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.

Is it time to lose my Chelsk defense?. .. Terry out soon. Cole seems unsettled. Luiz and Ivanovic reds waiting to happen and without Terry the shuffle is problematic.
Served me so well so far……….Pork Scratchings!!!
And Ivanovic what a disgraceful dive ( join the cheaters list) and Luiz could of broke Walters leg!
Hate having players in my team I don’t respect …just don’t know yet!Open Controls-
Well, looking at the fixtures, I would say ... yes! Have you Baines? Have you Wilson? Have you looked at Lescott? Rafael?
Open Controls-
Got any diffs to add to that. Tx for insight.

Does anyone fancy going out for a spot of dogging this weekend...it's not like we have anything better to do...? 😕
Open Controls-
You have to have a partner to do that. Solo dogging? I don't think so.

Hello All
Can I have your thoughts on my side please
Begovic (Gazzaniga)
Ivanovic Baines Jenkinson (Demel , Gorkiss)
Michu, Bale, Pieenar, Fellani (Sterling)
Ba, RVP. Torress.
Is there too much Everton? ThanksOpen Controls-
Too much Saints.
IMO yes choose between Hair Bear and Peanuts.
And remember Hair Bear was spouting that he was available for transfer not so long ago.Open Controls

long defoe zamora..
have two transfers and want to get giroud in..need help...Open Controls-
out Nasri Zamora for starters, how much in the bank
Open Controls -
Nasri to Bale. Krul to Jaaskelainen. Zamora to Ba.
Open Controls -
Sorry defoe/ michu out for giroud/ granero.. doubling up on QPR attacking coverage Yep thats what you should do :-}

JK - what's the stry with Kebe?
Open Controls-
look at his fixtures, particularly his next 3 after Liverpool, and his home fixtures. They are great until GW15 when it becomes a mixed bag. But he is nailed on, is basically OOP as an attacking winger and, given that Reading gets lots of crosses and long balls up to Pog, he has a chance of picking up goals and assists.
Kebe has better fixtures than Sterling anyway after this week. In 2.2 (ish) games Kebe has almost half as many points as Sterling does in 6.75 (ish)Open Controls

Where's Tangtastic? Chief Advocate of Tevez pre-season (and he was right then). Wondering what his Tev plans are now...
Open Controls-
Within 3 gws I could well have Tev & Silva. I just hate trying to plan this stuff.
Open Controls-
That pretty much sums it up man, some people are looking to get rid, others looking to bring him in. It's a crazy mixed up situation. I'm definitely keeping one more week at the very least. And I have a vague plan of upgrading to Kun for SWA - but need some signs that is an upgrade!

Why the freck did you do RVP--->Aguero? Hazard to Silva would have been better for you.
None of those transfers are worth doing for a hitOpen Controls-
RVP dropping quick. less money. differential. mankini he loves him. fixtures dont know where you have been. tons are doing it.
Open Controls-
I have been making my own mind up about and not following the crowd.
Nothing needs doing in your team for a hit, just keep an eye out on Gibbs fitness. I would probably want to lose Michu or Vorm next GWOpen Controls

Which player would you like to see get injured during the international break??
Nothing to serious maybe a spell of 6 weeks on the sidelines.Open Controls-
FPL player?

Aguero

No-one, although I am partial to wishing a little ill luck on some players at times.

Quick poll: who would you rather have in your football team. Both at their peak
Yaya or Patrick vieira?Open Controls-
Yaya

Open Controls -
Vieira.
Open Controls -
Vieira by a mile. Better at pretty much everything.
Open Controls-
Not attacking?
Open Controls

You cannot be serious!
Patrick... Yaya is very, very good but he has a way to go.Open Controls -
-
Hard to say. Vieira was lucky enough to have Petit next to him during his peak years - Yaya has had Barry or De Jong.
Vieira for me just because he did it for years but Yaya is very, very good.Open Controls-
Agreed on longeivity. Hence 'at their peak' 😉

Which combination is the best on wildcard.
A) Nolan RVP Ba
B) Mata Aguero Suarez
C) Silva Aguero BaOpen Controls-
Wouldn't bother with aguero. I got him and regret it!!
Open Controls -
B as it has more balance but I would not do either, but that's just me not being able to think outside my own little world.
Open Controls-
If you was on wildcard this week, which three forwards would you go with?
Open Controls-
Depends on the whole budget allocation.
RVP, Suarez/Tevez, Berb/Fletch
For me it gives a nice balance and allows you options in the future. The Berbs/Fletch combo obviously gives you options in mid selection.Open Controls-
Well A option is RVP Ba Berbatov. Must admit I really wanna take a gamble on Suarez against Reading, and then maybe change to Ba. My midfield is Bale Cazorla Pienaar Spearing, just not sure on the last slot yet, possibly Nolan or Mata.
Open Controls-
I am jealous of RVP, Ba, Berb 🙂
You sure on Spearing?
I'd go Mata.
Looks a good team.Open Controls -

I dont get why so many have sold off fellani he's a keeper right now and could produce big returns this year.

Baines/Ivan/Wilson/Gorkss/McCartney
Bale/Santi/Pienaar/Nolan/Puncheon
RVP/Aguero/Berba

Should I ship Ramirez early as he is due to be out for a while? My other mids are:

Ha. Who needs to be a member. I can see from the picture the answer is Nolan !
Open Controls -
Ba and hazard for berba and silva
Yes or no?Open Controls-

No city cover at all.... Silva might be starting a nice little run?
Open Controls-

'Cover' is the worst term used on here.. You never need 'cover' from a given team, you need the right players, the highest point scorers. The best player from a shit team team with shit fixtures will often score better than many players from the best team with great fixtures...

England fans..
I used to live for England games... even friendlies. My interest in friendlies diminished with the 9 subs at half time shit, but now I'm finding myself losing interest in full Internationals.. 😯
Is this because..
A) We have no chance of winning anything anymore?
B) It fecks up FPL?
C) Club football is all that matters anymore?
😕Open Controls-
B. But I still care about actual important games.

Puncheon 4.4 or Britton 4.3 for 5th midfielder that you never ever intend to play? (Britton has played all games so far)

Frontline is
Cazorla, Bale, Kacankilic, Michu, Ramirez
RVP, Ba, Suarez
Thinking of Ramirez -> Lallana this week, then Michu -> Mata and Suarez -> Berbatov week after. Make sense?Open Controls -
I have him but I admit it would be hilarious to see RVP injured over the break 🙂
Theres even a website for it
