[sbu_large_image] The Stock Check

A dubious penalty, compounded by a red card, knocks the wind out of Wigan but hands Demba Ba the platform to reward the faith of his army of Fantasy owners. Here’s the Stock Check from Monday’s events…

On the Up

Demba Ba
The Senegalese striker went into tonight’s game having scored just once in his last five league appearances but rewarded the patience of his owners with a brace. Ba converted the early spot-kick before leaping on the rebound from Davide Santon’s effort to take him to ten goals for the season. Tonight’s returns will earn him further interest, although Ba was struggling with his hamstring late on, with Alan Pardew optimistic post-match that this was just stiffness rather than a setback.

Fabricio Coloccini
The towering Argentine has emerged as the most popular member of the Newcastle defence in terms of FPL ownership and his return to the Magpies’ back four has added the stability that helped them to their first clean sheet in ten league outings.

Going Down

The Wigan Defence
Robbed of Antolin Alcaraz for much of the season and with further niggles biting, Roberto Martinez now faces more problems at the back with Maynor Figueroa banned for the vital home clash with QPR, while Gary Caldwell picked up his fifth booking tonight which will also see him miss the weekend. With Ivan Ramis remaining an injury doubt, the Latics look set to field a patched-up back four for the visit of Harry Redknapp’s side.

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

    Here's the Mancini CL presser. He mentions Silva's injury (~1:10). Do we think he's lying? The scratching of the chin? The closing of the eyes and the shaking of the head?

        There was talk of him having deciding to rest Silva for the CL game and playing up Silva's injury ahead of the derby in order to gain some kind of advantage. Whether it's true I'm not sure but I just thought this would be interesting to add to the discussion.

          Well if it is a mind games trick he picked the right player because tactically you'd have to prepare carefully to face Silva's style of attack.

            Only thing I would say is Berbatov is a very streaky player. He has exploded in games in the past. I remember my bro telling me he had Berbatov for a while and he was just not doing the business. Then the week he sold him he scored 4 goals against Blackburn!

          I don't know that I would do that. I'm pretty content with RVP-Giroud-Defoe

          as long as Defoe starts when Adebayor comes back...such great value.

      I'm holding on to my big hitters. Hopefully I haven't made a mistake in not taking advantage of Michu's daily rises...Silva should be back and do well. Got an assist in each of the matches I know for sure. Might have gotten 2 assists at OT. He definitely scored there. One of the best assists I've ever seen to Dzeko. I hope that makes you feel better lol.

    Morning guys,

    Apologies for the long post, but I need some help please.

    Ba seriously punished me last night for transfering him out. For a hit as well!

    Unsure about my team for the weekend and unsure what to do.

    Plans were to do either:

    A. Hold onto the transfer for a week

    or

    B. Rangel -> Davies and Pienaar -> Fellaini (-4)

    Now am wondering whether to do:

    C: Bale -> Fellaini

    Fellaini's due to rise and Bale's due to drop.
    If Silva's out, I may have a problem fielding 11 players.

    Thoughts please guys.

    Mignolet
    Rangel - Cuellar - Shorey
    Pienaar - Sterling - Michu - *Silva - *Bale
    Berbatov - Van Persie

    Jaaskelainen - Cameron - *Suarez - *Jones B

      I would do C to be honest. Then moving ahead you should upgrade Pienaar to Walcott and decide if you want Silva or to bring Bale back for him. My two cents anyway

    I think it's good move but also think that you'll be wanting to get bale back in as soon as he's fit. I have no chelsea or city coverage and don't see a way of attaining either without getting rid of bale 🙁

      Not really. It's so expensive and when you have Suarez and Tevez picking up plenty of points too, it makes it hard to justify.

      If Valencia was fit and on form it would give us a nice route into some more united attacking points.

      Just RVP for me (for now)
