Illness postponed Sunday’s regular rinse through the members area stats for the Gameweek but the unfortunate delay has at least allowed us to bring proceedings to a close with a data blast. While the likes of Carlos Tevez and Luis Suarez understandably dominated the ICT Index rankings, here’s a look under the hood at some of the other protagonists from a Gameweek brimming with attacking verve…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Guys I'm stuck on this weeks trans (either option is free)

    A - Berb > Ba

    B - Ivan> Clichy and Nolan > Walcott

    Leaning towards B, but I think Ba is about to have a very good few weeks

      Agree he is a stronger option than either. But this doesn't mean Silva isn't worth owning. Anything Tevez does will involve Silva or Aguero and most of City's goals will involve Silva. Best midfield option atm bar Walcott imo.

    On a positive note, Gibbs back is great news being a Sagna owner.

    Thinking about using my WC.

    Federici -> Begovic
    Baines -> Shorey
    Pienaar -> Fellaini
    Bale -> Johnson
    Berbatov -> Suarez

    To leave me with the following team.

    Jaaskelainen – Begovic
    Rangel – Cameron – Jones B – Cuellar – Shorey
    Sterling – Fellaini – Michu – Silva – Johnson A
    Ba – Suarez – Van Persie

    Is it worth doing?

      Don't think so. If you do I'd want better options than Rangel and Billy Jones (rotation once Reid is fit).

    Alright chaps, got a couple ideas with this team,
    Begovic – Julio Cesar
    Baines – Rafael -Hughes – McCartney – Stam
    Cazorla – Pienaar – Walters – Morrison – Noble
    van Persie – Aguero – Berbatov
    2 FTs, 0.6 in bank

    A) Hughes > Cuellar this GW, Downgrade Baines and upgrade Pienaar/Walters next GW for Fellaini/Mata
    B) Downgrade Aguero (which I would hate) to say Ba, mad upgrade Walters/Pienaar next GW
    C) any other options you would recommend,

    but I’m thinking A, midfield should be more important than defence as it will score more points, and as much as I’d hate to get rid of Baines I think my midfield needs a workover as my main priority
    cheers

      I'm not a fan of Hughes to Cuellar, as they're both really good value and I've had them both from the start. I think, if you really want to upgrade Pienaar/Walters, you'll have to downgrade one of Aguero and RVP. You can do RVP to Suarez, and upgrade alter to an expensive mid, though I'm not sure if anyone would be comfortable with doing that..

        cheers everyone, your opinions greatly appreciated,

        think I'm gonna go with A, can't bring myself to downgrade RVP or Aguero,

      B. Just bring in Tevez - both will score similarly til the end of the season so why have the expensive one?

          In some games. In others Tevez will outscore him. Aguero won't outscore Tevez by enough to make his price worth it imo.

    I see Wenger has declared that Theo is going nowhere.

    So that means that Theo is gone.

    I remember that manager of Arsenal FC publicly declaring that noone was leaving Arsenal...

    Less than 48 hours later, the club captain, Fabregas left. Eboue too.

    Now Theo has a shoulder injury...

    Even tho it happened around the 60th minute, he played on, very well, even scoring a goal in the 91st minute.

    Begovic - Foster
    Cuellar - Rafael - Cameron - Demel
