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…

d) none of the above.
After his performance today and Balotelli's strop Tevez will start next game And Suarez isn't worth 3million more than Berbatov with Berba's fixtures over Christmas.Open Controls -
The problem with my plan to do Tevez > Rooney is..
With Tevez, we rely on his name to be on the starting list
With Rooney, we rely on Hernandez name NOT to be on the starting list
I think I will keep Tevez for now, although if he is benched again next week, I might be very tempted to do this transfer later.Open Controls -
Any idea of what to do with this team ? 4.1 in the bank
Bego (Gazzinga)
Baines-Enrique-ShawX (Cuellar,Demel)
Santi-Fellani-Michu-Sterling (Sess)
Berbs-Suarez-Ba
Thinking of doing sess to bale if bale is fit, any other suggestions are appreciated 🙂Open Controls-
Doesn't look like Bale will be fit for next week... maybe Sess> Silva for a week and then get Bale in

Got Rvp and Suarez.. pick one until Jan WC

Defoe for me. But will need to see how Berb do against Newcastle.

Really? I just don't think he's ever going to go on a decent scoring streak.. he just looks lost every time he gets the ball
Open Controls-
well, i will monitor him in japan. mata is obviously a better choice at the mo, but if he hits some form he could be that perfect differential.

I'm gonna hold onto Ba for the next 2GWs and hope for the best
Open Controls-
I cannot believe people here who are getting carried away on torres. Just a week ago, he was called donkey, useless, flop etc. All of a sudden he's a top striker again cos he scored a brace vs very shitty sunderland. Well done all
Open Controls-
I had him earlier in the season... but i'll be giving him a very wide berth until he proves he can do it 2-3 weeks in a row...

Ba RVP SuarezOpen Controls -
Team at the moment for GW17 (BANK = £2.0m, 1 free transfer):
Foster
Rafael Nelsen Demel
Michu Silva Fellaini Sterling
Ba Van Persie Suarez
subs - Begovic, Sessegnon, Cuellar, Santon
Which option do you prefer?
a) Cuellar > G.Johnson
b) Sessegnon > Dempsey
c) Cuellar & Sessegnon > G.Johnson & Arteta/Lennon/PuncheonOpen Controls-
A, no need for a bench headache among the front 8!
Open Controls-
Arteta...wow... 😀
Open Controls-
£8.1m for a midfielder if i go with C. I'd likely get Puncheon and just bench him. I'm much more comfortable with 2 cheap midfielders although SOT/LIV don't rotate well at all
Open Controls-
Yep, thats my thought at the moment too.
Thinking Fletcher & Pienaar > Defoe/Ade & PuncheonOpen Controls-
That 3rd striker spot alongside Suarez/RVP is quite a critical choice right now. I have Ba at the moment and seeing as how he has a couple of home games (although one against City!) i'll probably keep him for now. Fletcher would be straight out though if i had him.
The Spurs forward situation is a bit murky right now for me. Defoe has been on fire but Ade will surely see more gametime. I'll probably get Dempsey/Bale for Spurs cover, just not sure whenOpen Controls

It would be a problem but i'd probably just bench Sterling as i have Suarez
Open Controls-
Yeah not too bad but I fancy Johnson over the next weeks. Wish I stuck with my gut and got him over Jose last week...
Open Controls-
Me too, I was fairly sure he'd outscore Enrique. There is just no contest when you compare their footballing ability. Enrique may be getting into great positions but he simply doesn't have the tools to capitalise

I might go (a) of those options. Liverpool with a good schedule until mid-January. Dempsey's a bit of a risk when Bale returns if AVB decides to keep Adebayor/Defoe.
I would think about downgrading Foster this week, then get Mata for Sessegnon next GW.Open Controls-
Yep a) is my preferred option right now too.
I won't be wasting a transfer on my goalies anytime soon. If Foster isn't back then Begovic is a more than able deputy, at least until the Jan WCOpen Controls-
Just a thought on how to free some cash so you coiuld get a player of Mata's quality in for Sessegnon. What about dropping out Sterling since you have Suarez.

I'm not sure if Arteta is anything more than a 8mil Mark Noble these days. Seems to do the screening for Wilshere and Cazorla.
A, B, or C are improvements imo, i'd say reassess after Tuesday's game as if Sessegnon hits form against Reading you may want him for Southampton in gw18Open Controls-
I was just scanning the players around £8m but you are right, Arteta isn't a genuine prospect

Anyone considering Clichy? City have decent fixtures and he seems to play 90mins when fit

Gj is better shout in my view, liverpool has better fixtures and gj is more of a goal threat

Nastasic
Open Controls -
I considered Nastasic a couple of weeks ago.. but then he got immediately benched for Lescott... just not that confident in any of them to keep their place week in week out (a fit Kompany aside)...
Open Controls-
He wasn't benched. He failed a fitness test.
Open Controls-
But even still Lescott is pretty decent competition, i don't fancy Nastasic myself, surely Clichy is more nailed on?
Open Controls-
Even Kolo Toure is ahead of Lescott in the pecking order it seems, but then again this is Mancini we're talking about. Who knows who Mancini considers more first choice out of the 2?

It looks decent enough... but Newcastle have some pretty shitty fixtures and no RVP = squeeky bum time...
Defoe looks ripe for more rotation... and Torres is still a big fat no for me...Open Controls

Southhampton is become more and more like Norwich now. You know there are potential for their enemies to wreak havoc in there, but at the end of the day, left frustrated by their CS instead.
