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:

        Suarez has more ball in attacking third and created more chances. Have the same no. of shots, sturridge about 0.9 more on target, he has a slighty better goal threat. Suarez has more PPG when both have them have been playing, he actually hasn't been that much depper than sturridge in average positions too

            Its RVP though.

            He scored heavily away to chelsea and scored at city, spurs, much more formidable than QPR. Read the members articles during the week if your a member. United near top of shots/chances created, QPR rock bottom in defensive stats tables

          Ya for sure silva is a world class player, just not quite producing the fpl points that he *should

          Had him earlier in the season and he is a great differential, every weekend brings renewed optimism. CHEL avl is tricky(ish) and i much prefer fellaini's fixtures. If you didnt have cisse i would have recommended sissoko, but thats overkill.

          Nani could be explosive but from what i remember its at OT he does
          Most of his damage.

          only problem is afro and evans could both have blanks in gw 29 😯

          add to that the 4 players you already have with potential blanks and you could be in big trouble....

              it's uncertain still. but imo they will be blanks.

              for the games to go ahead midweek it would take approval from UEFA and i doubt UEFA will approve games for two of the biggest teams in england, and the top 2 teams in england, to play games and take away from the viewership of CL matches

              too risky to go up to 6 possible blank players and only have 2 transfers to sort it out

          save your transfers til saturday and hope we hear something about when the manchester games will be played. would be a poor move to bring in afro and evans if you will have 6 players with blanks. and at a minimum plan on everton-ars and che-ful being blanks as those look pretty likely

    Paul's summary says it all imo
    " While the Uruguayan is perhaps likely to edge Sturridge for overall points from here on in, the latter certainly looks better value, given their vastly differing FPL price tags (10.8 to 7.8). If budget isn’t an issue, Suarez’s stats key stats are still the more enticing but, with a goal or assist in all five of his appearances for his new club, Sturridge’s consistency is rare amongst mid-price alternatives and is likely to earn him plenty more investors once the blank is behind us."

        He's relatively high in the table you posted above TW for SoT.
        He is a high risk/reward player if there ever was one. Could get 4 two pointers on the trot now, but i fully suspect last seasons heroics weren't a flash in the pan. He definitely is getting the chances on target, even in europe, just not converting. Can see him going on a run soon

                pretty much. the article below explains it. chelea-ful and ars-eve are directly impacted by fixtures so are most likely to have blanks of certain results (which look likely) take place

                the two manchester games come down to when the clubs schedule the games as there's nothing that says the games have to be rescheduled to midweek. and we believe (though are not 100% sure) that in order for the games to go ahead midweek it would take approval from UEFA. and i doubt UEFA will approve games for two of the biggest teams in england, and the top 2 teams in england, to play games and take away from the viewership of CL matches

                  Somewhat, but Sissoko's cheaper price tag and roll behind Cisse looks amazing, not to mention HBA is coming back from injury etc.

                  Yes, I am. Looks incredible value, and don't let that performance against the Swansea Reserves fool you. I think Sturridge's points will only be slightly less than Suarez's.

                  I basically agree with this article as a Liverpool supporter.

          Sorry Christina, got called away. I'm a bit disappointed about the points and rank, tbh. Made a couple of simple mistakes recently that cost a few points - these things usually equal themselves out but it's the bad choices we remember. You're steaming up there, I see. Top 1,000 is a bit far maybe but we live in hope.

          I was leaning towards ditching Suarez for Aguero and keeping Studge but I'm not so sure now given the possible horrorshow of GW29. RVP, Suarez & Lambert looks excellent value according to the RMT thing and the latter two will definitely have a game in 29. Lambchop is cheaper than Studge and his projected points total is almost the same. Food for thought. Actually, a front 3 of RVP, Studge & Lambert is probably the best value of all. With that attack you can have a decent 5-man midfield and a boss defence to boot.

          Totally undecided, in short. It feels wrong selling the second highest scorer this season with decent fixtures coming up but I may do it. Will postpone any decisions till after the Euro Vase games tonight.

            Yeah, sure Sturridge is probably better value but it's tough selling Suarez.

            Suarez+Tevez/Dzeko vs Kun+Sturridge...?

            The way South/Lambchops are playing he is a must even with LIV/CHEL coming up.

        He and 2 of his police buddies got pissed and started firing on a taxi with 7 people in side. All three face 7 attempted murder cases.

        I'm following the case on as live update and it's is like combination of Hangover and Blade Runner.

          So what do you think happened with Pistorious? From what I've read it's looking like he's had a bust-up with his missus, she locked herself in the bathroom and he shot her three times though the door. Then he's called his brother and lawyer (before the police even), theyve come round and helped him with his story and what not.

          Sound about right to you?

            yeah, sounds about right. Also it doesn't make sense that he thinks he's being robbed by an intruder. What's an intruder looking to steal in the bathroom? Shower gel? hair curlers? Oh, and he says he thought his gf was in bed next to him when he got up. Surely you would notice that she clearly isn't, unless she made a dummy out of pillows.

              He claims that the building contractors that worked on his house left a ladder outside the bathroom where he hasn't got any burglar bars.

              So how the hell would the intruders enter the 24hour security estate with guards?

            I'm not so sure anymore after yesterday. There's two sides to the story though and we will have to see what today brings. State's case look very very weak after yesterday...

            The Investigating officer admitted to..

            1. Contaminating the crime scene(not wearing protective boots)
            2. The so called steroids found is actually legal herbal medication
            3. One of the people that claims to have overheard an argument between the two stays 600m from them
            4. Police missed a bullet casing in the bathroom after investigating the scene
            5. Nothing that the police have found contradicts what Oscar has said
            6. Police found 4 Iphones and 3 blackberry's in house...none of them were used to make the call to the Netcare call centre....police didn't even bother finding out where the call was made from...
            7. Oscar has a shoulder injury(with bandage on)..that was the reason he slept on the other side of the bed(then usual) and did not notice Reeva wasn't in bed when he went to investigate the noise

            Crucial will be the rumor that there was an sms received from Saffer rugby player Francois Hougaard on here Ipad that could have sparked the row...

              ....but I agree...a normal person would first push the panic button(I'm sure he will have one..since he stays in a security estate and claims to have had death threats)

              Secondly you would whisper to your blow up doll..."baby there is someone in the house...get downstairs...phone the cops...are you ok"

              Doesn't make sense.

            i'm not certain tbh. got a handful of top choices... guess it'll come down to scholarship money in part. and also which schools I can play soccer for (if any). then might have to do some extra research and weigh pro's and cons and make some extremely tough decisions. i'm excited to hear back from schools but dreading having to decide!

            I really like cali and have a lot of schools I like in there but also like northwestern and a couple schools on the east coast.

              Playing soccer for your college/uni soccer takes a lot of your free time. They offered me a scholarship but I opted not to. My university is ranked 1st in Ontario and practice 4-5 times per week (basically once a day).

              The thing that put me off the most is that my school has a stupid seniority rule. Basically I can be better than the whole team, but they play seniors/ players who have been on the team longer first. Stupid I know..

                yeah college teams in the u.s. practice at least once per day. the lever of commitment depends if it's division 1, 2 or 3 though. i'd only play at a division 3 school both because of my ability (not good enough for higher divisions) and because division 1 has insane commitment, basically your sport is your life at division 1 schools.

                ohh that's extremely stupid! the point should be to play the best players so you can win

                  nothing wrong with playing D3, although if you're weighing scholarship money, you may be thinking about that as more of a fallback. it probably varies more from school to school, but some of the D3 programs are very serious. let me know if you are considering any of the D3 soccer programs in the SoCal area.

    Do I need to take a hit this week? Team as follows, 3.6 in the bank:

    Federici
    Baines Cameron Wilson Demel
    Bale Walcott Fellaini Sissoko
    RVP Pog

    Subs: Reina; Davies Michu Sturridge

    In theory, I have eleven players, but serious doubts over Wilson and Demel. Is a -4 worth it (to get Evans, say)?
