  I've heard mixed reports about Carroll yesterday. Paper report said he looked sluggish, but on FFS they said he was unlucky not to score with plenty of shots. He could easily outscore Suarez at Arsenal.

    I did it today
    
    1. it was my planned GW3 sub anyway (so just a GW move forward - which is fine since Malouda played crap anyway and I'm happy to keep Nani)
    2. I'm worried about price increase on Suarez
    3. It's still a good sub for the season.

      Apparently they are quibbling about paying El Ahly £2m for Ahmed Fathy who was named in the African Nations team of the tournament last year and would sort our RB problems out.

        Only way we will spend money is if we get new owners.
        
        Which is allegedly happening so maybe some good news coming this week if reports on SSN and other outlets is to be believed.
        
        If we can repeat Wigan's feat of last season and stay up after a 4-0 home reverse on opening day then I'll be happy.

So far im tempted to get in:

Bent - looked lively and has good fixtures
Cahill - Always a goal threat and everton have good fixtures
Riise - again good fixtures and always a goal threat from fwd runs & free kicks
Baines - creates most of evertons chances
Sessegnon - looked lively, oop playing as a striker, playing Sunderland Derby next which has tended to be high scoring
VDV? - If any one scores against manu this man will, always good for points, on free kicks and scores them, on a side note manu's defence just took a huge hit.
Long - the cheap option thats looking promising, if just to free up ££ for GW3

Only wanting to make 1 transfer however, i think i might be willing to take a punt on VDV considering Manu's defensive situation. Risks paying off create ways to get ahead.

Already made my 1st transfer. Carroll out, Suarez in. Super peed off because Suarez was my number 1 choice for the upcoming season (at that price had to be) but I was too scared to risk having a 9.5 player sat on the bench in GW1. Now I've had to waste my 1st transfer cleaning up my mess.

      It's not Bent that worries me about Villa's attack, it's the crap around him. Zog looked slow and confused. Gabby was playing on the left and couldn't put in a decent cross. Heskey was playing in some sort of creative midfield role. None of them got Bent the ball in a position he could do something with.
      
      Best cross of the night came from Warnock, who looked pretty decent.

Carroll is a much better bet to score against Arsenal than Suarez. Suarez could well get an assist but Arsenal can't defend against set pieces and will struggle against Carroll's height.

Personally, I see Carroll to Suarez a wasted transfer for this week at least, but that's just me...

  In that fixture last season, Suarez caused much more trouble than Carroll.
  
  And actually (although it is early) Arsenal appear to be defending set-pieces better now Wenger has switch to zonal marking. It probably suits Koscielny & Vermaelen better than man-to-man.

    Why is that?
    
    I can never think of any reason why zonal marking would be better than man to man.

      there's more cohesion between the defence if it's zonal makring. Man-to-man, you're just following opposition attackers, and if they're movement is good enough (or if they're just taller) they'll shake you off.
      
      Zonal marking just gets a bad name because Liverpool used to mess it up all the time by switching off. Reina isn't the biggest either, so didn't come for the ball enough - something that Szczesny does do.

  You could be right of course but Suarez has that touch of class to score something from nothing. There is no way to rule him out from out-scoring Carroll. I'm a Utd fan (so it's painful to say) but Suarez is pure class

Does anyone think Saha is worth a punt?
QPR can surely only get better from yesterday but possibly goal fest surely? Up coming double fixture to have in mind too.

        Didn't Bent get the least passes or something yesterday? Someone yesterday said some stat or other that puts me off...plus I'd find the extra few mill very handy if I went with Saha.

  We might score, Bothroyd missed a glorious header from a Taarabt corner and hit Bolton defender when it was easier to score.
  
  But we sorely need another CB and a RB as well as another holding midfielder. I fear a rested Everton especially Cahill will do surgery on our defence next weekend.

Who do you think will score more points??

Kompany Lescott and Silva
or
Kompany Dzeko and Hart

I'm 3 points ahead of my "rival" right now and I have Lescott, Kompany and Silva.

Hoping Dzeko does nothing.

What is all this Suarez love all about? He scored a goal, he missed a penalty and ran out of steam BIG TIME in the second half against an average Sunderland side and is away to Arsenal next week..........don't see it myself, reckon Andy Carroll will be much more likely against the shakey Arsenal defence.......

    I didn't get to watch the game, but did Suarez look so tired that he might get rested by any chance? Or is he more likely to do 60 mins and out.

stick with carrol he can cause arsenals defenders nightmares and if he does ok he could get a couple of bps and i think v bolton he might do well. if after 3 games then you can swap but with lampard,kalou,malouda,anelka,drogba bps and goals are not nailed on for torres even though he was impressive today

  No. Some debate as to whether he'll get the assist for the 2nd goal, but that's not there at the minute.
  
  He's on 4 points now, before BPs. He should get 3, but the new system is apparently very goal-orientated, so I couldn't say.
  
  I'm sure someone will know though.
