The Weekend Team News

by Mark on October 24

The team news section has been updated with the usual splattering of early speculation and fact – including injury scares for the likes of Agbonlahor, Traore, Rio Ferdinand and Robbie Keane.

As usual, you can expect this to be updated later today and again this evening, as more details from the pre-match press conferences roll in. For now, click here for all the early talk.

What should my starting team be, and who captain?
Schwarzer (Reina)
Clichy Garrido Johnson Bosingwa (Figueroa)
Lampard Young SWP Geovanni (Arteta)
Defoe(C) Zaki (Yakubu)

0.8 in bank

i want a more balanced side; here’s my plan after this weekend:

Ron for Lamp
Ethering for Delap
SWP for Kranjar
Zam for Roo

0.2 in the bank.

job done.

Burton October 24 at 5:37 pm

Which direction do those changes go in? Is it-

a) Ronaldo in for Lampard? Or-
b) Ronaldo out for Lampard?

Either way, balanced, shmalanced. Get both Lampard and Ronaldo.

denial October 24 at 5:40 pm

sorry – ron out for lamp etc.

yeah, i’ve been messing around with options for Lamp and Ron…something about having both of them seems quite limiting in other areas of the squad, but maybe you’re right Burton.

Burton October 24 at 6:14 pm

At the moment I’ve got the following-

Cech – (Schwarzer)
Bosingwa – Evra – Laursen – Traore – Figueroa
Ronaldo – Lampard – Nasri – Ireland – Delap
Berbatov – Zaki – Miller

I don’t think thats limited, and I have a decent chance of my subs contributing if they’re needed.

Regarding your original question- Your transfers look good, but not in one week, surely? There’s 3 gamesweeks in the next 9 days, play it according to the fixtures, one at a time I reckon.

Also, to get away with dropping Ron you’ll need to be on the money with your captaining.

Fabtastic October 24 at 6:44 pm

I fancy Miller to score this week. I think West Brom will burst Hull’s bubble this weekend. I think Mowbray will partern Bednar and Mille up front.

Will October 24 at 5:39 pm

Kranjar isn’t fit for another 2-3 wks is he?

Timbo October 24 at 6:19 pm

He may return shortly, but probably not for a few gameweeks as they come thick and fast. Definitely one to keep an eye one as he’s cheap.

X-Ray Dog October 24 at 5:42 pm

Neville or Brown? Who will fergie pick?

Leighton October 24 at 7:35 pm

Neville for me – will wait for the 11.15 teamsheet before putting him (or Brown) in my team. Problem is who will start on Wednesday?

Ameibi's Underpants October 24 at 5:43 pm

I cannot understand why none of you “experts” have not mentioned Osman. He will score a bucket of points once the ManU match is out of the way.

Groan October 24 at 5:48 pm

DO it yourself.

denial October 24 at 5:50 pm

Osman

D BROWN October 24 at 6:24 pm

Who for el capitaine ? Ireland or Ronaldo ??????

shankly boys October 24 at 6:35 pm

This weeks top tip lads and lassies….
Jermaine Defoe. The lads due a few goals and this could be the week.
Blame me if I’m wrong…

Ronaldo Lover October 24 at 6:41 pm

Defoe for me too. How good are you at picking your captain each week? I’ve only had one low scoring captain and that was zaki when he only had a point!

shankly boys October 24 at 6:47 pm

Well done friend… I bury myself in as much information as possible then close my eyes and wait for a name to appear.
Did I mention the Friday night dram also…
Anyway… this week its Defoe…

ian October 24 at 8:25 pm

agoodguy October 25 at 8:26 am
