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 Nelsen was withdrawn late on with cramp.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

    Time to WC? Or may WC after the QPR game. Gambled on 3 ARS attackers for NOR, did not go well obviously....

    Foster Federici
    Baines Ivanovic Hughes McCartney Cuellar
    Cazorla Gervinho Michu Pienaar Noble
    Podolski Tevez Torres.

    Benched Noble this week of course!

      Why not just transfer one of your arsenal players after QPR ?

      Not a great deal wrong with your squad. Just get begovic this week. You'll be fine.

      No! Downgrade Ivan and upgrade Torres and you have a workable team for next week.

    what do people think of a Berba - Ba - Jelly strikeforce?

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

      silva is injured right now so no use having him

      also missing rvp and aguero/tevez. You will regret it

    Anyone have any information on Danny Guthrie? Why did he miss the previous games?

    He played 80 mins v Liverpool so I assume he is back in the side now?

      Because he wanted to pass the ball rather than lump it long to Pog.

    Might look a bit foolish but I think he's had his share of luck.
    Care to suggest anyone??

      He's had his share of (bad) luck. We owners should have at least two more goals so far. They just keep getting denied penalties!

    RVP > rooney looks reallly tempting. But considering their next away match with chelsea, I think its better to stick with RVP now.
