The Big Numbers – Gameweek 16

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…

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

    Fletcher and Pienaar to X and Y

    Budget = 14.4

    (Rest of front 8: Michu, Fellaini, Cazorla, Sterling, RVP & Suarez)

      lennon-berba or defoe/kaca based on fixtures.
      i'd do puncheon+someone expensive though. i think sterling will do fine as starter

        Cheers, Kaca could be an option. But yeah I see that Punch and Defoe/Ade probably is the way to go. Just wish Tevez was nailed on...

      I was a big advocate of selling Bale last week, but if you've kept him this far you might as well wait for the next set of news before you decide. He's not falling tonight.

    My ML leader took a 16pt hit and got 97points this week.

    Because of injuries I took an 8pt hit and I'm on 67 so far with Cuellar and Sess(C) still to play.

    Why didn't I just captain Michu, which I would have done for certain had there been no double GW. Michu (VC), Clyne on the bench with a gleaming 10 points.

    Need to stay calm and not take any hits this week.

    So Cuellar to ? sub 5.5m defender please ?

        Hmm possibly, no real chance of attacking returns, but a solid pick, added to watchlist.

        Anyone considered Caulker ? Or Spurs unlikely to keep many clean sheets ?

          Already got Caulker, he's a decent price, and he's already grabbed a couple of goals (albeit one of em bouncing in off his arse)...

          Sagna is taking turns with Jenkinson, a game each at the minute, Gibbs is a good shout though 🙂

      Never done this before, but I am struggling; what is the deal with this mess:

      Begovic, Jussi,
      Enrique, McAuley, Cameron, Cuellar, Shorey,
      Cazorla, Fellaini, Sterling, Nolan, (Just did Mata to Michu)
      RVP, Suarez, Berbatov

      It doesn't look bad right? I've lost points on the bench and I think outside of RVP's hattrick I've missed virtually all the big hauls - Hazard/Mata at the start, had the opposite one in; had Cazorla and Michu at the start but missed both their little runs of points, missed out on Bale, only got Suarez in last week...

      Now dropped down to 360,000....

        Your current squad looks alright to me... certainly no major surgery needed right now... if you don't get all knee-jerky and start chasing points this lot should help you climb the rankings...

            Pilko is right, nothing major needs done. Shift Cuellar, and at some point Nolan. Patience is what's needed.

          Seriously thinking a atm. But it only because I already got Suarez. In your case, maybe c is better.

          I was giving thought to (a) myself (I have the same front 3). On the other hand, after the Balotelli horror show today and the fact Tevez changed the game, I have to think Tevez is nailed on through the holiday. Berbatov has a decent schedule and I believe a player of his quality will come good. I might think about another area of your team that could use the cash to address.
