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.

The second one.
Has no cance whatsoever.Open Controls -
You've got this one in the bag as well JOA.
Superb stuff. How many left at this point in the competition?Open Controls -
Simply incredible that you've gone through 16 rounds. I'll be keeping my eye on this.
Open Controls

I'm sure this has already been discussed, but if McCarthy only gets 1 bonus point for his performance against Liverpool, this is not the bonus point system that I want in the game. Ridiculous. Bring back the man in the stand.

Which defenders are worth it for gw36?
Open Controls-
Vert. City defender.

My biggest mistake of the season BY FAR was buying rafael and evans about 7 weeks ago and keeping them all this time.
The pain is twofold: I was actually proved painfully right about united keeping clean sheets (they have kept one nearly every game since I doubled up, but i got a tiny fraction of this)
The DGW encouraged me to keep them partly because I had no idea WHICH ONE would play both games... Oh wait, it turns out neither of them even played the first game
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
[/vent]Open Controls-
PS if you want to give me any "that was stupid" replies I would like to kindly remind you that I am fully aware of this 😀
Open Controls -
you should have tripled up on City defenders instead
🙂Open Controls-
😀
Open Controls -
i wouldve probably got kompany, kolo toure and lescott knowing my style 😀
Open Controls -
i actually admire that move though, looking at your team. It could pay off big
Open Controls-
haha thanks, it helped me climb almost 900k in ranks, too little too late with my terrible start though
Open Controls
-
-
-
That is just bad luck.
Open Controls
-
-
Boy. This is a really dead zone. Alright, looking at this season, 3 people that are going to feature in your team next season most definitely? Someone you haven't played much this season.
Vertonghen
Mirallas (if reclassified)
Hazard
come to my mind.Open Controls-
Benteke. I think he'll end up at Spurs.
Open Controls -
Rodriguez
Open Controls -
If Coates ever plays he will be a good FPL prospect, Lowton and Riether are on my radar as well.
Open Controls-
Coates is terrible.
Open Controls-
8 goals in 55 games for Nacional.
Open Controls-
Yeah, then there's this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rlEg_GOyiA
I mean he's a terrible defender, so won't ever play. We'll be getting a couple of new CBs this summer, hopefully.Open Controls-
I was just about to post this... 🙂
To be fair, I can't comment on how good he is as a defender, I just thought that he looked a decent goal threat if he played.Open Controls
-
-
-
-
Marveaux if he gets more starts, he really does have good FPL potential.
Open Controls
-
-
i think it depends on how much they're priced (i'm a bit obsessed with value and fixtures) but:
rodriguez (he's been much better than lambert stats and positionwise since he got a run - i know as I watch every saints game)
lallana (he has underperformed and will be cheap as a result - see the theme here?)
Ronaldo when he signs for united from real madrid 😀Open Controls
-
-
Where's Unreal? Haven't even seen a post from him this page yet!
Is it because Forca Inter has ALREADY overtaken him and he's outside the top 1,000 ?Open Controls -
So the week I finally get a decent score from my defence, the whole fecking attack goes AWOL...
*sigh*Open Controls-
Atleast someone performed. Your squad is in decent shape.
Open Controls
-
-
Cazorla to Michu?
Open Controls-
What does the rest of your midfield look like?
Open Controls -
yes that is the best move of the week IMO. Or at least michu in (and captained)
Even as a southampton fan aware we've been playing well... I expect swansea to score a few - I expect a high scoring game all round. 3-3 maybe.Open Controls
-
-
Can.
This.
Season.
Please.
End.Open Controls-
Come back in 6 gws.
Open Controls-
We made the right decision, then Christina goes on and captains the wrong player! 👿
Open Controls-
I expected Christina to take the armband off Santi. Mentioned it even.
Open Controls-
Still midway though. This could all change.
Open Controls -
Next time phone me.
I was tempted to do it Sat morning after "evs"dropping on some chatter between yourself and our Welsh friend.
Didn't have the balls though.
Story of my life.Open Controls-
You need to follow your own gut a little more. Happened to you many times this season right?
Open Controls-
I had a "feeling" Santi/Arsenal might disappoint this week. I was correct on my "no Sagna" policy. So far.
Its not as if i had any good feeling about Rvp scoring a peno though. Stoke is always tough and if the Garrick goal didn't go in, who knows. One can never predict a peno, so well done to all the Rvp(c).
I must admit I'm listening to my gut a lot more this year then I used to. Live and learn I suppose.
At the end of the day no one, not even no 1 in the world can deny the fact that lady luck has a very very big say in this game we love to hate.Open Controls
-
-
-
-
I didn't watch the game, but it seems the peno saved Rvp.
The egg dripping down my face could have been on yours and Lara'12's. But hey, all good in love and war.
I'm tired. It's been a long season.
Might take a break next season.Open Controls-
Shut up. No breaks, just top 5k finishes 😉

post by FORCAOpen Controls-
No thats me. Forca still thinks he's a donkey.
I mean, he averages 15.4 ppg.Open Controls -
🙂
Open Controls -
Giroud is a donkey and he sucks
Open Controls
-
-
Ugh, feels really bad not having De Gea. Punished me really bad but never felt like wasting a transfer to buy a keeper.
How's everyone's week? Anyone with captain RVP here? 😀Open Controls-
Quite a few i'd imagine.
Open Controls -
I actually spent 8 to get him this week and I've already gained 7 of those back.
Open Controls-
He was one of my 5! transfers this week. Sold Migs for him 😐
Open Controls -
Good call on captaining RVP and Giroud! 😯 Not a fan of taking hits, and only took 5 hits so far this season. Out of the 5, 4 gave me red arrows and hopefully the hit for GW33 will be a green arrow. 🙂
I have been avoiding taking hits this season and it worked really well, from 413k on GW6 to 2k.Open Controls

-
I have RVP captain, No faith in Arsenal players at all. Now I'm sittin in the top 3200 with 4 dgw still to play their second match and Mata to play fulham. I think I'm doin alright
Open Controls-
Wow, that's a great score! Carrick, 😯 I bet many had go against your idea 😀
Open Controls

1) Who to bench?
Coutinho Silva Michu Santi Fellaini
RVP Berbatov Giroud
I am thinking Coutinho maybe?
2) Who to bench
Sagna
Turner
Baines
Evra
Sagna is my thinking.Open Controls-
I concur.
Open Controls -
Bench Coutinho and Sagna.
Open Controls -
I would consider benching Fellaini over Coutinho.
But yes, bench Sagna.Open Controls -
Couts + Sagna.
Open Controls -
Thanks all. Much appreciated.
Open Controls -
dude look at coutinhio's form.... I think it would be madness to bench him
Open Controls-
Who would you bench instead?
Open Controls
-
-
Yeah Coutinho & Sagna
Open Controls
-
-
I know people all have a laugh about it but is anyone slightly worried that Unreal seems to be awake 24 hours a day? lol -_-
Open Controls-
When did he start his around the clock posting? He didn't use to right?
Open Controls-
Not long after he found the site I think...
Open Controls
-
-
It is a bit worrying.
Open Controls -
I've said it before but... I reckon he is several people using the same account.
Open Controls
-
-
RVP 2 bonus. 😯
Open Controls-
That was for nearly killing SAF 😉
Open Controls

Benching headache with my defenders this week;
Baines (sun) Turner (RDG) Johnson (CHE) Clichy (tot) Davies (SOU)Open Controls-
Never bench, never captain.
Leaves 4.
Clichy & DaviesOpen Controls-
Turner's home form - 7, 8, 2, 8, 4, 6
Open Controls-
After this week it will be - 2, 7, 8, 2, 8, 4, 6
Open Controls-
Haha, but he's playing Reading!!!
Open Controls-
Yeah you're right in all fairness. Thinking about it I might say put Johnson on the bench instead, but it's hard to drop players like that. Plus he will score if you bench him. Guaranteed.
Open Controls-
Maybe I should get Gorkss in for Davies and bench Johnson if that's the case.
Open Controls
-
-
-
-
-
-
Baines, Turner, Johnson.
Open Controls -
Baines Turner Clichy for me.
Open Controls -
I would play the first three.
Open Controls -
Baines and Turner. The 3rd depends on Bale and Lennon's fitness.
Open Controls-
Actually, this.
Open Controls
-
-
Pretty straight forward then 😐
Open Controls

Big, big game tonight in terms of my overall season. 4 players playing + captain. 😀
Open Controls-
lol
Open Controls -

Even if you were in Australia it's not Tuesday yet 😉
I've got 6 playing, well 5 probably with Monreal fail.Open Controls

Anyone seen Higuain's finish last night? Incredible.
Yes, I know CR7 scored an amazing FK but he does that every week...Open Controls -
Pick 2 to start:
Davies(SOU), Martin(REA), GJ(CHE)
I will be playing Bunn in goal.Open Controls -
fecking Evans cost me so manny pts
can't wait to get rid of him and get Vertoghen inOpen Controls-
-
Donkey-and he rewarded me with some random pts
Open Controls-
He always does. 😉
Open Controls-
yes i know, he is terrible player but he is a brilliant fpl pick i'd say
arsenal striker is all you need,his price is so low as wellOpen Controls-
Now you get it. He averages 15+ for me 😯
Open Controls
-
-
Not when I own/(c) him 😡
Open Controls-
Learn your lesson. Get him, only when i do.

did anyone other than me noticed how RVP is incredibly poor player?
fact that he can't score from open game says it all
shame that he didnt get sent off yesterdayOpen Controls-
I am more concerned about Rooney.
Open Controls -
*grabs popcorn and leans back on couch*
Open Controls-
Pass some.
Open Controls -
-
Its a shame everyone knows him well enough. We're just busy enjoying the popcorn.
Open Controls
-
-
-
Sent off for what exactly??
Open Controls
-
-
Sorry if asked previously, but why did Rooney not get an assist, I thought he passed it to RVP, who was fouled? is that not how it works???
Open Controls-
The assister is the one that drew the foiul. And you can't assist your own pen/goal.
Open Controls
-
-
That's it for me then.
Had enough.
Enjoy the end of the season.Open Controls -
A little early for Forca to have been drinking isn't it? 😉
Open Controls-
i compleatly stop drinking
in fact , i haven't drink alcohol over 5 months nowOpen Controls-
Crystal meth then perhaps?
Open Controls-
nah , i am not fan of drugs

Pity it was to late.
The effects are still visibly.

Suarez C against chelsa
such a easy choice
hattrick comming up
RVP should clean his golden boots after season endsOpen Controls-
Suarez is poor. Can't even score against Reading.
Open Controls -
Then you should captain him, if that is what you truly believe, 🙂
Open Controls-
Knowing Forca, he actually might....And then God Forbid, if Suarez does end up scoring a brace.
Open Controls-
i will C him for sure
-he always do well in big games
-liverpool has always score +2 goals against chelsa in last few matches
-his stats are just amazing and it's about time to explode
-he is a world class player who fight for golden bootOpen Controls-
I would love it if you captained him, fair play if you did, thats a big decision.
But then again for people who don't have RVP there isn't many obvious alternatives.
I might go Michu.Open Controls
-
-
-
-
Have you noticed that Suarez has blanked against 2 poor oppositions?
Open Controls-
for exacly that reason he will be my C
he need to upgrade his goal tally and game against chelsa is perfect for thatOpen Controls

you have to feel sorry for sheboy christina
he/she trying so hard to be good in fpl but he is no match for true legends
at least i gave him/her a credit cause he probably enjoy in life and fpl is not everything what hes/she got
like some creatin mr.unreal who spealing with laptop and thinking about fpl 24/7Open Controls -
12 saves and a PPI of 17. 😯
EA PPI developers are really taking the piss with GK's.Open Controls-
Every goal kick counts as a shot off target 🙁
Open Controls

I feel like this will be the week GJ finally delivers on his attacking potential.
Open Controls-
I actually have been thinking that as well...
Open Controls -
I kept thinking that too.
I though a little more, and sold him. :pOpen Controls -
he should be sent to the bench 1st of all
has been horrible for the past 3-4 matches.Open Controls-
He hasn't been at his best for a while, yeah. Should've had an assist this week though. Fecking McCarthy 😡
