Our latest article for our members this week takes a closer look at our very own ICT Index. Here we identify those players who have registered high “Threat”scores but have yet to find the net and, examining their performances so far, we further analyse each player’s potential by casting an eye over their “Creativity” scores in the Index…

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Any thoughts on this WC team?

    Vorm Begovic

    Rafael S Taylor Boyce Demel Clyne

    Yaya Bale Michu Ben Arfa Guthrie

    RVP Tevez Graham

    Main concerns: Will Rafael definitely start? Is my defence too weak?

    Got some cash saved up to bring in Hazard next week.

    Thanks

    To the men of the FPL I give this caution. Your weakest point will be the point at which RVP tries to tempt you, and will try to win you, he will add to that weakness. Resist him and you will gain in strength. He will tempt you in another point. Resist him and he becomes weaker and you become stronger

      it will be a complete waste because you won't get any price rises. If you're gonna do it early in the season, you gotta pull it at the start of the GW and try to throw in a few players who will go up in price, even if you'll ultimately transfer them out before the next deadline

      Def mid I'd have thought, considering the De Jong departure... Can see him filling in at CB from time to time though. Definitely not a fantasy option for me though, almost certain that he'll be classified as a mid...

      Probably defensive mid, in for NDJ.

        So that makes the transfer of rodwell to city pointless then. Idiot boy, Rodwell.

      Most likely DM but if he will use the 3-5-2 formation then he can put Garcia in as the ball carrying defender or sweeper.

    Only 2:37 and so much going on already. Moutinho to spurs is a great signing, a tad expensive, but a great signing none the less. Bastos to Fulham will be good aswell
