Our Members got the first round of ICT Index Data at the weekend, enabling them to assess the statistical performance of players across three crucial disciplines – Influence, Creativity and Threat.

Week by week we’ll be using this data to analyse teams and players in an attempt to aid Fantasy team selection. Our first article for Gameweek One turns the attention away from City’s sparkling 4-0 win over Swansea and looks to the reigning Champions, examining how Alex Ferguson’s men performed in their 2-1 win at West Brom and assessing the key performers on show ahead of their Monday night meeting with Spurs in Gameweek two.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Don't want to bench a Norwich player at home though. Plus the scoutcast had him as their fantasy island pick, so he could so well. Reckon I'm gonna do Pennant.

    Sorry to bash on about this but is it at all likely that Alex could lose his place to Ivanovic or are there clear lines of competition?

    I.E Bosingwa v Ivanovic / Alex v Luiz

    ta

    If clear lines of competition then Alex is the best bet as Luiz will be out longer. I'm just fearful I keep Alex in and Ivanovic grabs his place this weekend.

    Hi,

    Do you guys still have a strong faith for Moses to deliver?
    My choices are keep him and play him in next 2 gw's at least, maybe have to play even in gw4 - or change him to sessegnon and play him insted in those gws.

    Positive side on moses would be that I spare some cash in the bank for inevitable surprises.
    Sess is just so tempting, but also really hard to get him in the team!

    cheers!

        Agree that the midfield is better in B. Damn this is hard.

      Would rather have Cahill from everton midfield, would rather have Nzog, Sess or Taraabt in that price range

      you'll be doing a nice lot of transfers over the coming weeks with that team - good for this week, but long term im not a fan.

      Bos, Senderos and Drogba all rotation risks for me.
