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:
-
Geez... just realized that after getting Walcott, my entire starting midfield will play on Monday.
Walcott Ramsey Oscar Hazard
Hoping for a 5-3 game.Open Controls -
Any other Chelsea fans about? Who is the answer to our goal scoring problems? And come January, would it really matter if a player we fancy is cup tied? If I'm honest, we won't beat Galatasaray if we continue to play the way we are.
Open Controls -
Walker - got to ditch him even with the decent fixtures?
last few weeks; 9, 8, 2, -1
Next gws: sot, WBA, STO, mun, CPL, swa
my current def: Walker,Gabbidon,Davies,Debuchy,Coleman
--
who do i go for?
a) keep Walker
b) merts
c) Jagielka (double everton df)
d) other?Open Controls-
-
It depends if you wand to downgrade and use the funds elsewhere.
Honestly I'd keep him for now. Mertesacker and Jagielka both seem a bit sideways.
But I have no idea what to expect from Tottenham with an interim manager.Open Controls

Evening. Am I grasping at straws in thinking this could be a boon for early Rooney transferers? We made the boring move and for 4 days it looked like we had casually picked another template player and Negredo would be the cool differential. If he's now flagged there could be a scramble for Negredo before Saturday and the 2-1 ownership imbalance could even up a bit.
I picked Rooney because I thought he was the best choice to get the most points, I want to score more points than other owners, I don't want them to own Rooney. This could work out well.Open Controls-
Your glass is always half full right? 🙂
Open Controls -
Gotta love the optimism!
The flipside is that he may actually have an injury.Open Controls-
Watching the Youtube vid of Moyes then from watching "Lie to me" and having studied body language then Rooney will play. Moyes is fibbing about the injury.

How does she look?Open Controls -
Hi and good morning/afternoon/evening.
I'm vexed, and not for the first time this season:
Migs
Williams Fonte Mert
Ramsey Cabaye Oviedo Toure
Suarez Rooney Lukaku
Subs: Lewis Terry Shelvey Burner
4.1M ITB
Already done Aggers to Lukaku and planning on getting in Theo for Oviedo who will probably lose his place when Baines returns.
So do I do Williams to Ward now (-4) to afford that move next week or stick with Williams this week and take the hit next week?
Any advice greatly appreciated.Open Controls-
Never take hits for a defender, especially not for one from a promoted side
Open Controls -
Take the hit next week if you need to.
Open Controls-
Well I need to, so the question is: Is the likelihood of Ashley Williams being able to keep out Everton (I have Lukaku and Oviedo so hope he doesn't) higher than Ward being able to keep out Cabaye (who I also have)?
Do you see my dilemma?Open Controls-
Newcastle will probably score. Not worth a hit for a defender unless you're totally sure.
Open Controls-
I wish I'd taken a hit to get rid of Terry for Coleman weeks ago, so this rule of "Never take a hit for a defender" is a rule passed down through the aeons that should be discarded. It's accepted wisdom which has been proven wrong time and again.
Thanks for your advice though.Open Controls

Great, so now Rooney probably won`t make it this weekend either? So sick and tired of getting my heavy hitters injured, allowing the template to come closer. The question is, take the hit and get Rooney out for Lukaku, or ride it out and play Ravel?
Open Controls-
I think Rooney will start. It was Moyes making it up in order to save his ass if he lost.
Open Controls -
Ride it out. There are bound to be other rests/rotations/knocks/niggles/ingrowing eyelashes/petulance/fatigue/bolts out of the blue that everyone will be in the same boat come Saturday afternoon.
Open Controls -
Ride it. Plenty of reason to believe that Rooney will play. In the event that he's actually out, that's what your bench is for.

RMT/10 and any recommendations if you have them. My FT this week was Kun > Negredo
Krul (Davis)
Baker Distin Chester (Clyne Burner)
Walcott Silva Hazard Ramsey (Pozuelo)

Good enough. Is Clyne injured? Id play him over Baker.
Open Controls-
Clyne has spurs and Baker has Stoke though

Really nice team for this week. Baker & Chester look okay, but are probably the weakest part of your team. Nothing worth changing for -4 though.Open Controls -
8/10.
Open Controls -
haha ur team looks great. having a cheap def does not mean bad as ur def rotates pretty well. will look to sell clyne though as he is injuried

The Rooney question mark is offset by Dyer's injury making Pozuleo more likely so you should be in good shape.

Help deciding from these options for gameweeks 17 & 18...
A) Bony or Chamakh
B) Ravel or Pablo HernandezOpen Controls-
Hooper and Sterling 🙂
Open Controls-
Hooper, I have. Not interested in Sterling.
Open Controls-
can i see your team link?
Open Controls-
Its my draft league team of a squad of 18 but sure...
Mignolet
Evans/Coleman/Shawcross (hope he is fit)
Walcott (c)/Mirallas/Redmond/Ravel
Hooper/Crouch/Bony
Bench: Schurrle/Terry/Rat/Amalfitano/Vertonghen/Hernandez/DeulofeuOpen Controls-
you should have mentioned it was a draft team league, so I would chose Chamakh and still Sterling or witts but if you're really opposed to that then go for Ravel over Pablo
Open Controls

Sterling's the best option out of those for the next 6 weeks imo.

Hooper and Ravel
Open Controls -
You're gonna have both Hooper and Bony or Chamakh.
Talk about greedy on cake..
In all seriousness, all are meh choices. I rather take J Rod / Berba and Whits / SterlingOpen Controls-
ha! Its a choice of dropping Bony and picking up Chamakh. My rivals have the other options mentioned.

Thoughts on the below team...
Myhill (boruc)
distin dawson mert (olson burner)
ramsey coutinho nasri hazard (janu)
suarez rooney lukaku
have 1FT and 1.4m
A: coutinho or nasri >> wally or silva...if so, which one?
B: boruc >>. xxx (assuming foster doesnt play)
C: save FT
i am thinking of C or B if i get any news on fosterOpen Controls-

was planning to get wally next gw...its a tough one, wally vs chel@home, coutinho vs cardiff@home
one is a goal scorer, other one cant finish to save his lifeOpen Controls-
I'd still do it this week - Coutinho has been one disappointment after the other in the last few weeks I've owned him

Probably been asked a thousand times this week to people, but who to replace aguero with?
Negredo?
Rooney?
Other?
Comments much appreciated guys.Open Controls-
Rooney if he's fit, Negredo hates playing away and could be a rotation risk over festive period.
Open Controls-
Was thinking Rooney, but wanted to do it now in case of any further price rises, i can hang on though to see if Rooney's fit, still be able to afford him.
Open Controls

-
Negredo
Open Controls -
Me?
Nah, go for rooneyOpen Controls -
Will Negredo allow you to get Wally/Silva/etc in and would you get them this week if you did get him? Otherwise Rooney (waiting on updates obviously)
Open Controls-
Yes, by getting negredo i could afford wally or sva the following week 🙂 would''t take a 4 point hit though to get them both in this week.
Just gonna wait on the rooney update for now, but it's a good logic to do negredo to fund wally i reckon.Open Controls

Distin - Chester - Terry. Spurs and Dawson have so many injuries in their back line. And it's really a toss up between Ward and Chester. But West Brom have been terrible in front of goal recently don't fancy them to score.

Actually very pleased with Walcott's goals against City. Usually he scores very dull goals, dont get me wrong, a goal is a goal but he scored two pretty nice ones, I expect big things Theo

Rooney will start this weekend. End!

Proposed transfer plan...
GW18: Terry & Ramsey > M.Olsson & Walcott (-4)
GW19: Luna > Evans
Would give me:
Szczesny (Davis)
Coleman - Evans - Chester/Olsson/Ward (rotation)
Cabaye - Hazard - Silva - Walcott (Ravel)
Lukaku - Rooney - Suarez
Thoughts?Open Controls-
go for it
Open Controls-
Only ditching Ramsey because I only just recently bought him at 7.5
Open Controls-
Ramsey to Walcott is a good option if you bought him late as you did. Only thing is if Ramsey goes off be prepared for a red arrow as 50% of the league will add those points to their total. Though for the rest of the season I believe Walcott will outscore Ramsey.
