Our second members article of the week turns to our very own ICT Index to analyse those players with the most impressive underlying data. 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 forwards over the last four Gameweeks:
Repost:
I think my captain choice this week could be one of the most important of the season for me. I lead my rival by 9 points but with Suarez playing Chelsea I imagine a lot of people will take a punt elsewhere. So it will come down to my captain choice vs his rather than the usual case of both putting it on Suarez.
So, who should I captain?
1) Baines
2) Erikson
3) Nasri
4) Mata
5) Ramsey
6) Aguero
7) Rooney
8) SuarezOpen Controls
Too much pressure on me to answer especially if it fails so for that reason........I'M OUT
Open Controls
*oot
Open ControlsHow about if I said it wasn't important in the slightest and I am sitting in last place in my ML, about 124 points adrift. Who should I captain?
Open Controls
i actually think suarez is a great choice this week.............. reminds me of when we went to spurs expecting a tough match, now che are better than spurs but I think we'll do better thsn ppl expect
ramsey is my choice at the moOpen Controls

Open Controls
Aguero is my choice at the moment but Ramsey is tempting...
Open Controls
Are you going to captain whoever gets the most votes?
Open ControlsWas thinking Ramsey, Mata or Rooney but wanted to hear what people's thoughts were.
Open Controls
Rooney
Open Controls
if on a dgw whim i got wikham/borini in.............. who would you drop from midfield
AJ* - eriksen (sto) - ramsey (WBA) - gerrard (cpl) - nasri*
i guess eriksen or gerrard..... neither of which sound good to bench................Open Controls
Good to go for the weekend? Playing Chester over Ward due to my City attackers, not quite sure if thats a legitimate reason or not but feels right. Barkley is the only one im having concerns about, worth a hit to get him out? .1 banked only.
Mannone
Baines Kompany Chester
Nasri AJ Eriksen Barkley
Rooney (C) Suarez (VC) Aguero
Marshall Ward Flanagan Jedinak
ThanksOpen Controls
Nooo, don't take a hit to sell Barkley. Mirrallass is out for the season... FPL points are a promise to no man, but surely he will start and contribute to the attack.
Open Controls
Will Giggs play Januzaj? either this week or in DGW?
He is rotting on my bench as my non playing midfielder...Open ControlsNothing wrong with bench-rot. I have had Parker sitting on my bench most of the season.
Open Controls- Open Controls
a pointless sign 😉
Open Controls
Thanks all
Open Controls
Play Boruc (EVE) or Adrian (wba)?
Open Controls
So after I transfer out Silva for Ramsey it leaves me with £4.2 million to play around with, anything worth a hit?
Mannone
Coleman Azpi Baines
Eriksen Sterling Gerrard Ramsey
Suarez Lukaku Aguero
Davis Ward Chester Pozuelo
I don't want Rooney yet, will have a look this weekend and get him for free next week if I need to. Likewise Mata, would rather have the players I already have. Anything else worth a hit?Open Controls
Best option for the DGW?
A) Yaya, Nasri and Evans/Smalling
B) Yaya, Evra and ZabaletaOpen Controls
Guys I'm currently chasing a 16 point lead - it was a 75 point lead a few weeks ago so I've done pretty well!
This is my current team with a -4:
Adrian
Terry, Baines, Coleman, Chambers, John,
Ramsey, Mata, Gerrard, Eriksen
Suarez, Lukaku, Aguero
Can't decide whether to take another hit or 2...
A) Terry>Kosc -4
B) Terry>Kosc, Lukaku> Rooney -8Open Controls
I would do A
Open ControlsThanks both.
Yeah I think I have to do A as my bench players wont play but cant decide whether or not its worth another -4 to take a gamble on Rooney. Maybe its a risk I don't need to take as I am not that far behind my ML leader and could easily make the points up in the last few GW's but another part of me thinks its the last few GW's so just have a bit of fun lolOpen Controls
Sometimes this place is only thing that gets me through the day at work.
Thanks allOpen ControlsIt's rough...

I wonder if he ever does her John Terry-style.

Except Koscielny, all my defenders are playing away games. Which 2 defenders would you to play this week (along with Koscielny)? Whom shall I keep 1st sub?
Baines (sou), Koscielny (NEW), Kolarov (cry), Ivanovic (liv), Chester (ful)
Presently on Kolarov and Baines with Ivanovic first sub.Open ControlsI'd keep it just as you have it set.

Cahill or Flanagan
Play 1, bench 1
My track record at playing the right defenders this season is woeful, so I can't even be bothered trying
If you own Ward I'd play him, simply because I'm notOpen Controlscahill....
Open Controls
Have Azpilicueta and Flanagan, playing Flanagan.
Open Controls
Against top 8:
Chelsea with CS's in Etihad, Emirates, Old Trafford and St.Marrys.
Only 1 goal conceded at Goodison and White Hart Lane.
Liverpool with CS's vs Everton, United and Tottenham
Only 1 goal conceded vs Arsenal and Southampton
2 goals concede vs City.Open Controls
Yaya + Smalling or Nasri + Jones for DGW?
Open Controlsyaya & smalling
Open Controls
With this back 5: ivan coleman azpi ward and distin
Would u take a hit to do distin to zab?Open Controls
Leading my league by 43pts.
Boruc
Cahill, Chester, Coleman, Zabs (Ward)
Gerrard, Eriksen, Johnson (Jedi, Ince)
Lukaku, Suarez, Aguero(C)
Already did Silva > Johnson to setup for Rooney. What would you do?
1. Have fun and do -4 for Lukaku > Rooney(C) as well?
2. Hold off in hopes Lukaku gets hungry for that 4th spot?Open Controls
I think Rooney is a good pick for this GW, the game against Norwich will be pretty open, Norwich have to try and score goals (like they did against Liverpool), but that leaves them exposed at the back. Giggs will apparently try to bring back some attacking football, if he manages it, Rooney will be at the centre of it with RVP out. I think Lukaku might get a goal or an assist but that Rooney will still outscore him by 6 or 7.
Open Controls
For potential Suarez cappers: In 11 games against the rest of the current top 7 Chelsea has conceded an average of 0.45 goals per game and never more than 1 goal.
These quotes about a 'weakened squad' are just mind-games, Mourinho tactics will be in full effect this weekend. Beware.Open Controlsagree, but i think ppl are underestimating pool
Open Controls
Of course he's lying. He's very transparent, but believes he's a master of illusion.
Open Controls
You must have missed Daniel's earlier post. He revealed their official lineup for Sunday and the defence contained players that hadn't played PL football.
Open ControlsOops, I take that back. It's going to be a solid looking backline.
Open Controls
Daniel, the guy on here with the the red jerseyed player for a grav? 😆
Open Controls
They will be without Cech and Terry though, "rotation" aside, bound to make a difference.
Open ControlsAll I know is that if Rooney (c) doesn't pop off with Mata feeding him assists, I'm going to be irate.
Open Controls
- Open Controls
Lukaku & Lallana -> Rooney & Ramsey (-4)?
Should it be done tonight or wait?Open ControlsCould be said for a return to the days of No Mata 😯 this weekend?
At least if he misses out I have Them Moves (HUL) waiting to come inOpen Controls
He's gone to McDonalds I heard.
Open Controls
Ramsey captain feels so risky!!! Guess it's the fear of King Luis Suarez
Open Controls
Ramsey(c) here too.
Open Controlswould not worry about Suarez 😉
In 11 games against the rest of the current top 7 Chelsea has conceded an average of 0.45 goals per game and never more than 1 goal.Open ControlsThings are a bit different now though, Jose appears to have lost interest in this game over CL pursuit, CL midweek fixture will also have taken it's toll, they are without Terry and Cech, and very few if any of the top 7 have come away from Anfield with a smile on their face.
Open ControlsI have never bought into Jose's rants, the fact is he has now choice now but to rest or protect his most important players for the game v Madrid. Lampard and Mikel will start at Anfield for certain to begin with.
Open Controlsthis, hes not goin to suddenly produce terry and cech from his arse and go ha! fooled you.......
they have a good squad, good enough to park the bus, but its not as good as full strength and pool are relentlessOpen Controls
I'm captaining him.

Which one to go for ??
1. Lukaku to Wazza (-4) (but you can see there is no bench backup and weak defense)
2. Distin > Alonso (-4) and bench Azpi
3. NoneOpen ControlsRamires banned four games after accepting the FA's violent conduct charge
Open Controls
Who would you captain now that Josè has decided to line up a weakened team? Are you going for someone like Rooney or Ramsey or maybe are you opting for Gerrard?
Open ControlsSurely Suarez.
