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:

would u have silva or Man City defender? (kun+ yaya the other 2)
if city get 4-5 clean sheets isnt a city defender a better choice than silva (unless he delivers each week)
thoughts please?Open ControlsDO you expect city to keep 4-5 clean sheets?
Open Controlsdo u think it is unlikely?
they have west brom, bentekeless villa, sunderland, west ham all of these at home and palace away
i assume they wil concede vs pool, everton and southampton (also a chance for a clean sheet here)Open ControlsEntirely possible. Just wondering how you felt about it. If your gut tells you thats the way to go it might be a good idea. However, clean sheets are major uncertainties, so people tend to put their faith in the more expensive attackers and rely on cheap defenders. It's not just city defender vs SIlva. Gotta look at city defender + cheap mid vs silva + cheap defender.
Open Controls
Well I think Silva has potentially more upside but Zabaleta could easily outscore him points wise.
Open Controlsi thank u both
Open ControlsWell, if man city fails to score, thats three players blank, with defenders, could get clean sheet points still. Big if anyways.
Open Controls
Play Chester (SWA) or Burner (CPL)?
Open ControlsOk so Dzeko, Rooney or Hazard as captain?
Which 2 to bench out of Fabio Coleman Davies Bassong & Dann?Open ControlsRooney. Toon are well leaky.

Idea for possible rule change for next season. Someone may have thought of this already, but.......
Be allowed to sub in one player on your bench for one of your starters. However, the move will cost you your free transfer for the following gameweek.
So, for example, this gw just gone I could've transferred in Ward for Coleman or Cahill and gotten his 12 points but at the forfeit of a free transfer this week.
The loss of a free transfer makes it fair for everyone and means players will have to think before just subbing in a player from their bench especially if they need to make transfers the following gw as that will now cost them 4 pts.Open ControlsI'd rather have the guaranteed points. Would make cheap explosive bench players very valuable.
Open ControlsYou only need to transfer someone with 4 more than the player you take out to come out even. Silly idea imo but would make having a full team played more important.
Open ControlsI love ideas like this - even if there is a flaw in the logic - so wouldn't call it silly. But if you have a 6 pointer (say) on your bench it's a bit of a no brainer to sub them in for your inevitable 1 pter.
Open ControlsIt's silly when there's a big flaw. FTs are really worth 4 pts imo. You got the math straight away. I'd prefer the sub a player for a player who hasn't played & lose a FT & hope they cover the hit compared to having "known" points to play with. May as well make it automatic 12th man. Buried Ward as 3rd sub coming on would be a joke.
Open Controls
Currently these is my defender in my team ;
Cahill, Coleman, demel, zaba, ward
I'm going to transfer out demel (price 4.4), who should I buy?
Currently have 0.9in the bank.
Need your guys opinion.Open ControlsHad the successful Chelsea DEF double-up for a little while now... wondering if its time to shift?
Current DEF: Ivanovic, Cahill, Zabaleta, Coleman, Ward
Worth a Cahill > Demichelis/Kompany transfer this GW?Open ControlsCahill vs Stoke is better than Kompany vs Southampton..
I would save and do it next week..Open Controls
Can anyone give me a reason not to do Evra to Kompany?
Open ControlsAdrián
Baines Chester Azpilicueta
Yaya Mutch Hazard Nolan
Suárez Lukaku Sturridge
Boruc Ward John Ki
1FT & 1.6ITB
1. start Nolan or John or Ward?
2. start Adrian or Boruc?
3. kick out Nolan (If so, for who) or save FT?
Thanks!Open ControlsPlay 3 out of the 4 options:
Coleman Zabaleta Cahill Ivanovic
1FT to be used this week on Nolan > Eriksen
MID: Hazard Toure Snodgrass EriksenOpen Controlswho should I get for the rest of the season:
a) rodriguez
b) bonyOpen ControlsPlay chester or nolan?
Open ControlsTa.
Depressing.Open Controls
When Wenger said Koscielny will be back the week after next at the latest did he indicate it was against The Hammers or Hull ?
Open ControlsSaw studge goal celebration in my dream last night
Open ControlsCiteh(c) tempting anyone this week?
Open ControlsOne week punt only - Schurrle (STO), Eriksen (SUN) or Snoddy (WHM)?
Open ControlsHello everyone.
Open ControlsHi. X
Open Controls
Pick 3 to start.
Coleman, Mirallas (ARS), Olsson (WBA), Chester (SWA)Open ControlsFirst 3
Open Controls
How would you improve this squad?
Smalling out for starters...
Mannone / Kelvin Davis
Cahill / Coleman / Ward / Demel / Smalling
Noone / Mirallas / Silva / Gerrard / Yaya Touré
Sturridge / Lukaku / Suárez
2 FT, £0.6m in the bank.Open ControlsYeah, I'd look towards a quickfix in defense. Smalling should probably be your priority.
Smalling -> Chester to free up some cash and "prepare" for GW37? You're okay for GW34 anyways, sort of a boring long-term transfer. Then save the other one for next GW.Open ControlsCheers mate.
Hull defender isnt too appealing thoughOpen Controls
Yaya(C) next week unless I find a way to get in Aguero
with Silva , Yaya , Zaba already in there , don't think he is coming in any wayOpen ControlsYaya (c) makes sense.
Open ControlsWish i went Yaya(c) in Citeh's last DGW....
Open Controls
If Aguero is fit and ready to go I'd rather captain Silva than Yaya.
Open Controlsand David Silva. and Sergio Aguero.
Open Controls
Steering clear of City players for captaincy unless Aguero is back with a bang, going with Lukaku. The keyword here is forward.
Open ControlsYeah, I'm surprised no one is taking a punt on Lukaku(c)...
sun/CPAL
I think I might.Open ControlsWhat? He's surely the default and most popular (c) choice this GW? Obvious choice with fixtures like that, nailed on and okay form.
Open Controls
Lukaku is a great option , but He is not explosive and He is up vs 2 solid Defensive Teams
Open ControlsWhat are the alternatives?
Open Controls+1. He's the lesser of many evils I'd say, comfortably.
Open ControlsNow we're talking! 😀 My rival is likely to go Aguero (c), so it'll be a VERY interesting week for me...
Open ControlsMy ML leader has his 3 Citeh slots filled up at the moment....
What will convince you to go Kun(c)? Presser? Him getting say 25min this week?
Massive risk, but what the hell my season is over. I'm all for having some fun. Pity Benteke is out...Open Controls
Baines?
2 weak attacks
Good goal potential
Good bps potential
I'd expect 1cs (4) 1 goal (6) 4 bonus points and appearance... 36 point captain will do meOpen ControlsI think ill go with him too
Open Controls
Who do I ship to bring in silva
Haz or Gerrard?
I have 2FT and need to use one.Open ControlsAre we playing boruc or Manonne this week?
Open ControlsGerrard -->
a) Eriksen this week
b) Eriksen next week
c) Johnson next week
?
ThanksOpen Controlsgo on...just pick a letter?
Open Controls
Did eriksen rise in price last night?
Open ControlsTM , are u still surviving in ur LMS League or are u just there bcoz if u delete ur name u won't be able to access the League as an admin??
Open ControlsNow that Benteke(c) is a no go...any Eriksen(c) or if fit Ade(c) this GW?
Take out your balls and put them on the table.
Let's have a look.Open ControlsShaved my balls last night. I will get them out if you want.
Open Controlsim going eriksen
Open Controlsi have had hazard (c) all week, will likely keep it that way.
Open Controls
Anyone watch Palace v Chelsea game last week? I heard Puncheon was excellent, thinking of getting him in for Nolan which will give me plenty of funds for the double next week
Open Controlsbolasie lively as well
Open Controls
Still struggling with what to do with two FT's this GW.
Team atm:
Mannone Adrian
Azpi Coleman Ivanovic Chambers Olsson
Yaya Silva Gerrard Hazard Colback
Suarez Sturridge Lukaku
2FT £0.1m itb
Was planning on downgrading Gerrard to someone to allow for Aguero next DGW, but then to who. Or downgrade Adrian for more funds? So what do you think for this week
1) Gerrard -> Eriksen
2) Gerrard -> AJ
3) Adrian -> Harper
4) Olsson -> Dann
5) other better ideas most welcome!Open ControlsMannone > speroni
