The Knee Jerk – United Rip It Up

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.

      Is this "Chinese_person" "RBJ" in disguise? Equally as crazy by the looks of things.

      Who's more likely to double rise?

      Nasri or Silva?

        Neither.

        Nasri's protected because he just moved club, and Silva won't get heavy investment.

        You won't get many double rises. The only likely ones are Dzeko and Young.

        Rooney probably won't double rise because of high ownership.

          Scratch that. Only Dzeko. Getting a double rise is very hard. Needs a LOT of transfers.

          Hmm, well I'm still Wildcarding this week, hopefully a double week gap will let a few more double rise.

          Didn't think about Nasri's protection, will get Silva in then this week.

        It doesn't matter when you play it.

        You could make all the transfers first and then play it, or you could play it and then tinker.

        Prefer the latter because you never know on a Saturday morning when the servers might crash and you're stuck with 80 transfers.

      Tesco (or whatever his name is), Young, Rooney, Nasri, Silva, Suarez….. Don’t have any of them sigh. Don’t want to wildcard but how about this?

      Torres to Suarez
      Toure to Nasri (is he suddenly better than.Silva?)

      Is it also worth a 4 point hit for…

      Bent to Rooney

      Not sure about big ecks attacking style. Nani to Young can wait I think

Still loving my team and still prefer Silva over Nasri even after todays 3 assists. Dzeko on fire but still to see what effect champs league will have on city rotation...
