerous and got into some really good positions. He had to chances on goal which he scuffed i think so that wont show, but in general i saw him playing far up the pitch and beginning to look dangerous, which happened against vs. Fulham (where he looked less dangerous). In fact, i bought Sess more because of the Eve game compared to the goal at Fulham.
Just a case of stats, being important, can be misleading at times. That is my only point.Open Controls
Oh, I have nothing against Sess. I just think stats are overrated, that's all.
Open Controls
"I just think stats are overrated, that’s all"
Eg, Baines?Open ControlsBaines' stats are valid though. He looked the most dangerous Everton attacker vs. Norwich.
Open Controls....but other then Sess, he is getting ZIP points.
Open Controls
I think Baines is gonna be one of the top scoring defenders at the end of the year, but if you look at the stats, it makes you feel as if he is what C.Ronaldo was in your midfield.
But he is not that important/essential. You can do well with/without him.Open Controls
Oh i know you having nothing against Sess. I am not trying to prove a point or anything. Just conversation, rather than anything else.
Open Controls
I rem telling Doos and Christina about this as well. Doos said he hadn't hit form on the basis of stats.
Open Controls
Should I get Morrison or Sess?
Open ControlsFellaini if you don't have. If already have, then Sess just for DGW
Open ControlsAlready have Fellaini.
People say DGW as if its a guarantee for points but I think STO, WHM, NOR and qpr in the next 6 are just as good fixture wiseOpen ControlsDid you watch Morrison play yesterday. Four goals and did not involve in all goals. Gera was playing in the hole. Morrison was playing at the place of let's say Scholes. 🙂 It is a concern.
Open Controls
I'd be concerned about Morrisons position. Clarke was raving about Gera playing in the hole after the game. Could be set for a run there.
Open Controls
Morning gents. Only just got to look at my scores after a rugby fuelled weekend!
Literally flipped a coin on Saturday morning to go for Sess or Young as a punt. It really didn't work out!
Should I bite the bullet and remove Young already or keep for WH?Open ControlsRemove him. He was shit the whole season. He is not A Young I used to know anymore.
Open ControlsIndeed. I thought if he was going to do well then it would be against QPR!
Haven't done any knee jerk moves yet this season (which has payed off keeping Crouch this weekend) but this could be one.
Young to Sess...Open Controls
i chose aj instead of sess 🙁
Open ControlsFeel your pain mate!
Open Controls
Woo rugby, who do you support?
I would hold for WHM btwOpen ControlsWasps in terms of cllub. My international loyalties are divided being half welsh. Went up for the All Blacks game on Saturday and wish we could have done better. Look so disjointed
The only thing thats questioning keeping Young is he just looks shot of confidence. Just watching the match highlights now...Open ControlsWallabies man over here. Southern Hemisphere teams are looking good (as always) 😉
Open ControlsYeah all are looking good. And I live with a SAF and Kiwi so really got it in the neck this weekend! 😀
Open Controls
Fellas 🙂 Help a butters out!
Tremmel - Bego
Wilkinson - Baines - Clyne - Gorkss - Cuellar
Mata - Bale - Fell - Sterling - Punchy
Suarez - Rvp - Rooney
1 FT, 0.1 in the bank
2 Questions
1) Wilks + baines -> Enrique + J.Evans
2) Rooney or RvP captain?Open Controls1) Not necessary this week.
2) I captain Rooney. He is in form. 😀 just gave me 12 points this week while most of other choices were failed. and I must give some respect to him by captaining him again. 😆Open ControlsSave the transfer & flip a coin for (c) RVP/Shrek
Open ControlsI wouldn't do the transfers this week, not for a hit.
Mata (C)? or RVP.Open ControlsSave the FT.
Either or, i'd say Rooney.Open Controls
Here is my team, any opinions?
Begovic
Huth/Billy Jones/fonte
Hazard/fellaini/puncheon/sterling/bale
Suarez/rvp(c)
Foster/ba/skrtel/nelsen
CheersOpen ControlsEnven if i play huth and begovic?

@whufc_official
Monday's Barclays U21 Premier League Group 1 fixture at Norwich City has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Do the U21s play at Carrow Road too?Open ControlsPick one to keep up to gw 21:
baines or FelliOpen Controls
Your thoughts please, gentlemen:
I have 2FT + 0.4 burning a hole, and this to play with:
Krul Mignolet
Cameron Caulker Fonte Rafael Baines
Lallana Sterling Michu McAnuff Fellaini
RVP Ba Suarez
Looking at doing Michu > Bale via Ba > Long this week, then shipping Fellaini (tough fixtures..) to Sess for a couple of weeks til after the DGW.
Sound good? Any better suggestions?Open ControlsNobody? Quick, it's nearly new page time!
Open ControlsUr idea sounds good. Go with it. Newcastle are struggling
Open ControlsSounds good. But I'd personally keep Fellaini. I think youre right to ship Ba, at least until HBA is back, we have no creativity without him and Cabaye.
Youre midfield does seem a little light in there. So getting Bale or equiv is a good idea.Open ControlsThanks.
Fellaini vs ARS mci TOT doesn't thrill me at all and might even see him play deeper. I'll likely get him back afte the DGW, two Sunderland home games crying out for Sess (c)..Open Controls
Any chance of scoutcast?
Baines discussion surely on agenda?Open ControlsI know, I listened. Just thought after Nor(h) even more so.
Open Controls
nothing has really changed
Open ControlsNot sure there's a lot more to say on the topic. He's going to have to score or get assists in at least 3 consecutive games before everyone will agree on his value!
Open Controls
Christina, i know what you should look at. You have a link to MOTD highlights?
Open Controls
Well they already discussed him last scoutcast and they've made it clear - it doesn't matter what his actual returns are in any given gameweek, his *potential* returns always make him a season keeper.
Interestingly, Chris Glover has weighed into the argument with this little snippet:
"... unless you're one of the 25% managers who believe Baines is worth 3m more than some of the other solid defensive players around (I'm not)."
Oops, I promised no more about Lord Leighton this week. That's it from me, finito.Open ControlsI rather like the Baines discussion though......
Open Controls
Ditto, both sides have a convincing argument.
Open Controls
Baines / Rvp same argument really. It's funny though that a lot of people going on about Baines being a waste of money have still got him in their teams.
Including you!! 😉Open Controls
Didn't they just do that??!!
Open Controls
GW 14 :
DDG ( should get a start )
Baines, Rafael, Grokss ( Reither, McCartney )
Johnson, Sterling, Bale, Morrison ( Nolan )
Tevez, Berbatov, Rvp
had some tough weeks. Fell from 8k to 200k. Finished in 4k last year.
Your views are needed ...Open ControlsDdg? Just ship him out and invest it the following week. Man u don't do clean sheets
Open Controls
Which one better?
A. Silva + Giroud
B. Tevez + Walcot/Caz
Currently planning B since i have Tevez.Open Controls
Despite playing CDM, Morrison created 3 chances. No-one else on his team created more. With Gera possibly being rested mid-week, and Mulumbu nearing a return, Morrison is likely to be back to a more dangerous position.
Open ControlsHaven't done RMT b4 but really need help now........
Begovic
Ivanovic / Gorkss / Baines
Fellaini / Santi Cazorla (c) / Michu / Mata
Suarez / Tevez (vc) / Berbatov
Jaaskelainen / Nelsen / Dyer / Wilkinson
1FT 0.8 in bankOpen ControlsSave, you've got a good team to put out this week.
Open ControlsWill have to sort out dyer and wilks at some point
Open ControlsYea, i know, Dyer out after this week and Wilks after that
Open Controls
That's what i thought last week......... 🙁
Open Controlslol
Open Controls:d happens... Why santi (c)? Wouldn't Mata/ Suarez be a better option
Open ControlsSorry, not my (C) haven't changed it yet, not keen on Mata (blame the guy u hate) but Suarez was what i was thinking
Open Controls
That's what i thought last week......... 🙁 but thx 4 the advice, i'll just wait a bit and see
Open Controls
Have 4.1 to spend on defender. Considering Shorey, Davies, Gorkks and Clyne...who wud u go for among the lot?
Open Controls
Right Mark etc, get the f**king finger out!!!
I demand a new article!!
Also, the scout picks have been utter useless recently, even the watchlist...
This is your last warning guys.Open ControlsFirst
Open Controls
wut?
Open ControlsNice 😉
Open ControlsHow you utilizing your 2 FT's?
Open ControlsI dunno. Just doing one this week. Waiting to get clarity on Suarez possible susp for South(h)
Open Controls
Any idea if we will have a Wenger press conference today?
Open ControlsI hope so, need news on Walcott ASAP!
Open Controls
11 years, 11 months agoRVP captain? He failed for two comsecutive games!
