With last night’s thriller at the Liberty drawing a line under Gameweek 4, we’ve time to assess the crucial statistics over the fixtures played out. There’s plenty on offer at the Emirates to take note of, while the other side of north London also offers reason for optimism.
Why did I pick Garay over Luisao. ALL THE WRONG CHOICES 😥
Open ControlsJonty said 2 days ago:
"Forwards are going to have to fight even harder to get bonus if their team keeps a clean sheet. Does this mean that there is now more value in getting strikers for teams with a dodgy rearguard as their defenders are less likely to steal their bonus glory?
Strikers with a dodgy defence- Giroud, Benteke
Strikers with a good defence -RVP, Soldado."
So I'm tempted by RVP > Giroud, so I can invest in a good defence which gives me Giroud, Sturrdge, Benteke upfront.
BUT has Giroud had his good run.......Open Controlsbruno yc
Open ControlsPailinho >> Ramsey for hit -4?
Open ControlsRamsey's mother wouldn't make this transfer

Do Rooney and RVP not get on with each other? Rooney wants nothing to do with him on the pitch.
Open ControlsThink Rooney has taken to heart Moyes comments about Van Persie being the main man. Given the effort Rooney puts into every game, tracking back, helping the team, for a manager to say that then it's like throwing all of that in your face. There's bound to be some resentment there and Rooney being more selfish to spite Moyes (which may be a positive thing for United).

All this "Rooney bad for RVP" nonsense. As an RVP owner, I look for Rooney on the team sheet!! United play MUCH better with Rooney linking midfield with attack, and that's great for Van Persie's chances.
Before someone quotes me David Moyes stating Rooney will play up top with Van Persie, first think about it. Rooney's natural game is to drop a little deeper... he's always been a no. 10. In my opinion, Moyes said that simply as a charm offensive because he needs him.
Is RVP worth 3.5m more than Rooney? Time will tell, but looking at the Manchester derby with United away, as an RVP owner I definitely want a fit and firing Rooney pulling the strings.Open ControlsThe shots get split between the strikers, even if the total shots increase. As an RVP owner I don't want him around.
Open ControlsBut United don't look like creating chances without Rooney?

Check the stats from last season. RVP's PPG dipped considerably when he played with Rooney. He drifts out wide more.
Open ControlsAnd further check the stats. Rooney's PPG dropped notably when he played with RVP.
Considerably is stronger than notablyOpen ControlsTeams always ease off slightly after the first goal (subconsciously or otherwise). With Rooney on the pitch then there's simply someone else on the pitch capable of scoring that first goal.
I haven't examined the stats - maybe there are other factors responsible - but just looking at the way United play, RVP leads the line and Rooney links the play.Open Controls

Open ControlsHate to bring it up, but have I missed any updates on Nani's disappearance?
Open ControlsNot the best time to ask for advice but shd I use my WC as I have 4 players dropping in price tonight 🙁
My team if i don't WC
Boruc
Ivan Coleman murner (ward Chester)
Brady Wally barfa coutinho (kim)
Giroud lambert RvpOpen Controlsvery similiar situation and looks like I will do it tonight, because I can't see 8 point hit worth it either.
Deadwood out and hot ones in + gaining 1m team value at the same time, could be worse.
Also good that don't have to "worry" about that wc then anymore 😉Open Controls
