Olivier Giroud tops our ICT Index rankings for the Gameweek so far, courtesy of his contribution to Arsenal’s late show at the Emirates. In this week’s “Big Numbers” for members, we break down the Frenchman’s performance, whilst offering hope to those who placed the armband with Santi Cazorla. We also cast an eye on the numbers produced at the Britannia, as Wayne Rooney shifted to a midfield role, paving the way for Robin Van Perise to break his dry spell from the spot.

should I save the FT this week?Open Controls
re assess after midweek games esp if rooney playing centre mid
Open Controlsnah dont get rid of him before villa at home. they dont keep clean sheets
Open Controls
The only consolation from this week is that everyone is having a terrible week (quiet Giroud owners and RVP captainers)
Open Controls
Open Controls
all i've seen you do today is go back and fourth between complaining/whining about this gw and praising sunderland 😉
Open ControlsI love Sunderland and hate this gameweek, at least that's a consolation this week YES!
Open Controls
I didn't do either and I don't think its necessarily a bad week.
Open Controls
At least now we have a clear winner in the RVP v Rooney debate and can move on. 😉
Open Controls
Until Wednesday 😛
Open Controlslol 1 penalty goal in 10 years!!!
look at my rank!!! LOOK AT IT!!! 😈Open ControlsNo one else was arguing so forcefully. You staked your whole reputation on this one debate, and at the minute you're losing 😉
As it happens Rooney had his best game for months today.Open Controls
Small stakes, then 😉
Open ControlsI won the debate because I sold RVP for Suarez and captained him for over 100 points in 3/4 gameweeks I feel. And Rooney(c) vs Reading was nice, it was just a forceful argument because I think you need conviction in this game to go with moves at the right times, ruthlessness mixed with stats...it's just unfortunate but I am still happy I don't have RVP because my team is better for it the last while.
Open Controls
+1 😉
Open Controls
49 with 10 to go, I'm pretty happy.
Open Controls
Without wanting to start another debate, Giroud got a toe end for that goal. I rewound it and paused it in HD. I'm glad, it makes me feel less guilty that it was just a stroke of luck.
Open ControlsThat's amazing, I was adament from the angle I saw that he was no where near it. His shirt pull on Bassong made it though 😉

"If Man Utd beats West Ham and Villa and then get at least a point at Arsenal. RVP will finally become a Champion at the Emirates.
Not just that.
Then in the next game, the European Champions (Chelsea) will have to give Man Utd a Guard of honor. 😀 "Open Controls
If City drop points against Spurs away next week, then Arsenal could be giving RvP and United the guard of honour.
Open Controls
ah a rendition of It's Hard to Beileve it's not Scholes, lovely 😀
Open Controls
who to get back in first? suarez or bale?
Open Controlsjust worried that spurs are bottling it a bit.

Hillsborough Remembered, Please read..
Thank you
JohnOpen ControlsSo it turns out that RVP is a better FPL player than Rooney...
*stirs*Open Controls😆 You gotta love this site at times. The previous ten weeks go out the window when someone's player scores 1 goal 😀
Open ControlsHE SCORED A PENALTY AGAINST STOKE!!
first goal he scored in 10 years! he hugged his manager because he's been so bad! Rooney meanwhile was man of the match! Rooney til I die!!!Open ControlsRVP is not worth the price tag.
Open ControlsDoesn't a player have to score more FPL points to be a better FPL player? Check the last 10 GWs.
Open Controlstechnically you'd have to compare his points against his price to see his value. if a 10m player scores 20 points more over the course of the season than a 5m player, I think i'd rather have the 5m player
Open ControlsVery true, and I am sort of wumming, but you have to take into account captainability.
Open Controls
This is City's semi final train video.
If you go to 4:28 and watch onwards, Micah Richards starts singing the words to the United chant "It's Carrick you knooooow, hard to believe it's not Scholes" what a top Red.Open Controls

@unreal
Very quickly.on here to say congratulations you Mackem git! 😉Open Controls🙂
3-0!!!
Bragging rights forever! 😉Open ControlsJust you wait kid! 😉
They played well today to be fair, impressive goals too. A little narced Cisses was ruled offside but hey ho. 2 of them probably wouldnt have gone in if Jonas hadnt served them on a silver platter! 😉
Anyway, catch you tomorrow no.doubt!Open Controlscheers Pap, glad you can accept we are the better team 😉
I thought you were unlucky not to get that goal but we were also due a peno first half for taylor pulling graham down I thought, overall I thought we deserved it for a spirited performance, so glad we've got a win under our belt, and what timing! 😀
Good luck mate 🙂Open Controls
Who's everyone hoping will be relegated?
Looks to be from Villa, Sunderland, Stoke, Wigan...?Open ControlsFrom a fantasy perspective Stoke have become useless as well, their clean sheets were a decent points earner once upon a time.
Open ControlsDepends on how Wigan perform in their 2 games in hand, and the Cup final is also an issue.
Open ControlsYeah, but who would you like to see go down?
Open Controls
Stoke because I tipped them for the drop at the start of the season and I was given a hard time about it.
Open ControlsTheir one and only method of football has failed them the last 4 months, got a set of players incapable of playing in a different way too.
I'd like to see them go, really didn't appreciate the Munich taunting today either.Open ControlsI didn't even hear about that.
I have admired Stoke for the past few seasons, punching above their weight, but they should really have progressed their football by now. Pulis seems incapable of changing it even with Tuncay and Gudjohnsson on their books.Open Controlshttps://twitter.com/TheUnitedBible/status/323470672368115712/photo/1
I thought perhaps Adam was going to be another attempt at a move forward in terms of football but he's been more of the Liverpool Charlie Adam than the Blackpool one. I think he'll bow out if he can keep them up.Open Controls
Can't say many would miss Stoke's brand of football.
Open Controls
Stoke.
Would make my day.Open Controls
stoke will say goodbye

SAF: "Van Persie nearly killed me with his celebration - he forgets I'm 71! He did ever so well for the penalty, though."
Open ControlsAnyone having a terrible gameweek but feel they are set up nicely next week? Can't wait for it, DIE DGW DIE!
Open Controls
No, I think next week will be just as miserable as this has been.

Actually no... having a reasonable GW and am reasonably set up for next week
