The Stock Check – Gameweek 9 – Saturday Part Two
Filed under: The Stock Check - Posted by: Paul
A less than impressive City scramble past Swansea thanks to a moment of inspiration from Carlos Tevez in the longest game in Premier League history. For many of us watching, it felt like it, too:
Going Up
Carlos Tevez
Having failed to score in the last four Gameweeks, the Argentine has been deserted by plenty Fantasy managers after impressing in the first few matches. Shifted to a deeper role at half-time, with Mario Balotelli coming on to lead the line, Tevez’s fine strike from distance was enough to secure the points for a disjointed home side.
City Defensive Resolve
The 1-0 win earned a second successive home clean sheet for Roberto Mancini’s men. They have now conceded just once in the last three but their injury problems at right-back look like continuing – Micah Richards seems to have sustained a knee injury and could be set to join Pablo Zabaleta and Maicon on the sidelines; Kolo Toure may earn a rare spell in the first XI as a result.
Going Down
Michel Vorm
The Dutchman has been such a key figure for Swansea since joining prior to the start of last season but, having injured his groin while attempting to save Tevez’s strike, he may well be unavailable for Michael Laudrup’s side. Gerhard Tremmel – priced at 4.0 in FPL – looks the man to benefit.
Joleon Lescott
Granted, the centre-half had been dropped for two league games prior to this evening but both had been on the road. Lescott had played every minute at the Etihad, with Mancini seemingly keen on him alongside Vincent Kompany at home but the former Everton man clearly has a real rival in Matija Nastasic. Lescott was handed a seven minute sub appearance deep into the 12 minutes of time added on, handing his Fantasy owners a one point return.
Nathan Dyer
The winger was benched for the second game running, with Pablo Hernandez again preferred on the right. Dyer had previously started six of Swansea’s first seven but the Spaniard seems to now be slotting into Michael Laudrup’s system at his expense – a big worry for Dyer’s 18% FPL owners.
Scott Sinclair
The showdown with his former club looked tailor-made for Sinclair to make his first start since Gameweek 4 but he once again warmed the bench, with Mancini clearly far from convinced by his abilities. This time last term both he and Dyer were nailed-on under Brendan Rodgers for the Swans – now both look peripheral figures under their new managers.

@ Wild Rover- Differentials like Jelly or maybe even Silva will stay differs for a while. Mainly because they are not top of the total points table so casuals wont get them
Look at Jelly- still under 10% I think.
October 28 at 9:33 am
Hutton dressed as Lahm AKA Yaya Banana says:
Jelly looks good for 4 games
October 28 at 9:28 am
Dr. Ex says:
Another quick question for the masses;
Who to score more for Evertons good run of SUN, rdg, NOR? Pienaar or Jelavic?
October 28 at 9:28 am
Syd says:
Duncan Ferguson
October 28 at 9:30 am
Hutton dressed as Lahm AKA Yaya Banana says:
Fellaini.
October 28 at 9:31 am
Jackoffasaur says:
Jelavic, but I don’t think that’s how you should look at it.
October 28 at 9:33 am
Dr. Ex says:
I know the comparison is a bit off centre, no one in my ML owns Jelly at the moment, thinking of a Giroud switch.
October 28 at 9:36 am
Jackoffasaur says:
If it is Giroud you’re ditching then go for it.
But I’d look at it more as Pienaar + A forward vs Jelavic + Midfielder.
October 28 at 9:34 am
heartsattack says:
Jelavic
October 28 at 9:28 am
Hutton dressed as Lahm AKA Yaya Banana says:
Damn, .3 short of Cazorla to Bale
Pointless getting Lennon right??
Begovic
Huth Saylor Baines
Hazard Cazorla Michu Fellaini
Berbatov Tevez Suarez
Tremmel Hba Clyne Gunter

Another shocker for me with last minute change of (C) from BA to Aguero
Seems like I cant get (C) right at all!
October 28 at 9:30 am
Kerrazy says:
unlucky to not get that Stoke’s Cleanie points huh..
October 28 at 9:34 am
Gr3g says:
Oh yes, that transfer didn’t turn out well!!
October 28 at 9:32 am
seantbn says:
i wouldnt worry , i’ve got ba (c) and i never get it right !
October 28 at 9:42 am
Hutton dressed as Lahm AKA Yaya Banana says:
I never get my (c) right either
October 28 at 9:42 am
Lanley Staurel says:
Same here. Did Aguero. Thought I’d had a bad week too till I saw the average! However only got Ba, Baines and Sterling today so it could be a car crash for me today….
October 28 at 9:48 am
Gr3g says:
Think you might get 4x cleanie! Nice!

i want to shipout nolan a good replacement 1.2bank
October 28 at 9:48 am
Giggs Boson says:
Wow. I like Nolan, despite his fixtures, but Morrison/Walters/Michu are good picks. And lay off the crack ok?
October 28 at 9:30 am
Jackoffasaur says:
Guthrie > Sterling for free is a no-brainer for me. If Berbatov is out then Sterling steps in. Also leaves 1M+ to upgrade Clyne and Gunter to Wisdom/Hughes/Baird/Cuellar/Cameron over the next couple of weeks.
Alternatively I could bring in Tevez for (-4) but I’d suggest members to compare Berbatov and Tevez if anyone is interested.
October 28 at 9:34 am
Hutton dressed as Lahm AKA Yaya Banana says:
What’s going on with Gunter??
It’s not like Reading are defending well!!
October 28 at 9:35 am
Jackoffasaur says:
Cummings now preferred. Even if Gunter were fit I wouldn’t be keeping, Reading are awful.
October 28 at 9:43 am
Hutton dressed as Lahm AKA Yaya Banana says:
Those fixtures are tempting though
October 28 at 9:37 am
Kerrazy says:
agreed with what you said earlier on my last post. atleast it’s better than Barnett(who’s not playing nowadays right?)
October 28 at 9:39 am
Jackoffasaur says:
Doesn’t seem like it!
October 28 at 9:31 am
benzieyeah says:
Nolan owners. Are you going to keep through the tough fixtures or sell? I’m seriously considering Morrison
October 28 at 9:38 am
Jafooli says:
Even thinking Mcanuff (who rotates with Sterling) to free up cash for three big m/fs. With RVP, Tevez and Ba up front……
October 28 at 9:34 am
Jackoffasaur says:
Oh, and I just looked into Swansea’s fixtured properly…why the hell did I sell Michu? Although it was 4 weeks ago…the fixtures aren’t even that bad;
CHE sot new LIV WBA ars NOR
Ahh well, at least I got Fellaini (3 points in 2 weeks) and then switched to Pienaar (-1 in 2 weeks)
Woohoo
October 28 at 9:36 am
Giggs Boson says:
I planned to get him back for Southampton weeks and weeks ago, but his price hasn’t dropped like i thought it would
October 28 at 9:38 am
Jackoffasaur says:
GW14 – Pienaar ARS mci TOT, Michu WBA ars NOR
October 28 at 9:40 am
Giggs Boson says:
Ouch, i got Fellaini for him a while ago, but he’s changed to Bale since then.
October 28 at 9:42 am
Jackoffasaur says:
Ooohh unlucky (c) choice!
I was thinking I’d get a sneaky Davies CS off the bench for a while there
October 28 at 9:45 am
Giggs Boson says:
Yeah, i was sure he’d start and i was sure City would get a CS. Ended up being a bad pick though
October 28 at 9:39 am
ThreeAtTheBack says:
Even last night he was on fire and that’s the sort of fixture you’d bench most players. Definitely a keeper for now.
October 28 at 9:40 am
Jackoffasaur says:
For sure, I wouldn’t buy him yet but I would definitely keep him if I had him.
October 28 at 9:40 am
ThreeAtTheBack says:
I actually sold him on a WC then bought him again losing 0.4 but it was worth it
October 28 at 9:35 am
Hibs Kid says:
Typical bad luck for me, my two transfers I used yesterday we’re transferring in Wilson who got 1 point and went off injured and crouch who only got me 1 point. Looks like it could be another terrible week for me
October 28 at 9:37 am
Spike says:
Tough luck with Wilson and just to add salt into the wound (not a pun) he went up in value last night

0.7m in the bank, 1FT, team linked (already have Santi, no Chelsk cover). Would you do
(A) Gervinho to Oscar and bank 0.4m
(B) Gervinho to Oscar and Kolrov to Cameron and bank 2.0m
(C) Gervinho to Oscar and Kolarov to a defender 6.2m or under
(D) Gervinho to Mata and Kolarov to Cameron for -4 and bank 0.3m
(E) Other

Im thinking my self of Walcott punt starting GW11, probably Santi to Walcott. Ramsey total flop on that right wing!
October 28 at 1:00 pm
Manamongst says:
it was a flop before it happened. Don’t know what wenger was thinking…he stuffed him on the left last season…to similar effect.
October 28 at 9:37 am
Mind over Mata says:
Is Berbs likely to be playing with a broken rib. I remember Terry doing it.
October 28 at 9:38 am
Jackoffasaur says:
We don’t know if it’s broken yet.
October 28 at 9:40 am
Mind over Mata says:
True. Seriously hope not.
October 28 at 9:39 am
Giggs Boson says:
Because Terry did it, i guess he now has to play, otherwise risk being called a fe*cking wuss.
October 28 at 9:39 am
iCon says:
I’ve done it a number of times; physically there’s no issue. The problem is the risk of breaking another rib is much higher as the whole area is weakened and with that the risk of internal damage – well so says my doc
October 28 at 9:43 am
Jafooli says:
And puncturing a lung…….
October 28 at 9:40 am
Wings of Steel says:
Thing is a broken rib hurts most when you breathe which he normally only does twice in 90 minutes.So i reckon he will

Also if it was that bad he’d have come off at HT

inhaling/laughing/coughing is a biyatch…
October 28 at 9:41 am
Old School says:
having had some experience with damage to ribs.. the hospital said to me… we will not xray as there is no point and my lungs were intact. if it’s bruised it will hurt for a month, if it’s cracked it will be 2 months, if it’s broken it will take three months.. needless to say it took me three months and I can assure u if he has broken it… no way of telling yet he will not play… even if it’s bruised I would imagine he will be rested
October 28 at 9:42 am
Giggs Boson says:
Are you Facer?
October 28 at 9:44 am
Old School says:
no but I’m in the top 3 of his league… does that count
October 28 at 9:46 am
Old School says:
actually just checked and I’m top
October 28 at 9:46 am
Giggs Boson says:
Nice one
October 28 at 9:47 am
ThreeAtTheBack says:
Even if he does are people not worrying about this second injury after just a couple I weeks back? I’m not sure about an injury-prone Berba in my squad
October 28 at 9:50 am
Mind over Mata says:
Injury prone but mentally tough. But yes, if he is out again I think I’ll get rid. Can’t think who in that price range I’d go for.

REPOST
team is as follows:
foster begovic
baines cuellar clyne WILSON DEMEL
sterling bale caz nolan michu
rvp ba BERBA
i have 1ft and 2.8m in bank. initial plan was one change nolan to mata with 0.0m in the bank. mata will probably rise tonight so i will need to act quick.
what would you do with this team if you was in my position? still do nolan to mata or wait on BERBA,DEMEL,WILSON????
another worry is other injuries popping up and even michu playing midweek and getting booked hence missing weekend match.
your thoughts???????
October 28 at 9:42 am
JohnRoss says:
I think sterling is your biggest problem points wise. Keep nolan.
October 28 at 9:43 am

i just bought in sterling this week as a cheap 5th mid. nolan has tough fixtures

you see the sitter he missed…essentially a penalty shot.
October 28 at 9:44 am
Lanley Staurel says:
I was warned not up get Walters but ignored said advice. Looks like Ethers may take his place. Is Crouch worth a look or should I just stick to Stoke defence and avoid their attack.

Lateriser12 - "I am a consulting detective. The only one in the world" says:
Can i just say, this Rooney midfield talk is absolute bollocks. He will play deep if at all only in the games against stronger opposition. Also, he wont keep staying deep. Rooney RVP and Welbs/Chicha will keep interchanging positions in a dynamic formation. No RVP is not the top end of the attack, neither is Rooney. They keep changing positions.
Against the weaker teams, Post GW11, Rooney will play up top. He is a top FPL option. If you are worried, don’t be. Get him.
October 28 at 1:13 pm
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter says:
While I think you’re coming out a little too certain I broadly agree. The motivation for Rooney to come deep is to help out with the numbers in midfield hence the increased need against stronger teams. There is a lot of fluidity in his position and he usually drops back to the halfway line to get the ball, distributes and moves back up. I do think his average position will be comfortably behind RVP over the season though because he will be doing this so much more and he has a strong trend of supplying RVP already.

Guys any comments or suggestion on my team? Wildcard is on!
Thinking of transferring Rooney out but i can’t shake the feeling that he’ll perform this week!
