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.

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

        Not Granville, but I have three dodgy forwards so i think I'll keep RVp and dump one of Lukaku or Berbatov for Sturridge.

        I have RVP + Lukaku to sell for the final game that's it.

        Thoughts on Hazard (h) to Everton? I don't see alot of points from him in that game.

          If you can get a 3rd striker in with a great fixture for the final game to play instead of Hazard I would.

          Everton been really tight away from home, and at home as of late.

      If there's one team more on an early holiday than United, it's Swansea.

      United will want a win before celebrating the title, think he could be good for a couple at the weekend. No chance of switching him out for Sturridge in the final match though? QPR home difficult to resist.

            what do you think of he chances Sissoko will be back to face QPR? I am thinking the win is too important for Newcastle to give Sissoko an extended rest. FPL rate sissoko as having 75% chance.

        Slit the skin of a banana lengthways and stick in 2 or 3 squares of Dairy Milk. Wrap the banana in tin foil and throw on the barbie.

    My back has a dilemna, if Kompnay plays both matches I have a strong back 3 for both of the last gameweeks but if he doesn’t play one I will have a blank defender. The problem is is it worth wasting a transfer to get a defender in who mightn’t even play!?

          Get another keeper in then I reckon. If DDG doesn't play again you'll recover the 4 points if you had to take a hit.

      If you don't have a 2nd playing keeper, then a transfer to Hart could be worth it. Nailed on and seems on for clean sheets against Reading and Norwich.
