The Stock Check – Saturday – Part Two
Filed under: The Stock Check - Posted by: Paul
Liverpool hammer Wigan at the DW, as Luis Suarez sweeps aside the lacklustre Latics with a hat-trick. Stewart Downing and Philippe Coutinho also pick up the points as the Reds win on the road for the first time since Gameweek 20:
On the Up
Luis Suarez
Reinstalled to the lone forward role as Daniel Sturridge missed out with a knock, the Uruguayan ran riot at the DW this evening. Suarez’s hat-trick took him to 21 goals for the season – two ahead of Robin Van Persie in the race for the Golden Boot. With maximum bonus looking assured, Suarez will now be just 14 points behind the Dutchman at the top of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings and with form, fixtures and guaranteed game time on his side, could well end the season as number one.
Philippe Coutinho
The January signing from Inter scored on his first start for the Reds in the previous league match with Swansea and maintained his strong attacking form with a pair of assists. With Brendan Rodgers keen to protect Raheem Sterling, Coutinho could well be set to feature more prominently in the first XI from here on in and looks a decent mid-price option at 6.5 in FPL.
Stewart Downing
An early opener added to his assist against Swansea in Liverpool’s last league encounter, meaning Downing has now produced returns in back-to-back Gameweeks for the first time this season. At 5.7, he could be another option, with starts certainly looking assured – he has been named in the first XI in each of the last 13.
Glen Johnson
Subject of our recent members article, which drew comparisons with Jose Enrique’s numbers, it was Johnson’s turn to deliver today with a smart assist for Suarez’s third goal which could also see him figure amongst the bonus points. That was the right-backs fifth assist of the season and, with his Gameweek 29 fixture secure, Johnson seems set to earn a batch of new suitors after this timely haul.
Going Down
Daniel Sturridge
Brendan Rodgers’ decision to omit the former Chelsea man is clearly something of a worry for his owners. Sturridge has missed two out of the last three now and with his manager clearly keen to protect him from further damage as he nurses a troublesome thigh problem, his game time is looking less assured as Sturridge shows a propensity to pick up knocks. With the front three all impressing, Rodgers clearly has no need to rush Sturridge back although he will be expected to be in the frame for the Gameweek 29 visit of Spurs.
Wigan Home Form
It seems last week’s 3-0 win at Reading may be something of a false dawn. Many had believed Roberto Martinez’s side were on the verge of their annual surge up the table but instead they capitulated – Wigan have now conceded 31 goals in front of their own fans, four more than any other side.

“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.”

remember my “ps3 finally died after the flashing red light of death for weeks” post?….yep i thought not well it came back to LIFE lastnight(still flashing red
) after been dead for nearly 2 weeks.. 
must be something to do with downing scoring is my guess
and no i didnt just turn the power on before you ask
March 2 at 8:35 pm
Spencer says:
Almost certainly an overheating issue Opti.
It will go again.
March 2 at 8:36 pm
Optimus says:
i looked it up it is indeed an overheating issue some to do with the fan..i really dont want to buy another with ps4 announced
March 2 at 8:43 pm
Spencer says:
Some people have been able to get a refund by claiming on the Sale of Goods Act. Unfortunately, that didn’t work for me.
Google SOGA ps3

I bought a PS3 on release day. 7 years later it’s still going strong. They tend to use cheaper and cheaper components over its lifetime.

Average 35

Daniel - U don't know what u r doing!!! Rafa out!!! says:
Banana chap
BP prediction:
Suarez 3 BP, GJ 2 BP, Downing 1 BP
Carrick in the mix
Moore 3 BP Routledge 2BP (he could even steal the 3BP) 1 BP its a lottery Guttierez in the mix
Berbatov and Sess between 3 and 2 BP very close there, probably Sess 3, because Dimitar scored a penalty, Riether 1 BP
Collison 3BP (pretty sure), Jarvis 2BP, Crouch and Wilson in the mix for BP. Difficult game for prediction.
Remi 3 BP nailed on, Bothroyd on 2 probably (… not so sure on that one), Rodriguez, Hill, MBia in the mix
Kagawa 3BP, Rooney 2BP, Evra 1. The system is flawed so Evra could be on 2 before Rooney
Pienarr 3BP, Fell 2BP, Miralaas 1BP. But this predictions are gun to my head. I don’t guarantee for the order.
Ba 3BP , Luiz 2BP, Oscar 1 BP. Olsson in the mix
I raise

Suit yourself

Looks like my run of green arrows will come to an end this week. Id need Zabs and Dzeko to have a blinder to avoid it. Currently sat in 1.9 million for the GW
March 2 at 8:35 pm
Kagawa says:
gonna be my first red arrow since before boxing day!
March 2 at 8:44 pm
heeljames says:
Nice run, hopefully all the high scores are dead teams. We are pretty close points wise so a drop for one will be a drop for the other.
March 2 at 8:34 pm
Chu Young Ping Pong says:
GW rank 600k. wtf
March 2 at 8:35 pm
World XI says:
What score?
March 2 at 8:36 pm

March 2 at 8:34 pm

March 2 at 8:35 pm
La Roja says:

March 2 at 8:35 pm

Listen to your Harte
March 2 at 8:39 pm

Topper for tonight is the perfect dead team.

laernu ogaitnas says:
My captain scores a hat-trick and I’m still only 400k in the world for the GW…
Can’t catch a break!
March 2 at 8:35 pm
I Like Small Butts & I Can Lie says:
I think a lot of dead teams have scored well.
March 2 at 8:35 pm
rulocal says:
Yep. Rooney (c).
March 2 at 8:37 pm
AK- The Citeh Manager says:
Yeah. Fellaini, Suarez, Rooney, Ba..
Btw, I think you got the wrong guy, I never said Fellaini was a differential.
March 2 at 8:35 pm
Acquafresca says:
GW rank 88k with 62pts
March 2 at 8:37 pm
donaldducksnr says:
40k with only 4 points more
March 2 at 8:39 pm
Acquafresca says:
Wow. Tight.
Thanks

gooberman says:
This seems odd. My score of 41 which i didnt think was that bad has seen me almost in the millionaire club!
March 2 at 8:36 pm
The Viper says:
Gwk rank of 321k with Bale (c), Walcott & Zabaleta to play.
Hopefully will get that green arrow feeling back..
March 2 at 8:36 pm
Bob says:
Michu out for Sissoko or Coutinho?
March 2 at 8:37 pm
Optimus says:
you will need michu this gw
March 2 at 8:40 pm
Bob says:
Yes forgot Swans are playing.. Well, not going to offload Fellaini either.. Down to 10 men this week then.
March 2 at 8:37 pm
ronty says:
why would you get a GW29 player in the week you are struggling for
proper players
March 2 at 8:43 pm
Bob says:
Dunno.. Been so confused today after that Pepe backheel pass. Need to sleep this off.
March 2 at 8:38 pm
donaldducksnr says:
Liv play Spurs so i’m heading in Sissoko’s direction I think. More chance of game time too.
March 2 at 8:42 pm
VA says:
No, sisso will climb down a little over the next few weeks…and if i were you, i wld first take giroud out…
March 2 at 8:43 pm
Bob says:
He’s gone.
March 2 at 8:47 pm
VA says:
for? if you have new liverpool cover, coutinho may be a luxury…
I feel michu may come good against arsenal, etc…thinking of buying him,,,and I have sisso, bale, walcott, bale and mata…
March 2 at 8:38 pm
Fancy Feet says:
I think selling Fellaini now is a mistake since the dgw is right around the corner. I am starting to shape my team to fit Santi Fellaini Walcott Monreal Pienaar and Baines
March 2 at 8:39 pm
1justlookin says:
DGW for EVE isnt until at least GW 33!!
March 2 at 8:39 pm
Declan- If you don't know what i'm saying it's probably swahili says:
It won’t be until at least Gw34
March 2 at 8:43 pm
VA says:
I agree but mostly because if everton are going to score against citeh and tot, he may have a hand to play…nicely leading him to GW 33-34 double.
March 2 at 8:46 pm
Declan- If you don't know what i'm saying it's probably swahili says:
If people have Mata, Fell & Wally Fellaini will be the favourite for the boot
March 2 at 8:43 pm
Fancy Feet says:
Yes but starting to prepare now can help you set up ur team to not take hits and still have 5 or 6 dgw players. So selling him now is just a wasted transfer if u intend on getting him back. The better sale has to be Mata
March 2 at 8:44 pm
VA says:
isnt mata likely to have a dgw around then as well?
March 2 at 8:44 pm
Grimmaldi - Send in the Clowns says:
I’m sticking with him, with a dgw on the horizon I couldn’t get rid. Still can’t bring myself to get Baines, a defender who never gets his points from clean sheets isn’t natural.
March 2 at 8:38 pm
I know... From now on, I will never get a big fat green arrow again. I am finished... says:
This GW. Alot seems scoring very high! Unreal!
44 is about 800k 
March 2 at 8:40 pm
ronty says:
loads of dead teams have Chelsea defensive options
March 2 at 8:42 pm
Declan- If you don't know what i'm saying it's probably swahili says:
United, Liverpool and chelsea clean sheets. Ba 20% ownership, Pienaar 10% Fell 32% and of course Suarez 35%, makes it not too surprising really
March 2 at 8:43 pm
I know... From now on, I will never get a big fat green arrow again. I am finished... says:
This
March 2 at 8:38 pm
1justlookin says:
Sissoko IN for Fellaini/Mata. very tricky one this now.
March 2 at 8:40 pm
AK- The Citeh Manager says:
Fellaini I think. Mata’s fixtures are better.
Btw, is Sunderland’s attack pretty much the same in away games too?
March 2 at 8:43 pm
1justlookin says:
Not too much in it really, probably slightly stronger at home like most teams.
March 2 at 8:44 pm
AK- The Citeh Manager says:
Cheers mate.
March 2 at 8:38 pm
Acquafresca says:
Scout picks bar 4 went tits up.
March 2 at 8:39 pm
World XI says:
4% of people have Kagawa. Might be the reason for low gameweek ranks?
March 2 at 8:39 pm
Mile Plankton - Myth and Chronology says:
Check out the highest scorer.
March 2 at 8:42 pm
I know... From now on, I will never get a big fat green arrow again. I am finished... says:
he may not ever know that
March 2 at 8:42 pm
The Viper says:
Unbelievable!
Very rare a good player (high rank anyway) gets the highest score..
March 2 at 8:46 pm
Mile Plankton - Myth and Chronology says:
This one could even stay at the top after monday night.
March 2 at 8:45 pm
Optimus says:
wow
March 2 at 8:41 pm
Jafalad says:
Any know when Cuellar and Onuhoa are going to show up? Not the time of year for deadwood.
March 2 at 8:42 pm
Acquafresca says:
Not anytime soon, unfortunately
March 2 at 8:44 pm
I know... From now on, I will never get a big fat green arrow again. I am finished... says:
I don’t think they will play next game to be honest
March 2 at 8:41 pm
Natster | The Shuffling says:
Which two would you transfer out and avoid blank on Gw29?
Rafael – Azpil – Zabaleta
Fellaini – Walcott – Mata
RvP – Anichebe
I now have only Suarez – Bale – Michu in attacking.
So, considering to get Coutinho or Sissoko and one of Liverpool full-back.
March 2 at 8:42 pm
Mr Smith says:
So what’s the deal with Remy? He looked a good bet when he first arrived but has played few mins since, is this just due to injury?
March 2 at 8:43 pm
Waitakere_MGTH says:
He scored and will get 3 bps today
March 2 at 8:44 pm
Mr Smith says:
Is he nailed on now?
March 2 at 8:48 pm
Grimmaldi - Send in the Clowns says:
Was previously,an injury limited game time.
March 2 at 8:45 pm
heeljames says:
He has a terrible history with injuries. When he plays we will be lethal, but how much he plays is always gonna be a question.
March 2 at 8:49 pm
Mr Smith says:
Tis a real shame as he looks the business.
March 2 at 8:42 pm

Are the United and City blanks confirmed? About to do RVP > Suarez
March 2 at 8:43 pm

Not confirmed but there is only a couple of days left to confirm them
March 2 at 8:42 pm

wilson in for some on january wildcard is repaying the faith
how far stoke have fallen in defence..which is a shame
March 2 at 8:43 pm
I know... From now on, I will never get a big fat green arrow again. I am finished... says:
I will be so happy if City Game is in GW 29
March 2 at 8:43 pm
The Viper says:
Will RVP fall more than 0.1m do we think?
Suarez on for a 0.3 rise?
March 2 at 8:44 pm
I Like Small Butts & I Can Lie says:
I think a lot of people will see he has no fixture and sell for Suarez
March 2 at 8:44 pm
Declan- If you don't know what i'm saying it's probably swahili says:
.3 for both imo. Definitely .2 for Rvp
March 2 at 8:45 pm
Acquafresca says:
rvp protected no?
March 2 at 8:44 pm
Ballack says:
Friend captained Fellaini, how did they know!!
March 2 at 8:46 pm
I Like Small Butts & I Can Lie says:
I did Suarez (c) Fellaini (vc) … shame vc don’t get 150% points!
March 2 at 8:47 pm
The Viper says:
At home to reading. One of the highest scoring players in the game.
March 2 at 8:45 pm
I Like Small Butts & I Can Lie says:
Guessing BPs added tomorrow evening?

Yes
