There were some unfamiliar names on top of the ICT Index this week, snuggled alongside the return to form of Carlos Tevez and Leighton Baines, while Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie again provided shifts to acquire another wave of Fantasy attention. The Members Area is packed with the latest data from the weekend’s games and our Big Numbers article has picked through the goodies to find the stats that caught our eye…
Out for 2 more weeks. He'll defo get his place back.

I liked replying before people had asked the question. 🙂
Open Controls
I am looking at about five different moves and scaringly not one of them involves getting Mata or Bale
I think I am losing itOpen ControlsI am not going to do them all at one but am looking at
Vorm to Tremmel (will play Bego until WC in Jan) frees up 1.5
Ivanovic to Simpson (frees up more cash, although no rush on this one)
Guthrie to someone (looking at McAnuff but really am not sure if I want to waste a transfer)
Ba to Jelly / Pog
Lambert to someone depending on funds available (Pog would mean I could go RVP / Rooney but it's Pog)
I really don't know what I am going to do at the moment..
just hoping Ba is okOpen Controls
Keep clear of the Pog, at all costs.....they scored three at the w/e and he wasn't involved in on....total waste mate, believe me, been there done that.....imo
Open ControlsThanks I know but...
you're right I will think againOpen Controls
Also interested in that keeper move to free up some dosh but I love the Migs-Bego combo.
I think Lambert out should be your top priority.Open Controlshe's beginning to piss me off.. If Ba is ok he may go this week
Open Controls
Same.... 😉
Open Controlsfor some reason.. I am not looking at him.. i don't think he will continue to do well
Open Controls
I have one free transfer. I have Haz as chelsea coverage. My mind is telling me "No, do NOT swap Caz to mata yet. It is not the right time. You've been hurt before.".
Oscar is another chelsea player who is in my watchlist ;). First assistence today and I've seen this guy in inter do porto alegre.
Im telling you this guy is CLASS guys.Open Controls
Morning folks. Has anyone spotted ENR yet?
Open ControlsLateriser Paul Lateriser!
Open ControlsLateriser is not actually because i wake up late. Its actually because i had a good second half to the season last year.
Open Controls
Why not silencer? Arent you proud of your indian name? Pranil?
Open ControlsOf course i am. I don't want my league peers to know i am here is all.
Open Controls
No.. off licking his wounds probably..
Open Controls
One question, Lateriser, are you keeping Toure?
Open Controls
I guess I will keep Fletcher (vs AVL) for now. Waiting on Ba's injury news. Otherwise, offloading Toure for either a Walter or Valencia.
Open Controls
i think i am going to regret ta mata move i have already done 🙁
wanted to have OScar . but the price rise forced me to do itOpen ControlsI was thinking Oscar too but Mata is in terribly good form, and you will earn some money on him as well.
Open Controls
Of course I hope they're both fine and get better soon, but worst case scenario:
Berbs is injured and Ba is fit, however, Ba injured and Berbs fine, I could live with.....Open Controlsplease explain the logic here Jafooli.. I am sure there is some but I don't get it
Open Controls
is it crazy to not have rvp on the next few weeks? anyone think he could be rested (wishful thinking)?
Open Controls
Crazy....
Open ControlsWishful thinking. United are pretty much through with the Champions league as well.
Open Controlshaha yeah was afraid of that
any ideas on who to downgrade:
bego, jussi
baines, hangeland, jenkinson, demel, davies
bale, cazorla, hazard, pienaar, sterling
suarez, tevez, berbs
1.3 spareOpen Controls
So anyone looking at Walcott for Arsenal's good run? He might be the one to have. Jackoff, thoughts?
Open Controls
Yeah he could be the ultimate differential at some point. On another note...Baines would so be on for Baps if it wasn't for that bloody own goal...his stats are insane as ever.
Open ControlsOwn goal doesn't count for too much -PPI i would like to imagine mate. Wishful thinking.
Open ControlsWho knows...such a pity really though as he got an assist but we only get 2 points for it.
Open ControlsFair play for gambling on Sagna btw...you must know Wenger personally...I'm a bit suspicious.
On another unrelated note, RVP and Mata absolutely dominated the match yesterday...I wouldn't be surprised if they share the 3 Baps...Open ControlsA tie? Sagna like i said it was a short term punt, but also a long term move. I like having a good defence for some odd reason.
Open Controlstbh it's a big debate in my head whether to stick with Rafael and another 5+ like Sagna/Riise etc. I'm possibly planning though to slowly go more and more uber cheap as I go along. I'm thinking there is potential bargains in the likes Norwich/QPR etc defensively...teams that haven't a hope if they don't keep it tight at home...which they've started to do...there is some logic to it...the big teams just don't seem as bothered keeping CS at times!
Open Controls
Santi is in but i am finding it very difficult to manage the budget and no one is really doing it for Arsenal. Theo was injured as well. If he starts the next one, at 0.7 cheaper than Santi, he could be a good should you reckon?
Open Controls
After yesterday, anyone without The Big Three, is just going to find it harder going.
Open ControlsI am without Bale and i am doing alright. What has really done me proud this season is having a good defence. Massively underrated around these parts. They are 4 slots in your team. 4.
Open ControlsI only have one of Mata, Bale and RVP if that is the big three.. am hoping Hazard and Cazorla make it the fantastic five
At least I have the head honchoOpen Controls
Are all the Reading defenders pretty much the same? Is it worth spending 0.2 more on Shorey over Gorkss. Who is nailed on'ish?
Open ControlsGorkss is nailed on.
Open Controls
Any FPLcup teams on tonight?
Open ControlsSeeing there is quite a few good ranks around.
http://www.torresmagic.webs.com/leaguecodes.htm
FPL Open & Elite 63 entry by rank.Open ControlsSince its a little quiet, i could do with more help.
Begovi Mccarthy
Baines Rafael Sagna Clyne Gorkss
Michu Mata Santi Pienaar Sterling
RVP Berba Tevez
0.5 in the bank.
A) What would be your bench for this GW?
B) How would you get Ba in after this GW?Open ControlsMy midfield is this
Sterling Michu Hazard Cazorla Fellaini.
I've benched Cazorla but since United are poor in defense i'm afraid that Caz scores or something.
Ditching Sagna or Rafael for someone cheaper?Open ControlsTheir runs after next week are incredibly good.
Open ControlsYeah, specially Rafael.
But wait to see what happen with Ba, he's injured apparentely.Open ControlsHe's not in this GW. I kind of hope he gets a flag so that he does not rise.
Open Controls
Granted Michu and Fellaini get away without a yellow card, of course.
Open Controls
A Sterlo, Gorkss, Clyne ito
B Has to be a straight swap for Tevez unless you downgrade those expensive defenders you bought in behind my back.Open ControlsI am thinking that too, unless Theo starts. All those defenders offer good value though and aren't really that expensive. Rafael was in from the start of the season, hence the good value.
Open Controls
Did you just do Jaask & Yaya > McCarthy & Mata for a hit?
Hmmm that looks tasty...Open Controls
A) Bench Sterling+ Michu/Pienaar.
B) Berba+Rafa/Pienaar-->Ba+??Open Controls
Projected transfers depending on Ba injury:
A) Foster+Santi+Berba --> Tremmel+McAnuff+RVP (-4)
B) Santi+Ba --> RVP+McAnuff
Thoughts on this??Open ControlsCan you show us your team Acqua?
Open ControlsSorry, tired.
Bego, Foster
Baines, Saylor, Gallas, Hughes, Demel
Hazard, Bale, Santi, Pienaar, Sterling
Tevez, Ba, Berba
Plan is to rotate McAnuff with Sterling.Open ControlsYep. I like those transfers. I reckon you could avoid the hit in case of A if Berba is fit and get RVP next week.
Hazard-> Mata is always an option if you need funds.Open ControlsYeah just depends whether RVP will go bananas vs. Arsenal or not.
To hit or not to hit..Open Controls
B
Better than the choice you put up yeterdayOpen ControlsI think B is worth the hit.
You clearly keen on the changes , just do it . Van persie needed now imo, you cant afford to wait , he will be massive capt choice this week , you risk being left way behindOpen ControlsB or A??
B would be for free(have 2FT)
A would be for a hit, worth it?
All depends on Ba's injury though, on great formOpen Controls
Not keen. Has to be some major freeing up of cash to get RVP in. My way is the uber-d; no point losing Fos and Santi now.
Open ControlsRVP is worth it. Valid captain choice every week, and Utd's fixtures look juicy
Open Controls
What is with Ben Arfa? Not going to ship him out beecause of fixtures but is he even having any chances?!
Open ControlsNot seen the games mate.
Open Controls
He does not play well away games. If he even can not score at home now. I don't know to be honest.
Open ControlsHe's not as effective in a 4-4-2...He's the only player in the Newcastle team that can really dribble but he's usually not far enough forward for them to turn into assists and he doesn't cross the ball like a normal winger would...he's usually cutting inside and basically trying to run the pitch to score himself. It works every now and again but in the 4-4-2 this becomes harder for him to do so easily. When they switched to 4-3-3 last year HBA was bringing in the points like there was no tommorow. But with Ba and Ameobi up front it's all about the 'Long ball....Ameobi heads it onto Ba to run onto' thing
Open Controlsahh ok, thanks 🙁
I will keep faith in him as I actually like him as a player! and I don't know who else I would get...maybe Michu again after Newcastles fixtures get worse and Swanseas pick up...or Oscar?! :OOpen ControlsHe's a great player...I like him too...I would stick with him if you've got him...hopefully he gets a goal or two!
Open Controls
Hey Lat,
Lot of knee jerking options for me this week which I want to share
Hba ----> Bale ( as long term strategy). Positive point is HBA has good fixtures vs Bales form.
Nolan ----> Mcnuff. Rdg playing Nor and QPR up next vs Wham - MC and NC. It can save funds too. 1.2
Carzola ----> Bale. Dont support this option much as both are class
My forwards are Ba, Crouch and Fletcher.
I would require Roon and Jelly for GW 10 and 12 for good fixtures. Manu ( Villa, Nor), Eve (Nor, qpr)
Also on my mind is to get Tevez if Ba is injured.
Keeping Forwards of Roon, Tev, Jelly would be difficult to accomodate + getting Bale in would be a tough option.
Or what else I can have as Manu coverage - Valencia and Rafael / Evans can work but Rooney seems in form.
I dont want to take out Ivan but if i need them I have to sacrifice him for Fonte i guess.
Let me know your opions on the same.Open ControlsShow us your team, FT and cash in bank.
Open ControlsJask , Davies
Ivan, Clark, Ridg, Baines, Demel
HBA, Santi, Pienar, Mata, Nolan
Ba, Crouch, Fletcher
+ 5.2 in the bankOpen ControlsIvan out first surely and bank the cash. Get a stoke defender in. Then upgrade and get in RVP or Mata.
Open Controlshes already got Mata , try and keep up 🙂
Open ControlsLat,
Already have Mata.
Rvp is way costly to get in.
Should i remove HBA for Bale or HBA for Mcnuff
Mcnuff has 2 good fixtures coming up
Bale can be long term
Will wait for Ba injury update too or swap him for TevezOpen Controls
Change fletcher into RVP asap
Open Controls
On second thoughts, I decide to go with the fix rather than chasing after differentials and market trends. Thoughts about this? One FT and a hit.
(1) Clark > Rafael
(2) Friedel > McCarthyOpen ControlsOh booooooooolllllllllllllooooooooocks, Chelsea vs Utd again this week!!!! None of the big guns are going to get rested, apart from Ivanoivc and Torres (mybe small gun, or even bow & arrow)
.....oh nad more red cards for sure (Evans or Rafael). Where's it being played?Open ControlsSame place.
Open Controls
Anyone unhappy about selling Suarez last week? Just noticed he did well again.
Open ControlsI really hope Giroud gets his phantom assist removed, since our H2H depends on it... 😉
Open ControlsYou just noticed this?
Open ControlsI knew it was 2-2 but didn't know who scored for Pool.
Open Controls
Morning.. 🙂
I need to lose either Gerrard or Cazorla
I suspect I know the answer looking at other posts, but who would you keep?Open ControlsMorning WR......keep Carzola as I think you have Suarez correct?
Open ControlsI do, but I don't buy into this coverage thing, it comes down to who will score most, Gerrard or Cazorla.
Open Controls
Said so yesterday, will say it again. Lose Gerrard. 🙂
Open ControlsAnd morning. Also, WR, why i say lose Gerrard is because there is a much much cheaper in form option around by the name of Raheem Sterling.
Open Controls
Thanks all
Open Controls
Lads, whats the general consensus with Rooney? Plays deeper in away game, or just when against tougher opposition?
Open ControlsPlays deeper against touch opposition should be correct. I don't think he will outscore RVP for the whole season. 🙂
Open Controls
So I read somewhere that Bale has a history of scoring against Wigan, can someone inform me of this history?
Open ControlsBale scored 2 against them last year in this fixture...
Open Controls
Is this the craziest plan ever or what?!
Mata, Hazard, Oscar in midfield!! I call it the triple threatOpen Controlsso its good have this team? for the next gw?
looking towards the ba injury,otw will have to take a hit
http://i.imgur.com/BKK6N.pngOpen Controls
And why exactly Ba hasn't been flagged yet?
Pardews words not enough to make him doubtful?Open ControlsI'd just like to let you all know that I've sold 99% of all my players in Fifa Ultimate Team 13 to acquire
90 IF Rooney.
On that note, I'm off to bed.
Hoping to see some nice bonus for tmrw, how's this look?
Ba 3 Tevez 3 Berba 1 Bale 3 Baines 0/1Open Controls
11 years, 6 months agoAny news on Demel. Will he be fit soon and if so will he get his place back?
Hammers fans are you out there?
