A Gameweek tainted by no less than three 0-0 stalemates still saw several protagonists produce strong statistical shifts. Jordi Gomez and Stephane Sessegnon led the way in our ICT Index rankings and are amongst the players picked out in this week’s Big Numbers, our summary of some of the key stats on show from the weekend’s action…

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

            I got rid of him that week, but got him back 2 weeks ago.

            he absolutely owned Newcastle today, best player on the pitch. Under the old BP system he'd have got 3 BPs instead of 2, but a couple of shots of target and a yc lowered his PPI

                Puncheon also impressive, Lallana was good no doubt, but I felt Ramirez offered something different, that little spark of genius. I see a bandwagon ready to take off

              Thanks. Food for thought. My idea originally was to rotate him H/A with Taarabt. I like his chances for points v. NOR. Not totally confident MUN will roll West Ham, so I am thinking about an alternative to RvP.

      Norwich is looking good but doesn't seem to score at ease yet, although it is Southampton who just got their first CS of the season.
      Both Newcastle and QPR are in their lows.

      My take is bench either Cameron or Cuellar, depends on who do you think will get back to their feet first, NEW or QPR?

    Currently stuck, definitely have players I need to ship out, but can't seem to prioritize/find suitable replacement:

    Begovic (Vorm)
    Rafael Cuellar Clyne (Olsson Gorkks)
    Bale Cazorla Oscar Michu (Pienaar)
    Suarez Tevez Lambert

    1 FT, 2.0m in bank

    I'm looking to trade Pienaar and Oscar.

    But now with Oscar looking to play more of in the hole instead of rotating, he looks kinda interesting. Add to that the fact that Southampton's recommended covers are Llalana, Pucheon, and Ramirez. Having both Lambert and Clyne just hinders me to get one of them.

    Any ideas? Mine are AJ/Sess/Charlie Adam

        The Arsenal team was set up for him, the Man United team isnt. And that to me says not worth 13M. Though I am not committed to that train of thought yet

          He would be better value if still at Arsenal but I still think he's the best player in the game. Add in a good run of fixtures and there's no way I can sell him.

          I am totally with you here. Man Utd score too many anonymous goals...by random punters like Evans/Fletcher/Hernandez...it's unnecessary and it's no fun for anybody. At Arsenal he was the only guy in the team who could score a goal = FPL gold. Much like Ba and Suarez (at their best)

        Yeh I like the sound of that actually. Im just wondering whether it is necessary to trade this week or not. I can comfortably field 4 defenders and play 4-3-3 this week then make a decision on who to get for Maloney (if he is out for a while) before the weekend.

          Ah yes you could perhaps save a transfer then.

          Playing Baines Rafael Clark and Cuellar would not be a bad option this week

          Then do Maloney > Puncheon/Lallana/Ramirez and another transfer with 2 FTs

        Darren Bent is fit again don't you think Benteke might be the most likely to get rested and open way for him?

      Benteke looks great, but worthy of a precious strikers spot...I don't know

    Play Taarabt vs Sunderland or Sterling vs Tottenham? Keep flipping it. Or sell Taarabt for puncheon?

        Still takes more shots than Sterling. But agreed. Have Sterling in line-up. Might save transfer and go Baines to Enrique and Taarabt to Adam Johnson before the double.

    So, I`m getting rid of Ba, at least until Cabaye and Ben Arfa are back. My plan was to replace him with Tevez, but also considering Giroud and Defoe. I don`t have any City coverage, and that`s worrying me a little bit.

    Any thoughts?

    Begovic - Jaaskelainen
    Baines - Rafael - Gorkss - Clyne - Cuellar
    Mata - Cazorla - Michu - Sterling - Maloney
    RvP - Ba - Suarez.

    1,3M in the bank.

      I'm thinking Ba to Tevez myself, just worried that he's been benched the last two games, i know that should mean he will start against wigan but still, not sure if i should go for aguero or silva instead

      Since you have no MCY coverage, Ba -> Tevez makes sense. However, their fixtures aren't amazing, and I'd expect some rotation in the MCY forward line, especially around the congested xmas schedule. Wouldn't get Defoe now either, as they have 3 tricky fixtures up next. I'd consider a 3 week punt on Fletcher (QPR, nor, REA/CHE), and then switch him to Giroud/Tevez/Defoe in GW17 after the DGW.

        Hadn`t really considered Fletcher, but it makes sense. Guess I can survive without City coverage until GW 17. West Brom have decent fixtures coming up, except for ars and mun. Long could be a punt as well, but maybe a bit riskier than Fletcher.

    Got a few options with 2FT

    1.Baines + Ba > Cuellar + Aguero

    2.Cazorla + Ba > Sess + Tevez

    3. Cazorla > Silva

    Any of these look worth doing?
