The Suspension Tightrope – Quiet
Filed under: Suspensions - Posted by: Anorak
With no red cards shown in the fixtures this week, we’d a sparse looking inbox in terms of suspensions, but never fear – there are still some tidbits to throw your way, as the tightrope continues to creak under a heavy load.
Easing that load on Saturday, and perhaps the highest profile of those newly banned for next weekend, Chris Baird is the first to take our interest. Booked for protesting the injury time penalty award for Arsenal at the Emirates, the Northern Irishman had his pain immediately eased by the outstanding glovework of his goalkeeper but a ban still follows; he’ll be absent for the visit of Sunderland next Sunday, with Mahamadou Diarra the obvious replacement should he regain his fitness.
Also doing their bit to free up space on the sidebar widget were Stoke City’s Dean Whitehead and Sunderland’s Craig Gardner, both falling foul of the referee for the fifth time this season in their respective second halves against QPR and Everton. While Gardner will now accompany Baird in the stands at Craven Cottage, Whitehead will be missing a tricky trip to the Boleyn Ground, as the Potters face an in-form West Ham.
Replacing those three unbalanced folk up on the high wire this week we have a former Galactico in the shape of Esteban Granero, and a man capped by France at every age group level (though with the notable exception of the seniors) in Morgan Schneiderlin. Grabbing Southampton’s goal in a 1-1 draw with Swansea which lifted his side off the foot of the table, Schneiderlin also picked up his fourth yellow for unsporting behaviour. The Saints were replaced at the bottom by the QPR side of ‘El Pirata’ Granero, who picked up his censure in the final throws of their latest defeat.
Finally in our round up, it’s the old timers, with Cheick Tioté completing his three-match ban this week to be available for the Gameweek 12 shakeup; he waved goodbye to teammate Fabricio Coloccini who will sit out his second game of three, and QPR’s Stéphane M’Bia serving the last of his trio of enforced absences.

November 12 at 4:57 pm
ScoutCast not pearls before swine says:
I would wait a week and then go with Aguero. I think Tevez has a better chance to start this week but Aguero I think Aguero will become the best fantasy striking option in the game very shortly.

am i mad playing 3 defenders with away matches?
ivanovic – rafael – baines and benching Nelson (SOU H) and Simpson (SWA H)
if so, what three defenders would you play?
November 12 at 4:43 pm
Cock Soccer says:
No. Play those three
November 12 at 4:48 pm
Aliminator says:
Thats the problem with having 3 heavy hitters at the back, if you’re not willing to play more than 3 at the back it mars the concept of rotation.However, with QPR being unable to shut out against anyone and Simpson not guaranteed the 90 ,you can play those 3.

Massive, massive Sunday fail.
The good news is, I have 2.0 to fix this lot.
Bego, McCarthy
Baines, Rafael, Gorkss, Wilson, Hughes
Bale, Fellaini, HBA, Walters, Sterling
RVP, Ba, Berbs
I’m thinking HBA to Silva maybe? Then Walters to a Sunderland midfielder for in time for their good fixtures and DGW.
November 12 at 4:47 pm
roscola says:
54pts and a green arrow is a fail?
Yeah, HBA to Silva makes sense but I’d really want to see a lot more evidence of Sunderland having turned an attacking corner before I invested. This DGW is Fantasy Fool’s Gold IMO.
November 12 at 4:49 pm
Triggalicious says:
All of those points came on the Saturday, the Sunday was the fail
I’m just putting some cover in for Sunderland as insurance really, I’m not overinvesting! I do agree though, I hope some in my ML have to put up with 3 Sunderland and 3 Reading players for the Christmas period!
November 12 at 4:56 pm
roscola says:
Ah, I see. Yeah, my rival last year jumped all over every DGW going. I made up lots of points that way and eventually beat him. I’m hoping he does the same this year

Bloody hell, by next GW I’ll have spent 20 points on transfers. Never ever spent this much!
What are people’s thoughts on Jelavic > Ruiz + Suarez > RvP (Captaining the right player is starting to become a problem and I know this would make it so much easier).
it would be next week and it would cost me 4 points.
Yay or Nay?
November 12 at 4:52 pm
fantasykid says:
I reckon Jelavic + Suarez aint that bad considering their next couple of fixtures, To not have RVP will definitely haunt you in the long term, but, as of now, You definitely dont need a hit to ship them out

November 12 at 4:52 pm
shegull says:
There is more kneejerking and taking hits than ever before on FFS this season imo. I’ve made total -4 hits and never used my wildcard, still doing well(25k). Never had Michu or Hazard.
The massive shipping out of Bale, Cazorla and Tevez this week is another example of this madness. People should hold and wait more.
November 12 at 4:59 pm
Digable Planets says:
I do get what you’re saying, but most of the hits I’ve made have easily paid off, hence my rank at the moment.
I think it’s just 2 different approaches. Both can work and by the same token both can go wrong.
It’s about judgment.
November 12 at 5:22 pm
athevroy says:
You haven’t made many transfers though. 4 4 pointers isn’t a bad thing. I am seeing people taking 12 point hits though and that rarely pays off…
November 12 at 5:24 pm
MarkEstute says:
I’ve always thought hits a waste of points, but judging by your rank I might have to reasses my strategy. Well done.
November 12 at 5:21 pm
athevroy says:
Been saying this all season. People seem to be going mad with the price rises. It’s the points that count. I’ve done less transfers than I usually do and kept faith in my squad and it has definately paid off.
November 12 at 5:23 pm
No1Joker says:
I’ve always played the value game for the first third of the season. It normally means you get a team value of 6-8 m above rivals, which is a really good player.
November 12 at 5:26 pm
athevroy says:
Disagree. It’s about predicting which players will do well in the future. Not Knee-jerking in players because they’ve had a good gameweek and your looking to gain some value.
If you stay ahead of the game and pick the right players, team value will come naturally and you rake in the points. Easier said than done, but I still believe it’s silly to transfer in players only because you are looking to gain value

work it out by his goals per game ratio and the look at the fixtures. Why? you want to have a bet on it?
November 12 at 4:51 pm

I always looked at goalscoring records in the past, and wondered how on Earth they achieved it. It’s by scoring at least one goal in every game, like Messi does now! I’d back him to beat it.

I really wish Rafael wouldn’t have a price rise this week, So, i could do
)
Ivanovic + Morrison -> Rafael + Walcott
I already did Tevez -> Berbatov yesterday (After the price rise
My question being, Can Walcott cement his starting XI place?
November 12 at 5:01 pm
The Shadow says:
While at most teams, injuries before internationals tend to be fake, at Arsenal those injuries tend to be real. I’m not convinced Walcott isn’t really injured.
November 12 at 5:04 pm
fantasykid says:
Sweet, I really dont understand why the gaffer would leave a talent like Walcott on the bench, I know its about the whole contract thing associated with him, But i really wish Theo starts every single week ( barring his injuries )
November 12 at 5:30 pm

Yeah Rafael is really giving me some problems. I think Walcott can cement his place. Of course, there are factors to consider, especially the contract problems and his potential injury.

He’s risen .2 this week, should have another .1 in a day or two.
November 12 at 5:05 pm

0.3 rise per week, rather than per gameweek then? That would make sense, as I thought he had only gone up by 0.2 this gameweek.
November 12 at 5:09 pm
roscola says:
Per gameweek. During the international breaks, the max rise was still 0.3
November 12 at 5:10 pm

He’s only risen by 0.2 so far so there’s no reason he won’t rise again. If you’ve missed the boat this week then I’d just wait until Saturday morning now.

Some help needed with my FT please
Which of those would you do?
A) Tevez >Suarez
B) Cazorla > Mata
C) Cazorla > Silva
D) Tevez + Cazorla > Suarez + SIlva/Mata ( -4 pt)
If i get Tevez out I will have no City coverage but i think after last game, Tevez will be starting on the bench.
November 12 at 5:08 pm
cassanata says:
tough one mate. I would lean towards B but with Mata off in Panama mid week hard to know. I’d save it probably.
November 12 at 5:11 pm

What do you think?
A Routledge -> Nolan
B Tevez -> Suarez
A+B for a hit?

or would you do something else?
November 12 at 5:08 pm
Desertbug says:
Can anyone reassure me that I’m fine staying with Pienaar this week instead of taking a -4 to change him to Fellaini? Was planning on freeing money this week by Hernandez>Maloney, but at this pace, I’m not sure I will be able to afford waiting another week to bring in the Belgian Fright Wig.
November 12 at 5:13 pm
thetinkerman says:
Let’s just say you take the hit. You would need Fellaini to outscore Pie by 4 points in the next couple of gameweeks. Considering he’s going to sit one soon I’d hold on until A) you’ve got a free trannie or B) Fellaini has served his ban.
November 12 at 5:13 pm
fantasykid says:
Well, its a tough call, I was a Pienaar owner myself until a week ago, Just had to do Pienaar -> Fellaini, just like i did Hazard -> Mata a few weeks before, I know what makes you hold back, its probably the suspension rope dangling on the Big Belgian’s head, But you gotta press the trigger now before the inevitable price rise
November 12 at 5:15 pm
thetinkerman says:
He’s already risen by £0.2m so he can only go up a maximum of £0.1m from now until Sunday morning. Since it’s a 4 point hit and there are internationals to be played, surely waiting until Saturday morning would be wiser?
November 12 at 5:19 pm
Desertbug says:
Probably what I’m going to do at this point. I’ll still be able to afford that swap, even when he goes up to 7.5. I’ve probably been overly knee-jerky in the first half of the season to catch on to price rises and build some team value but it has cost me more than I wanted in terms of hits.
Squad is in a decent shape at present so I need to chill and wait, I think.
Thanks for thoughts.
November 12 at 5:21 pm
fantasykid says:
Oh sorry, didn’t realise he rose by 0.2, In all fairness, your thoughts are constructive, Playing the waiting game till Sunday is definitely wiser.
November 12 at 5:28 pm
Desertbug says:
Oh, I’ll only be waiting until Saturday, if I make the move. Everton play on Saturday and after BFW (Belgian Fright Wig (registered trademark, btw)) notches another dozen points, he’ll have gone up another 0.1 on Saturday eve.
November 12 at 5:18 pm
Malcolm Tucker for England Manager says:
Stick with peanut. Jelly will be taking some of the goals off Fellaini soon so they’ll be similar in points (or so i keep telling myself)
November 12 at 5:20 pm
thetinkerman says:
Not sure about that! Agree sticking with Pie isn’t a bad decision but not that Jelly will somehow steal Fellaini’s points.
November 12 at 5:24 pm
Malcolm Tucker for England Manager says:
At the moment Fellaini is the main goal threat. When we get a lead and Moyes is comfortable with Jelly i think you may see Fellaini dropping a touch deeper in games to sure things up. The United game was a sort of example of it. Fellaini avoided Vidic until we scored, then followed him around afterwards to negate any attacking threat he had as we were holding the lead. Agreed this won’t be always, but he jelly puts us two up Fellaini won’t be needed as far up top and defensive duties will call
November 12 at 5:27 pm
Gork$$unreal says:
Interesting observation mate, I can totally see how that would be the case in matches. And it makes sense as the last two were games they didn’t have much control over so needed Fellaini to get up there and do the business.
November 12 at 5:31 pm
Malcolm Tucker for England Manager says:
It’s the United match that sticks in the mind because of the Vidic scenario i mentioned. I just think once jelly starts converting Everton will turn domination to goals (hopefully) and Moyes naturally cautious approach will be to hold the lead and hit on the break, thus making Fellaini less offensive as matches go on.
November 12 at 5:20 pm
Desertbug says:
Thanks,
I like my Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich at the moment, but could use a bit more Peanut (and more Jelly… yes, I’m greedy… I want ALL the points)

Is it worth swapping Hazard out for -4? If so for Mata or Silva? (If Silva I would have no Chelsea players).

November 12 at 5:15 pm
fredwestham says:
No not for -4
November 12 at 5:16 pm
Malcolm Tucker for England Manager says:
I fear i may have jerked my knee so hard that I’ve smashed myself in the face and broken something!
Swapped Carzola for Silva on tin basis that he’s back and will make City tick. Problem is i am now thinking he’ll make them tick, but will be a pivot behind the front man and end up assisting the assists. Basically worried he’ll be helping the others score points whilst getting 2 points weekly as my only city cover.
Am i worried over nothing or should i look at backing out now?
November 12 at 5:18 pm
thetinkerman says:
Silva is the kind of player who will steadily pick up assists over the season. He’ll also “assist the assist”.
I’m in no rush to do Cazorla > Silva but I might in a couple of weeks, especially if/when I sell Tevez.
November 12 at 5:19 pm
Triggalicious says:
Silva seemed to do okay for assists last season!
I’m thinking of getting Silva in for HBA, so please don’t talk me out of it
November 12 at 5:20 pm
Herr Vets - Die Rothosen says:
I wouldn’t worry. Silva is back, as long as he stay fit he’ll do fine 180+ pts last season.
November 12 at 5:18 pm

Not sure about Baines tbh. He’s got 2 good fixtures but hasn’t been raking in the points, consistent but not explosive.

I’m assuming that most people have been swayed more by price rises this season?
I’ve got 102.7 to spend now in real terms (team value 104.7), which I’m sure will help as the season goes on.
You probably can’t afford to ignore too many bandwagon’s even if you don’t necissarily agree with them, because your team value will suffer and it will limit you later on in the campaign.
It’s a pretty serious flaw IMO. Perhaps there should be a floor/ceiling to stop the swings being so influential?

That formula helped me into top 2500 last year. Feel like I’ve been stumbling this year, but maybe finally have squad to shift into gear.
