In this latest article for Members we combine the current ownership data in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game and our very own ICT Index* data, to find a collection of ten players who could provide handy differentials over the weeks to come.

With the emphasis on value in the current Fantasy landscape – we particularly targeted budget players who could plug the gaps in your squad – with just one notable exception from Villas-Boas’ Kings Road fraternity.

*For those of you unfamiliar with the ICT Index, click this link for more info…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    The amount of Dzeko's appearing in RMT WC's. *yawn*. So prone to rotation and everyone'll be saying how they want to transfer him out when he comes on for 10 minutes this week!

      I'm actually pretty nervous not having him after last week. There's a chance he will have risen an unprecedented 0.4m in a gameweek.

      I wouldn't underestimate him. I don't have him but i think he will continue to score for a little while. But once champions league comes, he may be rotated, and if not, fatique will affect his game. I just feel suarez and adebayor have more to offer...

      On his & his club's form, he's as likely to score as much in 10 mins as most others will score in 90. & he's cheap. For now...

          He can be the difference this year. I'm not saying he's going to score four goals every game. But he brings something different from the rest small technical players. He's unpredictable, 6 ft 4 inch and good with both head and feet. And now it seems he has finally settled in Manchester.

          I have 4 injuries and am not making any changes to take hits - all or most of them could still play and with an 8 point hit you are very unlikely to score more than you'll lose from the hit (you do have a subs bench)

    Hiya lads,

    Had yet another tinker with my wildcarded team today, just relly wanted to know people's thoughts on what they reckon of it if you could find the time 🙂

    Given (Vorm)

    Jose Enrique - Bosingwa - Simpson (Ward, De Laet)

    Sivla - Young - Mata Dyer (Ferguson)

    Dzeko - Rooney - Suarez

    I KNOW people are gonna say 'get rid of ferguson, no good' etc etc, but it is not worth getting rid of him to upgrade and lose out on a top midfielder such as Mata, so he's staying in, simples.

    Anyhow, if you could let me know your thoughts barring Ferguson that would be great.

    Cheers 🙂

      I also need 0.5 to do Bent to RVP. And I really, really want RVP.
      It would also cost me 8 points (just like you).

            I did Yaya & Torres -> Silva & Dzeko.. Didnt realise Surman dropped in price 🙠I have him too.. My second transfer will probably Sessegnon -> Brunt, although i do want to downgrade Baines when i wildcard anyway so now may be the time although i will want him vs Wigan next week..hmmm (Probably same time as you)

                  He's certainly worth more that the 58p Wenger offered. They probably would have met half way, it's just that Cahill is a bit too english for Mr Wenger.

      I'd prob'ly go with "C" because you have defensive coverage on Chelsea and Man U already with Smalling and Bosingwa. Add Hart to that, and you don't double up on any defensive coverages. If you WANT to double up, then I'd double up on Man U, and add "A"...

      To answer your questions about clean sheets - who knows? Chelsea is not playing the kind of defensive football they did last year, Mancini is attacking a lot more, so both of these are much less likely to get cleanies this year. Man U is always a good bet and the rejuvenation of the team this year makes them look good defensively. Rio can't even get in the squad!

            Sturridge could be a very good pick but its a big risk until it's clear where he fits in AVB's plans. Shane Long has started well. Klasnic is another that's started well though I'm not keen. Maybe Doyle or Fletcher from Wolves. Grant Holt and Danny Graham are cheaper options with potential but neither have done much so far.

    Don't know if this is offensive to anyone but if so I'm sorry. Anyway this is a man who has tourettes syndrome and posts karaoke videos on his website. Hilarious.

      Link your team (FAQs) it will give people a better chance of a more informed opinion.

      It doesn't look like Bent will play (Ihave him too!)

        6 points a goal. And cahill looks full of them. And he spends most his time in a midfield position! I'm think i'm going enrique though. Cheaper, more clean sheets, and assist/bonus chance.

        I do like the Manics, especially Motorcyle Emptiness era but struggle to listen to a full album. Before I reach the end one of two things happen a) depression b) irritation at the overly shoutiness of lead singer dude's voice. Quality band though (3 songs at a time limit 🙂 )
