Our Members got the first round of ICT Index Data at the weekend, enabling them to assess the statistical performance of players across three crucial disciplines – Influence, Creativity and Threat.

Week by week we’ll be using this data to analyse teams and players in an attempt to aid Fantasy team selection. Our first article for Gameweek One turns the attention away from City’s sparkling 4-0 win over Swansea and looks to the reigning Champions, examining how Alex Ferguson’s men performed in their 2-1 win at West Brom and assessing the key performers on show ahead of their Monday night meeting with Spurs in Gameweek two.

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

    Way too much time to think about this

    Yaya, bos, given

    Tate, vdv, hilario?

    Cant he thinking vdv is fixture proof. Couple thqt with dodgy united defence and the favt that no one has vdv, what do you reckon?

    CFC TOM, cheers for your reply, but in this mini league we are not resetting scores back to 0, so does the new entry start off on 0 or keep his points from week 1?

      Keeps his points, mini leagues are just a way to compete with frends in an organised way, nobody gains an advantage over another player by not being in the league, so once you join you'll just go into the league as you are, points will be the same and you'll carry on as normal. You could join a mini league in GW37 and win it.

    Evening guys. Probably going to go with the following team this GW unless someone can convince me otherwise.

    Given (Vorm)

    Kompany / Bosingwa / Senderos (Enrique/Simpson)

    Sess / Silva / Moses / Young (Taraabt)

    Saha / Bent / Torres

    As long as Saha doesn't break, I think he maybe a good shout for Everton's decent run. Any thoughts about my team appreciated.

      If you have to stick with that team, I'd advise playing Taraabt and having Moses on the bench, thats all. I'd sub Taraabt for Larsson or Ramsey personally and still have Moses on the bench if it were me but the choice is yours. Bent is a question mark for me until the service arives, Saha is good when fit but thats a risk, and I wont get Torres as I want him to score so much. Not convinced by Sessegnon either but that doesn't matter and Richards is better shout short term than Kompany as he has better goal/assist potential. Good GK combo but I would avoid having so much $$$ on the bench. Its a waste.

      Personally I'd lose Saha the following GW. Wingie up against the Stoke defence will be a tough nut to crack even though their at home. Rest of it looks good though. I'm probably going to do Torres > Aguero too.
