Yes, we know this week’s battle for the armband is done and dusted. With 86% of the votes cast, Luis Suarez is the undisputable favourite as Liverpool prepare for the visit of Cardiff on Saturday. The Uruguayan is hunting his fifth successive double-figure haul at Anfield and it’ll be a brave, or perhaps desperate, Fantasy manager who goes against the grain. Once again, our midweek regular for members sifts through the statistics to ascertain whether there really is anyone else worth considering:
Im late to the party. Whats the news on Rooney?

Stuck on bottom of last page...
Does anyone know when the half-season membership becomes available? Feel like it's worth giving back to an awesome site.Open ControlsSo if Moyes is granted a New Year miracle and somehow manages to sign Reus... would you get him?
Open Controls
In a heartbeat.
But, it won't happen.Open ControlsI hope it does, 9 goals in 18 games in all competitions so far this season. If he comes in at the 9 million area I would get him in straight away.
Open Controls
Ya of course quality footballer
Open Controls
If he goes to EPL he's going to Arsenal 🙁
Open Controls
What's the deal with the Rooney yellow flag? Surely he'll play against West Ham?
Open Controls
Haha, watch this interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INyKP4vdOcw
No chance of Rooney actually being injured, seems fairly obvious that Moyes isnt concerned about it with that smile after the "we'd hope so, yes".Open ControlsCan you all tell me if I have this team lined up correctly?
Howard
Coleman, McAuley, Collocinni
Ramsey, Hazard, Silva, Coutinho
Suarez, Remy, Lukaku
Williams, Ravel, DawsonOpen ControlsYeah for sure
Open Controls
narrowed my kosc replacement down to 2
jags....double up on eve def (have coleman) for great fix, baps machine
rafeal......also great fix, better attacking threat, great diff, but is he nailed on starter?
which way would u go?Open ControlsI like Rafael if he was guaranteed starts! Attacking threat is a bonus. I have doubled up on Everton myself though
Open Controls
First to 13.
a) Henderson
b) Sterling
c) DzekoOpen Controls
I think I'm gonna take a gamble on Welbeck. I'll upgrade Amalfitano to Yaya at the same time,
Kun can come back on my WC, but not sure its worth risking getting Rooney in now.......Open Controls
Worth taking a hit for Terry>Coleman or hits Terry>Ward & Shelvey>Walcott?
MY TEAM:
Speroni/Marshall
Distin, Evra, Terry
Silva, Shelvey, Hazard, Ramsey
Lukaku, Rooney, Suárez
(Chester, Baker, Brady)Open ControlsNot worth a hit no.
Open Controls
Not sure which one to bench out of these 4?
Santon Gabbidon Mertesacker ColemanOpen ControlsBench Mert. Who is your other defender
Open Controls
Is Zabaleta confirmed to be out for the next few weeks? Should I transfer him for Coleman right now?
Open ControlsNo he is only a doubt for this weekend at the mo.
Open Controls
Toying with a punt from the following 3, Going cheap to strengthen the rest of my team, Choices are
Hooper
Berba
Dzeko
Who would you choose and why folks ?Open Controls
Will Shawcross play this weekend? Did his injury look serious?
Open Controlsdzeko....if he starts at home v palace he may well score four
Open Controls
Guy is a goal scoring machine. Minutes to goal ratio is quality.
Open Controls
All week I've been quite keen to bring Welbeck in but if Rooney is out this week then I think I'll give Welbeck a miss. Man U. could really struggle without Rooney meaning less chances for Welbeck. I'm leaning towards Negredo now.
Open Controls
I should try and talk you out of it but out of those three.. Dzjeko
Open ControlsIts cool wise guy, I knew you were replying to me, cheers all.
Open Controls
Cheers all, Hooper seems the safest of them all and is in really good form at the moment but when Dzeko plays he always does well, even as a sub and Negredo usually gets taken off early. It's very tempting. I'm thinking. Who Dares wins. 🙂
Open Controls
anyone have the iPhone FPL app? can't figure out what F stands for the in Data View for Latest Points..
Open Controls
Finally 🙂 haha
Open Controls
Shelvey to Wally/Silva for a hit or hold and do it for free next week?
Open Controls
Which 4 would you start in midfield?
Pantilimon (Gazzaniga)
Coleman Terry Flanagan (Mertesacker Clyne)
Ramsey Walcott Oscar YYT Januzaj
Suarez Lukaku Negredo
3.0m cash 1 FTOpen ControlsDrop Januzaj.
Open ControlsThat's tough because I feel like Januzaj will start the weekend. Probably should bench Januzaj but Oscar maybe?
Open Controls
toure 😯
won't score set piece goals every week.... at least I hope not 😕Open ControlsI fecking hope not too. On pens now though without Ags and surely can't bench him v Fulham ha
Open Controls
My team for this week.
Myhill (HULL)
Coleman (swa) Evra (WHM) GJ (CAR)
Januzaj (WHM) Ozil (CHE) Hazard (ars) Sess (HULL)
Lukaku (swa) Suarez (CAR)(C) Remy (cpl)
Boruc (inj) Morrison (mun) Burner (liv) Garrido (sun)
I'm guessing I should just hold the transfer? Tempted to do Ozil to Silva, but finding it hard to justify dropping Ozil.Open ControlsI'm steering from silva as he's both very injury prone and about half the games he's played he has left the field around 60-70 to avoid injury. That's almost a third of game time gone, and mostly when city tend to thrash teams scoring in the last 20... If you can afford id go YYT or have a look at Wally
Open Controls
You don't avoid injury worries by looking at Walcott.
Open ControlsHe was only coming off early due to coming back from injury.. Also 3 of his 4 pl goals were in games he came off early.. Silva is a great option
Open Controls
man utd visited an old peoples' home for christmas yesterday. coincidence?
Open Controls
YOLO just got Hooper in
Open ControlsRVW is returning this weekend right?? 😉
Open Controls
10 years, 6 months agoHeres where the Sky game can hurt you massively im now locked into my Rooney captain and will prob have to make a transfer because i can't risk that he won't play otherwise ill have no captain, annoying because if i chance it and he does play i will have saved myself 2 transfers one to get rid one to get back in in the future.
So now i rely on Moyes and his injury updates....... great.
