Olivier Giroud tops our ICT Index rankings for the Gameweek so far, courtesy of his contribution to Arsenal’s late show at the Emirates. In this week’s “Big Numbers” for members, we break down the Frenchman’s performance, whilst offering hope to those who placed the armband with Santi Cazorla. We also cast an eye on the numbers produced at the Britannia, as Wayne Rooney shifted to a midfield role, paving the way for Robin Van Perise to break his dry spell from the spot.

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

    Repost ,

    5 weeks to go now 🙁 ,
    So whose your Fantasy player of the year ?
    And biggest Dissapointment of the year ?

    For me Michu - because of his points delivery at a very cheap price - I know there's been a few quite periods but averaging it out the lad has done well.

    Tbh I'm dissapointed with Aguero I really thought he'd kick on from last year but IMO that's not been the case - injuries etc have hampered tho I do feel he could be the man for the run in.

      Fantasy player of the year = Fellaini. (Just on a personal level that is, got him and sold him at exact right times)

      Player of the year has to be Michu for value, but RVP, Suarez and Bale have delivered.

      I’ve had Aguero, Kagawa and Ba, all of which were big dissapointments… Dempsey, Nani and Valencia must be up there there too

      Not disappointed in these players, but the situations surrounding them: Yaya Toure, Assou Ekotto, and Adebayor.

              I do hope this does not happen and Pogatetz can get through 90 mins
              w/o a card.

            Obviously, but good thinking that you have hedged your bets.

    Another disastrous gameweek. No luck whatsoever. Stick or twist for next?

    DDG (Bunn)
    Clyne / Dawson / Sagna (Cameron / Harte)
    Fellaini / Cazorla / Michu / Hazard (Sissoko)
    RVP / Suarez / Berbatov

    Thanks for the advice!

    I remember someone yesterday posting about City rotation may be in affect when the double comes round as the final is close by. Does this put anyone off any of the City players at all?

    Not sure what to make of it myself.
