    Sterling is 19. Just imagine.
    What a talent.

    1. Theseus
      • 11 Years

      So much this!!!

    2. Epic Fail

      He's no Welbeck.

    3. Optimus.
      • 13 Years

      Overpriced in Fpl though 😉

      1. Costa in Wengerland

        Naaaahh

      A year ago Liverpool were planning to loan him to West Ham / Swansea

    5. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He seems to have gotten much stronger too. I have seen him hold people off several times tonight.

    Has Baines ever had a good game for England?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Weird isn't it.

    2. SammyD
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I always think this, absolute dribble in an England shirt

  12. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Sturridge would have scored that with his boot

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      John Terry would have scored it with his head.

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Suarez with teeth

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Sanogo would have missed.

        1. Costa in Wengerland
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          No way
          He would have scored 2 of that 1 shot

    2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      they have the same conversion rate and similar strike rates

  13. The Light Knight
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Utd let a pair of Shinjis go then....

    1. Timtastic03
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      NO

  14. Fantasy Gold

    9 years, 9 months ago

    @ Doos, Carrick...

    So dat guy Welbz scores one off his shin inadvertently and now he's a poacher ala Shearer?

    Don't make me laugh!

    1. Cheggers v2
      • 9 Years

      +1

      3. Fantasy Gold

        😉 Love you Al. You put dat guy Welbz to shame

        1. Costa in Wengerland
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Love u2

    2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      don't think anyone said that. the point i made to you was that his clear cut chance conversion stats are strong and his strike rate per 90 is very strong. he can score when given opportunity. to disagree is like arguing the earth is flat

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        So he can convert a ball laid to him on a plate from 6 yards out.

        Well wooooop-deeeeee-do.

        Let's see how many he scores this season. Then come back and show me your distorted stats.

        1. GreenWindmill
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Thing is, he also has to get in that position - it's a skill in itself to time runs, take up clever positions, etc. That's what generates the tap ins.

        2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          his overall strike rate per 90 mins was in the top 5 in the league too. you're in a hole

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            No hole at all. Let's see how many GOALS he scores. The only stat I will be ramming down your throat at the end of the season 😉

      2. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah and at 6.9 -- what have you got to lose win/win and shin

    1. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yep.

    BREAKING NEWS: Welbeck is 1.1 million quid underpriced on FPL!

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      lol. Wouldn't touch the buffoon if he was 5.5.

      Amazing how a change of club can instantly change people's opinions on a player.

      Arsenal signed him so he must be good!

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        No, he's going to be nailed on so he's good for FPL. We're he nailed on at that price for Man Utd we'd all get him.

        1. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          will he start for 80 min minimum next gw? or will he be slowed into rotation making him usefuk for transfer in only in 2-3 gw time?

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            I think he'll start personally but that's just my opinion, I don't have him yet - burnt my transfers early and he has tricky fixtures so I'm praying for a slow start from him!

            1. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              ok...i've got Jove and still in doubt if jove will be fit for gw 4, or drop for Naismith, Weismann the austrian, or Welbz....what do u think?
              if jive is fit, id keep jove as i think hell start ahead of dzeko to play along kun

              1. GreenWindmill
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                If Jovetic is confirmed out I'd trade for Welbeck with Naismith my second choice and Weimann third. Arsenal striker at that price is a great bargain in my view.

                1. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 9 months ago

                  chers thnx. so you're high on Welbz o start asap for Arse and not eased into rotation right? w/ risk of sanogo and podolski gtime.

                  others (punt) to ponder Jove> are ulloa 5.6, jelavic 6.0, diouf 6.4,
                  pelle 7.5, ....what do you think...?

      2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        he was good at United

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          lol

      3. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Even if Arsenal had a nailed on cardboard cut out of Thierry Henry up front I'd have him if he was cheap like Welbeck.

      4. Red Elephant
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I don't give a shit how good or bad he is, he will get goals because of that lovely arsenal midfield, and at 6.9, he's fantasy gold dust!

      5. ★A-O-Chamberlain★ COYG …
        • 12 Years

        You wise?

  16. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Might need a Jovetic replacement...

    A. Welbeck
    Or
    B. Naismith + 1.5

    Thanks 🙂

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      B

      1. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        why b...is it because naismith nailed NOW and welbeck will be rotated in slowly??

        1. MJ6987
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          You think he will be eased in?

          1. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            i dont have much conviction Welbz will be eased into rotation or not. got also sanogo and podolski to deal with. or go with Naismith, or even Weismann the austrian, or ulloa. jove if fit from hamstring still my 1st choice but now tough to find out. what do you reckon>?

    2. Timtastic03
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Jumping back and forth between Welbeck and Pelle as a short term punt till gw8.

    3. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      mj: im in same boat. you reckon Jovetic out and not playing gw 4?? thinking he was going to be fit or u heard otherwise of his injury

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        It's been confirmed he's withdraw from International due to hamstring.

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      when he plays as a striker more often than not he scores. cannot argue with that

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
