Goals are the lifeblood of our Fantasy lineup and the quest for goalscorers is, of course, a major factor in our selections on a weekly basis.

While several players have already shown their prowess in this area with two goals to their name, the statistical data available to our Members, and in particular the ICT Index, enables us to spot and monitor those who are yet to make their mark but are, nonetheless, finding themselves in goalscoring positions and posing a key threat to the opposition.

In this latest Members article, we take a look at the top players amongst midfielders and forwards in terms of the current “Threat” score within our ICT Index, identifying those players who have so far delivered on their promise, and those which seem likely to find the net in the near future.

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

    Check the Rooney stats and then look at all the numpties on here on Monday saying that Rooney was playing "Deep".

    Ridiculous.

      Indeed. He was the most forward united player on average. When he plays with Welbeck he's forward, Hernandez - deep.

        Unless an injury or long term suspension occurs I expect Rooney to be the highest scoring player this season.

        I think I will captain him this week.

        People such as DBRonaldo saying hes playing DB are just deluded.

      Agreed but it was still VDV who made these efforts - therefore, of all Tottenham's attacking players, it was left to VDV to provide the shot on goal which is what the Threat element of the ICT measures. It will be interesting to see how VDV against City.

      We've no intention of positioning the ICT to replicate the PPI - our Influence score is the closest we get because it uses similar performance statistics but different data. The question is, which is a better representation of the player's Fantasy potential/value?
