The Weekend Team News
Filed under: Team News - Posted by: johnfinlay
Arsene Wenger is without full-backs Kieran Gibbs and Carl Jenkinson as his side come up against Norwich. Johan Djourou and Andre Santos look likely to get the nod in the Gunners’ backline…
Cheik Tiote has been ruled out for Newcastle’s trip to Man City, who have Sergio Aguero fit and available after the international break. Mancini’s starting lineup is anyone’s guess, though, with many of their first-team involved heavily for their nations. Luis Suarez has shaken off a back injury and should start for Liverpool. Whilst Alex Ferguson has question marks over the fitness of Danny Welbeck.
As ever, Team News will continue to be updated throughout the day so keep checking back as more reports and press conferences come through. It’s also worth keeping an eye on our Twitter feed which links directly to the source.

I have just captained Moses for this GW week. Yes they are HUGE.
November 18 at 1:01 pm
notidaho says:
is this true? I’ve only just bought him so I’m sure as hell playing him at home to blackburn. If he doesn’t even come close to scoring then here never ever will and Wigan are going down.
November 18 at 1:05 pm
MJonno_79 says:
He is my captain for this week as I have no other players who I can choose for one reason or another.
Rooney – playing in midfield
RVP- early kick off
Silva – will he wont he never gets more than 7 points and probably wont start or wont finish
VDV – 75% fit and he only plays 60mins when 100%
And I am 114 points ahead in my work mini league
November 18 at 1:09 pm
Sporting Abeergut says:
you have RvP and he’snot even in the running?
you’re willing to screw up your whole week because you think there’s an early kick off curse?
madness.
November 18 at 1:21 pm
E says:
Moses also plays in MF. Better than Moses. Silva – great. VDV – okay. All better than Moses. But going for Mo is more fun
November 18 at 2:47 pm
Gary Double-U says:
RVP got 3 at the bridge in the early kick off game 3 wks ago
November 18 at 1:28 pm
LEDDERS says:
What happened last time RVP played in the early kick off? Low scoring week was it not…..

I will on Saturday at 11.30. Just check my team out. Moses (c) RVP (V).
Come on moses I have faith.

Anyonebutdavidpleat says:
lol, my friend your league standing has finally gone to your head. I|t might work, but you are 99% more likely to get more points the other way around, so thats the way to bet..
November 18 at 1:43 pm
notidaho says:
I’ve gotta say while I’ll be playing Moses and think your decision is ballsy, I captained SWP vs blackburn at home he returned a big nothing.
I’d also say SAF has stressed Rooney’s midfield excursion was due to injuries and now wellbecks you’ve got Rooney and RVP excellent captain choices. Yea VDV is too risky…

Repost as no answer on previous page…anyone?
Is it worth doing Dunne -> P Jones for free tonight before the price rise, even if Jones doesn’t make it into my starting 11? 2nd question, should Jones make it into this starting 11 this week?
Westwood
Woodgate, Wilkinson, Brown
Silva, VDV, Ramsey, Moses
RVP, Aguero, Adebayor
Subs: Ruddy, Sinclair, Dunne, Simpson
November 18 at 1:02 pm
jinswick says:
Jack Off, you normally offer good advice – any thoughts?
November 18 at 1:05 pm
Jack(off)Attack. says:
I’ve got Jones but I am getting rid soon.
Not because he isn’t a good pick, but I have learnt my lesson with ‘expensive defenders.’
Top and mid heavy for me from here on!
November 18 at 1:08 pm
jinswick says:
Have the same idea, although 1 expensive defender is OK in my books. Would you play Jones over any of my other 11 this week?
November 18 at 1:13 pm
Reply Fail says:
I would play him over Woodgate or Wilkinson. I would also play Sinclair over Moses.

Hey sorry for the repost-
Would you guys mind taking a quick one question poll regarding Conrad Murray’s involvement in the death of Michael Jackson? It’s for my journalism class

I need 60 more votes–it’ll only take 15 seconds

60 votes in 15 seconds. impressive.

Release The Ox says:
Anybody here considering Andre Santos.Cheaper option than Vermaelen but still has the chance for attacking points.
November 18 at 12:59 pm
Archie says:
Not guaranteed though, but then who is apart from Verm? You get what you pay for pretty much, i’m not sure he’s worth it.
November 18 at 1:00 pm
Jack(off)Attack. says:
After next week I am downgrading Jones. Leaving me with Enrique + 4 x 4.0-4.5′s.
Andre Santos (or any other Arsenal defender for that matter) is way over priced IMO
November 18 at 1:51 pm
Gummi says:
No love for any Man City defender? You don’t think Kompany is worth it at 6.2?
November 18 at 1:11 pm
Sporting Abeergut says:
it was an interesting option…..until i saw the price tag.
not worth it IMO.

Repost: Got lost on last page
Is there a concencus on whether Wilkinson will start?
November 18 at 1:01 pm
Jack(off)Attack. says:
Most definitely.
He is their only ‘half decent’ right back.
November 18 at 1:15 pm
Gigging Order says:
Thanks Jack Off

Thoughts on who is the better option this week out of Lamps or Silva.
On paper Chelsea have the tougher game, but will Silva start after a trip from Costa Rica?
November 18 at 1:04 pm
IceMan DB says:
After hearing Mancini’s press conference I think i’m going to stick with Aguero!
November 18 at 1:07 pm
elninorules says:
What did he say? Anything about resting key players?
November 18 at 1:15 pm
IceMan DB says:
‘We have a problem with some players who played 2 full games and players like Zaba and Aguero who got here yesterday and are tired. This is the problem after an international break but no one’s injured so that’s the important thing’. Basically no where does he mention that he’s going to rest Aguero so I think i’m going to stick with him this week as he has played the least amount of minutes out of Balo and Dzeko.

petrov/bolton
talk to me
start? yay or nay
November 18 at 1:07 pm
Jack(off)Attack. says:
Nay – he’s pants.
November 18 at 1:08 pm
Minty says:
Can’t see it myself, would you play him when you’ve just won 5-0 and he played no part – i’m ditching him this week, just need to decide if its for Lamps or Silva
November 18 at 1:53 pm
Gummi says:
If you want a Bolton player, a better option would be Eagles or possibly Klasnic.

Archie says:
RM WCT?
Vorm/Westwood
Wilkinson, Simpson, McAuley, Enrique, BAE
Silva, VdV, Lampard, Drenthe, Pilkington
RVP, Dzeko, Ba
Could bring Jones in for Enrique, and BAE->Brown but i’ve had him since 5.0 and see him as a season keeper, had Ba for a while and not sure whether to take the profit now because his fixtures aren’t bad after City/Utd/Chelsea are out the way. Bendtner’s tempting
Basing the team around Silva/VdV/Lamps/RVP/Dzeko, if i need Rooney/Aguero i’ll have to downgrade/swap one of those..
Any advice, I keep fiddling things around when really I should leave well alone
November 18 at 1:27 pm
theotherguy says:
I personally don’t see the attraction of BAE – Sunderland have some great fixtures so would rather go for Brown and keep the 0.5m spare. I would also take out McAuley – you’re better off spending an extra 0.1m and getting Naylor IMO.
Other than that I think its lookin good. Ba’s a tough call… he could be this year’s Andy Carroll? Probably best to hold on for a little longer to see how Newcastle go with the big boys.
November 18 at 1:12 pm
HarveysDadsBarmyArmy says:
Which 2 to play out of:
Enrique (v che)
Warnock (v tot)
Simpson (v mci)
O’Hara (v eve)
Dyer (v MAN)
Team:
Szczesny
BAE, Kompany, ???
Drenthe, Bale, Walters, ???
Aguero, RvP, Bendy
Leaning towards Enrique & O’Hara due to Warnock & Simpson clashing.
Any transfer will be a hit.
November 18 at 1:16 pm
Archie says:
Just play Enrique and O’Hara, their prospects aren’t bad
November 18 at 1:29 pm

Anti Top Four says:
How much playing time will Nasri get?
November 18 at 2:23 pm
theotherguy says:
Not enough to justify his pricetag – Milner’s looking just as dangerous/likely to be rotated and 2m cheaper.
November 18 at 1:28 pm
Impressive Tackle says:
Got RVP and Bendy but cannot decide on a 3rd striker between:
Aguero (got Silva), Adebayor (got VDV) and Rooney (No other Utd cover)
November 18 at 1:38 pm
theotherguy says:
Rooney, but if you need some spare cash I’d go for Dzeko.
November 18 at 1:50 pm
notidaho says:
rooney idealy esp now welbecks out… but if too pricey hernandez wil be good manU cover
November 18 at 1:56 pm
Gummi says:
Yup. He’s guaranteed minutes while Aguero is more likely to be rotated. It wouldn’t surprise me if Rooney goes on a scoring run after being rested for the international break.

Ricky Ponting… give it away son, geez!!

Anyway, will Agbonlahor play this weekend??

houghmagandie says:
I can’t decide whether to start Bosingwa or Enrique alongside Jones and Kompany this weekend. I’ would normally choose the home player but Enrique is nailed on and I am concerned that Bosingwa might come on late in the game for one point. Whaddya think?
November 18 at 3:25 pm
nitin.nagarja says:
WCing. Please help.
Howard, Vorm
Jose Enrique, Brown, Vermaelen, NTaylor, Simpson
