As Man United approach an eye-catching run of games which could potentially see Sir Alex Ferguson’s side rack up the Fantasy returns, Wayne Rooney has staked a strong claim for consideration after bagging a brace for the second Gameweek in succession. Rooney’s stock has suffered a significant drop this season due to the arrival of Robin Van Persie but as the campaign unfolds, he’s starting to look a real differential, with many Fantasy managers even considering both forwards for a run of games which sees the Red Devils welcome Sunderland, Newcastle and West Brom to Old Trafford, in addition to trips to Swansea and Wigan in the next five:
I did Mig > Szceccxsxzscnzny, if that helps. Arsenal fixtures are fantastic untill WC time.
Open Controls
No chance waiting until the Jan WC?
Open Controls
Mignolet > Szczesny
Open Controls
Ruddy. He's out for a while apparently. Upgrade to Berg, or schwarz (fixtures).
Open Controls
narrowed it down to Schwarzer or Schezney?
Open ControlsSchezny is probably better but schwarz 0.2 mill cheaper so depends if you need the cash.
Open Controls
Szczesny or De Gea (if you fancy a punt and can afford him)
Open Controls
haven't read the article yet but i imagine that the RvP -> Rooney bandwagon starts here.
RvP as a differential. who'd have thunk it?Open Controls
Walcott, out for tonight but back on the weekend??
Wishful thinking?Open Controls
no one can possibly know, haver to wait
Open Controls
i'm aiming for the following team over xmas
bego jussi
nastasic cameron davies shorey X
fellaini puncheon mata michu bale
torres suarez X
so the final 2 spots which sounds better
1)enrique and rooney + 1.1m
2)5.3m(possibly sagna or other) def and RVPOpen Controlsjust enough cash to do:
RvP -> Rooney
Le Fondre -> Suarez
Walcott -> Bale
yes?Open Controls
RVP vs Rooney
Now that they are playing more as a partnership, there is very little to choose between them and Rooney being 2m cheaper would seem to be the better value option. If I was on a wildcard I may well go with Rooney instead of RVP.
The problem is, without a WC, I have always got more pressing transfers than a sideways move such as this, so it would cost a hit plus then another transfer to actually spend the spare funds.Open ControlsCuellar and Sterling -> Sagna and Punchy? Sound about right?
Open Controls
Anh idea when Sess will drop ?
Wanna bring Bale back but how long do I have ?Open Controlsthis sounds like speed 3
Open Controls
Berba and Walcott due to fall again do we think?
Open Controls
Anyone think rvp AND rooney could be the way to go?
Open Controls
Could pay off well while utd have great fixtures but still feel like it's putting all eggs in one basket.
Open Controls
In the basket of the most attacking team in the league though.
Open ControlsI don't know maybe you're right, good luck to anyone that goes for it 🙂
Open Controls
it's 2 eggs. aka a goalscoring omlette
Open Controls
if i was to carry eggs for a living i would find one basket is best method, surely it is harder to carry more than one
Open Controls
I would use an egg carton. Custom designed for all your egg-transporting needs.
Open Controls
All excellent egg related points 🙂
Yeah could have said eggsellent but didn't want to spoil it.Open Controlsegg theory is what makes people buy silva over dempsey 4 matches ago
Open Controls
Now there's an idea
Open Controls
Who will score most points form next weekend till wildcard?
a berb
b torres
c rooney
Put them in order of preference please. Cash not important.Open Controls
Jack Wilshere was looking pretty good in the MotD highlights the other day....
Anyone think he is worth a punt for an Arsenal mid?Open Controls
If you have no others and could do with the money somewhere else then certainly
Open Controls
I actually think he could be.
Open Controls
He played in the hole during the second half with Santi dropping back. And here is a comparison of the passes completed by both of them http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/0frXD.png One to keep a close eye on.
Open Controls
Thinking of a 4 point hit to do ..
Fletcher--> Suarez
Gunter--> Caulker ( or any better option defender for 5.0 or less)
Worth the hit? Can't have injury doubt hanging around my team this week cos have Ivanovic out on top of also having Giroud (inj) and rafael (rot)...as well as not wanting to play Cueller away to Man Utd.Open ControlsNarrowed it down to:
Mignolet to Schwarzer/Schezney?
Which 1?Open Controlsor Foster (when is he back?)
Open ControlsSchezney...his two home games in next 5 are against WHU and NEW...clean sheet potential there. Fulhams two home games are against SOT and SWA..both scoring more goals...
Open Controls😉 same answer as earlier, Szczesny.
Open Controls
When you only have 2 players left to save your GW, I hate it when one of them is your captain who needs to score as many as possible and the other is your GK who you need to keep a CS
It's then you start praying for daft things like penalty saves.
All a bit silly reallyOpen ControlsWell a goal from your captain is going to be worth more than a CS so I would pray for that
Personally I am praying for 2-1 with the following:
1. two goals from Sessegnon.
2. a penalty save from Federici [peno taken by AJ]
3. a goal from Morrison, whose ankle miraculously healed.
4. Fletcher to watch from the stands.
This would bring my GW points up to somewhere around the average.Open Controls
*Wojciech Szczęsny

*reply fail
Open Controls
Both in form, both have good fixtures. Perfect storm, get them both.
Open ControlsPerfect storm? are they too big too fail also?
Open Controls
I can see it now, a couple of 1-0 wins for united with goals scored from likes of j evans or fletcher and people will be crying over their rvp and rooney front 2
Open Controlsrag bag of teams left in the league cup.
Bradford - Arsenal
Norwich - Villa
Swans - Midd
Leeds - ChelsOpen Controls
Rooney is so tempting but for me it'd have to be doubling up and I can't bring myself to do it with Demba staying put and with Suarez's current fixtures. Could change depending on how Luis performs, my patience will wear thin and if he goes, it's for rooney or crawling back to tevez.
Open Controls
A guy above me in one of my works ML has made only 3 transfers this season so far! 😯
I know we spend alot of time on here discussing transfer strategies, but when luck plays a big part in this game, I'm thinking sometimes it's better have patience and leave my team alone, especially when it comes to the big hitters. Swapping them around for last weeks points is so frustrating.
...and yes, I'm keeping Berbatov. 😉Open Controls

I made no transfers this week, despite the DGW, even with tonights game still to go, I think I will get more points than most this week.
The problem is, people transfer in good players, if they dont score one week, they then transfer them out for average players that scored last week!!!
Just dumb.
Sometimes in life, the best thing to do is... nothing.Open Controls*picks himself up from the floor* RonH agrees with me. 😯
I feel strangely elated, and alittle afraid. 😉Open Controls
Who is most likely to make way for Assou-Ekotto when he's fit again, Caulker or Gallas?
Open Controls
Absolutely fantastic article Paul, kudos.
While it is a risk having the both of them in your team, I think over the next 5 gameweeks their combined score will be more than any other pair of strikers out thereOpen Controls
Touches in penalty box is pretty low from both.
Open Controlsdid you heck the pensioner column? rooney's box touches rocket
Open ControlsCome again? Are you getting both AB? It is very tempting with them fixtures.
Open Controls
RVP's 7th highest over the past 4 weeks.
Johnson's 8th 😀Open ControlsHaha, i was .2 off getting him a few weeks back, had to settle for Skrtel. You've done well getting him early.
Open Controls
What should be my priority?
Fletcher out?
Sess out?
Wisdom out?Open ControlsFletcher or Sess
Open Controls
11 years, 4 months agoRuddy or Mig out this week?
Who to? Got 0.4 in the bank.
Defence is Cameron, Enrique, Ridgwell Demel and Clyne
