The Weekend Team News
Filed under: Team News - Posted by: johnfinlay
Eyes will be on glued on any reports coming out of Manchester as the derby edges closer. The good news for Roberto Mancini, Alex Ferguson and Fantasy managers is that both squads are almost fully-fit…
Elsewhere, there’s been no real headline-grabbing stories. Ramires, who has been catching the attention of many a Fantasy Manager, is touch and go for the show-down with Stoke. Connor Wickham looks set to get his first start up front for Sunderland as they take on Bolton. Whilst Arsene Wenger is without a fit right-back against Stoke.
Team News will continue to be updated until tomorrow’s deadline, so keep checking back for all the latest. Our Twitter feed churn out all the up-to-the-minute injury reports and club news.

Yes, but I wouldn't advise it, defenders usually score high, 5-2-3 or 4-3-3 seem the best formations given that assists… » -

“City can go on as much as they like. That’s what you would expect, but the history of our club stands us aside. We don’t need to worry about that. I think we have a rich history, better than anyone, and it’ll take them a century to get to our level of history.”

Daniel - Glorious Frank, 350th game celebrated with hattrick says:
Good for this team, but your defense needs upgrading. Next week is excellent for upgrading. I will do it.
October 21 at 12:10 pm
Fratboy says:
cheers. Yeah not happy with the defence at all, ideally Enrique in for Naylor but some way off that! Will re-jig and think about it next week

Looks good! Just change your captain

oh I’ve been there!

I thought I would be first on the new page.

Yeah I used to count all those posts, but sometimes it shifts stuff around when a comment gets deleted and stuff. Best just to leave it I’ve learnt.

isacki says:
I have Stiliyan Petrov (don’t ask why). Stick with him for home game against WBA or take a similarly-priced alternative? (Please suggest…)
Don’t have Rooney because he’s playing City. Is this a bad idea?
October 21 at 12:09 pm
Bob says:
Keep him for the game anyway and see how he does. Think hes playing a bit more attacking than last season I read in an interview and hes hoping to score more goals like in his Celtic days!
October 21 at 12:13 pm
isacki says:
Yeah 55 goals in 228 looked very attractive. A lot better than 6 in 165 lol. He seemed quite attacking against Man City surprisingly, so I guess we should expect even more against WBA. But can’t shake the feeling another 6.0er is going to make far more hay this GW.
October 21 at 12:18 pm
viper says:
whick other 6.0er? may i ask are you talking about
October 21 at 12:20 pm
isacki says:
Ah I just mean players around the 6.0 price. Walters, Sinclair, Gutierrez, Pilkington, etc.
October 21 at 12:10 pm
Daniel - Glorious Frank, 350th game celebrated with hattrick says:
This GW he could bring you the points. What are your other mids?
October 21 at 12:14 pm
isacki says:
Nani, Silva, Mata, (Dyer)
Team is linked.
Would have liked some Tottenham coverage but it seems all too pricey. Ditto for Liverpool.

great ft, enrique will do very well over the next few weeks I think.
I’d have the same team out. Looks good, you should do really well this week I think!
October 21 at 12:40 pm
Optimus says:
cheers man just think i could get burned with petrov on the bench ut i think the same could e said if i played petrov and benched ramsey
think ill stick and hide behind the sofa

Possibly the best team I’ve seen for the coming gw, should do great.

unoaime says:
No reply on last page.
So i’m still considering Arteta > Bale and then Bale > Ramsey in 2 weeks.
A 2 week punt for TOT vs bla and QPR. If i could afford vDV i’d get him, but i plan to swap to get Suarez in and swap him for Adebayor in 3 weeks so…
What do you reckon?
October 21 at 12:22 pm
Kick Some Goals says:
Wouldn’t touch any Spurs mid besides VDV to be honest, don’t get consistent enough returns. Grab Ramsey now if he’s your eventual target.
October 21 at 12:23 pm
Fratboy says:
I really don’t like Bale as a fantasy prospect this year, I’d probably just do Arteta>Ramsey. IMO that’s not even a sideways move.
October 21 at 12:26 pm
unoaime says:
Artetas managed more shots at goal than Ramsey in less games, that’s why i see it as sideways… it’s only really a move to free up money.
My reasoning behind Bale is that he’s ripped Salgado apart every time he’s come up against him.
October 21 at 12:42 pm
Fratboy says:
very detailed thinking there unoaime! If you’ve thought about it that much I don’t see you have a choice but to get Bale!
October 21 at 12:51 pm
unoaime says:
To hell with your sarcasm
October 21 at 1:05 pm
Manamongst says:
I’m sure Salgado never came into his thinking. Besides Bale is due to cause problems, And he will be playing (hopefully serving up low hot ones to Ade) when VDV is on the bench marinating. Icing his calves and Hammy.

mouldy_uk says:
My team look ok for this weekend?
Given
Brown / Simpson / Bosingwa
Sinclair / Cabaye / Nani / Petrov
Rooney / Van Persie (c) / Suarez
Subs: Vorm / Kompany / Moses / Senderos
I can’t think of any obvious to do with this weeks transfer.
October 21 at 12:17 pm
Menly Men says:
Looks pretty tasty
October 21 at 12:19 pm
isacki says:
Not entirely sure Simpson is going to play. I think Santon is being phased in to replace him, although I don’t follow Newcastle so treat this with caution. Senderos definitely needs to be shifted out as he’s not getting enough gametime. Had both but ditched them for those reasons.
Rest is good, great forwards and you managed to keep the mid potent.
October 21 at 12:21 pm
Menly Men says:
Go for a Taylor instead. R Taylor take free kicks and so is a possible assister
October 21 at 12:23 pm
isacki says:
Yeah if you can at all afford it R Taylor is a must, doubt your budget stretches to Enrique. If you need cheaper Neil Taylor is ok although he’s playing away.
October 21 at 1:09 pm
Manamongst says:
A whole bunch of possibly nothing in the midfield. I would be worried, I am saddled with the minimal touch getting Cabaye and I will say he has been disappointing as far as his offensive and set-piece involvement. That bastard Raylor is more involved offensively than the Frenchman.
October 21 at 12:14 pm
Menly Men says:
I am worried that I have no Spurs, Villa, or Liverpool players..
Vorm/ruddy
R Taylor, bosingwa, kompany, n taylor, barnett
Silva, nani, Murphy, sinclair, (ferguson!)
RVP, rooney, sturridge
Got about one and a bit million in the bank
Any advice?
Cheers

It looks good, maybe make no transfer and keep 2 for next week. Maybe take out Nani for Gerrard for some Liverpool coverage or Rooney to Suarez?

Daniel - Glorious Frank, 350th game celebrated with hattrick says:
I was all set to bring Kompany for next GW onward, but with Mark stated on the podcast that he is expecting 2 CS’s in the next 8, so I am little bit concerned. So what do we think, is he is till good bet. Should I transfer him in? Or maybe save 1mil and bring Schawcross.
The fixtures are: WOL, qpr, NEW, liv, NOR, che, ARS, STK
How many CS’s do we see in near future for City?
October 21 at 12:28 pm
isacki says:
mun, WOL, qpr, NEW, liv, NOR, che, ARS.
Come on it’s more than 2 CS! 4 likely CS, 1 so-so CS (ARS), 3 unlikely CS. I have him and will be keeping him.
October 21 at 12:32 pm
Daniel - Glorious Frank, 350th game celebrated with hattrick says:
So Wol, gpr, Ner, Nor, Ars possible CS’s
October 21 at 12:32 pm
isacki says:
Yep I’d say that’s fair.
October 21 at 12:28 pm
Fratboy says:
I’ve got ShawX at the moment and I really like his chances for cleanies. I think City will still get maybe 3 or 4 cleanies, but at a whole 1 mil cheaper I’d say ShawX is the better bet.
October 21 at 12:28 pm
FBI Man says:
Got Luiz instead on=f Kompany tis week gamble mite pay in the long run tryin catch people off guard
October 21 at 12:31 pm
Fratboy says:
Luiz? He’s a massive rotation risk!
October 21 at 12:31 pm
Daniel - Glorious Frank, 350th game celebrated with hattrick says:
Maybe, but Mark is fantasy guru
Maybe we need to see some predicted defensive ranking.
October 21 at 12:35 pm
FBI Man says:
Luiz was good midweek his has more transfers in the Ivanovic this week.. chelsea want to win and start makin clean sheets
October 21 at 12:26 pm
rakkhi says:
After Manchester derby worth swapping kompany in for bosingwa or Cabaye for petrov/walters? Team linked
October 21 at 12:29 pm
Daniel - Glorious Frank, 350th game celebrated with hattrick says:
I asked something similar above
October 21 at 12:28 pm
Daniel - Glorious Frank, 350th game celebrated with hattrick says:
On the other hand the more important news (who needs City CS’s
)
Moses who is still waiting to have his chance with the Eagles said that his main aim was to work hard in training and become a top goal scorer like Cristiano Ronaldo.
“I’d like to up my goals tally — that’s something I’m working on. If you look at Cristiano Ronaldo, he has reached his level by training unbelievably hard.
“When it comes to the games, he gets out, what he puts in and scores goals. I need to be like that and this is why I’m training so hard,”said Moses.

Who do I have as first sub if Murphy doesn’t make it
Jones or N Taylor, I have Vorm as GK.

Guinney says:
I’m looking for a bargain basement defender to improve my bench – only have 4.1million. But want to move Gabbidon out because he has been injured for a while and has a horrible fixture list. Already have Simpson. I’m thinking Neil Taylor or Boyata. Any recommendations. Also would you waste the transfer?
October 21 at 1:46 pm
teamzm says:
Really want to get rid of Young but worried it may be a knee jerk
I already have Adebayour but no Arsenal or Bolton coverage
Should I keep Young or get one of Petrov, VDV or Ramsey?!
