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.

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

        Yeah i also think Rio will start, but I wonder another will be Jones or Evans? that's a big problem

      If Rio's fit, then the defence should be

      Smalling Rio Jones Evra.

      However he may be kept safe for the champions league game on wednesday, so if he does then Evans will play.

    Like most I’m deciding if RVP is worth ‘hacking’ into the rest of my team. Basically it comes down to the following:-

    A. Arteta & Suarez
    B. Petrov & RVP

    Current Team:

    Given, (Vorm)
    Jose Enrique, Bosingwa, Simpson / Brown, (De Laet)
    Silva, Young, Arteta, Brunt, (Dyer)
    Rooney, Dzeko, Suarez

    Another one for your thoughts is:-

    1. Kompany & Dyer
    2. Brown & Brunt

      Whilst i think that team is better balanced than the RVP alternative (you are looking along similar lines to myself).

      Im looking ahead and i still think that without RVP captaincy options are thin on the ground.

    He will come straight into my team come GW6 if he starts the next two games.

        Not the same as Malouda and Kalou - he plays on the right this is where Anelka lines up.

        Mata, Drogba/Torres, Sturridge - likely front 3 for Chelsea as the season progresses.

        big oak - in pre season he was playing on the right side as part of a front 3. Malouda generally plays left side (where I think Mata will play mostly). Yes Kalou can play right but he has been poor every time he has started.

        I hope Sturridge gets a start this weekend.

        On the basis of his form (last season and pre-season) I think it would be stupid for AVB to ignore him. Also Malouda and Kalou have been far from inspiring.

      unlikely, even with a squad liek mancity it would be crazy to rest a player in such form, especially that it took him 10 months to get there

    Anyone know if Saha is likely to play this week?

    If not, any suggestions for who to replace him with (for a hit)? Will have 9.7 and currently have Rooney and Dzecko.

    Suarez would be the obvious choice, but his fixtures aren't great and I've heard Kenny commenting recently that he's tired. Would I be better off getting a cheapie and leaving cash in the bank to upgrade a mid next week? Thinking Holt, Fletcher, Graham etc.

    Marnin!

    Have wildcarded and currently have a team of 2 halves. On the one side i have Rooney, Van Persie, Dzeko, Mata, Silva and Arteta.
    On the other side i have the rest of the players that are worth no more than 4.5mill.
    My question is, is it worth it to have 6 potential big hitters that are pretty much fixture proof and just rotate the dross around them, or is this too risky?

      So you basically have a dirt cheap defence? It's working so far this season but I prefer a bit more balance myself - 1 or 2 pricier defs.

      No harm in you having the 2 cheap mids to rotate though.

    Given (Vorm)
    Simpson Kompany Boswingwa Brown Senderos
    Sinclair Brunt Moses Silva N’Zogbia
    Torres Rooney Suarez

    I have two free transfers and really want to get RVP in but don’t know who else to get in as I need to free up 1.1M?

    1) N-Zogbia to a 6.3M midfielder? But who?
    or
    2) Sinclair to Dyer? (A midfielder 4.9 or under)

          I had been tempted by Ramsey, but with Arteta around and Wilshere out I have a feeling Ramsey might play a more holding midfield role with Song/Frimpong and will have slightly less scoring potential, I think I will just go into the weekend with only RVP because I need to downgrade Sinclair as my first priority, to give a better team balance.

          Perhaps that gives me the option to upgrade N'Zogbia in a later gameweek?

            Sounds good, it will let you see how Ramsey does, MOTM in the England/Wales game but Arsenal could be different.

    Still can’t decide on whether RVP is worth decimating my midfield for. What are your thoughts on these front 7 options

    A.
    Silva, Young, Brunt, *PETROV* (Dyer)
    Dzeko, Rooney, *RVP*

    B.
    Silva, Young, Brunt, *ARTETA* (Dyer)

      It's a tough one, I would say A, I think I'm slightly biased to RVP, thing he will score big over the next few weeks.

      Although B does have a stronger team balance.

      24 mins and scored, if he gets regular starts he'll certainly be in my team, just so much competition for places in the top teams this year.
