The Stock Check – Gameweek 4 – Saturday Part Two

Filed under: The Stock Check - Posted by: Mark

A Stadium of Light stalemate brings the day’s proceedings to a close as Liverpool’s dominance fails to deliver a much-needed three points for Brendan Rodgers. Here’s part two of the Stock Check…

On the Up

Steven Fletcher
Three efforts on goal, all converted. Martin O’Neill’s money looks well spent as the former Wolves man proves that, if you can keep him fed, he will deliver top flight goals. Only the Berbatov bandwagon will tame interest in Fletcher over the next few weeks.

Luis Suarez
The Uruguayan still commands over 9% ownership in the Fantasy Premier League game and this evening’s goal, on a day when the other big players faltered, will provide great comfort for those who have kept faith.

Raheem Sterling
Outstanding again on the Liverpool right flank, capped by an assist, the young winger looks to be cementing a starting role and, with a rock bottom price tag, will surely begin to harvest further Fantasy owners in the coming weeks.

Glen Johnson
Shifted to the left-back role, Johnson pushed on as Luis Suarez tucked inside and was a constant attacking threat. If Liverpool can start delivering clean sheets, Johnson could shape up to be a useful differential punt.

Going Down

Carlos Cuellar
The most popular option in the Black Cats’ defence was subbed at half-time with a reported hamstring injury. We await the prognosis. A spell on the sidelines would be a concern, particularly with Martin O’Neill’s defensive options likely to increase with the return of Phil Bardsley and Wes Brown.

Steven Gerrard
Deployed in a deeper role, Gerrard saw a lot of the ball but not in areas that can deliver Fantasy returns. Gerrard, along with David Silva and Gareth Bale, has failed to deliver on his price tag thus far and today’s showing provided little encouragement.

    What do you think should be my first priority with my 1FT this week:

    Al Habsi (FUL) jaask (SUN)
    boyce (FUL) Terry(STO) Lescott (ARS) Collins (SUN) fabio
    Hazard (STO) Pienaar (swa) Barfa (NOR) Kagawa (liv) McClean (whm)
    Tevez (ARS) Pog (wba) Giroud (mci)

    Giroud > 8.8 or less striker
    Lescott > cheaper defender
    Kagawa/McClean > Morrison

    Hazard falling under the sheer physical weight & presence of SWP. Roight.

    Cuellar I Demel I Zaba I Gorkss I Saylor

    Michu I Hazard I Santi I Kagawa I Guthrie

    Petric I RVP I Tevez

    .7 in the bank.

    .1 short to get Berba for Petric straight up. Decided on taking -4

    How does Kag & Petric -> Berba & HBA look? Any other suggestions? Thanks

      Fletcher is better than Berbs GW5 and 6
      GW7 Fulham brightens up
      But I could be wrong

    de Gea / Cerny
    Zabaleta / Rangel / Jenkinson / Demel / Gorkss
    Yaya Toure /Bale / Hazard / Michu / Kacaniklic

    Hi all,

    Before this week end, i was unsure of the situation (ok Arsenal had a potential easy game but followed by two more difficults - same can be said for Man U), plus Champions league rotation coming up, plus injuries.
    My conclusion no transfer for GW4 and hope for the best.

    I would appreciate any ideas how to improve my team...

    Federici injured:-( - Jaaskelainen
    Hangeland Baines Pearce McCartney (need of a change) Clyne
    Lallana (like him) Bale Kagawa Michu Kacaniklic
    Pog Tevez Torres

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”
