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…
-
There 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 weekOpen Controls-
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 Controls-
I 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.

Oscar AND Moses is a long shot
Open Controls-
you 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 Controls-
Yeah 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 Controls-
let's try again
-----mikel------lampard----
ramires----mata----moses
--------torres----Open Controls-
Gah 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

Isnt oscar a big doubt because he was taken off early mid week.

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 Controls -
Kaca or Sterling for 5th midfielder?
Open Controls-
I'm thinking Sterling for 4th midfielder.
Open Controls -
Sterling. 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 Controls-
thanks all

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 Controls-
Petric for Lambert
Open Controls-
Not Ba?
Open Controls

-
Petric and ddg
Open Controls -
DDG>Foster
Petric/PodolskiOpen Controls-
Petrič is out from Fulham squad after Berbs tran think that he is very good striker and Poldi play against city this GW :-///
Open Controls-
He'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

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 Controls -
Is Gibbs worth 0.5m more than Mert? I think no. Thoughts? Agree/disagree. Cheers,
Open Controls-
Gibbs is getting forward a lot as highlighted against Saints
Open Controls-
That was against Southampton at home. Nuff said.
Open Controls-
Of 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 Controls-
the new manager prefers mert,. he started in cl too. also he is bigger goal threat
Open Controls-
New 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 Controls -
Is Demel fit?
Open Controls-
why he won't be
Open Controls -
Well my sister thinks so anyway, but he isnt my type, too much penis.

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...

1 FT. Anything majorly dumb about doing Coloccini OUT, Clark IN?Open Controls -
This 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 Controls-
Berbatov is just too sexy a pick. Hard to resist. I'm looking to get him in soon.
Open Controls-
I 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.

Demba and Ba

Who to bring in for injured Jelavic? Defoe/Fletcher/Berby & why please?
Open Controls-
Defoe 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 Controls-
Could 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 Controls-
Yeah, 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.

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 Controls-
Now Buttner is the differential of Captain potential 😉
Open Controls -
I may captain Lambert
Open Controls

-
Which 3 to play from the following defenders?
Lescott, Hangeland, Rangel, Barnett, O'BrienOpen Controls -
Thinking 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

Two questions for this week.
