In this latest article for Members we combine the current ownership data in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game and our very own ICT Index* data, to find a collection of ten players who could provide handy differentials over the weeks to come.

With the emphasis on value in the current Fantasy landscape – we particularly targeted budget players who could plug the gaps in your squad – with just one notable exception from Villas-Boas’ Kings Road fraternity.

        I cant see AJ starting this week. Zamora, Ruiz, Dempsey all ahead if him as a striking option, that doesn't include dembele or the option of playing a lone striker.

      Defense:
      Arsenal defense cant be trusted altho this would be the week to trust it 😛
      Smalling rotation risk but seems fine for now because of injury and ManU may not keep many clean sheets in their upcoming tough fixtures.
      I hate doubling up on defense (Vorm,Taylor) especially Swansea.
      Midfield:
      Looks good apart from the fact you only have 4.
      Forward:
      Boltons tough run may hinder Klasnic although he has done well thus far.

    Hi Guys, I am from Australia and have a league with some blokes from school. I have a reasonable idea but was hoping for a bit of a hand cause I can't make my mind up on my team after using my wild card for this gameweek.

    Given (Vorm)

    Kompany Bosingwa Cahill (De Laet Simpson)

    Young Silva Dempsey Henderson Brunt

    Rooney Dzeko (Lita)

    0.4 in the bank.

      Change Cahill for Enrique. Cahill can't keep up the scoring and will get low clean sheets.

      I would also go Dempsey to arteta/Walcott to get some arsenal coverage for the coming GWs.

      Also downgrading henderson for dyer should leave you around 2.5 points to change lita to one of sturridge, bendtner, Fletcher, Ruiz.

          Not this week, but has been playing regularly. Dyer should only be needed as coverage when one of you big guns are rested or have a terrible fixture.
          Alot of people here including me have him as solid bench coverage.

          Well away at Sunderland and MU gives you a couple of games to wait and see I guess, then if Sturridge looks like getting gametime, bring him in GW6 home against Swansea.

      I think its fine altho playing 5 def is rarely a good way to go. I would mayb consider playing Sinclair.
      If you think Young or Silva will outscore Yaya this week by 4 then do it because those guys are better to have in your team than Yaya. But its not urgent.

          102.0 havin w/c'd last week n done dzecko n young last sat for a 4 pt hit. i know lots say its not nessacary, its a false economy and that playin the market doesnt work, but after really gettin into it last season i felt it was worth seeing how things pan out if u keep it to the fore of ur mind early doors....my feelings are that if u can get ur value up enough it has to be an advantage to of acrued maybe an extra 5 6 or maybe 7 million by the time the jan w/c hits us.

          it seems to me that dzecko for eg goin up 3 times in a week and maybe a 4th is a pretty unprecedented event so maybe with the rise figures on CTC bein so low this season it may work out!

    Sinclair(ars) Lampard(sun) Sessegnon(CHE)

    Given(eve) NZog(eve) Enrique(sto) Moses(mci)

    Thanks!

        what shit advice. baines will either start or not play at all so atleast put him in your defence n let him get auto-subbed out

        as it happens hes likely to play anyway

          Assuming Baines is playing then I reckon it could be Cahill playing up front in a 4-2-3-1..... Barkley (left), Osman and Drenthe (right)

      I must be blind or something Tosey, can't see any mention of Baines in the article.

      Tried Ctrl + F and searched "baines" but shows no results

    Morning All...been absent for a while and have quickly scanned comments...has there been much talk about Jarvis and now Nasri doubts? If so...what's the general consensus regarding their playing time...I know the injuries list has info but just curious what others are thinking. Not sure I want to sell either of them...

    Thanks

    Any thoughts on Rudd vs Ruddy?

    Will Mr. Ruddy walk straight back into the Norwich team or is Mr.Rudd good enough to stake a claim?

      Ruddy is definitely our first choice keeper. No doubts about it.

    Guys

    How sure are we that Mata will starts?

    I cannot decide between those three transfer options:

    1/ Lampard + Nzog => Walcott + Mata
    2/ Lampard + Moses => Arteta + Mata
    3/ Lampard + Holt => Brunt + RVP

    Advice?

      I think Mata has a 80% chance of starting! Nobody really knows for sure though, would be good if they started with

      Sturridge Torres Mata

      as a front 3

      3 i think purely based on the doubt of Mata starting.

      i'm considering option 3 myself to get arsenal coverage but i feel i may regret taking them both out.
