Gareth Bale and Robin Van Persie top our ICT Index rankings for the midweek matches, with the likes of Marouane Fellaini and Adel Taarabt also flourishing to catch the eye. They all come under focus in the Big Numbers analysis, as we provide our members with a few of the key stats from Gameweek 14…
I don't know about that. Hamstring injuries are pretty hard to ignore, if it was a twinge then he'll be fine imo. If it did go properly even after the game then I'm sure Moyes would have been aware.
I'm no Facer though, I deal only in conjecture and unfounded opinion 😉Open Controls
Players are usually in denial when there hamstring goes. I have torn mine a few times in the past but you keep playing and ultimately worsen the injury. A grade 3 tear and you won't be able walk so it's not that but no doubt it will jeopardise him playing this week.
Open Controlsinteresting
Open Controls
I'm waiting for confirmation he's actually out for the City game first. If he is, we're looking at Baines (blank, TOT, sto) vs Enrique (SOT, whu, AVL)
Open Controls
Benitez was brought in to get Torres playing well and scoring again, yet all he's done is managed to stop everyone from scoring. Fair enough!
Open Controls
people with the bego/jussi combo who are ye starting this gw?
1) bego(wba)?
or
2) jussi(CHE)?
chelsea no goals scored in the last 2 while wba have scored 5..the home boy?Open ControlsChelsea were involved in a derby game last night did you know? 😉
Open Controls
don't forget to mention Bego is away and Jaask at home
Open Controlsok my bad the home match is in capitals
Open Controls
still pondering on this matter as well atm i have Bego on the goal and Cameron on the bench might just change Bego to Jaask but will leave Cameron on the bench... WBA are much more likely to score at home versus Stoke than Chelsea away to WHU imo

Last REPOST (sorry - was last comment on previous article, and then last comment on previous page)
Cerny – Begovic
Enrique – Nastasic – Sagna – Davies – Gorkss
Fellaini – Sterling – Walcott – Silva – Bale
Van Persie – Suarez – Berbatov
0.3m in bank
I feel the need to get Michu back but no idea who to get him in for. Dropping Fellaini doesn’t sound sane. Drop Walcott to avoid his injury risk?Open Controls
no. crazy.
do without michu – your midfield is amazing.
in fact your team is amazing, you lucky bugger. just swap gorkss for shorey if you can afford.Open Controls
you can have them all....great squad imo. leave it.
Open Controlsyou cant** have them all
Open Controls
I replied in the other thread. Basically; stick.
Open ControlsKnee jerk and you know it 🙂
Open ControlsIt's been jerking in his direction for a few weeks now and I'm starting to really regret dropping him. Thought I was a genius for getting him GW1 and dropping just before a little drought. But the drought looks to be over.
Anyway, as everyone is telling me, you can't have them all.Open ControlsBetter to have love and lost than to get back together with an ex 😉

Open ControlsThanks fella. It has been a deliberate strategy to build value for the second half of the season. Time will tell if my big fat warchest will buy back those 40 points. I'm starting to suspect that it won't but in any case the point hits are over now.
Appreciate you taking the time to look into it for me.Open Controls
u just want people to tell you how great that squad is!
Open Controls
Team for the next GW. Good to go?
Jussi
Rafael Mertersacker Cuellar
Bale Mata Fellaini Caz
RVP Suarez (c) Fletcher
(Subs: Begovic Puncheon Davies Gorkss)Open Controls
repost, mata or silva to bale?i bought mata at 8.9!
Open Controls
My team-
Bego(Foster)
Rafael-Huth-Cuellar(Gorkss-Nelson)
Bale-Fellaini-Pienaar-Morrison(Sterling)
RVP-Suarez-Berba + 1.3M in bank.
I am thinking of
Pienaar>Puncheon
Morrison>Silva for -4.
Right? Wrong? Advice please.Open Controls
So tempted to WC, 4 lousy weeks in a row, hovering under or just above average................. and down to an 8 point lead in my mini.
WC suggestions? 🙂Open Controls
repost...
Is Hughes>Gibbs worth a -4?
Looking long term, and Enrique's my only expensive defenderOpen Controls
Afternoon all. I forgot to make any changes this week and ironically had my best GW in ages and now have 2 FT. It's strange as I seem to alternate each week between a decent score and a pathetic score with essentially the same team.
Here's the current team:
Jussi, Bego
Riise, Caulker, Cuellar, Merte, Gorkss
Mata, Santi, Michu, Fellaini, Sterling
Tevez, RVP, Berba
Am thinking of:
1. Mata + Santi -----> Walcott + Bale
2. Mata + Tevez ----> Bale + Giroud or Fletcher
4. Mata + Tevez + Caulker ----> Bale + Giroud or Fletcher + Nasta (4ph)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!Open Controls
defence is fine, definitely don't need to be making DF transfers esp not for a hit
Now you've got yourself the two I recommend trying to save them for stormier weather, esp with the festive period coming up. If you can just do Mata > Bale that's ideal.Open Controls
4 (the third option) but make Caulker cheaper and get Suarez
Open Controlsi brought Suarez in weeks ago for the two 'easy' home games and watched him do nothing (except dive). Of course I sold him only for him to score again and again. Same for Berba and RVP for that matter as bought them and watched them both dry up (except for RVP last night).
If I bring him back what's the chance he'll get a yellow and not score?Open Controls
A’noon all, (sorry, lost on last post)
Current Tm
Mig (Bego)
Baines – Cueller – Nelsen (Demel – Gorkss)
Bale – Silva – Fellaini – Mata (Noble)
RVP – Berba – Ba
0.1m in bank, 0 FT (got migs in already to avoid price rise)
Going with the Baines / Mata exodus I’m thinking options are for GW 15:
A – Ba to Suarez, Mata to Nolan (8 pt hit)
B – Mata to Nolan (4pts), then Ba to Suarez GW 16
C – Baines to Enrique (4pt), then Mata to Walcott & Ba to Suarez Gw 16 (4pts)
D – Nothing. Wait and see if the mata-wagon is rolling too early and review next week
Cheers, sorry for long postOpen Controls
People in the know think Enrique can hold dow one of the wing positions for the next 6+ GW. Looking at Baines>Enrique this week
Open Controls
Radical...
Open ControlsRadical... really
Open Controls
Downings poor performances behind him are the only reason why he can't...and even then Johnson might move across to replace Downing
Open Controls
And Wisdom right back. Could try Assaidi wide left or even give Downing his shot cos he at least has scored more than 1 goal in his last 5 years in PL. Watch this and tell me in all honest if Enrique looks like a confident man when he gets a chance in front of goal ? As a Reds supporter I hope he does class but I think there are better wide left options there.
http://www.footytube.com/video/tottenham-hotspur-v-liverpool-145360?ref=wv_relboxOpen ControlsDoes that mean wisdom is about to get his place back?
Open Controls
Alot of people on here are hoping so. Looks promising right now but he needs to start scoring some goals soon imo. 6+ weeks far too long for any of us to know....
Open Controls
Done.....Baines & Jelly > Enrique>Suarez.
Only question is Haz>Bale woth it for a hit?Open ControlsI think Hazard will be warming the bench saturday. 1 point looks most likely
Open Controls
Front 8:
Mata Sterling Bale Fellaini Silva
Suarez RvP Fletcher.
Planning: Mata to Walcott.
Bench Fellaini? (even though it's tough)Open Controlsif you bench him you'll regret it imo
Open Controls
with a midfield of
Fellani-Santi-Walcott-Sterling-Michu
Who would you playOpen Controls
drop sterling
Open Controls
I'm not sure if true but I've heard that Wenger will play a full strength team next week in the CL even though they've already qualified for the next stage.....any danger of Giroud missing on the weekend?
Open Controls
Best defender for December @ 5.0 million or below?
Open Controls
When is Kagawa back?
Open Controls
Guys, what do you think? Too many red arrows in recent weeks have led me to the point of destroying my team.
Rooney -> Benteke (Differential gamble, don’t want Long)
Kacaniklic -> Bale
Then after the DGW:
Fletcher -> Berbatov and play a risky 3-5-2 for the rest of the season.Open Controls
Just bet Benetiz to be next manger to leave @ 25/1.
Good bet?Open Controls
Gone to the bookies for this one as I can’t decide who to buy. Billy Jones or Nastasic.??
—————- WBA CS odds 2.5
—————- MCY CS odds 2.3
If I get BJones, I’ll be getting Nasty anyway after the United fixture. HELP!!!Open Controls
Sterling/Mata/Bale/Fellaini/Ramirez
Giroud/RVP/Berb
Mata ---> ??
Mata needs to go, the question though is for who? I don't want to get Walcott in as that would mean getting rid of Giroud and Silva's not really looked like the Silva of last season bar a couple of shaky assists vs Villa so who would you get in my place?Open Controls
I would get Silva. Manchester City are one of the best attacking sides (if not the best) in the league and he will have his hands in a bunch of the goals.
Open ControlsUnless you need the money i would wait for the weekend. Mata likely to play and it will give you more time. Silva otherwise seems the best choice although no reason you can't double on Arsenal attack with upcoming fixtures.
Open Controls
Tevez posts a real problem. Difficult to understand why he was on the bench last night which makes it impossible to predict if he will start at the weekend. The difficulty is who to replace him with. My team is
Jussi bego
Ridgewell cuellar sagna clyne gorkks
Bale cazorla Fellaini lallana sterling
Tevez rvp Suarez
I have 2 free transfers and nothing in the bank. Was thinking tevez and gorkks to fletcher and Enrique. What do you think? Any alternative suggestions?Open Controls
Pick two out of three: Enrique, Nastisic, Azpilicueta
Baines and Santon are on my gtfo list.
Already have Sterling & Suarez. Would 3 LPool be overkill?Open Controls
Enrique and Nastasic
Open Controls
Bego (wba)
Cameron (wba), Gibbs (SWA), Cuellar (nor)
Sterling (SOT) Silva (EVE) Hazard (wha) Sessegnon (nor)

Foster, Michu, Clyne, Davies
I've only got 1 FT and lots of players i want / want to get rid. Thinking about riding this gw out though, agree?Open Controls
Have 1 ft and cant decide whether to get rid of Valencia or Baines.
Any help would b appreciated.Open ControlsBaines imo. Your mid is pretty strong even with 1 injury
Open Controls
Need more opinions. Repost #2, 😀
Might sound a bit odd, but this is what I’ve some up with:
Baines to Enrique for free this week.
Then I’m going to assess Mata under Rafa to have a wider sample of stats available under Rafa, if he doesn’t look as good as he was under RDM, he’s facing the axe for Fellatio, and I can get Baines back too, though I’d lose 0.3 on him. All this would be for free, but is price sensitive too. Thoughts?Open Controls
But what you don't really need to assess is that the Spanish waiter always does like rotation.
Open Controls
The dirty deed is done:
Baines & Tevez OUT
Enrique & Suarez(c) INOpen ControlsNice transfers IMO.
Open Controls
11 years, 5 months agoAccording to football365 Moyes had this to say about Baines injury (post match last night I assume):
"Leighton's got a hamstring injury. He felt it in the game and played on in the last 10 or 15 minutes," said the Scot.
Surely a significant hamstring injury wouldn't have allowed him to play on for another 15 minutes? I'm holding tight on shipping him out.
