The Stock Check – Gameweek 6 – Monday
Filed under: The Stock Check - Posted by: Mark
First half strikes from Matt Jarvis and Ricardo Vaz Te are enough to earn the Hammers a first away win and leave QPR adrift at the bottom of the table. Here’s the Stock Check from Monday’s Gameweek finale…
On the Up
Adel Taarabt
Back to fitness and back in favour, Taarabt found his way onto the R’s bench and entered the action to drag Mark Hughes’ side back into the game. His goal was sublime and unstoppable, his touch and creativity also eye-catching. If only he could cement a regular starting role, he’d be QPR’s one major Fantasy asset.
Andy Carroll
On the bench after recovering early from a hamstring injury, Carroll was introduced for Carlton Cole midway through the second half and, despite Cole’s work rate, the Geordie will surely replace him in the lineup when Arsenal pay visit this weekend. Kevin Nolan and company will be delighted. Arsene Wenger won’t be.
Ricardo Vaz Te
Those Fantasy managers searching for a budget option in attack could do well to consider the Portuguese striker who claimed his first goal of the season to accompany two assists so far. Yossi Benayoun will threaten his starting role but Vaz Te is doing enough to warrant his start right now.
Jussi Jaaskaleinen
Denied a clean sheet by Taarabt’s wonder strike, the Finnish stopper nonetheless impressed with a string of saves to offer a reminder as to his value in the budget keeper bracket.
Going Down
Winston Reid
Forced off in the first-half, the Kiwi defender suffered concussion and could therefore be a doubt for the weekend. West Ham have an able replacement in James Tomkins and Reid’s growing Fantasy ownership (12.5% in the FPL) will be monitoring news from the Hammers camp with interest. A clean sheet against the Gunners would seem unlikely but Tomkins will be looking to make a firm claim for a starting role if he’s given the opportunity.
Mark Noble
His performances are strong but his Fantasy returns are lacking. Noble’s reliance on set-pieces has yet to pay dividends and patience appears to be wearing thin. With the likes of Raheem Sterling offering a decent prospect in the budget bracket, Noble’s ownership continues to diminish.

“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.”

Advice on what to do next please guys?
Was planning on sorting Fabio out, but is something more drastic in order?
October 2 at 9:20 am
Spencer says:
Currently on the following for the weekend.
Jaaskelainen
Baines – Cuellar – Rangel
Yaya – Michu – Pienaar – Hazard
Berbatov – Van Persie – Suarez
Federici – Kacaniklic – Hangeland – Fabio

Should I be keeping an eye on anything else to change with this team before the weekend, other than Tevez if he starts in the Champions League?
Foster (Begovic)
Cole Baines Hughes (Demel) (Cuellar)
Bale (c) Nolan Pienaar Michu (Guthrie)
Podolski Tevez RVP (vc)
Thanks for any replies!

After Norwich Chelsea’s fixtures are bad though. I think *having* Chelsea attack is risky

Play Demel. Hughes will concede.

Arsenal are less likely to score than Southampton imo. I agree with Christina.
October 2 at 9:17 am
goonerbyron says:
Really..?
October 2 at 9:20 am
Giggs Boson says:
Fulham have a terrible away record and Southampton will score at home. Arsenal’s attack hasn’t fully gelled yet and West Ham and very stubborn to break down at home. No brainer for me.
October 2 at 9:11 am
goonerbyron says:
I’d be much more confident of Fulham keeping a cleany than West Ham this week

Is Kyle Naughton going to be one week away for the rest of the season? My mostly bargain-bin defence is deffo not working, but I’d rather be sorting out my Garcia kneejerk.
October 2 at 9:11 am
Old School says:
you have garcia and Naughton and are in the top 70K.. I would say that’s a pretty decent effort…
take a hit to get rid of both

October 2 at 9:27 am

C is bad for the next few weeks fixtures (if you can avoid Tevez rotation panic).
D is bad for this GW, but makes sense after that.

One week punt before WC time and I’m thinking of doing Tevez > Torres. Reckon Norwich will ship plenty of goals at Stamford Bridge and Fernando will do some damage. Good move?
