Another classy display from Santi Cazorla sees the Spaniard lead the way in this week’s ICT Index figures, holding off the charge from West Ham’s Andy Carroll and Sunday’s efforts from Luis Suarez. As always, our members are free to investigate all the Opta data from around this weekend’s matches in our members area. However, we’ve put in some leg work on their behalf, picking out the numbers that piqued our interest, whilst pointing out some statistical trends over the last four and six Gameweeks.

Is Cesar going to start tomorrow?Open Controls -
BOO!

Sounds like Coleman could be very handy next season if he's classed as a defender.
Open Controls-
He was listed as a defender in past seasons and had been quite handy then. Im sure it will be a brilliant prospect again.

Coutinho FTW! He'll be the end of season Michu.

Repost from earlier I just want to get more votes! 😀
Who will win the NZ playoffs?
Ryan) 17pts
Bonz) 14pts + Remy
Lawro) Berbatov(c)
Yes this has been simplified 🙄Open Controls-
Bonz
Open Controls -
Bonz has a good chance. But I am hoping that you win it, Berba (c) all the way!
Open Controls -
Good luck Lawro!
Open Controls -
Bit harsh not to mention Eboue on 16pts.

Evo Lawro have you discounted Eboue?

Has Cazorla been the signing of the summer?
I know Michu got more goals, but he has been playing as a striker...
I think Cazorla is a better signing.Open Controls-
Benteke. Villa would already have been relegated without him
Open Controls -
dembele or vertonghen should be in the mix
I agree cazorla is a fantastic signingOpen Controls -
Obviously biased but both Vertonghen and Lloris are up there for me.
Open Controls -
No as he is responsible for unleashing a poster more deflating than you in your pomp on FFS
Open Controls -
Both very shrewd. Cazorla is the better player by quite a distance to my eye. Cazorla is a £20M+ player I think, acquired on the cheap. Michu is a £10Mish man (hark at me and my valuations!) - so again - both incredibly good buys... Clear to me who the better player is though.
Open Controls-
Not saying he's not good - he is - but he's also a little bit flat-track bully too. Although I guess you could say that about Arsenal in general this season.
Open Controls-
You certainly can! ...I think that would be truly remarkable though... a player to come in and first season win big games for his team. Not many have done that. Mata took time to settle into the league, Silva too... Be interesting to see how he kicks on next season I think (and Giroud too - who I think could become a bit of a player).
Open Controls-
Yeah I do think Giroud could be excellent. Not going to be in the RVP/Henry lineage of former strikers but could be as good as Ade was at his peak.
Open Controls-
what a first post to see on log on. god... Giroud is awful! absolutely hideous clumsy lump of a striker.
agree with all else. Cazorla, all classOpen Controls-
-
😆 i've watched him from season start thinking he was a nice price for arsenal only striker... still haven't owned him for a single gameweek. he's a less strong, less skillful point man striker... back to goal strikers need to have a lot more about them. stand by my point. guy's a mess 🙂
Open Controls

Yeah, he maybe hasn't got enough years left to get to that level (late starter). But funnily there are lots of similarities with RVP. Technique wise, how he plays back to goal, instinctive ball-striking, selfishness. But he doesn't have anyway near the focus of RVP. Hoping that's something that comes as he gets older.

I'm a big Cazorla fan - the guy is sheer class
Open Controls -
Every time I watch Michu I think "What a f****** donkey". Yes, he gets the fantasy points but he just looks like a total tool.
Cazorla on the other hand has class oozing out every available orifice in his body.
Yes Ron, Santi is the better signing. He's one of the best midfield players on the planet whilst Michu is an inconsistent, profligate shooting star (but thanks for all the points anyway mate!).Open Controls -
Benteke for me.
As Andy1 says he's the only thing stopping Villa already being relegated.
Then Michu, then Santi.Open Controls-
RVP is the signing of the season. 15pts difference

Alright, I had enough with Evans. Baines is the best defender to bring in at the moment?
Open Controls -
Bench 2 please
a) Azpilcueta (h) to Sunderland
b) Zabaleta @ United
c) Sagna @ WBA
d) Dawson (h) to Everton
e) Clyne @ ReadingOpen Controls -
How can Arteta get 3 baps and gervinho one????
Open Controls-
Gervinho is very wasteful, lots of shots off target to reduce the ppi gained from a goal and 2 assists.
Open Controls-
+1
Also Arteta deserves something for being stuck at DM all seasonOpen Controls-
I agree Arteta is quality in there, but it doesn't translate to FPL points. Not many people are going to have DM's in their squad
Open Controls
-
-
Doesn't make sense to me. I've got Cazorla and expected him to get 2 behind Gervinho. He got two but behind Arteta. I don't have access to the detailed PPI, but it all seems very odd
Open Controls-
Its based on a whole load of stats, not just goals and assists,
Open Controls-
Yeah I know, but as I said, DM's generally don't rack up points - Arteta must have made a hell of a lot of interceptions
Open Controls -
I've never liked that rule, I'd go the other way...the more shots the more PPI, even if half the shots end up on row Z....Why is a one shot one goal player worth more than somebody who is a constant threat and has to work for his goal...
Open Controls-
Its difficult to judge, if the shots are awful like many of the Forehead's it doesn't really justify positive PPI. There are times when a player has a great individual moment but his shot narrowly misses. They shouldn't lose PPI for that but its an issue with the system as only someone watching the game would be able to pick up on things like that.

Hey guys I'm going to save my free tran in gw32, so i have 2 frees in gw33.
Would u sell Michu or Suarez or Bale (if Chel beat utd) made a bit of dosh on these 3.
I want to get Walcot, Afro & Berbs for the DGW, already have Monreal, Baines Santi, & (Rvp)
I'm thinking sell R Kanu & Suarez for Afro & Berbs, then i might take a 4pt hit if Bego has a blank might get Schwarzer.Open Controls -

It premieres tonight mate so not sure how good it's gonna be but heard it could be a good watch.
Open Controls-
Sweet, i will keep an eye out for sure. Gus was a great character, one of the best on-screen villains for sure
Open Controls-
He was my favourite for sure. No one can be that dark and menacing and be likeable at the same time. His acting was flawless.

de Gea, Walcott, Davies, Clichy.
1FT; Nothing in the bank, wildcarding next week.Open Controls-
He's only on 20% for a rise atm, relax, get ready for tomorrow and worry about it later. There's CL and Europa games yet as well, something could happen to Mata or Bale that could make the call for you.
He's nowhere near a rise, worry about it on Friday unless he gets a massive influxOpen Controls

Sunderland AFC have confirmed the appointment of Paolo Di Canio as Head Coach on a two and a half year deal.
Open Controls-
Well, this should be fun.
Think he'll keep them up and then punch Cattermole and storm out next season.Open Controls -
Makes sense, he has much the same attributes as Martin Allen who has saved us, barnet, on many occasions. Loud and authoritative, those players will do what they are told and believe in themselves.

Does anyone have any idea why the extra City game hasn't been given a date yet?
Can anyone remember where the notion that it would go in gameweek 36 first came from?Open Controls-
No idea, but my theory is that they are waiting for the outcome of the replay and will schedule both at the same time
The theory comes from the fact that's the the GW the Wigan match has gone into, they often try to get all these matches done in one go at this stage of the season.Open Controls -
OK thanks guys. Sounds like it may still go in there then.
Open Controls-
I'd play your wildcard in GW33 if I were you. Outstanding rank by the way and I'm doubly pleased for you as I was born in Yeovil!

Top 10. U r crazy. What is your next move. WC in GW 32? I think that is the right call
Open Controls-
See how things go tomorrow. There are many thing which could shift it. Will probably push the button tomorrow if Chelsea win it, because I quite fancy having some of their players against Sunderland this week.
Open Controls-
The issue I have is that many of the DGW teams don't have great fixtures in GW32
Open Controls-
So you think GW 33 is the better one? Could be, means you will have more info on potential injuries, cards, etc. But next week is gonna be high scoring. Always good when u play WC in a high scoring GW. Dividends paying of right away

GW 32 is gonna be high scoring that is

Yeah him is worrying me. If Utd don't have double I think I will have to do the swap. RVP to Suarez. But RVP has 17shots and 8 on target without scouring. Surely explosion imminent !!!
