Another classy display from Santi Cazorla sees the Spaniard lead the way in this week’s ICT Index figures, holding off the charge from West Ham’s Andy Carroll and Sunday’s efforts from Luis Suarez. As always, our members are free to investigate all the Opta data from around this weekend’s matches in our members area. However, we’ve put in some leg work on their behalf, picking out the numbers that piqued our interest, whilst pointing out some statistical trends over the last four and six Gameweeks.
Seems as if I have two options for the night:
A) Continue playing career mode on Fifa with Rochdale
or
B) Start a new FM saveOpen Controls
B)
Then go and have a long shower to remove the dirt you've built up playing with that scumOpen Controls

Coutinho looking like a fantastic little player.
Open Controlsnot very, looks pretty safe as a keeper though
Open ControlsNot as good as Walcott, carzola, giroud, podolski, gervinho
Open Controls
Giroud is great at keeping the ball out of the net.
Open Controls
looks amazing for his pirce. podolski? ha really?
Open ControlsGoing forward he has scored far more goals than fabianski so is a better choice
Open Controlsyou obviously don't understand the context of the post. smart.
Open Controls
Fabianski has conceded a lot more than Podolski as well.
Open Controlspodolski is an over priced striker who plays in midfield now an again...please buy him....betters my league position
Open Controls
Next week 😉
Painful to see him hit the post today.Open Controls
Could have had 2 assists at least if suarez finished his chances
Open Controls
Re your earlier post on dgw players. I can muster 6 without a hit but it depends on Man U and Chelsea result tomorrow
Open Controlshe's a greedy git.

Sroobius - If you want a bit more of the flag showing:

Thanks but I like the current one. Looks like the flag is hanging in the background of a press conference.
Open ControlsYou're welcome. I posted a slightly neater one (my OCD kicked in when I realised the original one was messy round the edges) although at that size I guess no one but me will notice!:

Hey are you up for making me a grav too? Have been very busy, so haven't got any spare time. Anything with the Sri Lankan flag waving at the opposition faces will do. 😛
Open ControlsYeah, yours should be easy. Give me a link to the image in your current Grav and I'll stick a flag in the background.

Wigan Athletic defender Antolin Alcaraz has praised the efforts of his team following their 1-0 win over Norwich City on Saturday.
http://uk.soccerway.com/news/2013/March/31/alcaraz-praises-wigan-team-effort/Open ControlsI think they'll escape it yes. If they had Alcaraz fit all season, they'd be in a far more comfortable position.
Open Controls
+1. I'm definitely getting him or Figueroa in my Wc
Open Controlsand Ramis
Alcaraz, Ramis and Fig is their best back 3 IMO, Caldwell has made a lot of errors this seasonOpen Controls
i had ramis for a good spell earlier in season, think he looks like a good player, as does alcaraz. think robles is way into defence though, i'm looking at begovic to robles
Open Controls
still trying to get the Alcaraz bandwagon going? 😛
I'd take him if Robles wasn't so cheap as i don't fancy a double up on Wigan defence.Open ControlsI think I will. I'll only play Robles Gw 36 anyway probably
Open ControlsThe only reason I'm against it as that I kinda want Maloney and Kone, that only leaves one spot open. The only alternative to Kone that i can see might be Lukaku
Open ControlsI don't want to part with any of my forwards at the moment. It might be different come Gw36 though
Open ControlsQuite hppy to lose Remy after this week, I also realised today how much I hate owning Suarez, so I'm happy to part with him as well.
I also think there's no point in owning a DGW defender if you're not gonna play him.Open Controls
Boyce is where it's at.
I may have some emotional ties though.Open Controls
Just realised how massive QPR-Wigan next week is. QPR lose and their as good as gone
Open Controls
Lambert you beast.
Open Controls
I hate Lambert.
Open Controls
goals are his business and business is good
Open ControlsWhat are the chances he'll fade into mediocrity next season, like Grant Holt..?
Open Controls
RVP to Suarez? Y or N? Presume no double for Utd

Rafa Benitez said to have been dismissed by Chelsea. Interim manager being fired, a first, even for Chelsea surely!Open ControlsI can't see much else on twitter about this yet - seems odd Linekar would get it first.

i'd 5 players out this week,including mata and walcott, who i'm keeping. also had jenkinson (ok always a bit of a punt), harte (was nailed on) and ALF (ok should never really have had him).
any advice on who to ship first jenks / harte / ALF? will probably be part of a hit, so can afford someone maybe 1m more expensive.Open Controls😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯
Open ControlsRumours that Benitez is gone.
Open Controls
Time to get rid of Sturridge? If so, who's the best striker below 7.2 to bring in (preferably with a double). Looking at Berb but Newcastle away next week isn't the best fixture
Open Controls
why not? him or Remy i would say. Newcastle ain't great and will be playing after a trip to Portugal on Thurs.
Open Controls
@keep calm and sessegnon: if you hadn't had a problem with his appointment you wouln't try so hard to justify it.
Open Controls
I have many problems with people with fascist views. My gripe was that I just can't understand people who think people with certain views should not be allowed to work, in this example as a football manager, as this is exactly what a fascist view in itself might consist of! - That is, restricting the rights of individuals for their beliefs.
My argument strayed away from football in truth and has little relevance anymore to the Di Canio situation. Basically, football wise, I have no problem with his appointment and I am more confident of survival than I was 24 hours ago.Open Controlsi never said he shouldn't be allowed to work. i just think it's a disgrace for a team to appoint someone with such views.
btw respect to this guy:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21991812Open ControlsI think there are jobs out there where it would be a disgrace to appoint someone with such views, I just don't think football is one of these jobs. it's not a particularly moral game anyway. What it is, is a sport that is all about winning and being in the top league you can be.
As a fan, I am happy for us to acheive this success in any way we can. Staying up this year is particularly important due to the increased TV money coming in next year. His views don't affect his managerial ability (which is of course yet to be properly tested), but his ability is all I care about.Open Controls
benitez gone!
Open Controls"Javier will play against Chelsea on Monday because he's got a fantastic scoring record against them."
Open ControlsI think him not starting on Sat was a nod that he would start
Open Controls
The only source we have is Gary Linekar, the bloke who tweeted that RvP wasn't on the United team bus for a home game. Let's get something more reliable first lads.
Open ControlsHacking Gary Linkeker's twitter account

No confirmation on the Benitez sacking from any source of note.
Unclear where this story is coming from.Open ControlsLinekar. Its not even a good April Fools joke - Wenger resigning might have been a good one.

Is Robbie Savage drunk? I love his analysis of Rickie Lambert where he's just shouting random football manager attributes at footage of Lambert playing football! ''Composure, Awareness, Penalties, Awareness, Cleverness, Positioning, Vision, Composure!'' 😆

He arranged that clip especially for the segment too
