The Stock Check – Sunday
Filed under: Scout Notes, The Stock Check - Posted by: Mark
Charles N’Zogbia inspires Villa to a precious three points, while United put in a frighteningly efficient shift to neutralise the Everton threat and grab the points via Robin Van Persie’s efforts. Here’s the Stock Check on Sunday’s events…
On the Up
Robin Van Persie
With two consecutive blanks, the Van Persie naysayers were rounding on the Dutchman, fueled by Wayne Rooney’s consistent scoring. Amidst concerns that the Dutchman could be rested with Wednesday’s Madrid tie in mind, we’ve seen sales of Van Persie throughout the week which have even led to a price drop in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game. Today’s goal and assist returns, however, instantly stung those who decided to trade him out and underlined his importance, both to United and our Fantasy lineups.
Rafael
The Brazilian chipped in with a slide rule pass to set Van Persie on his way to United’s second, whilst sealing back-to-back clean sheets at the other end. With Sir Alex Ferguson clearly allowing Everton possession but dropping his side deep to defend with some determination, we could now see Rafael and the United backline begin to find form and start returning a stream of clean sheets. Rested back in Gameweek 24, the Brazilian’s performance today demonstrated just why he has cemented the right-back role this term.
David De Gea
Can we now settle on the Spaniard as an option in goal? De Gea has started the last 11 league matches and, given that he was not rotated ahead of the Champions League clash with Madrid, it appears his position is looking as solid as ever. At 5.5 in the FPL, De Gea offers a cheap route to the United clean sheets which may now start to follow with regularity as they close in on the title. Interestingly, Ben Amos was on the United bench ahead of Anders Lindegaard, and yet the Dane was on the bench for his country in midweek – presumably fit and well: it’s a situation that warrants monitoring.
Charles N’Zogbia
It seems unlikely that a Villa player can find his way into our midfields but there’s little doubt that N’Zogbia is the leading candidate on offer. The former Wigan man returned a goal and assist in the win over West Ham and has now fetched points in three of his last four outings. It’s clear that Villa’s top-flight status rests on his form and Christian Benteke’s goals.
Going Down
Wayne Rooney
With Sir Alex Ferguson keen to ensure that his side conceded little ground to Everton, Rooney’s attacking instincts were shackled by a role out on the left flank for the majority of the match. His potential curbed, Rooney was rarely able to threaten in tandem with Van Persie and his owners will surely have been frustrated by the withdrawn role granted to him and the Dutchman’s timely return to form.
Marouane Fellaini
Sir Alex Ferguson deployed Phil Jones to snuff out the threat from the Belgian and it proved effective. Dropped deeper towards the end of the match by David Moyes, with Gareth Bale now a hot midfield property, Fellaini may be reluctantly sacrificed by some, with competition in the midfield area so fierce. The fixture list and past experience would suggest that patience with Fellaini will be rewarded, although, having earned an eighth booking of the season, another suspension is now a growing concern.
Joey O’Brien
Forced off on 25 minutes, the Hammers full-back was replaced by Guy Demel who returned to the fold after sitting out the home win over Swansea. This report states that O’Brien has suffered a thigh injury that will see him left at home for treatment while the Hammers squad go out to Dubai for a “warm weather break”. With fortnight before the next league action, it remains to be seen if the injury will put him on the sidelines for the Gameweek 27 fixture with Spurs.

applebonkers says:
have gone from pretty content with all things FPL to now pretty terrified about tomorrow. if sturridge misses out it’s not just a case of sturridge missing out, it makes suarez twice the player, that’s twice the player the majority will have captained.
may have to invest in a nappy tomorrow
February 11 at 12:13 am
teddy says:
Sleep easy. Sturridge is in fine fettle. It’s a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
February 11 at 12:15 am
SuperDunny says:
I completely agree. He starts and scores tomorrow

He probably does as well
Man alive that is a scary ass pic

Gargamel says:
Haunting
February 11 at 12:17 am
applebonkers says:
it’s true he didn’t train on friday though, that’s about the one thing i’ve seen evidence for. just hope it wont come down to hoping sturridge misses the 2nd dgw game too in order to get michu VC as that will be depressing to hope to get that lucky
February 11 at 12:15 am
Archie says:
Sturridge was the player I was most worried about not having (I have Johnson, Gerrard and Suarez instead) but I couldn’t work out an easy way to bring him in, so settled for bringing Gerrard in.
Suarez can be lethal on his day, but having watched plenty of Liverpool games, Sturridge has been threatening big scores playing centrally.
As you say, a lot depends on who starts, but Suarez is capable of a big haul no matter what, the chance is just slightly reduced if he plays wide.
Looking forward to the match though

exicitng would be someone like silva who you know will fail, suarez is just scary, sturridge is the only one who can tame him
February 11 at 12:20 am

Come on man. It’s Suarez. He’s surely gonna let them all down
February 11 at 12:23 am

This DGW is the best set-up this season so far – what happens next an’ all.
February 11 at 12:30 am
SuperDunny says:
It’s gonna be epic!!
February 11 at 12:12 am
Archie says:
My transfer plan to field 11 in GW27 was 2 FTs Gerrard and Michu to Bale and Sissoko, which I still intend to do, but should I do it early?
I can afford to let Bale rise a bit as I’m downgrading Michu, it just seems like a waste, still Gerrard could do well and sway me to keep him.
Any thoughts, transfers now, or on the 22nd after Europa and FA Cup?
February 11 at 12:15 am
teddy says:
I think wait on this one, Bale will probably go up 0.3, but can’t go up any more, and there’s loads of games in which people can get injured.
February 11 at 12:21 am
Archie says:
Yeah that’s pretty much my conclusion, best to play it safe, and make sure I can field 11, it just seems a waste to lose 0.3 on Bale like that
February 11 at 12:12 am
michudagawd says:
I know it’s only a minor thing, but Ben Amos has been on the bench for United quite a few times in the last half dozen games and he isn’t listed on the Fantasy site. Any possible reason for this?
February 11 at 12:16 am

Huh! Dunno. Other than no one would seriously pick him.

Yourself?
February 11 at 12:25 am
Rafabio says:
Been pretty good in both
Made some stupid decisions in FPL but still hanging in there. I have Suarez (C), Sturridge and Stevie G to come tomorrow. Can we say excited?!

Captain Shirokov says:
Sorted so.

Damn you, I’d just got off JRod
February 11 at 12:20 am
Captain Shirokov says:
Was assessing 3rd striker options and he’s beginning to stand out.
The new gaffer seems to like him. 90 mins in the last three. Returns in all of them as well.
February 11 at 12:22 am
JKisthe1 -Tel-Aviv for EUROPA - Parm and China Mag, you're going down, Zlatan, Mila is mine says:
this is my point. With him I’ll have 0.2 in the bank, but enough for Pearce to Wilson when the time comes. Can you afford to let Bale rise if you sleep on it?
February 11 at 12:24 am
Captain Shirokov says:
Yup.
February 11 at 12:25 am
JKisthe1 -Tel-Aviv for EUROPA - Parm and China Mag, you're going down, Zlatan, Mila is mine says:
ok, shall we reconvene after tomorrow night’s Suarez show to see if we still think it’s a go-er?
February 11 at 12:28 am
Captain Shirokov says:
Of course.
February 11 at 12:19 am
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter........ especially without that dutch guy. says:
Ballsy, if you can convince yourself J Rod is nailed on or at least first choice, go for it
Sleep on it though!
February 11 at 12:21 am
Captain Shirokov says:
I most definitely will.
February 11 at 12:21 am
JKisthe1 -Tel-Aviv for EUROPA - Parm and China Mag, you're going down, Zlatan, Mila is mine says:
It’s that recent history, 1 goal 3 assists in his last 3 and played 90 in all

Romford Pele - Don't worry it's only Ray Parlour says:
Best option for a £4.2 defender? Already have Harte. Good fixture this week needed as he to play to make up 11
February 11 at 12:15 am
michudagawd says:
Russell Martin.
February 11 at 12:16 am
NapalmDeath says:
Clyne or Martin R. I reckon.
February 11 at 12:16 am
Tony Hibberts Love Child says:
Harte is a thing of beauty and to think some of this very forum were saying in terms of delivery Shorey is better.
February 11 at 12:16 am
Captain Shirokov says:
Turner.

Romford Pele - Don't worry it's only Ray Parlour says:
What about if Wilson is back?
February 11 at 12:23 am
Captain Shirokov says:
Give it a while first.
February 11 at 12:19 am

Yeah Turner is another option from Norwich, he’s been picking up a lot of bonus points recently.

isacki - losing makes winning sweeter........ especially without that dutch guy. says:
Ok, many are in the same boat but I’m still not liking my lack of players this week.
Have 9 playing right now and one (Anichebe) is doubtful, hopefully Eva Carneiro will give him a hand. 8-). So…. looking at 8 playing.
Basically, my plan is to get 2 more in (-4 hit) and cross fingers on Anichebe. The odds of a -8 hit paying off are too slim for my liking, though by no means impossible. I’ve made it work before with a modest profit. At least there’s no downside if the players being sold aren’t playing. There would of course be long term implications of knee jerking out perfectly decent players for the next 6 and that tilts me against it.
So the week comes down to a good captaincy choice (Walcott here… probably) and me pulling the mother of all -4 hits out of the bag.
Forward + defender worth 18m. Any suggestions?
Looking at Evans and Rooney right now.

February 11 at 12:32 am
dribbler says:
you reckon rooney’s nailed-on for next week though?…that would be my worry…I’m thinking about Cisse
February 11 at 12:39 am
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter........ especially without that dutch guy. says:
It does worry me a little but there’s a quote from fergie that Rooney has to play regularly to stay fit so shouldn’t be rested much. And he has been playing virtually every game.
Cisse is great on paper in that attack but have doubts about his form. Owned him gw24-25 as punt and he missed so many chances. Also Sissoko seems to be playing as high as him!
February 11 at 12:19 am
NapalmDeath says:
RVP + 4.0m (Stam?)
February 11 at 12:24 am
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter........ especially without that dutch guy. says:
Cheers, I’ve got a small amount of leeway because I’ve so much in the bank from… selling RVP. So if need be yes I could cave in and get him back with an ok budget defender. But the reasons I sold him still hold true, I’ve done it as a punt til gw29 or so. Will be looking at alternatives til then at earliest and be choosing a different captain each week.
February 11 at 12:29 am
NapalmDeath says:
Ah fair enough, didn’t know you’d sold. You are one of those 49,532 people I was secretly mocking to myself at work today
Could work out in the end though. I don’t see Rooney staying quiet for long. I’ve got a feeling one of these mid-priced forwards is gonna light up soon. Gouffran, Berba, Giroud all in my sights. Gouffran winning the race currently. Him with Rafael would be nice.
February 11 at 12:33 am
NapalmDeath says:
Just been informed about his potential injury. Hold fire I guess ;o
February 11 at 12:34 am
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter........ especially without that dutch guy. says:
Yep fair play to RVP keepers, he finally delivered again, just trying to catch the new trends. I was considering Giroud, Benteke, Lambert or even pricey Cisse, but the latter is not in great form. Missed so many chances.
February 11 at 12:35 am
NapalmDeath says:
Newcastle are a tricky bunch. They have the lowest scoring ‘top-scorer’ in FPL.
February 11 at 12:43 am
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter........ especially without that dutch guy. says:
Yeah. I mean clearly it’s because ba left, but I see goals spread out amongst the front four now, maybe like other sides that play 4-2-3-1 – arsenal, spurs, Chelsea, Southampton.
February 11 at 12:37 am
SuperDunny says:
Oh shit you sold RVP didn’t you!
wow we are set for vastly different GWs. You have Suarez captain and no Gerrard. I have Gerrard captain and no Suarez!

It’s gonna be like the battle of helms deep, except somehow more nerdy!

Rafabio says:
A punt on Chicarito? Surely he’ll see some game time against QPR?
February 11 at 12:30 am
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter........ especially without that dutch guy. says:
Possibly but I gotta live with my new acquisitions for the long term.
February 11 at 12:20 am
Triggalicious says:
I’m in more or less the same boat. I don’t think I can squeeze Bale in, as I’m still a 3-4-3 man.
I’m going to take a hit too, and I think it’s worth it to get a good team out, as long as those players will stay in your team for the foreseeable future.
My plan was Evans and Aguero. I might still do it.
February 11 at 12:29 am
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter........ especially without that dutch guy. says:
Was set on Aguero earlier but City’s sorry display and his patchiness this year leaves me wondering if they have blown it. Difficult to get him in unless I see big pointers that city will man up / Chelsea fold.

I’m not liking my lack of players either but I’m definitely giving myself 12 days to think about things.

Well, I shifted all 3 in one swoop!

Great call today, they had a mare. Held on for the next two GWs then sell. Who did you get in?
February 11 at 12:38 am
RoysCallerAnne says:
Mariappa (getting his points from the bench)
Sturridge & Gerrard
February 11 at 12:46 am
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter........ especially without that dutch guy. says:
Boom, assuming you took a hit you should’ve basically broken even already. Hoping for goodbye presents from Baines, Fellaini and Anichebe over the next two. Might keep the Fella though.
February 11 at 12:16 am
Mind over Mata says:
Please can you gurus recommend a move (1FT, 0.0m):
Mig
Zab, Demel, Wilson
Fell, Mata, Wally, Bale
RVP, Pog
3.9; Suarez, Michu, GJ, Davies
Many thanks!

Suarez + Michu to Dzeko + Bale?
Worth it?
February 11 at 12:19 am
Mind over Mata says:
Probably, you convinced of Dzeko keeping his place?
February 11 at 12:25 am
ZaKNaFeiN says:
i think so, although Gargamel did mention that Tevez had genuine family problems
February 11 at 12:20 am
rdpx says:
you want to lose Michu?
You need to get down the pub and sort yourself out.
February 11 at 12:27 am
ZaKNaFeiN says:
haha, it has been a pretty tough decision. The other options to get rid of are:
Mata, Fellaini, Walcott, Maloney
If I get rid of Maloney, I’ll have a strong front 8 which will cause me benching headaches every week.
Plus, getting rid of Michu allows me 11 players next GW
February 11 at 12:37 am
Pigvig says:
Same transfer in my mind. Michu’s performance last game has made it a far tougher call.
February 11 at 12:38 am
ZaKNaFeiN says:
agreed, but he does have his barren moments (just like Bale I suppose)
February 11 at 12:17 am
Adriano says:
Mignolet or De Gea?
February 11 at 12:18 am
Gargamel says:
De Gea!
Really fun player to own – you never know what will happen next and he makes his saves look really hard so you feel extra good about yourself
February 11 at 12:27 am
ZaKNaFeiN says:
Haha, that’s one of the best reasons I’ve heard so far.
February 11 at 12:19 am
Blue Moon Rising says:
Wouldnt back De Gea or them lot to keep a clean sheet, its been that way all season yet they’re 12 clear.
February 11 at 12:18 am
Triggalicious says:
I can’t decide if Rafael or Evans is more prone to rotation …
I guess neither is safe, but possibly Rafael slightly more so?
February 11 at 12:20 am
Demi says:
Think Rafael is more safe too. Jones has been playing in midfield and CB and looking good there too. Rafael is much better @ RB compared to his competition than Evans is @ CB compared to his. I’d get him if i had the cash now
February 11 at 12:22 am
Triggalicious says:
This was my thinking exactly. Vidic looked good today, and I think that all 3 CBs (as well as Jones or Smalling) could get game time at CB. I’d want Rafael over Smalling/Jones at RB all day long.
February 11 at 12:20 am
TA18 Thiago-the future of our midfield says:
didn’t fergie say vidic and ferdinand will be rotated while Jevans starts ?
but rafael is slighlty more less rotation prone
February 11 at 12:22 am
Triggalicious says:
He did … but I’m not sure how long he intended this to be for. Perhaps only until Vidic was up to speed, which I’m guessing he is now.
February 11 at 12:26 am
TA18 Thiago-the future of our midfield says:
if so, i guess rafael is the best pick by far
February 11 at 12:28 am
ZaKNaFeiN says:
Would still go with Rafael as he has the attacking returns to back him up
February 11 at 12:21 am
Santiagounreal says:
Only 19 hours or so until Suarez’s hat-trick
February 11 at 12:23 am
Triggalicious says:
I’m even more excited about the part where he gets his fourth in stoppage time.
From a GJ assist too
February 11 at 12:24 am
Rafabio says:
+1
We shall see who “laughs” (all in good fun) last at the DGW (C) spot.

Ode to Michu
Oh dearest beautiful Michu,
I knew it was best to keep you,
On this site sell had been mentioned,
But i’ve no intention,
To give dearest my Michu away,
Now Graham has gone,
Your spearheading the Swans,
I mostly definitely shall not pawn.
February 11 at 12:28 am
ZaKNaFeiN says:
dang, your ode has made me reconsider getting rid of him now….
February 11 at 12:29 am
Still No Eye Dia says:
As opposed to his 2 goals + assist + max bonus?
February 11 at 12:29 am
Still No Eye Dia says:
Not a good idea to get players in based on their looks
.
Frankly his double has wrecked my plan to flog him. Season keeper now.

Who’s captained Sturridge but not got their vice on Michu?
February 11 at 12:29 am
ZaKNaFeiN says:
captained sturridge….vice on Suarez
February 11 at 12:33 am
Blue Moon Rising says:
Makes sense I suppose if you have both
February 11 at 12:23 am
Rafabio says:
Damn, Anichebe’s pants are TIGHT. WTH….
February 11 at 12:23 am
HarryS says:
Bunn
Zabaleta Davies Baines
Mata Taarabt Michu Walcott
Lambert RVP Suarez
Mignolet Harte Maloney Onuoha
Ok want to get Bale have 2 ft, nothing in the bank but team value is £105.9M if that helps? What transfers to make really struggling to decide on what to do?
February 11 at 12:24 am
NapalmDeath says:
Gouffran looking like a good shout for GW27? I only saw brief highlights of the games he’s played up to now.
February 11 at 12:25 am

You’d be a hot favourite there, Aqua. Looking forward to our return tie in Europa (for a bit of revenge)
February 11 at 12:31 am
Acquafresca says:
Cheers RCA, I’m on some superhuman point streak atm. Been avging 80.25 over the past 8 GWs.
Best of luck vs Roscola. How’s your tie going?
February 11 at 12:35 am
RoysCallerAnne says:
Wow, that is some streak.
A win is in the bag already for me. Same players and (c) left and I’m ahead
February 11 at 12:37 am
Acquafresca says:
Nice. Gratz
February 11 at 12:26 am
RoysCallerAnne says:
How long will you all let me gloat for if my triple Reading Defence comes off in GW27?
A year? A month surely….
3 clean sheets and another Mariappa goal should give a decent GW rank
February 11 at 12:30 am
Santiagounreal says:
I hope it works out for you as I have Pearce starting!
February 11 at 12:33 am
Still No Eye Dia says:
I could have Fed & Harte starting.

A quick hello to all the people who snitched on RVP

People thought long and hard about taking him out. Some came up with well thought out reasons and arguements. Didn’t work out for them this week.
Have you never got a FPL decision wrong?

The Parmtree says:
You mean 51….
February 11 at 12:33 am
Pinatta says:
Boys! Just a little troll, excuse me :p
Good night all!

Triggalicious says:
51 points with an injured captain. Ouch.

Santi "Arsenal" Cazorla says:
Keeping yout lfc players and avoiding the hit this week would set you up nicely if mancity arsenak everton cheksea fulhan were to be affevted by the fa cup postponment hence i have decided to go 10 mean this week well 9 and a half bcz le fondre dont start!!
February 11 at 12:33 am
RoysCallerAnne says:
I’m thinking along similar lines. 9.5 players also (Bertrand in my case)
February 11 at 12:36 am
Santi "Arsenal" Cazorla says:
Yep i also got demel hope obrien out for 3 weeks so demel plays

Willis Hide says:
A) Bale (whm, ARS) -4
OR
B) Gerrard (blank, wig)?!?!?!?
February 11 at 12:35 am
Still No Eye Dia says:
Totally A.

Santiagounreal says:
I can’t decide who to keep…Michu or Suarez
I’m kind of swaying towards Suarez because of Wigan away after…
February 11 at 12:33 am
Acquafresca says:
Both?
February 11 at 12:36 am
Santiagounreal says:
Actually maybe I could just do that
February 11 at 12:35 am
Tony Hibberts Love Child says:
Escape strategy i plan benching Michu and getting Suarez back in GW28. I lose next to nothing on Suarez and due to the blank expect him to drop back to 10.6/10.7
February 11 at 12:33 am
ZaKNaFeiN says:
ok, seems a fair split of ppl here on keeping vs selling Michu
A) Suarez + Michu –> Dzeko + Bale
B) Suarez + Maloney –> Pog + Bale (will only have 10 players next GW)

Triggalicious says:
RVP, Aguero, Fletcher is the strikeforce for me for the next month or so.
If it works, I’m probably the only one who will get the benefit
February 11 at 12:34 am
SuperDunny says:
lol this will probably be my strikeforce for the next GW
February 11 at 12:38 am
Triggalicious says:
Still okay with getting Aguero then?
I can see him being a great differential still. Also, remember how good City were last season after the had ‘lost’ the title?
February 11 at 12:40 am
SuperDunny says:
He was certainly my planned replacement for Sturridge prior to this gameweek. tbh i haven’t really had a good look yet.
Have plenty of time to consider the options, i’m not making any transfers for a while
February 11 at 12:41 am
Triggalicious says:
Same. But I had solid reasons to get him in, and one performance doesn’t change them all. I’ll see what happens tomorrow night for a start.
February 11 at 12:35 am
Pepin says:
There are definitely better third striker options than Fletcher right now, namely Sturridge, Benteke, Lambert…I guess FT’s are precious these days, especially with the potential blank in GW29 so you probably can’t move Fletcher.
February 11 at 12:37 am
Triggalicious says:
Yeah, I’m stuck with him next week. But then wba, FUL, qpr, NOR are good fixtures for any striker, so I may as well keep him for those.
February 11 at 12:38 am
SuperDunny says:
Bigger problems innit
February 11 at 12:53 am
Pigvig says:
I’d rather have Benteke or Lambert over Fletcher…
February 11 at 12:34 am
HarryS says:
Ok want to get Bale have 2 ft, nothing in the bank but team value is £105.9M if that helps at all? What transfers to make really struggling to decide on what to do?
Bunn
Zabaleta Davies Baines
Mata Taarabt Michu Walcott
Lambert RVP Suarez
Mignolet Harte Maloney Onuoha

taarabt & suarez —> bale & Lambert/sturridge/benteke
February 11 at 12:43 am
HarryS says:
Really Suarez out, also I only have £6.5M left for a striker
February 11 at 12:34 am
Pepin says:
Interesting reading posts up above, the Suarez owners scared of Sturridge, and the Sturridge owners scared of Suarez
Make that double scared as in most cases those are the captains, too. I personally wouldn’t mind if their scores aren’t too dissimilar…wouldn’t want to see huge swings in people’s seasons over one 50-50 coin flip decision…
February 11 at 12:35 am
Triggalicious says:
I think everyone would just settle for GJ being the star of the GW
February 11 at 12:36 am
Santiagounreal says:
Enrique*

Captain order would be – Day 1 Solado, Day 2 Ronaldo, Day 3 Lucho Gonzalez, Day 4 Messi
