Everton stun United at Old Trafford to leave the door ajar for City and set up a momentous Manchester derby. City did the business as expected at Molineux, with Sergio Aguero netting for the third consecutive game to bring the title race to the boil.

RVP PFA Player of The Year. Well deserved!
Imagine what he would have achieved had he not been so injury prone when Fabregas was still there to feed him...
van der vaart coming in for me and finally cisse (massive punt) for DGW
Wow, what a goal Hoilett. Hadn't heard it was a good strike
Is it worth doing a -8 to get 7 dgw's in if my rival has 8
they all be mids or attacks, he did -4 to get 8 anyway so its basically 8vs7 with a 4pt advantage to him...gotta take it so late in season
What sort of question is this? How are we supposed to know unless you give the details?
Yes, I'm moody 😉
*Checks team* After Auto-subs you'll only be one off of me.
he did -4 for; krul, walker, skrtl, mata, ben arfa, miyaichi, vaart & ba
i doing -8 for; walker, enrique, bale, pienaar, miyaichi, cisse, jelavic
i jst wanna stay near him going into last 2 gameweeks
i will end up with 6 dgw'ers from -8 then if i got rid of ryo and hes on 8.
Remember the days when Walters was a good pick? Lol, what a bad player...
A donkey.
wow! just seeing cabaye's pass for cisse's goal yesterday. awesome is an oft overused word, but that pass was AWESOME!
Which TWO would you pick out of VDV, Bale and Peinaar ???
Already own Jelavic.
all set for the dgw
KURL
gibbs CAHILL caulker
BALE VDV DEMPSEY PINEAAR siggy
CISSE(vc) JELLY(C)
with kelly in sub, until i know how his injury is before deadline.
8pts. hit, aiming for triple figure 🙂
Can't see 3 figures tbh. None of the DGW'ers look that high scoring
Krul*
BAE* Kaboul* Vermaelen Caulker
Maxi* Petrov* Valencia
Cisse* Aguero Rooney
Mignolet Yaya Kolarov Andrews
No hits 😀
Kaboul who might not be fit for the 1st game. BAE came off with an injury too. Maxi who might not start. Petrov who's team has the worst dgw of the lot. 3 players in the derby. Meh, not too strong imo, but a decent effort with no hits.
wow, you gonna hold Kolaorv. To me that is a dead space in your team.
Still think I need to lose him and that Terry is my best option, have Santon, not sure on Everton, don't trust Stoke. Cahill maybe not gonna play 2 games
12 point hit last week kind of makes no hits irrelevant 😛
if money was no issue what would be ur team for dgw 36 and there on??....got a WC so trying to get some ideas...
Cech
BAE,Hibbert, Enrique
Bale, VDV, Dempsey,HBA, Pienaar
Cisse, Jelly, Ade(when fit)/ Suarez
Ignored Chelsea(besides Cech) for obvious rotation risk.
Oh damn I only looked at GW 36, so I would exclude Liverpool players from that list.
thats 4 spurs players!!...lol.....might wanna add i gotta catch up a 60 point lead....so also need team for gw 37 38....
yeah :D, probably you would need at least 1 of the big 3 ( aguero, Roon, RVP) instead of Ade than. And maybe you could get Moses instead of HBA to bench for this GW and than he has nice 2 games to come. Second keeper could be Kenny for the nice fixture in GW 37. As far as defenders go im a bit not sure, but you could look at someone from Stoke or Wigan for a punt or just go for A City or United def.
The way people are talking, all City have to do to beat United is turn up on the night! I think United will win it there, how sweet that will be for them!
This. It's that 6-1 in the back if not the forefront of their minds that's dictating their judgement. I understand City are favourites but it is nowhere near clear-cut as it is being made out.
City aren't favourites.
They aren't? This surprises me with the way the media are lapping up United "throwing the title away" and well a lot of opinions I've heard on the matter. If you're referring to bookies' odds then that's nice, they know what they're doing.
It's the same rhetoric the media and United fans were peddalling a couple of weeks back when CIty dropped points so I wouldn't get too much on your high horse.
But United are still favourites because they only need a draw next week.
I hope you are right, but I am in despair after the way we defended today.
We don't have 2 full backs who are solid with regularity, if they can both concentrate for just 90 mins however...
I was a big fan of Rafael in recent games, but today was all at sea. Didnt attempt to jump with Jelavic and was ball watching when Pienaar scored. I am not too worried about us scoring goals there though, I just feel as if they will outscore us.
Rafael is one of my favourite United players, he almost stepped up remarkably to the biggest plate of them all in *that* UCL quarter-final but that Ribery had other ideas. I too have been delighted by his form of late. Yes, that jump or rather failure to jump was really annoying considering he can actually jump high in the air.
Evra needs to lead the side properly as our current captain, he had an unspeakable shocker in *that* derby earlier in the season. It is wrong that our captain and such an experience defender is a major weakness in our team! Let's be optimistic though, it's not like the players haven't got it in them.
Anyone know how many times Liverpool have actually hit the woodwork? Can only LOL at themntgis season yet They could win 2 trophies..sickening tought
3 weeks to go including a double gameweek, is a 90 point lead catchable?
im hoping so..
Vorm, Verm, Andrews + RVP -> Friedel, BAE, Pienaar + Jellyfish.
Transfers done, 12 point hit, last chance at winning my ML. i will stay away till saturday now...
cheers Manani, you too! 😀
Tweet from the always admirable vincent kompany;
RvP is the player who's had the biggest impact on his team this season. He revived Arsenal and truly deserves the #PFAPlayerOfTheYear award.
He is one of my favourite players in the modern game, even if he is the leader of the dark side. I will never forget the FA Cup match between us this season, especially his extraordinarily dignified reaction to being incorrectly sent off. City would be in United's current league position had he not been wrongly suspended and later injured at a key time.
what about if vidic stayed fit would we have conceded 4 today??? works in 2 ways
A lot of people going for VDV over Bale. Why should I go for VDV over Bale, anyone care to convince me?
So my team looks like this atm.
Krul
Simpson, Kelly, Ekotto
Bale, Demps, McClean, Sigurdsson
Rooney, Van Persie, PCisse
Bench: Ruddy, Caulker, Valencia, Evans
Transfer 1 is definetaly Rooney to Jellyfish
Transfer 2 is more dilemma. McClean def. out but who should I bring in? Want a Chelsea coverage. Think Lamps will be rested for the Fa cup final? Sooo Lampard or Mata?
Quick bit of advice please lads. My main ML has come down to a 13 point lead for me, plus he has Petrov and Ream still to go. (Squeeky bums)
He has Bale.
Should I do Walcott to Bale (and play safe to cover him)
or Walcott to VDV (riskier, but potentially bigger reward)
I have other options for this week's transfers but I would appreciate an answer for this decision alone.
Thanks as always
I have Bale but would prefer VDV right now. You don't think one hit to get a dgw player in wold be wise? Richards surely has to go.
This. Stuck with Bale. Not bringing VDV in due to spurs being meh. double toffees for me
Hi 4vets. As I said I have other options. My current plan is ;
Suarez to Jelavic
Walcott to Bale or VDV
Brunt to Pienaar
Benching Richards and then he's gone for Vermaelan in 37.
So...VDV or Bale (main rival has Bale) ??
4 point hit in total for me.
Thanks..other TFs look good ?
Also... agree with Suarez to Jellyfish, even though it's swapping one dgw'er to another. I am sick to death of my team this season 🙁
Cheers 4vets. Top 20k no bother to you. Like you said earlier in the season..it's the first year you've taken it seriously...so that would be a great overall finish. Good luck and thanks again
13pts, I might just cover my ass. If I could turn around and find my balls, then VDV. Ass or balls then essentially.
Nice, thanks Holy 😉
a) sess, walcott, kelly out for terry pienaar hba (-8pts)
b) sess, walcott, enrique out for terry vdv hba (-8pts)
c) sess, walcott, enrique out for terry bale pienaar (-8 pts)
d) sess, walcott, tevez out for vdv hba jelly (-8pts)
e) sess, walcott, kelly, tevez out for terry vdv hba jelly (-12pts)
seriously leaning towards the last one! gives me enough to either do siggy to nani, cisse to tevez/aguero or cisse to rooney next week
d) It's not advisable to take an extra hit for a defender, especially one in a side that I don't think will keep a clean sheet in either of their 2 games in the DGW.
thanks! that means i'm stuck playing enrique though as kelly is injured and i dont wanna play evans. you think enrique is 4pts better?
Have you no options that don't include at least an 8 point hit?
guess i could do sess and walcott to hba/pienaar (which one?) and vdv but then i wouldn't have enough funds to get nani or rooney in.
You won't want Nani or Rooney in if United beat City.
disagree, even if United beat City the title isn't secure. United will need to beat Swansea to guarantee it, Rooney will be essential IMO.
If United beat City only a point is needed from the last 2 games. Rooney maybe for his own personal motivation of the Golden Boot, Nani is either hot or cold. It could easily be another burning of extreme short-term loading of players ala City today. 'City players are essential against Wolves' they said.
If i wanna play it safe should i get bale instead of vdv? bale wouldnt get dropped?
touch and go. i'd say not, just.
Vorm
Kompany, Enrique, Vermaelen
Dempsey, Valencia, Bale, Siggy
RVP, Tevez, Cisse
Mignolet, McClean, Turner, Evans
A. McClean & Tevez > Pienaar & Jelevic
B. McClean & Tevez > VDV & Jelevic
C. Valencia & Tevez > Lampard > Jelevic
All are for a 4pt hit
Vorm
BAE, williamson, taylor
valencia, siggy, HBA, sessegnon, bale
jelavic, cisse, rvp
A. valencia > dempsey
B. valencia > pienaar
C. Sessegnon > dempsey
D.sessegnon > pienaar
I would say (in no particular order) Chelsea, Everton, Swansea, Sunderland
I have Friedel and even I wouldn't claim that spurs are likely to be one of the best defensive sides in GW36. 😀
Chelsea Spurs and Everton
Newcastle and Fulham are worth playing if you have them as they are playing teams that typically don't score a huge ammount.
ok folks, am hoping to get my DGW striker preview up before Thursday, but can't give you a guarantee at this point, but I will be up before DGW.
But Jelavic and Cisse
Job done. Save yourself the work 😀
I want it now. Damn you and your lazy incompetence 😉
just got more important priorities this week 😛
I'll sum up what to do for everyone. Have Cisse, Jelavic and whichever of Rooney/RVP/Tevez/Aguero you want to keep.
well I have Cisse, am getting Jelavic, so yeah that is the jist
But people still insist in buying the likes of Torres and Suarez, gotta help those poor souls out., help them see the error of their ways
two questions
enrique or kelly (which one?) + 4 or terry?
hba or pienaar?
Rafael or Jones to start next week ( not fpl wise I mean ) For me it has to be rafael despite his poor performance today he would be bette suited to Citys small Skillful players like Silva and Nasri. Jones for me is a bit to clumsy atm
Rafael, by process of elimination. Smalling hasn't been in the picture for too long to be considered otherwise he would have been likely to start a game like this given his form pre-injury. Rafael has outperformed Jones since then and today was just a blip, Fergie will make sure he won't succumb defensively like that next week. Rafael linking up with Valencia on the right has also been a prominent feature of our attacking play of late.
