The Big Numbers – Gameweek 23

Joe Cole tops our ICT Index for the Gameweek so far, following his equalising goal and eye-catching display in the Hammers’ draw with QPR. With David Silva ranked second and West Brom’s Peter Odemwingie nestled in third, the weekend has seen a number of differentials put in strong statistical shifts.

Our members can, of course, get the full data behind the Index scores via our members area but, as always on a Sunday evening, we’ve compiled our guide to the figures that have turned our heads thus far in Gameweek 23…

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

    Would you rather:

    A - Sturridge + £3m

    B - Suarez

    It's gotta be A, right??

    Who will win?

    Me: Fellaini, Lambert, Walcott (C), Demel and Jussi
    Him: 11 points and Joe Cole

    I am hopeful.

    Is Suarez + Ba -> Aguero + Sturridge (-4) a good move or save transfer??? Team would then be:

    Begovic – Federici

    Gibbs – Jones – Davies – Demel – Clyne

    Bale – Mata – Walcott – Michu – Puncheon

    RVP – Aguero – Sturridge (1.1m in bank)

    I think Ba will start 2 of the next 3 games.

    Start: reading
    Benched: Newcastle (yep against his former club)
    Start: WIGAN (as Torres will start in Europe)

    So now thinking whether the reading + WIGAN games are enough to stick with for the next 3 games.

    Christina (and the rest of you) I can't decide what to do. I want to keep Steve G (on pens, he's awesome, and he's on pens) despite his terrible two fixtures coming up. But then I miss out on Michu, whom I want. Which meaaaans that if I don't keep Stevie G, I'm back to owning the Power 5 (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I guess...other than the fact that everyone wants that.) And I don't get a sweet differential like AJ as my 5th attacker. So I guess I'm down to 2 options:

    A) Power 5

    B) Gerrard+AJ

    Which one is it, fellow fantasy peeps? (and christina, if your'e on here still buddy.)

          well if you'll lose a lot of money getting him back then go with b. AJ has nice fixtures (I have Fletcher atm but looking at AJ GW26 when I sell him) Have you considered a different power 5 member over Gerrard for the next though?

      Neither, imo.

      Firstly, I think Liverpool have to hit a few more bumps before they settle, and you may find that he is not the man you want. Secondly, Michu is FAR more central to Swansea.

      A Johnson is someone you get in for double game weeks ...

      I would rather lose Suarez. RvP is expensive but he has shown he is worth it, so much consistency plus explosiveness. I think you can match Suarez's returns with Sturridge. You can not replicate RvP

    A scouser friend of mine tells me LFC are very close to signing Coutinho.

    Thoughts if it happens?

      They'll have quite a player. Left Vasco too soon, not fully developed...if anyone can bring out the beastly player in him it's Rodgers. Would be a hit.

      Seen him play a good few times. Can be very good but blows hot and cold. I can't see him bothering Suarez or Sturrige too much, more like Downing and Sterling seeing more rotation

        He is different class to Downing technically so agree. Could become a very potent front 3/4 at Pool

    Nastasic, Demel, Davies, Harte, Onuoha
    Bale. Mata, Walcott, Fellaini. Guthrie
    RVP, Aguero, Fletcher

    Do you guys think I should stick with this or downgrade Aguero and bolster defence?

      wow, maybe you should lose RvP.

      I all honesty I'd get a cheapie in for Silva and spend the 5 millionish saved upgrading ALF

    ok, there are a few people on here who's opinions I value, thoughts on the current wc draft

    Migs/Bunn

    Zaba, Evans, Fabio, Pearce, Davies

    Walcott, Mata, Fellaini, Michu, Guthrie

    RvP, Aguero, Fletcher

    0.5 in bank

    No Bale is a worry but I feel Theo and Mata offer more consistency with the same chance of explosiveness.

    'athevroy' thanks for your reply, I missed out replying to it. I actually agree- and that if we all have the same team it's pointless- but I need a bit of mainstream ness so I don't get killed every time an 'essentiL' scores , so I guess a balance is needed!
