West Brom’s Romelu Lukaku heads up our ICT Index rankings after a weekend of football, with Wigan’s Franco Di Santo an unlikely name to keep Robin Van Persie company in our top three. Our members can investigate these standings in full, digesting all the data from the weekend’s action. Big Numbers makes a return to pick out our take on the key statistics on show, together with an array of trends that have emerged over the past four Gameweeks…
I thought Sagna had a good game today. I got him in a couple of weeks ago purely on price and lots on here prefer Gibbs.
Might keep him on my WC, potential bargain if Arsenal can get a few cleanies.Open Controls
On a WC. A few questions here gentlemen. Cheers in advance!
1) Bale > Cazorla. Yes or No (Will have Walcott and Gibbs)
2) Bale or Silva after the DGW?
3) Which one of Mariappa/Pearce/Harte from RDG?Open Controls
Heard it's Inglorious Basterds in the slave trade. Sounds epic.
Open Controls
Watch on http://itheatr.es/ just finished good movie and also Flight worth a watch
Open Controls
Having just seen the manure spleenspool highlights, it's very hard to overlook Sturridge
Without him, they were awful. Should be nailed on to start the nextOpen Controls
Rvp not getting that assist cost him the 3 bonus I take it
Open ControlsPredictions on what Gibbs will score this week?
Open ControlsI was thinking more along the lines of 3
Open Controls
Anyone else pretty "meh" about the next dgw? Don't want the likes of Cazorla, Giroud etc long term.
Open Controls
The Chelsea DGW gave us so much options that next weeks dgwers kinda pale in comparison. Although carzola is like an explosive. Ticks away doing nothing for 3 or 4 game weeks then BOOM!
Open ControlsEven if he does explode this week, there are so many other better options than him long term so I'd only get him if I could WC straight afterwards.

How can it cost 69 points?

Keep Migs, and get Bunn.
Keep Clyne and Davies, get in a QPR boy and either Reading or West Ham
Up front, Fletcher and if you're not keeping Suarez then maybe Aguero. If not, maybe Dave, Remy or possibly even the boy RooneyOpen Controls
Jussi back in for the double.
Keep Mignolet or get Begovic/Cesar
Keep Davies
Get Demel for the double
Pick 2 fom Sturridge/Dzeko/Ba/Papiss or 1 + Lukaku
Find a way to get Theo in.
Gibbs for the doubleOpen Controls
Wow, you must be the first to get that?!!
Open Controls
Ba or Mata from long term perspective?
Open Controls
If Ba gets to start most games, he could be explosive in returns. I think it well be to-and-fro between him and Torres for starts until Rafa finally realises Torres is not the same player he managed at Liverpool and play Ba most of the times because he needs to win matches.
Open Controls
not a bad combo myself + my 4yr old son have going fpl wise...his team has just jumped inside the top 700..thought him everything i know 😉
Open Controls*Taut.....(again, said the actress to the bishop)
Open Controls
My 3 year old lost interest in his team after he dropped out of the cup
Open ControlsMy 9 month old is still in the cup 🙂
Open Controls
Optimus remember the gf team I mentioned? Just jumped to 9k with score of 72.
Open Controls*was
Open Controls
haha....i should start fpl team for my son next year then !
Open Controls
Telepathic? 🙂
Open ControlsSounds like there's a group of really promising young managers coming through the ranks.
Open Controls
Ruiz had one cleared off the line. How frustating!!!
Open ControlsKatie, nice one in your Swansea predictions when I asked about benching michu. They all came true: Swansea didn't score (so I wasn't punished by taking the risk of benching michu), they played for a 0-0, they started Rangel at right midfield........ the kicker is that they actually kept the CS and I got punished for benching Davies 😆 😆
So, do you reckon Swans' tight defending will continue? Should I be cautious about owning michu for now if it's true they're focusing on the cups?Open ControlsInteresting.....
Open ControlsWith so may good options now people are trying to justify getting rid of Michu. Just leave the man alone. He is a OOP, reasonably priced, goal machine and will punish anyone who sells him
Open ControlsYes I know his pros, otherwise I wouldn't have any doubt in my mind. But person is question a Swans fan with some good knowledge of their club, as seen from the predictions above (based on what Laudrup said to local media). No one wants to avoid michu because they inexplicably dislike him, just trying to stay one step ahead - which is what michu owners were when they had him early.
Open Controls
Well his recent Prem run is 2 8 3 0 2 2 tbf.
Open Controls
Fellaini's (his competition in many people's decision) is 2 2 0 0 0 5 6
Open Controls
Very interested to know that.. I'm hesitating about starting Davies next week
Open ControlsIronically if he were starting away I would be even more sure of starting him because Swansea away defending has been absolutely superb. But home to stoke is a bit of a gimme. You would need some seriously special third defender not to start him for that.
Open ControlsI got Demel and Gibbs aon double gameweeks and Zabaleta at home against Fulham :\
Open Controls
She's feeding her pony, The Pats are on 😉
Open ControlsHa, she should sort out her priorities 😆
Open Controls
Who do I drop for Walcott? Bale or Mata? Such a tough choice but got to side with Bale. Will prob get him back the week after.
Open ControlsI think I should wait until after the midweek gaame though in case something happens to Mata, depsite Walcotts rise.
Open Controls
Bale will get lost of space against ManU. he will get his goal(s)
Mata also will defo score. both good options for nxt week. drop some one elseOpen ControlsI can't 🙁 and even then would have to be Fellani or Michu AND take a hit. Just got to hope I make the right choice.
Open Controls
Evening, lads. What's the color - green or red?
Open ControlsGreen but could all change on Wed
Open Controls
Red with 54 points
Open ControlsGreen, with a 79 and 6 to play. Glad of it after 2 reds
Open Controls
Open ControlsGreat score, mate
Open Controls
Looks to be mostly green for the FFS'ers
Open ControlsI've been stuck at these lights for two months.
Open ControlsPepin, I see it's
Me: Azpili, Clyne & Punch + 6pts vs You: Ba.
Hmmm....Open ControlsI didn't even realize I've got you this week in La Liga. Easy win for me, I reckon.
Open Controls
Red so far 🙁
Benched Walcott and played Puncheon though so that's worked out well. Michu didn't do much either 🙂Open ControlsI wish I hadn't benched Pog for Michu, but sounded like the right decision. Friday night had a look at Pog's stats and they were atrocious...3 goals on the trot now 😉
Open Controls
Green. Still a terrible rank though 😐
Open ControlsHey Gimli. I read your post the other night about your future plans.
Big congrats!Open Controls
Tempted to play 4-5-1 for the first time in my FPL history next week.
Jaask
Clichy, O'Brien, Luiz, Gibbs (Clyne)
Mata, Walcott, Nolan, Bale, Sterling
RVP (Berba, Benteke)
0 FT's, would you change the line up, maybe take a -4 to get a decent 1 week punt striker out there (will be wildcarding next week)Open ControlsHi Spike. Has O Brien been ruled out? No tweets on home page. Have I missed one?
Open Controls
possibly 1 of the worst teams ive seen on here..
well done
lots of holesOpen Controls
dear all,
so far had some top replies re wether i should wildcard- 2-1 for yes but still genuinly have no real idea- know that walcott price is rising and I do have my other wildcard left. However one of you make the astute point tht can have time to see how sturridge affects suarez on the ba situation. Anybody else got any helpeful constructive advice on what they might do if faced with my predicament?Open Controls
I'd hold off for a while, personally. Gives you time to see how Sturridge fits in and with snow forecast tomorrow, it could (and I repeat could) be the start of a cold spell. Or even snowmageddon.
Open Controls
Liklihood of the following rising this week:
Pogrebnyak
Michu
Looks like it could be touch and go for both.Trying to decide whether to w/c now or after the DGW.Open ControlsJust read a few pages back and saw a lot of people debating which one of Bale or Mata to drop...:shock:
Open Controlsbut picking a 2nd striker to make it happen is a ball ache. Sturridge has put a big ❓ over Suarez, Aguero is too expensive, Tevez and Ba are rotation risks. Right now I'm looking at Cisse/Remy, Fletcher or Lambert
Open Controls
GW24:
Begovic, Bunn
Baines, Harte, Wilson, Demel, Turner
Bale, Mata, Walcott, Michu, Fellaini
RVP, Kun, Pog
BoomOpen Controlswish I could afford that, but your tv is much higher than mine. If I get the power 5 and Kun I have 5.8 for my big defender, so I guess it's Gibbs, Evans or Nasty
Open Controls
+5
That's what I wanted, no transfer worries, no benching worries, easy sailing, capt'n 😉Open Controls
Reading comments that Sagna had a good game today.
He was by far the worst player on the pitch imo, he made about 7/8 of Cazorla's passes look misplaced as he was not anticipating/looking for the pass.
There was several opportunities for him to get in behind and he looked too gassed/disinterested to show for the pass.
I'd chuck him out the door if I was Wenger (Unless he is carrying an injury we don't know about).
As an fpl prospect - DGW or not, I'd rather saw off my balls with a rusty breadknife.Open ControlsWow. I actually thought he was pretty good! 32 years of watching football must have made my brain go fuzzy.
Or maybe just because I own him means I was looking for the positives.Open ControlsProbably the latter! did you not notice the amount of times he got it out wide and had to stretch to receive the pass or the amount of times he was bypassed in the build up in the last 20 mins. He looks spent to me, maybe he is just unfit but there's defo something not right, I reckon he just wants out.
Open Controls
I thought Gibbs was outstanding today, defensively. The stole / intercepted a lot of ball, his positioning was great. He is a great prospect. Playing with 10 men limited his chances to bomb forward.
But yes, I agree, Sagna was borderline atrocious. He is in really poor form.Open Controls
anyone considering Milner? may get a run of games with Yaya gone for a while?
Open Controls
Sinclair was warming up to come on before Kompany got a red. He could steal time from Milner. Don't know what Nasri's story is either
Open Controls
Mata or Bale --> Walcott for the dgw
Why? Team is linked.
Thinking Bale at the momentOpen ControlsSame dilemma and I am torn as what to do. Man Utd concede a lot but Mata seems undroppable. Only an injuy to him makes the decision easy.
Open Controls
Great run of green arrows you got there.
I'd swap Bale. Rafael may be torn up by Bale but the rest of Utd's defence is looking pretty strong. Arsenal may or may not turn up, so for that reason I'd go for Mata.Open ControlsThanks I'm on a good run... you answered the question twice. I'd dropping Bale --> Walcott and will buy him back for Norwich onwards
Open Controls
Puncheon and Berba
Or form the big 5 and Fellaini and Pogs?Open Controls
A crappy score but i've secured the two H2H wins. I feel dirty 🙂
Open Controls
already got jaask, demel j cole, walcott and gibbs...........bring in podolski or santi or am i over egging the DGW pie a bit????
wat do ya think peeps???Open ControlsJust a little bit
Open Controls
Need a new cheap midfielder, due to a bad assesment of my budget on my wildcard. Up to 5.5 preferably dirt cheap. Need to bring him in this week or the next, need to play him on gw 23 and 25 at least. Current options are:
Maloney
Noble
Marveaux
Thoughts?Open Controls
Benteke out, Lukaku in. I like the sound of it myself 😀
Open ControlsNope. I took out O'Brien for Collins last week on my WC and now he's crocked too 😀 Gotta laugh
