There were some unfamiliar names on top of the ICT Index this week, snuggled alongside the return to form of Carlos Tevez and Leighton Baines, while Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie again provided shifts to acquire another wave of Fantasy attention. The Members Area is packed with the latest data from the weekend’s games and our Big Numbers article has picked through the goodies to find the stats that caught our eye…

BPs predictions for this lot?
Jaask
Cuellar, Hughes, Baines,
Mata, Bale, Caz, Michu
RVP, Ba, BerbaOpen Controls
Evening lads!
Foster Begovic
Baines Jenkinson Saylor Cuellar Demel
Cazorla Bale Pienaar Michu Sterling
RVP Tevez Crouch
2FTs, 0.0 in bank.
Am I right in thinking Jenks and Saylor are my main problems? Any thoughts on the below?
A. Jenkinson > Sagna, Saylor > Cameron/Hughes
B. Jenkinson > Cameron/Hughes, keep Saylor.
C. Transfers in A and Cazorla > Mata (-4) (would need to do the Mata one tonight)
D. Any combination of the above or others?Open Controls
Is it as simple as Hazard and Mata will score around the same so the 0.9 I can make just makes sense?
Open Controls
I did that this week. I think so, but I really don't know so. I still prefer Haz...
Open Controls
I reckon i'll be getting Hazard as i think he's the better player and will score more points. Will that make him better value? Probably, although Mata is one hell of a players too. Could go either way. Do you have plans for that 0.9 saving or is it just gonna be banked?
Open ControlsTo ship Guthrie to Sterling so I'm playing with 15 again
Open Controls
Surely Ivanovic will be away for 3 games as he got a straight red. Translating into 2 league games since one of those 3 is a cup game.
Open ControlsI'm never 100% sure on this but i THOUGHT it was only a 3 game ban for violent conduct?
Open Controls
Yeah that's my take on it too
Open Controls
Only a 1 week ban for a professional foul.
Open Controls
1 game just the cup game and he's back next week

Another uber close week in my H2H - who do you reckon wins this one after BPs?
Me: Jaask, Baines, Cuellar, Hughes, Bale(c), Mata, Berbatov
Him: 1 points, Migs, McCartney, Rafael, Gallas, Fellaini, Cazorla, Yaya, SuarezOpen ControlsYou are going to need to start having a 9pm watershed if your grav gets any better

Mata is a must for me atm, in great form and capable of a big haul v anyone. Swansea away looks tough on paper, but remember Swans have just lost Vorm for 8 weeks. That is a HUGE loss. Ok he's not been quite on the level of last season, but he's still be pretty good. Not sure Tremmel is up to the job.
Open ControlsI got mata 2 weeks ago weighing the ol' form over fixtures and he's thanked me with 22 points so far 🙂
Swansea away is not a tough fixture for chelsea attackers with or without vorm even on paper imo.
Tremmel is quite good I gatherOpen ControlsSo, you mean that any Chelsea player might be worthwhile away to Swans? I think so too. It may be Mata, Haz or Oscar.... who knows? I don't think it's something to obsess on 🙂
Open ControlsMata is the one on form though
Open Controls
It feels so good having Mata in my team...and that free kick was simply sublime. Such a shame Chelsea went down to 9 as I think he had more in him today. Hazard is a tormentor but he's been very lucky with assists thus far. I think his assists come from mainly being a menace and winning free kicks/penalties. No doubt Hazard is going to rip it up this year but Mata being on set pieces and getting into these positions is just mouth watering from an FPL point of view.
Open ControlsI see Chelsea scoring big time away to Swansea. Fortress Swansea left with Rodgers, IMO.
Open ControlsI am getting Mata. His points will dry up like how they did with Baines when I got him in
Open Controls
Not convinced by the Morrison bandwagon...WBA's fixtures are pretty tough over the next while. Anyone want to enlighten me on why I should be more eager to get him in?
Open ControlsSOT, wig next 2. Take a look at the underlying stats. I'm hoping he'll see me through until Ramirez is back.
Open ControlsI would be happy to have him in my team...I just don't know whether I should be rushing to get him in. I can see him being a steady supplier of points but I'm not sure I'm in that much of a hurry to get him based on those 2 nice fixtures. Hmmm...
Open Controls
Nah
Open ControlsHe's sexy.
I have him and he's done me proud. I'll keep, but wouldn't necessarily get him in.... oh, but I would!!Open Controls
Up to 8k despite so many mistakes this season, should be a lot better..used my ft already..carzola out, Mata in..leaves me with..
Ruddy
Baines Rafael Gallas
Mata Hazard Sterling Fellaini

Look ok? Anyone think I need a hit?Open ControlsMata > Bale for a hit
Open Controls
Aguero to RVP for -4, is it worth it before next GW or should i wait to do it for free after that? Thanks
Open Controlsdo it for free next gw imo. Could go either way so probably shouldn't bet points on it
Open Controls
Will Bale rise .2 this week?
Open ControlsI'm very much wondering this too myself. If I was to ditch Caz for Bale then a selling profit would be nice so I could go back to Caz for better fixtures...Ah what am I doing here...this must be a knee-jerk right? :/

so is BAIRD a flash in the pan two weeks running?
Bandwagon starting already look like he is going up tonight to 4.5 - people switching him in for Wilson probably...
He can't keep doing it can he - did anyone see his two goals?
I can go up to 4.7 and am thinking Wilkinson, Cameron, Caulker, Wisdom, Baird or god help me Fonte...Open ControlsTwo goals from two corners...almost identical runs...got the touch at the near post...something they probably worked on in training. His OOPness is a bonus...but yes it could easily be 2 years before he scores again...god knows.
Open ControlsAh nice ok so they are on purpose then.
Looks like he is going up in price tonight ad the 0.1m is always useful.
I wonder if he is going to be a nailed on start though>?Open ControlsJust to mention...Baird is perhaps injured...so watch out for reports. He injured himself while celebrating!
He'd certainly deserve to keep his place right now...nailed on for good though? Tough to call.Open Controls
Its all part of the masterplan - lulling everyone into false sense of security. They are planning to not lose GW 17, then the gloves will be off.
Open Controls
What transfer(s) would you do to the below this week if Ba and/or Berbatov are ruled out this w/e?
Jaask, Federici
Baines, Cuellar, Hughes, McCartney, Clyne
Bale, Mata, Santi, Michu, Guthrie
RVP, Ba, Berbatov
Bank 0.0m, 1 freebieOpen ControlsI am hovering over CONFIRM TRANSFERS on Baird.
Just looking him up and seems Jol has him in midfield trying to replace Dempsey, as he can't afford to buy anyone.
Clearly he ain't Dempsey but for 4.4m (for tonight at least) he has to be worth a punt right?Open Controls
