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:

So what does the members article acutally say about Sturridge vs Suarez?
Open Controls-
I'll give it a read now 😀
Open Controls-
Oh common, we all know which person you will pick 😉
Open Controls-
Both 😀
Open Controls
-
-
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
Open Controls-
So in conclusion its what we all know. Sturridge offers next to the same potential for 2.5-3m less.
Open Controls-
Errr no. The same in shots. But not chances created. Assists are only 1 point less for strikers too. and it's a less than 2 difference in price for me 😀

but RVP will playing away against QPR who managed a draw against Chelsea & City
Open Controls-
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 tablesOpen Controls -

Before I sleep, here's a stats table of strikers ordered by shot accuracy percentage (minimum 40 shots). Big surprise, Luis Suarez has the second worst shooting accuracy. Quite a few of the expected suspects in the worst 10 too - Jelavic, Cisse and Defoe.

It's quite funny noting that Suarez has a greater proportion of shots in the box (as opposed to long range potshots) than most of his rivals and still manages to outdo them for misses. Night.

Not really a surprise at all tbh. He shoots from anywhere at anytime and accuracy is hardly his strong point

A. enrique > evans/debuchy
B. gerrard > fellaini/nani.
C. anything else.
taOpen Controls-
Hey Berg.
Gerrard to Michu. Just for a laugh.
In all seriousness, I'd take Sturridge out and punt on someone like Giroud this GW.
Gerrard to Silva could also be feasible.Open Controls-
hey Snake.
actually i had that in mind too! regret that i ditched Michu with the WC (despite your disapproval, hah).
Gerrard > Silva is also a nice pick. thanksOpen Controls-
It was always a bad idea to dump Michu man. Tsk. 😉
Open Controls-
i got it right when he went into silent mode in the 2 GWs earlier, but really,really should've bring him in for the DGw instead of Gerrard. now i think i'm gonna swallow my pride and get him back, for a big loss!
Open Controls -
I sold him gw20. He got one assist in the next 6. Got him back last week. 18 points 😎
Open Controls

how much attention to the potential GW 29 blanks do you want to put on this transfer?
heavily weighted = debuchy
not so heavily weighted = fellainiOpen Controls-
not so heavy. so should it be afro? i like his fiztures but his positioning now worries me.
Open Controls
-
-
Gerrard to fellaini is the obvious 1. Will give you a headache in 2 weeks time again if everton blank (expect them to beat oldham at home in cup), but nor READ is about as strong as fixtures can be
Open Controls-
yep, gerrard> afro is the obvious and practical move. but silva is also an interesting pick. you think?
Open Controls-
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.Open Controls
-
-
-
Davies to someone cheap. Swans fixtures are looking tough for defenders.
Open Controls-
you think so ILF? but he has potential attacking return despite the low price, and i got him on the cheap.
say what, now i think i will do gerrard > afro, and davies > evans next week. and i will have Zaba - Enrique - Evans backline. now that looks tasty.Open Controls-
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....Open Controls-
you're right. very, very big trouble in front of me. but it's still uncertain right? the blanks for United & City?
Open Controls-
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 outOpen Controls
-
-
-
-
-
gerrard out. take your pick of sissoko and afro. or nani/hba if you're feeling a bit of a punt. lamps is another good shout
Open Controls-
i think afro is the obvious candidate. nani imo is a high risk, hih reward punt like pod the other day. sorry, not a fan of doubling up so no lamps for me.
TW, dinamika has agreed to become my partner in crime (see above). let the game begins already!Open Controls-
yeah nani is definitely high risk high reward. like i said, only if you're feeling like a punt.
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 likelyOpen Controls
-

-
-
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."Open Controls-
Reply fail to squeakybumtime

Thats in favour of both for varying reasons. Te idea is for each to make their mind up
Personally ive sold suarez for cisse and held sturridgeOpen Controls

If Papiss continues to disappoint over the next 3-4, I may just have to swallow my pride and get Sturridge in to join RVP and Kun.

Papiss Cisse has no double digit scores this season and has not received but 4 baps, highest being 2 in a match.
Yikes. He's off the list.Open Controls-
surely the new signings plus the return of hba should change things. plus he has a fixture in gw 29 which is a big plus.
but i am skeptical of him at least for the time beingOpen Controls-
touche.
3 games with the new guys and 1 goal at AV.
Just doesn't feel enough to take the Suarez spot, think I'd rather have Gouffran twere he were healthy.Open Controls-
yeah not convincing enough yet. i'd prefer aguero or lambert as a suarez replacement.
i've got with giroud for a 1 week punt (or maybe i'll keep him for spurs too, haven't decided...) to give me time to evaluate if i want aguero lambert or cisseOpen Controls-
have the money to get Aguero in and that will prob end up being my move
that just forces me to find the Fellaini -> Bale funds for GW 29 elsewhere, was wondering if I should start building some of that bank now
Giroud was lookin good, but has been unimpressive last fewOpen Controls-
if you can i'd hold off on aguero because he could have a blank in gw 29 too.
Open Controls-
right, there in lies the rub, 10 players this week and by choice Michu is locked so no Michu to Sissoko.
2 FT for GW 29 may not be enough with my team

RVP
goonna be fun to get out of this one
thanks for your time TWOpen Controls

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 soonOpen Controls

Crap......I havent been on much recently so was unaware of the blank in GW29. I've already used my two frees this GW to bring in players who have a blank in GW29 (Aguero & DDG). That was pretty stupid 😕
Anyway looking at that week, really happy that Reading have a really decent fixture. Will be time to roll out Pearce and Pog again.
If I bring in Suarez before then i should be able to play with 10men that week (no GK)Open Controls -
-
Yep.
Open Controls -
I have been asking that EXACt same question for 3 days now
Open Controls -
Depends who you are selling him for, he's certainly looking a decent prospect.
I was considering dropping Afro for him in a couple of GWs when Afros fixtures toughen up. However, this pending blank GW will probably put a stop to thatOpen Controls-
afro probably has a blank gw though and sissoko definitely has a fixture
Open Controls-
aggghhhhh......So the Arse v Everton game is a risk too 😕
Crap, crap and crap again. So ther is a chance I will not have Wally or Afro for that GW as well. I'm screwed!Open Controls-
ars-everton is the most likely to be a blank
followed by chelsea-fulhamOpen Controls-
Mmmm....ok. I'm playing catch-up here so bear with me.
So the games most likely to be on are the City & Utd ones, but Arse and Everton is most likely to be off.
I would be very happy with that scenario (even if Chels game is off too) I have 2 City and 2 Utd. It would ruin my score if those games are offOpen Controls-
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 matchesOpen Controls

Morning peeps 🙂
what do you guys think about HBA as a potential Fellaini replacement in the near future? i have the power 5 and would like to keep it that way untill Aguero/Cisse hits some form. Fellaini looks the most likely to make way for HBA(can be a major differential as people would have got Sissoko).Open Controls-
HBA interests me as well as a stopgap during the mega blank. He has glass legs though.
Open Controls-
hey Snake..
really hope that he stays fit. he will be on pens and free kicks as well. hoping for an end of season mega run from him. it's great that we have 2 gws to watch him before we make a move. can gain major ground against Sissoko owners.Open Controls

So whats your teams headcount for this GW?
I have 10 playing with 1 question mark (Demel). So I might get 11 out with a bit of luckOpen Controls-
3 Question marks in Anichebe, Shaw and Marveaux. Getting 10 players out, one of them being Nani.
Open Controls-
Very intersting call is Nani. He's been a fantasy darling the last few seasons for me but has dissapeared off the radar this season.
I watched the Reading game and he was very threatening. If he can nail down a spot in the team then he could be the ultimate differential to finish the season (until everyone else buys him 😉 )Open Controls

-
11, following a hit. No real doubts
Open Controls-
-
Not yet no. Don't care much for value, more worried about getting 11 out especially this week.
Open Controls-

Suarez + Michu –> Aguero + Sissoko
Open Controls-

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

-
@Berbilly - so you selling Suarez and keeping Sturridge?
Open Controls-
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.Open Controls

Relax Dave, this is fun. I said it prior to the DGW and I'm, saying it again...often these Gw's where half the fixtures are missing can be just as profitable(if not more) then a monster DGW. Especially where we are ranked(+/- 10k).
Then again everything can go tits up of course.

So, you also selling Durex and Keeping Sturridge?Open Controls-
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.Open Controls-
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.Open Controls

Open Controls -
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.
Gripping stuff.Open Controls-
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?Open Controls-
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.

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...Open Controls-
Only in Saffaland! 😆
Open Controls -
....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"

What's your 1st choice though? Do you plan on studying here in Cali or staying in the East Coast?
Open Controls-
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.Open Controls-
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..Open Controls-
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 winOpen Controls-
Its stupid but it somehow works. They've been Champs 4 out of the past 5 years i think.
Just up to you, whether you plan to focus on school, or try to fit both into your schedule. Whichever you chose I wish you the best of luck!Open Controls -
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)?Open Controls
