The Stock Check – Gameweek 8 – Sunday

Another red card, another tumultuous encounter – the Tyne- Wear derby didn’t let us down for drama but provided little of note for Fantasy Managers. Here’s the Stock Check with QPR’s clash with Everton still to come…

On The Up

Tim Krul
The Dutchman returned from injury to take his place in the Newcastle goal and, while he was far from busy in today’s game, his return lent further insurance to a steely rearguard action from the Magpies. He’s not back in the equation as a mid-price keeper option, having dropped to 5.3 in the Fantasy Premier League, with very strong fixtures to come.

Yohan Cabaye
A first goal of the season for a player who notched four goals and eight assists last term. The Frenchman could offer a cheaper route to Newcastle’s potential over their run of favourable fixtures but, with Cheick Tiote facing a three-match ban, there will be continued concern that Cabaye will remain deep-lying with his attacking potential muted.

Going Down

Steven Taylor
The Newcastle stalwart returned to fitness but only made the bench as Alan Pardew kept faith with Mike Williamson alongside the outstanding Fabricio Coloccini. Taylor might be expected to slot straight back into the lineup for the Gameweek 9 clash with West Brom but Williamson’s display was strong and Taylor’s ownership won’t be totally confident of an automatic start against the Baggies.

The Sunderland Attack
Demba Ba’s own goal rescued a point for a spirited Sunderland but the fact remains that they rarely forced Tim Krul into action. While Steven Fletcher has flourished on his arrival at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland have scored just four goals in their last five games, with Stephane Sessegnon, in particular, struggling to find any rhythm.

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

      saves you money nailed on strikers and main goal threat of thier teamand allows you to have a stronger mid and defence

      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.

        Kaca will play next week. I can see him having a big week, especially after having a rest after performing well in 2 internationals. Toure out is more of a pressing transfer IMO
