The Knee Jerk – United Rip It Up

28 August 2011 3323 comments

Manchester United have just joined Edin Dzeko in turning Gameweek three upside down.

In 90 minutes of football, United simply blitzed a bewildered Arsenal, ravaged by injury and suspension, ill-equipped and unprepared for the waves of United attacks and individual brilliance thrown at them.

For Fantasy owners of Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young, United’s 8-2 win has brought a rare bounty of points that will have transformed their Gameweek scoring. Three goals and an assist from Rooney, a brace and and three assists from Young, the returns are beyond our wildest expectations and the stuff of nightmares for Arsenal fans and their beleaguered manager who could only watch on while their inexperienced and shell-shocked side were dismantled. Those Fantasy managers without the United pair are unlikely to feel much better – mini-leagues have been turned on their head by today’s events.

This afternoon will have a major impact on the Fantasy Premier League game with Young and Rooney now inevitably set to enjoy huge investment during the international break. Prices will rise, Wildcards will flutter – an extraordinary end to our Fantasy Gameweek.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    My team is:

    Kenny (vorm) - happy with these 2 with rotation

    Kompany bosingwa Enrique S Taylor (R Taylor)

    Jarvis Silva Downing (Moses N Dyer)

    Rooney Suarez Bent

    A)Dzeko and Young

    B) Aguero and Walcott

    B seems like it would produce more points next week but need to make the decision asap as dzeko will be going up tomorrow

      This is the season total. They don't put the weekly total, which makes it really annoying. To find the weekly, just subtract the total from what they've got from the past two weeks, which you can normally get from the transfers page under EA Sports PPI. If only the game wasn't updating. You can check the overall ones here:

      Anderson is so high.. What brought him there, passing ?

      Kompany still high but, with Dzeko, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, and etc., it will be really hard for his owners to earn BP.

    This is Unbelievable. We are living in world of technology, where Facebook can have millions of people uploading photos at the same time.
    On the other hand, FPL can't even keep the site up and running. Poor and really shame.
    If resource is an issue, get sponsorship, or charge the users. But it is unaccecptable to keep the customers waiting.
    If this does not improve, I will give up on the game. After all, its just a game .........

          The thing is I don't think my team is THAT bad:

          Given - Vorm

          Cashley - Kompany - Senderos - Simpson - Gabbidon

          OHara - Sess - Moses - T.Cahill - Brunt

          Bent - Suarez - RVP

          On sat night thought torres was going to drop so did nzogbia -> brunt and torres -> rvp

          If rvp gets injured during internationals will have to wc but I don't actually think major chnages are needed, want to downgrade my defence so I can invest more in midfield.

          Opinions?

      You have to draw the line on what constitutes an assist somewhere but it's difficult to say where.

      Laying the ball off for a player to smash a long range effort into the top corner is perhaps a little dubious but simply stopping the ball from rolling on a set-piece shouldn't, in my opinion, earn the same amount of points as whipping in a cross or splitting a defence with a through ball.

      I suppose us complaining won't change anything though!

    I remember a couple of days ago someone asks about the value of having a vice captain. Well, last week, in a fit of pique, I ditched torres for odemwingie. Once I'd calmed down I realized that may not have been the wisest course of action. So, I told myself if I was so sure of myself then I should make wingie captain, which I did.

    When I came back from a very pleasant trip to the beach yesterday, I checked to see what had happened footywise and was stunned by the scorelines. I felt pretty stupid by swapping out rooney's captainship for wingie. Then I remembered an question raised here yesterday: does anyone knoe anything about odemwingie turning his ankle in training that morning. I had a very guilty wish that the rumour was true, and hurriedly checked the starting brom lineup: no odemwingie. The captaincy had gone to my vice-captain, the roonpig himself, and the sackful of, possibly undeserved, points was mine, all mine.

        If they bother to move any. Can you imagine the uproar from people who have been unable to do a transfer due to the site being in a constant state of updating.

        I imagine there won't be any price changes until tomorrow now at the earliest.

        To avoid a .2 drop in price but also prob a .2 increase in dzeko

              Didn't try to be honest. Chasing value or worrying about price killed me last year. I honestly think rotation Could happen. Ballottelli needs to play to keep him sane and Tevez will still be there. Wigan at home isn't too tough a game.
