The Big Numbers – Gameweek 22

West Brom’s Romelu Lukaku heads up our ICT Index rankings after a weekend of football, with Wigan’s Franco Di Santo an unlikely name to keep Robin Van Persie company in our top three. Our members can investigate these standings in full, digesting all the data from the weekend’s action. Big Numbers makes a return to pick out our take on the key statistics on show, together with an array of trends that have emerged over the past four Gameweeks…

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

    Any suggestion for this squad?

    Vorm (Federici)
    Gibbs, Davies, Demel (A.Cole, Clyne)
    Bale, Mata, Santi, Michu (Puncheon)
    Suarez, Ba, Lambert

    1 FT, 2.9m in the bank

    A. Puncheon > Nolan/J.Cole and bench Lambert/Ba
    B. Ba > Pod
    C. both for a hit and bench Lambert

    Cheers! 😀

        Guess you're right and I should wait. Only have 1 FT after last DGW too. And since it's intended as a short-term thing, I guess it doesn't matter much if I buy and sell at 9.0 or 9.2 (though it would be nice to make that 0.1 on him).

              FFS Set Piece Takers has him after Arteta. I shipped Cazorla out (for 4 points) right before his Reading haul. Right decision, one week too early. And now I hate him.

              I'd say I'm 70/30 in favour of Podolski now.

    Bale got 3 bonus points. Having watched the game, I can only conclude these were a sarcastic gesture.

    0.3m in the bank - best option from the below? WHU's defensive injuries are tempting me into getting an ARS attacker....

    A) Bale -> Santi
    B) Ba -> Podolski
    C) Azpil -> Gibbs
    D) Save the transfer

    Szczesny
    Baines, Azpil, Demel
    Bale, Mata, Walcott, Fellaini
    Rvp, Ba, Lambert

    Bunn, Marveaux, Davies, Harte

    Last week I said this could be the week of "The Berb" however, it was not the week of "The Berb". .. Naughty naughty Berb. Now I will bring in "The Ruiz" as he does just as much as "The Berb" for a cheaper rate 🙂
