Goals are the lifeblood of our Fantasy lineup and the quest for goalscorers is, of course, a major factor in our selections on a weekly basis.

While several players have already shown their prowess in this area with two goals to their name, the statistical data available to our Members, and in particular the ICT Index, enables us to spot and monitor those who are yet to make their mark but are, nonetheless, finding themselves in goalscoring positions and posing a key threat to the opposition.

In this latest Members article, we take a look at the top players amongst midfielders and forwards in terms of the current “Threat†score within our ICT Index, identifying those players who have so far delivered on their promise, and those which seem likely to find the net in the near future.

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

    Just checked out clean sheet odds for this weekend (betfair)

    Seems will have to start simpson newcastle about 2.80 for clean sheet while man c a whopping 4.00 (good value bet i think)

    Liverpool 2.20
    Sunderland 4.00
    Man c 4
    Wolves 5

    Have to toss up between kompany and Wes brown as third ddefender , whats the verdict?

      Hhhmm, just asked that on last page...

      I'm going with Baines + Simpson +?

      BK/Senderos/Brown are my options. Might take punt on BK then.

    I'm still not 100%, but provisionally I've got Torres as captain. The arrival of a creative midfielder in the Mata mould could just give him the spark he needs.

I just don't think Nani is as effective as he was last year so sooner or later he'll have to go anyway. Torres is also on my transfer watch list too. 🙂

      Why do you have 3 Newcastle defenders? Worst knee jerk decision I've seen for a while. If Newcastle don't keep a clean sheet (which will be most weeks) you'll be in trouble. Having all your eggs in one basket leads to FPL disaster.

          Agree, Downing has put some good crosses in and Carroll hasn't been far off putting them away- a matter of time I'd suggest.

          He has also had a couple of decent efforts, well struck but just off target, again possibly just a matter of time.

      I WC'ed this week (Im always going off early!!) to get some stability for the season and not fall behind in the race for points by "waiting" - that meant bring in the monkey and Silva and Yaya although I may bin Yaya once I have a look at Mata who may offer a more attacking option than Yaya - seems to me there is little current form up front for the Blues at the moment.

      FYI and comment

    Ok. Time for some quality chat. Here's a good article speculating on Mata's possi: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/14618068.stm

    Could threaten Malouda on the left; could play behind front striker or could play on the right.

    Those of us who played the U21 game in the summer know all about this boy. I'd say we have a very decent ff player here, boys 😉

        He was 10 mill in the ultra-expensive U21 game but then he was a man amongst boys.

        I would expect 10 mill in FPL as well if you put him on a par with Nani and VDV. Anything less, then he's a Suarez-like steal 😉

      Not touching Mata until he is nailed on. Chelsea are too deep and AVB is still feeling his way through the team. he will be priced too high imo to fret over whether he will play or not every week..

      Way too much money on TO and defence.

      Think you'd need to wildcard to sort that out. Most of the money you'd want to free up to improve your midfield is locked up in £6m defenders.

          Cheers for the feedback guys, I did think losing 8 points was a bit silly this early on.

          The reasoning behind the keepers was to have them rotate and they were only 5m each which is no different (and in fact cheaper) to having say Hart at 7m and a keeper at say 4.5m

          Not sure over Everton's fixtures though (Blackburn away and Villa at home) plus Cahill looks an injury risk for this week and I'm not sure I can spare the 8m for Baines when the midfield is a bit light.

          Might give Torres one more week now Mata has arrived.

    Random advice for people:

    If you've had a crappy week it's probably best holding onto the likes of Torres etc as they're your only chance of catching up, sure it's a gamble but where will having the same team as the guys already above you get you?

    Play the long game, so many teams based around the first two weeks - it's two weeks out of 38! Is Ryan Taylor really going to play 90 mins, keep a clean sheet and score every game? I doubt it - don't make him the centre piece of your defence along with Simpson and Krul, it'll bite you in the ass when they concede 5 goals to Wigan.

    Stay calm, don't do those transfers until the last minute, you never know what injuries are around the corner.

    Keep a playing subs bench - some weeks, like this one, you'll score big with them and curse yourself. Well don't beat yourself up, that's a good thing! It means you have a rotatable squad - sure people who played their 4 mil defenders this week may have done well but it's not because they're tactical geniuses, they got lucky, long term play the smarter game.

    Don't hold on to dead horses too long - I kept Shevchenko for about 10 weeks leading my attack a few years back - big mistake! Like I said though, we're two weeks in, we're not at that stage yet. If you've got the likes of Torres/Lampard/VDV etc in your team it's probably worth holding on for now - they'll come good at some point. If you're worried then simply don't captain them.

    Pick a "safe" captain. Sure you could captain Maxi Rodriguez in the hope he comes in and grabs one of his hat-tricks but it's a long shot. Far better to pick someone who's the main man at a decent club (Silva/Suarez/Rooney etc are probably the stand-out safe bets at present).

    So many RMT's full of the people at the top of the transfer lists - newsflash, go back to that in 6 weeks time and it won't be the same! Pick quality and class over early blips, star players in the best teams or the "big fish in the small pond" is better than the guy who usually sits on the subs bench for a season but got lucky with injuries and a lucky goal, he's probably bench-fodder for a reason (hell I had Benayoun in the first week because I thought he might be rewarded for his pre-season brilliance, how wrong I was!)

    It's a frustrating game, we all have good and bad seasons, the one's I've done best in are ones where I've been sensible, calculated and patient. Rash decisions and 4 point hits/early wildcard use can cost you in the long-term - my two worst seasons are where I refused to put Ronaldo in after the World Cup incident while everyone else had him scoring 240+ and last season when I tried to play every fantasy game going. Focus, keep calm, be sensible and you'll probably have a much better score at the end of the season.

            Ha, no i actually brought him IN for holt. Trust me if i had the spare cash laying around Suarez will be coming in.

            As i have said before i am choosing to stick with Torres and cry into a pillow at night.

                  Sensible strategy seems to be hold until NOR and then out for whoever at full tilt.

                  Unless miracles happen. It would take 4 goals to hold on to Torres.

      Baines, imo, only dman with the C

      Torres, Bent and Long are all better options imo.

    Morning folks,

    So, I posted that if Suarez played over 45 mins I would take the armband off him (and give it Lampard). He played 59 and had a very productive game.

    The question is: How many minutes would you bet on him playing against Bolton? How many minutes do you think a player of his nature needs to score/assist?

      Well from the looks of his current form the guy could sneeze and score a goal. If i had him i would play him.

            No standout captain choices this week IMO. Someone will score big, but it's all a bit risky. Even taking into account form and opposition,
