The Stock Check – Gameweek 8 – Sunday Part Two

Another own goal, another red card. Everton cling to a point at Loftus Road to frustrate Mark Hughes as the R’s remain rock bottom. Here’s the Stock Check on Sunday’s late kick-off…

On The Up

Junior Hoilett
Such a bright spark in Blackburn’s relegation season, Hoilett has struggled to cement a starting role in Mark Hughes’ new look outfit. The Canadian showed up today, however, firing the R’s in front via a Leighton Baines deflection and putting in a decent shift. Hoilett, offers an option in the R’s midfield, although if you’re looking to gamble on such a punt, Adel Taarabt is cheaper and arguably more potent.

Going Down

Steven Pienaar
Everton’s playmaker was harshly dismissed for two bookable offences – the second challenge looking innocuous to say the least. Pienaar is now set to serve a one-match ban that will see him sit out the Merseyside derby in Gameweek 9.

Anton Ferdinand
Dropped to the bench with Mark Hughes electing to start Ryan Nelsen and Stephane Mbia in central defence, Ferdinand’s starting role could now be at risk. Significantly, Nelsen has started the last six league outings for the R’s and is amongst the 4.0 defenders on offer in the FPL. Nelsen was withdrawn late on with cramp.

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

        Thank you to Daniel, who advised me to wait until the games were over before making any changes.

        So, with Pienaar out next game I guess it makes sense to bring forward my transfer to do Kaca -> Sterling

        Sound right?

        All free transfers used up as I’ve brought Ba in already.

        Don’t really like having both Eveton/Liverpool and Many City/Swansea but don’t want to take any more hits this season and not ready to use my WC just yet.

        Jussi
        Cuellar – Hangeland – Baines
        Kaca – Michu – Yaya – Cazorla
        Berba – Ba (c) – RVP

        Federici – Fabio – Pienaar – Rangel

          C) Federici -> Begovic.

          The Mata move is leaving me with 0.0 in the bank right now so will have to be done as early as possible. What should I do?

            Here is my team, with 2 FTs and 0.0 in the bank;
            Begovic-foster
            Baines-Gibbs-Demel-Hughes-Davies (swans)
            Dyer-Sterling-Cazorla-Bale-Pienaar
            Ba-RvP-Tevez
            Really need to get rid of Dyer and really want Mata but need to generate the funds, which option is best?
            a) RvP, Gibbs and Dyer to Rooney, Clyne and Mata
            b) Bale, dyer and Gibbs to Lennon, Mata and Caulker
            c) Baines, Gibbs and Dyer to Cuellar, Caulker/galles and Mata
            d) Baines and Dyer to Oscar and Caulker
            e) Gibbs and Dyer to Mertesacker and Morrison
            f) something else
            Any comments much appreciated.Sorry for the essay.

            would allow to have a midfield of Silva - Mata - Bale - Cazorla + a defence with both Baines and Ivanovic..
