What are the chances of MU playing 4-2-2-2?
DDG
Rafael - Jones - Evans - Shaw
Ander - Vidal
Di Maria - Mata
Rooney - RVP
A bit like City last year? I think they played this formation few times?
It's too narrow. van Gaal signed Di Maria saying he needed wide players, he wouldn't buy him and then not play him out wide.
Teaching a new system takes a lot of time. He won't throw away all the work.
Also, Rojo needs to be in there 😉I agree with what you said on the last page. Just because they're playing a 3-5-2, doesn't mean Di Maria will be a wing back, like you said. He can easily be played as a winger.
Certainly looks the part on paper
No chance, that's far too open. Same system.
I'm sure Liverpool would be happy to sell Balotelli for 50m to Arsenal?
50m + 1 pound
Triggerlips:
GW 1: Jovetic(2)
GW 2: Jovetic(13)->Bony(2)
Human after all.
+Evs.
Evs too
Acqua:
GW 1: Jovetic and Marney
GW 2: Jovetic and Marney>Vaz Te and Sterling for -4
'Elite' fail.Reported
😆
Costa to Agüero looks pretty good now...
Mulling it at the minute, great for next week but then..
Feck it done 🙂
Reasons for shipping out Costa?
Agree, Costa has scored but not looked great. Owning Hazard will be enough for me not to be terrified by all Chelsea games.
Costa>Aguero is the way to go if you have Hazard. But I'd wait another week just to see if he's fit for 90
?
What? He talking about Glen Johnson?
😆
That's gold
Love it.
I'm gonna captain Ramsey this week 😎
He's due a blank. 😉
He'll be fresh this week as well!
That's flair right there
Can't see too many other decent captain options.
In my team anyway.
I see that Forca is having a mare this season. 🙂
Early days
True. But he usually starts strong.
Those planning on WC next week. Do you think your team will be much different? Going to be hard to make money I think
This is what eventually killed my visions of an international break WC. At this stage, only if I have an injury crisis will I play it.
I have 3 MCI and no LIV(fixtures), no CHE mids and no ARS players, i think it will be different.
Agree on the money though.
Why does Aguero have to keep on teasing? 🙁
Why are so many doing Dzeko --> Ade? Dzeko faces Stoke at home while Ade faces Liverpool. And Dzeko is not injured.
people shipping dzeko for ade or jovetic. worried kun + jovetic will start the next game
and I would like to have an attacker playing against pool, they're hardly great at the back
Let them be. 🙂
Dzeko prob won't get 90 min. Ade should get close to 90min.
If Liverpool are without anyone of Moreno,Skrtel, GJ i might be very tempted to do the swap.
Besides, Spurs have sun,WBA, SOUTH coming up while Citeh have ars/CHEL
I am worried that the straight swap won't be possible by the weekend as Ade may rise (and Dzeko may drop?)
Liverpool don't look that great at the back so Adebayor can do something there. Stoke historically make it difficult for City. City have Arsenal and Chelsea to follow the international break Spurs have Sunderland and West Brom.... Oh and as far as the injury goes it doesn't matter casuals will panic sell Dzeko as soon as they see that yellow flag to either Jovetic or Adebayor this week pushing his value down and the other two up.
What do you mean Dzeko isnt injured?
Dzeko > Ade
Now or after this weekend?
I am worried that the straight swap won't be possible by the weekend as Ade may rise (and Dzeko may drop?)
Although, if I save I would have 2 transfers so could do Cesc (or Haz / Ramsey) > Sterling to make up the funds.Same boat.
If you don't get Jovetic, Im assuming you don't have any Citeh attacking cover?Correct.
Same here.
I honestly don't have the balls to feck around with the Citeh rotation.No. I was hoping that Dzeko would be ok until Negredo returns but with the form of Jovetic even that looks dodgy. Whereas Ade seems nailed on (Soldado covering the Europa), in form and probably on pens.
Go to Jovetic for one week seems as likely as Dzeko to do anything and by the weekend the two might be about the same price depending on rises/falls. If you did it today it's already giving you 0.6 in value (Jovetic is 7.9 at moment) which would help with Adebayor move after the weekend hopefully
I think you can wait if you have Cesc and Haz (you can downgrade either to Sterling and still have Chelsea cover)
Yep. But then I am thinking will Ade be better this weekend anyway? Dzeko could be benched or make way early if he starts.
Anyone getting Jovetic? Surely nailed on for now due to his performances and now that Dzeko's out?
not nailed
Already got, if I didn't I definitely would
Dzeko isn't out he got grazed down the leg by a few studs is all. Aguero was always going to come on for him or Jovetic anyway.
We have got Di Maria for 34m. To put that into prespective liverpool paid 44m for carol.
Wat
Where did you get that figure from (34m)?
FACT
Not sure you know what "fact" means...
according to the bbc website
sorry - misread - carol was 35m
Your numbers are all wrong?
did you just hit a bong mate?
What nonsense
But Liverpool sold Torres for £11m the same day which funded the Carroll move.
that is not putting it into perspective. That is picking the transfer that turned out to be the worst buy and comparing it to that to make Di Maria seem like a bargain.
Jovetic saved my gameweek! 🙂
This is why people shouldn't gloat before the GW is over. There were some big points for Jovetic owners.
He smashed the bonus points as well. Surely he has to start against Stoke next week.
They should not do any standings updates before the gw is over. I went from 600 to 3.5k from Saturday night to now.
Of course, I wasn't gloating...Its easy to get a bit excited about rank but early on its an even worse fallacy. A few points can cause a serious drop or rise in ranking. Personally I think rank is meaningless till at least GW5.
Very true. I'm just excited to not have to start climbing back from a rank of over 1m like the last few seasons.
dented mine.
those 2 goals should have Edin's.........
Grrrr
are you trading out edin?
Only if he's declared out by Pellegrini
Same 😎
Hear, hear!
Stuck with my gut & kept Jovetic & Mata as well...
Ditto, both Mata and Jovetic repaid my faith.
How long is Dummett nailed on for?
He's not. Haidara could come in if he has a few bad games.
What to do with Naimsnith now that Everton bought Etoo?
Keep him. I bought him after that news. He won't get dropped
Nothing. Eto'o is no threat to Naismith, he is Lukaku's sub
I can't wait for Hutton's fixtures to turn sour
That's the only thing stopping me getting in him. Villa do look solid at the back though.
Tell me about it. Rival has doubled up on Villa.
Due to the price drop I took Jovetic out on Saturday.
Still not convinced he has guaranteed his spot, but if Dzeko is kept on the bench as a precaution, I may be kicking myself.
He will play Saturday again no doubt
I think he's certain to play even with Dzeko ok, just a question if Aguero starts from the bench as Pelligrini has hinted or Dzeko
bring him back in
0.1 profit for you 🙂
Jeez.. so i wake up to the news of a Jovetic brace..
That wasnt in the script..
What the heck am i supposed to do with this team now?
I was supposed to get rid of either Jovetic, Lamela or Mata.
Sure they are no good I was told.
2 Ft's
De Gea, Gilks
Clyne, Cahill, Naylor, Wisdom, Pieters
Lamela, Mata, Ramsey, Sigurdsson, Marney
Jovetic, Rooney, Costa
Let me go find my tiny violin....
Its in your pants.
Right, taped it next to my ball sack for safe keeping. Thanks for the reminder Riqlme - helpful lad.
*plays violin softly and lovingly*
Mata out
Or pierters
How does Bavies - Dummet sound? Have DDG, Luis, Naylor, Chambers, Wisdom
Good. Chambers out too would be great.
Love the Grav!! Great dock of a wonderful human being with sensational timeless tunes.
+1
Cheers pal, thought long & hard about it! Yeah need to lose Luis, Chambers & maybe Dzeko now - trying to avoid points hits but gonna be tough with price falls!
To those of you who think Di Maria will play as a wing back, earlier in pre-season LVG said he can't play 4-3-3 because he doesn't have wingers of the highest quality like Ronaldo or Di Maria. He mentioned Di Maria specifically and now he has him people are thinking he will play him a wingback? What a waste that would be. Di Maria will play as a winger or in the hole. Remember at Az, Bayern and Barca LVG played a 4-3-3. He only played 3-5-3 at the WC with Holland due to the limitations of that squad.
The first two games were not good for United and clearly the midfield and defence are having a lot of trouble adjusting, particularly in the early phase of build up play where too often one of the CBs just ends up booting it. Most of the players seem so uncomfortable playing in it and I think LVG see's Di Maria as the player to allow him to play his favourite formation and allow the players to fill roles they're more familiar with.
agreed well said
Expect a formation change to either a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1
Or keep the same system and play him in the front three?
Maybe but I'd think if we don't buy another CB then we cant maintain this system for much longer, its clearly not working.
May be right, although Rojo gives us more balance, as a genuine left sided defender.
I've already said - I expect di Maria to take up the Robben role (free role off the front)
But I also think a formation switch is the next most likely scenario.
Yeah one's just a slightly different variation of the other, but this is what I certainly expect to see.
Oh for sure, we haven't spent £60M on him to waste him at WB. His attacking attributes are far better utilised in the final third.
It's ridiculous innit.
On a side note he said it's tough signing players like Vidal and Messi yesterday.
Vidal signing imminent then. Watch this space.When Conte resigned I really thought that was the Vidal deal done. Alas, now I have completely given up hope and would settle for any player who is in anyway a competent central midfield player.
Hate Moyes for ignoring Strootman and McCarthy while chasing shadows in the dark. What an absolute muppet of a man.
Moyes was a scapegoat. The only thing I would really hang on him is the Rooney contract.
Nani 5yr contract 😀
oh lordie have to hold woodward responsible too though
A fan of a certain rival club would say that though wouldn't they.
I'm simply being objective.
Then you really have no idea what you're on about.
You speak very loudly and with great authority. Well done
So in a 4-3-3 it would be?
---------------DDG----------
Jones---- Evans--Rojo-----Shaw
------Carrick-- Herrara--Mata
Rooney-----RVP-------Di MariaI don't think he likes Rooney wide, but I guess it could be this:
http://lineupbuilder.com/?sk=47by1
Doubt he'd rotate Rooney & RVP...Yes he said he prefers Rooney as a 9 or a 10, but that Rooney told him he can play on the wing if he wants him to. I'm interested to see how he handles the Rooney jigsaw piece, but LVG will just do what he thinks is best, He won't have qualms about dropping RVP, Rooney, Mata or whoever.
He's a winger, who's best season (last season) for Real came when he played in the midfield three behind Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale.
If Man Utd play 4-3-3, one of Rooney and Van Persie has to be dropped, unless Van Gaal plays Rooney on the left, or decides to rip up the copy book again and switch to 4-4-2.Good article on Di Maria here-
http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/aug/25/angel-di-maria-manchester-united-louis-van-gaal
Di Maria played as a central midfielder during his best season at RM. Not a passing, controlling one but a ball winning, dribbling and starting quick counter attacks. As a winger he has always blown hot and cold.
No he was brilliant the two seasons before as a winger.
for only half of it.and terrible the season later.
Absolute tripe that.
I asked yesterday, but lost at bottom of page, but....
Albeit being GW2 & with hindsight....
Which players do you have in your team, which you now regret?
In my case Pelle & Cabella
Chambers
+1
Yes, I understood why people brought in, but thought waste of transfer knowing you/we would have to sell
kind of hoped Arsenal would get a couple of CS to warrant it ..... 🙁
None 😯
Bojan & Young.
De Gea and Holtby
Holtby.... !!!
yeah he was my punt 🙁
I can't believe I am able to say it, but honestly none of them!
Chambers and Bojan
Rooney and lovren to aguero and caulker?
Or
Fletcher and lovren to jovetic and hutton?
B
Why on earth would you get Caulker? Did you watch the game this weekend?
Did you?
Yes, why?
Caulker impressed the Wild Rover with his performance?
if you watched it, you should know why people want caulker
😀
Yes I did. It's about the next games and the stats behind the performance I think....
A
Hutton? With those fixtures?! Can free up money, I suppose.
Will Bojan start against Ciy?
does it matter vincent kompany will swallow him whole
United have spent £200 million in the past year
Woodward did warn us all saying he had money to burn.
And still no top 4
Will rise to 250m.
And yet nobody raises an eyebrow. 😕Puts an end to the myth that United don't spend big
and they won't even come close to the title.
And wasted every penny
Still very much within the realms of FFP.
How many titles has everyone won here?
20 for me. Any good?
Not really, I'm on 379
what titles?
Do those titles include moron, deluded and clueless?
Popcorn time
Let me guess who u support 😀
Man Utd fans are the next liverpool fans. remember loads of years ago blah blah blah. its all about the here and now and right now you suck
Kip who you calling an idiot you mug?
20
5 European Titles. Say no more.
20 nothings
All kicking off!
Get a room ladz.
If Eriksen scores 20 goals this season I'll marry my cat
Hahaha
How long you keeping the faith? Think I'll hold another week or two.
I like the cut of your job Bows, don't listen to the haterz...
I like your taste in comedy. Together we can overcome to hatr scum
Why is Jovetic's price protected on TFPL?
I refer to your username for my answer...
You're perfect just the way you are.
