New Poll – Will Portsmouth Be Spared A Rooney Roasting?

Let’s face it, it’s the question on most Fantasy Manager’s minds going into the weekend, whether you happen to own Wayne Rooney or not.

Alex Ferguson has previously suggested that Rooney can’t play every match and with Villa on Wednesday and the Champions League trip to Milan less than a week later, the home game with Portsmouth looks an ideal opportunity to hand him a rest. Berbatov and Owen need pitch time and the pair should be more than enough to see off Portsmouth. Then again, Rooney is in the form of his life. He’s on fire and could dispose of Portsmouth in half-an-hour.

It’s a tough call. While every Rooney owner will be starting him; will they be handing him the armband? The Fantasy Premier League captains poll says yes but we need more detail. A new poll has been launched in your middle column to collect your views on just how much time Rooney will be given to get his teeth stuck into Ben Haim and his pals.

Get voting.

  2. horlicks says:

    Berbatov! I’m gonna put in Berbatov!

    Right guys, help needed.

    I need to play two from Murphy, Collison, Cohen.

    I have Cohen (against dodgy Fulham at home) and Murphy in at the moment, but tempted to change Murphy to Collison. Thoughts?

    are ppl playing fabregas?????????

    Lots of nervous people sweating on Rooney in here but captain’s poll showing a lot of confidence in him.

    Rooney captain is the easy decision.

    I’m sweating on Nani or Valencia – spent 4 points to bring in Nani and benched Valencia.

    Can anyone see both of them playing or have I made the right decision?

    • horlicks says:

      why do you have both in your squad…thats just silly…

      • chris81 says:

        Man U are the only side I can see scoring big – didn’t want to sub out Valencia until I knew better and definitely wanted to sub out Kranjcar since he can’t even get a game in front of Bentley.

        Had to make transfer early so I could afford to bring Rooney in for Anelka

    how come in the season ticker it shows that wolves play che n united on gw 27 when in united column it shows united r playin eve n whm?

  7. halvey says:

    ballack or hunt is the question

  8. MerryMiller says:

    Shall I get shut of Scharner? He has been nothing but a disappointment, and it appears his days in the starting line up are numbered.

    • chris81 says:

      I’ve had Scharner a couple of times this season and he’s been disappointing – the only reason you want him is cos he’s playing an advanced role but if you’ve ever seen him in front of goal you’ll know the chances of a goal are pretty slim

  9. halvey says:

    do i boda taking a four pint hit to get rid of ballack?

  10. MerryMiller says:

    Blimey, I’ve just realised, I’m going to have an awful week!! Tevez & Jerome seem like my best bet of any decent points. Haven’t made transfers yet, but it’s not looking good.

  11. jhill89 says:

    Rate please:

    Hart (Sorenson)
    Evra Dann Dunne Shawcross Vermaelen
    Nani Fabregas (Boateng Reid Bowyer)
    Rooney Tevez(c) Anelka

  13. Co.Ro says:

    Right guys i really need alot of opinions on this pleaseeee……

    atm ive got traore (out), richards(injured) and gera (out) in my team who wont play…..do i get rid of richards (might not be fit for dgw) for raphael/evans this week then next week bring in rodallega for anelka and bridge for traore…this is so i can bring in the drog the week after that

    or

    Do i get caldwell in for traore this week and then next week take gera out for wilshere and bring in rodallega for anelka…again so i can get the Drog in the week after.

  14. Soggysock says:

    Right guys, what do you think of my team? I’ve got two free transfers this week and I’ve subbed out Zamora > Tevez and Nani > Valencia, I’ve yet to confirm the changes and was thinking of sacrificing four points for a different defender, maybe bring in Shawcross?

    Hart (Sorenson)
    Vermaelen Evra Corluka Dunne (Bikey)
    Milner Nani Arshavin Barry (Gardner)
    Rooney(C) Defoe Tevez

    Let me know what you think

    Cheers
