In our second members article of the week, we turn to our own ICT Index for inspiration. Assessing player performance for Influence, Creativity and Threat in accordance with the relevant Opta statistics, we create a Members table in order to analyse the top-scoring midfielders over the last four Gameweeks:

      I was walking up Kentish Town Road this evening with my cycle helmet on, having a short while earlier dismounted my Boris bike, when a van driver yelled out, 'where's your bike?'. I yelled back, 'I wear this when I'm riding your wife'.

    Evening all, couple of questions for you.

    1. Do you think Sterling will start this GW?

    2. Given that I've planned 2 transfers for next GW, is anyone at 5.6 or below worth a -4 to get him out? (hit will actually be taken next week but it's 4 points nonetheless)
    Cheers

      The ICT Index covers Influence - their contribution to a match, Creativity - their propensity to create chances or provide passes in attacking areas and Threat - their propensity to have efforts on goal, on target and in dangerous areas.

      We use a formula to calculate all three based on some key stats and then add the total to come to the ICT rating. Influence is based on things like goals, assists, touches, passes completed, tackles etc - all with different weightings. It's the nearest thing to our version of the bonus points I guess.

      Creativity uses key passes of course, but also passes in the final third, through-balls, crosses etc.

      Threat uses shots on goal (no brainer) but we do give different weightings depending on where on the pitch those shots occurred and also whether they were on target.

      Every player has a total for all three from every match and they are added up to give you the ICT rating for that match.

        Sorry for the late reply Mark...family stuff...Right..so...I use the ICT threat, i add it to the touches in the box (not just shots)..and then try to keep the sum figure of that number as high as possible across the mids (DGW's not withstanding)....It works. So based on how you weight the ICT threat am I right to do this...I have posted before that it doesn't seem to work out when using shots in the box in that way, and obviously that must be because it's effectively doubling up the ICT threat...All a bit convoluted really, but does that make sense?...ICT threat + touches in the box always seems to = good pick

    silva (9,4) vs man city defender (6ish)

    do u think silva will significanty outscore a man city defender until the end of the season?

    i mean city look very possible to keep clean sheets in all of the 4 home matches plus palace away (5X6=30pts min barring baps + 3x2=6 pts for a total of 36pts+at least 6bps from the clean sheet matches=42, and assuming they concede in the other 3 matches vs southampton at home, liveroopl and everton away)

    silva will get 5x3=15 plus 3X2=6 for a total of 21 pts so until 42 he has to score 21pts in the next 8 matches that is roughly at least an assist in each match or a goal in every other match. do u thnk this is possible?

    also is the price tag (at least 3million more than any defender) justified in getting silva instead of a man city defender (kompany, de michelis, zabaleta) ?

    thanks

      Your numbers equates to 7 PPG for those 5 games for the City defenders, which is significantly higher than what they are at this far. If you think those numbers are reasonable then I certainly think you should go for a defender instead of Silva.
