Next up in this week’s series of articles focusing on goal threat are the forwards. Having analysed the midfielders yesterday, we turn our attentions to the men up front. First, we take a look at the potential hinted at by our very own ICT Index before digging deeper into the Opta statistics, highlighting a variety of crucial attacking indicators from the top 20 forwards in terms of goal attempts over the first seven Gameweeks of the new season…

Does everyone think sterling is going to continue starting and is he a better option than mcanuff?
Open ControlsI don't get it with Sterling. Regular starter - regular points dud.
Open Controls
2 assists already for a 17 year old is pretty good...and he's definitely got a goal in him coming up!
Open Controls
Yes he will keep starting.
Open ControlsNot for me

Was on tv as well. Will be interesting to see final viewing figures.

what is this rvp incident? what happened?
Open Controls
Michu > HBA after this game week ? The next 6-8 run fixtures for the Magpies looks reasonable and he should fire on at least 3-4 of these which gives a good return.
Thanks for any replies!Open ControlsWhy? Michu has been incredible.
Open Controls
That is currently my plan. Bar the United game he has delivered something in every home game, I can see that continuing. With his away fixtures he could deliver then as well.
Open ControlsYes seems decent.
Open Controls
Genuine question - at what point do a lot of people generally stop playing the game and it becomes more fun with less knee-jerk activity?
Can't be far off, surely! 🙂Open Controls
Last season there was a significant drop between profits made this international break and the next one
Open ControlsAh, so you're thinking round about now is the time a lot of people stop playing the game?
Open Controls
Yeah Herr, but there's too many lucky, clueless players. I prefer it when things settle down and the cream starts to rise to the top! 🙂
Open Controls
I've never played beyond Christmas, if that helps.
Open ControlsWhy bother starting something you're not going to finish?
Open ControlsI don't know. I get bored of it I guess and I'm usually busy over Christmas so I forget to do it for a couple weeks and then I just give up.
Open ControlsFair enough.
Open Controls
Hazard and fellani > cazorla and kightly? Any opinions on this move ?
Open ControlsFellaini to Kightly? Really, seems a strange on that, I'd rather have Walters
Open ControlsCazorla and Pienaar? Can you do that?
Open Controls
I'm a bit confused as to how come Suarez seems to be rated so highly in so many FFS articles lately, yet has taken such a sharp fall in the 'Watchlist'??
Open ControlsProbably because he's in the Author's team.
Open ControlsJust ignore the watchlist, it means very little at the end of the day. It's just a list of the most favourable players to buy...but you should know this stuff anyway if you pay any attention to football.
Open ControlsLooking at your history, you might want to take note. They're good for beginners 😉
Open Controls😆
Open ControlsLooking at your history...oh wait I can't...
Therefore you are a muppet of the highest order.Open Controls
Fixtures going forward not good beyond this game, team not really clicking, a lot of missed chances. Beside that he is great.
Open Controls
just finished watching the jump... that was unbelievable, heart in mouth stuff, was spinning like crazy at one point
Open Controlsit's obvious that guy is not playing fpl, this game is just too exciting for him..
Open Controls
Indeed... had the family huddled round the computer.
Just imagine what the previous record holder felt doing that 50 years ago... it puts it into perspective.Open Controlsyeah that was a nice touch him talking him through it.... he still kept his freefall record...
I have jumped 13.5 thousand feet and can't imagine being almost ten times higher... unbelievableOpen Controls
Has anyone got a good idea of how to get some Man U cover in when their fixtures becoming amazing?
I'm sort of hoping that one of their midfielders gets their act together (and that this midfielder is not an OOP Roonpig).Open ControlsI currently have RVP and think I'm best keeping for now. He looks the most likely to keep his place and score big points.
Open Controlsdefender maybe.. that's all i have.. i'd like one player more but don't know what to do either..
Open ControlsKeep an eye on Valencia
Open ControlsBeyond RVP Kagawa is clearly the answer. He might be getting subbed off at 60/70 mins in games but he will score the most goals of a Man Utd midfielder this season imo.
Open Controls
This is true in my opinion
Open Controls
Wow, just wow...
How long do I have to wait now until the final 8 BB episodes are on?
Damn mid-season intervals, worse than International Breaks... 😕Open Controls
Big Brother is for chavs 😉
Open ControlsAlthough mid season break where they turn all power off and stop feeding them would be good!
Open Controls
Jesus wept, Zep!!! 😕
Open Controls
That reminds me.
BB, Wire and Homeland £118 Amazon.
I'm on ze verge of pulling ze trigger.Open ControlsCan't you just *cough* download it *cough* for free?
Regardless, watching the Wire is the best decision you will make...
B.B. is also very good... haven't seen Homeland yet...Open ControlsOr the seafaring free option instead of Netflix.
Homeland is good but nowhere near as good as Breaking Bad which is nowhere near as good as The Wire.Open ControlsYes the Wire > Breaking Bad...
Although in fairness, Breaking Bad is still nothing less that brilliant script writing...Open Controls
i'd like a nice colonoscopy, rather than watch another episode of bb
Open Controls
Which two should I pick?
HBA vs Sunderland away
Pienaar v QPR away
Sterling v Reading homeOpen Controls
Hiya guys, is aguero worth having from the start of next gameweek? will he be thrown in to the start of every game ya reckon?
Open ControlsWho is the biggest diver?
Felix Baumgartner
or
Luis Suarez?Open ControlsSuarez, if he'd done what Felix did, he have rolled over about 10 more times
Open Controls
Felix Baumgartner @FeIixBaumgartnr
I hope Luis Suarez was watching. THAT is how you dive.Open Controls

Best option to play for the coming week guys, Sterling or Barfa?
Open Controls
i'm starting sterling over HBA this week, he'll prob come off my bench though with injuries
Open Controls
I am sorry. For once, I feel that this is a muddy article ... 🙁
Open Controls
Not on here much, but any advice would be appreciated.
I bit the bullet and sold RVP so I could use funds elsewhere. Bought Tevez and Suarez, the latter set as captain for a one week punt.
Will use next weeks FT for upgrading defence.
My question to ye, if ye would be so kind, is Who to bench out of my mildfield? Bale would have the hardest fixture me thinks.
Foster (Davis)
Rafael, Demel, Cuellar (McAuley)
Pienaar, Ben Arfa, Santi Cazorla, Yaya Toure, Bale
Tevez, Suarez, Ba
Thanks in advance guysOpen Controlsnot on here much?
it's the second time i've seen this exact same post today.Open ControlsYa, I copied and pasted this again to see if I can get a few extra opinions. You know yourself.
Open Controls
your front 8 is too good, you will have this problem every week. Since you have Ba I'd sell Barfa and get in a cheap mid like Kebe, Puncheon, or, lord save me, Noble. You also appear to be missing a defender.
If you are going in to this GW with that front 8 I'd bench Barfa.Open Controls

I'm here all week guys.Open ControlsHow long will Fellaini be out?
Open ControlsHe wants to get in for the X factor results..
Open ControlsYour not funny.
Open ControlsCan you stop stealing my lines please

he shits himself at anything over 30km
Open ControlsBecause Red Bull doesn't give you wings...contrary to reports.

2 quickies:
1) what is the fellaini injury latest?
2) have aguero who i am happ with, worth swapping out lambert and/or RVP for jelly and/or suarez
thanksOpen Controls
Anyone captaining Michu?... did it last week, but I think he has potential this week to explode.
Open ControlsIs it just me that notices this, or do our trolls extend each other the trolling courtesy of trolling at different times?
Or, maybe it's just the same person with multiple accounts... I find it strange how I never seem to see them on at the same time...:???:Open ControlsI do notice them.
But not nearly enough to satisfy their pathetically childish need for constant attention.Open ControlsBless them. It's just a lack of attention as a child. I blame the parents
