Versus – Daniel Sturridge & Luis Suarez

With Liverpool facing a blank Gameweek this time round, sales of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge are picking up pace. The Uruguayan has so far seen over 73,000 owners part company, while Sturridge has been moved on by 38,000+, despite a strong set of fixtures to follow. Indeed, with an upcoming schedule that pits Brendan Rodgers’ side against four of the current bottom six in their next six fixtures from Gameweek 28 onwards (wig, TOT, sou, avl, WHM, rea), we analyse the performances of the pair since Sturridge’s arrival from Chelsea last month:

        Was set on selling Suarez until today when I started seriously thinking about keeping both.

        The article confirms what I thought.

        Consistency is the only worry for Sturridge, but for 3 million less, it's worth the risk

          Well I'm keeping Suarez too. Initial plan was to get Rooney for him as I'm going RVP-less now. But Suarez is too explosive.

      sturridge plus 3 mil versus suarez. seems an easy sturridge vote. but if cash was no issue.. then i'd be playin a different fantasy football game. but it is and i'm not. sooo gooo sturridge. hell even if you sell suarez it ain't like you can't buy him back. for me i'd only keep suarez if i got him for reasonably cheap and felt like i couldn't brave a post-gw27 terrorscape without his cuddly rodent-features to mollify my frightened soul

          I see your point, and the wild pot shots do his stats no good whatsoever. But having owned him on many occasions, I've witnessed a fair few clear cut chances go begging as well. He can finish very well, just not when I captain him 😀

    Thought's on what transfers I should make this week? I've got 2 free transfers. Obviously main priority is to get rid of the Swansea/Liverpool players. I've made a lot of money on Michu and Suarez, so I'm not too keen to get rid of them.

    GK - Begovic, Cerny

          Yeah I had both and I think you will make more money and points with him going forward. I just could not have 2 forwards not playing this week. I went for Cisse bit of a punt but decent fixtures should always play and no danger of a blank on week 29.

    Great piece, definitely the hot topic this week. I confess I'd expected the difference in Suarez' favour to be more pronounced, certainly that was my subjective impression of the games. The comparison in terms of raw points perhaps flattered Sturridge slightly though - he was given a penalty he wouldn't normally get and Suarez was denied an assist by Gerrard's miss against WBA. FWIW I'm keeping both over the blank.
