Handed a debut last week, our new Moneyball series returns to scan the lower end of the Fantasy markets, identifying players with the numbers to suggest they could well emerge as an unlikely force for this week and the foreseeable future. West Brom’s Romelu Lukaku is a considerable unit who, to this point, has been kept straining at the leash. Even so, with a start at home to struggling Reading on the cards tomorrow, the time looks right for the big Belgian prospect…
Nobody knows for certain...but I'd guess that he'll start.
Open Controls
what rumors? from where?
Open Controls
Apparently he boos if he doesn't start and big Dom can't stand that as it sets him off too so he'll start
Open Controls
If anyone can post a lineup that RDM realistically would play for a home win, without Hazard, we'll take it from there.
Open Controls
It is possible, just replace Hazard with Mata.
It wont happen though.Open ControlsI think RDM has changed the Chelsea game. Mata to permanently be the deep passer, Hazard to be the attacking midfielder running into the wings. The only straight swap I can see is Oscar, but it's too early to throw him into 2 consecutive games IMO. And he'd prefer to play Oscar and Hazard like against Juve.
Open Controls
----------mike-----lampard------
mata------oscar-------moses
-------------torres------Open ControlsOscar AND Moses is a long shot
Open Controlsyou asked for realistic lineup against stoke
i think this players would smash them
perssonaly i can see hazard either start from bench or pulled out in 60min
hope i will be wrongOpen ControlsYeah asked for realistic as in one RDM was likely to play. I think it looks good, I just don't see any precedent for this kind of lineup
Open Controlslet's try again
-----mikel------lampard----
ramires----mata----moses
--------torres----Open ControlsGah they have too many midfielders 😆 yeah Ramires looks as good a shout as any other to play. But it's such a minefield that even Bertrand is likelier to start than Moses on the left
Open Controls
Isnt oscar a big doubt because he was taken off early mid week.
Open Controls
I heard RVP is out for 3 weeks 😉
Open ControlsRonh is my source on r.v.p's fitness 😉
Open Controls
Having Maloney as my first sub spells disaster, not sure who I could sub though, team is linked should anyone know a better solution.
Open ControlsKaca or Sterling for 5th midfielder?
Open Controls
I'm thinking Sterling for 4th midfielder.
Open ControlsSterling. Been with him from virtually the start of his spell in the team . Cheap, OOP and talented. I remain ad confident in him as ever.
Open Controlsthanks all
Open Controls
pls boys,I have 2 FT and my team is:
DDG-Federici
Rafael-Ivanovič-Lescott-Demel-Clyne
Michu-Hazard-Dyer-Kagawa-Guthrie
Torres-Tevez-Petrič
in the bank:2.1
anyone 2 transfers out from :
DDG+Lescott+Torres+Petrič
???Open ControlsPetric for Lambert
Open Controls
Not Ba?
Open Controls
Petric and ddg
Open Controls
DDG>Foster
Petric/PodolskiOpen ControlsPetrič is out from Fulham squad after Berbs tran think that he is very good striker and Poldi play against city this GW :-///
Open ControlsHe's in excellent form and City have not kept a CS this season. It's a risk but i think it's worth it (especially as you have no Arsenal players)
Open Controls
I did ddg to foster this week too
Open Controls
you should wildcard i,m afraid mate.... sorry
Open Controls
How am I looking guys?
Jaas
Demel – Gallas – Ivan
Kacan – Hazard – Michu – Cozorla
Tevez (Vc) – V.P – Ba (C)
Subs: Bego – Dyer – Rangel – Cuellar
Am I playing the right 11?Open Controls
After a few weeks:
RVP to Rooney
Tevez to Aguero
I just really like Pig and Kun more.
Yay or nay?Open Controls
Nay
Open Controls
Who do I start; Gibbs, Nelsen or Hughes?
Open Controls
Lads! I've got 1.0 in the bank, looking to transfer Graham for Berba, but I am 0.1 short! I feel I can handle taking a hit, but who do I take out?
Jussi-Foster
Rangel-Hughes-Cole-Demel-Cuellar
Fellaini-Toure-Cazorla-Hazard-Michu
Torres-Tevez-Graham/BerbaOpen ControlsIs Gibbs worth 0.5m more than Mert? I think no. Thoughts? Agree/disagree. Cheers,
Open ControlsGibbs is getting forward a lot as highlighted against Saints
Open ControlsOf course he was likely to be attacking more against a weaker team but the fact remains he looks a threat going forward and Arsenal seem to be improving at the back
Open Controlsthe new manager prefers mert,. he started in cl too. also he is bigger goal threat
Open ControlsNew manager? Assume you mean Bould the assistant coach?! Per hasn't scored for AFC yet and Gibbs looks good for assists. Mert is flicking on corners however, so he could bag an assist soon too
Open Controls
Rmt please:
Foster.
Demel, ivanovic, vertonghen
Bale, michu, pienaar, yaya
Berb, tevez, rvp (c)
Guthrie, hangeland, cullerOpen Controls
Start Jussi or DDG? I have Stevie Fletch up front which is the only thing stopping me from starting Jussi. But DDG's away to Liverpool. This frigging game gives me more headaches and dilemmas than anything else in my life.
Open ControlsIs Demel fit?
Open Controlswhy he won't be
Open ControlsWell my sister thinks so anyway, but he isnt my type, too much penis.
Open Controls

Second one is best if it works, but I just made it upOpen Controls
😆
Open Controls
Anyone worried about Ba not starting due to his moaning / contract issue? I want to bring him in for Petric, but think Lambert might be safer...
Open Controls
capt choice for me this week with rank:
1) HBA
2) RVP
3) Hazard
agreed?Open Controlsanyone else benching Maloney this weekend?
Open Controlsnaaa/
Open Controls
Whassup Beaches!
Davis
Cole(v) Demel Coloccini[X]
Hazard(c) Cazorla Yaya Michu
RVP Tevez DiSanto
Ruddy Noble Hughes Fabio[X]
1 FT. Anything majorly dumb about doing Coloccini OUT, Clark IN?Open ControlsThis Berbatov wagon is massive this week. Am I the only one holding off for a bit because of Fulhams dreadful away form? I wouldnt be surprised if he didnt play a full 90 minutes too.
Open ControlsBerbatov is just too sexy a pick. Hard to resist. I'm looking to get him in soon.
Open ControlsI remember having him as captain when he scored 5 two seasons ago, that was so sexy I jizzed in my pipe!
Open Controls
I don't want him. I'm happy with Fletcher. I may be made to eat my words though.
Open Controls
+1
Open Controls
I'm with you on this! Fulham's away form puts my off, Steven Fletcher all the way 😉
Open Controlsspot on ..and hes from bulgaria...!
Open Controls
Demba and Ba
Open Controls
Who to bring in for injured Jelavic? Defoe/Fletcher/Berby & why please?
Open ControlsDefoe seems tasty
Open Controls
Thinking of getting Defoe in for Graham (-4). Last time I brought Defoe into an FPL team he scored five in the very next game, so I'm feeling pretty confident #itk
Open ControlsCould be worth it this week but Spurs' fixtures get harder after this GW. Plus they have scored 2 goals in 3 home games v WBA, NOR and Lazio so far this season...
Open ControlsYeah, don't see Defoe as a long-term option with Ade on the horizon. Just a punt as I won't believe the Berbatov hype. Plus Spurs have strong fixtures 4 out of the next 6 at least, he won't be there longer than that.
Open Controls
Is now the time in the season to go for a differential Captain pick? It seems mental but given the Canaries inability to keep a clean sheet away from home (35 on the bounce in the PL) I may put the armband on Cisse
Open ControlsNow Buttner is the differential of Captain potential 😉
Open ControlsI may captain Lambert
Open Controls
Which 3 to play from the following defenders?
Lescott, Hangeland, Rangel, Barnett, O'BrienOpen ControlsThinking of getting Baines and Aguero for GW6 and then Berbatov in GW7...Would like to see how fit Aguero is this weekend of course.
Open Controls
Stoke defender Danny Higginbotham has joined Ipswich on emergency one-month loan
Open Controls
remember when he hit a couple of free kicks from distance a couple seasons ago and people were fighting to get him in their fpl teams
was their fk taker at one pointOpen Controls
Foster (Begovic)
Ivan Demel ?
Hazard Pienaar Michu Cazorla (Guthrie)
RVP Tevez Fletcher
Stuck in defense now Cuellar is out. 1FT, 0 in bank,
Do I..
1 - Save FT, play Davies
2 - Save FT, play Gibbs
3 - Play Cuellar out of blind hope
4 - Transfer in and play Clark/LowtonOpen Controls
My current front 8:
Yaya Toure Bale Ben Afra Pienaar Michu
Torres Tevez Berbatov
Two questions for this week.
A. Who would you bench?
B. Who would you captain?Open Controlsbench michu at home to everton?
Open Controls
is gorks t only assured 3.9m starter?
Open Controls
Kagawa + Pog ——————> Morrison + Defoe (or Berbatov)
is this worth a 4pt hit?Open Controlskeep hold of kagawa, he wiill start v liverpool
Open Controls
12 years, 1 month agoThere were rumours earlier that Hazard would start from the bench tomorrow... Surely he will start, he will be rested midweek.
Just want to make sure as it is either him or RVP for captain this week
