With a couple of fixtures still to play out the Gameweek, Gareth Bale once again leads the way in our ICT Index after another swashbuckling display for Tottenham. Michu sits in second spot, while a host of Chelsea players also feature highly after some stand-out performances in the Blues’ 4-1 home win over Wigan:

Our members can, as always, get the full data behind the Index scores via our members area but for now, we’ve compiled our guide to the figures that turned our heads in Gameweek 26…

    Triggerlips, I don't know if you are still around. I am looking to ship out Demel for a Newcastle defender and Santon looks a lot better than Debuchy on the comparison tool. What made you go for Debuchy instead of Santon?

        He crosses the ball more but Santon creates a lot more chances and has shots on goal. His defensive stats are also better. And he is 0.1 cheaper. I think I may go for him, now that he is nailed on and has a season under his belt, he is looking solid.

      Dear all respectful members of this forum,

      Speaking as a fantasy veteran here, knowing the disappointment and pain that failure in double GW could cause, especially if your captain is hurt, I have decided to establish Sturidge Whingers Club [;)] in order to ease the frustration and pain.

      - For the memories of all Bobby Zamora’s investments in double GW when he was just back from injury and gave us all might 1 pt x 2.
      - For the memories of all Zigic owners in double GW, also interrupted by injury. And there was talk about being even a triple GW back than, first and only time in FF history.
      - For the memories of all Arshavin owners in double GW when the second game didn’t happen because of snow.
      - ……. (feel free to add)

      Lets make it a club. Really. The motto of the club “Happiness shared is increased, Disappointment shared eases the pain”.

      Tonight around 19:00 GMT when the lineups will be announced and if/ when Sturridge isn’t in the squad, please post your case here. In example I sold RVP for him, or My rival has Suarez captain or whatever your story is. Or only even shouting is acceptable, let it go, it will be easier and there won’t be whinging posts on FFS and the atmosphere I presume will be better.

      Cheers,
      Daniel (Sturridge captain here)

      Doesn't apply because he was facing a late fitness test (earlier today) so they would have trained without him as a contingency

    Ridgewell to start for WBA tonight?

    My back line has been hopeless so far this week:

    Cameron-Davies-Nasti-(Fabio)-(Ridgewell)

    I should have gone for a L'pool defender!
