Introducing The ICT Scout Index

he is a stick on to play

I just settled on Drogba too, let them take RVP if they want for the first few games, I'll pick him up after his next injury.

Moses is now up to 2.7% from 2.1% since the Scout article went up on FPL. He is potentially a very nice differential until everyone else reads it tomorrow.

its players from teams like wigan that will bag you points that others in your leagues woudn t get

the new bp system appears to be weighted heavily toward goalscorers... de jong and lucas definitely don't fit that bill. i think moses is the best 5.0 option by a mile considering his fixtures and goalscoring potential. if you want a yellow card magnet you may as well get tiote for 0.5 less

Bosingwas a huge risk, dunno much about Fox, otherwise it looks good.

Bosingwa should start so your defence is sound considering the money it locks has gone into a lovely front three.

I'd be happy sticking with that for the weekend. Just watch RVP.

48 hours?

Bramble and Wes Brown at Sunderland- I just think there is a risk as to who starts regularly. Each is a strong player, but at 4.5 ....I would hope for a solid locked starter. I posted some stuff on this on the previous page.

This is why I chose Alcaraz, who is solid, but not on my favorite team and I'll probably have to change him in five or six weeks which sucks ...... until Bramble or Brown are locks or a cheap 4.0 surfaces as a replacement.

I don't know Fox. Does he score, or is he a holding mid?

The rest of your team works-- Boswingwa might also be a starting risk in the following weeks.

Aguero.... But still, to much risk in ur hypothetical

Any other takers?

I think they'll both be though don't quote me.

I've had Orr ever since I read he was "a pacy right-back who loves to get forward and join the attack at every possible opportunity" on the QPR website.

WHats your bench? must be very average.

I'm doing it!

For GW looks good, not sure after that though.

Perhaps its better to get a defender in for the 1st 3 - 6 gm in mind, save those transfers baby!

Same may apply to Baines and to a lesser extend VdV...

Or you could just transfer him back in immediately after the Pool game, in which case it's as good as he's there all along...

yes but he might not play.....i dont think its worth it....

First two

zog and sess

zog and sess

Ok I change my mind... 😆

i like it, i'm risking bosingwa too so good luck with that.

not sure on are ramsey (i'd wait til gw4). i like lamps but he really is so dear, but you can guarantee he'll bring home the bacon once stoke are out of the way. only other concern i'd have is DJ, we don't really know how he's going to fit into the QPR setup, and graham is 0.5 cheaper and nailed on upfront for them. i'd either downgrade to graham or get holt in...

Figure I can boot him for Malouda down the track and free up cash, but still feel he'll be back to previous vintage this year...

RVP and Hoolahan - Tchoyi's imapct lessened by arrival of Long I'd suggest

Bramble a lock IMO

hes playing too deep.

I've got one.

I've got both of them up front with a 5.5

One big hitter in the midfield, 3 mid price one cheapie

One big defender, one mid priced, 3 cheapies.

2 cheap rotating keepers.

Nani all the MANU cover you need to start the season. Rooney at 12mil is too much for his role these days.

That being said, he will now duly bag a hatrick!

see my team on page 12. rvp/rooney/DJ but it might still be rvp/rooney/odem yet.

I think the midfield is full of bargains at 5-6.5m so im stocking up and rotating.

nr. 1

And what if that was

Holt - Aguero - Campbell

Holt, see discussion on previous page (12 or 13)

hoolahan. Tchoyi will struggle for starts with gera & long there now.

Hoolahan stats last year:

36 games, 10 goals, 9 assists.

If I could fit him in I would but my mids are:

Nani, Malouda, Sess, Ramsey and 4.5 bench fodder (currently Fox)

Ahh unlucky... got a link?

good - now cleverley might be a good pick.

We need Sneijder if we want any chance in the CL. We may be OK without him in the EPL.

Why would he join scum like you anyway?
He a topclass player, would not suit your scum

ya, that's too much i agree, he needs to lower. damn it jose, you priced him out for everyone by starting him so high to begin with. a lot of it has to do w/the high taxes in england.

Poor team. Start with Malouda, ship out Formica who'll misfire. Instead of Dzeko and Gervinho, go for one cheap, one big hitter. Taylor is suspended in defense, pick someone else.

B for me. RVP is incredible and fixture proof and will get the highest PPG ratio this season comfortably I reckon. NZog is a much greedier player than Silva and although Silva is a better player, Zog will be more involved in point scoring activity IMO.

A, given fixtures and other aspects. think silva is pretty settled as the main creative force for city and bent just needs to do what he always does.

sure, rvp is rvp, but we're not sure how the team will react to the departure of cesc, and nzog hasn't been playing in the villa system for long...

Same two expensive defenders with me. I think they are worth the investment. City and Chelsea defenders will get you a clean sheet almost every other game and players like Cole and Lescott with provide you with smatterings of attacking points too. For the price of mid priced midfielders they are worth it.

Don't think it's worth going with one or no high priced defenders because you need a solid defence who will score you decent points to score well consistently.

dan & bmb who are your gk'ers?

If any part of you is taking jagielka because you think he might go to arsenal just dont. Been there before. Twice. Hangelaand '08, Swarzer '09. It never happens.

Tiote and Ferguson won't do you any favours mate. I'd downgrade Toure to someone like Taarabt/Sessegnon and replace them with Moses and O'Hara/Sinclair.

Lol with a team like that I wouldn't call yourself a noob. Looks really good. Would you consider Nani to Silva? You already have Rooney and not City coverage, despite their fixtures.

That could allow Ba to Zamora.
