Norwich City’s Robert Snodgrass tops our ICT Index rankings going into the final two matches of Gameweek 16. With Wigan’s James McCarthy and Swansea’s Jonathan De Guzman keeping Michu company in the top four, our rankings have an unfamiliar look about them as the dust settles on 48-hours of action. All the statistics behind our ICT Index can be examined in full in the members area and, as usual, we put the weekend to bed with our selection of the eye-catching figures on show…

Got 2 FT but may just do 1 this GW, Bale to Santi.
Easy to swap back to Bale when he returns then.Open Controls-
afro? or maybe walcott if fit. or what about dempsey for the time being?
Open Controls-
Fellaini has a tough game this week away to Stoke, Santi away to Reading looks juicy.
Plus makes it easier to get Bale back in one move.Open Controls

A) Silva or Dempsey or Walcott
B) Torres or Defoe
C) Puncheon or NolanOpen Controls-
A.Dempsey
B.Defoe
C,PuncheonOpen Controls

Hats off to SAF, his mind game about the penalty thing really worked and put pressure on the official right away regarding all decision.......He knew his defense line was weak so he needed this thing to get away with the Penalty decision....Great Man....
Open Controls-
Playing fair is good imo not dirty tricks and mind games. It's actually pathetic.
Open Controls-
Using the media to your advantage is part of being a manager, and SAF is pretty good at it.
Open Controls-
Yes he is but that should have nothing to do with it. Football is sport not politics,
Open Controls
-
-
what is he supposed to do when a week before the Derby he sees his team concede 3 goals within an hour of play against a team whose attack is not that well, its all fair imo....its all about the title thing....When it comes to CL these mind games doesn't matter, either you bring the team that have the ability to win games or u go home thinking to come good next season...

maloney, michu, sterling, afro
rvp, suarez
foster, sess, cueller, lambertOpen Controls -
Morning folks,
Do we fancy a bit of Arsenal and City defensive cover?
For me t's a choice between Nastasic and Mertesacker/Sagna in for Cuellar (or Enrique if he's injured), but I can't decide which I like more.
There's no doubt any absence for Kompany will dent Nasty's appeal but he'd still surely be decent value.Open Controls-
Think I'm gonna keep taking the price rises for Bego then get Hart and downgrade Zabaletta before h gets rotated.
Open Controls-
debated getting Hart but I can't afford his price... went Bego / Jaask instead
Open Controls-
I think I'm gonna get cheap defensive west ham cover instead of Zabs and do it that way. Lets face it, other than Kompany, Hart is the only sure fire way into City defence.
Open Controls

-
I prefer Citeh defence to Arsenal's..
Open Controls
-
Can anyone try to tell me prediction of my H2H :
6 pts + Sessegnon
VS
Cuellar + Fletcher (Sterling on the bench if Fletcher doesnt play)
ThanksOpen Controls -
So with Xmas just around the corner and a busy fixture list ahead, what's the general consensus on must have players over the period?
Open Controls-
for me the must have players are the ones who will start every game
so Suarez, Michu, Fellaini to name three.. I think based on SAF comments Rooney may as well
Even though I have RVP I think he may miss oneOpen Controls-
+1.
There are a lot of players I'd like to own but few I think are essential due to doubts over game-time.Open Controls
-
Reeeeeeaaaaallly want to hit that WC button right now 😕
Open Controls-
go on then.. would be stupid but if you reeeeeeeaaaallly want to you have "the power"
Open Controls-
It's probably a bit silly to do it so close to the Jan WC. I'll try not to 😉
Open Controls-
of course it is... stop fretting because you had a bad week... You are up there, just maintain an iota of sanity and you will finish top 1K, If you have a bit of luck top 100.. anything else would be amazing but is unlikely...
Open Controls-
Thanks Old School, could do with a bit of sanity now. 😛
Open Controls-
Don't listen to that guy. Dream BIG. Aim for 1st place!!!
Open Controls-
I am aiming for 1st place myself.... will settle for top 1K though...
Talking about using a WC close to the January one is stupid... Especially as there will be a DGW at some stage that could then jump him up to that position if he is closeOpen Controls
-

-
-
I played my WC last season around this time and it was a huge waste, partly because a lot of the 'essential' players suffered from rotation - Nani comes to mind.
Open Controls

Your team looks decent enough to me. Nice rank also.
Open Controls-
Thanks Epic but my defense is a bit of a mess atm.

Looks like I'm doomed next GW. Got Puncheon, Mata and Fonte as GW absentees, so basically I have to rely on 4-3-3 in which case I'm basically fxcked. Jose Enrique injured, even though BR played down the injury scare and my all other defenders have very tough fixtures. Literally have no idea what I should do... should I take a hit or something... either way, I expect a very low scoring from this team... unless RVP or Suarez hit a brace or hat-trick each. Anyone help?
Open Controls-
Enrique seems like he will play. RVP and Suarez have huge potential next week. Just ride it out. You'll be fine.
Open Controls-
-
Why do you think that?
Open Controls
-
-
My only worry is midfield and defenders. Defenders are probably goners but the pressures are piling up on my midfielders to do well. I have one FT. You reckon I should do Mata to someone else and then get him back sometime soon again?
Open Controls-
No. Just hold. Look at Matas fixtures after his break. You have big hitters that will see you through.
Open Controls
-
-
-
You realise this now? Maybe you should check upcoming fixtures and plan for them in the future!
Open Controls -
Wonder if everyone who's getting Puncheon in now knows he has a blank this GW.
Open Controls-

and those getting suarez out he has a gt GW
12000+ sold him :pOpen Controls

Anyone think Wisdom is likely to get back into the Pool side?
Open Controls -
30 pts + Pouncheon and possible Nelsen pts off bench ( in case that gorkss wont play)
and still have Berba C and Ba to play
bad gw so far
how serious is enrique injuree?i wanna get gibbson inOpen Controls-
just a wee bit tight.. should be fine.

1ft Bring in : Ba > Suarez Or
Sess > Dempsey which will evolve to either Mata/bale
Any thoughts ?Open Controls -
-
need to get gorkss out for any defender in the game except baines
what are you suggestions
WC will be triggered immediatly when available so looking only for the next 4-5 fixturesOpen Controls -
Need a morale boost gents...
am 80 points behind in my ML...can be gap be closed with half the season almost over:(
luckily he doesnt have dgw players and i can cueller, sess (as cpt) and fletch...thats an extra 8 points...Open Controls-
Of course it can you just need to stick in, make sensible decisions and have a bit or luck on the way. After a miserable 4 weeks I've dropped like a stone and currently sit around 250k, I won't give up til I'm back in the top 10k. Stick with it.
Open Controls -
keep playing your game and things will change
just by the time the WC is triggered in january make sure your players are not too similar
otherwise u will be stuck in his shadow till the end of the season
personally i lost 60pt lead over couple of rivals without really doing anything wrongOpen Controls-
i had michu on the bench last week and rafael this week....that like 25 points:(

TW. What's this new round of Council leagues I hear? The ones already in addition to the one I'm in (Serie A)?
Open Controls-
The second season. Each season runs for 19 GWs and then people get relegated, with others taking their place.

Keep thinking I'm set for a big GW, but keep failing. Hardly ever getting my captain choice right is not helping, bad transfers for hits, injuries bla bla bla. Never asked for RMT before but I must be doing something wrong and need some help. So how's this for next week? FT will be Ruddy to Reina.
Reina (AVL)
Rafael (SUN) - O'Brien (wba) - Cameron (EVE)
HRK (ARS) - Michu (tot) - Cazorla (rea) - Duff (qpr)
Berba (qpr) - Suarez(c) (AVL) - Ba (MCI)
Mig (mau) - Fellaini (sto) - Nasta (new) - Nelsen (FUL)
Haven't been able to get rid of Duff but he'll be gone in GW 18 for Bale/Mata
Starting Duff instead of Fellaini as I have a Stoke defender and hoping they keep a CS at home once again.
Starting O'Brien instead of Nasta/Nelsen because I have Fulham and Newcastle attackers, who I'm banking on to score (avoiding conflicts of interest essentially).
Only other option which still avoids conflicts is Cameron + Ba OUT - Nasta + Fellaini IN
Is my thinking or team off anywhere? I'm thinking once Duff is out for Mata or Bale I have a solid team, but maybe I'm missing something obvious?Open Controls-
If you avoid conflicts of interest you are gambling on everything going your way.
IMO you are crazy to be benching Fellaini, especially to play HRK away to Arsenal instead.
Also you think West Ham are more likely to get a clean sheet than Man City? I'm not convinced and think you should check the bookies oddsOpen Controls-
Thanks, for reply. With my terrible rank I need to gamble everything going my way I think, but I know what you mean.
HRK is actually home to Arsenal, would you still prefer Fellaini? If Man City more likely for clean sheet, there is no point playing Ba right? So would you go Cameron + Ba OUT – Nasta + Fellaini IN?Open Controls
-
-
Play Felli and get Mata for HRK whoever that is
Open Controls -
I never worry about conflict this isn't helping your train of thought form over fixture for me.
I would play Afro he will bully Shawx ,
Play Nasty as well
Rooney would be nice for Ba maybe
Team is decent keep an eye on here for tips - theyre usually spot on.Open Controls-
Thanks for advice. I was planning Ba out in GW 19 before he plays mau,ars.EVE but will only have 11.5m for a striker
Really not sure on Fellaini vs Stoke though. Being a spurs fan I watched our game this weekend and Fellaini didn't really bully Caulker/Gallas. Shaw/Huth is tougher than that + Stoke's amazing CS recordOpen Controls

Morning all,
What would you do with this this week.............
Bego
Garrido | McAuley | O'Brien
Silva| Sterling | Fellaini | Michu
Tevez | Berbatov | RVP c
Sess | Shorey | Cuellar..............4 M in bank.
Currently thinking -
A. Upgrade defender to Johnson or Shawcross
B. Silva to Santo or Gerrard
C. Tevez to Rooney
D. Save
CheersOpen Controls -
1FT, Suarez, Tevez, Ba. No United attacking assets, should i draft RVP or Rooney in.
To get RVP/Rooney, my midfield have to take a hit,
mata-afro-bale-michu, who to give up?Open Controls-
I would get Rooney over the holiday, but maybe RVP longer term.
Open Controls -
Get Rooney for Bale
Open Controls -
Of those, Mata.
What about DEF? Can you plunder cash there?Open Controls

Any thoughts on JMorrison? Not scored much recently, having played deeper. Brunt seems to be emerging - see the article. But Baggies entering a good run of fixtures. I'm tempted to swap Morrison for a cheapie, maybe Snodgrass or Puncheon. Anyone else thinking about this?
Open Controls -
Mignolet Begovic
Cuellar Cameron Nelsen Gorkss Rafael
Silva Michu Fellaini Nolan Sterling
Rvp Berbatov Fletcher
1 FT, 6.6 in the bank
I think I'll be doing Fletcher ➡ Suarez this week but my defence will be a shambles next week..... hurry up January WC ❗Open Controls -
i really like the look of WBA next 3 fixures so i might do Bale ➡ Brunt
have a good feeling about him
another possibility is Morrison obviously
or shal i play safe and just do Bale ➡ Dempsey ?Open Controls -
35pts and 36 on the bench :-). Can anyone beat that?
Open Controls -
Does anyone think that Bale and Walcott are not good singings until 2013 ?
Bale might get another yellow, and Wlacott may leave arsenalOpen Controls-
There are many heavy hitter MFs to choose from, therefore go with fixtures. You can rotate Mata, Bale, Silva etc in and out. The keepers are the value guys - Michu, Fellaini etc.

Enrique out Johnson in?
Open Controls-
Sure, but why?
