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:

Man U thus knocking arsenal out if the 4th spot. Bitter much?
Open Controls-
It could be Everton rather than Arsenal who finish in 4th spot but are deprived of their Champions League place. And they have suffered before, when they won the First Division in 1984-5 and again in 1986-7 but were denied entry into the European Cup as it was then because of the ban on all English Clubs following the Heysel Stadium disaster.
In 2005 it looked as if either 4th placed Everton or European Champions Liverpool would lose their Champions League place, but UEFA gave special dispensation for both to play and England to be allowed five qualifiers. They then changed the rules, with the result that Chelsea qualified at Spurs' expense for the 2012–13 season. But why shouldn't the top four and the European Champions both be allowed to qualify?
It was much simpler in the old days when only the National Champions and the European Champions qualified for the European Cup. It's very nice to qualify for the Champions League just by finishing in the top four, but tough for teams that finish 4th and then find their place usurped by Champions League winners.
And things can only get worse with Europa League winners getting Champions League places too from next season.Open Controls

Chelsea for Mourinho or Real for CR7...
Open Controls -
definitely Chelsea...
🙄Open Controls-
or maybe PSG now when I think of it...
the important part being to show that titles can be purchased as long as you tip enough truckloads of money at itOpen Controls

United. If they get knocked out anyone besides barca/chelsea

1st post for a while and I hit the bottom of the page! Hurrah! 🙂

Eriksen. One of my FTs this week is Gerrard to Eriksen.

Not a high flyer but I would prefer Erik 🙂
Open Controls-
Ta Zan.

John Cena to beat Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania is 4/1 with PP.
Strange odds. I'd pencil my prediction in at about 50/50 and most wrestling sites with predictions are about 60/40 in favour of Cena.
Just putting it out there for anybody who intends on watching WM and fancies a flutter.
If you don't like wrestling, your derogatory comments shall be met with little concern on my part.Open Controls-
bray will win imo
Open Controls -
1/3 with sky and with wrestling you know what tat means
Open Controls -
Can't understand why anyone would bet on something that's fixed.
Open Controls-
easy money?
Open Controls
-
-
It's 4/1 for a reason. PP probably follow the odds of a reliable source who will get results correct 95% of the time.
Open Controls-
Yeah, I'm confident they have some kind of source.
WWE have been known to change plans in the run-up to WM though and 4/1 seems very generous. I'll probably put a tenner on it to spice up the watching.
Just thought I'd share.Open Controls
-
-
Cena always miraculously wins everything, so I wouldn't be surprised tbh..
What are the odds on Undertaker?Open Controls-
1/66
Open Controls

-
-
been going 30 years and one of the most watched sporting events worldwide, must have some appeal to it
Open Controls

Wyatt will win. Can't see many other heel victories on the card. (Taker, Shield, Bryanx2)
Open Controls -
oh come on. at least cricket is a real sport
Open Controls-
Lets not get carried away here.
Open Controls -
Don't get me started on real sport http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/26/article-2179100-01D10F5E0000044D-707_468x319.jpg

I'm quite excited to get de Guzman this week. I feel I have been too template for too long. And it's not points chasing, I know he won't score 2 goals every week but he is in a more attacking role if he keeps it, on pens and Swansea on form.
Anyone else excited by their transfer this week?Open Controls-
Na, my team is template and boring besides the hemeroid that is Kolarov.
Open Controls -
i wish i was as confident, no idea what to do
Open Controls-
I felt like that start of the week. I only really considered JDG as it allowed me to do Kosc > baines as my other FT but I am happy that it has forced me to do something different.
Open Controls
-
-
De Guzman is a good move, especially in a couple of GWs time. My Gerrard to Eriksen move excites me as it a little away from template.
Open Controls-
I like Erik too though it would be a third time for me and the scars are still fresh. Hope he does well for spurs sake anyway
Open Controls
-
-
Bony takes pens for Swansea now.
I'm excited about getting Marcus AlonsoOpen Controls -
Hi Zan,my Solomon friend,mine isn't as exciting as yours but needed doing,got Ward in for Clyne who had started to troll my team for a few weeks,glad to have gotten rid.
Do like the De Guzman diff mate,could be a corker that.
Hope you are well fella.Open Controls-
Solomons out in force tonight! I still have Chambers. I have decided to keep as he can either rot on my bench, or make an injury covering appearance and be my second highest scoring player of a miserable GW.
Open Controls-
Hey up Phil mate,nice to hear from you too man,good to see the Islanders all still posting and active,yeah last week was one to forget for sure,fingers crossed we can get back on the green arrows this GW bud
Open Controls

Points chasing ward? 😉
All good with me CS, had a bad week as well last week, hoping for better things over the next fewOpen Controls-
Good to hear fella,good luck with the run in too.Have a good one mate
Open Controls
-
-
-
In an attacking role he's a very good pick. Done me well in ufpl. I'm happy to have eriksen back this week. Held on as long as I could last time. He's potential gold dust for FPL
Open Controls

-
Who to play: Mutch or Puncheon?
Open Controls-
Muncheon...
no wait PutchOpen Controls
-
Apparently the ball boys touched the ball more than some United players the other night
Open Controls -
Pick 3 good winners from the PL this week;
Mine are City, Utd and NORWICH (considering home form and situation at WBA, nice price too..)
What are yours?Open Controls-

Don't fancy a look at Villa? Fulham seem resigned to relegation, although they did beat them 2-0 at the Cottage..
Benteke has started scoring since then thoughOpen Controls

Fair shout with Pool, Hammers have lost every single home game to top ten sides bar ONE this season!
Open Controls -
Agreed

Pool, United, Norwich
Open Controls -
United, Villa, Cardiff
Open Controls-
Cardiff, Villa.
Cardiff a ballsy one! This is a Palace team who beat Chelsea remember 😉
Oh and Tony 'ten men on the line' Pulis could tactically choke Cardiff out the game, as Allardyce did to ChelseaOpen Controls-
two crap teams will have to attack each other, and i think that favours Cardiff. im not voting Villa as much as voting against Fulham 😀
Open Controls

Ballsy transfers or stoopid, all for -4 over next two gw's?
Mata> Yaya
Hazard> Silva
Rooney> Aguero
Sturridge> LukakuOpen Controls -

Hazard Yaya Silva Mutch
Lukaku Sturridge Suarez(c)
Davis; Puncheon, Dann, DemelOpen Controls-
Are you still running in the Grand National this weekend???
Open Controls

-
Anyone else thinking of getting rid of sturridge?
Open Controls-
Sturridge to Aguero for me. Not sure id get rid for anyone else .
Open Controls -
-
Slightly thinking about it. Keeping him for this weekend and see the state of Aguero then think about it.
Open Controls-
Yeah, I can't really see adequate replacement apart from Aguero even...he burned me with his injured last time though...took a -8 for nothing!
Open Controls
-
-
I'm planning to ditch him for Aguero next week. obviously waiting for fitness news...
Open Controls -
Gw 36 for Rooney
Open Controls

I'm going to bed now, so their is no point staying on this site any longer.

you have to be under 18 to like wrestling yet over 18 to bet. so agree, not legal

Assuming the bookies decide the outcome, sounds no different than betting in IPL and many horse races
