Yes, we know this week’s battle for the armband is done and dusted. With 86% of the votes cast, Luis Suarez is the undisputable favourite as Liverpool prepare for the visit of Cardiff on Saturday. The Uruguayan is hunting his fifth successive double-figure haul at Anfield and it’ll be a brave, or perhaps desperate, Fantasy manager who goes against the grain. Once again, our midweek regular for members sifts through the statistics to ascertain whether there really is anyone else worth considering:

I'm not a member but i'd imagine these articles are pretty helpful in picking a captain.
In a week like this though, it's pretty useless? Unless it can influence transfer of course.Open Controls
Rooney > Welbeck?
Open Controls
Please don't tell me people did Aguero > Rooney early for the sake of 0.1 😛

Just a few hundred thousand crazy people. People here aren't so stupid.
Open Controls
i did.....rooney rose 0.2 and aguero dropped 0.1 since then....so was for the sake of 0.3...plus i think rooney plays this weekend anyway

1. Million is worth roughly 22-23 points over a season so 0.1 is worth 2.2-2.3 points, the likely .2 swing you get by getting someone in early actually pays for a hit all on it's own.
Open ControlsNo it isn't. Worth 15pts over the season or 7/8pts from Jan WC. And that's if you buy the right players.
Open ControlsOn what planet?
Open ControlsYou dont expect to get 2200-2300 points a season with 100 million ?
Open ControlsThis is for the full team but all the "value" is in the cheap players. It's the marginal value which is lower.
Open ControlsThe point is the 0.1 has a value in points going forward, I believe, a very underrated one. Early transfers every week make you an extra 2-3 maybe even 4 million by the time we get to the late season allowing you to buy players the safe route does not allow.

Oh sh*t !!!!!!
Rooney has a 'knock' 🙁
Now normally a player who has a 'knock' misses the odd training session or at worst one match, but as we know...
Clyne & Kelvin Davis have had 'knocks' and missed at least 3-4 gameweeks.
I worry for Rooney if this is the case, as anyone carrying a 'knock' could be out for the season 🙄 !!!Open Controls
Yes, but Rooney has his supernatural Ogre healing qualities so I'm sure he'll be fine by breakfast 😉

Do you think so though? Moyes said he had a slightly swollen shin; nothing serious.

What happened to Rooney? Help me. I already took a 4 point hit this week 🙁

I bloody hope Shrek plays
Open ControlsAguero > Rooney > Negrado ? 😛
Open Controlscannot see Moyes risking Rooney to start at the weekend if he couldn't even make the bench tonight. especially with so many games coming
Open ControlsWhats the deal with Clyne's injury?
Open Controls
Rooney will start this weekend, dont fret
Ive his family locked up at gunpoint in my basementOpen Controls
I'm keeping Rooney until press conferences & more info emerges.
Don't rush him out...Open ControlsI wouldn't be surprised if someone sold him and bought him again later in the week after the flags removed. Rushing is all the rage
Aguero > Rooney > Negrado > Rooney
8 point hitOpen Controls
FPL aside...
All these injuries are great news for Arsenal 🙂Open Controls
A real Arsenal fan wouldn't captain Aguero against them
Open Controls
Hang on, people are going from "he was probably just left out as a precaution" to "oh shit he is out for week" on the basis of no more information than Moyes originally provided. Let's wait and see - my hunch is we'll see him at the weekend.
Open Controls
The only thing we can guarantee with Rooney is that Moyes will completely fail to clarify the position.
So any speculation is useless until the team sheets are published.
Moyes has shown in his previous Everton incarnation and the whole RVP saga his sickening disregard for FPL players. No wonder he gets such a bad press here. 'Fes up Moyes and rekindle our respect for you....Open ControlsI cant wait for Moyes's Presser on Friday...
"He has a chance of being involved" 🙂Open Controls
Would it be stupid to bring in Evans after he played in the cup?

Yes, he looked like he tweeked his hammy near the end

i already took a hit for rooney in for aguero. (made some defensive changes earlier to free up some funds) should i take another hit(-8) rooney to negredo or should i use the extra funds i have to upgrade brady to ramsey or nasri?
Open Controls

Open Controlsaguero and wilshere for negredo and wally if you can take a hit

Any golden nuggets in the post match from Moyes re: Rooney.
I still live in hope that he felt he had to rest him and has lied for fear of backlash had they have lost.Open ControlsFor those that are saying, "Wait for press conferences", you do realise Moyes will just say "a few knocks & niggles" "Some will make it, some won't"!
We won't know any more then than we do now 🙂Open ControlsDavid Pleat is so anti AVB
