Paul With clean sheets proving hard to come by for many teams, Goal Threat from the back is an ever-crucial facet when eyeing up Fantasy defensive options.
In this latest article for Members, we focus on defenders who have played four or more league games this season, selecting the top ten performers and, when applicable, compare their stats to last term’s in order to ascertain whether there’s been an improvement or a drop in their offensive threat…
My 11 for this week
Given
Baines Anton N Taylor
Nani Nasri Brunt Mata
Suraez RVP Hoilett
and?
and ?
I dont like it
Given isnt going to keep a cleanie, if he does Nasri wont do anything
Baines isnt, if he does, Mata does nothing
If Anton does, Hoilett wont have done anything
Naylor probably wont as they arent a good team away
Brunt is meh
Nasri a poor mans Silva, but he is still a decent pick
I like the rest though, as in Nani, Suarez, Mata and yeah...
Argh Taarabt ... price drop again means can no longer get Ramsey for him after this GW!! 🙁
My thoughts:
a) Young -> Ramsey
b) Young -> Ramsey & Adabayor -> Saurez (-4)
I'm going to want Saurez in next GW anyhow and Adabayor most likely wont play. Also with Aguero an injury doubt I currently only have Rooney as a fit striker.
This also leaves me money to go Ramiries -> VdV/Mata etc
a) You will really want Suarez next GW so why take a hit now?
because if Adabayor and Ageuro dont play I'm left with Simpson and Dyer playing. At least having Saurez you have a chance him notching a 8+ score
Jermaine Defoe...not heard much talk of him on here, could he be a good gamble??
He could be a great gamble yes, I'd say he's pretty certain to start the next couple ... it's just difficult to make room up front.
Spurs have quite a few away fixtures coming up but they may still do ok.
Key word - "gamble"!
He's infuriatingly inconsistent for FPL. He could get you 15 points this GW, or 0. But his scores generally are all over the place, with the big scores normally coming in a game you wouldnt expect. He's a right git for FPL.
Just my opinion though.
David McDonnell, Manchester football correspondent for the Daily Mirror, 20 minutes ago on Twitter:
Fergie refused to discuss Rooney ban at press briefing. Cleverley not ready for Liverpool, Fergie will leave Vidic to decide if ready

At Carrington #mufc. Ferguson says fit-again Vidic could start v #lfc. 'It's certainly a consideration because he's such a good competitor'

Everybody Brunt is fit, I don't know why isn't in the tweets
http://www.wba.co.uk/page/News/0,,10366~2478525,00.html
But Roy Hodgson expects Chris Brunt to be fit in time for the Black Country derby after he returned early from international duty with an ankle problem, while Roman Bednar (back) is hopeful of returning to training by the end of the week.
Stop selling!!!
Anybody form the scouts here?
http://www.wba.co.uk/page/News/0,,10366~2467038,00.html
Can this be tweeted. "Everyone is pretty much fit," said Hodgson.
I'm playing Paddy and have both
Ok, so I have VDV and Ade, so this may be a moot point given that 1 or both may not play, but who do you fancy @1st sub and who would you play:
Agbon - On fire form wise but difficult fixture @ Citeh
Jarvis - Patchy form recently but reasonable fixture and could turn it on
?
14 October:
The worlds first ever floodlit football match took place at Bramall Lane on 14 October 1878 in front of an attendance of 20000.
Very special day.
As you said before, Cliff Richard was born on 14th October. Therefore, it's an infinitely unspecial day.

Happy birthday mate
Thanks pal. How's the team looking?
I'm happy with it for the next few weeks before i WC.

Ooooooh, that's good news! 😀
Nice one Mac, I've held of the transfer so far.
Ignore this - I thought the account was verified looking like it's not. I'm quite confused.
Young --> Lampard
Adebayor --> Sturridge
Worth a 4 point hit?
see above tweet
Which 3 to pick from these four?
Ward - WBA (a)
Enrique - MUN (h)
Bosingwa - EVE (a)
Simpson - TOT (a)
Thanks guys
+1
Oh and Burly - Simpson - TOT (h). Pedantron 5000 strikes again. You have been pedantized.
pe·dan·tic
/pəˈdæntɪk/ Show Spelled[puh-dan-tik] Show IPA
adjective
1. ostentatious in one's learning.
2. overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, especially in teaching.
nothing wrong with a bit of pedanticalness ATTILA!
Cheers for the heads up, the home game does swing the selection choice back in favour of Simpson over Ward.
Tough choice this - keep Adebayor (might start, but then he is against The Best Defence In The Premier League 2011/12) or get in Suarez for a 4 point hit (my first hit of the season)
Adebayor - new, bla, QPR, ful, AVL
Suarez - MUN, NOR, wba, SWA, che
Not much in it fixture wise, but would probably get Adebayor back for Suarez after GW11 as Liverpool have a nasty enough run of fixtures for a few weeks.
Definitely a toughie. I'd be inclined to keep Ade, he may yet start and even if he doesn't I can see him getting something in most of the other games whereas I don't really fancy Suarez against Utd or Che, and the Swansea game could be quite tough too. It's a really marginal call though.
Very marginal, I would swap them back after Liverpool's SWA fixture meaning I would have
MUN, NOR, wba, SWA, AVL, wba, BOL, sto, SUN, CHE
for the immediate future (Adebayor taking over at AVL). Also I'm a little unconvinced that Spurs have found the right formula as yet, they have looked pretty competent and I know Adebayor will be their main striker but I dont think they have quite hit upon the right balance. Hopefully they wont do that this weekend!
The United-Pool match is a tough one to call. It could go either way and could be a 0-0 or a goalfest. Anyone here with any words of wisdom?
Adebayor is not even on twitter!
Oh tits. I thought this was verified http://twitter.com/#!/Sheyiadebayor
I swear Frimpong was tweeting about it.
Looks pretty genuine to me as it's reflected on his own website:
http://www.emmanueladebayor.com/
Unless this a load of tosh as well - and if it is rubbish, don't people have anything better to do than waste time making stuff up like this?
Alright, worked out what happened this account http://twitter.com/#!/E_Adebayor is verified as being is, the last tweet said he moved to the one I quoted however that's not verified so I'm not sure of the validity of any of this.
It's also on Adebayor's official site, so the message must be genuine:

Understandable
and served up on the Captains table today:
Suarez?
Rooney?
Silva?
or a cheeky Enrique?
Please feel free to rip this team to shreds, assuming I go ahead and do: Aguero > Suarez…
Krul (Vorm)
Ward Bosingwa Kompany
VDV Taarabt Young Silva(V)
Best Suarez RVP(C)
Subs: Dyer Simpson DeLaet
I may still switch the (C) to Silva yet as see RVP a differential just by owning him.
My plan is to switch Walcott and Balotelli for Ramsey and Suarez over the next 2 weeks. Should I do the Walcott to Ramsey transfer now, or both next week? Would you rather have Walcott or Ramsey for this GW?
I need some opinion. I am gonna swap S. Petrov out, but still figuring between Murphy, Ramsey or M. Petrov. The other Petrov seems like quite economic, ramsey can cover my lack in arsenal though i won't have any available fund left in the bank if i go for ramsey.
current team
vorm (given)
Saylor enrique bosingwa (de laet, barnett)
silva, nani, larsson, meireles (s petrov)
rooney suarez sturridge
Who is with me on the Stevie G-elandewagen next week?
Me, possibly
If Ade's looking like being fit this week I'll keep him and transfer Mata for $G next gameweek
All assuming Mata doesn't go mental this weekend, in which case Sturride out for Suarez
All assuming Sturridge doesn't go mental this week, in which case Ade out for Suarez
All assuming Ade doesn't go mental this weekened in which case I'm stumped
Id rather be on the Suarez Land-Cuiser tbh.
Suarez. nailed on starter and LIV are always up for this clash.
Agreed! And if you look at the next couple of games probably gonna score more. However both is not a bad choice, Sturridge looks good this season.
ManU hasnt looked that good at the back, and even with Vidic back he may not be on top form so likely goals at both ends I figure.
Hey guys, is this a strong enough starting line-up for this weekend?
Vorm
Ward, Bosingwa, Kompany
Moses, Dyer, Mata, Young (VC), Silva (C)
Agbonlahor, Adebayor
Subs: Krul, Simpson, Aguero, De Laet
Adebayor potentially may not play, meaning that Simpson would be subbed in. I could do Aguero -> RVP for a freebie, but I feel a bit empty not having Aguero or Rooney in my team. Any suggestions guys?
