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.

    Ok to make myself feel better about not WCing last week and doing awfully this week as a result, I shall consider the positives in leaving the WC late.

    Positives of a GW25 WC

    - We will see new the new squads after the transfer window and will have some idea on who will or will not be nailed on for the second half of the season

    - There will be more time for viable differentials to reveal themselves. These would be players who could be at the start of a good run of form for the second half of the season. (ie like Cisse, Barfa, Tevez etc from last season)

    - There will be no need to plan specific transfers for the first few weeks after the WC because of DGW's (ie Those who WCed last week planned on getting an Arsenal player this week etc)

    - Most would have used their WC so you could catch them on the hop with the newest and latest 'template team'

      Leme add one more.

      - I'd have gotten my a** whooped against Lateriser12 in H2H anyway, so the wildcard is left for a better time.

      As a WC holder, 24 over 25 is more appealing.

      - I'll know the team I want barring 1 or 2 players who I may want depending on their GW24 performance. They can be transferred in if wanted.
      - The 10 day WC span verses 3 days could ruin the desired team based on prices if played for GW25 instead of GW24.

      Only the really cool kids do week 25. I need time to see how the likes of Ba and Studge fare at their new clubs. Early days yet to determine whether they are worthy of a place in my team.

      I think point number 2 is thrown around far too much around here. Last season barely anyone got the new arrivals in their WC, and for good reason. Looking at the 3 you mentioned for example;

      Ben Arfa - In February he played 45, 0, 0, 36, 45 minutes and didn't actually start until March 12th.
      Tevez - His first start since GW3 against Wigan was on April 11th.
      Cisse - First start was against Tottenham on the 11th of February where he played 67 minutes. He went on to play 64 , 71, and 0 minutes before starting and scoring against Norwich on the 18th of March.

        Plus there aren't really any impending signings that look like lighting up FPL in the near future.

        you will just end up buying the same players we already have , at a more expensive price

        Perhaps but I'm not necessarily referring to 'new players'. Sess for example picked his form up and no doubt this season will see the same thing happen. The likes of Sturridge, Sess, Aguero etc could have a lightning second half of the season.

            A swing in form from both parties will be enough. There's been a few blanks from many of the power 5 in recent weeks. I wonder what would happen if they continue to get blanks in the next 2/3 GW's

    Despite wanting to ease him in,i don't see how Rodgers can leave Sturridge out.

    Not getting carried away after 45 mins like was mentioned but apart from Suarez are next highest goalscorer has 4 in the league.He'll start at the weekend.

    My only problem is do i take Ba out for Aguero like i planned or bring Sturridge in.

      Mignolet + Bunn/Fed, what's 0.2/0.4m to anyone?

      But I agree, Mignolet is the best value keeper in the game now and the only secure access to Sunderland's defence currently unless you go O'Shea but he's been injury prone all year.

      I might have to sell Bego over Mignolet in my w/c 😯

        He will never be a must have on here. It's power 5 or nothing with most sheep.

        But I also respectfully agree. He could well be a major asset. I've also been hugely impressed with AJ
