ICT Analysis – Mikel Arteta vs Swansea

13 September 2011 1607 comments

Mark

With the season now in full swing, we begin to adjust our sights when it comes to the statistical analysis available to our Members. We’re set to focus on specific players and teams a good deal more from now on.

Today’s article is a case in point – all eyes were on Mikel Arteta at the Emirates this weekend and Fantasy managers will have been keen to assess how he settled amongst his new team-mates and, indeed, how he fared when it comes to the key performance statistics.

We delve into his ICT Index figures then, drilling down into the Opta data to investigate how Arteta at Arsenal compared to his typical Everton displays of last season, and assess his potential from this point.

        Hasn't there been talk about FPL tweaking the price change rules, so that a player just needs to hit their original NTI/O again to rise/fall twice. Would make sense given my poor old Nzog is now 7.3!

        Yeah, I think that might be the case. It looks like my poor ol' Timmy Cahill is heading for his third drop. Crazy when he got an assist last week and a home game vs Wigan coming up.
        I've Hughes also, who is def dropping tonight.

        It's counterproductive for the game as it's encouraging people to transfer in the same players. No longer is it a good idea to keep patience. I mean look at Suarez, 2 unlucky blanks and he takes a fall.

        I suppose that's what the site wants though, more people logging in checking on their players regularly and making transfers.
        
        Tbh i've never liked any aspect of the transfer rises & falls. It just means anoraks with very little footballing knowledge check a website, see who'll rise/fall and make their transfers accordingly, build up a strong value with popular players and they're pretty much guaranteed a top 100,000 finish at least.
        Also, it'll often force you to make transfers early so you can afford whoever, days before the GW and then you have to pray the player doesn't get injured in between.. so you have to get lucky.

      Yeah... I try not to be too affected by it. Sinclair for example I still think will come good so haven't considered selling him.
      
      Sessegnon however it might be time to get rid, but he is on penalties now so i'll let him play vs Stoke.

Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
14 years, 4 months ago
My first year playing this champions league fantasy football. Really like the subs idea.
In future an fpl should allow a player to play one sub, that would otherwise be benched? Have that Instead of this autosub thing. I know it wouldn't suit the casual player. But the casual player has the advantage of captaining Rooney so it all levels out! 🙂

      I think the sub system was nice in the world cup game, and works ok in the CL, but I wouldn't like it in FPL.
      
      They've f*cked around with what was a winning formula too much already.

        It works for the CL game because the games are split over 2 days evenly. That doesn't happen in the PL, in fact it would imbalance the game as most of the big sides play on Sunday more often.

Judging by his form in that game he could score good points. His price has dropped recently too.

  He did play well. BUT, he was up against what the general concesus says is the worst left back in the game ie Raylor.
  
  Plus, its same old same old SWP that he has always been - pace, trickery, able to beat a man but NO consistent final deliverable, be that shot or cross......

    It was a classic SWP performance. Flattering to deceive and ultimately failing to deliver anything in terms of goals and assists. And you're right, Raylor is an abysmal defender.

Right, i had Adriano captain today and he scored a goal and received a yellow card. With just 5 points(doubled to ten) is it worth giving the armband to Rooney for Benfica(a) tomorrow?
