A hat-trick from Owen keeps Wolfsburg from the door for United but it doesn’t look likely to earn the World Cup hopeful a league start. Ferguson has reportedly confirmed that Rooney and Berbatov are fit for Villa’s visit this weekend.
Over at Stamford Bridge meanwhile, Apoel had the cheek to score a couple of goals. Essien stole their column inches however, first by scoring another 25-yard effort and then by limping off with a worrying hamstring injury…
United’s passage into the last sixteen was eased by Owen’s hat-trick – offering a timely nod to Capello. Nani laid on the first for Owen, his replacement Obertan provided the second with more impressive wing play. Owen helped himself to the third late on.
Ferguson’s lineup saw Carrick, Fletcher and Evra form a defensive trio in front of Kuszczak. It’s very unlikely that this will have a bearing on United’s next lineup in the league. As mentioned earlier in the week, Ferguson is still hopeful that both Vidic and Brown will make returns when Villa roll up to Old Trafford this weekend.
Giggs was rested here, while Valencia was also spared on the bench for the majority of the game. That would suggest that both will start against Villa. Gibson has a chance of keeping a starting role, given that Scholes will miss out through suspension. As for the striker situation – Owen has certainly done enough to hand him a start against Villa but it looks unlikely. Both Rooney and Berbatov were doubts according to Ferguson earlier in the week. Now he suggests that they will both be miraculously available…
“We expect Nemanja Vidic to be fit for Saturday’s game…Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov will both be fit, as will Ryan Giggs.”
The cynic in me is wondering whether the injuries were just a smokescreen to justify resting key players with a Champions League place at stake for Wolfsburg and CSKA. It’s certainly looking that way.
The injury to Michael Essien dominates the evening at Stamford Bridge. Essien got on the scoresheet in the 2-2 draw but limped off clutching his hamstring and could now face a prolonged spell on the sidelines. He is already out of the weekend clash with Everton.
Drogba and Essien were the scorers on the night, but Chelsea were careless in handing Apoel a late equaliser after dominating for long periods. Zhirkov and Joe Cole caught the eye, as did youngsters Borini and Kakuta, making his full debut tonight.
Ancelotti’s team-sheet showed a strong central defence of Carvalho and Terry in front of reserve keeper Turnbull. Cech was rested then, along with Ivanovic and Ashley Cole – all three will surely return when Moyes’ men visit. Belletti and Zhirkov came in last night. Lampard was also rested, up until Essien’s injury, along with the likes of Anelka, Ballack and Deco. Joe Cole started behind Drogba, hinting that he’ll be back on the bench against Everton, despite his performance tonight.
Essien’s injury is a blow and we can only await the full prognosis. Ancelotti didn’t have too much to say on the injury, but confirmed that we can expect scan results in the next few days…
“He has a problem with his leg, we have to look the next days and we will do a check tomorrow I think,’ the manager said. ‘We hope that it is not a big problem, but he is not available for Saturday.”
Essien has proved to be a popular fantasy signing in recent weeks – the two goal haul against Wolves in gameweek 13 proving to be a catalyst for increased interest. There’s likely to be plenty of disappointed fantasy managers waking to this news on Wednesday morning then, although there are good options in Essien’s price bracket available as replacements. United’s Giggs and Bolton’s Taylor spring to mind immediately, while Villa’s Milner is also likely to get some further attention. The Watchlist provides my view on him and the other candidates mentioned.

Any thoughts on who will have a better weekend – A Young or Bowyer?
I’d rather have Bowyer.
its close but i would probally go for Bowyer
No idea. Im considering benching A.Young. But if Man United defense will concist of midfielders like yesterday A.Youngs crossers will be very dangerous. I would expect 2-5 points, possible 8-10 but not likely.
Id play Bowyer of the two.
SAF will field a proper Utd defence against Villa. He will not let the opportunity of catching up on Chelsea this weekend play out slowly over Dec when he can deliver a strong punch now. He was just resting returning defenders. He needs top-class defenders fo deal with the Dunne/ Cuellar set-piece goal threat. With Chelsea going out in the CC, loosing to City and drawing against the weakest side in the CL, he needs to wage psychological warfare with Chelsea to create self-doubt and thus the opportunity for more dropped points in Dec.
that’s deep trinigunner, you some sort of psychologist?
Nah, just a conspiracy theorist lol. Chasing pack have to close the gap on Chelsea BEFORE ACN; that’s the only way the title race stays open. ARS & ManU alreay qualified for CL knockout; why risk key players in meaningless games? Just ask Wenger about RVP & their Holland “friendly”with Italy.
Linoleum – I wouldn’t bench Ashley Young. Given your team, Cole is out, and I’d bench Jacobsen and Hangeland. Burnley are pretty good at home and Hull know they need a win against Blackburn with the fixtures they have coming up.
Thanks for your input. Thing is, I might do 2 tranfers for a 4 p hit this week
Don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but the recent comments frame isn’t working as it should…
Yep, it has.
Mark still working on some bugs in the system.
Mark changed the format yesterday, it now shows the gravators of the posters as well as the page thier posting on.
hahaha, Rock that’s obviously not what I meant by it not working you funny ?old? man
Kuyt out – SWP/Lennon/Valencia in?
Doing Eduardo to Defoe, so my choices are to have 3 ManU (Evra/Rooney/Valencia), 2 TOT (Defoe/Lennon) or not to have all my eggs in one basket and go for SWP.
Is it worth a 4 point hit this week to trade out Bent/Dempsey for Defoe/Larsson?
Reasoning: Bent’s returns since Cats out has been poor, but he’s made his big points weeks against the weakest defences @ home(HC & WW). Can he do well against Pompey @ home this week?
If Larsson’s gonna deliver in the short-term, it will be against WHM & BLA, who have terrible away records.
Suggestions gentlemen?
i would keep Bent but get in Larsson for Dempsey although it would be great if you could have Bent and Defoe…
Thanks Rock; makes sense. Who’s your picks for sub-5M midfielders over Dec?
Might work but I shan’t be taking a 4pt hit to swap Bent for Defoe. Odds are against him being at least 4 pts better to justify the hit. Fixtures going forward are comparable too. Like Rock said, get them both if you can – I’m considering that if news turns sour on Berbatov’s return.
I have made the mistake of hanging on to Rooney during his lean spell when RVP & Defoe ran riot. Now that he is scoring (although 2 PK and 2 in open play may be misleading), future fixtures make him hard to give up. I have Drogs already and he will be a mint to buy back, so its down to Bent or Defoe.
Bent you better come good this week or I’ll come to your house!
Afternoon!
I haven’t done this for a while but I need some advice on my team,
Sorensen, Hart
Evra, Cole A, Scharner, Turner, Alexander
Fabregas, Valencia, Dunn, Dempsey, O’Hara
Rooney, Drogba, Bent
+0.9 in Bank.
I think I’m on the right lines and I’m sure many of you will have a similar kind of team I’m just working out a plan for next few weeks. Thinking Turner needs to go, and am looking at possibly Ridgewell though his fixtures in a few weeks are not good! Otherwise Samba or Emerton? Blackburn’s fixtures to come are not too bad.
Ideally I’d like to get Lennon in, not sure how though….
Any thoughts on team and suggestions would be much appreciated!
Cheers!
get rid of cole evra or ideally both and upgrade your midfield
Interesting, I see your point I thought Evra and Ashley would be ones to keep as good chance of cleanies coming up BUT that said I can see your point my Midfield could defiantly be improved and downgrading them would be the key to do that.
but point id make malex is that evra and cole are generally likely to score between 1-6 barring a fluke of potentially 12, whereas a swp/valencia/milner/lennon/benayoun will score between 2-7 regularly and are proven capable of regular scores of 10+
money is better off spent in midfield
wise words, Cheers Tosey!
I really don’t think you need Lennon, you have a very good team and you are going to be playing your strikers week in week out and you are going to be playing Fabregas/Valencia and either Dunn or O’Hara depending on fixtures every week too, I would not get rid of Cole or Evra to be honest. If you downgrade Turner to Dann or Ridgewell (you are not going to have to play him very often with a strong mid and strikeforce) and then you should have 1.4 at which point you should be able to do Bent to Defoe?
I would also get rid of Dempsey in due course, I think with Murphy back his returns will be diminished
Yeah Turner defiantly going to go, thinking getting in Ridgewell as then have extra money to upgrade Dempsey. Then if need be I can always downgrade either Evra or Cole if I need the extra cash!
In the absences of Bridge, who will City play at left back?
Sylvinho, Onuoha, Lescott or Kompany.
That’s cleared that up then!
i’d put my house on lescott left back kompany in the middle.
my house is $hit by the way
Spent all your cash on that samsung tv.
alright panasonic don’t rub it in
lads would really appreciate some advice on my team (should be linked in)
anelka fab and gerrard not producing for me at the moment and certainly not justifying their price tags. want to get some exposure to spurs (JD or lennon) and also tempted by arshavin if wenger continues to play him up top. getting rid of dunn doesnt given me enough money and id like to keep dempsey for GW20. very nervous about taking out stevie g or fab as they are still great players who can score highly at any moment but seriously thinking about get rid of one or both.
also anelka was in anticipation of the ACN but he seems to have a different role in ancelloti’s system so getting JD seems like the obvious move. again, im nervous that anelka could score big at any moment and chelsea’s fixtures are great.
any thoughts would be much appreciated!
cheers fellas
I would keep Anelka if I were you.
Guaranteed to play every week, good upcoming fixtures and in good form.
The ACN is a bonus for him.
You know the old saying – form in temporary, class is permanent.
Fab, Anelka and Gerrard will come good sooner or later. For Gerrard it could be soon. Fabregas it could be a bit later on after his tricky run of fixtures and Anelka ought to only score big once he takes up a central role whilst Drogba is away in january. However all 3 always have good potential to score in each game they play because of their calibre. The only one i would change temporarily of the three is Anelka to Defoe.
thanks mullenlad. i’m inclined to agree. just dont want to miss out on chelsea portsmouth the following week otherwise i’d definitely do it!
Go with probability for the next 5 gameweeks. In the goals department Drogba is key to Chelsea, Anelka isn’t as much. In the same respect Defoe is key to Tottenham. I know who I would back every time.
How does Arsenal have a tricky run of fixtures? After this week it looks like this:
bur HUL AVL por,BOL EVE bol
If that’s tricky, I’m a whore who’s name is Trixie.
cheers boss although a look at his recent points tells another story. feel like he could kick off at any moment though but defoe is bound to destroy wolves on the weekend.
any other thoughts lad?
Afternoon gents
I’m looking for a cheap defender. I was thinking about Stokes Wilkinson or Arsenals Traore.
Any idea if Traore will play in defence for Arsenal for a few weeks? He has played the last few games but was subbed with 3mins to go for Silvestre on the weekend.
Any thoughts?
I thought he went off injured Dai, you’d have to check that one out. But I’d say he is VERY risky anyway (it does deserve capitalisation in my opinion!)
He shoud play the next two games but they’re tricky ones (liv, bur).
Clichy ought to be close to a return by gameweek 18 so taking the risk of getting him in depends on whether you have good enough subs as cover if traore is replaced against Hull.
cheers fellas.
mullenlad, I need to step in on your bullshit. Because I don’t like bullshit. Traore wen’t off badly injured the last game and if Arsenal thinks Burnley away is a tricky fixture they might as well say goodbye to their top4 hopes.
I’ll remind you overtone that Burnley have only lost once this season at home. But apologies i forgot to say IMO. But in the same fashion so should you when talking about a team’s chances in a game.
And as for Traore yes he did go off injured but Wenger claimed it wasn’t anything serious so please show me your source where hes “badly” injured.
Anything else you’d like to bring up for DISCUSSION?
i’ve got 4 players marked in yellow, rooney, shawcross, brown, and dunn, from the comments i’ve read it looks like rooney, and possibly shawcross might make it. my team is: sorenson, hart,
shawcross, brown, hangeland, ivanovic, nelsen, fabregas, dunn, giggs, dempsey, rodwell, rooney, defoe, drogba. should i leave the team as it is and get rid of both fulham players next week?
this is in my other team by the way!!!
I’ve a few minor issues ahead of this week, ie who to play at the back.
I’m pretty happy to go with Sorenson ahead of Robinson as Stoke are at home and Blackburn away – Even if it is against a Bullardless Hull.
However, doubling up with Faye at the back too I’m not so sure. With the return of Shawcross looking likely, will Faye be the one to miss out or would it be poor old Wilkinson again? I have Mears too who has not exactly got the worst fixture in the world so not sure whether to go for him instead. Ivanovic should be coming in for Hangeland barring any injury to Cesc tonight.
After I’ve said all that, Mears could play anyhow if Dunn is still absent.
Cesc didn’t travel so he should be reasonably safe from injury, unless he’s looking after Liam Lawrence’s dog or knocking up a salad for Dave Beasant.
lol. or testing aftershaves with canizares
Cesc Fabregas being Dave Beasants salad bitch – Is this punishment for missing penalties?
At least he didn’t have to be the keeper of the peace at chez Davenport.
does anyone know what stokes probable back 4 is up until gw20
You need someone psychic.
Doris Stokes?
lovely,
who was that bird Hoddle used to use
Should I take a 8 point hit in replacing Reid/Elliot with Valincia/Jarvis as I have lost faith in both Reid and Elliot.
Not this week when they’re both at home.
no, I wouldnt take a point his unless you cannot field 11.
Hey,
I’m getting rid of Dempsey this weekend, who is the best long term replacment?
Valencia
Modric
Lennon
Aquilani
Milner
or SWP
Taylor.
Interesting……….this job is 24/7!
got to love SWp’s fixtures, quite a lot of flux in the man city team but he has only not played the full 90 3 times
Valencia. Modric will take some time before he can do 90. Lennon is patchy at best. Aquilani is an X-Factor. Milner is a work horse going into a tough fixture run. SWP is unpredictable. Valencia has the easiest run.
I’m tempted by Aquilani (being a red) If he’s half as good as Rafa thinks he is, he could be a bonus magnet
You can make a case for all of them but Valencia would cover your United attacker if you don’t have Rooney.
Valencia/Milner
Thoughts on this team???
Sorenson
Evra,Cole,Shawcross
Fabregas,Reid,Valencia,Larsson
Bent(C),Rooney,Drogba
Kirkland,Ridgewell,Bikey,Dunn
Thanks
I like Larsson as the budget man. Never been a fan of Bikey I just think he’s too inconsistent which is mainly Burnley as a team’s fault.
Maybe Kirkland for Hart as a better defensive choice.
Apart from that its a quality team.
thanks
WHo would you gentlemen play out of
Hart/ Jensen
Evra/ Dunne/ Verms/ Bikey/ Shawcross?
Jenson in goal.
Evra, Shawcross, and the Bike at the back. With Vermaelen as first sub to cover Shawcross if he doesn’t make it.
However you line up at the back this week, I can’t see many points though!
Hart instead of Jensen but i would agree with the rest of what Hogg said.
How optimistic Boss H! My deluded self believes I can squeeze 24 points out of it if I do it right! Right now I’m thinking Hart, Evra/ Bikey & Shawcross.
any1 still thinks kuyt is worth to keep for the upcoming gwk’s? was thinking of taking him out for arshavin/valencia the next gw. can i have any thoughts on kuyt?
he’s got lovely hair
i think he is from Holland
he’s pretty ugly.
omg. fantasyfootball wise people =)
now to actaually answer your question. i’d swap kuyt for arsh as arsh appears to be playing up front and Torres is coming back
but quite lovable in the same instance.
Rafa: “you could do worse than Dirk, he never misses a minute of football” (as per David Brent defending Gareth looking like an arse-faced weasel in Chasers for never missing a day’s work)
I am replacing him with Valencia/Lennon/SWP this week, he has had his chance to perform in my team from GW1…had enough really. Valencia looks the transfer to do with fixtures….
the guy is impossible to predict. could score 5 in 5 or could go 8 without scoring. if liverpool are on fire then he is probably worth keeping but that they are not
haha ok guys, i think im gona decide on whether to take him out based on his performance during the ars match. very tempted to keep him because his fixtures arent that bad and i have more problems in my team to deal with
can same the same about most midfielders under £10m, Applebonkers? I would stick with him with the fixtures they have. Especially as he may start up front (pending El Nino fitness).
cheers rock and martin, i was thinking i was a bit of a c*ck as i chuckled to myself whilst writing my funny comment, but you’ve made me revise my self opinion to thinking i’m pretty funny
I unfortunately was on the Kuyt train from weeks 4-14. The fustration was palpable. If you have an excellent pharmacist, keep him. Otherwise, buy someone more reliable like Valencia.
lol steve
Who’s my best bet for points this week. Dawson of Spurs or Nelson of Blackburn?
From those, Dawson.
But I’d have a good look at Samba and Emerton if you’re considering Nelson. Both better options in my opinion.
Even Chimbonda is better than Nelsen.
No Chimbonda isn’t.
not enough cash for Samba or Emerton, i just think B’burn have some reasonable fixtures coming up and Nelson looks a good bet for home games, he’s got a bit of a goal threat too, but i agree it’s not a big as Sambas
Samba (and to a lesser extent Nzonzi) are attracting so much attention at corners and free kicks that Nelsen does seem to be getting a lot more chances than he did last season. decent bet for bonus points too
good point Dunny, think i’ll go for Nelson this week.
I’m considering Nelson n Dawson in for Warnock and Halford(no laughing). Corluka, Ridgewell n Ivanovic are the others depending on budget.
Unfortunately none of these combos is helping me get in Defoe for Rodallega.
after all that waffling, Nelson edges it….just.
Whats latest on David Dunn ?
After surviving the train crash he began to realise that he may some kind of special powers and be immune to any injury.
He’s never taken a day off work, can bench press twice his own weight and can spot concealed weapons at sports events.
With some persuading by Samuel L Jackson he decided to put his powers to good use by seeking out criminals and dispensing justice.
Despite this he is remains a doubt for this weekend.
water is his weakness though Hogg
That explains it.
Rains a lot in Lancashire, see.
you not talking about the film “Unbreakable”?
Bruce Willis is in it and your story sounds alot like that film
Film?
Bruce Willis?
I’m talking about a documentary I saw about David Dunn, his special powers, and his relationship with his nemesis Samuel L Jackson.
http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A.....260456137/**http%3a//www.imdb.com/title/tt0217869/
sorry it sounded alot like this film! there very similar stories! and Samuel L Jackson is also in this film! good film all the same though, perhaps they based it on David Dunn!
sorry, perhaps this link works:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0217869/
HAHAHAHAH…. maybe it’s the Thickman after all hahahha
I hate to be the one to explain jokes but Bruce Willis’ character in the movie is called David Dunn
.
yep yep just after finding that out myself! haha its been a few years since i seen the film
…. you had to go and spoil it now didn’t you..
Rock, I’m going to start calling you the Iceman.. if it’s ok?
Or the thickman.. haven’t decided yet 
i thinnk i deserve it lol
This might just be the best comment I have ever read around here. You made my day.
ya very good Hogg
Sol Campbell to utd ?!?!?!?! it actually would’nt be the worst move considering there defensive problems..
where did you hear that Rock,
by the way congrats on dropping another place in the H2H even though you’ve got more points than any other bugger in the league, must be driving you nuts!
Save me a place at the bottom im coming with you (although the last few weeks i deserve it)
Fergie loves to pick up the pensioners in January so I wouldn’t put it past him.
He may also be considering Bobby Moore and Billy Wright on short-term contracts.
Hey Hogg!
Looks like our blood pact to captain Arshavin paid off nicely! You didn’t bail on it, did you?
Course I didn’t bail!
A blood pact is a blood pact my friend.
If it wasn’t for those penalty misses I would’ve got a very tasty score this week. (Fab +6, Arsh +6, Defoe +6 and possible bonus).
In the end had to settle for 58.
i heard that on radio 1 this morning, might be a reasonable punt if he’s priced at 4m, however given he’s going to utd, i bet they’d price him at least 5m
actually now i’ve re read your comment and thought about it the more im suspicious it was a joke.
(as he walks away slapping his head)
lol no joke Martin, link below!
http://www.football365.com/sto.....51,00.html
its probally just paper gossip but it wouldn’t be the first time fergie has done something like this.
and yes it is driving me nuts!! i just keep expecting to get beat every week now.. i don’t even have to check! and don’t worry i will save you the spot ahead of me.. second last aint to bad eh martin?
SAF will sign up the Match of the day pundits next.
odds of 9/2 of it happening too!
It’s quite obvious by the way Fergie talks about inflated transfer prices that Sol won’t be the most expensive around the place, is a proven premiership player and despite his age will be a handy addition to the squad at a time when a bit of experience will go a long long way, I think it could be inspired
yeah agreed
I disagree. He was past it in his final season at Arsenal, lost his pace while at Pompey and now… all he can offer is advice to the youngsters. Torres or Drogba Vs Old Sol, no thank you.
Ok Lads
1.2 in the bank
Hunt/Dempsey for O’hara/Valencia or Bowyer/Giggs?
Don’t have enough for Bowyer/Valencia
What are peoples thoughts on Traore at Arsenal? Will he continue to play through the double gw?
clichy is predicted to be back for the burnley game.
Thanks Apple!
probably not, clichy will be close to a return by around gameweek 18.
Traore went off badly injured against Stoke, so I wouldn’t put my money of that.
I thought Wenger said it wasn’t serious?
What’s your opinion on swapping Aaron Hughes with Roger Johnson for the next two matches? It is clearly a shortt-term measure. They not only cost the same but Roger Johnson has one more game and even easier Birmingham fixtures in the next few weeks. What’s your say? Should I go with the transfer in game week 17?
yes good move
If you’ve nothing better to do…
team for wkend set apart fae 1 thing so il put it out there who would you start dann hame 2 west hame or zayette at home 2 blackburn
Guys,
Who to bring in for Dempsey,
favouring SWP over Lennon (have Defoe), Taylor, and Giggs at present.
Any thoughts?
Valencia would be my pick. City do have good fixtures though. SWP might be an inspired choice.
It’s between Valencia and SWP for me and I can’t decide..
i would go for Valencia too
i will ditto all of the above….in the same situation.
Hey thanks Guys, i am normaly pretty thorough but never realised how well valencia has been doing lately, just been skipping over posts recommending him.
Have took my blinkers off now and as Louie will go for one of SWP and Valencia.
Cheers.
let me know how you decide mate!
Will do Louie, will make my mind up by Friday and let you know. Am now JUST favouring Valencia at present.
hi all my team for this gw:
Sorrenson (Hart)
carvalho, wilkinson Evra (dunne, zayate)
Fabri, giggs, reid, bowyer (dunn)
drogba, bent, defoe
any suggestions…….
for coming weeks as well….
cheers…
Hey all. This weekend I am probably going to go Verm -> Ridgewell and Agbonlahor -> Defoe based on advice from these board. I have 2 questions though:
1. Why Ridgewell > Dann (isn’t Ridgewell’s position temporary?)
2. Is it worth taking a hit on Dempset -> Valencia or Lennon or keep him for this week?
Cheers. Keep up the good work!
1.Im not sure but I was told a few weeks back by people on here that ridgewell place is safe…
2.Lennon would probley make up the four points this week but id rather Valencia long term..
1. I chose Ridgewell over Dann as he seems to offer a bit more of an aerial threat at set plays.
2.No you can do that transfer next week, no need to take the risk of not getting any points from Valencia/Lennon this week.
Thanks for the advice, lads. It seems I heard the same things you guys did on here about Ridgewell.
Yeah, think I’ll stick to the D-man for the time being and switch up to Valencia in time for Wolves.
I’m captaining Bent…Good idea?????
Ermmm lol. Surely you have better options? I mean he’s a decent shout but no Defoe or Drogba?
I have Drogba alright…I can see a repeat of the Wolves match though for Sunderland
Well the general paattern is Sunderland do well at home, and rubbish away. Thats why Bent isn’t a bad shout. But Drogba is on fire!
I can see it coming down to a coin toss…thanks for the views always good to hear…:D
bent is a good gamble…’due’ a goal or 3…
not a bad idea not a good idea
Got him as my captain atm, the fact that I’m considering Adebayor again shows how bad my other options are though
I think Im gonna have a go at it..
That helps?:D
just brought in ivanovic for hangeland…leaves me with this for saturday…should i consider anymore changes??
hart
evra ivanovic alexander
arshavin taylor valencia dunn
adebayor defoe(c) agbonlahor
(robinson,scharner,ohara,gallas)
Brave not having the Drog but defoe *should* get you a bundle.
Beatties a big bully ,he picked the tinyiest manager in the league to pick a fight with ,
i hope tony bit him in the ear
Sould i make any transfers this week? Please have a look at my team
Should*
Bullard,Hunt,Ade,Zuberbuhle,Dempsey,Zubar..
Ge some of them out
how many should i ship out this week?
Your priorities for this week should be Bullard and Zuberbuhler, and then Hunt next week. You don’t have a goalkeeper for next week, mate.
I was going to sort my keeper next week, sorenson can play this week. Bullard for who? want someone for long term should i take a 4 point hit and raise more funds
Maybe Reid. There are a tone of interesting players in that price range, take a pick. I’d dare even saying MIlijas, he’s a sure starter after he won first game for Wolves after a long period of catastrophies.
Surely Bullard is the only urgent one? Dempsey isn’t the worst in the world and although he misses 17 he plays twice in 20 if you still have him then. Ade isn’t unreasonable with the games they have coming up. There are cheaper better options than Hunt, and Zubar is Zubar
i think i’m going to just bench dempsey for the week he misses, i can field 11 players i just want to keep my good run of form going
Hi guys. great site, first post:
My team for Saturday is currently:
Hart (Jensen)
Evra, Scharner, Ivanovic (Carr, Bramble)
Dempsey, Fabregas, Bowyer, Milner (Elliott)
Bent, Drogba(C), Rooney
with 1.9m in the bank.
I’ve already made one change this week (Bowyer in for Hunt to beat the price rise) and any further changes incur hits.
Is Defoe in for Bent worth a 4 point hit? OR
Is Lennon in for Dempsey worth a 4 point hit?
Or do I stick with things as they are? Any advice appreciated.
Duke post it on the new thread
stick as u r but id play carr and elliott ahead of scharner and dempsey…
i no u already have hart in goal but i think brum have a great chance of a cleanie against a poor west ham side without cole…elliott at home to dempsey is also better i think as burnley r good at home and fulham struggle away…other than that, nice team…
Lennon for Dempsey maybe, but selling Bent at home vs Portsmouth is never a good idea.
Hi guys, dont normally ask but could do with some advice this week, this is my team:
Sorensen (Hart)
Ridgewell, Hangeland, Evra (Mears, Scharner)
Dunn, Fabregas, SWP, Lennon (O’Hara)
Rooney, Adebayor, Defoe
I have 2 free transfers this week and 0.9 in the bank, was thinking some Chelsea representaion needed mabye ACole, Drogba and Larsson in for Hangeland, SWP, Adebayor but would mean 4 point hit and losing SWP for City’s decent run, any ideas?
I like the look of your team. Bringing Drogba in now MAY be the wrong thing to do (being on 4 yellows and going to ANC soon).
I would probably look at downgrading Adebayor to a forward of your choice to enable Hangeland to A.Cole.
Do we still have no news on Dunn?
i have vermaelen, and ballack. Is it worth taking a hit next gameweek to get them out for cole/valencia?
Which three would you bench from
a) Alexander
b) Eagles
c) Hunt
d) O Hara
e) Hangeland
and in what order?
