If ever there was a team to scrutinize for a Moneyball piece, it is Stoke. Theyโre unfashionable and uninspiring with a reported philosophy that is about as far from Fantasy Football as one can get. Such characteristics, though, give us an opportunity to find value, and it is to the Britannia where weโll turn our attention this week.

Hi guys,
On a WC and came up with this team.
Begovic Jussi
Baines Rafael Hughes Wilson Fonte
Cazorla Bale Pienaar Routledge Sterling
RVP Tevez Berbatov
Good to go?
Would you make any changes?
Any advice would be much appreciated.Open Controls-
Looks good to me.
Maybe consider one of Begovic or Wilson, but to be honest I'm considering doing the same double up.Open Controls-
At their prices and with their fixtures I thought it might be a gamble that could pay off.

Looks good. Will Hughes keep his place when Senderos is fully fit?
Open Controls-
Thought Hughes was pretty much nailed on. Forgot about Senderos. Is he due to return soon?
Open Controls-
How come no one mentioned this Senderos bloke until I put Hughes in? Was 0.1 short for getting Hangeland in who I really wanted. He will definitely score now :-/
Open Controls -
Any time soon, I posed the question earlier and got no response. Not trying to scaremonger, just I'm getting in Hughes on WC and will get Riise if there is a doubt.

Need some help.
I am looking to wildcard next week.
1 free transfer and o.8m in bank.

Williams (Swansea @ home), Baines (QPR away), McCartney (Southampton @ home)
McClean (Newcastle @ home), Hazard (Spurs away), Michu (Wigan @ home), Pienaar (QPR away)
RVP (Stoke @ home), Fletcher (Newcastle @ home), Tevez (WBA away)

By Silva will miss the next two games, does he mean this game and the CL game or 2 Prem games?
Open Controls-
Silva will play this weekend.
Mankini was counting the two sofa soccer games Silva wanted to play with his wife tonight.Open Controls -
I think he said he was hopeful he would be available against Swans.
Open Controls -
Mancini said he will miss WBA and the CL game midweek. Said he "may" be fit for Swansea

Cheers all. (Except Christina)

Jaaskelainen
Baines - Hangeland - Rangel
Pienaar - Yaya - Michu - Carzola (vc)
Berbatov - Van Persie - Suarez (c)
Federici - Kacaniklic - Cuellar - FabioOpen Controls -
Jussi
Clyne,Ridgewell,G.Johnson
Michu,Yaya,Hazard,Cazorla
Berba,Tevez,Torres
Cech,Sterling,Gunter,Fabio
Just used my FT on Graham->Berba, should i use -4 t sort out my defence? Fabio->Wilson maybe and bench Ridgewell?
Correct lineup other than than? Who to captain(?), on Cazorla atm.Open Controls -
Has the miserable ginger Gollum told us whether Fellaini is injured or not, he's already cost me 0.1 waiting for him to bless us with the news

1 mill ... 1 FT
Save transfer or get a defender in for demel. which one?Open Controls -
Once and for all, lets get this done with!
Berba or Giroud?
Go!Open Controls -
Hi all, this is my current team, 1 FT to make
Foster/Begovic
Clyne Terry Demel Davies Baines
Pienaar michu sterling hazard gervinho
RVP Jelavic Berbs
I need to sub out Terry, but for who?! Seems over the next 2-3 gameweeks that City have the best potential for clean sheets out of the top teams. Is Kompany too much of a gamble (rotation), Was thinking maybe Vermaelen.
Thanks!Open Controls -
Super bored so I think I'm going to make a team up of differentials and see how they do every week.
Open Controls-
What if they do so well that everyone gets them and they stop being differentials?
Open Controls-
Woah, one step at a time....
Open Controls -
Then I guess I'll have to move on to the potential next big thing. I'm not expecting this experiment to go very well btw.

Demel out is annoying, home vs Southampton, def clean sheet possibility. Going to leave him in just in case it's a blind, but Clyne or Shawcross as first sub. Clyne I suppose...

Yep. I just have Gorkss ... ๐

Who to start in the front 5? I guess I have to take out Duff to fit my new signing Gervinho in. Or take out Defoe against the tough Chelsea defense since I've got Bale to cover?

Bale (CHE), Michu (WIG), Duff (AVL), Hazard (tot)
