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.

    Anyone know why the big swing from Adebayor to Bale on AB baps predos? Were shot wrongly allotted or something?

    Justice was done......

        Originally a block was given , it was later changed to a shot on target. Due to how close it all was, that one (very weak) shot on target was enough to take Bale from zero to three bonus points

    Only one pressing issue for me this GW (if I decide to get rid of Ba):

    Tevez vs Fulham or DGW Poldi? I really want City coverage for the 2nd half of the season.

      I'd go Podolski DGW.

      Then it depends on what Mancini decides to do once Aguero is back. Will Dzeko be getting more starts? If so, he's pretty damn cheap. Silva is also a good nailed on MF City option, although he has been a bit unlucky with points so far.

    Here's my team, and I'm on my WC. What would you do?

    Vorm
    Baines - Luiz - Zab - Demel - Bertrand
    Mata - Caz - Fellaini - Michu - Puncheon
    Lukaku - RVP - Dzeko

    1) Bench Demel, despite DGW
    2) Bench Luiz to play Demel
    3) Trade Luiz for Gibbs, and then use my FT next week to do Gibbs->Luiz
    4) Bench Michu
    5) A brilliant transfer that I haven't thought of

    What to do?!

      http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/jan/12/manchester-city-mario-balotelli

      According to that article City are trying to sell Balotelli but keeping it low key. If that's the case then it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get some playing time in the next couple of games just to give potential buyers a chance to see his form and fitness. I suppose that would come at Tevez's expense if Aguero is passed fit to play. City should slaughter Fulham and a couple of goals for Balotelli would put him back in the media for the right reasons. Also, as Acqua says, Mancini seems to hate Tevez and would clearly rather not play him if he doesn't have to.

            I would just leave it and roll a trade. Have you played Jan WC? If not, just remember you lose your FT if say you have 2 FT's in gw 24 and you decide to WC in gw 24.

            In other words you won't have 2 FT in gw 25.

      Nothing atm. Nobody is appealing to me due to rotation -- except Zaba, but i prefer to go cheap at the back.

      To be honest, depending on Mata PT vs SOU, I might just save my FT, and go with Walcott(C), Gibbs and Demel. With Mata's current form he could outscore DGW Santi imo.

      Not Acqua but Zabaleta is very appealing. Original plan was Luiz > Zaba this week for City's impending destruction of feeble Fulham but might keep Sideshow Bob as Arse will be knackered after playing 80 mins with ten men yesterday and a potential 120 mins plus pens against Swansea on Wednesday in the Cup.

    Suarez - yet to see how Sturridge affects his output

    Ba - now a rotation risk

    Aguero - not on last season's form (and therefore maybe not worth 11 million)

    Dawson has started 4 of the last 5 premier league games, in which time he's got a goal and two cleanies. Is he becoming the sort of fantasy prospect you can rely on and actually consider picking up on WC?

    Think AVB has finally realised that Gallas is a disaster and dropped him for good

      Gallas is injured but I think Dawson might be nailed on for the time being. AVB has mysterious ways though. I was impressed by Dawson.

        Oh, I forgot that Arsenal have a game midweek. No transfers before that then. Thanks for the reminder.

      A lot of us have the same dillemma.

      I'll just chill out until end of week to decide. By then, we will have most of the information like
      a) Ba's performance vs sot
      b) Pod's performance vs swa
      c) Club press conferences
      d) Scoring odds by the bookies
