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:
2 new options... A still the best bet?
A) GW33: Nolan -> Eriksen
GW34: Gerrard & Sturridge -> Lallana/Ramsey & Aguero
B) GW33: Nolan & Sturridge -> Hazard & Dzeko
GW34: Gerrard -> Lallana/Ramsey/Santi
C) GW33: Nolan & Gerrard -> Hazard & Ki
GW34: Sturridge -> Aguero
D) GW33: Nolan & Baines -> Dann & Hazard
GW34: Gerrard & Sturridge -> Lallana/Ramsey & Aguero (4 points)
Mannone
Baines, Terry, Chester
Yaya, Silva, Gerrard, Nolan
Suarez, Sturridge, Lukaku
Gazzaniga, Distin, Williamson, Gnabry
Bank 0.5m, 2 freebiesOpen ControlsLike C.
D its a no go, since you lose Baines (dew) and 4 point hit.Open ControlsYeah, iv gone off D now. A vs C looks close - just ran a comparison of Hazard vs Eriksen over the last 4 weeks - Eriksen romped it!
Open Controls
A looks by far the best to me. Commited to losing Sturridge?
Open ControlsI think so yeah. Fixtures stiffening, doubles for others and I have some LIV cover in Suarez.
I think A and C look best, closely followed by B. Don't fancy Hazard?Open Controls
Is it with losing either Koscielny (WHM) or Cahill (swa) for Demichelis next week for a hit?
Open ControlsSorry, one more if anyone would be so kind..
Bony -> Dzeko this week or hold out for Aguero next week?Open ControlsAre you planning going with Dzeko and Aguero?
Open Controls
Srsly need some help on who to play between mirallas and mutch.
Anyone got any opinions?Open ControlsThe team looks like this
Boruc/Vorm
Azpilcueta coleman chambers/turner/ward
snodgrass johnson yaya BARKLEY Hazard
Sturidge Suarez(jelavic)
2.9 in the bank.
I need to replace barkley. should i be looking to swtich out jelavic as well and if so to who?Open ControlsIf Barkley is conformed out for more than a week get Eriksen in - GW 33
Try to get Lukaku in for Jelavic - GW 34Open Controls
Anyone playing Marshall against Palace this gw? Have a FT that I feel I want to spend upgrading Marshall have 4.8 to spend
Open ControlsAre you crazy fella? 🙂 This is one of few games in the season where you might expect Cardiff to keep a clean sheet. Save the FT,will be handy next week!
Open ControlsBut the season ticket says both have an easy game this week.
Open ControlsYou may be right, other keeper is Mannone. It dawned on me both my keepers are fighting for survival and will probably concede quite a bit.
Mannone is staying for extra games.Open ControlsSeems like a sidestep. Not sure it helps this GW.
Open ControlsYeah, but between Marshall and Mannone…play Marshall.
I just got you an option, since you ask.Open Controls
Can't see Mannone doing well in the dgw. Speroni should get at least one cleansheet **hope**
Open Controls
or could do Barkley to Mirallas and hold on Jelavic to maybe Dzeko next week seeing Agueros status
Open ControlsI seek wisdom!
Start
Mannone or Marshall
MOlsson or Ward
ThxOpen ControlsThx
Open Controls
Any opinions on Henderson as a Gerrard replacement?
Open Controlsno way.
Open ControlsJudging by that shot he had over the bar the other game when even my dead grandmother could've scored kinda tells me all I need to know about Henderson. He's good for about 4 or 5 gameweek returns a season, and that's not enough to justify picking him up for me. Of course, maybe you'll get him for one of those rare times he has double figures. And, yes, he did eventually score in that game, but it was kinda bogus with the free kick finding a hole through a group of people and somehow going in. Nothing he intended. I know people have their reservations about Eriksen, but I'd much rather go with him than Hendo. (sorry for the novel)
Open ControlsI thought I was being oh so clever getting him at the start, he hit the post on day one and points looked sure to follow. They did: 3,3,,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2zzzz. But since I sold him he has never looked back, he has scored close to 100pts since early November. I just think he's improving all the time.
Open ControlsHe's not the worst prospect in the world. And, he could always toss in a goal or two here and there. - - After writing this, I took a look at him just to brush up. He's actually the 8th highest points getter for all midfielders. WTF! That is astonishing.....and his numbers really aren't that bad. Man, I'm starting to think maybe it isn't such a bad idea. I feel a tad enlightened right about now!
Open Controls
Gerrard > Eriksen
already have Yaya, Hazard and Silva. trying to close a gap of 70 points.
a) Yes
b) NoOpen ControlsAm watching Portlandia in my hotel. Never seen it before.
I like itOpen ControlsI watched that pretty regularly a couple years back. Definitely was of considerable quality overall. Good for some laughs for sure. And, I like that it's fairly different from anything else on the telly.
Open ControlsSounds pretty hilarious to me. Unfortunately, I don't have the channel anymore on my cable. I miss that show.
Open Controls
Would you rather have
a) Dann for DGW (AVL, eve) +
Eriksen GW35 onwards (FUL sto whm AVL) +
Lukaku on GW36 only (sou)
(Playing 3-4-3 GW 35 onwards)
or
b) Ki for DGW (EVE mci) +
Evra GW35 onwards (eve NOR SUN HUL sou) +
Rooney on GW36 only (NOR)

Yaya Nasri Hazard Mirallas
Lukaku Suarez Sturridge
Subs: Mannone Olsson Ward ParkerOpen ControlsRobbie Keane is my captain this weekend for Fantasy MLS! *prepares himself for backlash against MLS* - - Seriously, it's good fun. Played it for the first time last year, and if nothing else, it was an ideal way to fill the gap when the Prem League is on summer break.
Open Controlslink please?
Open ControlsIf you're talkin' to me, here ya go. It's already gameweek 4 this weekend, but that ain't the biggest of deals if ya just wanna get in and have some fun. Defoe out with a hammy. Had to take a -4 to get Keane, but I think it was worth it, especially since Keane is going up against Chivas. http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/

RMT Could i get away with saving my swaps as want 2 c situations on (Aguero Ramsey when kos is back if zableta gets a 9th yellow etc and what 2 city players i want
Mannone
Aspz,Olsson,Ivanovic
Mata,Hazard,Yaya,Mutch
SUAREZ,sturridge,lukaku

Open ControlsNo according to totalfpl which is very accurate.

What transfers should I make to this lot? 0.1 ITB, 1FT
Boruc (Mannone)
Baines Kolarov Azpi (Kosc Chester)
Hazard Snodgrass Yaya Nasri (Puncheon)
Suarez Sturridge LukakuOpen ControlsPlay Mutch or Lukaku?

A) Adrian to Harper
B) studge to dzeko
C) snoddy to Mutch/aj/puncheonOpen ControlsAdrian mannone
Azpileta baines distin dann Chester
Haz yaya silva snoddy mutch

Suarez Sturridge LukakuOpen ControlsYour keeper selections seem a bit weak, but not sure that warrants too much concern in general, as keeper transfers can be tricky. Otherwise, lookin' pretty good. Might consider keeping that FT for next week's DGW.
Open ControlsI'd be saving my swap then nxt week downgrade snodgrass horrible fixures to say ki then maybe Sturridge to aguero
Open ControlsForget that just realised got full city
Open Controls
Save
Next week snod and Kosc > Coleman + mutch
You won't play snod next week and crap last 4 fixturesOpen Controls
How's the team looking?
Speroni
Zab - Cahill - Coleman
Silva - Yaya - Gerrard - Hazard
Suarez - Studge - Lukaku
Ward - Chester - Poz
1FT...0.1 itb
Gerrard and Zab are concerns as they're close to the yellow card ban. Also will need to get rid of both if Aguero comes back.Open ControlsSterling to Eriksen or save transfer? My gut is telling me to get Snodgrass for 1 week.
Open ControlsSave imo. I like Eriksen but Sterling could easily match or beat his score and having 2FT next week could be valuable
Don't waste FTs with one week punts imo, over time these don't tend to pay off.Open Controls
Comment removed. Please refer to our terms and conditions on posting comments.
He's 3rd behind Yaya & Silva but better than most if he gets the minutes/games.
Open ControlsWhat was wrong with my comment,TM? Can't remember what it said!
Open ControlsIt wasn't your comment.

Im in zugzwang !!
Have a free transfer , but any move i make , could actually make my team worseOpen ControlsJust realised my 3 UFPL goalkeepers this week are Boruc (mcy), Adrian (LIV) and Mannone (tot)
Clearly I left no stone unturned in planning my squadOpen ControlsI have Speroni and hoping he holds out against a very attacking Cardiff side, not confident though.
Open Controls
Who to bench this GW (obviously some of these mids/fwds aren't an option)?
YaYa Lallana Hazard Mutch Snodgrass
Suarez Rooney Sturridge
Probably down to Mutch or Snodgrass.Open ControlsAnyone kind enough to point me in the right direction?
2 FT and .4 itb
Mannone (Boruc)
Ivanovich, Coleman, Ward (Chester, Chambers)
Yaya, Hazard, Gerard, Mirallas (Noone)
Suarez (c), Sturridge, Lukaku
Thank you so much! Struggling here.Open ControlsMaybe Chester to Vlaar? Or Clark or Bardsley for DGW love? Otherwise, your team looks pretty solid.
Open ControlsAfter having Bardsley pick up 0pts from 2 full games in the last DGW, I'd think twice about that option.
Open ControlsYeah. I know it's risky. Especially given that the DGW isn't that promising. The guy has attacking qualities, though, regardless. Just thought I'd throw some possibilities in there since someone asked.
Open Controls
Thanks, but unfortunately I can only sell Chester for 3.8. So I'm .1 short on all those transfers. Noone to Delph? Gerard to Silva for a punt? Gerard to cheapy to pave the way for a lukaku to Aguero transfer? Thank you for your response.
Open ControlsAh. Yeah. Whoops. My bad. Got a few things going on here and did some poor math.
Open ControlsMaybe move Chambers instead then? Southampton don't keep a lot of clean sheets when he's in the bunch.
Open Controls
Ivanovic to a Man City defender for the DGW?
Open ControlsI'm not adverse to that Gerrard to Silva move. Looks a pretty good option overall. I got Gerrard out last gameweek for Yaya. And, I'm pretty happy about it......I have Silva as well.
Open ControlsHave Gerrard, yaya and Silva but thinking of shipping Gerrard out myself. No longer on corners and concerned about a possible ban
Open ControlsHmmmm what if I go Gerard to Henderson this week so I don't waste the transfer. Then I get to keep ivanovich for another week while he plays stoke at home. Next week I transfer ivanovich out for Demi, leaving me with just enough for lukaku to Aguero once he's fit. Thoughts? Thanks so much for all the replies.
Open Controls
Tough one, that. Lallana and Mutch?
Open Controls
No Scoutcast?
Open ControlsNone for the next two weeks and then Mark is planning some kind of interactive scoutcast. Could be chaos 😆
Open ControlsWhat a disaster.
No scoutcast for the DGW?Open ControlsI guess not. Waiting to see if Aguero turns up for the weekend before sorting my DGW moves. Have you got any plans for GW34 ?
Open Controls
Interactive sounds good and it is Mark's website to do as he as he feels is right but I would rather just have a regular scoutcast next week that I can listen to at my leisure than one super dooper interactive scoutcast the week after that I probably won't be able to listen to live anyway so will just play back on recording.
Open Controls
These guys are getting lazy. 🙂
Open ControlsI'm available for hire if they need someone to do the Scoutcasts. Of course, being an American, I'm sure a lot of people would just kick my shite to the curb. 🙁
