Which stocks influence the ftse 100 the most?

If the Ftse 100 is stuck at resistance, which stocks should I watch that would indicate the beginning of a breakout?

I believe the FTSE is value-weighted, so watch the stocks with the highest market cap.

So, Vodaphone, bhp billiton, BP, Glaxo Smith Kline, British American Tobacco, Royal Dutch Shell. Any others?
