Monitor – Michu

With just a single assist to show for his endeavours over the first three Gameweeks, Fantasy faith in Michu took a dent ahead of last Monday’s home clash with Liverpool. The Swansea midfielder shed almost 66,000 owners in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game and suffered a drop in price due to his lack of attacking returns but after opening his account against the Reds, he’s back on many a radar as Michael Laudrup’s side prepare for a kind upcoming run of fixtures.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Do we think Wilson is nailed on CM?

    I know he doesn't give any attacking threat but seems to be getting fair share of bonus

        Liverpool have no where near enough squad depth to think about rotating Moses. Who else do they have to replace him? It will be Henderson who misses out once the worst human alive has served his ban and all are fit.

    Ok so i keep looking at my frontline of RVP Benteke(c) Soldado and I can;t help thinking Soldado - Giroud for a -4.

    Can someone either shoot me down now so my mind can rest or agree that Giroud is likely to outscore Soldado by at least 4.

      Do it. Giroud will out score Soldado over the next 6 game weeks by more than 4 points in my opinion so you will make up your hit. Every one seems so obsessed with making up points hits immediately but you need to look at the bigger picture. Soldado didn't even have a shot on target against Norwich. I'm staying well clear until he proves he can score goals against PL defences.

    Shame the chat history only goes back a month as I was getting slated for suggesting Ramsey as a serious prospect pre-season. Feel free to slate me for not picking him now!

      I had him in for a day during my WC. Same thing. If we rated him that highly we would have had in our side.

      i wouldn't count on chelsea's Mid with that number of players in the same position
      Soldado though is the only striker that spurs count on

    Sturridge v Benteke v Walcott in my captaincy debate this week. Currently favouring Benteke, Norwich have looked very weak defensively so far.

    Stoke have 8 mids that have points (and have thus played) plus Wilson

    If you factor in that N'Zonzi and Walters look nailed that leaves 6 for 2-3 spots from Irealnd, Adam, Ethers, Pennant, Arnautovic and Whelan

    hmmmm

      Palacios when fit too. Haven't watched Stoke at all this season but I reckon Adam will be nailed on as attacking midfielder no?

      The last time I took out a supposedly "injured" player early on in the week (Anelka in GW3), it ALMOST bit me in the a*se.

      BTW, I also have Brady injured with £0.2m ITB if that changes anything.
