Based on clean sheet potential, I'd go with Kompany. But I don't think you can go too far wrong with any decision you make.

I'd bench Graham, I think Villa will line-up a strong side and the other 3 fixtures are quite desirable.

42 / Westwood

Westwood as you already have Naylor playing and Wigan is a great fixture at home. Spread your bets.

Vermaelen - bung us a grand then

Next week Billy Baines is coming into my team. I see it as a high risk (due to price) with the potential of much higher reward, than Jags and the rest.

Depends if you consider him a midfielder rather than a defender. If so, then I believe he is better value than Bale

im waiting until 16

botlon seem to score most weeks, stoke seem to be more attacking this year and arsenal away is just arsenal away

dont expect any more than 12 from him over the next three and 4 ppg isnt what id want from a 8m defender

Yeah, you tell 'em!

i agree, ahte point predictions, there utterly worthless

I prefer the who will win between these 2 teams to "how many points will my team get". Some players are just as likely to score a hat-trick to get injured..

Agreed! Where DO these people get their cystal balls?

That's a pretty awesome name well done indeed

Wackiest capt. choice I thought

Sensible and safe transfers.

Everything I'm not 🙂

Dzeko to Ade for a 4pt hit might be worth it. Good chance Dzeko won't start

Blackburn have had no problem scoring. Least you're covered if Jones is benched.

drop walker for wilkinson....leave walker as 1st sub in case wilkinson is dropped

Blackburn scored in every away game this season the last two scored 3 at Wigan and Norwich.
Stoke pretty poor at home recently.
I got rid of Bego this week

Sess?

Pilky?

sinclair

Cue The Holy One points frenzy....and Baines 2 pointers for next 7 weeks.

You would hardly risk not playing him though regardless

I hope he's benched too.

I can't see why he won't start. CC midweek is where he'll most likely be putting his boots up and having a nice rest.

you gonna put him on the bench then? or sell him?
im gonna captained him anyway.

Arsenal need to priortise the league and RvP can rest up during the CC and the CL now. Arse nal through as group winners. The youth team should go to Greece. He'll play imo

I don`t understand this thinking. If Wenger wants to risk not winning 3 points he`ll bench RVP if he wants the points he won`t. Carling cup and Europe is the time he`ll be benched.

No.

would be a bold move to captain someone else with his form, but if benched he could come on for 1 pt.

Would RVP more likely to be rested in the CC game tuesday?

Moses and Best are prime candidates for moving on but perhaps as you say Roon is the priority right now.

I'd do Roon to Ade to free up cash to upgrade both Best and Moses. If you're forced to play Moses this week as well, I'd consider taking a 4pt hit to get him out and bring in Sess, Larrson, Drenthe or Sinclair

I've finally lost patience and chopped rooney out this week

Seems strange to leave k.walker on the bench?

should i play him instead of barnett?

i would play drenthe over barnett

baines 16,17
vidic 18,19
baines 20,21,22

thats what im looking at

Fair point. But its a big risk doubling up considering the only nailed on defender is Vidic.

Why buy Vidic when Rio/Jones/Evra will get the same clean sheet for a lower price?

Also I wouldn't sell Baines to do it, price moves would be against you and you're wasting two subs over 3 GWs.

Keep Baines, try get in Jones.

im playing ruddy over vorm myself

If you're going to make the Given -> Vorm sub anyway, you may as well do it now.

Westwood or Vorm for either of those two

C

Yeh, think Vorm is coming in this week.

I can confirm that's a terrible move for this GW but it could well pay off.

doubts from me - stoke at home are always tight and are playing BB - need I say more?!

100% I think. Coz Drogba was limping towards the end of the CL match on wednesday..I think taking a punt on Nando can be rewarding...I might do the same..

Do it Baby - he's nailed on and he'll kick their (Wolves) arses.

First things first.. I feel you need to get in RVP....

My options are:
a) No transfer. Play Rooney, with Kompany as first sub
b) Rooney -> Hernandez (free) - leaving cash to do: Moses->Drenthe next week
c) Rooney -> Hernandez, Kompany -> Baines (-4)

Well Fergie knows damn well that at home to Newcastle is not an easy game and that he will need his best possible players on the field so he will try and get Rooney to play! Im gonna take a chance and keep him. Could be a nice differential if he starts and scores! If not then oh well... only a game!

Just dump him

Got rid, and Nani too. Could back fire 'orribly. But I'm fed up of them doing nothing. Plus I don't like all this Rooney injury talk, and I think Nani will be starting on the bench.

*other

The last time Enrique got an assist was also the last time Kompany kept a clean sheet, so by your logic, are City due a clean sheet?

i'll be playing both.

cheeky enrique. assist-astic!

It's pretty obvious that Drogba + Torres is never going to work, so it's one or the other... which leaves a nice place for Sturridge. The only real threats to Sturridge are Malouda and Anelka, neither are exactly setting the world alight. I think Sturridge will start 7 or 8/10 games through the rest of the season, but there could be a lot of 60mins in there.

regardless of other options, The Yak speaks for himself.

Yakubu is not a striker, he is a figment of a romantic's imagination ... 😉

I don't agree that Blackburn have lovely fixtures. They are all tough. Even stoke I think will have added resolve. No Europe for them this week and there manager will be wanting to see added resolve in the back line.

Sturridge for me.

Can't see how any Blackburn fixture can be described as lovely!

Its a strange tactic, I know the logic, starting him every week etc and having a solid bench option. For some reason though I just don't like it, not sure why.

No .You are suffering from double vision ... 🙂

I can't wait until the last 10 games of the season, when Wigan perform their annual almost miraculous escape from relegation. Moses will be sensational.

Might depend if Moses strikes fear into you as a major goal threat 🙂
