Gabby Agbonlahor and Bryan Ruiz are the unlikely names sitting on top of our ICT Index rankings in a Gameweek which, so far, has failed to live up to its billing. As usual, we guide our members through the key statistics from the weekend action, identifying the trends that are now just as likely to guide the pre-season watchlist as our decisions for the remaining matches this term.
Keep calm and captain me.

Quick poll, for next week:
Fellaini

Coutinho
I pick FellainiOpen ControlsGW37
RVP (h) to Swansea, Lukaku @ Norwich, Tevez @ Reading
GW38
RVP + Lukaku > Sturridge + Kone/Carroll
Tevez (h) to Norwich, Sturridge (h) to QPR, Kone/Carroll (h) to Villa/Reading
Do you like this Jackie Chan?Open Controls- Open Controls
Transfer options:
A) Rafael to someone
B) Tevez/Aguero to Sturridge
C) Maloney/Fellaini to Coutinho
D) Any better transfers I haven't considered (team linked)
Help appreciated, as always.Open Controlsa) Rafael has to go. Supended and worth some good money.
b) City fixtures are as good as if not better than Sturridge. Might aswell keep both.
c) One does not sell Maloney at this stage of the season.
d) Fellaini > Coutinho for the final day.Open Controls

Do you support Watford as well?Open Controls
He does. 🙂
Open ControlsYes!
A fellow Hornet 🙂Open ControlsThere are one or two, actually ... 🙂
Open ControlsWho else? I was wondering if AB went to the game on Saturday
Open Controls
haha don't worry todd, i noticed your support recently
Open ControlsDid you go on Saturday?
Open ControlsThat young keeper will be having nightmares. Who are your other keepers?
Open ControlsAlmunia and Bond. Almunia was injured in the warmup, so Bond played, who is very good. Then Peleon (d**khead) pushed Anya into Bond, and Bond got a serious injury and broken nose, meaning that Bonham came on for his debut. Poor kid, hope he doesn't have to play on Thursday
Open ControlsYeah he will be a bag of nerves if he has to play in those games.
Open Controlsi don't rate bond at all, acrobatically pushes away shots smashed straight at him to raptuous applause and conned pundits echo the applause, also often pushes these shots into dangerous areas rather than sideways away from danger, catches nothing, dodgy in possession, and dodgy from crosses. one for the cameras.
however it seems a broken nose is good news, i presumed he's broken his femur or something awful like that as i only saw contact on his lower body. may get to see him in a torres mask. feel a light bit of smypathy with the leeds player, that sort of nudge seems to happen several times a game, either on the touch line or other areas of the pitch, if you said to him "look, this keeper is about to be lying on the ground for 10 minutes" i'm sure he wouldn't have done it.Open Controlsalso thought loach was a liability when he was getting linked with premier league sides and he got an england call up
Open ControlsAgree with what you say about Loach. I do think Bond has made some saves recently that Almunia would not have made though. The thing about Peleon is that he celebrated the goal right in front of us afterwards, which was a tad unnecessary
Open Controlsyeah that celebration did some OTT.
i really think leeds should have been down to 10 men and a penalty early on, then the entire match is difference, the keeper inury never happens, deeney doesnt get sent off, watford get to hit leeds on the counter all day etcOpen Controls*seem OTT
Open Controls
Must have forwards for remaining of the season?
Open ControlsSturridge, Carroll, one of Tevez/Aguero (couldn't possibly predict which)
Open Controls
This, with Tevez.
Open Controls
Sturridge Aguero Kone
Open ControlsLuiz is smilingg 🙂
Open Controls
No one now.
RVP will rest
Defoe might not play all 3
Ba wont and is a clown
City strikers will rotate a bit
Arsenal strikers are sh!te
Everton strikers are sh!te
Others either nothing to play for or play for sh!te relegation battle sides
Sturrige might offer last day value
Total lottery from here in.
Could be punts like Chicarito are wise,but again, total gamblesOpen Controlsvery true...
Open Controls
Who do you think has offered most value this season fpl wise?
Open Controls4.0 M
that is value.Open Controls
Lambert
Open ControlsJussi or Lambert
Open Controls
Lamb/demel/jussi/michu(@6.5m)
Open Controls
michu/fellaini/jussi/bego/lambert/
Open ControlsNot really. I'm done. This was fun.
Open Controls
At 6.5m initial buying price, can't look past Michu.
Open ControlsLambert 5 points behind & was 6.0
Open Controls
NOT DEMEL.
Open ControlsMichu & Lambert
Open ControlsLambert at 6m & Michu at 6.5m
Open Controls
The correct answer is Jussi, followed by Lambert.
Open Controls(It says on the FPL transfer page 🙂 )
Open Controls
if you got him in gw14 benteke
Open ControlsMertesacker, if not a goalie ... 🙂
Open ControlsBale
Open Controls
Michu out coutinho or Maloney in?
Open ControlsCoutinho
Open ControlsMaloney has looked great recently.
Just hope he's still got enough in the tank after the F.A cup final to offer something at the Emirates.Open Controls
Scholes punt for next week? Last article suggests he'll start. Possibly his final home game for Utd, they'll be trying to set him up and maybe he'll take any penalties awarded.
Open ControlsStraws. Grasping ... 😆
Open Controls
Dear Doos
Stop saying I'm wrong when I'm not
I'm right about 43 not necessarily being enough to stay up and I was right about the medals rule yesterday
Kind RegardsOpen ControlsDon't be daft. Don't be sensitive. 😉
Open ControlsTrue but manners are important too
Open ControlsI agree. 🙂
Look at the combination of circumstances that would need to happen.
I speak as a Hammer who went down with 42 ...
The medals rule still holds, even though it is regularly subverted. I can't answer for the arseholes at the Premier League.Open Controls
Why stop punting at this stage of the season? 😀
Open Controls
I like it 😀
Open Controls
Allow for the YC deduction.
Open ControlsThese are the kind of punts that sound amazing in your head but crash and burn in real life 😀
Open Controls
Worth doubling up on the Arsenal defence for the final 2 (easy on paper) fixtures?
Can start a decent enough front 8 so no attacking transfer springs to mind.
Arsenal have only conceded 10 goals since January 23rd, including 6 CS's (!)Open ControlsList of relegation odds, makes interesting reading. Norwich bang in there now, http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/relegation
Open Controls
Any theories on how the total number of clean sheets progresses through the season?
Open ControlsColder months, more clean sheets.
Open ControlsThere seem to be far more clean sheets at the business end of the season when there is less to play for and players begin to tire.
Open ControlsI looked at it a bit last summer
Basically most club get 2 thirds of their cleans at home and 1 third away.
So, rotate cheap solid defences like Stoke, Wes Ham etc.
Don't dip into the sh!te defences at all though
And have1 big hitter to play all the time and swap them for similar big names based on form + fixturesOpen Controls
For next week:
DDG (Bunn)
Sagna Enrique Dawson (Harte Wilson)
Mata Narsri Bale Walcott (Michu)
Lambert Lukaku Tevez
What to do with my transfer?
A Michu > Coutinho,
B lambert > sturridge
C DDG > Someone
D Another change
E Save itOpen ControlsPlay Coutinho + Maloney and bench Lukaku this week?
