Chelsea and Villa’s assets feature prominently in the top 10 of our ICT Index after Gameweek 1, with the two teams supplying five players between them after opening the season with a pair of fixtures apiece. While many of the usual suspects have made an instant impact, we turn our attentions to the newly-promoted sides and attempt to look for the positives after all three tasted defeat in their opening fixture of the 2013/14 campaign.
Daniel Sturridge the GOD actually being utilized is key

Guys, I've been tackling this for the past hour... help!
Dzeko or Aguero? It looks like a no brainer but members area shows that Dzeko was so much more threatening than Aguero. He also played longer than Aguero did.... ahhhhhhhhh who to pick and why!Open ControlsFrom now to game week 5 or 6 then I will re assess.
Open ControlsProbably Kun then imo, should be more nailed on than Dzeko...
Depends on how u choose to spend the extra 3,5m tho (if u go for Dzeko).Open ControlsCheers for the reply.
Extra 3.5 would either sit in the bank or be used to upgrade Jedinak (4.5) to someone else... (I only have 8.8 to play with if I do that).
So it's not like I can get a premium player (Michu etc)Open ControlsDont bank 3,5... too much
And if u cant get a 9m mid, then I would just go for Kun tbh.
Much safer, and I guess u would be more confident putting C on Kun than Dzeko?Open Controls
Dzeko is never likely to be a long-term prospect, even if he scores, making Aguero the 'safer' pick. Question is, does it matter? Dzeko has scored 130+ in half the gametime afforded to Berbatov or Lambert. Man City will create more chances - 30 mins of Dzeko could be worth 90 of another player.
In short, I think Dzeko will score less than Aguero but, at 7.5, offers better value even without guaranteed starts.Open Controls*long term 'starting' prospect.
Open Controls
I think Aguero. Long term he is surely more nailed on, and Aguero when not injured and on form is a proven FPL asset. This is all fund pending of course.
Open ControlsLambert because he's less of a risk

I disagree with the Connolly having a decent outting, if i read stats correctly 75% of West ham's chances were created down his flank, he didn't find too much influence.
Whitters was our furthest forward mid and was good, so for the most part you're looking alright but, Connolly could be in trouble.Open ControlsDitched Ivanovic by 4p hit and kept Kompanyyesterday 😡
Open ControlsHello everyone .. a decent GW1 for me with 90 points .. my team is:
SZ – mannone
Cole – toure – burner – murner – collins
Hazard – mirallas – nolan – sissoko – morrison (whu)
RVP – benteke – lukaku
The plan is to get rid of: Luka+Benteke before GW3 ..
for GW2 am doing: Lukaku -> lambert/RVW/Dzeko/Aspas .. next step would be: Bentke -> Sturridge/Giroud .. I’ll most probably be picking sturridge by then, which will eliminate aspas .. The decision for now is to pick lambert or RVW (Dzeko too much rotation I reckon) .. Who do you guys prefer?Open ControlsOver what period is that, last season? All time?
Open ControlsAfternoon chaps,
Lukaku -> ???
Dzeko or Lambert?
Have Benteke and Soldado, Zab only City cover and Shaw/Migs S'ton
Thoughts greatly appreciated.Open Controlsdzeko,

Sky game captaincy: I changed from rvp > hazard last sat night can't seem to change it from hazard now - is that normal?
Open Controlsyea. You have to keep it at him i think!
Open Controlsnot certain though
Open Controls
Sat-Fri is their GW. You can change captain once each GW but it doesn't have to be at the start before the first game. So Pick a captain on Sun/Mon that plays the following Sat. Rinse and repeat.
The podcast confirmed that you can transfer your captain out to end up with an extra captain too.Open Controls
Many doing a -4? really want to as most of my players are away this week...
Open ControlsIvanovic and Lukaku --> Shaw and Soldado.
Open Controls
whose thinking has changed because of kompany....
city's back line looks troubled now! new cb on the way surely.Open ControlsPlay Kim or spend another 4 points to do Anelka > Lambert/Dzeko/anyone under 8.0 ?

Soldado - Giroud
Captain choice - Soldado, Giroud or Silva?Open Controlsnot a huge fan of the back line....esp. mert / mig. midfeld solid, not many others going 352, could be a good earner.
Open ControlsGiroud (C)
Open ControlsThanks for your input Carson, however I think i'll go with Soldado. The beautiful Frenchman can have the armband next week.
Open Controls
great mids, soldado(c) for me
Open ControlsThanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it. Soldado and Giroud both on pens, think i'll sway towards Soldado (C) this GW. Cheers.
Open Controls
For this GW play double LIV defence (Migs, Toure) or hedge my bets and play Chester and Boruc?
Open ControlsSorry for repost but got no replies
I need some info regarding Southampton. How much is Chambers a threat to Clyne?Open Controlsnegligible.

Quuestion: If I was to join someones mini-league now, will the points I got in week 1 carry into that league? Or will I start with a 1 week deficit?
Open ControlsWildcard team.Does it require any changes?
Boruc (Davis)
Toure Zaba Dawson (Chester,Ward)
Coutinho Mirallas Nolan Walcott (Kim)
Aguero Benteke SoldadoOpen ControlsAnyone think Scott Parker might be a bonus point magnet?
Open Controlsdon't think so
Open ControlsNo such thing as a bonus point magnet since they got rid of the man in the stand bps imo. Goals still the name of the game
Open Controlsreally? i heard scoring a goal no longer pretty much guarantees baps and central defenders are more likely to get them
Open ControlsWell were you playing when Adam and Ferguson were at Blackpool and Birmingham? They used to always get them, hence referred to as bonus magnents. Defenders will definitely be more likely with this new BPS but they won't be getting them all the time. Scott Parker will find it harder than defenders to get the points for BPS as he's playing in midfield. He'll need to score/assist regularly to be in with a chance imo. If someone scores a brace, or a goal/assist they'll still be favourites for bps, just like last year's system.
