A successful 2011/12 promotion campaign saw Southampton rack up the goals as Nigel Adkinsβ side finished second in the npower Championship. Having found the net 85 times last term, the Saints immediately placed Fantasy managers on alert and on the lookout for new blood for their squads. The most obvious and popular pick was Rickie Lambert who notched 25 goals in the Championship, while Adam Lallana and new arrivals Jay Rodriguez and later Gaston Ramirez have also been touted as potential Fantasy options. Even Morgan Schneiderlin – who had just two goals in almost 150 appearances coming into the season – has received some attention after his goal against Man United in Gameweek three.

Thoughts on this 4pt hit
Friedel, Berbatov > Mccarthy, Aguero
I wanted Aguero next week anywa and Friedel is a problem waiting to happen, Reading fans seem to think Mccarthy is number one now so he'll do for 3 weeks until i get Begovic inOpen Controls-
Looks good to me, Aguero seems pretty much guaranteed to play this week and Utd have a great record v Spurs.
I suppose Aguero didn't score well away last season, but not sure how much to read into that.Open Controls -
Sounds fine to me.
Open Controls -
I'm thinking of ditching Friedel to raise funds this w/e as well.
McCarthy will mean you'll have to address keeper situation again though - which you seem happy with.
Think Aguero is a great signing.Open Controls

-
What are we thinking re; Tevez, is he likely to start?
Open Controls-
I find it wierd that everyone says Aguero is the key man and then says tevez will be rotated all the time, if that is the case then won't Aguero be the one more likely rested throughout the season for the Champions League matches as I thought that would just slightly be the priority. I think these last few gameweeks have muddied the water beacuse of Agueros injured but long term Id have thought tevez will play more premier league than aguero.

Morning folks
I have 1 FT and £3.3 in the bank.
What to do?
Was thinking of replacing Tevez? If so, to Suarez or Lambert?
Foster, Begovic
Baines, Davies, Demel, Cuellar, Gorkks
Fellaini, Cazorla, Michu, Yaya Toure, Guthrie
Tevez, RVP, Fletcher
Thank youOpen Controls -
Crouch or Johnson or
Jelavic and Enqirue?
I want a piece of the liverpool defence
Was all set to do crouch but Berba out changes things as the two gameweeks after this one Crouch has (lliv, mun) so wouldn't be able to bench him if Berb is outOpen Controls -
Which one are more good to have as Everton cover? Jelly or Pienaar?
Open Controls -
Federici ----> Ruddy/Davis/Begovic. Which one to pick if had to?
Open Controls-
Beg

Sterling or Puncheon?
RVP Ba and Fletcher , or RVP Fletcher Lambert?Open Controls -
Didn't Mark and Granville both get Berbatov this week?
Rookies πOpen Controls -
Come on Moyes, speak up!
Open Controls -
In light of this berba news, is tevez to jelly for a hit worth it? Would then have to field both puncheon and demel If I don't transfer.
Open Controls -
Berba - 41,500 transfers in this GW - 4th highest transfered in striker. Now owned by 10.3% of people.
Slight spanner in the works for some people!Open Controls-
annoying though it, I'm glad i already have him.
Open Controls -
as a Man Utd fan, I've never considered him in my team.
Open Controls-
That makes no sense whatsoever - he was a good servant to the club, never whinged about being benched, scored plenty of goals.
Do you have Tevez?Open Controls-
Hmm i think you misunderstood. I just dont rate him.
Scored plenty of goals? You need to look at his stats again, even at his peak he couldnt score over 15 goals a season (apart from 2010-11).Open Controls-
Ah right, I did misunderstand. His goals to games ratio is pretty damn good. I'm not upset that we sold him, didn't really fit into the quick passing, fast counter-attacking style, but he was decent.

What would you do with this team?:
Federici Foster

Yaya Toure Bale Michu Ben Arfa Pienaar
Tevez Berbatov Torres
1.3m in bank. 1 FT.Open Controls-
that is a g-d awful strikeforce
Berba = injured
Tevez = rotation risk
Torres = crap
Can you afford Tevez to Aguero?Open Controls -
Midfield looks congested.

Ok done my transfer, [C] Jelly or Aguero this week? Jelly is against leaky South but I'm afraid he won't get full time.
Open Controls-
I'd go with Jelly.

So any news on how long Berba is likely to be out? If it's just 1 game, I'll just bench him. Be daft to sell if it's a minor injury.
Open Controls-
as far as we know it's just 1 game.

This is what I need to know now.
Was going to do Tevez > Aguero today, but now have
- A Johnson, doubt
- Berbatov ,out
- Tevez, may not startOpen Controls-
same 3 problems as me.
Still plan on selling Tevez thoughOpen Controls

can't decide whether to give the armband to RVP or fletcher?
Never thought I'd be saying that!Open Controls-
same, its a strange on but im leaning towards Fletcher, 100th pl game to if that makes any difference lol

don't think its that clear cut, fletcher is at home, bang in form, and playing wigan!
Open Controls

I'm in a similar one trying to decide between RVP fletcher and Ba/Lambert (on WC so torn between Ba and Lambert) π
Open Controls -
Take a punt on Fletch
Open Controls-
Think you might be right, wigan have conceded 2 goals on average per game.
You think RVP fletcher lambert or RVP Fletcher Ba ?Open Controls

Thinking of taking out Torres. Ba or Suarez? Or any better options?
Is my bench about right, and any other players I should be looking at transferring in?Open Controls -
HI, please bench 2 of them:
Rangel, Davies, Demel, Clyne.Open Controls -
who do i start now that berba's injured
a. davies @ stoke
b. demel @ qpr
c. guthrie H newcastleOpen Controls-
Guthrie, obviously

the tevez nonsense has to stop..all 4 of citys strikers are going to be rotated because of the champions league (manicini knows his job is on the line if they fail to get out of group stage again) while tevez owners might be annoyed tomorrow, aguero owners could be equally frustrated for the sunderland fixture. so shipping tevez out now doesnt make much sense, particularly if its for a hit(also tevez has been citys best player this season, its not like mancini hasnt noticed that)
Open Controls -
Friedel > Howard (4 point hit)?
Rest of the team
Federici
Cole Cuellar Zab
Hazard Santi Barfa Michu
Ba Podolski Tevez
Subs: Clyne, Guthrie HangelandOpen Controls -
With Berba out, i am definitely losing Tevez. Can't afford to have 2 strikers out.
Open Controls -
On my wildcard and I'm 0.2 short of being able to do Berbatov > RVP (yes I had a lot in the bank). If only there was a good cheap midfielder who I could get who's 0.2 cheaper than Sterling......oh wait!
