An upturn in form by Palace’s former Villa man and a certain enigmatic Bulgarian over at Craven Cottage come under the spotlight this evening. Tottenham’s improvement in front of goal and United’s faltering home form are also picked apart in our latest review of the statistics from the weekend and beyond:
Not at all convinced by Rooney tonight, admittedly I didn't see the first half, but before RVP came on he didn't look at all threatening, and when RVP did come on he played much much deeper, and was even playing midfield for the last 10 minutes!
No armband for you this weekend Mr. Rooney, might have to be Hazard instead. Or is that just way too risky?Open ControlsIt's definitely crossed my mind! I was gonna do it last week when Rooney was suspended, but decided against it, because I wanted some United cover for their easy fixtures and Rooney seemed to be in terrific form and hogging all of Uniteds points. But, I have kept him on the bench last week, and so I feel that I should give him one or two more chances. I've also got a few suspension and injury problems in defence, so doing the swap would require a 4 point hit at least.
Open Controls
RVP back is massive (in the negative sense) for Rooney returns I reckon
Open ControlsAbsolutely. Although, Rooney was keeping pace with him while they were playing together just before RVP was injured, and so as long as Rooney is assisting RVP it shouldn't be a huge problem. Also, I think RVP will be likely to miss a few games with his injury due to the hectic schedule. Whatever happens I am definitely keeping him this week, and unless Lukaku goes mental and proves he is essential, I'll give Rooney a few more games.

Keep and reassess. His stock has been up and down like a yo yo. LFC fan here. Reckon hell be in the points big time next few game weeks.

all depend on the midfield upgrade you'd do as a result surely. i dont think rooney to lukaku is worth it on its own
Open ControlsNot this week.
Open Controls
Did it three weeks ago to get an extra premium mid and happy with it so far.
Choice is even better now with Hazard, Ozil, Coutinho, Walcott and Silva to pick from.Open ControlsPlus YYT and Oscar
Open Controls
buttner, the secret to clean sheets
Open Controls
Boruc -> ??? 5.2M
a) Krul (have Santon)
b) Marshal (have Burner)
c) Guzan
d) Ruddy
Have Speroni so I need one that rotates well with him. I seriously consider A and B, other two fit the rotation, but wouldn't be my first choice.
Krul is the best out of those and in best team, but with not so great fixtures after next two home games. And getting him means doubling up on NEW defence and spending pretty much everything.
Marshal probably has the best home schedule until the end of the season and costs 4.6M. With him I'd be doubling up on CAR defence.
If you think I should get Ruddy or Guzan over those two I'd like to know why.
