In our second members article of the week, we turn to our own ICT Index for inspiration. Assessing player performance for Influence, Creativity and Threat in accordance with the relevant Opta statistics, we create a Members table in order to analyse the top-scoring midfielders over the last four Gameweeks:
Pretty clear what the new twist in the ScoutCast will be. Video version. Pretty sure.
Open Controls- Open Controls
Yeah, that is sad.
Arsenal should sign him IMO, if they don't tick the over-30-striker box with RvP. I think he'd fit in well.Open Controls
Play A or B this week?
A). A.Johnson - Tottenham (A)
B). Lallana - Man City (A)Open Controlsi think mark and granville should manage their joint fpl side as an article not as a 20 second jobby late in the scoutcast... and the scoutcast is getting quite long
would also like to see the scout picks given a total score each week after the games have been played... they could easily have a dummy side where they just make all the xfers they want...Open ControlsThey'll be giving it too much coverage with a whole article. Not a good idea when what they're doing is against the rules.
Open ControlsThey would need to take a lot of hits unless they stuck to the same core players. Not being able to double up in the same position is a big hump to overcome.
Open Controls
Never trust me with a 50/50 decision
So far
Mutch or Noone? Noone
Ward or Moxey? Moxey
Terry, Ivanovic, or Cahill? Cahill
Ox or Rosicky? Ox
Mannone or MacGregor? The one that got sent off twice and ruled out for the season with kidney damageOpen ControlsI remember early season when your Arsenal blood was convincing you to ignore their defence 😀
Open Controlsmy arsenal blood still does.. arsenal's fixtures look terrific here on out (post eve) but still:D
Open ControlsIt's strange, I still think of them as fragile despite the generally solid season
Open Controlsso do we all.. when they play the big clubs they go to poo..... they change tactics and decide to play a high line against good pacey players.... who knows why. Guess AW forgets how slow mr mert is
Open ControlsThink it's the lack of pressure on the opposition players when we lose the ball. The bigger teams punish us a lot more.
Open Controlsthis and your point below make sense, but also our heads drop when we concede first... if we score first we rarely slip up against any team
Open Controls
It's simply because when their defence does go wrong, it goes wrong in style.
Maybe I expected too much from them, they have been fairly reliable against smaller teams.Open Controls
That's been a mixed story that one. 😆
Open Controls
i doubt if swansea will be shut out tbh.
Open Controls
Martinez: "That mentality has to extend to everyone; other clever players like Kevin Mirallas, Aiden McGeady and Leon Osman at certain times."
Leon Osman is the only one that gets "at certain times" 😆Open Controlsonly chelsea coverage in azpi is probs going to burn... come JM be a good lad and rest haz for your big game tuesday 😀
Open ControlsEriksen or Puncheon for Barkley??
Open ControlsA good few punts for me this week:
Marshall
Coleman Zabaleta Alonso (Vlaar Shaw)
Silva Mata Adam Noone (Mirallas)
Suarez(c) Sturridge Rooney(v)Open Controlsyes looks just the right mix of punt and assurity.
Open ControlsMy only real concern is no Hazard. I feel Chelsea Stoke will be a belter, 4-3 either way
Open Controlsmine too... i have no haz and am praying mour rests with psg in mind haha....
i am comforted by haz blanking 7/11 and hoping lamps starts to remove his pens if he does play...
considering schurlle but cant justify it.Open Controls
haven't seen a team without Yaya and Hazard in a long time....there may be a good reason for that.
Open ControlsNever had Yaya. Silva done me proud since the blanks, only 6 behind Yaya.
Hazard left for Mata in the doubles. Risky, so far its workingOpen Controls
Show these to united lads before bayern match and hope for a miracle #believe 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sODWrEHPZFYOpen Controlsso epicfair... at what rank do you have to be to say actually your season has been an epicsuccess?
Open Controlsfail 😀
Open ControlsFlair 😎
As long as I win my main mini league I'm happy. In terms of OR I wouldn't call it a success unless I'm in the top 1000, which I won't be this year. Top 10k is reasonable but not a success.Open ControlsWell good luck with that next season, i think its pretty darn good but then i am at the low of 26k 😀
Open Controls
Eriksen and Demichellis
Or
Shaw (sou) and Mirallas?Open Controlswhat if mark rage quitted and deleted the site
Open Controlsa mod could start it up again for us? ;D
Open ControlsI have a very good alternative which is much more interactive than this one. 🙂
Dont know if publicity is allowed, so i wont paste a link here.Open Controlsintrigued 😀
Open ControlsOKAY WHAT THE HELL HERE IT IS

Open Controlsthe layout to this is better ;D

Mark out. Butters in!
Open Controls
Hey guys
I'm nervous barkley wont start and I only have distin, adam and faye as backup...
Do I...
A. Adam -> 7.2 mid + -4 hit
B. Barkley -> 6.2 mid + -4 hit
C. Distin -> 6.9 def + -4 hit
Or just wait it outOpen Controlswait it out... he was rated touch and go.... you have able deputies especially in adam and distin
Open Controls
Any news on aguero? Shoukd I be acquiring him next week for doublw gw?
Open ControlsI am. Tweets suggest he may even start this weekend
Open Controlsreally? i thought he wasnt going to be rushed back ?
Open ControlsI saw something suggesting he would play. Manchester paper or something. Don't hold me to it!
Open Controlsi guess we will find out more tomorrow 😀 (well later today)
Open Controls
Kun says he doesn't wanna rush things. But if he's picked he's picked.
Open ControlsYeah sorry, wasn't a tweet, was an article posted on here yesterday
Open Controls
Whose tweets?
Open Controls
@EPICFAwhich is your main minileague?
Im guessing 0121....Open ControlsIs my starting 11 too template?
Marshmellow
Goalman - Azpi - Olsson
Haz - YYT - Gerry - AJ
SaS - Lukaku
Why have we stopped calling Lukaku = D2.0? (Those who are new, it means drogba 2.0)Open ControlsSlightly but it will be alright on the night.
Open ControlsIt's business end of the season. Most teams are fairly template. To be honest. What with the DGW, it's hard not to have pretty much the same teams. 3 city, 3 Everton, Suarez, Sturridge and Hazard and usually Mannone. That's 10 players right there.
Open Controls
Evening all,
Article makes it pretty clear that Gerrards chances are only coming from pens and free kicks, granted he is good at both though so obv a good option, perhaps time to move him to Silva with a chance of less minutes this week though?
Also, who would you prefer to play this week, Snod or Lallana?Open ControlsI'd keep and sell next week.
SnodOpen ControlsThanks, sounds about right on both (hopefully anyway)
Open Controls
I don't believe the game will change for Gerrard. Suarez and Sterling will still make runs into the box, ready to fall over if need be. LFC on a charge, want to smash-n-grab the title, and they believe they can do it.
There is only 1 thing in the way of Stevie leading the way: he's on 9 yellows.
I say the sooner he gets booked, the better. For the title hopes, and for FPL.Open Controls
I'm thinking 433 for the dgw
mannone
baines coleman zaba/demi/cheslea defender ward
yaya haz AJ
Suarez Lukaku Sturridge/Dzeko/Aguero
anyone else thinking similar?Open ControlsSame as Messi's Boxers. 4-3-3 out of necessity I think
Mannone/Boruc
Coleman Baines Azpi Dann
Hazard SIlva Nasri
Suarez Lukaku Aguero
If I get Dzeko over Aguero though I will be going 3-4-3Open Controls
i think his name is carrick deserves more mata....
he said something interesting to me yesterday it was along the lines of this:
Gerrard might not play as he may be rested for city, to ensure he does not get his 10th YC and rule him out of the city game...
do we think this is a possibility?Open ControlsPossible but slim. Every game is a cup final
Open Controlsthis is also true... for this reason that ./. from chelsea wont get rested and rooney probs will ;d (sarcastic smile)
Open Controls
I've said it often enough, no game is a certain win. It would be foolish to bench Gerrard simply cos of the yellow cards thing. They need to win every game.
Open Controlsi agree with this... lets hope BR is as logical as you or lmb.
Open Controls
1ft to sell the injured Sissoko and sort out my midfield.
*Marshall - Mannone
*Coleman - Ivanovic - *Ward - Fonte - *Zabaleta
Gerrard - Hazard - *Y.Toure - Lallana - ???
Suarez - Sturridge - *Lukaku
I have 6 DGW player now and consider 1-2 more from City & Everton next week.
For this week, who to buy?
A: Mutch .. Not DGW but hot asset.
B: Eriksen .. Class, but Spurs in good shape?
C: AJ .. DGW, but starting still doubtful.
D: Any Everton mid is interesting? 6.5m to spend.Open ControlsI'd suggest saving. Next week get Ramsey
Open Controls
@blsoebadger.... live by the sword... (azpi)
Open ControlsWhy are you ditching him Whits? No one else to get rid of?
Open Controlsnot 100%
thinking
evra - baines
gerrard - silva
britton - puncheon
azpi - city def
those are my options haha.Open ControlsGerrard to Silva looks a good move in my opinion. Evra to Baines too.Azpi to City def. Certainly not this week.
Open Controls
How do people feel about Benteke being out for the WC? I thought Belgium was a dark horse before his injury.
Open Controlsi guess it was just unluky romelu will deputise well i am sure.
Open ControlsLukaku can fill in his boots easily and is having a better season. So it will probably work out pretty well.
Belgium still the dark horse, literally, with Lukaku. Oops.
Still buying the Belgium kit 😀Open Controlshaha you are saying some risque comments tonight ;0
Open Controls
I think most genuine footy fans would have liked to have seen an injury free Belgium team...
Open Controlsagreed. When did Benteke get injured? Only yesterday someone was posting about getting him in and captaining him.
Open Controls
So, how many minutes does Aguero need to play this week to be viable for GW 34 in your mind? I suspect my personal threshold is around 30 minutes.
Open Controlsat least 100.
Open Controls+1 😉
Open Controls
If he's on the bench at all,I think he's reason to think about getting. I think it's pick your battles time for him and Liverpool will be the main match. If city are winning well, I wouldn't be too bothered if he didnt come on at all.
Open Controls
Best Nolan replacement to get this week?
A) AJ
B) Eriksen
C) Mirallas
D) Have I missed anyone?
Obviously concerns over A and C losing their place in team recently, although both have doubles coming upOpen ControlsShould I finally bite the bullet and get rid of Kolorov?
Open Controlsi am not this week
they usually rotate - but clichy plays the big games
i think he should play this... if not i have ward/ chester to deputise.
but ill be making a sideway move to city/eve def with him out next weekOpen Controls
I have enough money to buy one kit for World Cup. Which one to buy?
Im not associated with any of the countries. But:
1. My girlfriend is in US. 😯
2. I like Premier League, so probably England.
3. Brazil's kit is nice. 🙂Open Controlswhat team(s) will you be supporting/rooting for during the World Cup?
Open ControlsI just dont know. Ill watch it for the sake of football, but my preference will always be England and Belgium i guess.
Open Controls
where are you from haha?
1) Not usa,
2) 33% of players in bpl are english the rest arent
3) yes it is ;d
i would go 2 as i am english but hey ho. £90 is a lot mind,Open ControlsI would go Belguim. Nice neutral team most people seem to like. If you like Brazil's kit, why not get that?
Open Controls
I don't understand all the Aguero love.... Coming back from an injury. He was rushed back last time and got injured again, and Pellegrini will be very cautious with Aguero's game time. How on earth is Aguero a better prospect than Zab, Demi, Nasri or even Fernandinho for Gwk34!
Open ControlsDefinitely better than Fernandinho. He gets max 2 chances in the game and both are from out of the box, which he shoots like he wants to send the ball where Ramos sent it with that penalty last year. Now i know Fernandinho and YYT both look same, but YYT's skill out of the box in taking shots is way better.
Open ControlsI don't get it either, but don't knock it. 20 mins in one and out for the next. I might catch up a bit.
Open Controls100% agree
Open Controls
playing fifa... into the world cup final with england..... v france 😀
Open Controlsno fifa 14 lol
