The Numbers Game – ICT Form Analysis

Just three more days to go till the curtain draws on the domestic campaign, then. As many Fantasy managers look to load up on more assured Fantasy assets ahead of Sunday’s deadline, plenty more are in the position where differentials are needed for that vital edge in the final Gameweek of the season.

This latest article for members takes a look at the top ten players per position over the last four Gameweeks in accordance with our very own ICT Index averages. Also using the Opta data available, we dig deep in order to highlight some overlooked potential perhaps worth considering this weekend.

I'm trying to determine who my rival is before I start asking for advice. Should I:

A) Try to chase the leader in one league who 22 points ahead

B) Close out my other league where I am 13 points clear.

Any thoughts/stories of experience on this matter would be hugely appreciated

    Both are for cash.
    
    The one in which I'm chasing has a sense of prestige around the town where I'm from, so winning that would mean eternal greatness...

      Klaas was the top scorer in the qualifying rounds & is in good form now.

  Cisse isn't on pens, but he just can't stop scoring, and has CL to play for. So I would shipped out Jelly.
  Moses seems the best mid for below 5.5, but if u need the xtra 1.0. Maloney offers good value, and has spot kick duties.

Chelsea could have David Luiz back in his matchday squad for the visit of Blackburn but Roberto Di Matteo is unlikely to throw him into the starting lineup given the approaching Champions League final with Bayern. Indeed, the Chelsea lineup will doubtless be heavily influence by the date in Munich. The likes of Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry, Ramires and Raul Meireles are all suspended for the final and therefore all look likely starters against Rovers. Meireles remains a doubt having missed the midweek defeat to Liverpool but did make a return to training this week, John-Obi Mikel is another slight concern. Di Matteo will have to decide how to rotate the rest of his lineup, with Frank Lampard, Juan Mata, Salomon Kalou, Ashley Young and Didier Drogba all in contention for returns having missed the Anfield defeat.

THAT IS FROM THE TEAM NEWS PAGE FOR CHELSEA CAN YOU SPOT THE MISTAKE ITS GENUINE GO AND CHECK LOL
