We were struggling this week. Crippled by a cold that was verging on deadly man-flu, I made a miracle recovery without the aid of placenta treatment to struggle into the studio to infect/accompany Mark on another podcast.

My ailments were not my only curse; only last weekend my extraordinary run of missing out on penalty saves continued when Tim Krul (no pun intended, but I’ll take it), palmed away Lampard’s effort. Inevitably, I’d left the Dutchman on my bench.

Mark refuses to buy the fact I’ve missed out on a penalty save for five years, diverting the discussion towards the mini-league gap, chatter on Van der Vaart and debate over United’s plight at both ends of the field.

The usual smattering of regulars are all present and semi-correct – if you can understand a word I’m saying, you might just enjoy it all.

    Which three defenders would you choose for Gameweek 15?

    1) Vincent Kompany (Chelsea away)
    2) Jose Enrique (QPR at home)
    3) Ryan Shawcross (Tottenham at home)
    4) Wes Brown (Blackburn at home)
    5) Danny Simpson (Norwich away)

    Thanks

      2, 4 and 5. That said Kompany has goal scoring potential.

        Yeah thats what i think. I have Kompany first sub. I am just worried that Newcastle may concede a few this weekend. I can see a high scoring match between Newcastle and Norwich.

    Maybe VDV to Nani as you already have Bale?

    Good team though.

      Have considered Nani/ Mata for VDV, but is it worth a hit this week and with VDV have a double GW coming up?

      I like it- but 2 Spurs midfielders could restrict you're scoring if neither were to do anything, do you plan to keep VDV? Could look at Mata/Nani/Adam for a bit more attacking balance

        Just saw your comment after I'd posted haha. VDV always has the potential for multiple goals+3BPs, I wasn't patient and swapped him for Bale a few weeks ago.

    Good morning managers,

    RMT for this GW please 🙂 :
    Vorm
    Brown-BAE-Jones-RTaylor (Kompany)
    Silva-Bale-Sess (Walters, Romeu)
    RVP(C)-Ade(VC)-Ba

    3.9M in bank, thinking of: (A) Walters/Sess -> Mata next week. (B) Or Ade-Rooney. Any advice?

      Yh not bad mate. Romeu is a very interesting option. I would maybe pick Gower over him. Saying that, Romeu is looking like being Chelsea's regular holding midfielder now.

      9.5/10. Only because i think Vorm would be better in goal (instead of Al Habsi). Saying that, do you have any funds?

      Who are you having as VC this week?

    who would yolu put as captain this week?

    RVP
    BA
    ADE
    VDV
    SESS

    my head says RVP but something is tempting me on SESS.....
    could he be worth a punt?
    MON first game, at home, against blackburn
    will the new manager effect produce a quality preformance from sunderland?
    they looked so promising drawing with LIV on GW1 and their summer transfers...

        hmmm, RVP is the safe option
        choosing someone else to try and catch up in my mini-league was the goal
        but i'd be kicking myself if RVP scores 15+ again

    Morning all,

    In a bit of a transitional stage at the moment and thinking of sticking with this lot as I`ve already taken a 4 point hit.

    Vorm (Ruddy)
    Enrique Baines Evans (Simpson Brown)
    Nani Mata Formica Silva (Dyer)
    RVP (c) Adebayor Ba

    Any suggestions about anything appreciated. Thanks.

      looks good
      but why have brown if you can't play him at home against blackburn?
      Formica > Brown would be my only change

      otherwise looks good to me

      Will evans play or will phil Jones drop back into CB with smalling at RB?
      Other thoughts are Newcastles defence will be a lot weaker now they have picked up injuries so simpson out may be a possibility. Other than that I like your teams potential

      and what DAV said above

      Mata v Man City you may as well wait and Nani could catch fire against wolves but its a gamble as he's been very quiet recently so I'd be tempted to sit tight and wait a week.

    1FT and 0 cash

    Whats everyones thoughts on the team and potential transfers??

    I was thinking DVD for Bale to free up cash to spend on a better striker in the coming weeks but with Richards and Drenthe doubtful might need to shore up the subs bench

      I think you are good for this week, no need to do VDV to Bale yet. 2 FT next week will make your life much easier, especially in taking care of injury situation.

      that's a really good team actually. Though if you feel you must do something, get a United attacking coverage.
