The Big Numbers – Gameweek 27

With tomorrow night’s Upton Park clash to come, our ICT Index rankings are currently dominated by two Spanish playmakers as both Santi Cazorla and David Silva lead the way off the back of their match-winning contributions. With two-goal strikers Romelu Lukaku and Arouna Kone also pressing for recognition, our rankings reflect a Gameweek where the differential came good, leaving established Fantasy favourites falling short.

Our members can examine the numbers behind the Gameweek in full via the members area tables and match dashboards and, as always, we’ve picked out a selection of stats that have caught our eye…

So if the worst occurs ill have santi, giroud, azcpil, mata, rvp, demel and zabeleta out for gw29.

Plan . . . . Do sweet f all. The doubles after will rebalance everything. Trying to field xi would destroy the team. Using a wc would do same.

Just a warning to the rest of ye guys

  ideally, you should get rid of Azp, Demel and Giroud/Santi, as Azp&Demel are rotation risk, and Giroud+Santi is a bit too much IMO

Hello from Brooklyn!

Please help me choose A or B with my 1 FT

A. RVP to Lambert (plus $$$)

B. Pog to LaFondre

I still have my WC as well, but this may not be the best week to use it...

other F is Sturridge, plus I have Power 5...

Confession: I only pulled the trigger on Lukaku because of Bemba's scaremongering about Puncheon being benched.

      It was due to tactics but even before I saw the talk about him being benched I also had a feeling he would be benched anyway.
      
      Since new mgr taken over he has been getting less minutes - starting less and also being subbed early.

Instead of removing RVP, how do these transfers look for a hit, enabling me to BENCH RVP next 2.

Schneiderlin+Podolski > Sissoko+Sturridge (-4)

Attack:

Bale, Mata, Walcott, Michu, Sissoko
Lambert, Sturridge (RVP)

RVP sell price is 13.7 right now. With the way his NTO have picked up and my plan to bench him next week anyways is there value in cutting him this week and then bringing him back for the DGW? I'd prob be able to by him back at a cheaper price in a few weeks.
