Continuing our series of “Talent” articles for Members, our focus turns to an unlikely source of Fantasy potential, who has only recently blinked on our radars. Newcastle’s Jonas Gutierrez has been a key component in their successful season thus far and, in recent weeks, has done enough to suggest that his game has undergone a transformation.

In this article, we raid the data available to our Members, examining our own ICT Index and the Opta performance statistics, to examine how Gutierrez has suddenly emerged as a Fantasy prospect. Crucially, we also compare him to team-mate Yohan Cabaye, who, up until now, had been considered the weapon of choice in the Magpies midfield.

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

      I know how you feel regarding no Man U cover. On my WC and brought in the RVP and VDV to replace Nani and Rooney. It just doesn't seem right to do it though and leaving me wide open. I don't think this week will be a problem but after thie GW Man U start to get better fixtures but then so does Spurs and Arsenal so there is no easy answer there at all.

      He is in good form to be fair, though I still think he isn't a FPL player long term. Gutted though with Cabaye's rewards, if the bonus system was the same as last year and if he was a tiny bit luckier with his shooting (particularly in the Villa game) he'd be raking in the points.
      Rotten fixtures coming up for us though, might have to get rid of two of my three.
