The Knee Jerk – Sewn Up?

Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Mark

Has a stitched Wayne Rooney made things simple? Have we already got the template attacking lineup? Certainly Robin Van Persie’s goal, coupled with the injury to Rooney that looks to have sidelined him for a month, suggests that the source of attacking points at United is settled. Unless, of course, you’re committing to the slick trickery of Shinji Kagawa over Van Persie’s pure goal power.

City’s Carlos Tevez surely has another spot up front reserved for him and, while Fernando Torres is doing his upmost to cling to our affections, Eden Hazard’s irresistible form surely means that we have a preferred route to Chelsea’s flowing attacking points.

After just two weeks, a combination of Van Persie, Tevez and Hazard appears to give the very best coverage of potentially the three most potent teams in the league.

You can argue around this – Kagawa, Samir Nasri and Torres all offer the alternatives but, right now, while these words are typed, I’m struggling to see past this new holy trinity as the most powerful combination.

Throw in Michu, Steven Pienaar or Mauroanne Fellaini – perhaps dabble with Danny Graham up front while Swansea’s fixtures remain favourable, or even Emmanuel Adebayor to cover Tottenham’s attacking threat, and the template after Gameweek 2 begins to look solid.

As we discussed in the ScoutCast this week, there will be new names emerging that will threaten to break the ideas we have now but, in all honesty, it’s difficult to see Van Persie, Tevez and Hazard being anything other than season keepers; barring injury.

It can’t really be that simple and yet the twist of fate that saw Rooney first benched and then stretchered down the tunnel, almost rubber-stamped matters. There will surely be thousands scrambling for Van Perise, even more suitors for Hazard after another bout or returns from this evening’s victory. Meanwhile, Tevez has Liverpool in his sights tomorrow with a clear run of appearances while Sergio Aguero recuperates.

If you currently sit on all three, congratulations; please fight back the smugness. If you’ve none of the above, cling to the hope that there’s naivety in these words and that these power houses will falter. Either that, or scrub up for some serious squad surgery.

      He looked very good, despite a penchant for diving after minimal contact with a defender. Took his goal very well. Could be on his way back to the Torres of old; but that hasn't stopped me selling him though :-)

    Triggerlips, do you believe Ade is a good option for the attack instead of RVP(Kagawa for UTD cover)?

    1. ☆ Triggerlips ☆

      yes for sure , its what all the cool kids should be doing

      1. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL

        Thanx... So in your opinion the 3 forwards for next 5 weeks?

        Ade-Tev-Gra I guess?

        1. ☆ Triggerlips ☆

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          yes i think that probably best , or maybe even fletcher when the dgw announed.
          Im currently stuck with defoe as my third striker., however i dont mind for this week , as he should play some part against norwich

    2. RaspingDrive
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I only caught the last part of the game; he looked well off the pace. Spurs often have trouble battering the poorer teams at home (Wigan a few years ago excepted of course). I hope Ade will gain enough sharpness in training this week to do the business at the weekend. There is of course the risk that AVB may start him on the bench again.

      So in answer to your question, it's a big risk imo.

      But my name isn't Triggerlips :-D

        Thanx Rasping. Yes, I see your point. But RVP ruins all the team :(

        1. RaspingDrive
          • Reputation Level: Scout

          I know that feeling. I have gone down your suggested path, with Kagawa as United cover and Barndoor up front. Gives me the option of getting Hazard in the week after for either Bale or Cazorla.

          With Rooney out of the picture, for sure it will benefit RVP, but it will also do the same for Shinji. l

          1. Kerrazy

      People seem to think that Rafa, Kagawa and RvP will be the new winning combo.

      I'd go for Zab right now to spread the love.

      it's only GW2 and MCI will have a good run too.

      actually, a WC isn't really needed.

      Cole > Zab would be enough for GW3.

      Friedel
      Zab, Hange, Vidic
      Valencia, Bale, Pienaar, Michu
      RvP, Tevez, Graham

      that's very good.

    Not picking up RVP sorry. I went with Pienaar and Jags in instead. RVP and united can still prove me wrong, but there are other ways to pick up more points than solely spending 13 on RVP...

    Thoughts on Adebayor/spurs coverage, with the way their results have gone, do you think it might be a bit risky to invest at the moment, they desperately need to win their next few which leads me to think AVB might scrounge out 1-0 wins at all costs. Bringing in Adebayor I'd like to imagine they start getting back to hammering sides but AVB seems a really stubborn conservative manager, to his detriment at times. Plus I suppose Spurs have a wealth of attacking options...I'm not convinced on The Ade option just yet.

    1. futbolnotsoccer
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I pity the people transferring out the likes of Gareth Bale or Adebayor out for RVP...Tottenham have great fixtures and their spark will catch soon enough.

      1. thegaffer82
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Dont know why you have so much confidence in Adebayor. He's a hot and cold player whereas RVP will continue scoring for fun most weeks once he's settled into the Utd team. He should thrive with such creative talents around him

        1. futbolnotsoccer
          • Reputation Level: Scout

          If SAF gets his midfield straight. Kagawa(Valencia)/RVP can surely be the next Hazard/Torres combo, to be honest RVP did nothing other than the goal. I'm not completely writing him off, just that United need to fall into form first.

        2. Manamongst
          • Reputation Level: Scout

          this.

          I have the liberty of switching Jags to Zab or Cashley to Cuellar, and downgrade Bale to upgrade Graham to RVP if need be. However, with this squad, I don't think RVP is necessary for me atm. Great team btw, lots of potential.

      nahh team looks pretty solid. you should be looking to make AT LEAST 5-6 changes if you're gunna wc. 4 changes can be solved with 2 hits over 2 weeks or 1 hit over 3 weeks.

      and if you're on wc i'd look to get hazard, and baines, and downgrade hangeland to hughes for extra .5

      but i think you can easily sort it by doing valencia to kagawa this week, bale to hazard next week and then go from there

    Which is the best?
    a) Harte -> Rangel
    b) A.Cole to Baines

    Anyone think Hazard will surpass the 10.0 mark by Friday week??! Seems insane but people are already moving him in and taking the hit on the blank game week, so imagine the amount of people that'll bring him in the following week when they're gonna be up against QPR.....

    Hey guys!

    New to this FF and was looking for people to beat at FF. Played the Sky one previously but now focusing on this (after reading the scouts articles).

    League code is: 149644-462167

    But please only join if you want to lose :-D

    So, I've played my WildCard after waking up and being uncontrollably pissed at Lescott and Sceszney not playing overnight.

    My new team looks like this:

    Friedal, Jaskaleinen
    Zabaleta, Ivanovic, Jenkinson, Rangel, Demel
    Hazard, Kagawa, Toure, Dyer, Kacaniklic
    RVP, Tevez, Graham

    Decided to get on board the RVP-wagon, mainly due to the plethora of bargain-basement defensive options at the moment. Also may well end up opting or El Ahmadi over Kac.

    I figure Zabaleta looks relatively safe at the moment, at a bare minimum for a month or so till Richards comes back, and quite possibly longer.

    Initially bought Vorm into the lineup, but Friedal and Rangel offered the best pathway into both Swansea and Spurs defensive returns (which will hopefully be fruitful..)

    Jenkinson will do me in the short-term. Hopefully will make some money to use a double trade and upgrade him in a month's time once Sagna is back. Demel was a bit of a coin toss, but seems to be one of two best 4.0 options.

    Missed the Michu bangwagon last week and opted for Dyer instead, I'll stick with him going forward.

    I had Torres prior to pulling the trigger on the WC, but think RVP, Tevez and Graham is a pretty gun combination up front.

    Any comments/criticism would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding my keeper combo and defensive selections.

      Not sure if I personally would put in Jenkinson atm. You may find he only plays one game and Sagna comes back after the International break.
      Throw in a possible new right back at Chelsea and Richards returning to fitness around the same time, you may find yourself with a few defensive headaches.

      How about Raphael instead of Ivan? Would allow you to upgrade jenkinson to Sagna in future and catch Jenkinson price rise???

      Love the front 8 btw :)

    Vorm (Federici)
    Kompany Hangeland Taylor S (Ivanovic Gorkss)
    Michu (Hazard) Cazorla Larsson Toure
    Tevez (Pog) Defoe
    Players in brackets dont have fixtures.

    Any knee jerks?? Was planning Hazard > Kagawa for this week and then Cazorla > Hazard the next GW.

    Thnx guys!! :D

“I am happy with the way I’ve started, but on the other hand, I should have scored four or five more, so that’s something for me to work on.”
