As Man United approach an eye-catching run of games which could potentially see Sir Alex Ferguson’s side rack up the Fantasy returns, Wayne Rooney has staked a strong claim for consideration after bagging a brace for the second Gameweek in succession. Rooney’s stock has suffered a significant drop this season due to the arrival of Robin Van Persie but as the campaign unfolds, he’s starting to look a real differential, with many Fantasy managers even considering both forwards for a run of games which sees the Red Devils welcome Sunderland, Newcastle and West Brom to Old Trafford, in addition to trips to Swansea and Wigan in the next five:
Because he rose last night.

Shaw X to GJ, worth it? I already have Cameron and Begovic so should get rid of one, only issue is that Shaw X is a bit of a bonus magnet.

Is tehre any chances that Fletcher will be on the bench tonight ?
Open Controls
good chance

Current team is:
Bego, Jussi
O'Brien. Gorkss, Riise, Mertes, Cueller
Michu, Sess, Carloza, Fellaini, Sterling
Tevez, RVP and Berba
After holding the faith with Berba it's time for him to go (no doubt hill will score as soon as I sell him). Thinking of:
1. Berba + Sess -----> Puncheon + Rooney (4ph)
2. Berba -----> Defoe
Admittedly defence is a bit rubbish but next move would be Carloza/RVP out to free up cash...
Any thoughts?Open Controls
PLS HELP
Gibbs and Defoe
or
Enrique and Berba?
Would had gone Nastasic & Defoe but £0.1 short, any other alternatives for £13.9? Need to get rid of Fletcher.Open Controlswhy go for Berba? 5 weeks of nothing! I have but he's going this week....
Open Controlswatched him for the first time last night,
He actually played well,
he up coming fixtures look good too, ( qpr liv SOT SWA wba WIG)Open Controls
Bassong may help you out with an extra 0.1 over the next week or so
Open ControlsAm worried at his fixtures,

however, they have 4 at home where they are very good,
Thanks for the hint, WakeyOpen Controls

Someone got that yesterday after you'd gone, I think. FFS does have some uses!

Open Controls😀 Just saw your reply too. I wouldn't be too worried. I'd never (c) (vc) the both of em so would be saved there. And if they've a game called off most people would have 2 players anyway. I'm not really enjoying it this year man, prob because i'm not in any money leagues, so I'm just trying to have fun with it & RVP/Roo/Defoe looks delicious for the next while. Could be some really enjoyable GW's coming up, could be.

Obviously plenty of uncertainty regarding the potential of RVP and Rooney, complicated by formation changes, RVP playing without Rooney earlier, penalties, Hernandez, etc etc.
But I would say my simple impression is that I've lost the "fear of RVP" I had last year. The fear he would produce an absolutely monster score so I had to captain him every week. He has notched the odd big score this season, but the highest by a good few points was the 15 away to Southampton when they were a defensive joke and, most importantly, Rooney wasn't playing so he was #1 striker. As long as Rooney and possibly other strikers play there will be spread out goals.
Good option? Yes. Not essential though.
The alternative approach is to pick up dominant strikers at other clubs - Suarez Torres/Aguero (wait and see) Ba/Berbatov for example. And it's already been demonstrated in the rankings.
Just a differential to consider.Open ControlsCarry on. 😉
Open ControlsThe thing is 6-7 GWs ago I really thought RVP would kick on and go even higher. Has been the opposite if anything. I didn't factor in that he benefited from Rooney's absence in an FPL sense.
Both should be reliable scorers though so doubling ain't bad.Open ControlsMUN : SUN 503 swa 244 NEW 385 WBA 364 wig 428 ... and then 'Pool at Home ... !
Open Controlsyep methinks you have the fixtures down right on your ticker.
Hmmm...Open Controls
I'm going with both for a couple of weeks then one is out for Suarez
Open ControlsCareful. I was open minded and gave the double up a try gw13-14. Was killed. Bailed. Then it exploded. If you're gonna do it you need patience!
Open Controls
Waiting for Aguero to be nailed on and hit form. Aguero - Suarez - Rooney at that point might be deadly.
Open Controls
interesting theory, but the thing for me, United are scoring more goals than anyone. I just feel that some coverage of such a lethal attack is a must, and given the lack of form and rotation potential in midfield, at least one of Rooney or RvP seems like a must.
That being said, given the he has pens and maybe more nailed on (given Fergie has said Rooney loses sharpness when he misses a match) I'm beginning to wonder if Rooney + 2 million might be the better optionOpen ControlsYeah it seems strange not to have a united striker, but the goals seem to be divided between RVP, Rooney, Hernandez, and a surprising contribution from the defenders especially at set pieces.
For now I guess I gotta keep RVP. But yes I saw fergie say Rooney needs to keep playing. And pens already are paying off for him.
Maybe Rooney Aguero/Torres Suarez 😆Open Controlsagreed,
I also noticed from past matches that RVP and other utd players are still not on the same wavelength,
he makes lots of runs but the players hardly put the ball through to him,
which frustrates him, that has reduced his goal threat, unlike in Arsenal where they always played the ball to himOpen Controls
Why is Sagna only 5.1 ?...am i missing something ?
Open Controlswas it my team ?...If it was it's just all the belgians in the prem plus five others...I linked it because it's out of the norm....It's my son's who has no idea about footy so it's easy...Mine is in the same mini league under "pikey's league" "pick n mix"..our family league and is just the standard sort of fayre really...Michu..fellaini..Silva..Suarez....blah blah blah..
Open Controls
leg break, a rest and a little injury
Open ControlsWas red flagged last week. Injured during the start of the season. Bargain at this price, imo.
Open ControlsI'd have bought him in if Wenger didn't F around saying he was out last week.. Got Gibbs at 0.3 more in the end!
Open Controlsthink gibbs is worth the extra 0.3 personally so i like it
Open Controls
Can just make a team this week:
Bego
Mertesacker – Enrique – Nelson – Cuellar
Michu – Fellaini – Sterling
RVP – Suarez – Fletcher
! Foster – ! Mata – ! Lallana – ! Fonte
Is it worth a HIT (-4) to do:
A Mata TO Silva (bench Cuellar)
B Cuellar TO Nastacic
C Cuellar TO Caulker
D Lallana TO Morrison
E Other
F No HIT
Thanks for any advice…..head wrecked!Open Controls
Too bad there doesn't seem to be any prize for the Player Exchange game...haven't looked at it for 6-7 weeks and somehow I'm in 19th place. I put all my shares on Michu. It's a dumb concept, but since I'm now near the top I'm forced to continue to pay attention.
http://playerexchange.premierleague.com/entry/22931/history/Open ControlsNeither. Wrong solution to the problem. 🙂
Open Controlstoss a coin, I'd say Valencia is more nailed on, but is not currently on form. Young is more of a rotation risk, but is playing better and is on the odd-set piece
Open ControlsYoung, although welbeck may be a lilttle threat
Open Controls
My back 7:
Mignolet - Jaaskelainen
Rafael - Ridgewell - Garrido - Cameron - Shorey
My keepers both have tough fixtures for the next few weeks. Would you do Mignolet --> Begovic for free next week? (although Stoke have difficult games, it's Stoke).Open ControlsLet me give you the finger ... a blue finger! 😉
