What, first - well alright! 🙂

Yo yo yo,

What do you call a man with a spade on his head?

Agreed
I do expect him to get it together eventually and probably link up a lot with Crouch but since he lost peno's to Walters I won't touch him anyway....

bicycles should count as 1.2

He is good, oop and on penalties. The problem is that Stk aren't scoring a lot of goals. If I had to choose I would go Pennant

Dzeko but only because I think Rooney will get 1 point.
Dont expect either to do that well.

Personally I think AVL (H) is actually a pretty good fixture for City. They have the potential to get big wins at home against even mid teams. United Liverpool games are often hard to call because it's more WWF than football.

Got rid of Dzeko after game week 6 as he just didn't look that sharp in the Everton match. I also think that Villa will keep it very tight away from home - still lose but I can't see a rout.

I'm thinking that Liverpool will go for it, Kenny will demand a performance, which could lead to a high scoring open game. Less of the Benitez boredom anyway.

So IMHO Rooney

P.s.still might captain Silva tho

Cheap defender at 3.9 for anyone out there scraping for an extra 0.1m

VDV
cos of penos and set-piece duties

VdV for me too.

Probably VdV.

Giggity, giggity,oh right......you 16 yet meg,

I wouldnt do any transfers until you know for sure that Aguero isnt playing

If he's not then get RVP in for a couple of wks.

If Aguero is playing then just do Brunt to Petrov

I wouldn't take a hit to do both of them - looking at your team an extra 4 points plus points from Simpson or Dyer as sub looks good to me.....

just do the RVP change if Aguero is out, and change Brunt or Tarrabt next week

Cleverley isn't going to play every game though, A lot of options now with Anderson, Fletcher, Giggs Carrick and even Valencia, yes Valencia (Ferguson stated that he may be played in a more central role on ocassions).

All I've seen Cleverly do this season is sign a new contract.
Now is fairnesss its a bloody great contract but I wouldnt bring him in, he wont be first choice and he's only played ok when in the team.
Martin Petrov is a the sub 6mill mid to have

none of them ,all you need for arsenal attacking is sir robin of van persie...look elsewhere for midfielders

For the money involved Ramsey is by far the best option.
He plays further forward that Arteta and leaves you with almost 2mill in the bank.

Walcott is so hit and miss I'd only bring him in when Arsenal are playing well and have successive games against the worst teams in the league. With neither of those conditions filled I'd be spending money on an in form mid around the 6mill mark and using the extra cash for a far better player than Walcott

Yep - not ready to sell the FF family Silver to get Arsenal representation just yet. Ramsey seems a good option.

so money IS an object for you!

Captain Poll says RVP then Silva
I say Silva then RVP

That probably means you should captain Sturridge! 😉

not sturridge.

Silva. Most will be backing RvP, (of those who have him) so he's sure to fall on his face.

Between RvP and Silva for me. Silva pretty much guarantees you 5-8 points, RvP could get anything between 2 and 17. I'd go RvP, with Silva VC.

Ok thanks for advice everyone.. im going to stick with RVP for now

just had 2 cleanies out of schwarzer ,but in tne next 2 weeks im shifting goalies vorm/schwarzer to given/begovic i know its another 0.9 ,just fancy them 2 keepers ,great rotation

I am looking at doing similar and swapping to Begovic and Vorm. However it will wait for at least 2 weeks until Stoke have played Arsenal. I also have De Laet, but have more pressing issues with Aguero and Ade fitness.

Arry is completely contradicting his last comments on VDV where he as good as said he may not even start. As it all depends on him staying fit anyway he's not a must have. I have him though. 😉

It depends. I don't like Ade as fantasy option, but that's only me. I will sell him, but on the other hand he has tough fixture anyway. In that case u could leave him

I'd keep him simply cos of the fixtures after this week and the prospect of a double gameweek in there too - I believe between GW's 11 and 12 is the favourite for the Everton game...

Petrov

I think i'm going for Ramsey, mainly because i don't have RVP and would like some Arsenal coverage if they were to score a few.

Petrov and Moses have amazing run of fixtures, def don't get rid.

Is that Aston Villa's Petrov?

Your team looks fine this week, and wildcarding now would be a bit of a waste.

defo dont w/c

Bosingwa straight up

Bosingwa, i still believe he is more reliable for pitch time.

Bos is hard to drop right now, Luiz has to shift Terry/Alex/Ivan.

Bosingwa fits in better with AVB's style of play, so Luiz is up against Ivanovic at CB.

I am in same situation, i would have bradley johnson coming on if one of them are not fit

ive suarez/ade/aguero i feel your pain i dont have a strong bench though

decisions

Both might make it yet.

I'm hoping we hear something at Man City's conference on I think Friday.

as well as this ive already made my transfer which was Young to Ramsey (altho i wouldnt have sold one of my strikers).

still....now i have to play Dyer and maybe S Taylor if it gets that bad.

i'n sure Ferguaon owners and the like will be in trouble!

But he is

Tough because B has better strikeforce but A has the VDV factor. I would say B because RVP can be devastating when in form.

So VDV and Adebayor v RvP and Petrov? I'd say B, because Adebayor is only 50:50 to play. I'd maybe want VDV instead of Nani since you have Rooney and Utd have 3 hard fixtures.

i think suarez will score better than roo this gw imo but i can see a goal from roo

i reckon 3-2 game

I'd be happy with a goal and a BP or 2. Utd to win 2-1.

1 goal, probably, but not 2. I reckon Nani will also score.

Thing is, Liverpool(A), City(H), Everton(A) - Two major rivals and his boyhood club. Must be fired up and get goals but will probably get frustrated, drop deeper to receive the ball and get booked. Obvious rest / 2 pointer at Goodison as well

You think it will be Moses time the next few GW's?

Komp instead of bosingwa

long term, i'd go for given but krul will do more business with "saves" and possible BP's

Boris?!
Seriously, though, I'd go with Dyer.

Moses... It's his time

Well I think I know what you will do regardless of any advice, MOSES! He has good fixtures too.

Yep. With Vermaelen, Kompany, Fellaini, Lukaku and Hazard - nice team on paper.

Would have liked to see how this Hazard guy actually is.
