Mark In the first of three Numbers Game articles focusing on goal threat, we examine the leading midfielders on show with seven Gameweeks down. We investigate averages in our own ICT Index, before probing further to cast an eye over some key indicators amongst the current crop of top 20 midfielders for goal attempts thus far.
Just looking for guidance with regards to Michu and Nolan. Danke, Mark.
and another bandwagon begins
Osmaniesta?
I hope I get to witness Mr Nolan doing his celebratory chicken dance a few more times throughout the season.
+4
Here we go. What snake oil have you got for us tonight, Mark? 😀
Nolan bandwagon to your dismay
Nah. I am not dismayed. Just sniggering ... 😉
why do you hate him so? gotta say he's a huge goal threat. and with 3 home games and carroll's and his ex newcastle (along with wigan) in the next 5 he's gotta be a good bet
PLEASE PLEASE, change that freaking grav!
Do I wildcard now? My team is slowly fading after being on top.
Mignolet Federici
Baines Lescott Hangeland Clyne Demel
Hazard Cazorla Noble Guthrie Mclean
RVP Tevez Graham
I would get rid of Graham, Guthrie, Mclean & Noble. The rest looks decent.
Might be worth a wildcard.
wild card imo
Yes - you'll probably come last
First, YES!
...
4th, sorry.
Keep dreaming 😉

Rivaldo or Messi?
Even though tevez will start i've got a strong urge to drop him for berbs and upgrade Fellaini to Silva.. my attackin 8 would be immense
Bale Cazorla Silva Pienaar (Dyer)
Rvp Berbs Ba
Course my defense would be better off if i go with Mata instead
yeah I'm dropping tevez and going berbs long term. although if someone went for jelavic instead i wouldnt shout them down.
Tevez may go bonkers this week.. but second guessin rvp startin each week is enough of a headache for me upfront
tevez + hba instead of silva + berba imo
free transfers.. aint losin anythin
I think people are ditching Tevez too early. He's still the furthest forward City player, he's still the one who's starting. He's only had 1 start this season where he didn't either score or assist. Like RVP he is a fantastic FPL player in a slight lull.
i need money though 🙠.. defense in shambles and 2 free transfers.. gotta take out tevez/rvp. takin rvp out could be dangerous
i can always buy tevez back.. buyin rvp back is a major reshuffle/WC... I can downgrade Fellaini to Nolan, but Silva/Mata + Berbs should outscore Nolan + Tevez long term
any thoughts to improve? really cant decide thinking of keeping and not making any transfers
jussi / begovic
baines / huth / s.taylor / nelsen / gorkss
cazorla / HBA / Yaya / Pienaar / Sterling
RVP / Tevez / Ba
2FT 0 in the bank
thanks
a) mc carthy + valencia
b) jussi + yaya
c) de gea + walters
d) leave as it is
Hmm. I would maybe look at selling one of HBA for Walters/Morrison/whoever else you like in that price bracket. I think Ben Arfa's a little overpriced given his production. You could also sell Ba for Berbs. Ba's performance has been amazing but it's been better than his stats deserve.
i am considering the first move (walters as weeks 9-17 are nice for stoke but i am considering dropping yaya instead? ) but i wont be transferring ba out as i believe in him and his fixtures. what do u think of walters to yaya?
That sounds fine to me. I'd just rather double up on the City attack than Newcastle at the moment. On the other hand yaya is sort of 1.5ing on the City attack because half the time he plays defensive midfield.
Borini injured and Downin w@nk.. that's Sterlin and Suso nailed on(though they already were)
Rodgers must be praying to Zeus that Suarez doesn't get injured.
Allen. Actually. 🙂
Borini getting injured has done liverpool a favour
He may be crap but their squad is stretched to ridiculous levels at the moment.
So, I can't see all of the article but I'm guessing the advice is BUY NOLAN
This article concludes with my exact thoughts on my midfield. I have Fellaini/HBA and Michu, and two of them will be exiting my team, one this week and the other week after. Orignially i ws thinking HBA out for Cazorla this week and Michu to Silva next. Fellaini`s injury kind of had me relieved, because it meant that he "had to be dropped". HBA is such an amazing footballer in comparison to Fellaini, can really the stats be overlooked?
Amazing footballer doesn't mean points, even though fell is playing slightly further back, he still earns free kick around box so chance of assists and gets on at least 60% of corners.
Yes i know. Both have good fixtures going forward, HBA especially tempting home fixtures and this is where he usually shines. Only thing tempting me off Fellaini is since Mirallas came in he`s been playing a lot deeper than initially
Agree but still use him as target man which is where most of his points come from. Not that I have him, I always prefer peanut
Oscar is so cute.
are these games really tough for mata?
tot MUN swa LIV wba MCI
gettin 2 weeks rest for tottenham.. All home games vs sides who are concedin.. swansea leakin goals and wba not exactly a fortress anymore
Anyone tempted>?
Well it's not exactly a cake walk. It's only last month they drew nil nil at QPR.
only swa is captaincy consideration I think. Tough one, that list is a shocker, but you can't write Chelsea's assets off.
I think it's worth holding on to Mazard, but I wouldn't be spending an FT on getting one in.
Think ill be doing just that! Matas fixtures are.."middling" but at his current price, he is a bargain that you can hold onto, cuddle and keep for a long time, barring something changing in Chelsea.
And someday, the masses will catch on and his price will rise fairly quickly.
I think he is in for a Silva season, ala last year and at 8.9/9.0m..that will do me!
echoin my thoughts
plus they'll be showin all those games on tv as each one will be a cracker
If you can rationalise that run as not that bad then there may as well be no such thing as a bad run.
That said Mata is fine to to own - if you're challenging for the league you will score goals anyway.
Not even slightly, I'm afraid. My side is shortly set to be a Chelsea-free zone.
If I had him, I'd keep, but I'm not rushing to buy him in. I prefer Silva/Bale/Cazorla in the expensive midfield bracket...
ooh, hello:
Foster, Mannone
Baines, Rafa, Caulker, Wilson, Demel
Santi, Silva, Pienaar, Nolan, Puncheon
RvP, Berba, Ba
You did my Rangel, Graham > Berbs, Wilson shout??
Lookin' goood
Uruguay vs Argentina is going to be one hell of a match!
Tomorrow
On FIFA ultimate team is there some kind of advantage for the poorer team? i seem to keep beatin guys with all gold players with my team of 5hitters. best i got is silver...Formica.
I can beat you with 1 hitter.
It's really strange. I seem either smash teams 7-0 or lose 3-0. The gameplay is soo fast that I enjoy building the team more then playing the actual game. Current team:
Szczesny
Koscielny Vertonghan Cole
Fellaini Dembele
Ben Arfa Ruiz Chamberlain
Hernandez Podolski
Subs: Coloccini, Tiote, Scholes, Taarabt, Ramirez, Berbatov, Giroud
😎
Any updates on the injuries to Ridgewell & Demel?
On the FPL site Ridgewell is marked as "75% likely to play", and Demel "50%".
It's a shame as they're both great options for the next gameweek IMO.
A)Nolan + Tevez OR
B)Silva/Mata + Berbatov
wc team, thoughts please
al habsi
baines, hughes, rafael
pienaar, cazorla,ya ya,bale
berba(c), ba, jelavic
begovic, maloney, zabaletta, shawcross
cheers
Good team. maybe swict zabaletta ot as hes a rotation risk
Yaya nicely up there 😉
Quick poll
A) Walters and Puncheom
or
B)Morrison and routledge(will be switching him out for mcanuff or maloney after this week)
Improvements necessary?
Foster
Baines / gibbs / raf
Caz / bale / pinarse / mitchu
RVP / ba / jelly
Henderson / demel / davies / guthrie 0.2 in the bank
Evening lads.
Any news?
Forget wildcard teams. Who are the attacking players you covet (including those you have) - you can nominate more than the allowed number in each position:
For me...
Forwards: RVP, Aguero, Jelavic, Berb, Lambert, Ba, Crouch
Midfielders: Bale, Cazorla, Morrison, Pienaar, Nolan, Michu
Berbatov Ba Tevez Rvp
Bale Cazorla Silva Mata Pienaar Nolan
RVP Aguero Berba Jelavic Rooney
Cazorla Silva Nolan Bale Morrison Pienaar Taraabt
Forwards: RVP, Aguero, Giroud, Tevez, Berbatov, Jay Rodriguez
Midfielders: Cazorla, Pienaar, Nasri, Silva, Ben Arfa, Nolan, Oscar, Ramirez, Walcott, Granero
Aaaah - that felt good. Thanks, Jimski
Rodriguez?!
Boselli.
RVP, jelly, ba, crouch after this week
The first 4 mids
Got confused, thought you meant of those! Doh
forwards- RVP, jelly, ba, crouch, fletcher
mid- bale, Carzola, Pienaar, Dyer (yes, Dyer), hba, Silva
best replacement for vorm under 5.4??
here is my DEF
GK: Vorm, Bego
DEF: Baines, gibbs, cuellar, demel, Saylor
i was thinking of mccartney at 4 or foster
I advice the scouts to make a member article with some random non-fpl prospect as the picture, just so the 'smart' guys jump into the wrong bandwagon 🙂
RVP vs Aguero for the next 6 or so GWs. Talk to me. Really tough choice, i am actually leaning towards Aguero.
Rotation risk: For now =, if City get knocked out of United go through this changes.
Chances of taking a penalty: =
Finishing ability: =
Set-piece delivery: RVP
Fixtures: Aguero
Aguero for me.
Differential: Aguero 😉
I prefer RVP because of the alternatives for City. Is Aguero really worth 1.5 more than Tevez? I have my doubts. I also really like Silva.
never baines.. it's a rule
